Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies a. Principles of Consolidation The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. Upon consolidation, all intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated. Certain amounts reported in previous years have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2020 (fiscal 2020). The Company’s fiscal year is the 52-week or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to the last day in October. Fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019 were 52-week fiscal periods, while fiscal 2018 was a 53-week period. The additional week in fiscal 2018 was included in the first quarter ended February 3, 2018. Therefore, fiscal 2018 included an additional week of operations as compared to fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019. On July 12, 2020, the Company entered into a definitive agreement (the Merger Agreement) to acquire Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (Maxim), an independent manufacturer of innovative analog and mixed-signal products and technologies. See Note 6, Acquisitions , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. As further discussed in Note 2n, Revenue Recognition , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. See Note 2n, Revenue Recognition , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the details of the Company’s revenue recognition policies. As shown in the table below, pursuant to the guidance in ASU 2014-09, the Company restated its historical financial results to be consistent with the standard. Accordingly, the amounts for fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 periods presented in this Form 10-K reflect the impact of ASU 2014-09. In addition, the Company adopted ASU 2017-07, Compensation - Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. Under this ASU, the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is recorded in Cost of sales, Research and development, and Selling, marketing, general and administrative expenses, while the remaining components are recorded to Other, net within the Company's Consolidated Statements of Income. As such, the prior year amounts have been reclassified to provide comparable presentation in line with the guidance in ASU 2017-07 based on amounts previously disclosed for the various components of net periodic benefit cost. See Note 11, Retirement Plans , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASU 2017-07. The tables below reconcile the impact of ASU 2014-09 and ASU 2017-07 on the Consolidated Statement of Income for the year ended November 3, 2018: Consolidated Statement of Income As Reported Impact of Adoption of ASU 2014-09 Impact of Adoption of ASU 2017-07 As Adjusted Revenue $ 6,200,942 $ 23,747 $ — $ 6,224,689 Cost of sales 1,967,640 6,950 (297) 1,974,293 Gross margin 4,233,302 16,797 297 4,250,396 Operating expenses: Research and development 1,165,410 — (363) 1,165,047 Selling, marketing, general and administrative 695,937 — (397) 695,540 Amortization of intangibles 428,902 — — 428,902 Special charges 61,318 — — 61,318 2,351,567 — (760) 2,350,807 Operating income 1,881,735 16,797 1,057 1,899,589 Nonoperating expense (income): Interest expense 253,589 — — 253,589 Interest income (9,383) — — (9,383) Other, net (988) — 1,057 69 243,218 — 1,057 244,275 Income before income taxes 1,638,517 16,797 — 1,655,314 Provision for income taxes 143,085 5,249 — 148,334 Net income $ 1,495,432 $ 11,548 $ — $ 1,506,980 Shares used to compute earnings per common share – basic 370,430 — — 370,430 Shares used to compute earnings per common share – diluted 374,938 — — 374,938 Basic earnings per common share $ 4.02 $ 0.03 $ — $ 4.05 Diluted earnings per common share $ 3.97 $ 0.03 $ — $ 4.00 The impact on the Company's previously reported consolidated balance sheet line items is as follows: November 3, 2018 As Reported Impact of Adoption of ASU 2014-09 As Adjusted Deferred tax assets $ 21,078 $ (11,413) $ 9,665 Deferred income on shipments to distributors, net $ 487,417 $ (487,417) $ — Accrued liabilities $ 497,080 $ 133,027 $ 630,107 Deferred income taxes $ 927,065 $ 63,344 $ 990,409 Retained earnings $ 5,703,064 $ 279,633 $ 5,982,697 In addition, in the first quarter of fiscal 2019, the Company adopted ASU 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740) (ASU 2016-16) using the modified retrospective method with a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings. ASU 2016-16 requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset, other than inventory, when the transfer occurs. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 resulted in the following cumulative-effect increase in the Company's deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities and retained earnings: November 4, 2018 Beginning Balance November 3, 2018 as Adjusted Impact of Adoption of ASU 2016-16 Balance November 4, 2018 Deferred tax assets $ 9,665 $ 1,655,129 $ 1,664,794 Deferred income taxes $ 990,409 $ 1,324,103 $ 2,314,512 Retained earnings $ 5,982,697 $ 331,026 $ 6,313,723 See Note 12, Income Taxes , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the adoption of ASU 2016-16. b. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with insignificant interest rate risk and maturities of ninety days or less at the time of acquisition. Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of government and institutional money market funds, corporate obligations such as commercial paper and floating rate notes, bonds, demand deposit accounts and bank time deposits. The Company classifies its investments in readily marketable debt and equity securities as “held-to-maturity,” “available-for-sale” or “trading” at the time of purchase. There were no transfers between investment classifications in any of the fiscal years presented. Held-to-maturity securities, which are carried at amortized cost, include only those securities the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold to maturity. Securities such as bank time deposits, which by their nature are typically held to maturity, are classified as such. The Company’s other readily marketable cash equivalents are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax, reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (AOCI). Adjustments to the fair value of investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded as an increase or decrease in AOCI, unless the adjustment is considered an other-than-temporary impairment, in which case the adjustment is recorded as a charge in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The Company’s deferred compensation plan investments are classified as trading. See Note 2j, Fair Value and Note 11, Retirement Plans , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on these investments. The Company periodically evaluates its investments for impairment. There were no other-than-temporary impairments of investments in any of the fiscal years presented. Realized gains or losses on investments are determined based on the specific identification basis and are recognized in nonoperating (income) expense. There were no material net realized gains or losses from the sales of available-for-sale investments during any of the fiscal periods presented. The components of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents as of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019 were as follows: 2020 2019 Cash $ 239,607 $ 152,432 Available-for-sale 816,253 416,890 Held-to-maturity — 79,000 Total cash and cash equivalents $ 1,055,860 $ 648,322 See Note 2j, Fair Value , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on the Company’s cash equivalents. c. Supplemental Cash Flow Statement Information 2020 2019 2018 Cash paid during the fiscal year for: Income taxes $ 237,691 $ 205,762 $ 211,473 Interest $ 185,854 $ 216,143 $ 233,436 d. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The valuation of inventory requires the Company to estimate obsolete or excess inventory as well as inventory that is not of saleable quality. The Company employs a variety of methodologies to determine the net realizable value of its inventory. While a portion of the calculation to record inventory at its net realizable value is based on the age of the inventory and lower of cost or market calculations, a key factor in estimating obsolete or excess inventory requires the Company to estimate the future demand for its products. If actual demand is less than the Company’s estimates, impairment charges, which are recorded to cost of sales, may need to be recorded in future periods. Inventory in excess of saleable amounts is not valued, and the remaining inventory is valued at the lower of cost or market. Inventories at October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019 were as follows: 2020 2019 Raw materials $ 33,806 $ 35,447 Work in process 443,690 400,409 Finished goods 130,764 174,030 Total inventories $ 608,260 $ 609,886 e. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) is recorded at cost, less allowances for depreciation. The straight-line method of depreciation is used for all classes of assets for financial statement purposes while both straight-line and accelerated methods are used for income tax purposes. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the lesser of the term of the lease or the useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. Depreciation is based on the following ranges of estimated useful lives: Buildings Up to 30 years Machinery & equipment 3-10 years Office equipment 3-10 years Leasehold improvements 7-20 years The Company reviews PP&E for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these assets is determined by comparison of their carrying amount to the future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining economic lives. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. If such assets are not impaired, but their useful lives have decreased, the remaining net book value is depreciated over the revised useful life. The Company has not recorded any material impairment charges related to its PP&E in fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 or fiscal 2018. PP&E is identified as held for sale when it meets the held for sale criteria of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment (ASC 360). Depreciation is not recorded for assets that are classified as held for sale. When an asset meets the held for sale criteria, the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell is reclassified from the relevant PP&E line items and into current assets on the balance sheet, where it remains until it is either sold or it no longer meets the held for sale criteria. If the assets held for sale were carried at fair value, it would be considered a Level 3 fair value measurement, and determined based on the use of appraisals and input from market participants. As further discussed in Note 5, Special Charges , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is planning to transition testing operations currently handled in its Singapore facility to its facilities in Penang, Malaysia and the Philippines and also to its outsourced assembly and test partners. Accordingly, management has entered into an agreement to sell the facility and transfer the related land lease in Singapore in May 2021 and has determined that this facility and certain equipment therein have met the held for sale criteria as specified in ASC 360. No write-down to fair value was required upon this designation, as the fair value of the asset group, less costs to sell, was greater than its carrying value. As shown below, this carrying value was reclassified from PP&E to Prepaid expenses and other current assets as of October 31, 2020: October 31, 2020 Land and buildings $ 36,451 Machinery and equipment 1,468 Office equipment 197 Leasehold improvements 5,744 43,860 Less