As of December 31, 2019, the Company did not have any available-for-sale securities in an unrealized net loss position.

 

The Company typically invests in highly-rated securities, and its investment policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer. The policy generally requires investments to be investment grade, with the primary objective of minimizing the potential risk of principal loss. Fair values were determined for each individual security in the investment portfolio. When evaluating an investment for expected credit losses, the Company reviews factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below its cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer and any changes thereto, changes in market interest rates, and the Company’s intent to sell, or whether it is more likely than not it will be required to sell, the investment before recovery of the investment’s cost basis. The Company also regularly reviews its investments in an unrealized loss position and evaluates the current expected credit loss by considering factors such as historical experience, market data, issuer-specific factors, and current economic conditions. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, the Company did not recognize any expected credit losses. The Company has no current requirement or intent to sell the securities in an unrealized loss position. The Company expects to recover up to (or beyond) the initial cost of investment for securities held. The Company recorded gross realized gains of less than $0.1 million and gross realized losses of $0.3 million from the sale or maturity of available-for-sale investments during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company did not record any gross realized gains or losses from the sale or maturity of available-for-sale investments during the year ended December 31, 2019 and 2018.

 

Fair Value Disclosures

The Company uses certain assumptions that market participants would use to determine the fair value of an asset or liability in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The identification of market participant assumptions provides a basis for determining what inputs are to be used for pricing each asset or liability. A fair value hierarchy has been established which gives precedence to fair value measurements calculated using observable inputs over those using unobservable inputs. This hierarchy prioritized the inputs into three broad levels as follows:

 

Level 1:  Quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments

 

Level 2:  Other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments)

 

Level 3:  Significant unobservable inputs (including assumptions in determining the fair value of certain investments)

 

Money market funds are highly liquid investments and are actively traded. The pricing information on these investment instruments are readily available and can be independently validated as of the measurement date. This approach results in the classification of these securities as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy.

To estimate the fair value of Level 2 debt securities as of December 31, 2020, the Company’s primary pricing service relies on inputs from multiple industry-recognized pricing sources to determine the price for each investment. Corporate debt and U.S. government agency securities are systematically priced by this service as of the close of business each business day. If the primary pricing service does not price a specific asset a secondary pricing service is utilized.

To estimate the fair value of Level 3 warrant investments as of December 31, 2020, the Company uses a standard Black-Scholes option pricing model, using a class volatility consistent with the seniority and preference rights of the underlying preferred stock. Key assumptions used in the valuation include the privately held company’s preferred stock price, warrant exercise price, equity volatility, expected term of warrant, risk-free interest rates, and details specific to the warrant. The Company recognizes the changes in the fair value of this warrant in “Other income, net” on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
