CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS AND INVESTMENTS:

The Company’s portfolio of marketable fixed income securities consists of U.S. Government bonds and corporate bonds. The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity (maturity at the purchase date) of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The Company classifies its remaining debt security investments as available-for-sale. These debt securities are carried at fair market value, with unrealized gains and losses reported in shareholders’ equity. Gains or losses on securities sold are based on the specific identification method.

Minority Equity Investments

The Company’s portfolio of minority equity investments consists of investments in privately held early-stage companies primarily motivated for the Company to gain early access to new technology and are passive in nature in that the Company typically does not seek to obtain representation on the boards of directors of the companies in which it invests. Minority equity investments are included in investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had minority equity investments in five entities with a total carrying value of $14.0 million accounted for as equity securities without readily determinable fair values as compared to four minority equity investments with a total carrying value of $12.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized an impairment in the value of two of its minority equity investments, an impairment of an equity security investment in the amount of $3.0 million and an impairment of a long-term convertible note investment of $4.0 million which had been acquired during the year ended December 31, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company did not recognize an impairment in the value of its minority equity investments. The impairment in the value of minority equity investments are included in the other (loss) income, net line item on the Consolidated Statements of Income.
