FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Recurring fair value measurements
The carrying amounts of our financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other, accounts payable, and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, approximate fair value because of their short maturities.
We follow a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of "observable inputs" and minimize the use of "unobservable inputs." The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
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 markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

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 table below segregates all assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (which is measured at least annually) into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date.

We did not have any transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements, nor did we have any transfers into or out of Level 3 during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.
In connection with the Nordeus acquisition we completed on June 1, 2021, our consideration included a contingent earn-out consideration arrangement that requires us to pay an aggregate of $153.0 in cash if Nordeus achieves certain performance measures over the 12- and 24-month periods following the closing. We recorded $61.1 as the initial fair value of contingent earn-out consideration. The fair value was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which included significant unobservable Level 3 inputs, such as projected financial performance over the earn-out period along with estimates for market volatility and the discount rate applicable to potential cash payouts.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, March 31, 2023, and March 31, 2022, we recognized General and administrative expense of $4.5, $26.5, and $48.0, respectively, within our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the increase in fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration liability associated with the Nordeus acquisition, which increased the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the second earn-out period to $69.5. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, we paid $69.5 related to the second earn-out period. During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, we paid $70.1 related to the first earn-out period.
In connection with our acquisition of Popcore on November 16, 2022, consideration included a contingent earn-out consideration arrangement that requires us to pay an aggregate of $105.0 in cash if Popcore achieves certain performance measures over each of the three calendar years following the closing. We recorded $23.3 as the initial fair value of contingent earn-out consideration. The fair value was estimated using a Monte-Carlo simulation model, which included significant
unobservable Level 3 inputs, such as projected financial performance over the earn-out period along with estimates for market volatility and the discount rate applicable to potential cash payouts.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 we recognized General and administrative expense of $(12.9) and $26.5, respectively, within our Consolidated Statements of Operations for the change in fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration liability associated with the Popcore acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the earn-out period is $12.7, with $12.0 and $0.7 being recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024. The change resulted from a lower probability of Popcore achieving certain performance measures in the remaining two 12-month periods.
The remaining contingent earn-out consideration liability of $0.4 recorded within Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024, relates to immaterial earn-out arrangements from Zynga's historical acquisitions. For these acquisitions, we estimated the acquisition date fair value of the contingent consideration obligations using a discounted cash flow model.
Nonrecurring fair value measurements
We hold equity investments in certain unconsolidated entities without a readily determinable fair value. These strategic investments represent less than a 20% ownership interest in each of the privately-held affiliates, and we do not maintain significant influence over or control of the entities. We have elected the practical expedient in Topic 321, Investments-Equity Securities, to measure these investments at cost less any impairment, adjusted for observable price changes, if any. Based on these considerations, we estimate that the carrying value of the acquired shares represents the fair value of the investment. At March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, we held $8.0 and $8.0, respectively, of such investments in Other assets within our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
