Investment in equity securities
During the third quarter of 2019, we made an investment in Stabilis Energy, Inc. (“Stabilis”) by converting $7.0 of a note receivable from Stabilis into an investment in their company stock. As of September 30, 2020, the value of the investment was $3.8. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the gain on investment in equity securities was $0.7, while for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the loss on investment was $3.1. Gains and losses for this investment in equity securities were recorded in unrealized loss on investment in equity securities in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
We categorize our financial assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable to unobservable. Level 2 inputs represent other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. The Stabilis investment is measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2020 using Level 2 inputs.

This investment is operated and managed by our joint venture partner and as such, we do not have control over the joint venture and therefore is not consolidated.
