As used herein, references to “Crew” refer to our employees, and references to “Shipcenters” refer to our distribution and logistics centers. The Company’s edited assortment of products includes select brands and licensed merchandise.

Fair value is defined 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. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified using the following hierarchy, which is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation at the measurement date: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs, other than Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable. Level 3: Unobservable inputs developed using the Company’s estimates and assumptions which reflect those that market participants would use. The classification of fair value measurements within the hierarchy are based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurement. The Company’s financial instruments consist primarily of cash equivalents, investment securities, accounts payable, borrowings, if any, under a line of credit, equity method investments and notes receivable. The Company believes that: (1) the carrying value of cash equivalents and accounts payable are representative of their respective fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments; and (2) the carrying value of the borrowings, if any, under the line of credit approximates fair value because the line of credit’s interest rates vary with market interest rates. Under the fair value hierarchy, the fair market values of cash equivalents and the investments in corporate bonds are Level 1 while the investments in municipal bonds are Level 2. The fair market values of Level 2 instruments are determined by management with the assistance of a third-party pricing service. Since quoted prices in active markets for identical assets are not available, these prices are determined by the third-party pricing service using observable market information such as quotes from less active markets and quoted prices of similar securities. As of April 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022, the Company had cash equivalents of $322.0 million, $313.2 million and $50.7 million, respectively. The Company’s cash equivalents typically consist of cash management solutions, credit and debit card receivables, money market funds, corporate bonds and municipal bonds with original maturities of 90 days or less. Fair value for cash equivalents was determined based on Level 1 inputs. As of April 29, 2023, January 28, 2023 and April 30, 2022, the Company's investment securities are classified as held-to-maturity since the Company has the intent and ability to hold the investments to maturity.
