Fair Value Measurements

Note 8 — Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued expenses (excluding the contingent consideration discussed below) approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The Company’s financial instruments also include its outstanding variable-rate borrowings (refer to Note 4 – Debt). The Company believes that the carrying amount of its variable-rate borrowings reasonably approximate their fair values because the rates of interest on those borrowings reflect current market rates of interest.

Additionally, the Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis including cash equivalents and its derivative contracts. The fair values of these financial assets and liabilities have been classified as Level 1, 2, or 3 within the fair value hierarchy as described in the accounting standards for fair value measurements:

Level 1 — Fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Fair value based on inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 — Fair value based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and such inputs are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

The following table represents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

(1) Included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(2) The acquisition of FeedbackNow on July 6, 2018 included a contingent consideration arrangement that required up to $4.2 million of consideration to be paid to the sellers based on the financial performance of FeedbackNow during the two-year period subsequent to the closing date. The calculated fair value of the remaining contingent consideration to be paid to the sellers at December 31, 2019 was $2.5 million. As of September 30, 2020, the contingency had been resolved and the remaining contractual payment of $2.7 million was due to the sellers. This amount was paid in October 2020. The amounts as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3) The Company has an interest rate swap contract that hedges the risk of variability from interest payments on its borrowings (refer to Note 4 – Debt and Note 7 – Derivatives and Hedging). The fair value of the interest rate swap is based on valuations prepared by a third-party broker. Those valuations are based on observable interest rates and other observable market data, which the Company considers Level 2 inputs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not transfer assets or liabilities between levels of the fair value hierarchy. Additionally, there have been no changes to the valuation techniques for Level 2 or Level 3 liabilities.

Level 3 activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 consisted entirely of the contingent purchase price related to the acquisition of FeedbackNow. Changes in the fair value of Level 3 contingent consideration for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were as follows (in thousands):

	Contingent
	Consideration
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	(2,511	)
Fair value adjustment of contingent purchase price (1)		(22	)
Foreign exchange effect		(151	)
Balance at September 30, 2020	$	(2,684	)

(1) This amount was recognized as acquisition and integration costs within the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
