FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The accounting standards related to fair value measurements define fair value and provide a consistent framework for measuring fair value under the authoritative literature. A fair value hierarchy was established, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels.

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

Level 2 – Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and

Level 3 – Significant unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. Generally, these fair value measures are model-based valuation techniques such as discounted cash flows, and are based on the best information available, including our own data.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

The Company's Level 1 assets consist of short-term, liquid investments with original maturity of three months or less at inception and other short-term investments which are comprised of exchange traded mutual funds, and US treasury bonds.

The Company's Level 2 assets pertain to certain asset-backed securities, collateralized by non-mortgage-related consumer debt, or corporate bonds. These securities are predominantly priced by third parties, either by a pricing vendor or dealer with significant inputs observable in active markets.

The Company's Level 3 instruments consist of contingent consideration. The fair value of the contingent consideration liability assumed in business combinations is recorded as part of the purchase price
consideration of the acquisition and is determined using a discounted cash flow model or probability simulation model. The significant inputs of such models are not always observable in the market, such as forecasted annual revenues, expected volatility and discount rates. The adjustments in the fair value of the contingent consideration payments included an income adjustment of $814 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, which are recorded in fair value adjustment of contingent consideration on the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The change in estimate largely relates to the sales performance of certain acquired businesses discussed in Note 3 - Business Combinations and Asset Acquisitions as compared to the initial best estimate recorded at closing of the related acquisition.
