The level 3 valuation of the deferred purchase obligation was determined utilizing a Monte-Carlo model which takes into account our forecasted projections as they relate to the underlying performance of the business. The Monte-Carlo simulation model 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 deferred purchase obligation. There were no material items that were measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 other than those disclosed in Note 2.p. to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report F.
