Note 4—Fair-Value Measurements 

 

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The accounting standard establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs, where available. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs required:

 

Level 1—Observable inputs for identical assets or liabilities, such as quoted prices in active markets;

 

Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

 

Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore they are developed using estimates and assumptions developed by us, which reflect those that a market participant would use.

 

We review the fair value hierarchy classification on a quarterly basis. Changes in the observability of valuation inputs may result in a reclassification of levels for certain securities within the fair value hierarchy. There have been no transfers of assets or liabilities between fair value measurement classifications during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

 

Our fair value hierarchy for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

Cash held in demand deposit accounts of $1.9 million and $9.7 million is excluded from our fair-value hierarchy disclosure as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The carrying amounts reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets for receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current monetary assets and liabilities approximate fair value.

 

All our investments, which are classified as Level 1 assets, are short-term and held in our name. Money market funds are classified as available-for-sale.

 

Our embedded derivative is classified as a Level 3 liability. (For further details see “Note 6 – Debt”).

 

The fair value of our embedded derivative was determined using the Discounted Cash Flow model with the following key assumptions:

Changes in valuation assumptions could have a significant impact on the 2029 Note conversion option derivative. The Company can provide no assurance that changes in yield or in our stock price would not have a significant impact on the derivative in the future. An increase in our stock price volatility could increase the valuation of the 2029 Note conversion option derivative, whereas an increase in interest rates could decrease the valuation of the 2029 Note conversion option derivative. (For further details see “Note 6 — Debt”).
