Fair Value Measurements

6. Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements,” establishes a fair value hierarchy based on three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the third is considered unobservable:

• Level 1: Quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets which the Company can access

• Level 2: Observable inputs other than those described in Level 1

• Level 3: Unobservable inputs

Current Assets and Liabilities

The Company’s cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, which represent an asset the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company determines the fair value of cash equivalents using a market approach based on quoted prices in active markets. The fair values of cash, accounts receivable, income taxes receivable, accounts payable, income taxes payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company addresses market risks from changes in foreign currency exchange rates through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments to mitigate certain balance sheet foreign currency transaction exposures. The Company uses foreign currency forward contracts as a part of its strategy to manage exposures related to foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts is reported either in other current assets or in other current liabilities as of the end of the period.

Contingent Considerations

On July 31, 2019, the Company acquired ARGES. Under the purchase and sale agreement for the ARGES acquisition, the former owner of ARGES is eligible to receive contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue targets by the Company from August 2019 through December 2026. The undiscounted range of possible contingent consideration is zero to €10.0 million. If the revenue targets are achieved, the contingent consideration would be payable annually with the first payment due in the first quarter of 2021. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of €7.1 million ($7.9 million) was determined based on the Monte Carlo valuation method and was recorded as part of the purchase price as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in restructuring, acquisition, and related costs until the liability is fully settled. Based on the revenue performance as of October 2, 2020 and the most recent revenue projections for fiscal years 2021 to 2016, the fair value of the contingent consideration was adjusted to €6.4 million ($7.6 million) as of October 2, 2020.

On April 16, 2019, the Company acquired Ingenia CAT, S.L. (“Ingenia”). Under the purchase and sale agreement for the Ingenia acquisition, the shareholders of Ingenia are eligible to receive contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue targets by the Company from April 2019 through March 2022. The undiscounted range of possible contingent consideration is zero to €8.0 million. If the revenue targets are achieved, the contingent consideration would be payable in cash in three annual installments from 2020 to 2022. The estimated fair value of the contingent consideration of €5.8 million ($6.6 million) was determined based on the Monte Carlo valuation method and was recorded as part of the purchase price as of the acquisition date. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent consideration liability are recorded in the consolidated statement of operations in restructuring, acquisition, and related costs until the liability is fully settled. In June 2020, the Company made the first installment payment of €1.0 million ($1.1 million), which is included in cash flows from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2020. There were no other changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration during the nine months ended October 2, 2020.

On December 14, 2016, the Company acquired certain video signal processing and management technologies used in medical visualization solutions. Under the purchase and sale agreement, the former owners are eligible to receive contingent consideration based on the achievement of certain revenue targets by the Company from 2018 to 2021 from products utilizing the acquired technologies. The undiscounted range of possible contingent consideration is zero to €5.5 million ($6.6 million). If the revenue targets are achieved, the contingent consideration would be payable in cash in four installments from 2019 to 2022. As the acquired assets did not meet the definition of a business, the fair value of the contingent consideration is recognized when probable and estimable and is capitalized as part of the cost of the acquired assets. Subsequent changes in the estimated fair value of this contingent liability are recorded as adjustments to the carrying value of the asset acquired and amortized over the remaining useful life of the underlying assets. In February 2020, the Company made the first installment payment of €2.4 million ($2.6 million), which is included in cash flows from investing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2020. There were no other changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration during the nine months ended October 2, 2020.

The following table provides qualitative information associated with the fair value measurement of the Company’s Level 3 liabilities:

Liability	October 2, 2020 Fair Value (in thousands)	Valuation Technique	Unobservable Inputs	Percentage Applied
Contingent consideration (ARGES)	$7,555	Monte Carlo method	Historical and projected revenues from August 2019 through December 2026	N/A
			Revenue volatility	36.0%
			Cost of debt	1.4%

Contingent consideration (Other)	$3,134	Discounted cash flow method	Historical and projected revenues for fiscal years 2018 to 2021	N/A
			Revenue discount rate	22.8%

Increases or decreases in the unobservable inputs noted above would result in a higher or lower fair value measurement.
