1.    Organization and nature of business

Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) is a company limited by shares incorporated and existing under the laws of the British Virgin Islands. The Company’s fiscal year ends on the last day of December. The Company has through its wholly-owned Company Arcos Dorados Group B.V., a 100% equity interest in Arcos Dorados B.V. (“ADBV”).

On August 3, 2007 the Company, indirectly through its wholly-owned subsidiary ADBV, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement and Master Franchise Agreements (“MFAs”) with McDonald’s Corporation pursuant to which the Company completed the acquisition of the McDonald’s business in Latin America and the Caribbean (“LatAm business”). Prior to this acquisition, the Company did not carry out operations. The Company’s rights to operate and franchise McDonald’s-branded restaurants in the Territories, and therefore the ability to conduct the business, derive exclusively from the rights granted by McDonald’s Corporation in the MFAs through 2027. The initial term of the MFA for French Guyana, Guadeloupe and Martinique was ten years through August 2, 2017 with an option to extend the agreement for these territories for an additional period of ten years, through August 2, 2027. On July 20, 2016, the Company has exercised its option to extend the MFA for these three territories.

The Company, through ADBV’s wholly-owned and majority owned subsidiaries, operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants in the food service industry. The Company has operations in twenty territories as follows: Argentina, Aruba, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Curaçao, Ecuador, French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas (USVI) and Venezuela. All restaurants are operated either by the Company’s subsidiaries or by independent entrepreneurs under the terms of sub-franchisee agreements (franchisees).


2.    Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) for interim financial information and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company has elected to report its consolidated financial statements in United States dollars (“$” or “US dollars”).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted for purposes of this presentation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated annual financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, which are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the information in the consolidated financial statements.

Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any future periods.

3.    Summary of significant accounting policies

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Company in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign currency matters

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign operating subsidiaries are translated in accordance with guidance in ASC 830 Foreign Currency Matters. Except for the Company’s Venezuelan and Argentinian operations, the functional currencies of the Company’s foreign operating subsidiaries are the local currencies of the countries in which they conduct their operations. Therefore, assets and liabilities are translated into US dollars at the balance sheet date exchange rates, and revenues, expenses and cash flow are translated at average rates prevailing during the periods. Translation adjustments are included in the “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” component of shareholders’ equity. The Company includes foreign currency exchange results related to monetary assets and liabilities transactions, including intercompany transactions, denominated in currencies other than its functional currencies in its statements of income.

Since January 1, 2010 and July 1, 2018, Venezuela and Argentina, respectively, were considered to be highly inflationary, and as such, the financial statements of these subsidiaries are remeasured as if its functional currency was the reporting currency of the immediate parent company (US dollars for Venezuelan operation; Brazilian reais (“BRL”) for Argentinian operation from July 2018 to June 2020 and US dollars since July 2020). As a result, remeasurement gains and losses are recognized in earnings rather than in the cumulative translation adjustment, component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” within shareholders’ equity. In addition, in these territories, there are foreign currency restrictions. Since 2019, in Argentina several measures have been adopted including, among others: (i) limitation to hoarding and consumption in foreign currency for natural persons, (ii) taxes to increase the official exchange rate, (iii) approvals issued by the Central Bank of Argentina to access foreign currency to settle imports of goods or services, principal and interest from financial payables to foreign parties, profits and dividends.

Recent accounting pronouncements

No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective during the period had or is expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

4.    Short-term debt

Revolving credit facility

On December 10, 2021, the Company renewed its committed revolving credit facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A (JPMorgan), for up to $25 million maturing on December 12, 2022. This revolving credit facility permits the Company to borrow money from time to time to cover its working capital needs and for other general corporate purposes. Principal is due upon maturity. However, prepayments are permitted without premium or penalty. Each loan made under this agreement will bear interest annually at SOFR plus 3.10% that will be payable on the date of any prepayment or at maturity.

