Investments in Available-for-sale Securities

    Our available-for-sale investment securities historically consisted of corporate bonds, government bonds and U.S. treasury securities and were considered “investment grade” and were carried at fair value.

As of March 31, 2024, we did not have any investment securities. As of December 31, 2023, the amortized cost, unrealized holding gains (losses) and fair value of our available-for-sale investment securities were as follows (in thousands):

The amortized cost of the debt securities are adjusted for the amortization of premiums computed under the effective interest method. Such amortization is included in interest expense, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

We assess our investment in available-for-sale debt securities for impairment each reporting period. If an unrealized loss exists, we determine whether any portion of the decline in fair value below the amortized cost basis is credit-related by reviewing several factors, including, but not limited to, the extent of the fair value decline and changes in the financial condition of the issuer. We record an impairment for credit-related losses through an allowance, limited to the amount of the unrealized loss. If we either intend to sell or it is more likely than not we will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated
recovery, any allowance is written off and the amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through a charge against net earnings. Unrealized gains and non-credit-related unrealized losses are recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive (loss) income. We did not have any investments in available-for-sale debt securities in unrealized loss positions as of December 31, 2023.

Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method. There have been no realized gains or losses on the disposal of these investments. All short-term investment securities are callable within one year.

Investments in Non-Marketable Equity Securities

We own approximately 20% non-marketable equity interest in a nonpublic company and entered into a three-year distribution agreement where we have the exclusive rights to market, sell and distribute the company's products in exchange for a cash payment of $3.3 million. In addition, we were granted an exclusive license for all of the seller's intellectual property. At the expiration of the distribution agreement we have the right but not the obligation to acquire the remaining interest in the business.

We apply the equity method of accounting for investments when we determine we have a significant influence, but not a controlling interest in the investee. We determine whether we have significant influence by considering key factors such as ownership interest, representation on the board of directors, participation in policy making decisions, business relationship and material intra-entity transactions, among other factors. Our equity method investment is reported at cost and adjusted each period for our share of the investee's income or (loss) and dividend paid, if any. We eliminate any intra-entity profits to the extent of our beneficial interest. We report our proportionate share of the investee's income or (loss) resulting from this investment in other income, net in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying value of our equity method investment is reported in other assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 10: Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets and Other Assets). We assess our equity method investments for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the investment may not be recoverable. Our recorded share of the investee's loss was not material for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. We did not receive any dividend distributions from this investment during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Our non-marketable equity method investment consists of the following (in thousands):
