The deferred compensation plan liability represents the amount that would be earned by participants if the funds were invested in securities traded in active markets. The fair value of the deferred compensation plan liability is determined based on quoted prices of similar assets that are traded in observable markets, or represents the cash withheld by participants prior to any investment activity.
The book value of cash, certain of our other current assets, accounts payable, and certain of our accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity and high liquidity of these instruments.
As of January 31, 2026 and February 1, 2025, the fair value of the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement was approximately $117.1 million and $274.1 million, respectively. The fair value of the Amended Term Loan Credit Agreement is determined using current applicable rates for similar instruments as of each balance sheet date, a Level 2 measurement.
The book value of the ABL Facility approximates fair value because of the variable interest rate of this facility, a Level 2 measurement.

About Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value disclosures classify all assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (observable inputs like yield curves), and Level 3 (unobservable inputs requiring management estimates). The proportion of Level 3 assets directly reflects how much of the balance sheet depends on internal models rather than market evidence.

Key signals: a growing Level 3 balance relative to total fair-value assets increases valuation uncertainty and earnings volatility risk. Watch for transfers between levels — assets moving from Level 2 to Level 3 often signal deteriorating market liquidity. Unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 positions flow through earnings or other comprehensive income, so large swings deserve scrutiny. For financial institutions, examine the sensitivity disclosures that show how Level 3 valuations change under alternative assumptions. Compare the fair value of debt against its carrying amount to gauge hidden leverage.
