Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

In October 2022 and March 2023, the Company entered into multiple pay-fixed receive-variable interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy in connection with the term loans under a certain credit agreement (see Note 9 - Credit Agreement). The Company elected to not designate the interest rate swaps as hedging instruments for accounting purposes and recorded both realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with the interest rate swaps immediately through earnings in interest expense in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. The fair value of the outstanding interest rate swaps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis based on the expected cash flows of the interest rate swaps. The Company has determined that the significant inputs, such as interest yield curve and discount rate, used to value its interest rate swaps fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. All interest rate swaps were settled during 2023 and the Company had no outstanding interest rate swaps as of December 31, 2023. The Company recorded a net gain of $15.8 million and a net gain of $5.9 million related to the interest rate swaps during the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash paid for or received from the settlements of the interest rate swaps are presented in net cash provided by operating activities and the supplemental disclosure of cash paid for interest, net in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows.

Non-Marketable Equity Securities Measured at Net Asset Value

The Company held equity interests in certain private equity funds of $56.7 million and $32.3 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which are measured using the net asset value practical expedient. Under the net asset value practical expedient, the Company records investments based on the proportionate share of the underlying funds’ net asset value. These investments are included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

These funds vary in investment strategies and generally have an initial term of 7 to 10 years, which may be extended for 2 to 3 additional years with the applicable approval. These investments are subject to certain restrictions regarding transfers and withdrawals and generally cannot be redeemed with the funds. Distributions from the funds will be received as the underlying investments are liquidated. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to the carrying value of these investments of $56.7 million and the unfunded commitments of $41.2 million as of December 31, 2023.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company made total capital contributions of $17.9 million related to these investments. The Company recorded an immaterial unrealized gain related to these investments for each year presented.

Non-Marketable Equity Securities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

In the second quarter of 2022, the Company purchased certain non-marketable equity securities for total proceeds of $38.0 million. Non-marketable equity securities are investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values. The Company elected the measurement alternative to account for these investments. Under the measurement alternative, the carrying value of the non-marketable equity securities are adjusted based on price changes from observable transactions of identical or similar securities of the same issuer or for impairment. Any changes in carrying value are recorded within other income (expense), net in the Company's consolidated statement of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $28.0 million related to these investments. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of these investments was $10.1 million, which was included in other assets in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.
