Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

6 Months Ended

Jul. 31, 2021

As required, financial assets and liabilities are classified in the fair value hierarchy in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). We did not record any significant impairment charges during the 13 or 26 weeks ended July 31, 2021 and August 1, 2020.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash and Accounts payable as reported in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities.

The aggregate fair values and carrying values of our long-term borrowings were as follows:


	July 31, 2021				January 30, 2021				August 1, 2020
(in millions)	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Level 1
Senior Notes	$	3,590.5	$	3,233.5	$	3,654.4	$	3,231.5	$	3,999.9	$	3,530.8

The fair values of our Senior Notes were determined using Level 1 inputs as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are available. The carrying value of our Revolving Credit Facility approximates its fair value because the interest rates vary with market interest rates.