4.    Short-term debt (Continued)
Revolving credit facility (continued)

The obligations of the Company under the revolving credit facility are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries on an unconditional basis. The revolving credit facility includes customary covenants including, among others, restrictions on the ability of the Company, the guarantors and certain material subsidiaries to: (i) incur liens, (ii) enter into any merger, consolidation or amalgamation; (iii) sell, assign, lease or transfer all or substantially all of the borrower’s or guarantor’s business or property; (iv) enter into transactions with affiliates; (v) engage in substantially different lines of business; (vi) engage in transactions that violate certain anti-terrorism laws. In addition, the Company is required, among others, to comply, as of the last day of each quarter during the agreement, with a consolidated net indebtedness (including interest payable) to EBITDA lower than 3.00x.

As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s net indebtedness (including interest payable) to EBITDA ratio was 1.31 and thus it is currently in compliance with the ratio requirement.

The revolving credit facility provides for customary events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the lender to terminate its obligation to provide loans under the revolving credit facility and/or to declare all sums outstanding under the loan documents immediately due and payable.

No amounts are due at the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements in connection with this revolving credit facility.

On September 27, 2013, the Company issued senior notes for an aggregate principal amount of $473.8 million, which are due in 2023 (the “2023 Notes”). Periodic payments of principal are not required and interest is paid semi-annually commencing on March 27, 2014. The Company incurred $3,313 of financing costs related to the cash issuance of 2023 Notes, which were capitalized as deferred financing costs (“DFC”) and are being amortized over the life of the notes.

On June 1, 2016, the Company launched a cash tender offer to purchase $80,000 of its outstanding 2023 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 98%, which expired on June 28, 2016. The holders who tendered their 2023 Notes prior to June 14, received a redemption price equal to 101%. As a consequence of this transaction, the Company redeemed 16.90% of the outstanding principal. The total payment was $80,800 (including $800 of early tender payment) plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The results related to the cash tender offer and the accelerated amortization of the related DFC were recognized as interest expense within the consolidated statement of income.

Furthermore, on March 16, 2017, the Company launched a second cash tender offer to purchase $80,000 of its outstanding 2023 Notes, at a redemption price equal to 104%, which expired on April 12, 2017. The holders who tendered their 2023 Notes prior to March 29, 2017, received a redemption price equal to 107%. As a consequence of this transaction, the Company redeemed 11.6% of the outstanding principal. The total payment was $48,885 (including $3,187 of early tender payment) plus accrued and unpaid interest. The results related to the second cash tender offer and the accelerated amortization of the related DFC were recognized as interest expense within the consolidated statement of income.

On September 15, 2020 the Company launched an offer to exchange any and all of 2023 Notes for an additional issuance of 2027 Notes that expired on October 13, 2020 (the “expiration date”). The purpose of the exchange offer was to extend the maturity profile of the Company’s long-term debt. The settlement date was on October 15, 2020. Eligible holders who validly tendered their 2023 Notes for exchange prior to September 28, 2020 (the “early participation date”), received $1,055 (expressed as whole number) of 2027 Notes per $1,000 (expressed as whole number) of 2023 Notes at the settlement date. Eligible holders who validly tendered their 2023 Notes for exchange after the early participation date, but on or prior to the expiration date received $1,005 (expressed as whole number) of 2027 Notes per $1,000 (expressed as whole number) of 2023 Notes at the settlement date. In addition, any fractional portion of the 2027 Notes less than $1,000 (expressed as whole number) and accrued and unpaid interest were paid in cash.

As of September 28, 2020, the early participation date, the Company accepted to exchange $126,801 of 2023 Notes, representing 36.43% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2023 Notes. In addition, on October 13, 2020, the Company accepted to exchange $4,675, representing 1.34% of the outstanding principal amount of 2023 Notes. On October 15, 2020, the Company issued $133,668 of 2027 Notes, paid $107.1 for fractional portion and $180.1 for accrued and unpaid interest related to the early participation and $4,686 of 2027 Notes, paid $12.4 for fractional portion and $7.1 for unpaid interest related to the exchange after the early participation date.

From June 2021 to November 2021, the Company repurchased, through open market repurchases, $14,830 of the outstanding principal amount of 2023 Notes at a price equal to 109.45% (equivalent to $16,231) plus accrued and unpaid interests. All repurchased notes were cancelled by November , 2021.

