Prism insures a portion of our general liability, workers' compensation and automobile liability risks using reinsurance agreements to meet statutory requirements. The reinsurance carrier requires Prism to maintain fixed-maturity investments, for the purpose of providing collateral for Prism's obligations under the reinsurance agreements.
The amortized cost and estimated fair values of our municipal and corporate bonds at February 28, 2026, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities, as borrowers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without penalty. Investments that are due within one year are included in other current assets while those due after one year are included as other non-current assets. Gross realized gains and losses were insignificant for all periods presented.

Derivative instruments
We may use interest rate swaps, currency put options, forward purchase contracts, or other instruments to manage risks generally associated with foreign exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price fluctuations. The information that follows explains the various types of derivatives and financial instruments used, how such instruments are accounted for, and how such instruments impact our financial position and performance.
In fiscal 2025, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $75.0 million with an expiration date of January 5, 2027, to hedge a portion of our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on our floating-rate revolving credit facility.
In fiscal 2026, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional value of $50.0 million with an expiration date of August 5, 2027, to hedge a portion of our exposure to variability in cash flows from interest payments on our floating-rate revolving credit facility. In fiscal 2026, an interest rate swap with a notional value $30.0 million expired in accordance with the associated agreement.
In fiscal 2026, we entered into multiple aluminum commodity swap contracts with an aggregate notional value of $27.7 million to hedge a portion of our exposure to variability in cash flows associated with forecasted aluminum purchases. These swap contracts mature over the next twelve months, with final settlements occurring by March 2027.
The mark-to-market adjustments on these derivative instruments are recorded within our Consolidated Balance Sheets within other current assets and other current liabilities. Gains or losses associated with these instruments are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive gain or loss until which time the hedged transaction is settled and gains or losses are recorded in net earnings.
Fair value measurements
Financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities); Level 2
(observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data). We do not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities.

Money market funds
Fair value of money market funds was determined based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets. These assets are included within cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Municipal bonds
Municipal bonds were measured at fair value based on market prices from recent trades of similar securities and are classified within our Consolidated Balance Sheets as other current or other non-current assets based on maturity date.
Derivative instruments
The interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using other observable market inputs, based off benchmark interest rates. Forward foreign exchange and forward purchase aluminum contracts are measured at fair value using other observable market inputs, such as quotations on forward foreign exchange points, foreign currency exchange rates and forward purchase aluminum prices. Derivative positions are primarily valued using standard calculations and models that use as their basis readily observable market parameters. Industry standard data providers are our primary source for forward and spot rate information for interest and currency rates and aluminum prices.
Nonrecurring fair value measurements
We measure certain long‑lived assets — including goodwill, intangible assets, property and equipment, and right‑of‑use lease assets — at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when indicators of impairment are present. These assets, initially recorded at fair value upon acquisition or purchase, are evaluated periodically, and if impairment indicators exist, we compare their carrying values to their estimated fair values and recognize an impairment charge for any excess carrying value. See Note 1 for further information on impairment of long-lived assets.
