Fair Value Measurements

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. For assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis, a three-level hierarchy of measurements based upon observable and unobservable inputs is used to arrive at fair value. The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

•Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

•Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

•Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

As of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the carrying amounts of accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate estimated fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

Cash Equivalents

The Company’s cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid financial instruments that are readily convertible to cash with original maturities of three months or less. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has $82.2 million invested in money market funds and certificates of deposit. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had $28.1 million invested in commercial paper and money market funds. The Company classifies its investments in commercial paper as Level 2 because they are valued using inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded.

Short-term Investments

The Company’s short-term investments consist of high quality, investment grade marketable debt securities and are classified as available-for-sale. The Company classifies its investments in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate debt securities and foreign government bonds as Level 2 because they are valued using inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded.

Earnout to Common Stockholders

The fair value of the earnout shares was estimated by utilizing a Monte-Carlo simulation model. The inputs into the Monte-Carlo pricing model included significant unobservable inputs. The following table provides quantitative information regarding Level 3 fair value measurement inputs:


	September 30, 2023			December 31, 2022
Stock price	$	1.25		$	1.55
Risk-free interest rate	4.9		%	4.2		%
Volatility	92.0		%	92.0		%
Remaining term (in years)	2.79			3.54

The following table presents the changes in the liabilities for Private Placement Warrants and Earnout for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (in thousands):


	Private Placement Warrants		Earnout
Balance as of December 31, 2022	$	1,122	$	10,927
Change in estimated fair value	(561)		(6,029)
Balance as of September 30, 2023	$	561	$	4,898

The Company performs routine procedures such as comparing prices obtained from independent sources to ensure that appropriate fair values are recorded.

Assets Measured on a Nonrecurring Basis

Assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis are remeasured when carrying value exceeds fair value. This includes the evaluation of long-lived assets. Where an indication of an impairment exists, the Company’s estimates of fair value of long-lived assets require the use of significant unobservable inputs, representative of Level 3 fair value measurements, including numerous assumptions with respect to future circumstances that might directly impact the long-lived assets’ operations in the future and are therefore uncertain.

The Company assesses the carrying amount of long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company uses undiscounted future cash flows of the asset or asset group for equipment and intangible assets. The Company assessed the fair value of the relevant long-lived assets using the income approach. Inputs used to calculate the fair value based on the income approach primarily include estimated future cash flows, discounted at a rate that approximates the cost of capital of a market participant.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $4.6 million ($2.8 million of right-of-use asset and $1.8 million of property, plant and equipment, net) as a result of restructuring at Hyzon Europe (See Note 4. Restructuring and Related Charges).
