  1. Fair Value

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and fair value measurement level were as follows (in thousands):

LevelJune 26,2026December 26,2025
Assets
Cash surrender value of life insurance2$31,076$28,893
Forward exchange contracts216—
Total assets at fair value$31,092$28,893
Liabilities
Contingent consideration3$1,591$1,649
Deferred compensation28,8408,336
Forward exchange contracts2—268
Total liabilities at fair value$10,431$10,253

Contracts insuring the lives of certain employees who are eligible to participate in certain non-qualified pension and deferred compensation plans are held in trust. Cash surrender value of the contracts is based on performance measurement funds that shadow the deferral investment allocations made by participants in certain deferred compensation plans. The deferred compensation liability balances are valued based on amounts allocated by participants to the underlying performance measurement funds.

Contingent consideration liabilities represent the estimated value (using a probability-weighted expected return approach) of future payments to be made to previous owners of certain acquired businesses based on future revenues.

The fair value of variable rate borrowings approximates carrying value. The Company uses significant other observable inputs to estimate fair value (level 2 of the fair value hierarchy) based on the present value of future cash flows and rates that would be available for issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.
