Financial Instruments Disclosure [Abstract] |
Financial Instruments | 6. Financial Instruments The Company’s financial instruments include temporary cash investments, restricted cash, accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable, publicly-registered long-term notes and debentures. Temporary cash investments are placed primarily in money market funds, money market demand deposit accounts and Eurodollar time deposit accounts with financial institutions. The Company’s cash equivalents have maturities of less than three months. Due to the short maturity of these investments, they are carried on the consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates fair value. Restricted cash is held in a trust account with a third-party intermediary. Due to the short-term nature of this account, the carrying value of restricted cash approximates its fair value. Accounts receivable are due from a large number of customers, primarily in the construction industry, and are dispersed across wide geographic and economic regions. However, accounts receivable are more heavily concentrated in certain states, namely Texas, North Carolina, Colorado, California, Georgia, Minnesota, Arizona, Iowa, Florida and Indiana. The carrying values of accounts receivable approximate their fair values. Notes receivable, included in Other current assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2024, are promissory notes and are not publicly traded. Management estimates that the carrying value of the notes receivable approximates its fair value. Accounts payable represent amounts owed to suppliers and vendors. The estimated carrying value of accounts payable approximates its fair value due to the short-term nature of the payables. The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s debt were $4.0 billion and $3.6 billion, respectively, at September 30, 2024 and $4.3 billion and $3.9 billion, respectively, at December 31, 2023. The estimated fair value of the Company’s publicly-registered long-term debt was estimated based on Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy using quoted market prices. The estimated fair value of other borrowings approximate their carrying amounts as the interest rates reset periodically.
