(a)Includes fixed income and other investments measured at fair value.

(b)Certain investments that are measured at fair value using net asset value per share (or its equivalent) have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy.

Investment in Technip Energies - The fair value of our investment in Technip Energies is based on quoted prices that we have the ability to access in public markets, see Note 13 for further details.

Equity securities and Available-for-sale Securities - The fair value measurement of our traded securities and Available-for-sale-Securities is based on quoted prices that we have the ability to access in public markets.

Stable value fund and Money market fund - Stable value fund and money market fund are valued at the net asset value of the shares held at the end of the quarter, which is based on the fair value of the underlying investments using information reported by our investment advisor at quarter-end.

Held-to-maturity debt securities - Held-to-maturity debt securities consist of government bonds. These investments are stated at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Assets held for sale - The fair value of our assets held for sale was determined using a market approach that took into consideration the expected sales price. As of December 31, 2020, our G1200 vessel is classified as held for sale. In March 2021, we entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to sell the vessel. We completed the sale and received $48.0 million in cash proceeds during the second quarter of 2021.

Redeemable non-controlling interest - In accordance with the Share Purchase Agreement between Technip-Coflexip UK Holdings Limited (“TUK”) and Island Offshore Management AS (“Island Offshore”) that was executed on March 12, 2018, whereby TUK initially purchased 51% of the shares of TIOS AS, a joint venture between TUK and Island Offshore, TUK acquired the remaining 49% interest in TIOS at a total price of $48.6 million during the third quarter of 2021. As of December 31, 2020, we owned a 51% share in TIOS and the redeemable non-controlling interest was recorded as mezzanine equity at fair value of $43.7 million.

Derivative financial instruments - We use the income approach as the valuation technique to measure the fair value of foreign currency derivative instruments on a recurring basis. This approach calculates the present value of the future cash flow by measuring the change from the derivative contract rate and the published market indicative currency rate, multiplied by the contract notional values. Credit risk is then incorporated by reducing the derivative’s fair value in asset positions by the result of multiplying the present value of the portfolio by the counterparty’s published credit spread. Portfolios in a liability position are adjusted by the same calculation; however, a spread representing our credit spread is used. Our credit spread, and the credit spread of other counterparties not publicly available, are approximated by using the spread of similar companies in the same industry, of similar size and with the same credit rating.

We currently have no credit-risk-related contingent features in our agreements with the financial institutions that would require us to post collateral for derivative positions in a liability position. See Note 24 for further details.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Fair value of long-lived, non-financial assets - Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that carrying amounts of such assets may not be recoverable.

The following summarizes impairments of long-lived assets and related post-impairment fair value for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:


	Year Ended December 31,
	2021				2020
(In millions)	Impairment		Fair Value		Impairment		Fair Value
Long-lived assets(a)	$	49.1	$	25.5	$	190.4	$	452.5

(a)Measuring these asset groups for recoverability required the use of unobservable inputs that require significant judgment. Such judgments include expected future asset utilization while taking into account reduced future capital spending by certain customers in response to market conditions.

Other fair value disclosures

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable, short-term debt, commercial paper, debt associated with our bank borrowings, credit facilities, as well as amounts included in other current assets and other current liabilities that meet the definition of financial instruments, approximate fair value.

Fair value of debt - We use a market approach to determine the fair value of our fixed-rate debt using observable market data, which results in a Level 2 fair value measurement. The estimated fair value of our private placement notes, senior notes and synthetic bonds was $1,706.1 million and $2,199.2 million as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Credit risk - By their nature, financial instruments involve risk, including credit risk, for non-performance by counterparties. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk primarily consist of trade receivables and derivative contracts. We manage the credit risk on financial instruments by transacting only with what management believes are financially secure counterparties, requiring credit approvals and credit limits and monitoring counterparties’ financial condition. Our maximum exposure to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparty is limited to the amount drawn and outstanding on the financial instrument. Allowances for losses on trade receivables are established based on collectability assessments. We mitigate credit risk on derivative contracts by executing contracts only with counterparties that consent to a master netting agreement, which permits the net settlement of gross derivative assets against gross derivative liabilities.
