Note 5.  Debt

 

The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is primarily based on the credit spread above U.S. Treasury securities on notes with similar rates, credit ratings, and remaining maturities.  The fair value of short-term borrowings, which include commercial paper issuances and short-term lines of credit, approximates carrying value given the short duration of these obligations.  The fair value of our total debt was $1.3 billion at April 4, 2015 and $1.22 billion at January 3, 2015. Fair value amounts were determined based primarily on Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

 

Our various loan agreements require that we maintain specified financial covenant ratios of total debt and interest expense in relation to certain measures of income.  As of April 4, 2015, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.
