Fair Value Measurements | Note 5—Fair Value Measurements The Company has characterized its investments in marketable securities, based on the priority of the inputs used to value the investments, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). If the inputs used to measure the investments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the investment. Investments recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets are categorized based on the inputs to valuation techniques as follows: Level 1—These are investments where values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets in an active market that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2—These are investments where values are based on quoted market prices in markets that are not active or model derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in active markets. Level 3—These are financial instruments where values are derived from techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable. The Company did not have any Level 3 instruments as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Short- and long-term investments and certain cash equivalents consist of investments in debt securities. With the exception of money market funds, these investments in debt securities are classified as available-for-sale.

The Company evaluates fair value for each individual security in the investment portfolio. All investments in an unrealized loss position have been in an unrealized loss position for less than 12 months as of March 31, 2021. The Company typically invests in short- and long-term instruments, including fixed-income funds and U.S. Government and agency securities aligned with our investment strategy. The maturities of the Company’s non-current marketable debt securities generally range from greater than 12 and up to 37 months. Disclosure of Fair Values The Company’s financial instruments that are not measured at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets include the Notes, see “Note 7—Debt.” The Company estimates the fair value of the Notes through inputs that are observable in the market, classified as Level 2 as described above. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Notes as of the dates indicated (in thousands): As of March 31, 2021 As of December 31, 2020 Carrying Value (1) Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value 2020 Notes $ 642,342 $ 855,530 $ 511,733 $ 536,126 2019 Notes 643,552 1,540,435 514,035 566,399 2018 Notes 16,456 91,346 39,166 42,157 $ 1,302,350 $ 2,487,311 $ 1,064,934 $ 1,144,682 (1) Upon adoption of ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2021, the carrying value of the Notes increased due to the derecognition of the unamortized debt discount, as described in “Note 1—Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements.” The increase in the carrying value of the 2018 Notes was offset by the conversion of $27.3 million of the 2018 Notes in the first quarter of 2021 (see “Note 7—Debt”). The carrying value of other financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, funds receivable and seller accounts, and funds payable and amounts due to sellers approximate fair value due to the immediate or short-term maturity associated with these instruments. |
