Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), certain of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which are carried at fair value, are classified in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Observable market-based inputs, other than Level 1, or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and reflect the Company’s own assumptions.

The carrying amount of the Company's financial instruments (cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and the revolving credit facility) approximates the fair value of these instruments based upon either their short-term nature or their variable market rate of interest.

Interest Rate Swap Agreement

The Company’s derivative instrument consists of an interest rate swap contract, which is a Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and included in "Intangibles and other assets, net" in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of February 28, 2023. See Note 16 for more information.

The Company’s financial instruments that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022 is as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Carrying Value					Carrying Value

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

Investment in Joint Venture

The fair value of the investment in joint venture that is accounted for under the equity method was determined using the income approach. The income approach uses discounted cash flow models that require various observable and non-observable inputs, such as operating margins, revenues, product costs, operating expenses, capital expenditures, terminal-year values and risk-adjusted discount rates. These valuations resulted in Level 3 nonrecurring fair value measurements. The carrying value of our investment in joint venture, which approximates the fair value, was $84.8 million at February 28, 2023.

Long-Term Debt

The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt instruments are estimated based on market values for debt issues with similar characteristics or rates currently available for debt with similar terms. These valuations are Level 2 fair value measurements.

The principal amount of our outstanding debt was $1,125.3 million and $227.0 million at February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022. The estimated fair value of our outstanding debt was $1,133.2 million and $227.0 million at February 28, 2023 and February 28, 2022, excluding unamortized issuance costs. The estimated fair values of our outstanding debt were determined based on the present value of future cash flows using model-derived valuations that use observable inputs such as interest rates and credit spreads. These valuations resulted in Level 2 nonrecurring fair value measurements.