accumulated depreciation and amortization (21,706) Net property, plant and equipment reclassified to Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 22,154 f. Goodwill and Intangible Assets Goodwill The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment annually, as well as whenever events or changes in circumstances suggest that the carrying value of goodwill may not be recoverable, utilizing either the qualitative or quantitative method. The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which the Company has determined is consistent with its eight identified operating segments, on an annual basis on the first day of the fourth quarter (on or about August 2) or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist or the Company reorganizes its operating segments or reporting units. The Company has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its net book value. When using the qualitative method, the Company considers several factors, including the following: – the amount by which the fair values of each reporting unit exceeded their carrying values as of the date of the most recent quantitative impairment analysis, which indicated there would need to be substantial negative developments in the markets in which these reporting units operate in order for there to be potential impairment; – the carrying values of these reporting units as of the assessment date compared to the previously calculated fair values as of the date of the most recent quantitative impairment analysis; – the Company's current forecasts as compared to the forecasts included in the most recent quantitative impairment analysis; – public information from competitors and other industry information to determine if there were any significant adverse trends in the Company's competitors' businesses; – changes in the value of major U.S. stock indices that could suggest declines in overall market stability that could impact the valuation of the Company's reporting units; – changes in the Company's market capitalization and overall enterprise valuation to determine if there were any significant decreases that could be an indication that the valuation of its reporting units had significantly decreased; and – whether there had been any significant increases to the weighted-average cost of capital rates for each reporting unit, which could materially lower the Company's prior valuation conclusions under a discounted cash flow approach. If the Company elects not to use this option, or it determines that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its net book value, then the Company performs the quantitative goodwill impairment test. The quantitative goodwill impairment test requires an entity to compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. If fair value is determined to be less than carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount of the carrying value that exceeds the amount of the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit. Additionally, the Company considers income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. Management determines the fair values of the reporting units using a weighting of the income and market approaches. Under the income approach, it uses a discounted cash flow methodology, which requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions related to forecasted revenues, gross profit margins, operating income margins, working capital cash flow, perpetual growth rates and long-term discount rates, among others. For the market approach, it uses the guideline public company method. Under this method management utilizes information from comparable publicly traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics as the reporting units, to create valuation multiples that are applied to the operating performance of the reporting unit being tested, in order to obtain its respective fair value. In order to assess the reasonableness of the calculated values, the aggregate fair values of the reporting units are reconciled to the Company's total market capitalization, allowing for a reasonable control premium. In fiscal 2019, management elected to use the qualitative method of assessing goodwill for seven of its eight reporting units and the quantitative method for one reporting unit. During the second quarter of fiscal 2020, the Company performed a quantitative assessment of one of its reporting units due to the macroeconomic climate at the time. In the latest annual impairment evaluation that occurred as of August 2, 2020, the Company used the quantitative method of assessing goodwill for all eight of its reporting units. In all periods presented, management concluded the reporting units' fair values exceeded their carrying amounts as of the assessment dates and no risk of impairment existed. The Company’s next annual impairment assessment will be performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending October 30, 2021 (fiscal 2021) unless indicators arise that would require the Company to reevaluate at an earlier date. The following table presents the changes in goodwill during fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2019: 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of year $ 12,256,880 $ 12,252,604 Goodwill related to other acquisitions (1) 17,839 6,702 Foreign currency translation adjustment 3,706 (2,426) Balance at end of year $ 12,278,425 $ 12,256,880 _______________________________________ (1) Represents goodwill related to other acquisitions that were not material to the Company on either an individual or aggregate basis. Intangible Assets The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of assets may not be recoverable. If required, recoverability of these assets is determined by comparison of their carrying value to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows the assets are expected to generate over their remaining estimated useful lives. