Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items]

Fair Value

Fair Value

The fair value of current financial assets and liabilities, debt service reserves and other deposits approximate their reported carrying amounts. The estimated fair values of our assets and liabilities have been determined using available market information. By virtue of these amounts being estimates and based on hypothetical transactions to sell assets or transfer liabilities, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. For further information on our valuation techniques and policies, see Note 5—Fair Value in Item 8.—Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of our Form 10-K.

The following table presents the fair value, carrying value and cost of our non-derivative instruments at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Further information about the fair value of our derivative instruments can be found in Note 5 – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

These financial instruments are not subject to master netting agreements or collateral requirements and as such are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at their gross fair value, except for Long-term debt, which is presented at amortized carrying value.

We did not have any transfers of the fair values of our financial instruments between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018.

Master Trust Assets

DP&L established a Master Trust to hold assets that could be used for the benefit of employees participating in employee benefit plans and these assets are not used for general operating purposes. On January 1, 2018, AOCI of $1.6 million ($1.0 million net of tax) was reversed to Accumulated Deficit and all future changes to fair value on the Master Trust Assets will be included in income in the period that the changes occur. Changes to fair value were not material for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or 2018. These assets are primarily comprised of open-ended mutual funds, which are valued using the net asset value per unit. These investments are recorded at fair value within Other deferred assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and classified as available for sale.

Long-term debt

The fair value of debt is based on current public market prices for disclosure purposes only. Unrealized gains or losses are not recognized in the financial statements as long-term debt is presented at carrying value, net of unamortized premium or discount and unamortized deferred financing costs in the financial statements. The long-term debt amounts include the current portion payable in the next twelve months and have maturities that range from 2020 to 2061.

The fair value of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 and the respective category within the fair value hierarchy for DPL is as follows:

$ in millions	Fair value at September 30, 2019 (a)								Fair value at December 31, 2018 (a)

(a) Includes credit valuation adjustment

Our financial instruments are valued using the market approach in the following categories:

• Level 1 inputs are used for money market accounts that are considered cash equivalents. The fair value is determined by reference to quoted market prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions.

• Level 2 inputs are used to value derivatives such as interest rate hedge contracts which are valued using a benchmark interest rate. Other Level 2 assets include open-ended mutual funds in the Master Trust, which are valued using the end of day NAV per unit.

• Level 3 inputs such as certain debt balances are considered a Level 3 input because the notes are not publicly traded. Our long-term debt is fair valued for disclosure purposes only.

All of the inputs to the fair value of our derivative instruments are from quoted market prices.

Our long-term debt is fair valued for disclosure purposes only and most of the fair values are determined using quoted market prices in inactive markets. These fair value inputs are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. As the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base note is not publicly traded, fair value is assumed to equal carrying value. These fair value inputs are considered Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as there are no observable inputs. Additional Level 3 disclosures are not presented since our long-term debt is not recorded at fair value.
