Note 3. | Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Accordingly, fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is determined using the market-standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed-cash payments and the discounted expected variable-cash receipts. The variable-cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. These analyses reflect the contractual terms of the swap, including the period to maturity, and use observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair value calculation also includes an amount for risk of non-performance of our counterparties using "significant unobservable inputs" such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default, which we have determined to be insignificant to the overall fair value of our interest rate swap agreements. The fair value of the contingent consideration arrangement is based on inputs that are not observable in the market and is estimated using a probability-weighted method. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value of the contingent consideration liability include the financial projections over the earn-out period, the volatility of the underlying financial metrics, and estimated discount rates. The fair value of the life insurance policies was determined by the underwriting insurance company’s valuation models and represents the guaranteed value we would receive upon surrender of these policies as of the reporting date. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is used to prioritize the inputs in measuring fair value as follows:
● | Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
● | Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
● | Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, certificates of deposit, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and current debt approximates their fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Interest rates that are currently available to us for issuance of long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities are used to estimate the fair value of our long-term debt, which primarily consists of revenue equipment installment notes. The fair value of our revenue equipment installment notes approximated the carrying value as of June 30, 2024, as the weighted average interest rate on these notes approximates the market rate for similar debt. Borrowings under our revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate on that facility. Contingent consideration arrangements require us to pay up to $20.0 million of additional consideration to AAT Carriers, Inc.'s ("AAT's") former shareholders based on AAT's results during the first two post-acquisition years, of which the final installment was made during 2024, up to $30.0 million of additional consideration to Lew Thompson & Son Trucking, Inc.'s ("LTST's") former shareholders based on LTST's results during the first three calendar years following closing, and up to $12.0 million of additional consideration to Sims Transport Services, LLC's ("Sims") former shareholders based on Sims' results during the first four calendar years following closing. Refer to Note 13, "Acquisition of Lew Thompson & Son Trucking, Inc.", for additional information regarding the LTST acquisition and Note 12, "Acquisition of Sims Transport Services, LLC", for additional information regarding the Sims acquisition. The fair value of the contingent consideration is adjusted at each reporting period based on changes to the expected cash flows and related assumptions. There were no contingent consideration payments made during the three months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023, and $10.0 million and $10.0 million paid during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, based on AAT's results for the first and second post-acquisition years. Of the $10.0 million paid for the contingent consideration liability during 2024, $7.0 million was classified as financing cash flows and $3.0 million was classified as operating cash flows within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Of the $10.0 million paid for the contingent consideration liability during 2023, $9.2 million was classified as financing cash flows and $0.8 million was classified as operating cash flows within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. The fair value of the contingent consideration increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 by $0.7 million and $8.8 million, respectively, related to a change in the fair value for the LTST contingent consideration arrangement and by $0.5 million and $2.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, related to a change in the fair value for the AAT contingent consideration arrangement. The adjustment to the fair value of the contingent consideration liability was recorded as a component of general supplies and expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The contingent consideration liability is included in accounts payable and other long-term liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table provides a summary (in thousands) of the activity for the contingent consideration liability for 2024:
