Equity investments using the measurement alternative
The Group did not disclose the fair value of alternative measure method investments if it is not practicable to estimate the fair value of its alternative measure method investments for which a quoted market price is not available due to both excessive cost as well as lack of available information on fair value of such investments. Specifically, many of the investees are start-up companies in China and operate in emerging industries for which the Group has not been able to estimate their fair values. For those equity investments having observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investments of the same issuers, the Group would disclose the fair value of the alternative measure method investments.
Nil and RMB12.6 million re-measurement loss of equity investments accounted for using the measurement alternative was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Equity investments accounted for using the equity method
RMB5.7 million and RMB19.5 million of the Group’s proportionate share of equity investee’s net loss, was recognized in “Investment income/(loss), net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
Investments accounted for at fair value
Investments accounted for at fair value primarily include financial products with variable interest rates referenced to performance of underlying assets and with original maturities great than one year and investments in publicly traded companies with an intention of holding greater than one year. A gain of RMB15.2 million and a loss of RMB175.7 million resulted from the change in fair value was recognized in “Investment income/(loss), net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
The Group also received cash dividends of nil and RMB26.5 million from certain investees for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively.
The Group recorded impairment charges for long-term investments of RMB8.0 million and RMB65.4 million as “Investment income/(loss), net” for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2021, respectively, as the Group determined the fair value of these investments was less than their carrying value.
