Fair value disclosure shows financial instruments which are not measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, but for which the fair value is estimated for disclosure purposes.
(ii)
Investments are measured at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient. These investments have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheet.

(i)
Due to declined financial performances and changes in business circumstances of certain investees, the Group recognized impairment charges of long-term investments in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025. For equity investments without readily determinable fair value using the measurement alternative, when there are observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, the investments are
re-measured
to fair value.