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized in earnings equals the amount by which the carrying value of the assets exceeds their estimated fair value determined by either a quoted market price, if any, or a value determined by utilizing a discounted cash flow technique. In-process research and development (IPR&D) assets are considered indefinite-lived intangible assets until completion or abandonment of the associated research and development (R&D) efforts. Upon completion of the projects, the IPR&D assets are reclassified to technology-based intangible assets and amortized over their estimated useful lives. During fiscal 2019, the company recorded $14.2 million of special charges related to the write-off of acquired intellectual property, classified as IPR&D, due to the Company's decision to discontinue certain product development strategies. As of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, the Company’s intangible assets consisted of the following: October 31, 2020 November 2, 2019 Gross Carrying Accumulated Gross Carrying Accumulated Customer relationships $ 4,700,454 $ 1,703,299 $ 4,696,562 $ 1,284,256 Technology-based 1,136,742 518,328 1,145,283 385,618 Trade-name 72,200 37,489 73,417 28,164 Total (1) (2) $ 5,909,396 $ 2,259,116 $ 5,915,262 $ 1,698,038 _______________________________________ (1) Foreign intangible asset carrying amounts are affected by foreign currency translation. (2) Intangible assets, along with the related accumulated amortization, are removed from the table above at the end of the fiscal year they become fully amortized. Amortization expense related to intangible assets was $577.1 million, $570.6 million and $570.5 million in fiscal 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and is recorded in Cost of sales and Amortization of intangibles on the Consolidated Statements of Income. The remaining amortization expense will be recognized over a weighted average life of approximately 3.2 years. The Company expects annual amortization expense for intangible assets as follows: Fiscal Year Amortization Expense 2021 $ 580,984 2022 $ 573,950 2023 $ 547,397 2024 $ 485,496 2025 $ 395,300 g. Grant Accounting Certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries have received grants from governmental agencies. These grants include capital, employment and research and development grants. Capital grants for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment are netted against the related capital expenditures and amortized as a credit to depreciation expense over the estimated useful life of the related asset. Employment grants, which relate to employee hiring and training, and research and development grants are recognized in earnings in the period in which the related expenditures are incurred by the Company. h. Translation of Foreign Currencies The functional currency for certain of the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. Gains and losses resulting from translation of these foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are recorded in AOCI. Transaction gains and losses and re-measurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are included in income currently, including those at the Company’s principal foreign manufacturing operations where the functional currency is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains or losses are included in Other, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. i. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Agreements Foreign Exchange Exposure Management — The Company enters into forward foreign currency exchange contracts to offset certain operational and balance sheet exposures from the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Such exposures result from the portion of the Company’s operations, assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro; other significant exposures include the British Pound, Philippine Peso and the Japanese Yen. Derivative instruments are employed to eliminate or minimize certain foreign currency exposures that can be confidently identified and quantified. These foreign currency exchange contracts are entered into to support transactions made in the normal course of business, and accordingly, are not speculative in nature. The contracts are for periods consistent with the terms of the underlying transactions, generally one year or less. Hedges related to anticipated transactions are matched with the underlying exposures at inception and designated and documented as cash flow hedges. They are qualitatively evaluated for effectiveness on a quarterly basis. The gain or loss on the derivatives are reported as a component of AOCI in shareholders’ equity and reclassified into earnings in the same line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income as the impact of the hedged transaction in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The total notional amounts of forward foreign currency derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments of cash flow hedges denominated in Euros, British Pounds, Philippine Pesos and Japanese Yen as of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019 was $202.7 million and $191.1 million, respectively. The fair values of forward foreign currency derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019 were as follows: Fair Value At Balance Sheet Location October 31, 2020 November 2, 2019 Forward foreign currency exchange contracts Prepaid expenses and other current assets $ 5,550 $ 65 Additionally, the Company enters into forward foreign currency contracts that economically hedge the gains and losses generated by the re-measurement of certain recorded assets and liabilities in a non-functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these undesignated hedges are recognized in other (income) expense immediately as an offset to the changes in the fair value of the asset or liability being hedged. As of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, the