(1) These instruments carrying value are highly liquid and deemed reasonable estimates of fair value.

(2) Included within cash and cash equivalents of $527.6 million and $679.2 million are $445.9 million and $481.7 million held in short-term money-market deposits as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we earned interest income on short-term money-market deposits of $13.4 million and $17.8 million, respectively.

(3) These instruments are considered to be equal to their estimated fair value because of their near term maturity.

(4) Our debt obligations are recorded at amortized cost. The amounts presented in the table above are gross of the deferred financing costs of $20.7 million and $23.9 million at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

(5) The estimated fair values for both the floating long-term debt and short-term debt are considered to be equal to the carrying value since they bear variable interest rates, which are adjusted on a quarterly basis.  

(6) The estimated fair values of our Unsecured Bonds are based on their quoted market prices as of the balance sheet date.

(7) The fair value of the oil and gas derivative instruments is determined using the estimated discounted cash flows of the additional payments due to us as a result of oil and gas prices moving above the contractual floor price over the remaining term of the LTA. Significant inputs used in the valuation of the oil and gas derivative instruments include the Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rates based on the forex forward curve for the gas derivative instrument and management’s estimate of an appropriate discount rate and the length of time necessary to blend the long-term and short-term oil and gas prices obtained from quoted prices in active markets.

(8) The fair value of certain derivative instruments is the estimated amount that we would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates, foreign exchange rates, closing quoted market prices and our creditworthiness and that of our counterparties. The credit exposure of certain derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a positive value at the end of each period, reduced by the effects of master netting arrangements.
