FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE 12: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company measures its cash equivalents and marketable securities, at fair value using the market approach valuation technique. Cash and cash equivalents are classified within Level 1 because these assets are valued using quoted market prices. Marketable securities and foreign currency derivative contracts are classified within level 2 due to these assets being valued by alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

The following table sets forth the Company’s assets that were measured at fair value as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 by level within the fair value hierarchy:

	Fair Value Hierarchy	Fair value measurements as of

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, impairment indicators may subject goodwill and long-lived assets to nonrecurring fair value measurements. The implied fair values of the e-Mobility and Automation Machines reporting units were estimated using the discounted cash flow approach (see Notes 8 and 9). The inputs to these models are considered Level 3.
