Investments In February 2023, the Company entered into a forward share purchase agreement with Napatech A/S (Napatech), a publicly traded Danish company registered on the Oslo stock exchange, to purchase approximately 6.2 million shares of Napatech's common stock for $7.5 million. In April 2023, the Company settled the forward share purchase contract with Napatech in exchange for approximately 6.2 million shares of Napatech's common stock and recorded a $0.2 million change in the fair value of the derivative instrument in other income (expense), net within the Company's consolidated statement of operations during the six months ended September 30, 2023. As part of the agreement, the Company received the right to designate a representative to be nominated for election to the Napatech Board of Directors, which was approved by Napatech's Nomination Committee in April 2023. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method and has elected to apply the fair value option to the investment. The Company records the investment at fair value at the end of each period based on the closing price of Napatech's stock and any change in fair value during the period is recorded in other income (expense), net within the Company's consolidated statement of operations. At September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the fair value of the investment in Napatech was $19.8 million and $11.5 million, respectively, and was included in marketable securities and investments in the Company's consolidated balance sheet. During the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized a $7.6 million increase and a $0.1 million increase, respectively, in the fair value of the equity investment in Napatech in other income (expense), net within the Company's consolidated statement of operations. For the six months ended September 30, 2024, the unrealized gain related to foreign currency translation on the equity investment in Napatech was $0.7 million. For the six months ended September 30, 2023, the unrealized loss related to foreign currency translation on the equity investment in Napatech was immaterial.
