The amortized cost and fair value of the Company’s investment securities at March 31, 2017, by contractual maturity, are shown in the next table. Securities not due on a single contractual maturity date, such as collateralized mortgage obligations, are classified in the period of final contractual maturity. Expected maturities may differ from contractual maturities because issuers may have the right to call or prepay obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties.

The Company performs valuations of the investment securities on a monthly basis. Moreover, the Company conducts quarterly reviews to identify and evaluate each investment in an unrealized loss position for other-than-temporary impairment. Any portion of a decline in value associated with credit loss is recognized in the statements of operations with the remaining noncredit-related component recognized in other comprehensive income (loss). A credit loss is determined by assessing whether the amortized cost basis of the security will be recovered by comparing the present value of cash flows expected to be collected from the security, discounted at the rate equal to the yield used to accrete current and prospective beneficial interest for the security. The shortfall of the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected in relation to the amortized cost basis is considered to be the “credit loss.” Other-than-temporary impairment analysis is based on estimates that depend on market conditions and are subject to further change over time. In addition, while the Company believes that the methodology used to value these exposures is reasonable, the methodology is subject to continuing refinement, including those made as a result of market developments. Consequently, it is reasonably possible that changes in estimates or conditions could result in the need to recognize additional other-than-temporary impairment charges in the future.

Most of the investments ($849.8 million, amortized cost, or 99.5%) with an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2017 consist of securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury or U.S. government-sponsored agencies, all of which are highly liquid securities that have a large and efficient secondary market. Their aggregate losses and their variability from period to period are the result of changes in market conditions, and not due to the repayment capacity or creditworthiness of the issuers or guarantors of such securities.

The remaining investment ($4.7 million, amortized cost, or 0.5%) with an unrealized loss position at March 31, 2017 consists of an obligation issued by the Puerto Rico Highways and Transportation Authority ("PRHTA") secured by a pledge of toll revenues from the Teodoro Moscoso Bridge operated through a public-private partnership. The decline in the market value of this security is mainly attributed to the significant economic and fiscal challenges that Puerto Rico is facing, which is expected to result in a significant restructuring of the government under the supervision of a federally created Fiscal Oversight Board. All other Puerto Rico government securities were sold during the first quarter of 2016. The PRHTA bond had an aggregate fair value of $4.2 million at March 31, 2017 (90% of the bond's amortized cost) and matures on July 1, 2018. The discounted cash flow analysis for the investment showed a cumulative default probability at maturity of 6.4%, thus reflecting that it is more likely than not that the bond will not default during its remaining term. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it is more likely than not that it will recover all interest and principal invested in this Puerto Rico government bond and is, therefore, not required to recognize a credit loss as of March 31, 2017. Also, the Company’s conclusion is based on the assessment of the specific source of repayment of the outstanding bond, which continues to perform. PRHTA started principal repayments on July 1, 2014. All scheduled principal and interest payments to date have been collected. On July 1, 2016, the Company received a scheduled principal payment of $2.0 million. The next principal payment amounting to $2.2 million is scheduled for July 1, 2017. As a result of the aforementioned analysis, no other-than-temporary losses were recorded during the period ended March 31, 2017.

As of March 31, 2017, the Company performed a cash flow analysis of its Puerto Rico government bond to calculate the cash flows expected to be collected and determine if any portion of the decline in market value of this investment was considered an other-than-temporary impairment. The analysis derives an estimate of value based on the present value of risk-adjusted future cash flows of the underlying investment, and included the following components:

• The contractual future cash flows of the bond are projected based on the key terms as set forth in the official statements for the investment. Such key terms include among others the interest rate, amortization schedule, if any, and maturity date.
• The risk-adjusted cash flows are calculated based on a monthly default probability and recovery rate assumptions based on the credit rating of the investment. Constant monthly default rates are assumed throughout the life of the bond which is based on the respective security’s credit rating as of the date of the analysis.
• The adjusted future cash flows are then discounted at the original effective yield of the investment based on the purchase price and expected risk-adjusted future cash flows as of the purchase date of the investment.

The following table presents a rollforward of credit-related impairment losses recognized in earnings for the quarters ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 on available-for-sale securities
