Fair Value Measurements

2.    Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions

The following tables present the components and classification of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Changes in the fair value of non-qualified deferred compensation assets and liabilities are recognized in other expense, net in our consolidated statements of income. Changes in the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration and compensation liability are recognized in acquisition-related contingent consideration, compensation and amortization expenses in our consolidated statements of income.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the beginning and ending amounts of the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration and compensation liability categorized as Level 3 (in thousands):

The fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration and compensation liability was determined utilizing a Monte Carlo model based on estimated future revenues, margins and volatility factors, among other variables and estimates and has no minimum or maximum payment. The undiscounted range of outcomes per the Monte Carlo model utilized to determine the fair value of the acquisition-related contingent consideration and compensation liability was $0.0 million to $142.4 million at December 31, 2024 and $2.6 million to $235.4 million at January 2, 2024. Results could change materially if different estimates and assumptions were used. During fiscal 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration and compensation liability decreased by $5.3 million due to a payment of $6.5 million per the FRC acquisition agreement and a $1.9 million decrease in the fair value primarily stemming from a change in the volatility factors, as well as a decrease in fiscal 2025 revenues and estimated future revenues utilized in the calculation, partially offset by $3.1 million of amortization. During fiscal 2023, the fair value of the contingent consideration and compensation liability decreased by $3.1 million due to a payment of $13.0 million per the FRC acquisition agreement, partially offset by $9.9 million increase in the fair value primarily stemming from a change in the volatility factors, as well as an increase in fiscal 2023 revenues and estimated future revenues utilized in the calculation and amortization.

The fair values of our cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, other receivables, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, income taxes payable and other accrued expenses approximate their carrying amounts due to their short duration. The fair value of our Revolver Facility (as defined below) approximates carrying value due to the variable interest rate.

At both December 31, 2024 and January 2, 2024, we had $345.0 million aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding. The estimated fair value of the Notes based on a market approach as of December 31, 2024 and January 2, 2024 was approximately $339.5 million and $298.8 million, respectively, and determined based on the estimated or actual bids and offers of the Notes in an over-the-counter market on the last business day of the reporting period. The increase in the fair value of the Notes was primarily due to an increase in our stock price. See Note 10 for further discussion of the Notes.
