Fair Value | Fair Value The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The tables below, set forth by level, presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, excluding accrued interest components that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of January 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020. The tables exclude cash on hand and assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value. As of January 30, 2021 and October 31, 2020, the Company held $205.7 million and $239.6 million, respectively, of cash and held-to-maturity investments that were excluded from the tables below.

(2) The Company has master netting arrangements by counterparty with respect to derivative contracts. See Note 9, Derivatives, in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the Company's master netting arrangements. October 31, 2020 Fair Value measurement at Reporting Date using: Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) Total Assets Cash equivalents: Available-for-sale: Government and institutional money market funds $ 816,253 $ — $ 816,253 Other assets: Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (1) — 5,427 5,427 Deferred compensation investments 52,956 — 52,956 Total assets measured at fair value $ 869,209 $ 5,427 $ 874,636 Liabilities Interest rate derivatives $ — $ 214,586 $ 214,586 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ 214,586 $ 214,586 (1) The Company has master netting arrangements by counterparty with respect to derivative contracts. See Note 9, Derivatives, in these Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the Company's master netting arrangements. The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments: Cash equivalents — These investments are adjusted to fair value based on quoted market prices or are determined using a yield curve model based on current market rates. Deferred compensation plan investments — The fair value of these mutual fund, money market fund and equity investments are based on quoted market prices. Interest rate derivatives — The fair value of the interest rate derivatives is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on the contractual terms of the derivative. Forward foreign currency exchange contracts — The estimated fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts, which includes derivatives that are accounted for as cash flow hedges and those that are not designated as cash flow hedges, is based on the estimated amount the Company would receive if it sold these agreements at the reporting date taking into consideration current interest rates as well as the creditworthiness of the counterparty for assets and the Company’s creditworthiness for liabilities. The fair value of these instruments is based upon valuation models using current market information such as strike price, spot rate, maturity date and volatility. Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Held for sale assets — The Company has classified the assets held for sale at carrying value. However, if they were to be carried at fair value, they would be considered a Level 3 fair value measurement and would be determined based on the use of appraisals and input from market participants. Debt — The table below presents the estimated fair value of certain financial instruments not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts of the term loan approximates fair value. The term loan is classified as a Level 2 measurement according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the senior unsecured notes are obtained from broker prices and are classified as Level 1 measurements according to the fair value hierarchy. January 30, 2021 October 31, 2020 Principal Amount Outstanding Fair Value Principal Amount Outstanding Fair Value 3-Year term loan, due March 2022 $ 925,000 $ 925,000 $ 925,000 $ 925,000 2.50% Senior unsecured notes, due December 2021 400,000 406,774 400,000 $ 408,565 2.875% Senior unsecured notes, due June 2023 500,000 526,131 500,000 $ 526,855 3.125% Senior unsecured notes, due December 2023 550,000 590,115 550,000 $ 590,177 2.95% Senior unsecured notes, due April 2025 400,000 434,027 400,000 $ 434,919 3.90% Senior unsecured notes, due December 2025 850,000 966,168 850,000 $ 969,033 3.50% Senior unsecured notes, due December 2026 900,000 1,015,998 900,000 $ 1,017,505 4.50% Senior unsecured notes, due December 2036 250,000 321,995 250,000 $ 298,153 5.30% Senior unsecured notes, due December 2045 400,000 558,870 400,000 $ 538,788 Total debt $ 5,175,000 $ 5,745,078 $ 5,175,000 $ 5,708,995 As of January 30, 2021, the Company believed that none of its unrealized losses on its available-for-sale investments were attributable to credit losses and therefore were not impaired. The investments with unrealized losses consisted primarily of corporate debt securities. In making the determination that the decline in fair value of these securities did not indicate impairment, the Company considered various factors, including, but not limited to: the extent to which fair value was less than cost; the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuers; and the Company’s intent not to sell these securities and the assessment that it is more likely than not that the Company would not be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Unrealized gains and losses, net of taxes, are reported as a component of AOCI in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity. No material amounts were reclassified out of AOCI during the three months ended January 30, 2021 and February 1, 2020 for realized gains or losses on available-for-sale investments. |
