FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The Company’s outstanding debt held by third-party financial institutions is carried at cost, adjusted for premium or discounts. The Company’s debt is not publicly traded and the carrying amounts typically approximate fair value for the Company’s debt that accrues interest at a variable rate. The estimated fair values of the 7% senior notes and the 2.875% convertible senior notes were $466.4 million and $224.1 million, respectively, at March 31, 2014. The estimated fair values of the 7% senior notes and the 2.875% convertible senior notes were $461.9 million and $223.0 million, respectively, at December 31, 2013. The estimated fair value of the Company’s third-party fixed-rate debt is based on quoted market prices in active markets for the same or similar debt, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs as defined in the FASB guidance. The Company has fixed rate debt held by noncontrolling interest partners with a face value of $34.9 million and $34.6 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Company is unable to determine the fair value of this debt.
