| Fair Value Measurements | 6. Fair Value Measurements In accordance with FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”), the Company measures its cash and cash equivalents and investments at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company also measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis when applying acquisition accounting. ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable: The carrying amount of these assets approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents include marketable securities with an original maturity within 90 days. Available-for-sale securities: The Company classifies marketable securities and other highly liquid investments, with a maturity of greater than three months and that can be readily purchased or sold using established markets, as available-for-sale. These investments are reported at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and unrealized gains and losses are reported as a component of shareholders’ equity. Stock Appreciation Rights liability: The Company measures its cash-settled SARs at fair value on a recurring basis using a Black Scholes option-pricing model. The liability, classified as Level 2 within the fair-value hierarchy, is reported at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets, and changes in fair value are recognized as compensation expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss in the period of remeasurement. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy described above, the following table shows the fair value of our investments as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
Unrealized gains on our investments have not been recorded into income as we do not intend to sell nor is it more likely than not that we will be required to sell these investments prior to recovery of their amortized cost basis. The decline in fair value of our debt securities is largely due to the rising interest rate environment driven by current market conditions that have resulted in higher credit spreads. The credit ratings associated with our debt securities are mostly unchanged, are highly rated, and the debtors continue to make timely principal and interest payments. As a result, there were no credit or non-credit impairment charges recorded through December 31, 2025. |
