FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

The fair value of the Company’s financial instruments reflects the amounts that the Company estimates it will receive in connection with the sale of an asset or pay in connection with the transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Some of the Company’s marketable securities primarily utilize broker quotes in a non-active market for valuation of these securities.

Level 3—unobservable inputs.

All of the Company’s financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based on other observable inputs. For Level 2 securities, the Company uses a third-party pricing service which provides documentation on an ongoing basis that includes, among other things, pricing information with respect to reference data, methodology, inputs summarized by asset class, pricing application and corroborative information. For Level 3 contingent consideration related to the acquisitions of Sividon Diagnostics GmbH ("Sividon") and Gateway Genomics, LLC ("Gateway"), the Company reassesses the fair value of expected contingent consideration and the corresponding liability each reporting period using the Monte Carlo Method, which is consistent with the initial measurement of the expected contingent consideration liability. This fair value measurement is considered a Level 3 measurement because the Company estimates projections during the expected measurement periods of approximately 12.25 years and 2 years for Sividon and Gateway, respectively, utilizing various potential pay-out scenarios. Probabilities were applied to each potential scenario and the resulting values were discounted using a rate that considers weighted average cost of capital as well as a specific risk premium associated with the riskiness of the contingent consideration itself, the related projections, and the overall business. The contingent consideration liabilities are classified as components of Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to contingent consideration liabilities are reflected in Selling, general and administrative expense in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Changes to the unobservable inputs could have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The following table sets forth the fair value of the financial assets and liabilities that the Company re-measures on a regular basis:
