Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The Company’s financial instruments are primarily composed of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, cash collateral deposited with insurance carriers, life insurance assets, equity investments, certain other assets and investments, deferred compensation plan assets and liabilities, accounts payable and other current liabilities, acquisition-related contingent consideration and other liabilities, and debt obligations.
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or the amount paid to transfer a liability, also referred to as the “exit price,” in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value guidance establishes a valuation hierarchy, which requires maximizing the use of observable inputs when measuring fair value. The three levels of inputs that may be used are: (i) Level 1 - quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; (ii) Level 2 - observable market-based inputs or other observable inputs; and (iii) Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data, which are generally determined using valuation models incorporating management estimates of market participant assumptions.
Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration and Other Liabilities
Acquisition-related contingent consideration and other liabilities is composed of earn-outs, which represent the estimated fair value of future amounts payable for businesses, including for mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests (together, “Earn-outs”), that are contingent upon the acquired business achieving certain levels of earnings in the future. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the Company’s Earn-out liabilities totaled $83.0 million and $127.4 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, there were no estimated liabilities related to the mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests, and as of December 31, 2022, the fair value of such liabilities totaled $13.9 million. Earn-out liabilities included within other current liabilities totaled approximately $29.5 million and $37.7 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The fair values of the Company’s Earn-out liabilities are estimated using income approaches such as discounted cash flows or option pricing models, both of which incorporate significant inputs not observable in the market (Level 3 inputs), including management’s estimates and entity-specific assumptions, and are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Key assumptions include the discount rate, which was 14.0% as of September 30, 2023, and probability-weighted projections of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Significant changes in any of these assumptions could result in significantly higher or lower potential Earn-out liabilities. The ultimate payment amounts for the Company’s Earn-out liabilities will be determined based on the actual results achieved by the acquired businesses. As of September 30, 2023, the range of potential undiscounted Earn-out liabilities was estimated to be between $12 million and $98 million; however, there is no maximum payment amount.
Earn-out activity consists primarily of additions from new business combinations; changes in the expected fair value of future payment obligations; and payments. For both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, additions from new business combinations totaled approximately $1.4 million, and for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, such additions totaled approximately $2.1 million and $3.8 million, respectively. There were no measurement period adjustments in either the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2023. There were no measurement period adjustments for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, measurement period adjustments totaled an increase, net, of approximately $1.5 million and related to a net increase in the Company’s Oil and Gas segment, partially offset by a decrease in its Communications segment. For the three month period ended September 30, 2023, fair value adjustments totaled a decrease, net, of approximately $4.9 million and related to net decreases primarily within the Company’s Communications and Oil and Gas segments. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, fair value adjustments totaled a decrease, net, of approximately $7.0 million and related to a net decrease in the Company’s Communications segment, partially offset by a net increase, primarily within the Company’s Clean Energy and Infrastructure and Oil and Gas segments. The decrease in the Communications segment for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 included a reduction of approximately $12.3 million related to mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, fair value adjustments totaled an increase of approximately $0.1 million and a
decrease, net, of approximately $1.2 million, respectively, and for both periods, related primarily to the Company’s Communications segment. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, Earn-out payments totaled approximately $12.7 million and $38.8 million, respectively, which included approximately $1.7 million related to mandatorily redeemable non-controlling interests for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, Earn-out payments totaled approximately $11.0 million and $37.8 million, respectively.
Equity Investments
The Company’s equity investments as of September 30, 2023 include: (i) the Company’s 33% equity interests in Trans-Pecos Pipeline, LLC (“TPP”) and Comanche Trail Pipeline, LLC (“CTP,” and together with TPP, the “Waha JVs”); (ii) a 15% equity interest in Cross Country Infrastructure Services, Inc. (“CCI”); (iii) the Company’s 50% equity interests in each of FM Technology Holdings, LLC, FM USA Holdings, LLC and All Communications Solutions Holdings, LLC, collectively “FM Tech”; (iv) the Company’s interests in certain proportionately consolidated non-controlled contractual joint ventures; and (v) certain other equity investments.
