Fair Value of Financial Instruments

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Fair value is determined based upon the exit price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants, as determined by either the principal market or the most advantageous market. Inputs used in the valuation techniques to derive fair values are classified based on a three-level hierarchy, as follows:

 

Level 1- Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2- Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived.
Level 3- Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with a remaining maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents and are classified as Level 1. The carrying values of financial instruments, including accounts receivable, cash equivalents, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities are carried at cost, which approximates fair value, and are classified as Level 1. Debt under the Credit Agreement (as defined herein) is classified as Level 2 and is comprised of the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility (both as defined herein). As of September 30, 2022, the carrying amount of the Term Loan Facility was $392.5 million and the carrying amount of the Revolving Credit Facility was $275.0 million, each approximates fair value due to the fact that the interest rate on the debt is based on variable interest rates. The carrying amount of the Notes (as defined herein) was $383.7 million and the estimated fair value of the Notes was $375.1 million at September 30, 2022. The Notes are classified as Level 2.

The Company determines the fair value of financial instruments using quoted market prices whenever available and classifies these investments as Level 1. When quoted market prices are not available for various types of financial instruments (such as derivative instruments), the Company uses standard models with market-based inputs, which take into account the present value of estimated future cash flows and the ability of the Company or the financial counterparty to perform. These investments are classified as Level 2. For cross-currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps, the significant inputs to these models are interest rate curves for discounting future cash flows and are adjusted for credit risk. See additional discussion of the Company’s use of financial instruments including cross-currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps included in Note 16.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, the company recorded an impairment of $3.0 million related to a building expected to be sold upon the closing of its facility in Dessau, Germany. The Company estimated the fair value of the building based on appraisals and sales prices of like properties (Level 2). The net book value of the building is classified as an asset held for sale as part of “Prepaid expenses and Other current assets” in the consolidated balance sheet, as the Company expects it to be sold within the next twelve months.

In December 2020 and May 2022, the Company invested approximately $5.0 million and $4.6 million, respectively, for a minority equity interest in a privately held manufacturing software company, MTEK Industry AB (“MTEK”), over which the Company does not exert significant influence. The equity investments do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share. Therefore, in accordance with ASU 2016-01, the Company elected to measure the investments at their cost less impairment, if any, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. These investments are considered Level 3 assets based on the lack of observable inputs and are classified within other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company monitors its equity investment in MTEK for indicators of impairments or upward adjustments on an ongoing basis. If the Company determines that such an indicator is present, an adjustment will be recorded, which will be measured as the difference between the carrying value and estimated fair value. During the quarter ended June 30, 2022, the Company reassessed the value of its December 2020 investment and recognized a $0.7 million unrealized holding gain as a result of an observable price change from the additional investment made in May 2022. As of September 30, 2022, there were no other indicators that support an adjustment to MTEK’s carrying value.
