The following table summarizes the fair values of investments classified as marketable securities by contractual maturity date as of January 31, 2022:

Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

As of both January 31, 2022 and 2021, Autodesk had no material unrealized losses, individually and in the aggregate, for marketable debt securities that are in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. Total unrealized gains for securities with net gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were not material for fiscal 2022.

Autodesk monitors all marketable debt securities for potential credit losses by reviewing indicators such as, but not limited to, current credit rating, change in credit rating, credit outlook, and default risk. There were no allowances for credit losses as of both January 31, 2022 and 2021. There were no write offs of accrued interest receivables for fiscal 2022 and 2021.

There were no realized gain or loss for the sales or redemptions of debt securities during fiscal 2022. The sales or redemptions of debt securities in fiscal 2021 resulted in a net gain of $0.6 million. There were no realized gain or loss for the sales or redemptions of debt securities during fiscal 2020. Realized gains and losses from the sale or redemption of marketable securities are recorded in “Interest and other expense, net” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities for fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020 were $37.8 million, $17.0 million, and $27.4 million, respectively.

Strategic investment equity securities
    
As of January 31, 2022 and 2021, Autodesk had $133.7 million and $134.1 million, respectively, in direct investments in privately held companies. These strategic investment equity securities do not have readily determined fair values and Autodesk uses the measurement alternative to account for the adjustment to these investments in a given quarter. If Autodesk determines that an impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value.

Adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic investment equity securities with no readily determined fair values measured using the measurement alternative were as follows:
 Fiscal Year EndedCumulative Amount as of
202220212020January 31, 2022
Upward adjustments (1)$7.2 $6.6 $3.2 $23.2 
Negative adjustments, including impairments (1)(16.6)(51.6)(4.2)(77.2)
Net adjustments$(9.4)$(45.0)$(1.0)$(54.0)
____________________ 
(1)Included in “Interest and other expense, net” on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Autodesk does not consider the remaining investments to be impaired as of January 31, 2022.

During fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, Autodesk recognized gains of $8.1 million on the disposition of strategic investment equity securities. During both fiscal years ended January 31, 2021 and 2020, Autodesk recognized no gains on the dispositions of strategic investment equity securities.

Foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges

Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts to reduce the exchange rate impact on a portion of the net revenue or operating expense of certain anticipated transactions. These currency collars and forward contracts are designated and documented as cash flow hedges. The notional amounts of these contracts are presented net settled and were $1.08 billion at January 31, 2022, and $1.14 billion at January 31, 2021. Outstanding contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The majority of the net loss of $24.2 million remaining in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as of January 31, 2022, is expected to be recognized into earnings within the next 24 months.
The location and amount of gain or loss recognized in income on cash flow hedges together with the total amount of income or expense presented in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations where the effects of the hedge are recorded were as follows for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2022 and 2021:

Interest rate locks designated as cash flow hedges

During fiscal 2022, Autodesk entered into interest rate lock arrangements to mitigate the risk of changes in interest rates prior to completion of a debt offering. The interest rate locks hedged the cash flow risk for each of the interest payments on the planned fixed-rate debt issue. The interest rate lock hedges were terminated in October 2021 in connection with the debt offering completed in that month. See Note 8, “Borrowing Arrangements,” for further discussion. The aggregate fair value of the terminated interest rate lock hedges of $4.0 million, net of tax of $0.9 million, was classified as an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income and is amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the related debt issuance. The Company had cash inflows of $4.0 million in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022, associated with the termination of the interest rate lock arrangements, included in “Other financing activities” in our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce the exchange rate risk associated primarily with foreign currency denominated receivables, payables, and cash. The notional amounts of these foreign currency contracts are presented net settled and were $542.2 million at January 31, 2022, and $434.5 million at January 31, 2021.
