Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] |
INVESTMENTS | INVESTMENTS Investments in Equity Securities Marketable Equity Investments Cadence’s investments in marketable equity securities consist of purchased shares of publicly held companies and are included in prepaid expenses and other in Cadence’s consolidated balance sheets. Changes in the fair value of these investments are recorded to other income (expense), net in Cadence’s consolidated income statements. The carrying value of marketable equity investments was $90.4 million and $80.6 million as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. Non-Marketable Equity Investments Cadence’s investments in non-marketable equity securities generally consist of stock or other instruments of privately held entities and are included in other assets on Cadence’s consolidated balance sheets. Cadence holds a 16% interest in a privately held company that is accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of this investment was $97.5 million and $111.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Cadence records its proportionate share of net income from the investee, offset by amortization of basis differences, to other income, net in Cadence’s consolidated income statements. Cadence recognized losses of $2.5 million, $2.7 million and $3.6 million during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cadence also holds other non-marketable investments in privately held companies where Cadence does not have the ability to exercise significant influence and the fair value of the investments is not readily determinable. The carrying value of these investments was $26.6 million and $27.2 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Gains and losses on these investments were not material to Cadence’s consolidated financial statements for the periods presented. The portion of gains and losses included in Cadence’s consolidated income statements related to equity securities still held at the end of the period were as follows:
