Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), creates a single definition of fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Assets and liabilities adjusted to fair value in the balance sheet are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. Level inputs, as defined by ASC 820, are as follows:

Level input	Input Definition
Level 1	Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.
Level 2	Inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level 3	Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date.

The following table presents the valuation of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value estimates presented herein are based on

information available to management as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. These estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could ultimately realize.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements to manage interest rate risk by converting a portion of its variable rate borrowings to a fixed rate and recognizes these derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The valuation of these derivative instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. To comply with the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the respective counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of the Company’s derivatives held as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 7, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for additional information regarding the Company’s derivative instruments.

Acquisition-Related Contingent Consideration

The Company estimates the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration liabilities by applying the income approach using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. This fair value measurement is based on significant inputs not observed in the market and thus represents a Level 3 measurement. Level 3 instruments are valued based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and reflect the Company’s own assumptions in measuring fair value. Each period, the Company evaluates the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration obligations and records any changes in the fair value of such liabilities in other income/loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. At December 31, 2023, contingent consideration liabilities of $6.9 million was included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. There were no contingent consideration liabilities as of September 30, 2024. A reconciliation of the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities related to acquisitions for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024	Beginning Balance		Payments		Change in Fair Value		Ending Balance
Contingent consideration - Level 3 liabilities	$	6,850	$	(6,850)	$	—	$	—
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023
Contingent consideration - Level 3 liabilities	$	7,500	$	—	$	350	$	7,850

Warrant Liability

The warrant liability represents the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding private warrants. The fair value of the private warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. See Note 10, Stockholders' Equity, for additional discussion of the warrant liability and the material assumptions leveraged for the pricing model.

Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, other than the non-cash goodwill impairment charge discussed in Note 5, Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets, there were no fair value measurements on a non-recurring basis for the Company’s non-financial assets.
