In prior years, the Company made minority ownership strategic investments. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s strategic investments in non-publicly traded companies was $19.0 million and $32.0 million, respectively. These investments are measured at initial cost, minus impairment, if any, and plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer. Cumulative impairments of strategic investments in equity investments without readily determinable fair values still held as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $23.0 million and $15.0 million, respectively.

As a part of the acquisition of each of the Company’s other investments, the Company determines whether an investment or other interest is considered a variable interest. As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company held an interest in one entity that was concluded to be a variable interest for which the Company was not the primary beneficiary as the Company did not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the variable interest entity. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying value and maximum exposure to loss of the Company’s variable interests were zero and $13.0 million, respectively, which are recorded in other investments in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company performed qualitative assessments of potential indicators of impairment and determined that indicators existed for certain of its other investments with carrying amounts of $13.0 million, $12.9 million and $5.0 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the anticipated funding for one of its other investments was not secured within the expected timeframe. While no single event or factor was solely responsible for the impairments in each year, the Company considered the underlying companies’ operating cash flow requirements over the next year, liquid asset balances to fund those requirements and the underlying companies’ inability to raise funds as indicators of impairment. Due to these indicators, the Company assessed the valuation of these investments and determined the fair values to be negligible and the impairments to be other-than-temporary in nature. As a result, the Company recorded impairment expenses of $13.0 million for one investment for the year ended December 31, 2024, $12.9 million for two investments for the year ended December 31, 2023 and $5.0 million for one investment for the year ended December 31, 2022. The impairment expenses were recorded within impairment of other investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss and as reductions to the investment balances within other investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