On April 2017, the Company issued senior notes for an aggregate principal amount of $265 million, which are due in 2027 (the “2027 Notes”). The proceeds from this issuance of the 2027 Notes were used to repay the Secured Loan Agreement, unwind the related derivative instruments, pay the principal and premium on the 2023 Notes (in connection with the aforementioned second tender offer) and for general purposes. In addition, on September 11, 2020, the Company issued additional 2027 Notes for an aggregate principal amount of $150 million at a price of 102.250%. The proceeds from the second issuance were used mainly to repay short-term indebtedness. Periodic payments of principal are not required, and interest is paid semi-annually commencing on October 4, 2017. The Company incurred $3,001 of financing costs related to the first issuance of 2027 Notes and $2,000 related to the second issuance, which were capitalized as DFC and are being amortized over the life of the notes

From June 2021 to September 2021, the Company repurchased, through open market repurchases, and cancelled $17,368 of the outstanding principal amount of 2027 Notes at a price equal to 105.74% (equivalent to $18,364) plus accrued and unpaid interests.

The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company at any time at the applicable redemption price set forth in the indenture governing them. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Notes and guarantees (i) are senior unsecured obligations and rank equal in right of payment with all of the Company’s and guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness; (ii) will be effectively junior to all of the Company’s and guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the Company’s assets securing that indebtedness; and (iii) are structurally subordinated to all obligations of the Company’s subsidiaries that are not guarantors.

The indenture governing the Notes limits the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, (i) create certain liens; (ii) enter into sale and lease-back transactions; and (iii) consolidate, merge or transfer assets. In addition, the indenture governing the 2027 Notes, limits the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ ability to: incur in additional indebtedness and make certain restricted payments, including dividends. These covenants are subject to important qualifications and exceptions. The indenture governing the Notes also provides for events of default, which, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, and interest on all of the then-outstanding Notes to be due and payable immediately.

Forward contracts

The Company has entered into various forward contracts in a few territories to hedge a portion of the foreign exchange risk associated with forecasted imports of goods. The effect of the hedges results in fixing the cost of goods acquired (i.e. the net settlement or collection adjusts the cost of inventory paid to the suppliers). As of March 31, 2022, the Company had forward contracts outstanding with a notional amount of $25,350 that mature during 2022.

The Company made net collections (payments) totaling $90 and $(345) during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, as a result of the net settlements of these derivatives.

Call spread

During April 2017, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary entered into two call spread agreements in order to hedge all the variability in a portion (50%) of the principal of certain intercompany loan payables nominated in US dollar. Call spread agreements consist of a combination of two call options: the Company bought an option to buy US dollar at a strike price equal to the BRL exchange rate at the date of the agreements, and wrote an option to buy US dollar at a higher strike price than the previous one. Both pair of options have the same notional amount and are based on the same underlying with the same maturity date.

In May 2021, the Company unwound these agreements before their maturity and collected $18.8 million (BRL99.7 million). Although the hedge relationships were discontinued, the Company expects to maintain the underlying loans until maturity. As a consequence, the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss until May 2021 will be amortized to earnings as the originally hedged cash flows affected earnings.


Coupon-only swap

During April 2017, the Company’s Brazilian subsidiary entered into two coupon-only swap agreements in order to hedge all the variability in a portion (50%) in the interest payable related to the intercompany loan aforementioned.

As a consequence, the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss until May 2021 will be amortized to earnings as the originally hedged cash flows affected earnings.

The Company made net collections of $170 of net interest during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021.

2011 Equity Incentive Plan

In March 2011, the Company adopted its Equity Incentive Plan, or 2011 Plan, to attract and retain the most highly qualified and capable professionals and to promote the success of its business. This Plan is being used to reward certain employees for the success of the Company’s business through an annual award program. The 2011 Plan permits grants of awards relating to class A shares, including awards in the form of shares (also referred to as stock), options, restricted shares, restricted share units, share appreciation rights, performance awards and other share-based awards as will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The maximum number of shares that may be issued under the 2011 Plan is 2.5% of the Company’s total outstanding class A and class B shares immediately following its initial public offering 2011.

