Valuation of Contingent Consideration Resulting from a Business Combination

In connection with certain acquisitions, we may be required to pay future consideration that is contingent upon the achievement of specified milestone events. We record contingent consideration resulting from a business combination at its fair value on the acquisition date. Each quarter thereafter, we revalue these obligations and record increases or decreases in their fair value within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations until such time as the specified milestone achievement period is complete.

Increases or decreases in fair value of the contingent consideration liabilities can result from updates to assumptions such as the expected timing or probability of achieving the specified milestones. Significant judgment is employed in determining these assumptions as of the acquisition date and for each subsequent period. Updates to assumptions could have a significant impact on our results of operations in any given period. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, titled Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. These amendments address investor requests for enhanced transparency regarding income tax information. Specifically, they improve income tax disclosures related to rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 becomes effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. While we are currently assessing the impact of this standard, we anticipate it will result in disclosure changes only.

This Form 10-Q does not include any other newly implemented accounting standards or pronouncements beyond those detailed above. Such exclusions were made because they either do not apply to our company or are not anticipated to materially impact the condensed consolidated financial statements.
