Fair Value

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2023

Our accounting policy for the fair value measurement of cash equivalents and embedded Escalation Protection Plan (“EPP”) derivatives is described in Part II, Item 8 Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The tables below set forth, by level, our financial assets that are accounted for at fair value for the respective periods. The table does not include assets and liabilities that are measured at historical cost or any basis other than fair value (in thousands):

Money Market Funds - Money market funds are valued using quoted market prices for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 financial assets.

Embedded Escalation Protection Plan Derivative Liability in Sales Contracts - We estimate the fair value of the embedded EPP derivatives in certain sales contracts using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which considers various potential electricity price curves over the sales contracts’ terms. We use historical grid prices and available forecasts of future electricity prices to estimate future electricity prices. We have classified these derivatives as a Level 3 financial liability.

The changes in the Level 3 financial liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 were as follows (in thousands):


	Embedded EPP Derivative Liability








Liabilities at December 31, 2022	$	5,895
EPP liability settlement	(3,160)
Changes in fair value	1,099
Liabilities at June 30, 2023	$	3,834

In June 2023, per an EPP agreement with one of our customers, we paid $3.2 million, which was recorded as a reduction to our balance of embedded EPP derivative liability as of June 30, 2023.

Financial Assets and Liabilities and Other Items Not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Debt Instruments - The senior secured notes and convertible notes are based on rates currently offered for instruments with similar maturities and terms (Level 2). The following table presents the estimated fair values and carrying values of debt instruments (in thousands):
