Fair Value Measurements

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash equivalents, short and long-term marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, Term Loans, and warrant liabilities. The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount that would be received in an asset sale or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized based on whether or not the inputs are observable in the market and the degree that the inputs are observable. The categorization of financial instruments within the valuation hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is prioritized into three levels (with Level 3 being the lowest) defined as follows:

 

Level 1:

Inputs are based on quoted market prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets at the measurement date.

Level 2:

Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets and/or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active near the measurement date.

Level 3:

Inputs include management’s best estimate of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the instrument’s valuation.

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities were determined based on Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the “Level 2” instruments were based on quoted market prices or model-driven valuations using significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The valuation techniques used to measure the Term Loans and warrant liabilities were determined based on Level 3 inputs not observable in the market and significant to the instruments’ valuations. Refer to “Note 11. Term Loans and Warrant Liabilities”, for additional information regarding the valuation techniques and significant inputs used.

Other than the Term Loans and the warrant liabilities, the Company did not have any financial instruments in the Level 3 category as of June 30, 2026 or September 30, 2025. The Company believes that the recorded values of its other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective relatively short maturity dates or durations. There have been no changes in Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 and no changes in valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the periods ended June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025.

Instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis

Cash equivalents and marketable securities: The following tables present the Company’s cash equivalents and marketable securities’ costs, gross unrealized gains and losses, and fair value by major security type recorded as cash equivalents or short-term or long-term marketable securities as of June 30, 2026, and September 30, 2025. Unrealized gains and losses from the remeasurement of marketable securities are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until recognized in earnings upon the sale or maturity of the security.

The Company manages debt investments as a single portfolio of highly marketable securities that is intended to be available to meet current cash requirements. Historically, the gross unrealized losses related to the Company’s portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities were immaterial, and primarily due to normal market fluctuations and not due to increased credit risk or other valuation concerns. There were no gross unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities as of June 30, 2026, and historically, such gross unrealized losses have been temporary in nature. The Company believes that it is probable the principal and interest will be collected in accordance with the contractual terms. The debt investment portfolio is reviewed at least quarterly, or when there are changes in credit risks or other potential valuation concerns, to identify and evaluate whether an allowance for credit losses or impairment would be necessary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is temporary include the magnitude of the decline in market value, the length of time the market value has been below cost (or adjusted cost), credit quality, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the securities for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.

As of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025, there were no unrealized loss positions related to available-for-sale debt securities.

Instruments measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

Nonfinancial assets: Nonfinancial assets such as goodwill, other intangible assets, long-lived assets held and used, and right-of-use (“ROU”) assets are measured at fair value when there is an indicator of impairment and recorded at fair value only when impairment is recognized or for a business combination.

Goodwill and intangible assets are recognized at fair value during the period in which an acquisition is completed, from updated estimates during the measurement period, or when they are considered to be impaired. These non-recurring fair value measurements, primarily for intangible assets acquired, were based on Level 3 inputs. The Company estimates the fair value of these long-lived assets on a non-recurring basis based on a market valuation approach, engaging independent valuation experts to assist in the determination of fair value. There were no impairments during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The following table presents nonfinancial assets that were subject to fair value measurement during the twelve months ended September 30, 2025. Certain intangible assets, operating lease ROU assets and goodwill are subject to foreign currency translation adjustments.
