Additional Fair Value Information

The total estimated fair value of all outstanding financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis (debt) was approximately $1.6 billion and $1.4 billion at the end of the third quarter of 2022 and at the end of 2021.

The fair value of the senior notes was determined based on observable market prices in less active markets and is categorized accordingly as Level II. The fair values do not indicate the amount we would currently have to pay to extinguish the debt.
