(1)	Level 1 fair value estimates are based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

(2)	Level 2 fair value estimates are based on quoted prices for identical or comparable instruments in markets that are not active or comparable instruments in active markets.

In addition to the amounts presented above, as of both March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company had $4 million of investments in government money market funds, used as collateral for letters of credit deposits, which were included in Other current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the Company also had $33 million and $30 million, respectively, of investments in mutual funds held in a Rabbi trust established for the Company’s deferred compensation plan, which were included in Other assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. These government money market funds and mutual funds are classified within Level 1 because they are valued using quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Their amortized cost approximates the fair value for all periods presented. The Company is restricted from accessing these investments.

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company carries its financial instruments at fair value with the exception of its debt. Financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value are measured at fair value on a quarterly basis for disclosure purposes. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments not recorded at fair value are as follows:



	March 28, 2020				December 28, 2019
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
	(In millions)
Long-term debt, net⁽¹⁾	$	488	$	1,810	$	486	$	1,823

⁽¹⁾

Carrying amounts of long-term debt are net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $4 million as of both March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019, and net of unamortized debt discount associated with the 2.125% Notes of $71 million as of March 28, 2020 and $73 million as of December 28, 2019. The carrying amounts above do not include the equity component related to the conversion feature of the 2.125% Notes of $95 million as of both March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is based on Level 2 inputs. The Company’s 2.125% Notes, included in Long-term debt, net above, were convertible at the option of the holder as of March 28, 2020. The estimated fair value of the 2.125% Notes considers the relationship between the Company’s stock price of $46.58 as of March 27, 2020, the last trading day of the three months ended March 28, 2020 and the equivalent initial conversion price of approximately $8.00 per share of common stock.

The fair value of the Company’s accounts receivable, accounts payable and other short-term obligations approximate their carrying value based on existing payment terms.

Hedging Transactions and Derivative Financial Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges Designated as Accounting Hedges and Foreign Currency Forward Contracts Not Designated as Accounting Hedges

The Company hedges its exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk related to future forecasted transaction cash flows denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars over a maximum of 12 months. The contracts generally mature within 12 months, and, upon maturity, the amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are expected to be reclassified into earnings.

The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the short-term effects of foreign currency fluctuations on certain receivables or payables denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars. These forward contracts generally mature within 3 months. The gains or losses on these contracts are recognized in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on the changes in fair value.

As of March 28, 2020 and December 28, 2019, the notional values of the Company’s outstanding foreign currency forward contracts were $583 million and $739 million, respectively. Unrealized and realized gains and losses for these contracts were not material for the three months ended March 28, 2020 and March 30, 2019.
