The Company maintains the HEICO Corporation Leadership Compensation Plan (the "LCP"), which is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The assets of the LCP principally represent cash surrender values of life insurance policies, which derive their fair values from investments in mutual funds that are managed by an insurance company, and are classified within Level 2 and valued using a market approach. Certain other assets of the LCP represent an investment in a money market fund that is classified within Level 1. The assets of the LCP are held within an irrevocable trust and classified within other assets in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The related liabilities of the LCP are included within other long-term liabilities and accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and have an aggregate value of $342.0 million as of January 31, 2025 and $315.0 million as of October 31, 2024. As part of the agreement to acquire 90% of the membership interests of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2025, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $21.1 million in fiscal 2028 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during the three-year period following the acquisition provided the entity meets a certain earnings objective over the same three-year period. As of January 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $11.5 million. As part of the agreement to acquire 96% of the stock of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2022, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of up to $27.4 million in fiscal 2027 based on the earnings of the acquired entity during fiscal years 2025 and 2026. As of January 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $22.7 million. As part of the agreement to acquire 74% of the membership interests of a subsidiary by the FSG in fiscal 2022, the Company may be obligated to pay contingent consideration of $14.1 million in fiscal 2027 should the acquired entity meet a certain earnings objective during the five-year period following the acquisition. As of January 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration was $2.4 million. As part of the agreement to acquire 89.99% of the equity interests of a subsidiary by the ETG in fiscal 2020, the Company paid contingent consideration of CAD $11.7 million, or $8.1 million, in January 2025 as the acquired entity met certain earnings objectives during fiscal 2023 and 2024. The following unobservable inputs were used to derive the estimated fair value of the Company's Level 3 contingent consideration liabilities as of January 31, 2025 ($ in thousands):
|  |  |  | Unobservable |  |  |  | Weighted
Acquisition Date |  | Fair Value |  | Input |  | Range |  | Average (1)
1-31-2025 |  | $11,457 |  | Compound annual revenue growth rate |  | 5% - 22% |  | 17%
|  |  |  | Discount rate |  | 7.6% - 7.6% |  | 7.6%
7-18-2022 |  | 22,697 |  | Compound annual revenue growth rate |  | 5% - 10% |  | 9%
|  |  |  | Discount rate |  | 7.6% - 7.6% |  | 7.6%
3-17-2022 |  | 2,360 |  | Compound annual revenue growth rate |  | 1% - 5% |  | 4%
|  |  |  | Discount rate |  | 8.1% - 8.1% |  | 8.1%
(1) Unobservable inputs were weighted by the relative fair value of the contingent consideration liability. Changes in the Company’s contingent consideration liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended January 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):
|  | Liabilities
Balance as of October 31, 2024 |  | $30,207 |
Contingent consideration related to an acquisition |  | 11,457 |
Payment of contingent consideration |  | (8,144) |
Increase in accrued contingent consideration |  | 3,288 |
Foreign currency transaction adjustments |  | (294) |
Balance as of January 31, 2025 |  | $36,514 |
As of January 31, 2025, the Company's contingent consideration balance is included within other long-term liabilities in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company records changes in accrued contingent consideration and foreign currency transaction adjustments within SG&A expenses in its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value as of January 31, 2025 due to the relatively short maturity of the respective instruments. The carrying amount of borrowings under the Company's credit facility approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate. See Note 5, Long-Term Debt, for the estimated fair value of the Company’s senior unsecured notes.
