15. Fair Value

Fair Value Measurements

Contingent consideration related to the Company's business combinations is estimated based on the present value of a weighted payout probability at the measurement date, which falls within Level 3 on the fair value hierarchy. The current portion of contingent consideration is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and the noncurrent portion of contingent consideration is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consisted of the following:

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were no transfers into, out of, or between levels of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Disclosures

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are carried at amortized cost. Substantially all of the Company's notes receivable are secured, and the Company provides for allowances when it believes that certain notes receivable may not be collectible. The carrying value of the Company's notes receivable, net approximates fair value and was approximately $6.5 million and $5.2 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. On the fair value hierarchy, Level 3 inputs are used to estimate the fair value of these notes receivable.

Debt Obligations

Outstanding debt obligations (see Note 8. Debt Obligations) are reflected in the Company's Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value since the Company did not elect to remeasure debt obligations to fair value at the end of each reporting period.

The fair value of the term facility was estimated to be $651.9 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 and was estimated using binding and non-binding quoted prices in an active secondary market, which considers the credit risk and market related conditions, and is within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying values of the other long-term debt obligations approximate fair value due to mechanisms in the credit agreements that adjust the applicable interest rates and the lack of a market for these debt obligations.
