Marketable Securities | 8. The FASB ASC topic entitled Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The accounting guidance classifies the inputs used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for the identical asset or liability Level 2 Observable inputs for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability The Company endeavors to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation is based on prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor using both market and income approaches. The primary inputs to the valuation include quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, contractual cash flows, benchmark yields, and credit spreads. The method described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Company believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different fair value measurement at the reporting date. Marketable securities classified as available-for-sale securities are summarized below: Available-For-Sale Securities as of March 28, 2020 Fair Value Level Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value U.S. Treasury securities Level 2 $ 15,174 $ 103 $ — $ 15,277 Agency securities Level 2 39,743 213 — 39,956 Mortgage-backed securities Level 2 289,553 1,646 (1,344 ) 289,855 Corporate securities Level 2 1,000,670 4,792 (19,800 ) 985,662 Municipal securities Level 2 178,002 1,589 (497 ) 179,094 Other Level 2 85,812 63 (4,460 ) 81,415 Total $ 1,608,954 $ 8,406 $ (26,101 ) $ 1,591,259 Available-For-Sale Securities as of December 28, 2019 Fair Value Level Amortized Cost Gross Unrealized Gains Gross Unrealized Losses Fair Value U.S. Treasury securities Level 2 $ 15,204 $ 5 $ (30 ) $ 15,179 Agency securities Level 2 64,582 120 (27 ) 64,675 Mortgage-backed securities Level 2 256,417 90 (2,485 ) 254,022 Corporate securities Level 2 980,590 8,806 (3,746 ) 985,650 Municipal securities Level 2 163,898 1,092 (235 ) 164,755 Other Level 2 98,246 111 (700 ) 97,657 Total $ 1,578,937 $ 10,224 $ (7,223 ) $ 1,581,938 The Company’s investment policy targets low risk investments with the objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. The fair value of securities varies from period to period due to changes in interest rates, the performance of the underlying collateral, and the credit performance of the underlying issuer, among other factors. Accrued interest receivable, which totaled $ 10,479 as of March 28, 2020, is excluded from both the fair value and amortized cost basis of available-for-sale securities and is included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company writes off impaired accrued interest on a timely basis, generally within 30 days of the due date, by reversing interest income. No accrued interest was written off during the 13-week period ended March 28, 2020. The Company recognizes impairments relating to credit losses of available-for-sale securities through an allowance for credit losses and Other income (expense) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Impairment not relating to credit losses is recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method. Approximately 49% of securities in the Company’s portfolio were at an unrealized loss position as of March 28, 2020. The following tables display additional information regarding gross unrealized losses and fair value by major security type for available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position as of March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019.

We have not observed a significant deterioration in credit quality of these securities, which are rated as investment grade with moderate to low credit risk. The declines in value are largely attributable to current global economic conditions. The securities continue to make timely principal and interest payments, and the fair values are expected to recover as they approach maturity. The Company does not intend to sell the securities, and it is not more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the securities, before the respective recoveries of their amortized cost bases, which may be maturity. The amortized cost and fair value of marketable securities at March 28, 2020, by maturity, are shown below. Amortized Cost Fair Value Due in one year or less $ 392,059 $ 391,646 Due after one year through five years 1,044,059 1,033,884 Due after five years through ten years 162,618 156,442 Due after ten years 10,218 9,287 $ 1,608,954 $ 1,591,259 |
