Fair Value Measurements

3 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2021

4.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:

The Company uses valuation approaches that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company determines fair value based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability in the principal or most advantageous market. When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to the reporting entity at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Other than quoted prices included in Level 1 inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at measurement date.

The following tables summarize the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

	December 31, 2021
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
	(Amounts in thousands)
Assets:
Interest rate swap contract	$	—	$	273	$	—	$	273
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	15,504	$	15,504

	September 30, 2021
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
	(Amounts in thousands)
Assets:
Interest rate swap contract	$	—	$	150	$	—	$	150
Liabilities:
Contingent consideration liabilities	$	—	$	—	$	12,364	$	12,364

There were no transfers between the valuation hierarchy Levels 1, 2, and 3 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, and 2021.

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap contract is calculated as the present value of expected future cash flows, determined on the basis of forward interest rates and present value factors. The inputs to the fair value measurements reflect Level 2 inputs. The interest rate swap contract balance is included in other long-term assets in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The interest rate swap contract is designated as a cash flow hedge with changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

We estimate the fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. The contingent consideration liabilities are estimated based on forecasted pre-tax earnings as a base scenario (among other assumptions) subject to a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities, which reflect Level 3 inputs, is reassessed on a quarterly basis. The contingent consideration liabilities balance is included in accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes in fair value and net present value of the contingent consideration liabilities are included in selling, general, and administrative expenses in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table sets forth the changes in fair value of our contingent consideration liabilities, which reflect Level 3 inputs, for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2021:

	Contingent Consideration Liabilities
	2020		2021
	(Amounts in thousands)
Beginning balance - September 30,	$	2,960	$	12,364
Additions from business acquisitions		8,200		6,030
Settlement of contingent consideration liabilities		—		(3,000	)
Change in fair value and net present value of contingency		118		110
Ending balance - December 31,	$	11,278	$	15,504

We determined the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, short-term borrowings, and the revolving mortgage facility approximate their fair values because of the nature of their terms and current market rates of these instruments. The fair value of our mortgage facilities, which are not carried at fair value in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was determined using Level 2 inputs based on the discounted cash flow method. We estimate the fair value of our mortgage facilities using a present value technique based on current market interest rates for similar types of financial instruments that reflect Level 2 inputs. The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value of our mortgage facilities as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021:

	September 30, 2021				December 31, 2021
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
	(Amounts in thousands)
Mortgage facility payable to Flagship Bank	$	6,872	$	6,899	$	6,721	$	6,777
Mortgage facility payable to Seacoast National Bank		17,529		17,675		17,346		17,380
Mortgage facility payable to Hancock Whitney Bank		27,089		27,106		26,500		26,627
