Refer to Note 2 in the Form 10-K for a description of the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The business acquisition liabilities represent the estimated fair value of additional future contingent consideration payable for acquisitions of businesses that included contingent consideration clauses. The fair value of the business acquisition liabilities is evaluated on an ongoing basis and is based on management estimates and entity-specific assumptions which are considered Level 3 inputs. In the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded a reduction in fair value of $98.0 for the Flawless business acquisition liability (as defined in Note 10) based on the revised valuation due to updated sales forecasts. The $98.0 reduction of the business acquisition liability was recorded as a reduction in SG&A expense within the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International segments. At both September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had a business acquisition liability of $20.0 in connection with the Zicam Acquisition (as defined in Note 10). Any amount that may be due for the Zicam business acquisition liability is payable five years from the closing.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap lock agreements (“Interest Rate Swap Lock Agreements”) which are used to hedge the risk of changes in the interest payments attributable to changes in the benchmark U.S. Dollar LIBOR interest rate associated with anticipated issuances of debt in 2022. The liability decreased by $17.2 during the first nine months of 2021 primarily due to higher current and projected interest rates with the offset in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and Deferred Taxes. The liability was reclassified to Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses during the third quarter of 2021.

The carrying amounts of Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, approximated estimated fair values as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
