Fair Value Measurements

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

•Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

•Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that are observable, either directly or indirectly

•Level 3 — unobservable inputs

We perform procedures to verify the reasonableness of pricing information received from third parties for significant assets and liabilities classified as Level 2. The following table delineates assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

(1)Consists of registered money market funds and an equity index fund. These investments, which are trading securities, represent the net asset value at the close of business of the period based on the last trade or official close of an active market or exchange.

(2)Foreign currency and commodity derivatives are estimated using pricing models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows.

We have measured assets and liabilities held for sale and certain other impaired assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. The following summarizes information about financial instruments that are not required to be measured at fair value:

(1)Cash consists of bank deposits. Carrying amounts approximate fair value.

(2)The carrying amounts of these time deposits approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Amortized cost is not materially different from the fair value.

(3)Notes receivable are carried at net realizable value which approximates fair value. Factors considered in determining the fair value include the credit worthiness of the borrower, current interest rates, the term of the note and any collateral pledged as security. Notes receivable are periodically assessed for impairment.

(4)The fair value of the Senior Notes was estimated based on quoted market prices and Level 2 inputs.

(5)Other borrowings represent bank loans and other financing arrangements which mature within one year. The carrying amount of borrowings under these arrangements approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity.
