Schedule of Valuation Techniques Used in Determining Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table describes the valuation techniques used in the determination of the fair values of financial instruments:
Type
Valuation Approach
Cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities
The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these instruments.
Derivatives (included in other current assets, other long-term assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities or other long-term liabilities)

Specific valuation techniques used to value derivative financial instruments include:
- quoted market prices or dealer quotes for similar instruments;
- observable market information as well as valuations determined by external valuators with experience in the financial markets.
Revolving Facility, Term Loan, Mainland China Facilities, and Japan Facility
The fair value is based on the present value of contractual cash flows, discounted at the Company’s current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements or, where applicable, market rates.
Put option liability
The fair value is based on the present value of the amount expected to be paid to the non-controlling shareholder if the put option is exercised. Subsequent changes in the present value of the amount that could be required to be paid at each reporting date are recorded with the statements of income until the put option is exercised or expires.
Contingent considerationThe fair value of the applicable contingent consideration is determined based on the estimated financial outcome and the resulting expected contingent consideration to be paid, discounted using an appropriate rate. Subsequent changes in the fair value is recognized in the statements of income.
Earn-Out included in other long-term liabilities
The fair value is based on a pre-determined percentage of net equity value of Paola Confectii SRL, determined as a multiple of EBITDA and EBITDA margin for the fiscal year ending March 30, 2025, subject to a floor, less net debt adjustments. Subsequent changes in the fair value are recognized in the statements of income.
