Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Basis of Presentation, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies As used herein, the terms “Company,” “Rogers,” “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms mean Rogers Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany balances and transactions. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with U.S. GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Organization Our reporting structure is comprised of three operating segments: AES, EMS and Other. Advanced Electronics Solutions Our AES operating segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells circuit materials, ceramic substrate materials, busbars and cooling solutions for applications in EV/HEV, automotive (e.g., ADAS), aerospace and defense (e.g., antenna systems, communication systems and phased array radar systems), renewable energy (e.g., wind and solar), wireless infrastructure (e.g., power amplifiers, antennas and small cells), mass transit, industrial (e.g., variable frequency drives), connected devices (e.g., mobile internet devices and thermal solutions) and wired infrastructure (e.g., computing and internet protocol infrastructure) markets. We believe these materials have characteristics that offer performance and other functional advantages in many market applications, which serve to differentiate our products from other commonly available materials. AES products are sold globally to converters, fabricators, distributors and OEMs. Trade names for our AES products include: curamik®, ROLINX®, RO4000® Series, RO3000® Series, RT/duroid®, CLTE Series®, TMM®, AD Series®, DiClad® Series, CuClad® Series, Kappa®, COOLSPAN®, TC Series®, IsoClad® Series, MAGTREX®, IM Series™, 2929 Bondply, SpeedWave® Prepreg, RO4400™/RO4400T™ Series and Radix™. As of December 31, 2023, our AES operating segment had manufacturing and administrative facilities in Chandler, Arizona; Rogers, Connecticut; Bear, Delaware; Eschenbach, Germany; Evergem, Belgium; Budapest, Hungary; and Suzhou, China. Elastomeric Material Solutions Our EMS operating segment designs, develops, manufactures and sells engineered material solutions for a wide variety of applications and markets. These include polyurethane and silicone materials used in cushioning, gasketing and sealing, and vibration management applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, portable electronics, automotive, mass transit, aerospace and defense, footwear and impact mitigation markets; customized silicones used in flex heater and semiconductor thermal applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, portable electronics, automotive, mass transit, aerospace and defense and medical markets; polytetrafluoroethylene and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene materials used in wire and cable protection, electrical insulation, conduction and shielding, hose and belt protection, vibration management, cushioning, gasketing and sealing, and venting applications for EV/HEV, general industrial, automotive and aerospace and defense markets. We believe these materials have characteristics that offer functional advantages in many market applications, which serve to differentiate our products from other commonly available materials. EMS products are sold globally to converters, fabricators, distributors and OEMs. Trade names for our EMS products include: PORON®, BISCO®, DeWAL®, ARLON®, eSorba®, XRD®, Silicone Engineering and R/bak®. As of December 31, 2023, our EMS operating segment had manufacturing and administrative facilities in Rogers, Connecticut; Woodstock, Connecticut; Bear, Delaware; Carol Stream, Illinois; Narragansett, Rhode Island; Evergem, Belgium; Blackburn, England; Siheung, South Korea; and Suzhou, China. We also own 50% of two unconsolidated joint ventures: (1) RIC, a joint venture established in Japan to design, develop, manufacture and sell PORON® products predominantly for the Japanese market and (2) RIS, a joint venture established in China to design, develop, manufacture and sell PORON® products primarily for RIC customers in various Asian countries. INOAC Corporation owns the remaining 50% of both RIC and RIS. RIC has manufacturing facilities at the INOAC facilities in Nagoya and Mie, Japan, and RIS has manufacturing facilities at Rogers’ facilities in Suzhou, China. Other Our Other operating segment consists of elastomer components for applications in the general industrial market, as well as elastomer floats for level sensing in fuel tanks, motors, and storage tanks applications in the general industrial and automotive markets. We sell our elastomer components under our ENDUR® trade name and our floats under our NITROPHYL® trade name. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Cash and Cash Equivalents Highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash and cash equivalents. These investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value Restricted cash is subject to contractual restrictions and not readily available. Our restricted cash balance recorded in cash and cash equivalents, totaled $2.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, serves as collateral for letters of credit related to our environmental and workers’ compensation liabilities. Foreign Currency All balance sheet accounts of foreign subsidiaries are translated or remeasured at exchange rates in effect at each year end, and income statement items are translated using the average exchange rates for the year. Translation adjustments for those entities that operate under a local currency are recorded directly to a separate component of shareholders’ equity, while remeasurement adjustments for those entities that operate under the parent’s functional currency are recorded in the “Other income (expense), net” line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Currency transaction gains and losses are recorded as income or expense, respectively, in the “Other income (expense), net” line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Such adjustments resulted in gains of $1.1 million, losses of $1.7 million and gains of $3.0 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Accounts Receivable Our accounts receivable, net of allowance for credit losses line item in the consolidated statements of financial position include trade receivables, insurance receivables, tax receivables and other miscellaneous receivables. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our trade receivables balances, net of allowance for credit losses, were $143.2 million and $149.2 million, respectively. