Equity Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values

In 2020, we entered into a strategic partnership with MLSI, a transportation management systems company. We are collaborating with MLSI to develop a cloud-based transportation management system using MLSI's SaaS technology which we have agreed to license. In June 2022, we paid MLSI $20.0 million for additional shares of its preferred stock. This minority equity investment is being accounted for under ASC 321 using the measurement alternative, and is recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the value of our investment was $86.8 million and $38.2 million, respectively. We record changes in the value of this investment, based on events that occur that would indicate the value of our investment in MLSI has changed, in gain or loss on investments in equity securities on the consolidated statements of income. During second quarter 2022, investments by third-parties resulted in the remeasurement of our investment in MLSI, and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized an unrealized gain of $28.6 million. No gains or losses were recorded in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. At June 30, 2022, cumulative unrealized gains on our investment in MLSI totaled $56.8 million.

We own strategic minority equity investments in autonomous technology companies, which are being accounted for under ASC 321 and are recorded in other noncurrent assets on the consolidated condensed balance sheets. We record changes in the value of these investments, based on the share prices reported by Nasdaq, in gain or loss on investments in equity securities on the consolidated statements of income. We recognized an unrealized loss of $4.5 million and $14.3 million on these investments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and an unrealized gain of $20.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
