Fair Value Measurements

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2022

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash—Carrying values reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to their highly liquid and short-term nature.

Collateral on derivatives—Carrying values reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.

Long-term debt—The fair value of Convertible Bond Debt, which is traded in the over-the-counter market, is estimated based on quoted prices in markets that are not active on identical instruments. The carrying amount of the Term Facility under the Global Ultraco Debt Facility approximates its fair value, due to its variable interest rates.

Derivative assets and liabilities—The fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, which includes interest rate swaps, FFAs and bunker swaps, is estimated using observable inputs for similar instruments as of the measurement date and standard valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount assuming that participants are motivated, but not compelled to transact.

The carrying value of other financial assets and liabilities (primarily accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued expenses) approximate their fair value due to the relative short-term nature of the instruments.

The Company defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and provides disclosures about fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements is as follows:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or other observable inputs.

•Level 3 – Inputs that are unobservable.

The following tables summarize assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2022 and 2021:

(1)Carrying value represents outstanding principal amount and excludes debt discounts and debt issuance costs.

(2)The fair value of the liabilities is based on the required repayment to the lenders if the debt was discharged in full on December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(3)The fair value of the Convertible Bond Debt is based on pricing data (including observable trade information) sourced from Bloomberg.com.
