Fair Value Measurement

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP established a hierarchy framework to classify the fair value measurement into one of the three levels based on the observability of significant inputs to the measurement.

The following table summarizes our financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


(in thousands)	Classification	Measurement Level	September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Financial assets
Cash deposits(1)	Cash and cash equivalents	Level 1	$	4,857,920	$	3,509,334
Cash and time deposits	Restricted cash	Level 1	$	320,341	$	99,730
Money market trust	Restricted cash	Level 1	$	79,914	$	76,586
Time deposits	Other current assets	Level 1	$	35,321	$	17,754
Cash and time deposits	Long-term restricted cash	Level 1	$	2,435	$	1,624

(1)Cash deposits includes bank deposits, money market trusts and time deposits. The carrying value approximates fair value because maturities are less than three months.
