NOTE 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Accounting standards define fair value based on an exit price model, establish a framework for measuring fair value where our assets and liabilities are required to be carried at fair value and provide for certain disclosures related to the valuation methods used within a valuation hierarchy as established within the accounting standards. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

•Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, or other observable characteristics for the asset or liability, including interest rates, yield curves and credit risks, or inputs that are derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data through correlation.

•Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on our assumptions.

A financial asset or liability’s classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Below is a summary of financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of:


($ in millions)	Quoted Prices in Active Market (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total
July 2, 2021
Deferred compensation liabilities	$	—	$	4.5	$	—	$	4.5
December 31, 2020
Deferred compensation liabilities	$	—	$	3.7	$	—	$	3.7

Certain management employees participate in our nonqualified deferred compensation programs that permit such employees to defer a portion of their compensation, on a pretax basis, until after their termination of employment. All amounts deferred under such plans are unfunded, unsecured obligations and are presented as a component of our compensation and benefits accrual included in Other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Participants may choose among alternative earning rates for the amounts they defer, which are primarily based on investment options within our defined contribution plans for the benefit of U.S. employees (“401(k) Programs”) (except that the earnings rates for amounts contributed unilaterally by the Company are entirely based on changes in the value of our common stock). Changes in the deferred compensation liability under these programs are recognized based on changes in the fair value of the participants’ accounts, which are based on the applicable earnings rates.

Other Investments

The Company holds a minority interest in Tritium Holdings Pty, Ltd (“Tritium”) of $55.8 million, which is recorded in Other assets on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at cost. The Company has elected to use the measurement alternative for equity investments without readily determinable fair values and evaluate this investment for indicators of impairment quarterly. The Company did not identify events or changes in circumstances that may have a significant effect on the fair value of the investment during the three and six months ended July 2, 2021. During the three and six months ended July 2, 2021, we made additional investments in Tritium of $3.0 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Certain assets and liabilities are carried on the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets at cost and are not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis. These assets include finite-lived intangible assets, which are tested when a triggering event occurs, and goodwill and identifiable indefinite-lived intangible assets, which are tested for impairment at least annually as of the first day of the fourth quarter or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset may not be recoverable.

As of July 2, 2021, assets carried on the balance sheet and not remeasured to fair value on a recurring basis were $1.1 billion of goodwill and $234.8 million of identifiable intangible assets, net.

Refer to Note 4. Financing for information related to the fair value of the Company’s borrowings.
