Q: Would you please explain what the following means in plainer English, and in particular what could cause such large and sudden changes in the "fair value of contingent considerations". Do you think the 20+% drop in share price is a realistic reaction to the news? Thank you.
Offsetting higher operating income during the first nine months of Fiscal 2017 were net financing costs which increased to $5.3 million, resulting from changes in the fair value of contingent considerations which amounted to $5.1 million, and on higher amortization from the acquired intangible assets.
