Fair Value Measurements and Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurement is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A fair value hierarchy is established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

•Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2—Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company's own assumptions.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


	Fair Value as of July 1, 2023
(In thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Money market funds and time deposits	$	4,541	$	—	$	—	$	4,541

Banker's acceptance drafts (a)	$	—	$	3,550	$	—	$	3,550

Liabilities:

Forward currency-exchange contracts	$	—	$	53	$	—	$	53


	Fair Value as of December 31, 2022
(In thousands)	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Money market funds and time deposits	$	8,351	$	—	$	—	$	8,351
Banker's acceptance drafts (a)	$	—	$	5,729	$	—	$	5,729
2018 Swap Agreement (b)	$	—	$	131	$	—	$	131
Forward currency-exchange contracts	$	—	$	15	$	—	$	15
Liabilities:
Forward currency-exchange contract	$	—	$	54	$	—	$	54

(a)Included in accounts receivable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

(b)The 2018 Swap Agreement matured on June 30, 2023.

The Company uses the market approach technique to value its financial assets and liabilities, and there were no changes in valuation techniques during the first six months of 2023. Banker's acceptance drafts are carried at face value, which approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of the negotiable instrument. The fair values of the forward currency-exchange contracts are based on quoted forward foreign exchange rates at the reporting date. The fair value of the 2018 Swap Agreement was based on USD LIBOR yield curves at the reporting date. The forward currency-exchange contracts and the 2018 Swap Agreement prior to its maturity were hedges of either recorded assets or liabilities or anticipated transactions and represent or represented the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay upon liquidation of the contracts. Changes in values of the underlying hedged assets and liabilities or anticipated transactions are not reflected in the table above.

The carrying value and fair value of debt obligations, excluding lease obligations, are as follows:


	July 1, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
(In thousands)
Debt Obligations:
Revolving credit facility	$	142,562	$	142,562	$	186,131	$	186,131
Senior promissory notes	10,000		9,721		10,000		9,773
Other	2,554		2,554		3,090		3,090
	$	155,116	$	154,837	$	199,221	$	198,994

The carrying value of the Company's revolving credit facility approximates the fair value as the obligation bears variable rates of interest, which adjust frequently, based on prevailing market rates. The fair value of the senior promissory notes is primarily calculated based on quoted market rates plus an applicable margin available to the Company at the respective period end, which represent Level 2 measurements.