total notional amount of these undesignated hedges was $62.7 million and $55.3 million, respectively. The Company estimates that $3.8 million, net of tax, of settlements of forward foreign currency derivative instruments included in OCI will be reclassified into earnings within the next 12 months. All of the Company’s derivative financial instruments are eligible for netting arrangements that allow the Company and its counterparties to net settle amounts owed to each other. Derivative assets and liabilities that can be net settled under these arrangements have been presented in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets on a net basis. As of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, none of the netting arrangements involved collateral. The following table presents the gross amounts of the Company's forward foreign currency exchange contracts and the net amounts recorded in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019: October 31, 2020 November 2, 2019 Gross amount of recognized assets $ 6,114 $ 2,828 Gross amounts of recognized liabilities offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets (687) (2,828) Net assets presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets $ 5,427 $ — Interest Rate Exposure Management — The Company's current and future debt may be subject to interest rate risk. The Company utilizes interest rate derivatives to alter interest rate exposure in an attempt to reduce the effects of the changes in interest rates. During fiscal 2019, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement which locked in the interest rate for up to $1 billion in future debt issuances. The interest rate swap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge. The fair value of this hedge was $214.6 million and $138.8 million as of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, respectively, and is included within accrued liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets. The market risk associated with the Company’s derivative instruments results from currency exchange rate or interest rate movements that are expected to offset the market risk of the underlying transactions, assets and liabilities being hedged. The counterparties to the agreements relating to the Company’s derivative instruments consist of a number of major international financial institutions with high credit ratings. Based on the credit ratings of the Company’s counterparties as of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, nonperformance is not perceived to be a material risk. Furthermore, none of the Company’s derivatives are subject to collateral or other security arrangements and none contain provisions that are dependent on the Company’s credit ratings from any credit rating agency. While the contract or notional amounts of derivative financial instruments provide one measure of the volume of these transactions, they do not represent the amount of the Company’s exposure to credit risk. The amounts potentially subject to credit risk (arising from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts) are generally limited to the amounts, if any, by which the counterparties’ obligations under the contracts exceed the obligations of the Company to the counterparties. As a result of the above considerations, the Company does not consider the risk of counterparty default to be significant. The Company records the fair value of its derivative financial instruments in its Consolidated Financial Statements in other current assets, other assets, accrued liabilities and other non-current liabilities, depending on their net position, regardless of the purpose or intent for holding the derivative contract. Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments are either recognized periodically in earnings or in shareholders’ equity as a component of OCI. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI and reclassified into earnings in the same line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income as the impact of the hedged transaction when the underlying contract matures. Changes in the fair values of derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting are reported in earnings as they occur. For information on the unrealized holding gains (losses) on derivatives included in and reclassified out of AOCI into the Consolidated Statements of Income related to forward foreign currency exchange contracts, see Note 2o, Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Loss) Income, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. j. Fair Value The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. The tables below, set forth by level, presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities, excluding accrued interest components, that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019. The tables exclude cash on hand and assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value. As of October 31, 2020 and November 2, 2019, the Company held $239.6 million and $231.4 million, respectively, of cash and held-to-maturity investments that were excluded from the tables below. October 31, 2020 Fair Value measurement at Quoted Significant Total Assets Cash equivalents: Available-for-sale: Government and institutional money market funds $ 816,253 $ — $ 816,253 Other assets: Forward foreign currency exchange contracts (1) — 5,427 5,427 Deferred compensation investments 52,956 — 52,956 Total assets measured at fair value $ 869,209 $ 5,427 $ 874,636 Liabilities Interest rate derivatives — 214,586 214,586 Total liabilities measured at fair value $ — $ 214,586 $ 214,586 (1) The Company has master netting arrangements by counterparty with respect to derivative contracts. See Note 2i, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Agreements , of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information related to the Company's master netting arrangements.
