12. Fair Value Measurements
We apply the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:
The following tables summarize assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

The Level 2 marketable securities primarily include U.S treasury and government agency securities, corporate debt securities, state and local municipal securities, variable-rate demand notes, and certificates of deposit. Fair values are based on quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities or determined using inputs that use readily observable market data that are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including third-party pricing services, brokers and market transactions. We review the pricing techniques and methodologies of the independent pricing service for Level 2 investments and believe that its policies adequately consider market activity, either based on specific transactions for the security valued or based on modeling of securities with similar credit quality, duration, yield and structure that were recently traded. We monitor security-specific valuation trends and we make inquiries with the pricing service about material changes or the absence of expected changes to understand the underlying factors and inputs and to validate the reasonableness of the pricing.
Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on the consolidated financial statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as fixed assets, operating lease right-of-use-assets, goodwill, other intangible assets and other assets. These assets are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired.
We recorded impairment losses for operating lease right-of-use assets of $0.5 million in cost of sales. We recorded impairment losses for fixed asset of $1.3 million in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended January 31, 2026.
We recorded impairment losses for operating lease right-of-use assets of $0.6 million in costs of sales. We recorded impairment losses for fixed assets of $0.9 million in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of income (loss) for the year ended February 1, 2025.

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.
