Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments: In assessing the fair value of financial instruments, we use methods and assumptions that are based on market conditions and other risk factors existing at the time of assessment. Fair value information for our financial instruments is as follows: Long-Term Debt—the fair values of our notes are estimated using Level 1 inputs and account for the difference between the recorded amount and fair value of our long-term debt. The carrying value of our remaining long-term debt reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value as substantially all of such debt bears interest based on prevailing variable market rates currently available in the countries in which we have borrowings.

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts—During the fourth quarter of 2019, we entered into a foreign currency forward contract to hedge the cash flow exposure of non-functional currency purchases during the construction of the Kemerton plant in Australia. This derivative financial instrument is used to manage risk and is not used for trading or other speculative purposes. This foreign currency forward contract has been designated as a hedging instrument under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. There were no outstanding designated foreign currency forward contracts at June 30, 2022. At December 31, 2021, we had outstanding designated foreign currency forward contracts with notional values totaling the equivalent of $36.5 million. We also enter into foreign currency forward contracts in connection with our risk management strategies that have not been designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, in an attempt to minimize the financial impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. These derivative financial instruments are used to manage risk and are not used for trading or other speculative purposes. The fair values of our non-designated foreign currency forward contracts are estimated based on current settlement values. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had outstanding non-designated foreign currency forward contracts with notional values totaling $452.9 million and $618.1 million, respectively, hedging our exposure to various currencies including the Chilean peso, Euro, Chinese Renminbi, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar and Singapore Dollar. The following table summarizes the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts included in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the net gains (losses) recognized for our foreign currency forward contracts during the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):
| Three Months Ended June 30, |  | Six Months Ended June 30,

(a) Fluctuations in the value of our foreign currency forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments are generally expected to be offset by changes in the value of the underlying exposures being hedged, which are also reported in Other income, net. In addition, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we recorded net cash settlements of $19.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in Other, net, in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Unrealized gains and losses related to the cash flow hedges will be reclassified to earnings over the life of the related assets when settled and the related assets are placed into service. The counterparties to our foreign currency forward contracts are major financial institutions with which we generally have other financial relationships. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. However, we do not anticipate nonperformance by the counterparties.
