Quantitative Information About Level 3 Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

Information About Uncertainty of Level 3 Fair Value Measurements
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value of the Company’s contingent consideration are the discount rate and forecasted financial information. Significant increases (decreases) in the discount rate would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the forecasted financial information would have resulted in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the present value of expected payments related to the Company’s contingent consideration was $18.4 million and $22.7 million, respectively. The undiscounted value of the payments, assuming that all contingencies are met, would be $22.4 million and $27.1 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Fair Value Measurements on a Non-Recurring Basis
Pursuant to the recognition and measurement guidance for equity investments, equity investments carried under the measurement alternative are remeasured at fair value on a non-recurring basis to reflect observable transactions which occurred during the period. The Company applied the measurement alternative to equity securities with fair values of approximately $164.9 million, which were included in “Other assets” in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. These investments are classified within Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, because their estimated fair value is based on valuation methods using the observable transaction price at the transaction date.
