(2) Estimated fair value of the 2026 Secured Notes equaled carrying value as of September, 30, 2024, as notes were satisfied and discharged on July 26, 2024.
The carrying values on the balance sheets of the Amended and Restated ABL Facility and the Permian Transmission Term Loan represent their fair value due to their floating interest rates. The fair values of the 2029 Secured Notes, 2026 Unsecured Notes, 2026 Secured Notes and 2025 Senior Notes are based on an average of nonbinding broker quotes as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on their estimated fair value.
Deferred earn-out. The Company’s deferred earn-out liability was settled in full during the quarterly period ended June 30, 2024. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the deferred earn-out liability was $5.1 million, and was estimated using a discounted cash flow technique based on estimated future freshwater deliveries and appropriate discount rates. Given the unobservable nature of the inputs, the fair value measurement of the deferred earn-out is deemed to use Level 3 inputs.
Interest Rate Swaps. In connection with the Permian Transmission Term Loan, the Partnership entered into amortizing interest rate swap agreements. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding notional amounts of interest rate swaps were $120.0 million and $130.4 million, respectively. These interest rate swaps manage exposure to variability in expected cash flows attributable to interest rate risk. Interest rate swaps convert a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. The Company chooses counterparties for its derivative instruments that it believes are creditworthy at the time
the transactions are entered into, and the Company actively monitors the creditworthiness where applicable. However, there can be no assurance that a counterparty will be able to meet its obligations to the Company. The Company presents its derivative positions on a gross basis and does not net the asset and liability positions.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s interest rate swap agreements had a fair value of $8.9 million and $11.9 million, respectively, and are recorded within other noncurrent assets within the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. The derivative instruments’ fair value are determined using level 2 inputs from the fair value hierarchy.
For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a loss on interest rate swaps of $2.6 million and a gain on interest rate swaps of $2.9 million, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the Company recorded a gain on interest rate swaps of $0.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively.
