The following table summarizes the contract maturity of the available-for-sale securities we held as of December 31, 2023:

One year or less
    
68
%
After one year but within two years

After two years but within three and a half years

%
Total
    
100
%


As illustrated above, at December 31, 2023, 92 percent of our available-for-sale securities had a maturity of less than two years.


All of our available-for-sale securities are available to us for use in our current operations. As a result, we categorize all of these securities as current assets even though the stated maturity of some individual securities may be one year or more beyond the balance sheet date.


We invest in debt securities with strong credit ratings and an investment grade rating at or above A-1, P-1 or F-1 by Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s or Fitch, respectively.


At December 31, 2023, we had an ownership interest of less than 20 percent in seven private companies and three public companies with which we conduct business.

Our publicly traded equity securities are included in other current assets. We recognize publicly traded equity securities at fair value. In the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $4.2 million net unrealized loss in our consolidated statements of operations related to changes in the fair value of our investments in publicly traded companies.

(3)
Our privately held equity securities are included in deposits and other assets. We recognize our privately held equity securities at cost minus impairments, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer, which are Level 3 inputs. In the year ended December 31, 2023, we recorded a $2.6 million net unrealized gain in our consolidated statements of operations related to changes in the fair value of our investments in privately held companies.

We believe that the decline in value of these securities is temporary and is primarily related to the change in market interest rates since purchase rather than underlying credit deterioration for any of the issuers. We believe it is more likely than not that we will be able to hold our debt securities with declines in value to maturity. Therefore, we intend to hold these securities to maturity and anticipate full recovery of our debt securities’ amortized cost basis at maturity.
