5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company uses the following three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring the fair values for certain of its assets and liabilities:

Level 1 is based on observable inputs, such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2 is based on inputs other than the quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3 is based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions.

This hierarchy requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. Items measured at fair value on a recurring basis include money market funds.

The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the inputs the Company utilized to determine such fair value (in thousands):

Equity securities include investments made via publicly-traded securities. The Company has determined that the estimated fair value of its equity securities is reported as Level 1 financial assets as they are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company made a $20.0 million investment in equity securities of a publicly-traded company. The Company records this investment at fair value within short-term investments, which was $0 as of September 30, 2024. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded an unrealized loss of $0 and an unrealized loss of $0 due to the change in fair value of the equity securities in interest and other expense, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded unrealized losses of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due to the change in fair value of the equity securities in interest and other (expense) income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Other investments include investments made via convertible debt instruments totaling $2.0 million which is recorded in other noncurrent assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The other investments are reported as a Level 3 financial asset because the methodology used to develop the estimated fair values includes significant unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions. Assumptions used in fair valuing convertible debt instruments include the rights and obligations of the notes the Company holds as well as the probability of a qualified financing event, acquisition, or change in control. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize any gains or losses on convertible debt instruments.

The 2027 Notes are valued as a single liability measured at amortized cost, as no other features require bifurcation and recognition as derivatives.

There were no transfers between fair value measure levels during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. The following table presents information about the Company’s movement in Level 3 assets measured at fair value (in thousands):
