FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Financial assets and financial liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified in a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation process. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is based on the observability and objectivity of the pricing inputs, as follows:
Ìý
•
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•
Level 2 — Significant directly observable data (other than Level 1 quoted prices) or significant indirectly observable data through corroboration with observable market data. Inputs would normally be (i)Ìýquoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, (ii)Ìýquoted prices in inactive markets for identical or similar assets or liabilities or (iii)Ìýinformation derived from or corroborated by observable market data.
•
Level 3 — Prices or valuation techniques that require significant unobservable data inputs. These inputs would normally be ±«ÓãÖ±²¥â€™s own data and judgments about assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The following table summarizes financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured and recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value on a recurring basis:

There were no transfers among the levels within the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended December 2018 or the three months ended March 2018.

±«ÓãÖ±²¥â€™s cash equivalents include money market funds and short-term time deposits that approximate fair value based on Level 1 measurements. The fair value of derivative financial instruments, which consist of foreign exchange forward contracts, is determined based on observable market inputs (Level 2), including spot and forward exchange rates for foreign currencies, and considers the credit risk of the Company and its counterparties. Investment securities are held in ±«ÓãÖ±²¥â€™s deferred compensation plans as an economic hedge of the related deferred compensation liabilities. These investments are classified as trading securities and primarily include mutual funds (LevelÌý1) that are valued based on quoted prices in active markets and a separately managed fixed-income fund (LevelÌý2) with underlying investments that are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices in inactive markets for identical assets. Liabilities related to ±«ÓãÖ±²¥â€™s deferred compensation plans are recorded at amounts due to participants, based on the fair value of the participants’ selection of hypothetical investments.
All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at cost, except life insurance contracts which are recorded at cash surrender value. These other financial assets and financial liabilities include cash held as demand deposits, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. At December 2018 and March 2018, their carrying values approximated fair value. Additionally, at December 2018 and March 2018, the carrying values of ±«ÓãÖ±²¥â€™s long-term debt, including the current portion, were $2,140.8 million and $2,218.8 million, respectively, compared with fair values of $2,282.6 million and $2,403.9 million at those respective dates. Fair value for long-term debt is a Level 2 estimate based on quoted market prices or values of comparable borrowings.
