Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Measurements

We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Authoritative guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

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

Level 2: 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 significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3: Fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to their high liquidity and short-term nature, and are therefore categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Our money market funds accrue dividends, which are reinvested in the fund, and are reflected in the carrying values of the funds. As of September 30, 2023, the carrying value of our money market funds was $146.2 million, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We did not have any money market funds at December 31, 2022.

Hedging instruments are re-measured on a recurring basis using broker quotes, daily market foreign currency rates, and interest rate curves as applicable (see Note 14) and are therefore categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate hedge agreements (see Note 14) that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in millions):


	Fair Value		Level 2
September 30, 2023
Foreign currency forward contracts—asset position	$	12.4	$	12.4
Foreign currency forward contracts—liability position	(0.8)		(0.8)
Interest rate hedge agreements—asset position	16.2		16.2

	$	27.8	$	27.8
December 31, 2022
Foreign currency forward contracts—asset position	$	0.2	$	0.2
Foreign currency forward contracts—liability position	(5.4)		(5.4)
Interest rate hedge agreements—asset position	7.2		7.2

	$	2.0	$	2.0

There were no transfers of financial instruments between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

In March 2023, we completed a modification of our U.S. Asset-Based Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan B and Topgolf Credit Facilities. For further information about the modification of these facilities, see Note 5, “Financing Arrangements.”

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain long-lived assets, goodwill, non-amortizing intangible assets and investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis, at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. These assets are written down to fair value when they are held for sale or are determined to be impaired. We did not recognize any impairments on these assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. In the third quarter of 2022, we recognized an impairment loss of $4.8 million related to the impairment of property, plant and equipment at our Topgolf operating segment. The impairment was included in other venue expenses in our consolidated condensed statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, and was categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
