Derivative financial instruments are classified within level 2 because there is not an active market for each derivative contract. However, the inputs used to calculate the value of the instruments are obtained from active markets.

The fair value of the long-term fixed interest rate debt, which has been classified as Level 2, was $257.2 million and $244.1 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, based on market and observable sources with similar maturity dates.

The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Fair value treatment may be elected either upon initial recognition of an eligible asset or liability or, for an existing asset or liability, if an event triggers a new basis of accounting. The Company did not elect to remeasure any of its existing financial assets or liabilities during the year ended December 31, 2014.

As part of certain acquisitions in 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded contingent consideration liabilities that have been classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The contingent consideration represents the estimated fair value of future payments to the former shareholders of applicable acquired companies based on achieving annual revenue targets in certain years as specified in the purchase and sale agreements. The Company initially valued the contingent consideration by using the discounted cash flow method. Changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration recognized in earnings for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $(0.8) million and $1.5 million, respectively, and were recorded to other charges, net in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. The following table sets forth the changes in contingent consideration liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

Balance at December 31, 2012	$	3.7
Current period additions		5.8
Current period adjustments		(1.5	)
Current period settlements		(1.3	)
Foreign currency effect		0.3

Balance at December 31, 2013		7.0
Current period additions		4.7
Current period adjustments		0.8
Current period settlements		(0.5	)
Foreign currency effect		(0.1	)

Balance at December 31, 2014	$	11.9

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company commenced a program to enter into time deposits with varying maturity dates ranging from one to twelve months, as well as call deposits for which the Company has the ability to redeem the invested amounts over a period of 31 to 95 days. The Company has classified these investments within cash and cash equivalents or short-term investments within the consolidated balance sheet based on the call and maturity dates. The investments are recorded at cost, as approximate fair value.
