Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	17. Fair Value Measurements Adtalem has elected not to measure any assets or liabilities at fair value other than those required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill, intangible assets, and assets of businesses where the long-term value of the operations have been impaired. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. The guidance establishes fair value measurement classifications under the following hierarchy: Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2 – Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3 –Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable. When available, Adtalem uses quoted market prices to determine fair value, and such measurements are classified within Level 1. In cases where market prices are not available, Adtalem makes use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates and yield curves. These measurements are classified within Level 3. Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable. The carrying value of our cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and is classified as Level 1. Adtalem maintains a rabbi trust to fund obligations under a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The rabbi trust investments in stock and bond mutual funds, which are carried at fair value and classified as marketable securities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All investments in marketable securities are recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices using Level 1 inputs. The fair value of the credit extension programs, which approximates its carrying value, included in accounts receivable, net and other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 of $30.6 million, $34.3 million, and $36.3 million, respectively, is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates for similar arrangements and is classified as Level 2. See Note 8 “Accounts Receivable and Credit Losses” for additional information on these credit extension programs. In connection with the sale of DeVry University, Adtalem loaned $10.0 million to DeVry University under the terms of the Note. The Note bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable annually in arrears, and has a maturity date of January 1, 2022. The fair value of the DeVry University loan receivable approximates its carrying value of $10.0 million for each reporting date. The carrying value is included on the Consolidated Balance Sheet in other assets, net as of each of December 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, respectively, except for $5.1 million within prepaid expenses and other current assets as of December 31, 2020. Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using an average of current rates for similar arrangements, which is estimated at 4% per annum and is classified as Level 2. On July 31, 2019, Adtalem sold its Chicago, Illinois, campus facility to DePaul College Prep. In connection with the sale, Adtalem holds a mortgage from DePaul College Prep for $46.8 million. The mortgage is due on July 31, 2024 as a balloon payment and bears interest at a rate of 4% per annum, payable monthly. The carrying value of the DePaul College Prep loan receivable, which approximates its fair value, included in other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019 is $42.0 million, $41.4 million, and $40.8 million, respectively. Fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using an average of current rates for similar arrangements, which is estimated at 7% per annum and is classified as Level 2. As of December 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, borrowings under our Credit Facility were $292.5 million, $294.0 million, and $420.5 million, respectively. The carrying value of our long-term debt approximates fair value because the interest rates on these borrowings approximated the effective interest rate and is classified as Level 2. See Note 12 “Debt” for additional information on the Credit Facility. On March 24, 2020, we executed a pay-fixed, receive-variable interest rate swap agreement with a multinational financial institution to fully mitigate risks associated with the variable interest rate on our Term B Loan debt with an effective date of March 31, 2020. The fair value of our Swap is based in part on data received from the counterparty, and represents the estimated amount we would receive or pay to settle the Swap, taking into consideration current and projected future interest rates as well as the creditworthiness of the counterparty, all of which can be validated through readily observable data from external sources, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. The fair value of the Swap is represented within other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet with a balance of $9.6 million and $10.4 million as of December 31, 2020 and June 30, 2020, respectively. See Note 12 “Debt” for additional information on the Swap. In connection with the sale of Adtalem Brazil completed on April 24, 2020, Adtalem entered into a deal-contingent foreign currency hedge arrangement to economically hedge the Brazilian Real denominated sales price through mitigation of the currency exchange rate risk. The hedge agreement had a total notional amount of R$2,154. Adtalem recorded a pre-tax unrealized loss on the hedge agreement derivative based on a foreign exchange forward spot rate as of December 31, 2019 of $28.0 million in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020 and is included within accrued liabilities on the December 31, 2019 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The fair value of this derivative was calculated using observable market-based inputs to a model to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. These model inputs include foreign exchange forward contract spot rates and contract defined point adjustments and settlement prices. As of December 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles arising from a business combination. These assets are not amortized and charged to expense over time. Instead, goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles must be reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if circumstances arise indicating potential impairment. This impairment review was most recently completed as of May 31, 2020. See Note 11 “Goodwill and Intangible Assets” for additional information on the impairment review, including valuation techniques and assumptions.
