Investments [Abstract] |
Investment | eFinancialCareers During the third quarter of 2023, the Company sold a portion of its ownership in eFinancialCareers ("eFC") reducing its total interest in eFC from 40% to 10%. As a result of the sale, the Company received cash of $4.9 million and recognized a $0.6 million gain, which included a $0.2 million charge related to accumulated foreign currency loss that was previously a reduction to equity. The Company's investment in eFC was recorded at $1.8 million as of each of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. eFC is a financial services careers website, operating websites in multiple markets in four languages mainly across the United Kingdom, Continental Europe, Asia, the Middle East and North America. Professionals from across many sectors of the financial services industry, including asset management, risk management, investment banking, and information technology, use eFC to advance their careers. The Company has evaluated its common share interest in the eFC business and has determined the investment meets the definition and criteria of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Company evaluated the VIE and determined that the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, as the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. The common share interest is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting as the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over eFC. The investment was recorded at its fair value on June 30, 2021, the date of transfer, which was $3.6 million. The Company's equity in the net assets of eFC as of June 30, 2021 was $2.2 million. The difference between the Company's recorded value and its equity in net assets of eFC was reduced during the third quarter of 2023, as described above, as the Company reduced its ownership in eFC. The remaining basis difference at the time of sale was $0.3 million and is being amortized against the recorded value of the investment in accordance with ASC 323 Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. Amortization expense during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was not significant. The recorded value is further adjusted based on the Company's proportionate share of eFC's net income and is recorded three months in arrears. The Company recorded income related to its proportionate share of eFC's net income, net of currency translation adjustments and amortization of the basis difference, of approximately zero for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and recorded $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2024, respectively. Other During 2021, the Company invested $3.0 million through a subordinated convertible promissory note (the "Note") with a values-based career destination company that allows the next generation workforce to search for jobs at companies whose people, perks and values align with their unique professional needs. The investment was recorded as a trading security at fair value and was recorded at $3.0 million as of December 31, 2021. In the third quarter of 2022, the Note was converted into preferred shares representing 4.9% of the outstanding equity in the underlying business, on a fully-diluted basis. The Company's preferred shares were substantially similar to shares purchased by a third party investor that resulted in such investor becoming the majority owner of the business. Therefore the Company's shares in the business were recorded at fair value based on the price per share realized in the conversion. The value of the Company's investment was $0.7 million as of December 31, 2022 and was recorded as an investment in the consolidated balance sheet. During the third quarter of 2023, the investment's financial position deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to $0.4 million and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.3 million during the third quarter of 2023. During the first quarter of 2024, the investment's financial position further deteriorated. To meet its financial obligations, the investment issued additional convertible debt at a price that indicated the value of the investment had declined. As such, the Company revalued its investment to zero and accordingly, recognized an impairment loss of $0.4 million during the first quarter of 2024. The Company's ownership of the investment, on a fully diluted basis, as of June 30, 2025 is less than 0.10%. At June 30, 2025, the Company held preferred stock representing a 6.6% interest in the fully diluted shares of a tech skills assessment company. The investment is recorded at zero as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The Company recorded no gain or loss related to the investment during the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
