Our financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, investments in mutual funds and derivative instruments. The maximum credit exposure of our cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and investments in mutual funds is their carrying values as of the balance sheet date.

We invest in a manner that aligns with our restrictive cash investment practices, preserves capital and provides liquidity, while minimizing our exposure to credit risk. We limit our exposure to credit loss by investing with multiple financial and governmental institutions that we believe are high-quality and credit-worthy.

We do not require collateral from our clients; however, no single client represented more than 3.5% of our total revenues for the six months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024.

The Hosted Platform is a subscription-based service that provides client access to various combinations of products and services including workstations, portfolio analytics and enterprise solutions. We also derive revenues through the CGS platform, a subscription-based service that provides access to a database of universally recognized security identifiers and related descriptive data for issuers and their financial instruments (referred to as the "Identifier Platform").</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The majority of each of our contracts with clients, whether for Hosted Platform or Identifier Platform services, represents a single performance obligation covering a series of distinct products and services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer to the client. The primary nature of the promise to the client is to provide daily access to each of these data and analytics platforms over the associated contractual term. These platforms provide integrated financial information, analytical applications and industry-leading service for the investment community. Based on the nature of the products and services offered by these platforms, we apply an output time-based measure of progress as the client is simultaneously receiving and consuming the benefits of the respective platform. We recognize revenue for the majority of these platforms in accordance with the 'as invoiced' practical expedient, because the consideration that we have the right to invoice corresponds directly with the value of our performance to date. There are no significant judgments that would impact the timing of revenue recognition. </span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Due to our election of the practical expedient, we do not consider payment terms as a financing component within a client contract when, at contract inception, the period between the transfer of the promised services to the client and the payment timing for those services will be one year or less.</span></div><div style="margin-top:10pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The majority of client contracts have a duration of one year, or the amount we are entitled to receive corresponds directly with the value of our performance obligations completed to date.

In determining fair value, the use of various valuation methodologies, including market, income and cost approaches are permissible.

The hierarchy ranks the reliability of the inputs, based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement, used to determine fair value. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect its placement within the fair value hierarchy.

We utilized the income approach to measure fair value for our foreign exchange forward contracts. The income approach uses pricing models that rely on market observable inputs such as spot, forward and interest rates, as well as credit default swap spreads. To estimate fair value for our interest rate swap agreement, we utilized a present value of future cash flows, leveraging a model-derived valuation that uses observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves.

These liabilities reflect the present value of potential future payments that are contingent upon the achievement of certain specified milestones. The acquisition date fair value of the contingent liabilities for fiscal 2025 and 2023 was $21.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively, and was valued using a scenario-based method. This method incorporates unobservable inputs and assumptions made by management, including the probability of achieving specified milestones, expected time until payment and the discount rate. The fair value of the contingent liabilities is reduced by milestone achievement and remeasured each reporting period until the contingencies are resolved, with any changes in fair value recorded in SG&amp;A within the Consolidated Statements of Income. Aside from milestone achievement, the remaining changes in the fair value of the contingent liabilities from their respective acquisition dates through February 28, 2025 were driven by the passage of time, with no </span></div><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:9pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">changes made to key assumptions used in our fair value estimates.
