Investments, All Other Investments [Abstract]

In February 2022, the joint venture formed by MakeSpace Labs, Inc. and us (the "MakeSpace JV") entered into an agreement with Clutter, Inc. ("Clutter") pursuant to which the equityholders of the MakeSpace JV contributed their ownership interests in the MakeSpace JV and Clutter’s shareholders contributed their ownership interests in Clutter to create a newly formed venture (the "Clutter JV"). In exchange for our 49.99% interest in the MakeSpace JV, we received an approximate 27% interest in the Clutter JV (the "Clutter Transaction"). As a result of the Clutter Transaction, we recognized a gain related to our contributed interest in the MakeSpace JV of approximately $35,800, which was recorded to Other, net, a component of Other expense (income), net during the first quarter of 2022.

In April 2021, we closed on an agreement to form a joint venture (the "Web Werks JV") with the shareholders of Web Werks India Private Limited ("Web Werks"), a colocation data center provider in India. In connection with the formation of the Web Werks JV, we made an initial investment of approximately 3,750,000 Indian rupees (or approximately $50,100, based upon the exchange rate between the United States dollar and Indian rupee as of the closing date of the initial investment) in exchange for a noncontrolling interest in the form of convertible preference shares in the Web Werks JV (the "Initial Web Werks JV Investment"). Under the terms of the Web Werks JV shareholder agreement, we are required to make additional investments over a period ending May 2023 totaling approximately 7,500,000 Indian rupees. In August 2022, we made an additional investment of approximately 3,750,000 Indian rupees (or approximately $46,100, based on the exchange rate between the United States dollar and Indian rupee as of the date of the additional investment) in exchange for an additional interest in the form of convertible preference shares in the Web Werks JV (the "Second Web Werks JV Investment"). The shares we received from the Initial Web Werks JV Investment and the Second Web Werks JV Investment are convertible into a to-be-determined amount of equity shares determined by a valuation based on the earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") of the Web Werks JV for the trailing twelve months ending July 31, 2022. Subsequent to the Second Web Werks JV Investment, the shareholders of Web Werks retained control of the financial and operating decisions of the Web Werks JV through their control of Web Werks' board of directors. As we do not control the board of directors or the key management decisions of the Web Werks JV, we account for our interest in the Web Werks JV as an equity method investment.

The following joint ventures are accounted for as equity method investments and are presented as a component of Other within Other assets, net in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
