The Company considers fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company utilizes the following three-level fair value hierarchy to establish the priorities of the inputs used to measure fair value:

•Level 2—Observable inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

The following table presents the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding assets related to the Company's defined benefit pension plans, classified by the level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

On May 19, 2021, the Company made a technology acquisition for a total cash consideration of $25.6 million, which included contingent consideration of $10.0 million payable in cash upon the achievement of three technical development milestones to be completed as of December 31, 2021, June 30, 2022, and June 30, 2023. The fair value of the contingent consideration was $10.0 million at the acquisition date, which was determined using a probability-weighted expected payment model and discounted at the estimated cost of debt. During fiscal year 2022, the Company paid $0.9 million for the contingent consideration related to the first technical development milestone. During fiscal year 2023, the Company paid $4.0 million for the contingent consideration related to the second technical development milestone. The Company expects to pay the contingent consideration for the third technical development milestone within the next twelve months.

On February 17, 2021, the Company acquired all equity interests of Mevo Inc. ("Mevo") for a total cash consideration of $33.2 million, plus additional contingent consideration of up to $17.0 million payable in cash only upon the achievement of certain net revenues for the period from December 26, 2020 to December 31, 2021. The fair value of the contingent consideration as of the acquisition date was $3.4 million, which was determined by using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model to calculate the probability of the earn-out threshold being met, times the

value of the earn-out payment, and discounted at the risk-free rate. The valuation included significant assumptions and unobservable inputs such as the projected sales of Mevo over the earn-out period, risk-free rate, and the net sales volatility. Projected sales were based on the Company's internal projections, including analysis of the target market and historical sales of Mevo products. As of March 31, 2021 the fair value of the contingent consideration remained as $3.4 million. As of December 31, 2021, the fair value of the contingent consideration was released from other current liabilities as the net sales milestone was not achieved upon completion of the earn-out period.

On January 4, 2021, the Company made a technology acquisition for a total cash consideration of $11.0 million, which included contingent consideration of $3.0 million payable in cash upon the achievement of two technical development milestones to be completed as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. The fair value of the contingent consideration was determined using a probability-weighted expected payment model and discounted at the estimated cost of debt. During fiscal year 2023, the Company paid $2.0 million for the contingent consideration related to the first technical development milestone. The Company expects to pay the remaining $1.0 million for the second technical development milestone within the next twelve months.

In connection with the acquisition of Streamlabs on October 31, 2019, the Company agreed to pay a total earn-out payment of $29.0 million, payable in stock, only upon the achievement of certain net revenues for the period from January 1, 2020 to June 30, 2020. During fiscal year 2021 and 2022, the Company issued 390,397 and 4,010 shares, respectively, out of treasury stock to former security holders of Streamlabs, in satisfaction of payment of the contingent consideration that was earned during the earn-out period. The issuances of such shares were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), in reliance on Regulation D of the Securities Act as transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering.

Although the estimate of contingent consideration is based on management’s best knowledge of current events, the estimate could change significantly from period to period. Actual results that differ from the assumptions used and any changes to the significant assumptions and unobservable inputs used could have an impact on future results of operations.

The marketable securities for the Company's deferred compensation plan are recorded at a fair value of $28.2 million and $28.4 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are observable inputs that are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains (losses) related to marketable securities for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 are included in other income (expense), net in the consolidated statements of operations (see Note 6).

The Company has certain non-marketable investments included in other assets that are accounted for as equity method investments, with a carrying value of $20.5 million and $40.2 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Gains (losses) related to equity method investments for fiscal years 2023, 2022 and 2021 were not material and are included in other income (expense), net in the Company's consolidated statements of operations (see Note 6).

During fiscal year 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge, before tax, of $21.4 million for one of its equity method investments as it was determined that the carrying value of the investment was not recoverable. The impairment charge is included in other income (expense), net in the Company's consolidated statement of operations for fiscal year 2023. There was no impairment of equity method investments during fiscal years 2022 and 2021.

Financial Assets. The Company has certain equity investments without readily determinable fair values due to the absence of quoted market prices, the inherent lack of liquidity, and the fact that inputs used to measure fair value are unobservable and require management's judgment. When certain events or circumstances indicate that impairment may exist, the Company revalues the investments using various assumptions, including the financial metrics and ratios of comparable public companies. The carrying value is also adjusted for observable price changes with the same or similar security from the same issuer. The amount of these equity investments without readily determinable fair value included in other assets was $12.6 million and $2.9 million as of March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During fiscal year 2023, the Company recorded an unrealized gain, before tax, of $6.9 million for its investment in a private company as a result of observable price changes for similar securities issued by this

company (level 2 fair value measurement). There was no impairment of these investments during fiscal year 2022 and the impairment charges related to these investments were not material during fiscal years 2023 and 2021.

Non-Financial Assets. Goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant and equipment, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis. However, if the Company is required to evaluate these non-financial assets for impairment, whether due to certain triggering events or because of the required annual impairment test, and a resulting impairment is recorded to reduce the carrying value to the fair value, the non-financial assets are measured at fair value during such period. See Note 2 for additional information about how the Company tests various asset classes for impairment. There was no impairment of non-financial assets during the fiscal years of 2023 and 2021. During fiscal year 2022, the Company recorded impairment charges of $7.0 million for the Jaybird-related intangible assets (see Note 11).
