8.  Fair Value Measurements

 

The accounting standard for fair value measurements and disclosures establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following three broad categories:

 

·             Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets to which we have access at the date of measurement.

 

·             Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 2 inputs are those in markets for which there are few transactions, the prices are not current, little public information exists or prices vary substantially over time or among brokered market makers.

 

·             Level 3 — Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect our own assumptions regarding how market participants would price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

 

The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):

On a quarterly basis, our interest rate swaps are recorded at fair value utilizing a combination of the market approach and income approach to estimate fair value based on forward LIBOR curves.

 

The following table presents our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, with pricing levels as of the date of valuation (in thousands):

Our estimate of the impaired long-lived assets’ fair value was primarily based on the expected net sale proceeds compared to other fleet units we recently sold, as well as our review of other units recently offered for sale by third parties, or the estimated component value of the equipment we plan to use. Because we expected the disposition of the fleet assets we impaired during the second quarter of 2012 to take more than twelve months, we discounted the expected proceeds, net of selling and other carrying costs, using a weighted average disposal period of four years and a discount rate of 10.4%. Impaired long-lived assets in the table above also includes our estimate of the fair value of the impaired assets of the entity that owned our fabrication facility in the United Kingdom, which was based on the net transaction value of the agreement entered into subsequent to the balance sheet date. Our estimate of the fair value of the impaired assets that are classified as discontinued operations was based on our expected proceeds, net of selling costs of the agreement entered into subsequent to the balance sheet date.