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is determined based on a variety of factors that affect the potential collectability of the related receivables, including the length of time receivables are past due, customer credit ratings, financial stability of customers, specific one-time events and past customer history. In addition, in circumstances where we are made aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, a specific allowance is established. The majority of accounts are individually evaluated on a regular basis and appropriate reserves are established as deemed appropriate based on the criteria previously mentioned. The remainder of the reserve is based on our estimates and takes into consideration historical trends, market conditions and the composition of our customer base. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value with costs determined primarily on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. We record allowances for estimated losses due to excess, obsolete and slow-moving inventory that is determined for groups of products based on purchases in the recent past and/or expected future demand, as well as market conditions, design cycles and other economic factors. Abnormal amounts of idle facility expense and waste are not capitalized in inventory. The allocation of fixed production overheads to the inventory cost is based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated on the basis of cost. For financial reporting purposes, provisions for depreciation are calculated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives of the underlying assets:
Property, Plant and Equipment Classification | Estimated Useful Lives
Buildings and improvements | 30-40 years
Machinery and equipment | 5-15 years
Office equipment | 3-10 years
Software Costs We capitalize certain internal and external costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use, principally related to software coding, software configuration, designing system interfaces and installation and testing of the software. We amortize capitalized internal use software costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the software, generally from three to five years. Net capitalized software and development costs were $62.1 million and $58.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The December 31, 2023 and 2022 balances were almost entirely attributable to our planned implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system, for which useful lives will be determined upon implementation/completion of the project. Capitalized software is included within the “Property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation” line item in the consolidated statements of financial position. Leases The Company determines whether an arrangement is a lease at contract inception by establishing if the contract conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant, or equipment for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of all minimum lease payments over the lease term. We use an incremental borrowing rate representative of our ability to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar lease term. Lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have elected the following policy elections on adoption: separating lease and non-lease components, exclusion of short-term leases on the balance sheet and recognition of lease payments for short-term leases in the consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets We have made acquisitions over the years that included the recognition of intangible assets. Intangible assets are classified into three categories: (1) goodwill; (2) other intangible assets with definite lives subject to amortization; and (3) other intangible assets with indefinite lives not subject to amortization. Other intangible assets can include items such as trademarks and trade names, licensed technology, customer relationships and covenants not to compete, among other things. Each definite-lived other intangible asset is amortized over its respective economic useful life using the economic attribution method. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually, and between annual impairment assessments if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired, by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment is necessary. If it is determined, based on qualitative factors, the fair value of the reporting unit may be more likely than not less than its carrying amount or if significant changes to macro-economic factors related to the reporting unit have occurred that could materially impact fair value, a quantitative goodwill impairment assessment would be required. We can elect to forgo the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The application of the quantitative assessment requires significant judgment, including the assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. Determining the fair value is subjective and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including financial projections for net sales, gross margin and operating margin, discount rates, terminal growth rates and future market conditions, among others. When performing the quantitative assessment, we have historically estimated the fair value of our reporting units using an income approach based on the present value of future cash flows through a five-year discounted cash flow analysis. Upon performing the quantitative assessment, if the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment charge is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. We currently have four reporting units with goodwill: RF Solutions, EMS, curamik® and Elastomer Components Division (ECD). Consistent with historical practice, the annual impairment test on these reporting units was performed as of November 30, 2023. In 2023, we elected to utilize a qualitative assessment. There were no impairment charges resulting from our goodwill impairment assessment for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our RF Solutions, EMS, curamik® and ECD reporting units had allocated goodwill of $51.7 million, $239.9 million, $66.