Fair Value Measurements [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | 10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair Value Measurement Accounting Fair value is considered the price to sell an asset, or transfer a liability, between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements assume that the asset or liability is (1) exchanged in an orderly manner, (2) the exchange is in the principal market for that asset or liability, and (3) the market participants are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to transact an exchange. Fair value accounting and reporting establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a hierarchy for observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the market data used to develop fair value estimates. As such, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methods could have a material effect on the estimated fair value. At March 31, 2019, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were limited to our Executive Deferred Compensation Plan, under which certain employees are permitted to defer a portion of their base salary and/or bonus for a Plan Year (as defined in the plan), and contingent consideration liabilities related to certain of our acquisitions. Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019, and September 30, 2018, are summarized in the following tables by the type of inputs applicable to the fair value measurements:
| March 31, 2019
|  |  | Total Fair Value |  |  | Quoted Prices (Level 1) |  |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Executive savings plan assets |  | $ | 738 |  | $ | 738 |  | $ | -
Executive savings plan liabilities |  |  | (623) |  |  | (623) |  |  | -
Contingent consideration |  |  | (270) |  |  | - |  |  | (270)
Total |  | $ | (155) |  | $ | 115 |  | $ | (270)
| September 30, 2018
|  |  | Total Fair Value |  |  | Quoted Prices (Level 1) |  |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Executive savings plan assets |  | $ | 747 |  | $ | 747 |  | $ | -
Executive savings plan liabilities |  |  | (631) |  |  | (631) |  |  | -
Contingent consideration |  |  | (680) |  |  | - |  |  | (680)
Total |  | $ | (564) |  | $ | 116 |  | $ | (680)
In fiscal years 2016, 2017 and 2018, we entered into contingent consideration arrangements related to certain acquisitions. At March 31, 2019, we estimated the fair value of these contingent consideration liabilities at $270. The table below presents a reconciliation of the fair value of these obligations, which used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).
|  |  |  | Contingent Consideration Agreements
| Fair value at September 30, 2018 |  | $ | 680
| Settlements |  |  | (295)
| Net adjustments to fair value |  |  | (115)
| Fair value at March 31, 2019 |  | $ | 270
