Derivatives

Our primary market exposure is to interest rate risk, specifically U.S. treasury and mortgage interest rates, due to their impact on mortgage-related assets and commitments. We use forward sales commitments on whole loans and mortgage-backed securities to manage and reduce this risk. We do not have any derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments.

Interest Rate Lock Commitments—Interest rate lock commitments ("IRLCs") represent an agreement to extend credit to a mortgage loan applicant. We commit (subject to loan approval) to fund the loan at the specified rate, regardless of changes in market interest rates between the commitment date and the funding date. Outstanding IRLCs are subject to interest rate risk and related price risk during the period from the date of commitment through the loan funding date or expiration date. Loan commitments generally range between 30 and 90 days and the borrower is not obligated to obtain the loan. Therefore, IRLCs are subject to fallout risk, which occurs when approved borrowers choose not to close on the underlying loans. We review our commitment-to-closing ratio (pull-through rate) as part of an estimate of the number of mortgage loans that will fund according to the IRLCs.

Forward Sales Commitments—We are exposed to interest rate and price risk on loans held for sale from the funding date until the date the loan is sold. Forward sales commitments on whole loans and mortgage-backed securities are used to fix the forward sales price that will be realized at the sale of each loan.

The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of IRLCs is the pull-through rate. Significant changes in the input could result in a significant change in fair value measurement.

There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 financial instruments during the period.

See Note 14 for the carrying amount and estimated fair value of our convertible senior notes.

Assets and liabilities recognized or disclosed at fair value on a nonrecurring basis include items such as property and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets, cost method investments, and other assets. These assets are measured at fair value if determined to be impaired. During the period ended March 31, 2020, we determined that the fair value of our cost method investment in a privately-held company was less than the carrying value of $2,000 based on a variety of impairment indicators including the historical performance and future prospects of the company; therefore, we recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $1,420 related to this investment. The impairment charge is included in Impairment costs within our consolidated statement of cash flows and is included in Other income (expense), net within our consolidated statements of operations. We did not record any other significant nonrecurring fair value measurements after initial recognition for the period ended March 31, 2020.

The following table summarizes the cost or amortized cost, gross unrealized gains and losses, and estimated fair market value of our cash, money market funds, restricted cash, and available-for-sale investments.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the aggregate fair value of available-for-sale debt securities in an unrealized loss position totaled $2,094 and $46,550, with aggregate unrealized losses of $6 and $22, respectively. We have evaluated our portfolio of available-for-sale debt securities based on credit quality indicators for expected credit losses and do not believe there are any expected credit losses. Our portfolio consists of U.S. treasury securities, all with high quality credit ratings issued by various credit agencies.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we had accrued interest of $164 and $183, respectively, on our available-for-sale investments, of which we have recorded no expected credit losses. Accrued interest receivable is presented within other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.
