FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS	(13) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS We account for certain assets and liabilities at fair value. The hierarchy below lists three levels of fair value based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. We categorize each of our fair value measurements in one of these three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. These levels are: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. We consider active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. We have no Level 1 instruments. Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. See asset impairment discussion below in Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements sections below. Level 3: Measured based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). ARO liabilities use Level 3 non-recurring fair value measures as further discussed in “Note 1 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies”. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed its review of the coal mining facilities and future mining plans. The impairment analysis was based upon the coal mining operating plans of the Company, market driven pricing and cost trends. As part of that analysis, the Company determined the carrying amount of its coal mining long-lived asset group was not recoverable and recorded a non-cash, long-lived asset impairment charge of $215.1 million in 2024. The discounted cash flow model was calculated using projected economics for the Coal Operations assets, using the Company’s mining plan and reserve estimates to be mined and sold at prevailing commodity prices, operating expenses, and production cost levels, which are classified as Level 3 inputs.
