Note 10—Fair Value Measurements

 

We follow fair value measurement authoritative accounting guidance for measuring fair values of assets and liabilities in financial statements. The same valuation techniques have been used consistently for all periods presented. Please see Note 10—Fair Value Measurements in the Annual Report for further discussion.

 

A summary of financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, as of September 30, 2021 and  December 31, 2020, were as follows (in thousands):

Frank's investments associated with its deferred compensation plan consist primarily of the cash surrender value of life insurance policies and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Frank's investments change as a result of contributions, payments, and fluctuations in the market. Frank's liabilities associated with its deferred compensation plan are included in other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Assets and liabilities, measured using significant observable inputs, are reported at fair value based on third-party broker statements, which are derived from the fair value of the funds’ underlying investments. Frank's also has marketable securities in publicly traded equity securities as an indirect result of strategic investments. They are reported at fair value based on the price of the stock and are included in other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

 

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-recurring Basis

 

The Company applies the provisions of the fair value measurement standard to non-recurring, non-financial measurements including business combinations and assets identified as held for sale, as well as impairment related to goodwill and other long-lived assets.

 

Management of the Company performs goodwill impairment assessments for each reporting unit by comparing the estimated fair value of each reporting unit to the reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill. Management estimates the fair value for each reporting unit using a discounted cash flow analysis based on management’s short-term and long-term forecast of operating performance. This analysis includes significant assumptions regarding discount rates, revenue growth rates, expected profitability margins, forecasted capital expenditures and the timing of expected future cash flows based on market conditions. If the estimated fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss is measured and recorded.

 

When conducting an impairment test on long-lived assets, other than goodwill, the estimated future undiscounted cash flows associated with the asset are first compared to the asset’s carrying amount. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset’s carrying amount, the asset’s fair value is then determined by using a discounted cash flow analysis. These analyses are based on estimates such as management’s short-term and long-term forecast of operating performance, including revenue growth rates and expected profitability margins, estimates of the remaining useful life and service potential of the asset, and a discount rate based on our weighted average cost of capital.

 

The impairment assessments discussed above incorporate inherent uncertainties, including projected commodity pricing, supply and demand for Frank's services and future market conditions, which are difficult to predict in volatile economic environments and could result in impairment charges in future periods if actual results materially differ from the estimated assumptions utilized in management's forecasts. If crude oil prices decline significantly and remain at low levels for a sustained period of time, the Company could be required to record an impairment of the carrying value of its long-lived assets in the future which could have a material adverse impact on its operating results. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the discounted cash flow models are deemed to use Level 3 inputs.

 

Other Fair Value Considerations

 

The carrying values on the condensed consolidated balance sheets of Frank's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, trade accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities and lines of credit approximate fair values due to their short maturities.
