Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | 9. Fair Value Measurements The following table presents the Company's assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy:
|  |  |  |  | Fair Value Measurements at September 30, 2023 |
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Significant Other |  |  | Significant |
|  |  |  |  | Quoted Prices in |  |  | Observable |  |  | Unobservable |

(in thousands) |  | Total |  |  | (Level 1) |  |  | (Level 2) |  |  | (Level 3) |
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Money market funds (1) |  | $ | 10,553 |  |  | $ | 10,553 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |
Liabilities: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Contingent earnout liability (2) |  | $ | 12,236 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 12,236 |
(1) The fair values of the money market funds were based on recently quoted market prices and reported transactions in an active marketplace. Money market funds are included in the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Cash and cash equivalents." (2) The contingent earnout liability relates to businesses acquired since 2020. See Note 12, "Business Acquisitions" for more information. The Level 3 fair value of the contingent earnout liability was estimated using internally-prepared revenue and EBITDA projections, and discount rates determined using a combination of observable and unobservable market data. The Company recognized a pretax contingent earnout expense totaling $2,127,000 and $3,100,000 in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 related to the fair value adjustment of earnout liabilities. The fair value adjustment is based on changes to projections of acquired entities over the respective earnout periods, which span multiple years. The fair value of the contingent earnout liability is included in "Other accrued liabilities" and "Other noncurrent liabilities" on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, based upon the term of the contingent earnout agreement. Fair Value Disclosures There were no transfers of assets between fair value levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The categorization of assets and liabilities within the fair value hierarchy and the measurement techniques are reviewed quarterly. Any transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred at the end of the quarter. The fair values of accounts receivable, unbilled revenues, accounts payable and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The interest rate on the Company's variable rate long-term debt resets at least every 90 days; therefore, the recorded value approximates fair value. Nonrecurring Fair Value Disclosures Goodwill is an asset that represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the separately identifiable net assets (tangible and intangible) acquired in certain business combinations. Indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of trade names associated with acquired businesses. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized but are subject to impairment testing at least annually. Other long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment, capitalized software, and amortizable intangible assets related to customer relationships, technology, and trade names with finite lives. Other long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment when impairment indicators are identified. Goodwill is tested for impairment on October 1st of each year, or between annual impairment tests, if events or circumstances have occurred which indicate potential impairment of goodwill. When testing for impairment, the carrying value of each reporting unit, including goodwill, is compared with the estimated fair value of the respective reporting unit as determined utilizing a combination of the income and market approaches and is classified in Level 3 ot the fair value hierarchy. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company identified goodwill impairment indicators in our International Operations reporting unit and Crawford Legal Services reporting unit, which are reflected in our International Operations reportable segment, as a result of a reduction in forecasted revenue and earnings, higher interest rates, and a lower Crawford & Company stock price. The Company also identified goodwill impairment indicators in its North America Loss Adjusting and Platform Solutions reportable segments related to the edjuster Inc. and Praxis Consulting Inc. reporting units, respectively, as these reporting units had minimal historical excess of fair value over the carrying value due to being recent acquisitions, given higher interest rates and a lower Crawford & Company stock price. As a result of these indicators, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test as of August 31, 2022 and recognized a pretax goodwill impairment of $36,808,000. The goodwill impairment charge reduced the carrying value of goodwill in the Company's edjuster Inc. and Praxis Consulting Inc. reporting units by $3,366,000 and $10,650,000, respectively. Goodwill related to the Company's International Operations and Crawford Legal Services reporting units was fully impaired with a charge of $19,640,000 and $3,152,000, respectively. The key assumptions used in estimating the fair value of the Company's reporting units as of August 31, 2022 utilizing the income approach include the discount rate and the terminal growth rate. The discount rates utilized in estimating the fair value of the Company's reporting units as of August 31, 2022 ranged between 15.5% and 18.0%, reflecting its assessment of a market participant's view of the risks associated with the projected cash flows. The terminal growth rate used in the analysis was 2.0%. The assumptions used in estimating the fair values are based on currently available data and management's best estimate of revenues, EBITDA margin, and cash flows and, accordingly, a change in market conditions or other factors could have a material effect on the estimated values. There are inherent uncertainties related to the assumptions used and to management's application of these assumptions. The Company did not identify any impairment indicators year to date 2023.
