Fair Value Measurements

3. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. ASC 820 requires, among other things, the Company’s valuation techniques used to measure fair value to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of December 31, 2021, the following table represents the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the basis for that measurement (in thousands):

	Carrying Value December 31, 2021		Fair Value Measurement December 31, 2021		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Liability (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:
Derivative liabilities (other current liabilities)	$	2,020	$	2,020		—	$	2,020		—

As of December 31, 2020, the following table represents the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the basis for that measurement (in thousands):

	Carrying Value December 31, 2020		Fair Value Measurement December 31, 2020		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Asset / Liability (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Derivative assets (other current assets)	$	2,036	$	2,036		—	$	2,036		—
Liabilities:
Derivative liabilities (other current liabilities)	$	195	$	195		—	$	195		—

Items not reflected in the table above include cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable, and other accounts payable, fair value of which approximate carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of assets and liabilities whose carrying value approximates fair value is determined using Level 2 inputs.

Fair Value of Borrowings

	Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands of U.S. dollars)
Borrowings:
5.0% Exchangeable Senior Notes due March 2021 (Level 2)	$	83,479	$	145,466

On January 17, 2017, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A., closed an offering (the “Exchangeable Notes Offering”) of 5.0% Exchangeable Senior Notes due March 1, 2021 (the “Exchangeable Notes”), of $86,250 thousand, which represents the principal amount, excluding $5,902 thousand of debt issuance costs. In December 2018 and February 2019, MagnaChip Semiconductor S.A. repurchased a principal amount equal to $1,590 thousand and $920 thousand, respectively, of the Exchangeable Notes in the open market. The Company estimates the fair value of the Exchangeable Notes using the market approach, which utilizes quoted market prices that fall under Level 2. For further description of the Exchangeable Notes, see Note 12, “Borrowings.”

Fair Values Measured on a Non-recurring Basis

The Company’s non-financial assets, such as property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets are recorded at fair value upon acquisition and are remeasured at fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.
