(1)Our equity investment in TuSimple is classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy as shares of TuSimple’s Class A common stock are traded on an Over the Counter (“OTC”) market beginning February 8, 2024 and the NASDAQ prior to that date. See Note 5, Investments, for additional information.
(2)Marketable securities are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as they are valued based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active. See Note 5, Investments, for additional information.
The fair value of the Company’s unsecured, fixed rate debt was $51.7 million and $145.9 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The carrying value of the Company’s debt was $50.0 million and $145.0 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The fair value of our debt was calculated using a fixed rate debt portfolio with similar terms and maturities, which is based on the borrowing rates available to us in the applicable year. This valuation used Level 2 inputs.
The recorded values of cash, trade accounts receivable, lease receivables, trade accounts payable, and amounts outstanding under revolving credit agreements and the delayed-draw term loan facility approximate fair values.
We measure non-financial assets, such as assets held for sale and other long-lived assets, at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and only when we recognize an impairment loss. The table below sets forth the Company’s non-financial assets that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during 2025.

(1)Our held for sale transportation equipment is evaluated for impairment using market data upon classification as held for sale or as impairment indicators are present.

About Fair Value Disclosures

Fair value disclosures classify all assets and liabilities measured at fair value into a three-level hierarchy: Level 1 (quoted market prices), Level 2 (observable inputs like yield curves), and Level 3 (unobservable inputs requiring management estimates). The proportion of Level 3 assets directly reflects how much of the balance sheet depends on internal models rather than market evidence.

Key signals: a growing Level 3 balance relative to total fair-value assets increases valuation uncertainty and earnings volatility risk. Watch for transfers between levels — assets moving from Level 2 to Level 3 often signal deteriorating market liquidity. Unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 positions flow through earnings or other comprehensive income, so large swings deserve scrutiny. For financial institutions, examine the sensitivity disclosures that show how Level 3 valuations change under alternative assumptions. Compare the fair value of debt against its carrying amount to gauge hidden leverage.
