Fair Value Measurements

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

FAIR VALUE

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value of assets and liabilities, the following hierarchy is used in selecting inputs, with the highest priority given to Level 1, as these are the most transparent or reliable:

•Level 1 assets include investments with quoted prices in active markets that the Company has the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.

•Level 2 assets include investments in U.S. government agency securities, corporate and municipal debt whose estimates are valued based on observable inputs, other than quoted prices.

•Level 3 assets include investments with unobservable inputs, such as third-party valuations, due to little or no market activity.

Financial Instruments Recorded at Fair Value (in millions):

(a) The deferred compensation obligation represents the balance of deferred compensation plus net investment earnings. The deferred compensation plan is funded through a rabbi trust. Trust funds are invested in mutual funds for which unit prices are quoted in active markets and are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.

There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 during the periods presented.

Other Financial Instruments

As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Consolidated Balance Sheets carrying amounts for Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities (excluding the deferred compensation obligation described above), and Payables under Inventory Purchase Agreements approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt are as follows (in millions):


	December 31, 2023					December 31, 2022
	Carrying Value			Estimated Fair Value (a)		Carrying Value			Estimated Fair Value (a)
8.25% Notes	$	95.7	(b)	$	71.7	$	101.8	(b)	$	68.8

(a) Based on bid/ask quotes as of or near the balance sheet date, which are considered Level 2 inputs based on the frequency of trading.

(b) The carrying value of the 8.25% Notes consists of the principal balance of $74.3 million and the sum of current and non current interest payment obligations until maturity. Refer to Note 8, Debt.
