(1) In connection with the AccuTrade Acquisition, the Company entered into an agreement to provide one of the former owners with a one-year license to a certain product. The fair value of the license was determined to be $6.5 million, of which the Company received $1.2 million in cash upon the close of the AccuTrade Acquisition. The $5.3 million difference between the fair value of $6.5 million and the $1.2 million in cash was recorded as non-cash consideration and the $6.5 million license fee was recorded in Other accrued liabilities as a contract liability on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and was amortized into Other revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Income over the one-year contract term. The revenue related to the non-cash consideration of $0.9 million and $4.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is a non-cash reconciling item titled Amortization of deferred revenue related to AccuTrade Acquisition on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. (2) As part of the AccuTrade Acquisition, the Company may be required to pay additional consideration to the former owners based on the achievement of certain financial targets. The Company has the option to pay consideration in cash or certain amounts in stock, which would result in a variable number of shares being issued in accordance with a calculation based on future share prices. The amount to be paid will be determined by the acquired business’ future performance to be attained over a three-year performance period; based on certain tiered performance metrics the maximum amount to be paid is $63.0 million, of which a maximum of $15.0 million could be in stock, with additional upside for performance that exceeds the tiered performance metrics. The contingent consideration is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value is measured based on a Monte Carlo simulation. This amount represents the estimated fair value at the time of the acquisition. For more information on the fair value of the AccuTrade contingent consideration, see Note 4 (Fair Value Measurements).
