 includes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:•Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;•Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and•Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which include management’s own assumption about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk.Sysco’s policy is to invest in only high-quality investments. Cash equivalents primarily include cash deposits, time deposits, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, high-quality money market funds and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities measured at fair value:•Cash deposits included in cash equivalents are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. These are included within cash equivalents as a Level 1 measurement in the tables below.•Time deposits and commercial paper included in cash equivalents are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. These are included within cash equivalents as a Level 2 measurement in the tables below.•Money market funds are valued at the closing price reported by the fund sponsor from an actively traded exchange. These are included within cash equivalents as Level 1 measurements in the tables below.•Fixed income securities are valued using evaluated bid prices based on a compilation of observable market information or a broker quote in a non-active market. Inputs used vary by type of security, but include spreads, yields, rate benchmarks, rate of prepayment, cash flows, rating changes and collateral performance and type.•Interest rate swap agreements are valued using a swap valuation model that utilizes an income approach using observable market inputs including Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) yield curves.•Foreign currency forwards are valued based on exchange rates quoted by domestic and foreign banks for similar instruments.•Cross-currency swaps are valued based on an income approach using observable market inputs including foreign currency rates and interest rates in both countries subject to the swap. •Fuel swap contracts are valued based on observable market transactions of forward commodity prices.The fair value of our marketable securities is measured using inputs that are considered a Level 2 measurement, as they rely on quoted prices in markets that are not actively traded or observable inputs over the full term of the asset.
