Fair Value Measurements

3 Months Ended

Mar. 29, 2024

Fair value reflects the amounts that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy has the following three levels:

•Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

•Level 2 - inputs other than level 1 that are observable either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments or on industry models using data inputs, such as interest rates and prices that can be directly observed or corroborated in active markets; and

•Level 3 - unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value measurement.

The classifications within the fair value hierarchy of our financial assets that were measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2024
	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Commercial paper	$	—	$	203,117	$	203,117
Corporate bonds	—		803,968		803,968
U.S. Treasury and government-sponsored enterprises	—		382,460		382,460
Municipal bonds	—		7,848		7,848
Total debt securities available-for-sale	—		1,397,393		1,397,393
Money market funds	133,132		—		133,132
Certificates of deposit	—		62,273		62,273
Total financial assets carried at fair value	$	133,132	$	1,459,666	$	1,592,798

	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Commercial paper	$	—	$	214,016	$	214,016
Corporate bonds	—		868,245		868,245
U.S. Treasury and government-sponsored enterprises	—		407,321		407,321
Municipal bonds	—		7,841		7,841
Total debt securities available-for-sale	—		1,497,423		1,497,423
Money market funds	154,287		—		154,287
Certificates of deposit	—		72,309		72,309
Total financial assets carried at fair value	$	154,287	$	1,569,732	$	1,724,019

When available, we value investments based on quoted prices for those financial instruments, which is a Level 1 input. Our remaining investments are valued using third-party pricing sources, which use observable market prices, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals for similar assets as observable inputs for pricing, which is a Level 2 input.

When necessary, we record impairments of long-lived assets for the amount by which the fair value is less than the carrying value of these assets. When an impairment indicator exists, we calculate the undiscounted value of the projected cash flows for the asset, or asset group, and compare this estimated amount to the carrying amount. If the carrying amount is greater, we record an impairment loss for the excess of carrying value over fair value. In addition, in all cases of an impairment review, we reevaluate the remaining useful lives of the assets and modify them, as appropriate. In connection with the 2024 Restructuring Plan, we determined certain long-lived assets were impaired. The fair value was determined using an income approach where certain level 3 inputs were used, including estimates and assumptions on the timing and amount of discounted cash flows. See “Note 11. Restructuring” for additional information.

The carrying amount of our remaining financial assets and liabilities, which include receivables and payables, approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts

We have entered into forward foreign currency exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes to hedge certain operational exposures for the changes in foreign currency exchange rates associated with assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro.

As of March 31, 2024, we had one forward contract outstanding to sell €3.6 million. The forward contract with a maturity of three months is recorded at fair value and is included in other current liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The unrealized gain on the forward contract is immaterial as of March 31, 2024. The forward contract is considered a Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy of our fair value measurements. The net realized gains (losses) we recognized on the maturity of forward contracts were immaterial for each of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and are included in other expense, net on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.
