Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The carrying amounts of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and current accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature or maturity of the instruments.
The Company maintains a rabbi trust to fund obligations under a deferred compensation plan. Amounts in the rabbi trust are invested in mutual funds, which are designated as trading securities and carried at fair value and are included in Other assets, net in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fair market value of mutual funds is measured using level 1 inputs (quoted prices for identical assets in active markets).
The following tables present the Company's assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property, plant and equipment, right of use assets, and other intangible assets. These assets are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired.
During 2024 and 2023, the Company measured non-financial assets for impairment using continuing and projected future cash flows, which were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represented a level 3 fair value measurement.
During the third quarter and year to date periods of fiscal 2024, we impaired long-lived assets at three and five restaurant locations, respectively, with a carrying value of approximately $1.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively. We determined the fair value of these long-lived assets to be $1.1 million and $2.0 million as a result of the closures, resulting in a $0.2 million and $1.3 million impairment charge and a $0.6 million and $1.7 million decrease in right of use assets due to remeasurement for the quarter and year to date periods of fiscal 2024, respectively. During the third quarter and year to date periods of fiscal 2023, we impaired long-lived assets at eight and twelve restaurant locations, respectively. We also impaired the closed corporate office during the year to date period of 2023. The carrying value of the assets impaired in the third quarter of 2023 was $15.3 million and the carrying value of the assets impaired during the year to date period of 2023 was $27.7 million. We determined the fair value of these long-lived assets to be $10.5 million and $20.5 million, resulting in a $4.8 million and $7.2 million impairment charge during the quarter and year to date periods of fiscal 2023, respectively.

The carrying value of the Credit Facility was $189.1 million and the fair value of the Credit Facility was $186.9 million as of December 31, 2023. The interest rate on the Credit Facility represents a level 2 fair value input.
