  1. Leverage Ratio

In accordance with the Company’s debt agreements, the payment of principal on the outstanding senior notes may be suspended if the Holdco Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.0 x total debt to adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the related agreements, and no catch-up provisions are applicable. As of the end of thefirst quarter of 2024, the Company had a Holdco Leverage Ratio of less than 5.0 x, and accordingly, did not make the previously scheduled debt amortization payment for its outstanding notes beginning in the second quarter of 2024. Accordingly, all principal amounts of the Company’s outstanding notes have been classified as long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 24, 2024.

  1. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements enable the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. The Company classifies and discloses assets and liabilities carried at fair value in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

Fair Value of Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

The fair values of the Company’s cash equivalents and investments in marketable securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Fair Value of Investments

The Company holds a non-controlling interest in DPC Dash Ltd (“DPC Dash”), the Company’s master franchisee in China that owns and operates Domino’s Pizza stores in that market. The Company accounts for its investment in DPC Dash as a trading security and records it at fair value at the end of each reporting period, with gains and losses recorded in other income or expense in its condensed consolidated statements of income. As of March 24, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s investment in 18,101,019 DPC Dash ordinary shares is based on the active exchange quoted price for the equity security of HK$53.95 per share (HK: 1405). The Company recorded anegative adjustment to the carrying amount of its investment in DPC Dash of$18.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, with the loss recorded in other expense in its condensed consolidated statements of income. The Company did not record any adjustments to the carrying amount of its investment in the first quarter of 2023.

The following tables summarize the carrying amounts and fair values of certain assets at March 24, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Fair Value of Debt

The estimated fair values of the Company’s fixed rate notes are classified as Level 2 measurements, as the Company estimates the fair value amount by using available market information. The Company obtained quotes from two separate brokerage firms that are knowledgeable about the Company’s fixed rate notes and, at times, trade these notes. The Company also performed its own internal analysis based on the information gathered from public markets, including information on notes that are similar to those of the Company. However, considerable judgment is required to interpret market data to estimate fair value. Accordingly, the fair value estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company or the noteholders could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair values stated below.

Management estimated the approximate fair values of the Company’s 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2021 notes as follows:
