We classify our debt securities as available-for-sale at the time of purchase and reevaluate such classification as of each balance sheet date. We consider all debt securities as funds available for use in current operations, including those with maturity dates beyond one year, and therefore classify these securities as current assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt securities included in Marketable securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets consist of securities with original maturities at the time of purchase greater than three months, and the remaining securities are included in Cash and cash equivalents.
As of October 31, 2022, and January 31, 2022, the fair value of debt securities in an unrealized loss position was $3.5 billion and $1.5 billion, respectively, the majority of which had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for less than 12 months. We did not recognize any credit or non-credit related losses related to our debt securities during the periods presented.
We sold $20 million of debt securities during the three months ended October 31, 2022, and we did not have any sales of debt securities during the three months ended October 31, 2021. We sold $48 million and $10 million of debt securities during the nine months ended October 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The realized gains and losses from the sales were immaterial.

Non-Marketable Equity Investments Measured Using the Measurement Alternative
Non-marketable equity investments measured using the measurement alternative include investments in privately held companies without readily determinable fair values in which we do not own a controlling interest or exercise significant influence. These investments are recorded at cost and are adjusted for observable transactions for same or similar securities of the same issuer or impairment events. The carrying values for our non-marketable equity investments are summarized below (in thousands):
October 31, 2022January 31, 2022
Total initial cost$209,867 $192,694 
Cumulative net unrealized gains (losses)55,706 63,949 
Carrying value$265,573 $256,643 
During the three months ended October 31, 2022, we recorded upward adjustments to the carrying value of non-marketable equity investments of $2 million, impairment losses of $2 million, and a gain of $4 million upon exiting a non-marketable equity investment. During the three months ended October 31, 2021, we recorded upward adjustments to the carrying value of non-marketable equity investments of $20 million and a non-cash gain of $12 million related to our acquisition of Zimit.
During the nine months ended October 31, 2022, we recorded upward adjustments to the carrying value of non-marketable equity investments of $8 million, impairment losses of $10 million, and a net loss of $2 million upon exiting a non-marketable equity investment. During the nine months ended October 31, 2021, we recorded upward adjustments to the carrying value of non-marketable equity investments of $34 million, impairment losses of $2 million, and a non-cash gain of $12 million related to our acquisition of Zimit.
Marketable Equity Investments

For the marketable equity investments held as of the end of each period, we recorded no material unrealized net gains or losses during the three months ended October 31, 2022, and we recorded net losses of $7 million during the three months ended October 31, 2021.
