Fair Value Measurements
We determine fair value based on the fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. Fair value is defined as 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. Fair value assumes that a transaction to sell an asset or transfer a liability occurs in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability and establishes that the fair value of an asset or liability shall be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is based upon the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:
•Level 1 – Valuation is based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
•Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
•Level 3 – Valuation is based upon other unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurements.
Our Level 1 financial instruments are traded in active markets and the fair value is based on quoted market prices for identical instruments. The fair value of our Level 2 fixed-income securities is obtained from an independent pricing service, which may use quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments or model-driven valuations using observable market data or inputs corroborated by observable market data. Our marketable securities are held by custodians who obtain investment prices from a third-party pricing provider that incorporates standard inputs in various asset price models.
Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows:

The above table excludes $360.7 million and $238.4 million of cash held in bank accounts at the end of June 2025 and 2024, respectively. We did not have any financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis within Level 3 fair value during fiscal 2025 and 2024 and there were no transfers in or out of our Level 1 or 2 assets during the same periods.
Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
We report our financial instruments at fair value with the exception of the Senior Notes and Term Loan. See “Note 8. Debt and Revolving Credit Facility.” The estimated fair value of the Senior Notes was determined based on the trading price of the notes as of the last day of trading for the period. We consider the fair value of these notes to be a Level 2 measurement as they are not traded in active markets.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Senior Notes and Term Debt were as follows:

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.
