Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Assets and
liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are:
•Level 1 – Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.
A financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. In addition, the Company considers and uses all valuation methods that are appropriate in estimating the fair value of an asset or liability.
The following tables summarize the fair value of financial assets and liabilities and their classification by level of input within the fair value hierarchy as of January 31, 2026 and January 31, 2025 (in thousands):

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.