Investment Arrangements. From time to time, the Company may participate in selected investment or strategic arrangements, including equity interests in various business entities and participation in contractual joint ventures, some of which may involve the extension of loans or other types of financing arrangements. The Company has determined that certain of its investment arrangements are variable interest entities (“VIEs”). As of September 30, 2023, except for one individually insignificant VIE, the Company does not have the power to direct the primary activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of its VIEs, nor is it the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, except for the previously mentioned VIE, the Company’s VIEs are not consolidated. The carrying values of the Company’s VIEs totaled approximately $23 million and $24 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which amounts are recorded within other long-term assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Management believes that the Company’s maximum exposure to loss for its VIEs, inclusive of additional financing commitments, approximated $35 million and $37 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Equity investments, other than those accounted for as equity method investments or those that are proportionately consolidated, are measured at fair value if their fair values are readily determinable. Equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values are measured at cost, adjusted for changes from observable market transactions, if any, less impairment, which is referred to as the “adjusted cost basis.” As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the aggregate carrying value of the Company’s equity investments, including equity investments measured on an adjusted cost basis, totaled approximately $325 million and $306 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, equity investments measured on an adjusted cost basis, including the Company’s $15 million investment in CCI, totaled approximately $18 million and $20 million, respectively. Except for one investment for which the Company recorded an impairment loss totaling approximately $3 million in the third quarter of 2023, there were no impairments related to these investments in any of the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2023 or 2022.
The Waha JVs. The Waha JVs own and operate certain pipeline infrastructure that transports natural gas to the Mexican border for export. The Company’s investments in the Waha JVs are accounted for as equity method investments. Equity in earnings related to the Company’s proportionate share of income from the Waha JVs, which is included within the Company’s Other segment, totaled approximately $7.7 million and $23.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and totaled approximately $5.8 million and $20.8 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Distributions of earnings from the Waha JVs, which are included within operating cash flows, totaled approximately $4.7 million and $10.5 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and totaled approximately $4.4 million and $12.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively. Cumulative undistributed earnings from the Waha JVs, which represents cumulative equity in earnings for the Waha JVs less distributions of earnings, totaled $123.3 million as of September 30, 2023. The Company’s net investment in the Waha JVs, which differs from its proportionate share of the net assets of the Waha JVs due primarily to equity method goodwill associated with capitalized investment costs, totaled approximately $280 million and $263 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
The Waha JVs are party to separate non-recourse financing facilities, each of which are secured by pledges of the equity interests in the respective entities, as well as a first lien security interest over virtually all of their assets. The Waha JVs are also party to certain interest rate swaps (the “Waha JV swaps”), which are accounted for as qualifying cash flow hedges. The Company reflects its proportionate share of any unrealized fair market value gains or losses from fluctuations in interest rates associated with these swaps within other comprehensive income or loss, as appropriate. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, the Company’s proportionate share of unrecognized unrealized activity on the Waha JV swaps totaled gains of approximately $4.9 million and $5.4 million, respectively, or $3.7 million and $4.0 million, net of tax, respectively. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, unrecognized unrealized activity related to the Waha JV swaps totaled gains of approximately $13.4 million and $42.0 million, respectively, or $10.1 million and $31.7 million, net of tax, respectively.
Other Investments. The Company has equity interests in certain telecommunications entities that are accounted for as equity method investments. As of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had an aggregate investment of approximately $21 million in these entities, including $18 million for FM Tech as of both periods. The Company made no equity contributions related to its investments in these telecommunications entities in either of the three or nine month periods ended September 30, 2023. For the three month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company made no equity contributions related to its investments in these telecommunications entities, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, equity contributions related to these entities totaled approximately $1.1 million. The Company’s proportionate share of results from these telecommunications entities totaled equity in losses, net, of approximately $0.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2023, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023, totaled equity in earnings, net, of approximately $0.3 million. For the three month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s proportionate share of results from these entities totaled equity in earnings, net, of approximately $0.4 million, and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, totaled equity in losses, net, of approximately $0.5 million.
Certain of these telecommunications entities provide services to MasTec. Expense recognized in connection with services provided by these entities totaled approximately $0.4 million and $1.3 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and totaled approximately $2.6 million and $5.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively.
