Net realized gains on
available-for-sale
debt securities of $7.6 million (2025: $42.5 million loss, 2024: $3.7 million loss) primarily resulted from the reclassification of cumulative unrealized foreign-exchange
 
adjustments (March 31, 2026: $7.3 million gain, March 31, 2025: $42.5 million loss and March 31, 2024: $3.4 million loss respectively) from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income upon the maturity or disposal of these securities. Refer to “Note 7 – Shareholders’ equity for additional information. The gross realized gains and losses are mainly due to the movement in US and foreign government bonds.

Management evaluates debt securities
available-for-sale
in unrealized loss positions to determine whether the impairment is due to credit-related factors or noncredit-related factors. Consideration is given to (1) the extent to which the fair value is less than cost, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, and (3) the intent and ability of the Group to retain its investment in the security for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. Management believes that the unrealized losses detailed in the previous tables are due to noncredit-related factors, including changes in market interest rates and other market conditions. The fair value is expected to recover as the securities approach their maturity date or repricing date or if market yields for such investments decline.
The allowance for credit losses was $1.0 million as of March 31, 2026. No allowance for credit losses was recorded as of March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses was measured using probability of default and loss given default assumptions. The Group has elected to write off accrued interest receivables by recognizing credit loss expense. There was no accrued interest reversed against interest income for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Accrued interest receivable on
available-for-sale
securities, included in “
Prepaid expenses and other current assets
” in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, totaled $21.1 million and $31.2 million at March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Group has elected the practical expedient to exclude the accrued interest from the estimate of credit losses.