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. Indefinite-lived other intangible assets are evaluated for impairment annually, and between annual impairment assessments if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may be impaired, by first performing a qualitative assessment to determine whether a quantitative indefinite-lived other intangible asset impairment assessment is necessary. If it is determined, based on qualitative factors, the fair value of the indefinite-lived other intangible asset may be more likely than not less than its carrying amount or if significant changes to macro-economic factors related to the indefinite-lived other intangible asset have occurred that could materially impact fair value, a quantitative indefinite-lived other intangible asset impairment assessment would be required. We can elect to forgo the qualitative assessment and perform a quantitative assessment. The quantitative assessment compares the fair value of the indefinite-lived other intangible asset with its carrying amount. The application of the quantitative assessment requires significant judgment, including determining the fair value of each indefinite-lived other intangible asset. Fair value is primarily based on income approaches using discounted cash flow models, which have significant assumptions. Such assumptions are subject to variability from year to year and are directly impacted by global market conditions. There were no impairment charges resulting from our indefinite-lived other intangible assets impairment assessment for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our curamik® reporting unit had an indefinite-lived other intangible asset of $4.3 million as of December 31, 2023. Definite-lived other intangible assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The recoverability test involves comparing the estimated sum of the undiscounted cash flows for each definite-lived other intangible asset to its respective carrying value. If a definite-lived other intangible asset’s carrying value is greater than the sum of its undiscounted cash flows, then the definite-lived other intangible asset’s carrying value is compared to its estimated fair value and an impairment charge is recognized for the excess and charged to operations. The application of the recoverability test requires significant judgment, including the identification of the asset group and determination of undiscounted cash flows and fair value of the underlying definite-lived other intangible asset. Determination of undiscounted cash flows requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, including certain financial projections. Fair value is primarily based on income approaches using discounted cash flow models, which have significant assumptions. Such assumptions are subject to variability from year to year and are directly impacted by global market conditions. There were no impairment charges resulting from our definite-lived other intangible assets impairment analysis for the year ended December 31, 2023. Our RF Solutions, EMS and curamik® reporting units had definite-lived other intangible assets of $0.9 million, $115.3 million and $3.4 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2023. The useful life determination for each indefinite-lived other intangible asset is evaluated each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances support an indefinite useful life. The useful life determination for each definite-lived other intangible asset is evaluated each reporting period to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision to the remaining period of amortization. Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits We sponsor one material defined benefit pension plan, the Rogers Corporation Employees’ Pension Plan (the Union Plan), which covers certain union employees, and we sponsor multiple fully insured or self-funded medical plans and fully insured life insurance plans for retirees. The Union Plan was frozen in 2013 so that future benefits no longer accrue. The costs and obligations associated with these plans are dependent upon various actuarial assumptions used in calculating such amounts. These assumptions include discount rates, long-term rates of return on plan assets, mortality rates, and other factors. The assumptions used in these models are determined as follows: (i) the discount rate used is based on the PruCurve bond index; (ii) the long-term rate of return on plan assets is determined based on historical portfolio results, market conditions and our expectations of future returns; and (iii) the mortality rate is based on a mortality projection that estimates current longevity rates and their impact on the long-term plan obligations. We determine these assumptions based on consultation with outside actuaries and investment advisors. Any changes in these assumptions could have a significant impact on our assets and liabilities. We review these assumptions periodically throughout the year and update as necessary. We are required, as an employer, to: (a) recognize in the consolidated statements of financial position an asset for a plan’s overfunded status or a liability for a plan’s underfunded status; (b) measure a plan’s assets and a plan’s obligations that determine our funded status as of the end of the year; and (c) recognize changes in the funded status of a defined benefit plan in the year in which the changes occur and report these changes in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Additionally, actuarial losses (gains) that are not immediately recognized as net periodic pension cost (credit) are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (income) and amortized into net periodic pension cost (credit) in future periods. Investments were stated at fair value as of the dates reported. Securities traded on a national securities exchange were valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. Fixed-income bonds were valued using price evaluations provided by independent pricing services. The fair value of the guaranteed deposit account was determined through discounting expected future investment cash flow from both investment income and repayment of principal for each investment purchased. The estimated fair values of the participation units owned by the plan in pooled separate accounts were based on quoted redemption values and adjusted for management fees and asset charges, as determined by the recordkeeper, on the last business day of the relevant plan year. Pooled separate accounts are accounts established solely for the purpose of investing the assets of one or more plans. Funds in a separate account are not commingled with other Company assets for investment purposes. Environmental and Product Liabilities We accrue for our environmental investigation, remediation, operating and maintenance costs when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. For environmental matters, the most likely cost to be incurred is accrued based on an evaluation of currently available facts with respect to each individual site, including existing technology, current laws and regulations and prior remediation experience. For sites with multiple potential responsible parties (PRPs), we consider our likely proportionate share of the anticipated remediation costs and the ability of the other parties to fulfill their obligations in establishing a provision for those