Note 13 — Non-Marketable Investments

At September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the carrying value of the Company’s non-marketable investments, which were composed of interests in technology-related private equity funds, was $0.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively, and is included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.   

The Company’s non-marketable investments are accounted for using the equity method as the investments are limited partnerships and the Company has an ownership interest in excess of 5% and, accordingly, the Company records its share of the investee’s operating results each period. Gains from non-marketable investments were zero and $2.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, and are included in Gain (loss) on investments, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Gains and losses from non-marketable investments were immaterial during the three months ended September 30, 2019. Losses from non-marketable investments were $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company uses the cumulative earnings approach to classify distributions received from equity method investments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, $4.3 million was distributed from the funds to the Company. This amount was included within Other investing activity in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as it was considered a return on investment. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, no distributions were received from the funds.
