Contingent Consideration

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2020

The Company recorded contingent consideration of $9,200 at June 1, 2018, related to its acquisition of its SmartSystems business. Each reporting period, the Company reassesses its inputs, including market comparable information and management assessments regarding potential future scenarios, and then discounts the liabilities to present value. The Company recorded adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration in the amount of $0 and $575 for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, on the condensed consolidated income statements. The Company recorded adjustments to the fair value of contingent consideration in the amount of $1,020 and $1,542 for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, on the condensed consolidated income statements. The Company will continue to reassess earn-out calculations related to the contingent consideration in future periods.

The Company’s contingent consideration is remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis and is comprised of payments for production of silos and related equipment during the three-year period after the acquisition. Contingent liabilities are valued using significant inputs that are not observable in the market, which are defined as Level 3 inputs according to fair value measurement accounting. The Company used a probability-weighted average between 1 and 5 manufactured SmartDepot fleets over the remaining earnout period, as the basis of its fair value determination. The actual contingent consideration could vary from the determined amount based on the actual number of SmartDepot silos and related equipment produced and the timing thereof. The Company estimates the fair value of contingent liabilities using a Monte Carlo simulation-based, real option pricing methodology implementation of the Income Approach. This approach utilizes inputs including market comparable information and management assessments regarding potential future scenarios, and then discounts the liabilities to present value. The Company believes its estimates and assumptions are reasonable, however, there is significant judgment involved. The Company’s financial instruments remeasured and carried at fair value were as follows:


	June 30, 2020		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Contingent consideration	$	570	$	—	$	—	$	570
Total liabilities	$	570	$	—	$	—	$	570
