Fair Value Measurements

 

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining fair value, the use of various valuation methodologies, including market, income and cost approaches is permissible. We consider the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

 

Fair Value Hierarchy. The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value based on the reliability of inputs. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

 

We have categorized our cash equivalents and investments within the fair value hierarchy as follows: 

 

Level 1 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. These Level 1 assets include our corporate money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents. We have categorized our cash equivalents as Level 1 assets as there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 

Level 2 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data. At September 30, 2022, we have categorized our investments as Level 2 assets. 

 

Level 3 – applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities. We held no Level 3 assets or liabilities as of September 30, 2022 or June 30, 2022.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis. The following tables show, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022. We did not have any transfers between levels of fair value measurements during the periods presented.

(1)

We invest excess cash in money market accounts and short-term investments. Our corporate money market funds are readily convertible into cash and the net asset value of each fund on the last day of the quarter is used to determine its fair value. Our corporate money market funds are classified as Level 1 assets and are included in Cash and cash equivalents within the consolidated balance sheets.

 

 

(2)

Our investments as of September 30, 2022 consist solely of U.S. Treasury Bills with maturities of one year or less. Previously held investments included fixed income securities including municipal bonds, commercial paper and certificates of deposits with maturities of one year of less. We classify our investments as available-for-sale debt investments. The fair value of our underlying investments is based on observable inputs. Our investments are classified as Level 2 and are included in Investments (short-term) within the consolidated balance sheets. All unrealized gains and losses were included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) within the consolidated balance sheets. There were no material gross unrealized gains or losses on the investments at September 30, 2022 or June 30, 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022, we did not have any outstanding bank borrowings, which we historically have categorized as a Level 2 liability. There were no investments that have been in a continuous loss position for more than one year, and there have been no other-than-temporary impairments recognized.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis. We did not record any other-than-temporary impairments on assets required to be measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during fiscal 2023 or 2022.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value for Disclosure Purposes Only. We had no outstanding bank borrowings as of September 30, 2022 and June 30, 2022.
