ESCALADE INC Fair Value Disclosure

Note 13 —    Fair Values of Financial Instruments

 

Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures,” outlines a valuation framework and creates a fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities as follows:

 

-

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

-

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

-

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

 

Due to their short-term nature, the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain other current liabilities approximated their carrying values at December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company believes the carrying value of borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit facility, due to variable rate interest, adequately reflects the fair value of these instruments. We measure certain items at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, primarily goodwill, and long-lived tangible and ROU assets, in connection with periodic evaluations for potential impairment. We estimate the fair value of these assets using primarily unobservable inputs and, as such, these are considered Level 3 fair value measurements.

 

The Company discloses the fair value of its term loan using Level 2 inputs, which are estimated using treasury rates for a similar instrument, as follows:

 

		December 31, 2025								December 31, 2024
In thousands		Carrying Value				Fair Value				Carrying Value				Fair Value
Term Loan Facility		$	18,452			$	17,689			$	25,595			$	23,528
