As of March 31, 2015, our cash equivalents and short-term investments had a weighted-average time to maturity of approximately 157 days. We view our short-term investments portfolio as available for use in current operations. Accordingly, we have classified certain investments as short-term investments on our balance sheet even though the stated maturity date of these securities may be more than one year from the current balance sheet date. We have the ability to hold all investments as of March 31, 2015 through their respective maturity dates. At March 31, 2015, we had no investments that had been in a continuous unrealized loss position for more than twelve months. As of March 31, 2015, a total of 27 individual securities had been in an unrealized loss position for twelve months or less and the losses were determined to be temporary. The gross unrealized losses above were caused by interest rate increases. No significant facts or circumstances have arisen to indicate that there has been any deterioration in the creditworthiness of the issuers of the securities held by us. Based on our review of these securities, including the assessment of the duration and severity of the unrealized losses and our ability and intent to hold the investments until maturity, there were no other-than-temporary impairments for these securities at March 31, 2015.

 

The following table shows the fair value and gross unrealized losses of our investments in individual securities that are in an unrealized loss position, aggregated by investment category (in thousands):
