Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities |
(24) | Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
U.S. GAAP guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| • | Level 1 measurements—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.
| • | Level 2 measurements—Quoted prices in markets that are not active or financial instruments for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.
| • | Level 3 measurements—Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
As required by U.S. GAAP guidance, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy financial assets and liabilities accounted for at fair value under U.S. GAAP guidance at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 (in thousands):

There were no transfers among level 1, 2 and level 3 for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the year ended December 31, 2017. Derivative instruments are outstanding for short periods of time (generally less than 60 days). A roll forward of derivative instruments and contingent consideration (level 3) that require valuation based upon significant unobservable inputs is presented below (in thousands):

Level 3 assets and liabilities |  | Assets |  |  | Liabilities |  |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs

Contingent consideration |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 23,711 |  |  | Discount rate—6.43% weighted average rate(a)

(a) | Newmark’s estimate of contingent consideration as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was based on the acquired business’ projected future financial performance, including revenues.
Valuation Processes - Level 3 Measurements Both the rate lock commitments to borrowers and the forward sale contracts to investors are derivatives and, accordingly, are marked to fair value through Newmark’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of Newmark’s rate lock commitments to borrowers and loans held for sale and the related input levels includes, as applicable:
| • | The assumed gain/loss of the expected loan sale to the investor, net of employee benefits;
| • | The expected net future cash flows associate with servicing the loan;
| • | The effects of interest rate movements between the date of the rate lock and the balance sheet date; and
| • | The nonperformance risk of both the counterparty and Newmark.
The fair value of Newmark’s forward sales contracts to investors considers effects of interest rate movements between the trade date and the balance sheet date. The market price changes are multiplied by the notional amount of the forward sales contracts to measure the fair value. The fair value of Newmark’s rate lock commitments and forward sale contracts is adjusted to reflect the risk that the agreement will not be fulfilled. Newmark’s exposure to nonperformance in rate lock and forward sale contracts is represented by the contractual amount of those instruments. Given the credit quality of Newmark’s counterparties, the short duration of rate lock commitments and forward sales contracts, and Newmark’s historical experience with the agreements, management does not believe the risk of nonperformance by Newmark’s counterparties to be significant. Sensitivity Analysis - Level 3 Measurements As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the present value of expected payments related to Newmark’s contingent consideration was $26.7 million and $23.7 million, respectively (Note 28- Commitments and Contingencies). Valuations for contingent consideration are conducted by Newmark. Each reporting period, Newmark updates unobservable inputs. Newmark has a formal process to review changes in fair value for satisfactory explanation.
