FAIR VALUE

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

Authoritative guidelines require the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:

•Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

•Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

As of December 31, 2023, the fair values of our financial assets and liabilities were categorized as follows:


	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

(1)Investment in PureCycle Technologies ("PCT" or "PureCycle"). See Note 20 - Investment in Equity Securities for discussion of this investment.

(2)Market approach valuation technique based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates.

The carrying amounts of our other current financial instruments such as cash and equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, notes payable and current maturities of long-term obligations approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of the instrument. We consider our long-term debt obligations a Level 2 liability and utilize the market approach valuation technique based on interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of debt with similar terms and maturities. The estimated fair value of our long-term obligations was $0.6 billion and $0.9 billion as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2022, we invested $5.0 million in a convertible note in Enable Injections, Inc. This investment is recorded at fair value and is a Level 3 fair value measurement.

During the second quarter of 2022, we invested $1.0 million in a convertible note in Siklus Refill Pte. Ltd. ("Siklus"). During the fourth quarter of 2022, Siklus repaid $0.4 million of its convertible note. This investment is recorded at fair value and is a Level 3 fair value measurement.

As discussed in Note 19 – Acquisitions, we had a contingent consideration obligation to the selling equity holders of:

–Fusion in connection with the Fusion acquisition based on 2022 cumulative performance targets, and

–Noble in connection with the Noble acquisition based on 2024 cumulative performance targets

We consider these obligations a Level 3 liability and have estimated the aggregate fair value for these contingent consideration arrangements as follows:


	December 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Fusion Acquisition	$	—	$	25,310
Noble Acquisition	—		—

	$	—	$	25,310

Changes in the fair value of these obligations are recorded within selling, research & development and administrative expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Significant changes to the inputs, as noted above, can result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. The following table provides a summary of changes in our Level 3 fair value measurements:






Balance, December 31, 2021	$	33,908

Increase in fair value recorded in earnings	(8,598)

Balance, December 31, 2022	$	25,310


Payments	(25,310)
