INVESTMENTS INVESTMENTS
From time to time the Company makes investments in entities of strategic relevance. These investments primarily consist of illiquid and non-controlling positions in entities with no readily determinable fair value, which are carried at cost less any impairment and are adjusted for observable price changes from orderly transactions for identical or similar securities. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of investments made by the Company was $14.2 million and $31.0 million, respectively.
The Company, through MIH East acquired a minority interest in TISEG, the carrying amount of this investment was $17.3 million at December 31, 2023. In July 2024, the Company acquired additional shares for $1.6 million and recorded a loss of $2.0 million to account for the observable price change in the value of its prior investment. As of December 31, 2024 the Company owned 29.46% of the total outstanding shares of TISEG and the carrying amount was $16.8 million. An ownership interest in an entity over 20% generally leads to a presumption that the investor has the ability to exercise significant influence over the investee, requiring the investee to be accounted for by the investor under the equity method of accounting. The Company concluded it did not have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee and did not have any representative or designee on the investee’s board of directors. Further, the equity method of accounting would require that the investee routinely provide the Company with certain non-public information and information not available to its other shareholders, convert the investee’s results to GAAP and prepare a full purchase price allocation which was not available to the Company. Therefore, the Company accounted for its investment as an equity investment under the measurement alternative.
On June 5, 2025, the Company acquired the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share capital of TISEG not already owned by MIH East. The Company paid a total cash consideration of £51.5 million ($69.7 million based on British pound/U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.35356) or £22.50 for each share MIH East did not previously own. The Company recorded a gain of $8.6 million within other, net under non-operating (expense) income in the condensed consolidated statement of operations to account for the observable price change in the value of its prior investment.
