FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
NOTE 12 FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
We have certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured and disclosed at fair value. Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  We use the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820-10 to measure fair value to prioritize the inputs:
Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity can access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.  This includes pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following tables summarize our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicate the level in the fair value hierarchy in which we classify the fair value measurement.

Short-term Investments Short-term investments include securities classified as trading securities. Both realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in other income (expense) in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The securities are recorded at fair value. Level 1 inputs include U.S. agency issued debt securities with active markets and money market funds. For these items, quoted current market prices are readily available. Level 2 inputs included corporate bonds measured using broker quotations that utilize observable market inputs.
Long-term Investments Our long-term investments include debt and equity securities and assets held in a Non-Qualified Supplemental Savings Plan ("Savings Plan") and are recorded within Investments on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our assets that we hold in the Savings Plan are comprised of mutual funds that are measured using Level 1 inputs. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company made a $33.0 million cornerstone investment in Galileo Holdco 2 Limited Technologies ("Galileo Holdco 2"), part of the group of companies known as Galileo Technologies (“Galileo”) in the form of a convertible note. Galileo specializes in liquification, natural gas compression and re-gasification modular systems and technologies to make the production, transportation, and consumption of natural gas, biomethane, and hydrogen more economically viable. The convertible note bears interest at 5.0 percent per annum with a maturity date of the earlier of April 2027 or an exit event (as defined in the agreement as either an initial public offering or a sale of Galileo). If the conversion option is exercised, the note would convert into common shares of the parent of Galileo Holdco 2.
All of our long-term debt securities, including our investment in Galileo, are classified as available-for-sale and considered a Level 3 input based on the absence of market activity. The following table reconciles changes in the fair value of our Level 3 assets for the periods presented below:

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold our remaining equity securities of approximately 467.5 thousand shares in Schlumberger, Ltd. and received proceeds of approximately $22.0 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded a gain of $2.7 million related to this investment, which included a $0.5 million gain recognized upon the sale of our investment and a $2.2 million gain related to valuation adjustments. This activity is reported in Gain (loss) on investment securities in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. This investment was classified as Level 1 and based on the quoted stock price.
During September 2021, the Company made a $100.0 million cornerstone investment in ADNOC Drilling in advance of its announced IPO, representing 159.7 million shares of ADNOC Drilling, equivalent to a one percent ownership stake and subject to a three-year lockup period. ADNOC Drilling's IPO was completed on October 3, 2021, and its shares are listed and traded on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX). Our investment is classified as a long-term equity investment within Investments in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We have applied the guidance in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, in the initial accounting of the transaction and the subsequent revaluation of the investment balance, concluding that the contractual restriction on the sale of an equity security that is publicly traded is not considered in measuring fair value. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a gain (loss) of $(17.0) million and $47.8 million, respectively, in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of June 30, 2022, this investment is classified as a Level 1 investment based on the quoted stock price on the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we also received dividends in the amount of $3.2 million as a result of this investment.
Contingent Consideration Our financial liabilities measured using Level 3 unobservable inputs primarily consist of potential earnout payments associated with our business acquisitions in fiscal year 2019 and certain consulting services. The contingent considerations are recorded in Accrued Liabilities and Other Noncurrent Liabilities in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets based on the expected timing of milestone achievements. The following table reconciles changes in the fair value of our Level 3 liabilities for the periods presented below:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
We have certain assets that are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. For these nonfinancial assets, measurement at fair value in periods subsequent to their initial recognition is applicable if they are determined to be impaired. These assets generally include property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangible assets, and operating lease right-of-use assets. If measured at fair value in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, these would generally be classified within Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Further details on any changes in valuation of these assets is provided in their respective footnotes.
We also hold various other equity securities without readily determinable fair values. These equity securities are measured at cost, less any impairments, on a nonrecurring basis. As of June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, the aggregate balance of these equity securities was $14.1 million and $2.9 million, respectively. During the three and nine months ended June 30, 2022, we did not record any impairments on these investments.

Geothermal Investments
As of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021 the aggregate balance of our debt and equity security investments in geothermal energy was $17.0 million and $2.7 million, respectively. All of our geothermal investments are considered a Level 3 input based on the absence of market activity. These investments include assets measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis.
Other Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The majority of cash equivalents are invested in highly liquid money-market mutual funds invested primarily in direct or indirect obligations of the U.S. Government and in federally insured deposit accounts. The carrying value of accounts receivables, other current and noncurrent assets, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other liabilities approximated fair value at June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.

The fair values of the current and long-term fixed-rate debt is based on broker quotes as of June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.  The notes are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are not actively traded in markets.
