(1) We have the ability to exercise significant influence over these investments and therefore they are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures of the FASB Codification. Our share of our equity method investees’ financial results is included in other income on our consolidated statement of operations. We recognized an unrealized gain of $5 million on one of our equity method investments related to its issuance of additional shares upon the closing of a subsequent financing round in gain (loss) on investment, net on our consolidated statement of operations during the year ending December 31, 2022. (2) Our wholly owned subsidiary JetBlue Technology Ventures, LLC ("JBV") has equity investments in emerging companies which do not have readily determinable fair values. In accordance with Topic 321, Investments - Equity Securities of the FASB Codification, we account for these investments using a measurement alternative which allows entities to measure these investments at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identifiable or similar investments of the same issuer. Refer to the table below for investment gain (loss) activity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022. (3) We have an approximate 10% ownership interest in the TWA Flight Center Hotel at JFK, which is accounted for under the measurement alternative described above. We did not record any material gains or losses on our TWA Flight Center Hotel during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022. (4) As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, we had an immaterial amount of equity securities recorded within investment securities in the current asset section of our consolidated balance sheets. Our equity securities include investments in common stocks of publicly traded companies which are stated at fair value. Refer to the table below for investment gain (loss) activity during the twelve months ended December 31, 2024, 2023, or 2022 (in millions):