costs. When no amount within a range of estimates is more likely to occur than another, we accrue to the low end of the range and disclose the range. When future liabilities are determined to be reimbursable by insurance coverage, an accrual is recorded for the potential liability and a receivable is recorded for the estimated insurance reimbursement amount. We are exposed to the uncertain nature inherent in such remediation and the possibility that initial estimates will not reflect the final outcome of a matter. We review our asbestos-related projections annually in the fourth quarter of each year unless facts and circumstances materially change during the year, at which time we would analyze these projections. We believe the assumptions made on the potential exposure and expected insurance coverage are reasonable at the present time, but are subject to uncertainty based on the actual future outcome of our asbestos litigation. Our estimates of asbestos-related contingent liabilities and related insurance receivables are based on a claim projection analysis and an insurance usage analysis prepared annually by third parties. The claim projection analysis contains numerous assumptions, including number of claims that might be received, the type and severity of the disease alleged by each claimant, the long latency period associated with asbestos exposure, dismissal rates, average indemnity costs, average defense costs, costs of medical treatment, the financial resources of other companies that are co-defendants in claims, uncertainties surrounding the litigation process from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and from case to case, and the impact of potential changes in legislative or judicial standards, including potential tort reform. Furthermore, any predictions with respect to these assumptions are subject to even greater uncertainty as the projection period lengthens. The insurance usage analysis considers, among other things, applicable deductibles, retentions and policy limits, the solvency and historical payment experience of various insurance carriers, the likelihood of recovery as estimated by external legal counsel and existing insurance settlements. We believe the assumptions used in our models for determining our potential exposure and related insurance coverage are reasonable at the present time, but such assumptions are inherently uncertain. Given the inherent uncertainty in making projections, we plan to re-examine periodically the assumptions used in the projections of current and future asbestos claims, and we will update them, if needed, based on our experience, changes in the assumptions underlying our models, and other relevant factors, such as changes in the tort system. Our accrued asbestos liabilities may not approximate our actual asbestos-related indemnity and defense costs, and our accrued insurance recoveries may not be realized. We believe that it is reasonably possible that we may incur additional charges for our asbestos liabilities and defense costs in the future that could exceed existing reserves and insurance recoveries. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures We account for our investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures, both of which are 50% owned, using the equity method of accounting. Fair Value of Financial Instruments Management believes that the carrying values of financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value based on the maturities of these instruments. The fair value of our borrowings under our revolving credit facility are determined using discounted cash flows based upon our estimated current interest cost for similar type borrowings or current market value, which falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Based on our credit characteristics as of December 31, 2023, borrowings would generally bear interest at SOFR plus 162.5 basis points. As the current borrowings under the Fifth Amended Credit Agreement bear interest at adjusted 1-month SOFR plus 162.5 basis points, we believe the carrying value of our borrowings approximates fair value. For additional information on the calculation of fair value measurements, refer to “Note 3 – Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Transactions We are exposed to certain risks related to our ongoing business operations, and, from time to time, we manage these risk exposures by utilizing derivative financial instruments. We do not utilize derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The primary risks being managed through our use of derivative instruments are foreign currency exchange rate risk and commodity pricing risk (primarily related to copper). To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, derivatives used for hedging purposes must be designated and deemed effective as a hedge of the identified underlying risk exposure at the inception of the contract. Accordingly, changes in fair value of the derivative contract must be highly correlated with changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged item at inception of the hedge and over the life of the hedge contract. For those derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment, if the hedge is highly effective, all changes in the fair value of the derivative hedging instrument are recorded as a component of “Other comprehensive income (loss)” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, with the derivative hedging instrument impacts being reclassified to earnings when the hedged item impacts earnings. For those derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment, any related gains and losses are recognized as a component of “Other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statements of operations. For additional information, refer to “Note 3 – Derivatives and Hedging.” Concentration of Credit and Investment Risk We extend credit on an uncollateralized basis to almost all customers. Concentration of credit and geographic risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the large number and general dispersion of accounts that constitute our customer base. We routinely perform credit evaluations on our customers. