The level 3 valuations of the deferred purchase obligations were determined utilizing Monte-Carlo models and take into account our forecasted projections as they relate to the underlying performance of the respective businesses. The Monte-Carlo simulation model applied in assessing the fair value of the deferred purchase obligation associated with the ITRenew Transaction incorporates assumptions as to expected gross profits over the achievement period, including adjustments for the volatility of timing and amount of the associated revenue and costs, as well as discount rates that account for the risk of the arrangement and overall market risks. The Monte-Carlo simulation model applied in assessing the fair value of the deferred purchase obligation associated with the Regency Transaction incorporates assumptions as to expected revenue over the achievement period, including adjustments for volatility and timing, as well as discount rates that account for the risk of the arrangement and overall market risks. Any material change to these assumptions may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value of the related deferred purchase obligation. There were no material items that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 other than (i) those disclosed in Note 2.p. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report and (ii) assets acquired and liabilities assumed through our acquisitions that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (see Note 3), both of which are based on Level 3 inputs.
