Investments in Equity Securities at Modified Cost were $18.6 million and $21.7 million at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company performs a qualitative impairment analysis on a quarterly basis consisting of various factors such as earnings performance, current market conditions, changes in credit ratings, changes in the regulatory environment and other factors. If the qualitative analysis identifies the presence of impairment indicators, the Company estimates the fair value of the investment. If the estimated fair value is below the carrying value, the Company records an impairment in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of (Loss) Income to reduce the carrying value to the estimated fair value. When the Company identifies observable transactions of the same or similar securities to those held by the Company, the Company increases or decreases the carrying value to the observable transaction price. The Company did not recognize any changes in carrying value due to observable transactions for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The Company did not recognize any impairment on Equity Securities at Modified Cost for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 as a result of the Company’s impairment analysis. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company recognized no cumulative increases or decreases in the carrying value due to observable transactions and $1.3 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of cumulative impairments on Equity Securities at Modified Cost.