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, there were no customers that individually accounted for more than 10% of total accounts receivable. We did not experience significant credit losses on customers’ accounts in 2023, 2022 or 2021. We are subject to credit and market risk by using derivative instruments. If a counterparty fails to fulfill its performance obligations under a derivative contract, our credit risk will equal the fair value of the derivative instrument. We seek to minimize counterparty credit (or repayment) risk by entering into derivative transactions with major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. We invest excess cash principally in investment grade government securities and time deposits. We have established guidelines relative to diversification and maturities in order to maintain safety and liquidity. These guidelines are periodically reviewed and modified to reflect changes in market conditions. Income Taxes We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and in numerous foreign jurisdictions. We account for income taxes following ASC 740, Income Taxes, recognizing deferred tax assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the effect of temporary differences between book and tax basis of recorded assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. We record benefits for uncertain tax positions based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained by the taxing authorities. If this threshold is not met, no tax benefit of the uncertain position is recognized. If the threshold is met, we recognize the largest amount of the tax benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize interest and penalties within the “Income tax expense” line item in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included within the related tax liability line item in the consolidated statements of financial position. Revenue Recognition Recognition of revenue occurs when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the providing entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We recognize revenue when all of the following criteria are met: (1) we have entered into a binding agreement, (2) the performance obligations have been identified, (3) the transaction price to the customer has been determined, (4) the transaction price has been allocated to the performance obligations in the contract, and (5) the performance obligations have been satisfied. The majority of our shipping terms permit us to recognize revenue at point of shipment. Some shipping terms require the goods to be cleared through customs or be received by the customer before title passes. In those instances, revenue is not recognized until either the customer has received the goods or they have passed through customs, depending on the circumstances. Shipping and handling costs are treated as fulfillment costs. Sales tax or VAT are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price. We manufacture some products to customer specifications which are customized to such a degree that it is unlikely that another entity would purchase these products or that we could modify these products for another customer. These products are deemed to have no alternative use to the Company whereby we have an enforceable right to payment evidenced by contractual termination clauses. In accordance with ASC 606, for those circumstances we recognize revenue on an over-time basis. Revenue recognition does not occur until the product meets the definition of “no alternative use” and therefore, items that have not yet reached that point in the production process are not included in the population of items with over-time revenue recognition. As appropriate, we record estimated reductions to revenue for customer returns, allowances, and warranty claims. Provisions for such reductions are made at the time of sale and are typically derived from historical trends and other relevant information. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and all dilutive potential common shares outstanding. Equity Compensation Equity compensation mainly consists of expense related to restricted stock units and deferred stock units. Performance-based restricted stock unit compensation expense is based on achievement of both market and service conditions. The fair value of these awards is determined based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model on the grant date. We recognize compensation expense on all of these awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period with no changes for final projected payout of the awards. Time-based restricted stock unit compensation expense is based on the achievement of only service conditions. The fair value of these awards is determined based on the market value of the underlying stock price on the grant date. We recognize compensation expense on all of these awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Deferred stock units, which are granted to non-management directors, are fully vested on the date of grant and the related shares are generally issued on the 13-month anniversary of the grant date unless the director elects to defer the receipt of those shares. The fair value of these awards is determined based on the market value of the underlying stock price on the grant date. The compensation related to these grants is expensed immediately on the date of grant. Business Combination Purchase Price Allocation The application of the acquisition method requires the allocation of the purchase price amongst the acquisition date fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. Fair values are determined using the income approach, market approach and/or cost approach depending on the nature of the asset or liability being valued and the reliability of available information. The income approach estimates fair value by discounting associated lifetime expected future cash flows to their present value and relies on significant assumptions regarding future revenues, expenses, working capital levels and discount rates. The market approach estimates fair value by analyzing recent actual market transactions for similar assets or liabilities. The cost approach estimates fair value based on the expected cost to replace or reproduce the asset or liability and relies on assumptions regarding the occurrence and extent of any physical, functional and/or economic obsolescence. Restructuring Activities We record charges associated with restructuring activities, such as employee termination benefits, when management approves and commits to a plan of termination, or over the future service period, if any. Other costs associated with restructuring activities may include contract termination costs, including costs related to leased facilities to be abandoned or subleased, and facility and employee relocation costs. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and included in the "Selling, general and administrative expenses” line item of the consolidated statements of operations, amounted to $3.5 million, $3.3 million and $2.7 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Reclassification Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2022 and 2021 financial statements and notes to conform to the 2023 presentation.
