10. FAIR VALUE
The fair values of financial instruments were as follows (dollars in millions):
The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. We elected the fair value option to account for our equity method investment in Venator post deconsolidation. The fair value of our remaining investment in Venator reported in investment in unconsolidated affiliates is obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). See “Note 4. Discontinued Operations and Business Dispositions—Separation and Deconsolidation of Venator.” The fair values of our non-qualified employee benefit plan investments are obtained through market observable pricing using prevailing market prices (Level 1). The estimated fair values of our long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for the identical liability when traded in an active market (Level 1).
The fair value estimates presented herein are based on pertinent information available to management as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since June 30, 2020, and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, there were no instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), and there were no gains or losses (realized and unrealized) included in earnings for instruments categorized as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. |
