Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements Fair value is 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. Financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: • Level 1 – Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Short-term and long-term investments with active markets or known redemption values are reported at fair value utilizing Level 1 inputs. • Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs (either directly or indirectly) such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or inputs that are corroborated by market data. • Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data and are projections, estimates, or interpretations that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets. As of May 5, 2018 and February 3, 2018 , the Company held certain assets that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis including available-for-sale and trading securities. The Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs May 5, 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Available-for-sale securities: Auction-rate securities $ — $ — $ 1,555 $ 1,555 Trading securities (including mutual funds) 15,337 — — 15,337 Totals $ 15,337 $ — $ 1,555 $ 16,892 Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets Significant Observable Inputs Significant Unobservable Inputs February 3, 2018 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) Total Available-for-sale securities: Auction-rate securities $ — $ 50 $ 1,555 $ 1,605 Trading securities (including mutual funds) 15,154 — — 15,154 Totals $ 15,154 $ 50 $ 1,555 $ 16,759 Securities included in Level 1 represent securities which have a known or anticipated upcoming redemption as of the reporting date and those that have publicly traded quoted prices. ARS included in Level 2 represent securities which have not experienced a successful auction subsequent to the end of fiscal 2007. The fair market value for these securities was determined by applying a discount to par value based on auction prices for similar securities and by utilizing a discounted cash flow model, using market-based inputs, to determine fair value. The Company used a discounted cash flow model to value its Level 3 investments, using estimates regarding recovery periods, yield, and liquidity. The assumptions used are subjective based upon management’s judgment and views on current market conditions, and resulted in $120 of the Company’s recorded temporary impairment as of May 5, 2018 . The use of different assumptions would result in a different valuation and related temporary impairment charge. Changes in the fair value of the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows: Thirteen Weeks Ended May 5, 2018 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Available-for-Sale Securities Trading Securities Auction-rate Securities Mutual Funds Total Balance, beginning of year $ 1,555 $ — $ 1,555 Total gains and losses: Included in net income — — — Included in other comprehensive income — — — Purchases, Issuances, Sales, and Settlements: Sales — — — Balance, end of quarter $ 1,555 $ — $ 1,555 Thirteen Weeks Ended April 29, 2017 Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) Available-for-Sale Securities Trading Securities Auction-rate Securities Mutual Funds Total Balance, beginning of year $ 1,625 $ — $ 1,625 Total gains and losses: Included in net income — — — Included in other comprehensive income — — — Purchases, Issuances, Sales, and Settlements: Sales — — — Balance, end of quarter $ 1,625 $ — $ 1,625 There were no transfers of securities between Levels 1, 2, or 3 during the thirteen week periods ended May 5, 2018 or April 29, 2017 . The Company’s policy is to recognize transfers in and transfers out as of the beginning of the reporting period in which the transfer occurred. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value due to the low level of risk these assets present and their relatively liquid nature, particularly given their short maturities. The Company also holds certain financial instruments that are not carried at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, including held-to-maturity securities. Held-to-maturity securities consist primarily of state and municipal bonds. The fair values of these debt securities are based on quoted market prices and yields for the same or similar securities, which the Company determined to be Level 2 inputs. As of May 5, 2018 , the fair value of held-to-maturity securities was $55,579 compared to the carrying amount of $55,684 . As of February 3, 2018 , the fair value of held-to-maturity securities was $55,460 compared to the carrying amount of $55,527 . The carrying values of receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other current liabilities approximates fair value because of their short-term nature. From time to time, the Company measures certain assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, specifically long-lived assets evaluated for impairment. These are typically store specific assets, which are reviewed for impairment when circumstances indicate impairment may exist due to the questionable recoverability of the carrying values of long-lived assets. If expected future cash flows related to a store’s assets are less than their carrying value, an impairment loss would be recognized for the difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the store's assets. The fair value of the store's assets is estimated utilizing an income-based approach based on the expected cash flows over the remaining life of the store's lease. The amount of impairment related to long-lived assets was immaterial as of both May 5, 2018 and February 3, 2018 . |