The Company made recurring grants of stock options in each of the fiscal years from 2011 to 2014. These grants vest as follows: 40% on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 20% on each of the following three anniversaries. Each stock option granted represents the right to acquire a Class A share at its grant-date fair market value. The exercise right for the stock options is cumulative and, once such right becomes exercisable, it may be exercised in whole or in part during quarterly window periods until the date of termination, which occurs at the seventh anniversary of the grant date. As of March 31, 2022, all stock options previously granted were expired. The Company utilizes a Black-Scholes option-pricing model to estimate the value of stock options at the grant date.

The Company made recurring grants of restricted share units in each of the fiscal years from 2011 to 2019. Each restricted share unit represents the right to receive a Class A share when vested. From 2011 to 2018, these recurring annual awards vest as follows: 40% on the second anniversary of the date of grant and 20% on each of the following three anniversaries. The 2019 award vested on May 10, 2020. However, in the event of death, disability or retirement of the employee, any unvested portion of the annual award will be fully vested. The value of restricted shares units is based on the quoted market price of the Company’s class A shares at the grant date.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in substance, multiple awards. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense related to this award in the amount of $46 and $220 during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included within “General and administrative expenses” in the consolidated statements income (loss).

Phantom RSU

In May 2019, the Company implemented a new long-term incentive plan (called Phantom RSU Award) to reward employees giving them the opportunity to share the success of the Company in the creation of value for its shareholders. In accordance with this plan, the Company granted units (called “Phantom RSU”) to certain employees, pursuant to which they are entitled to receive, when vested, a cash payment equal to the closing price of one Class A share on the respective day in which this benefit is due and the corresponding dividends per-share (if any) formally declared and paid during the service period. However, in the event of death, disability or retirement of the employee, any unvested portion of the annual award will be fully vested.

During 2019, the Company granted awards with different vesting periods: 465,202 units which vest over a requisite service period of five years as follows: 40% at the second anniversary of the date of grant and 20% at each of the following three years and 1,207,455 units which vest 100% at the fifth anniversary from the date of grant.

During 2020, the Company granted 65,440 units that vested 100% at May 2021.

During 2021, the Company granted awards with different vesting periods: 874,294 units which vest 100% at the third anniversary from the grant date; and 44,093 units which vest 100% at April 2022.

The Company recognizes compensation expense related to these benefits on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. As a consequence, when the award includes multiple vesting periods, it is considered as multiple awards.

The total compensation expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 amounts to $3,062 and $715, respectively, which has been recorded under “General and administrative expenses” within the consolidated statement of income (loss). The accrued liability is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until settlement.

8.    Commitments and contingencies

Commitments

The MFAs require the Company and its MF subsidiaries, among other obligations:
 
(i)to agree with McDonald’s Corporation on a restaurant opening plan and a reinvestment plan for each three-year period or such other commitment or period that McDonald’s may approve; and pay an initial franchise fee for each new restaurant opened;
(ii)to pay monthly royalties commencing at a rate of approximately 5% of gross sales of the restaurants, during the first 10 years. This percentage increases to 6% and 7% for the subsequent two five-year periods of the agreement. Nevertheless, at times, McDonald’s Corporation has supported Company´s investment plans by agreeing to provide an incentive (the “growth support”), which result or is expected to result in a lower royalty rate.
(iii)to commit to funding a specified Strategic Marketing Plan; that includes the expenditure of 5% of the Company´s gross sales on Advertising and Promotion activities.
(iv)to own (or lease) directly or indirectly, the fee simple interest in all real property on which any franchised restaurant is located; and
(v)to maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined therein) at least equal to 1.50 as well as a maximum leverage ratio (as defined therein) of 4.25.

If the Company would not be in compliance with these commitments under the MFA, it could be in material breach. A breach of the MFA would give McDonald’s Corporation certain rights, including the ability to acquire all or portions of the business.

Due to the dynamic environment in 2021, after the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company agreed with McDonald’s Corporation on a growth and investment plan for only one year and received a growth support that resulted in a consolidated effective royalty rate of 5.2% of sales of 2021. Additionally, on January 10, 2022, the Company reached an agreement with McDonald’s Corporation on a new growth and investment plan for next years. McDonald’s Corporation has agreed to continue providing the Company with growth support under certain terms and conditions.

