The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of financial instruments having Level 2 inputs were derived from non-binding consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data or quoted market prices for similar instruments. Such market prices may be quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1 inputs) or pricing determined using inputs other than quoted prices that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2 inputs). The Company performs procedures to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded such as comparing prices obtained from other sources. The following table presents financial instruments measured at fair value using unobservable inputs (Level 3) (in thousands): Fair Value Measurements Using Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) March 31, December 31, Balance, beginning of period $ (16,790 ) $ (31,824 ) Fair value adjustment (1) 17 532 Accretion expense (recognized in general and administrative expenses) (126 ) (647 ) Settlement of liability — 15,149 Total $ (16,899 ) $ (16,790 ) ______________________________________ (1) During 2019, the Company recognized an adjustment of $0.8 million in general and administrative expenses related to the change in fair value of contingent consideration, partially offset by an adjustment of $0.3 million recognized in goodwill, which was a purchase accounting adjustment attributable to the ABILITY Acquisition. 2018 Credit Facilities The Company records debt on the balance sheet at carrying value. The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt is determined based on Level 2 inputs including current market rates for similar types of borrowings. The following table presents the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt (including the current portion thereof) as of March 31, 2020 (in thousands): March 31, Carrying value $ 990,439 Fair value $ 903,158 Interest Rate Swaps In connection with the 2018 Credit Agreement, the Company entered into four interest rate swaps during the second quarter of 2018, each of which mature in March 2025, to mitigate the risk of a rise in interest rates. These interest rate swaps mitigate the exposure on the variable component of interest on the Company’s 2018 Credit Facility. The interest rate swaps fix the LIBOR component of interest on $700.0 million of the 2018 Term Facility at a weighted average rate of approximately 2.8% . See “Note 5 —Debt” for additional information. These interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges and are deemed highly effective under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company elected to adopt the expedient in 848-50-25-2 to assert probability of the hedged interest transaction regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform. The interest rate swaps are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as either assets or liabilities and any changes to the fair value are recorded through accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into interest expense in the same period in which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. Cash flows from interest rate swaps are reported in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged. The following table presents the fair value of interest rate swaps on the balance sheet as of March 31, 2020 (in thousands): Liability Derivative Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Interest rate swap contract Other current liabilities $ (16,949 ) Interest rate swap contract Other liabilities $ (57,950 ) The following table presents the fair value of interest rate swaps on the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 (in thousands): Liability Derivative Balance Sheet Location Fair Value Interest rate swap contract Other current liabilities $ (8,354 ) Interest rate swap contract Other liabilities $ (30,957 ) The following table presents the location and amount of gains and losses on interest rate swaps included in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and the statement of operations for the three and three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands): Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 Gain (Loss) recognized in OCI Statement of Operations Location (Gain) Loss reclassified from OCI Interest rate swap contract $ (37,715 ) Interest expense $ 2,127 Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 Gain (Loss) recognized in OCI Statement of Operations Location (Gain) Loss reclassified from OCI Interest rate swap contract $ (12,408 ) Interest expense $ 529 The net amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months is $17.4 million . |
