EBP, Investment, Fair Value and NAV
The following tables set forth the Plan’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2025 and 2024. See Note 2 for the valuation methodology used to measure the fair value of these investments.
There have been no changes to the methodologies used to measure the fair value of each asset from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2025. These assets have been categorized according to the three-level fair value hierarchy established by the FASB, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. Level 1 is based on quoted prices for the asset in active markets. Level 2 is based on inputs that are observable other than quoted market prices in Level 1, such as quoted prices for the asset in inactive markets or quoted prices for similar assets. Level 3 is based on unobservable inputs reflecting the Plan’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. The asset’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Plan has no investments classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.
