Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s financial instruments include cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and debt under the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 7, Debt). The carrying amounts of its financial instruments, except for debt, approximate their fair value due to their short maturities, which is considered a Level 1 fair value measurement. The carrying value of the Company’s debt under the Credit Agreement approximates fair value due to its interest rate being calculated from observable quoted prices for similar instruments, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement.
Authoritative guidance defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions of what market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on reliability of the inputs as follows:
Level 1:    Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2:    Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3:    Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company did not have any financial instruments that were measured on a recurring basis as Level 1, 2 or 3.
The Company’s non-financial assets, which primarily consist of goodwill, intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and operating lease right-of-use assets, are not required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and instead are reported at their carrying amount. However, on a periodic basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying
amount may not be fully recoverable (and at least annually for goodwill), non-financial assets are assessed for impairment. If the fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying amount, an impairment charge is recorded to write down the asset to its fair value, which is considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
The assets and liabilities resulting from the Acquisitions (see Note 3, Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale) were recorded at fair values on a nonrecurring basis and are considered Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.
Long-lived assets that meet the held for sale criteria are reported at the lower of their carrying value or fair value, less estimated costs to sell. The estimated fair values of the company-owned or managed clinics classified as Held for Sale (see Note 3, Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale) were recorded at fair values on a nonrecurring basis and are based upon Level 2 inputs, which includes a potential buyer agreed upon selling price or Level 3 inputs, which include the multiple earnings approach using historical financial performance of the clinic and historical acquisition trends based on previous reacquired franchise clinic purchases. The fair value measurement of the assets held for sale was recorded as $2.3 million based upon Level 2 inputs and $17.1 million based upon Level 3 inputs. As a result, the Company maintains a valuation allowance of $3.1 million to adjust the carrying value of the disposal group to fair value less cost to sell as of September 30, 2024.
Long-lived assets classified as held and used where the asset group was not determined to be recoverable are tested for impairment. The asset group was determined to be the clinic level, as this is the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. The long-lived assets fair values were determined by the following: Level 1 inputs, which included observable inputs from executed lease termination agreements; Level 2 inputs where available, which included using a valuation multiple (e.g, price per square foot) based on observable prices for comparable long-lived assets; and Level 3 inputs, which included the multiple earnings approach using the Company's historical earnings trend data, comparable historical asset sales by the Company and franchisees that were not exact matches, and (for calculating the fair value of intangible assets specifically) the Company’s historical experience, future projections and comparable market data include future cash flows, long-term growth rates, attrition rates and discount rates.
The carrying values of these asset groups impaired to their fair value during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 included ROU assets of $2.1 million that were written down to $1.7 million determined by Level 1 and Level 2 inputs. The carrying values of these asset groups impaired to their fair value also included property and equipment, net of $2.5 million that were written down to $1.9 million and reacquired rights of $298,510 that were written down to $252,746 both determined by Level 3 inputs discussed above. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, included in the net loss, disposition and impairment on the condensed consolidated income statement for impairment of long-lived assets classified as held and used where the asset group was not determined to be recoverable.
