We classify our marketable securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because we determine their fair values using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

Gross unrealized gains and losses on our marketable securities were immaterial in the aggregate as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. We evaluated all available evidence and did not recognize any allowance for credit losses for our marketable securities as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. We continue to monitor the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on expected credit losses.

The fair value of our marketable securities by contractual maturity is as follows (in thousands):


	September 30, 2020
Due in one year or less	$	731,474
Due after one to five years	264,918
Total	$	996,392

Net realized gains and losses from sales of available-for-sale securities were not material for any period presented.
