The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The fair value estimates of long-term debt are based on quotes from a major financial institution of recently observed trading levels of our Term Loan A debt. The fair value estimates for interest rate swap contracts are estimated by obtaining quotes from major financial institutions with verification by internal valuation models. We engaged an independent, third-party valuation specialist to determine the fair value estimate for acquisition-related contingent consideration payable based on performance, which was measured using a Monte Carlo simulation. As of December 31, 2022, $15.2 million of the carrying amount of contingent consideration liabilities payable, related to final achievement of certain financial and performance milestones through December 31, 2022 for the acquisition of TURF Design, Inc (Turf), was equal to fair value as milestone achievements were known.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data; or

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

 

The fair value measurement of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and reported on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets is summarized below:

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we paid $15.2 million of additional cash consideration, which represented the final achievement of certain financial and performance milestones through December 31, 2022 for the acquisition of Turf. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we paid $8.6 million of additional cash consideration, which represented the final achievement of certain financial and performance milestones through December 31, 2021 for the acquisitions of Moz Designs, Inc. and Turf. The additional cash consideration paid was classified as cash flows from financing activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, up to the acquisition date fair value. The portions of additional cash consideration paid in excess of the acquisition date fair value were classified as cash flows from operating activities in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
