Fair Value of Financial Instruments FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
 
Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure estimated fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under applicable accounting standards are described below:

Level 1    Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.  

Level 2    Inputs to the valuation methodology include:
quoted prices for similar assets in active markets;
quoted prices for identical or similar assets in inactive markets;
inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset; and
inputs that are derived principally or corroborated by observable data by correlation or other.

Level 3    Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

As of January 3, 2021 and December 29, 2019, the Company had approximately $22.0 million and $23.3 million, respectively, of Company-owned life insurance, which is measured on a readily determinable cash surrender value on a recurring basis. This Company-owned life insurance is classified as a Level 2 asset within the fair value hierarchy. Due to the short maturity of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, their carrying values approximate fair value. As of January 3, 2021, the carrying value of the Company’s borrowings under its Syndicated Credit Facility approximates fair value as the Facility bears interest rates that are similar to existing market rates. As of January 3, 2021, the estimated fair value of the Company’s 5.50% Senior Notes due 2028 (“Senior Notes”) was $316.0 million, compared with a carrying value recorded in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets of $300.0 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs. The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes is derived using quoted prices for similar instruments and is considered Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s derivative instruments is determined using discounted cash flow valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from other observable market transactions, and therefore are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
