Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The interest rate swap agreement we entered into in connection with our Term Note, as disclosed in “Note (2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies; (m) Interest Rate Swap Agreement” and “Note (9) Debt,” is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. The contingent consideration liability on our Consolidated Balance Sheet is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs.
Our contingent consideration liability is a result of our acquisition of Acculogic on December 21, 2021, and represents the estimated fair value of the additional cash consideration payable that is contingent upon sales to Electric Vehicle (“EV”) or battery customers. We may pay the seller up to an additional CAD $5.0 million in the five-year period from 2022 through 2026. The additional payments will be based on a percent of net invoices for which payments have been received on systems sold to EV or battery customers in excess of CAD $2.5 million per year in each of the five years. The maximum payment is capped at CAD $5.0 million, which equates to approximately $3.7 million at March 31, 2026. There were no payments due to the seller for the years ended December 31, 2022 or 2023. We paid the contractually due amount for 2024 during the first quarter of 2025 and the contractually due amount for 2025 during the first quarter of 2026. To estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date, an option-based income approach using a Monte Carlo simulation model was utilized due to the non-linear payout structure. As of the acquisition date, this resulted in an estimated fair value of $1.4 million. This amount was recorded as a contingent consideration liability and included in the purchase price as of the acquisition date. We reassess the estimated fair value of this liability annually using this same approach, or more frequently, if we determine that there have been material changes to the assumptions used in the calculation of the probable payout.
