Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

7. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

The Company defines fair value as 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. To increase consistency and comparability in fair value measurements, the Company uses a three-level hierarchy that prioritizes the use of observable inputs. The three levels are:

Level 1 — Quoted market prices for identical instruments in an active market;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs); and

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that reflect management's determination of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. These inputs are developed based on the best information available, including our own data.

The determination of where an asset or liability falls in the hierarchy requires significant judgment.

Disclosure on Financial Instruments

The carrying values of the Company's financial instruments approximate the estimated fair values as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, except for the Company's long-term debt and other financing arrangements. The carrying and fair values of these items are as follows:

	March 31, 2022				December 31, 2021
(dollars in millions)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current portion*	$	1,441.7	$	1,413.4	$	1,443.0	$	1,443.0
Other financing arrangements		52.4		48.5		53.1		51.7

*Excludes finance leases, other financing arrangements and note issuance costs.

In connection with the Merger, the carrying values of the Company’s long-term debt and other financing arrangements include fair value adjustments as of the Merger Date. The fair value of our long-term debt was based on closing or estimated market prices of the Company’s debt at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, which is considered Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the other financing arrangements was calculated using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates current borrowing rates for obligations of similar duration, which is considered Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. As of March 31, 2022, the current borrowing rate was estimated by applying the Company's credit spread to the risk-free rate for a similar duration borrowing.
