5.   Fair Value Measurements

 

ASC 820-10, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring basis or nonrecurring basis. ASC 820-10 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the pronouncement establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: (Level 1) observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; (Level 2) inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and (Level 3) unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

 

The Company believes the carrying amount of its financial instruments (cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, short-term borrowings, and revolving facility borrowings), excluding Term Loan borrowings, approximates the fair value of these instruments based on their short-term nature. The fair value of the Term Loan B borrowing, which has a net carrying value of $525,361, was $528,675 (Level 2) on  March 31, 2024. The fair value of the Term Loan A borrowing, which has a net carrying value of $738,246, was $736,922 (Level 2) on March 31, 2024. These fair values were calculated based on independent valuations which contain inputs and significant value drivers that are observable. The fair value of the Revolving Facility approximates the carrying value. 

 

For the fair value of the derivatives measured on a recurring basis, refer to the fair value table in Note 4, “Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The fair value of our interest rate swaps and commodity and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified as Level 2. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of these derivative contracts, all of which have counterparties with high credit ratings, were based on quoted market prices or model driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The fair value of the derivative contracts above considers the Company’s credit risk in accordance with ASC 820-10. The fair value of the Wallbox N.V. stock warrants is classified as Level 3. The fair value of these contracts is measured using a Black Scholes option pricing model, with significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data as well as internal estimates, specifically the time period until exercise. The warrants expire at the earlier of when the price per share equals or exceeds $6.00 or in 2029. The time period until exercise assumption has a significant impact on the fair value of the warrants.

 

Equity Securities

 

Equity securities consist of shares of Wallbox N.V. Class A common stock. The Company owned 9,836,066 Wallbox Shares as of March 31, 2024. The Wallbox Shares are classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy and are recognized at fair value using the most recent closing price of Wallbox N.V. common stock quoted on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"). The Wallbox Shares are included in operating lease and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Wallbox Shares was $13,967 and $17,213 as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

 

Contingent Consideration

 

Certain of the Company's business combinations involve potential payment of future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones. As part of purchase accounting, a liability is recorded for the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration on the acquisition date. The fair value of the contingent consideration is remeasured at each reporting period, and the change in fair value is recognized within general and administrative expenses in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The fair value measurement of contingent consideration is typically categorized as a Level 3 liability, as the measurement amount is based primarily on significant inputs that are not observable in the market. 

 

The fair value of contingent consideration for Chilicon and Pramac as of March 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, was $39,082 and $38,937, respectively, and was reported in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The contingent consideration for Chilicon extends through December 31, 2028, while the contingent consideration for Pramac extends through December 31, 2025.
