Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements	5. Fair Value Measurements The Company utilizes the three-level valuation hierarchy as described in Note 4, Facility Exit and Impairment Charges, for the recognition and disclosure of fair value measurements. Financial instruments other than long-term indebtedness include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. These instruments are recorded at book value, which we believe approximate their fair values due to their short term nature. In addition, as of September 2, 2023 and March 4, 2023, the Company has $4,189 and $7,457, respectively, of investments carried at amortized cost as these investments are being held to maturity, which are included as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets. The Company believes the carrying value of these investments approximates their fair value. The fair value for Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) based borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility is estimated based on the quoted market price of the financial instrument which is considered Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of substantially all of the Company’s other long-term indebtedness are estimated based on quoted market prices of the financial instruments which are considered Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s total long-term indebtedness was $3,767,350 and $3,165,382 respectively, as of September 2, 2023. The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company's total long-term indebtedness was $2,925,258 and $2,368,328, respectively, as of March 4, 2023.
