New Accounting Pronouncements NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires annual and interim disclosures that are expected to improve reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership adopted ASU 2023-07 and its expanded segment disclosure requirements in compliance with the required adoption guidelines.

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2023-09, “Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as additional information on income taxes paid. The provisions of ASU 2023-09 are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted and can be applied on either a prospective or retroactive basis. Once adopted, the Partnership will include the additional disclosure required by ASU 2023-09 in it's consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurements The Partnership uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing certain assets and liabilities. These inputs are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs represent the Partnership's own market assumptions. Unobservable inputs are used only if observable inputs are unavailable or not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. The two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following hierarchy:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity's own assumptions and are not corroborated by market data.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments The Partnership is required to disclose estimated fair values for its financial instruments. Fair value estimates are set forth below for these financial instruments. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:
Accounts and other receivables, trade and other accounts payable, accrued interest payable, other accrued liabilities, income taxes payable and due from/to affiliates: The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity and highly liquid nature of these instruments, and as such these have been excluded from the table below. There is negligible credit risk associated with these instruments.
Current and non-current portion of long-term debt: The carrying amount of the credit facility approximates fair value due to the debt having a variable interest rate and is in Level 2. The estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes is considered Level 2, as the fair value is based upon quoted prices for identical liabilities in markets that are not active.
