Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 15. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 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 (1) the asset or liability is 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. 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 September 30, 2024, financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were limited to investments in equity securities and debt securities classified as trading securities, our Executive Savings 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 (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, are summarized in the following tables by the type of inputs applicable to the fair value measurements:
| September 30, 2024
| Total Fair Value |  | Quoted Prices (Level 1) |  | Significant Unobservable (Level 3)
Equity securities | $ | 31,639 |  |  | $ | 31,639 |  |  | $ | — |

Investments in equity securities and debt securities, all of which are classified as trading securities and mature after one year and before five years at September 30, 2024, were included in “Marketable securities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses to measure our investments in equity and debt securities at fair value were included in Other (income) expense, net in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Our unrealized net gains (losses), which are calculated as total net gains (losses) recognized during the period less net gains (losses) recognized on securities sold during the period, were as follows:
| Year Ended September 30,
| 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2022
Unrealized gain on equity securities | $ | 1,492 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Unrealized gain on debt securities | 297 |  |  | — |  |  | — |
Total unrealized gain on trading securities | $ | 1,789 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
On April 1, 2024, we entered into a contingent consideration arrangement valued at $2,790 in connection with the acquisition of Greiner Industries, Inc. For more information, refer to Note 19, “Business Combinations and Divestitures.” The contingent consideration obligation related to Bayonet, which was acquired in fiscal year 2021, was settled in cash for $4,500 in December 2023. Net adjustments to fair value of such liabilities were included in Contingent consideration in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The table below presents the fair value of this obligation, which used significant unobservable inputs (Level 3).
| Contingent Consideration Agreement
Fair value at September 30, 2022 | $ | (4,323) |
Net adjustments to fair value | (142) |
Fair value at September 30, 2023 | $ | (4,465) |
Acquisitions | (2,790) |
Net adjustments to fair value | (713) |
Settlements | 4,500 |
Fair value at September 30, 2024 | $ | (3,468) |
Below is a description of the inputs used to value the assets summarized in the preceding tables: Level 1 — Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets exchanged in active markets. Level 2 — Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices for identical assets exchanged in inactive markets; and other inputs that are considered in fair value determinations of the assets. Level 3 — Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets. Management is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if any, market activity in the assets or related observable inputs that can be corroborated at the measurement date.
