Fair Value

12 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. GAAP sets forth a three-level fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The three levels are as follows:

Level 1 – defined as observable inputs, such as quoted market prices in active markets.

Level 2 – defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore, requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Our financial assets and liabilities subject to the three-level fair value hierarchy consist principally of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, contingent consideration payable and defined benefit pension plan assets. The estimated fair value of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximates their carrying value. See Note 11 for fair value disclosures related to our defined benefit pension plan assets.

Impairment charges for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets resulted from nonrecurring fair value measurements. See further discussion in Note 1 and Note 6.

Our contingent consideration, which resulted from the earn-out associated with our acquisition of Bantam, was included in Other Noncurrent Liabilities. The following table summarizes our contingent consideration as of June 30:

Bantam Contingent Consideration

This contingent consideration resulted from the earn-out associated with our October 19, 2018 acquisition of Bantam. In general, the terms of the acquisition specified the sellers could receive an earn-out based upon a pre-determined multiple of the defined adjusted EBITDA of Bantam for the twelve months ending December 31, 2023. The initial fair value of the contingent consideration was determined to be $8.0 million. Prior to our May 2022 decision to exit the business, the fair value was measured on a recurring basis using a Monte Carlo simulation that randomly changed revenue growth, forecasted adjusted EBITDA and other uncertain variables to estimate an expected value. We recorded the present value of these amounts by applying a discount rate. As these fair value measurements were based on significant inputs not observable in the market, they represented Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. There was no liability recorded for Bantam’s contingent consideration at June 30, 2022.

Our 2022 fair value measurements resulted in a $3.5 million reduction in the fair value of Bantam’s contingent consideration based on changes in Bantam’s forecasted adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ending December 31, 2023, as well as a refinement to the estimated probabilities applied to our forecast scenarios. The changes in forecasted adjusted EBITDA reflected lower projected sales levels for both the Retail and Foodservice business. The changes in estimated probabilities reflected a lower likelihood of attaining certain Foodservice business. We recorded $2.6 million of this adjustment in our Foodservice segment and $0.9 million in our Retail segment.

Our 2021 fair value measurements resulted in a $5.7 million reduction in the fair value of Bantam’s contingent consideration based on changes in Bantam’s forecasted adjusted EBITDA for the twelve months ending December 31, 2023. The changes in forecasted adjusted EBITDA primarily reflected the impact of a SKU rationalization by a Foodservice customer resulting in the loss of sales to that customer after November 30, 2020. This adjustment was recorded in our Foodservice segment.

The following table represents our Level 3 fair value measurements using significant other unobservable inputs for Bantam’s contingent consideration:


	2022		2021
Contingent consideration at beginning of year	$	3,470	$	9,157

Change in contingent consideration included in operating income	(3,470)		(5,687)
Contingent consideration at end of year	$	—	$	3,470
