Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]

In February 2020, we raised approximately $49.5 million in net proceeds from an underwritten public offering of shares of our common stock. See Note 15 “Shareholders’ Equity” for further details on the equity offering. We invested a portion of the proceeds from the equity offering in held-to-maturity securities, which primarily consist of corporate bonds from large cap industrial and selected financial companies with a minimum credit rating of A. We have the ability and intention to hold these investments until maturity and therefore have classified these investments as held-to-maturity and recorded them at amortized cost.

The amortized cost, gross unrealized gains or losses, and fair value of investments classified as held-to-maturity at September 30, 2020 were as follows:


			Gross Unrealized				Estimated Fair
Due in less than 1 year:	Amortized Cost		Gains		Losses		Market Value
Corporate and municipal bonds	$	38,055	$	10	$	(33)	$	38,032
Total as of September 30, 2020	$	38,055	$	10	$	(33)	$	38,032

Investments are exposed to various risks, including interest rate, market and credit risk. As a result, it is possible that changes in the values of these investments may occur and that such changes could affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
