Cost Method Investments
Through its iTwin Ventures initiative, the Company invests in technology development companies, generally in the form of equity interests or convertible notes. In March 2023, the Company acquired an equity interest in Worldsensing, a leading global connectivity hardware platform company for infrastructure monitoring, via contribution of its sensemetrics’ Thread connectivity device business (the “Thread business”) and cash. The non‑cash contribution of the Thread business resulted in an insignificant gain, which was recorded in Other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (see Note 20). In July 2022, the Company acquired an equity interest in Teralytics Holdings AG (“Teralytics”), a global platform company for human mobility analysis.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company recognized impairment charges of $7,318 to write-down certain cost method investments to their fair value primarily as a result of the investees’ decline in operating performance and the overall decline in the venture investment valuation environment. The impairment charges were recorded in Other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (see Note 20).
During the third quarter of 2023, the Company recognized gains on investments of $2,360, which was recorded in Other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (see Note 20).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company invested a total of $12,591, including $8,928 of cash and non-cash for our investment in Worldsensing. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company invested a total of $14,921, including $11,130 of cash and non-cash for our investment in Teralytics. As of September 30, 2023, our investment balance in Worldsensing and Teralytics was $8,928 and $7,270, respectively. As of December 31, 2022, our investment balance in Teralytics was $11,130.
