13.  FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE DISCLOSURES

Factors used in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three categories in accordance with ASC 820 - Fair Value Measurements:

Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices)

Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are based on unobservable inputs

The following tables present assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) by level within the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company had no assets measured at fair value as of December 31, 2020.

Long-term debt excludes finance leases, deferred financing and other and is carried at amortized cost. The outstanding carrying value was $2,387 million and $2,906 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The Company determines fair value of its derivative financial instruments based on internal valuation models, such as discounted cash flow analysis, using management estimates and observable market-based inputs, as applicable. Management estimates include assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and application of appropriate discount rates. Observable market-based inputs are sourced from third parties and include interest rates and yield curves, currency spot and forward rates and credit spreads, as applicable. The Company had no foreign exchange forward contracts at December 31, 2020. The fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts at December 31, 2019 was not material.

The Company determines fair value of long-term debt that is actively traded in the secondary market using external pricing data, including any available quoted market prices and other observable inputs from available market information. For debt that is not actively traded in the secondary market, the fair value is based on the Company’s indicative borrowing cost derived from dealer quotes or discounted cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are all short-term in nature; therefore, the carrying value of these items approximates their fair value.

There were no transfers into or out of each of the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the years ended December 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.
