Fair Value Measurements And Investments [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements and Investments | Note 14—Fair Value Measurements and Investments Fair value is generally based on quoted prices, however if quoted market prices are not available, fair value is determined based on other relevant factors, including dealer price quotations, price activity for equivalent instruments and valuation pricing models. The Company established a fair value hierarchy which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of instrument, the characteristics specific to the instrument and the state of the marketplace (including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants). Financial instruments with readily available, actively quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices in an orderly market will generally have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value. Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories (from highest to lowest) based on inputs: Level 1—Unadjusted quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. Level 2—Pricing inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets. Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instruments and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the determination of which level within the fair value hierarchy is appropriate for any given investment is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the instrument. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the fair values of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, due from related parties, accounts payable and certain accrued liabilities approximate their carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these items. Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following table summarizes the categorization and fair value estimate of the Company’s financial instruments that were measured on a recurring basis pursuant to the above fair value hierarchy levels as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:
| March 31, 2026
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total
Financial liabilities |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Contingent consideration | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 3,070 |  |  | $ | 3,070 |
| December 31, 2025
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Total
Financial liabilities |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Contingent consideration | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 3,140 |  |  | $ | 3,140 |
The Company had no transfers between fair value levels during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. On October 1, 2025, the Company acquired Devon Park Advisors, LLC under an arrangement that included contingent consideration whereby additional amounts may be earned if certain client engagements generate revenue within one year of the acquisition closing (the “Earn-out”). The Earn-out is presented at fair value within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Condition and adjustments to the fair value are recorded within Other income (expense) on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Earn-out is classified as Level 3 due to use of significant unobservable inputs in the discounted cash flow valuation model, including the application of probabilities when assessing when and whether performance thresholds will be met. Additional inputs utilized in the valuation of the Earn-out were as follows:
| March 31, 2026 |  | December 31, 2025 |  |  |
Discount rate | 4.24 | % |  | 3.97 | % |  |  |
Expected term (years) | 3.00 |  |  | 3.00 |  |  |  |
The Company’s discount rate assumption reflects a blended corporate credit rating representative of comparable entities, considering the expected timing of cash outflows. The following table presents the changes in fair value of the Level 3 financial liabilities for the period from January 1, 2026 to March 31, 2026:
| Contingent consideration
Beginning balance | $ | 3,140 |
Change in fair value | (70) |
Ending balance | $ | 3,070 |
