__________________________________ (1) Investment deposit accounts are short-term in nature, and the value is based on principal plus interest. As of August 31, 2025, the Company had three Level 3 commodity derivatives with the same counterparty. The fair value of the Level 3 commodity derivatives is estimated using internally developed discounted cash flow models that rely on significant unobservable inputs. The Company forecasts future energy rates using a range of historical prices (the "floating rate"), which is the only significant unobservable input used in the Company's discounted cash flow models. Significant variations in the floating rate could materially impact the fair value measurement. The following table summarizes the range of floating rates used to measure the fair value of the Level 3 commodity derivatives at August 31, 2025 and 2024, which are applied uniformly across each of the Company's Level 3 commodity derivatives:
|  | Floating Rate (PLN)
|  | Low |  | High |  | Average
August 31, 2025 |  | 346 |  |  | 563 |  |  | 436 |
August 31, 2024 |  | 324 |  |  | 510 |  |  | 405 |
Fair Value, Net Derivative Asset (Liability) Measured on Recurring Basis, Unobservable Input Reconciliation | Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of the Level 3 commodity derivatives recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Amounts are shown before income taxes. The fluctuation in energy rates over time may cause volatility in the fair value estimate and was the primary reason for unrealized gains and losses in OCI in 2025, 2024 and 2023.

__________________________________ (1) Unrealized holding gains (losses), net of foreign currency translation, less amounts reclassified, are included in net unrealized holding gain (loss) on derivatives in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. (2) Realized gains included in net earnings are recorded in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of earnings.
