Fair Value Measurement
Note 5 – Fair Value Measurements
The Company follows ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurement” (“ASC 820”), which establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It emphasizes that fair value should reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. ASC 820 also establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in valuation methodologies. A brief description of the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs; inputs to the valuation methodology based on unobservable prices or valuation techniques that are significant to the fair value measurement.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurements as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

(2) As of December 31, 2023, $3,325 was recorded in Contingent consideration liability - current portion and $9,975 was recorded in Contingent consideration liability - long-term portion.
The Company uses derivative instruments, specifically, forward foreign exchange contracts, to manage the risk associated with the volatility of future cash flows. Fair value of these instruments is based on observable market transactions of spot and forward rates. Refer to Note 12 – Derivative Instruments for further information.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for the contingent consideration liabilities included within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

(1) In 2024, amount consists of an adjustment of $2,722 that was included as an expense related to the change in valuation of the contingent consideration liability in connection with the acquisition of Almost Famous. The adjustment was recorded in the Wholesale Accessories/Apparel segment.
(2) On December 31, 2024, the transfer out of Level 3 amount of $8,547, which was recorded in the Company's contingent consideration liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, represented the amount paid of our contingent liabilities which was measured based upon actual EBIT performance for the related performance period and was included as cash used in financing activities on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of Almost Famous $7,475 and $13,300, respectively. The fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, which estimates the probability of various financial outcomes during the measurement period. The model utilized discount rates of 17.5% and 20.3% as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The change in fair value of the contingent payment liability reflects revisions to the forecasted operating results over the measurement period.
As of December 31, 2024, the fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to the acquisition of ATM was $90 in connection with the November 2024 acquisition of ATM. The fair value was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model, utilizing a discount rate of 12.6%.
The fair values of goodwill and other intangibles are measured on a non-recurring basis and are determined using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows, discount rates, and implied royalty rates. Refer to Note 4 – Acquisitions, Purchases and Sales of Joint Ventures, and Divestitures and Note 7 – Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets for further information.
The fair values of lease right-of-use assets and fixed assets related to company-owned retail stores are measured on a non-recurring basis and are determined using Level 3 inputs, including estimated discounted future cash flows associated with the assets using sales trends, market rents, and market participant assumptions. Refer to Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies for further information.
The carrying value of certain financial instruments such as cash equivalents, short-term investments, accounts receivable, factor accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximates their fair values due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms. Fair value of the notes receivable held by the Company approximates their carrying value based upon their imputed or actual interest rate, which approximates applicable current market interest rates. Some assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances (non-recurring). These assets can include long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when impaired. Assets that are written down to fair value when impaired are not subsequently adjusted to fair value unless further impairment occurs.