9.    Segment and geographic information

The Company is required to report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and interim financial reports issued to shareholders in accordance with ASC 280. Operating segments are components of a company about which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker(s) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. ASC 280 also requires disclosures about the Company’s products and services, geographical areas and major customers.

As discussed in Note 1, the Company through its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries operates and franchises McDonald’s restaurants in the food service industry. The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting. The Company manages its business as distinct geographic segments. As of September 30, 2021, its operations were divided into four geographic divisions, which were as follows: (i) Brazil; (ii) the Caribbean division, consisting of Aruba, Curacao, Colombia, French Guyana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago, the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas and Venezuela; (iii) the North Latin America division (“NOLAD”), consisting of Costa Rica, Mexico and Panama; and (iv) the South Latin America division (“SLAD”), consisting of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Uruguay. Effective October 1, 2021, the Company made certain changes in its internal management structure in order to gain operational agility. As a consequence, the Company reorganized its operation into three geographic divisions, as follows: (i) Brazil, (ii) the North Latin American division, or “NOLAD,” which is now comprised of Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, Martinique, Guadeloupe, French Guyana and the U.S. Virgin Islands of St. Croix and St. Thomas and (iii) the South Latin American division, or “SLAD,” which is now comprised of Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Aruba and Curacao. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 3.

13.    Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

As defined in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The transaction is based on a hypothetical transaction in the principal or most advantageous market considered from the perspective of the market participant that holds the asset or owes the liability. The valuation techniques that can be used under this guidance are the market approach, income approach or cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other information for market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities, such as matrix pricing. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single discounted present amount based on current market conditions about those future amounts, such as present value techniques, option pricing models (e.g. Black-Scholes model) and binomial models (e.g. Monte-Carlo model). The cost approach is based on current replacement cost to replace an asset.

13.    Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments (continued)

The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants who are independent, knowledgeable and willing and able to transact would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company attempts to utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The Company is able to classify fair value balances based on the observance of those inputs. The guidance establishes a formal fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to level 1 measurements and the lowest priority to level 3 measurements, and accordingly, level 1 measurement should be used whenever possible.

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy as defined by the guidance are as follows:

Level 1: Valuations utilizing quoted, unadjusted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Company has the ability to access. This is the most reliable evidence of fair value and does not require a significant degree of judgment. Examples include exchange-traded derivatives and listed equities that are actively traded.

Level 2: Valuations utilizing quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies are included. Models used should primarily be industry-standard models that consider various assumptions and economic measures, such as interest rates, yield curves, time value, volatilities, contract terms, current market prices, credit risk or other market-corroborated inputs. Examples include most over-the-counter derivatives (non-exchange traded), physical commodities, most structured notes and municipal and corporate bonds.

Level 3: Valuations utilizing significant unobservable inputs provides the least objective evidence of fair value and requires a significant degree of judgment. Inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies and should reflect an entity’s assumptions using the best information available about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Examples include certain corporate loans, real-estate and private equity investments and long-dated or complex over-the-counter derivatives. 

Depending on the particular asset or liability, input availability can vary depending on factors such as product type, longevity of a product in the market and other particular transaction conditions. In some cases, certain inputs used to measure fair value may be categorized into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes under this guidance, the lowest level that contains significant inputs used in valuation should be chosen. Pursuant to ASC 820-10-50, the Company has classified its assets and liabilities into these levels depending upon the data relied on to determine the fair values. The fair values of the Company’s derivatives are valued based upon quotes obtained from counterparties to the agreements and are designated as Level 2.

The derivative contracts were valued using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analyses that incorporate observable market parameters, such as interest rate yield curves, option volatilities and currency rates that were observable for substantially the full term of the derivative contracts.

Certain financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

At March 31, 2022, the fair value of the Company’s short term and long-term debt was estimated at $752,440, compared to a carrying amount of $759,577 This fair value was estimated using various pricing models or discounted cash flow analysis that incorporated quoted market prices and is similar to Level 2 within the valuation hierarchy. The carrying amount for notes receivable approximates fair value.

Non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis; that is, the assets and liabilities are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., when there is evidence of impairment). As of March 31, 2022, no material fair value adjustments or fair value measurements were required for non-financial assets or liabilities.
