Fair Value Measurements

O. Fair Value Measurements

 

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company applies the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy gives

the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

 

Level 1 — Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 — Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3 — Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

 

The Company’s money market funds are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (at least annually) and are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The money market funds are invested substantially in United States Treasury and government securities. The Company does not adjust the quoted market price for such financial instruments. Cash, restricted cash, receivables and payables are carried at their cost, which approximates fair value, because of their short-term nature.

 

At December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company had money market funds with a “Triple A” rated money market fund. The Company considers the “Triple A” rated money market fund to be a large, highly-rated investment-grade institution. As of December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents balance was $26.9 million and $163.3 million, respectively, including money market funds amounting to $5.8 million and $157.6 million, respectively.

 

During the year ended December 25, 2021, the Company determined that it would be unable to use or repurpose certain of its in-service and under construction capital projects to generate future economic benefits. Accordingly, property, plant and equipment with a carrying value of $17.8 million was written down to its estimated fair value of $5.1 million. This $12.7 million charge was included within asset impairments for the year ended December 25, 2021. The estimate of fair value was determined based on the expected salvage value of the assets. Also relating to discontinued capital projects, the Company recognized a provision of $6.3 million for amounts owed to third-parties under non-cancellable purchase orders for components of the capital projects which were determined to have no future economic benefit.
