FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

12 Months Ended

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value hierarchy under the accounting standard for fair value measurements consists of the following three levels:

•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets that we have the ability to access for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuations in which all significant inputs are observable in the market; and

•Level 3 — Valuations using significant inputs that are unobservable in the market and include the use of judgment by management about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table summarizes financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, cash and cash equivalents of $3.3 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively, included money market and other short-term funds of approximately $1.7 billion and $169 million, respectively, which are considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

For assets that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held, without consideration of transaction costs. The majority of the derivatives entered into by us are valued using internal valuation techniques as no quoted market prices exist for such instruments. The principal techniques used to value these instruments are discounted cash flow and Black-Scholes models. The key inputs, which are considered observable and vary depending on the type of derivative, include contractual terms, interest rate yield curves, foreign exchange rates and volatility.

Contingent payments related to acquisitions, which consist of milestone payments and sales-based payments, are valued using discounted cash flow techniques. The fair value of milestone payments reflects management’s expectations of probability of payment, and increases as the probability of payment increases or the expected timing of payments is accelerated. The fair value of sales-based payments is based upon probability-weighted future revenue estimates, and increases as revenue estimates increase, probability weighting of higher revenue scenarios increases or the expected timing of payment is accelerated. The following table is a reconciliation of our recurring

fair value measurements that use significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), which consist of contingent payments related to acquisitions.


as of and for the years ended December 31 (in millions)	2019		2018
Fair value at beginning of period	$	32	$	9
Additions	18		24
Change in fair value recognized in earnings	(4)		—
Payments	(7)		(1)
Fair value at end of period	$	39	$	32

Equity investments not measured at fair value are comprised of other equity investments without readily determinable fair values and were $73 million and $41 million at December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts are included in Other non-current assets.

Fair Values of Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Value

In addition to the financial instruments that we are required to recognize at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets, we have certain financial instruments that are recognized at amortized cost or some basis other than fair value. For these financial instruments, the following table provides the values recognized in the consolidated balance sheets and the estimated fair values.


	Book values						Fair values(a)
			As Restated				As Restated
as of December 31 (in millions)	2019		2018		2019		2018
Liabilities
Short-term debt	$	226	$	2	$	226	$	2
Current maturities of long-term debt and finance lease obligations	315		2		315		2
Long-term debt and finance lease obligations	4,809		3,481		5,156		3,469

(a) These fair value amounts are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as they are estimated based on observable inputs.

The carrying value of short-term debt approximates its fair value due to the short-term maturities of the obligations. The estimated fair values of current and long-term debt were computed by multiplying price by the notional amount of the respective debt instruments. Price is calculated using the stated terms of the respective debt instrument and yield curves commensurate with our credit risk. The carrying values of other financial instruments approximate their fair values due to the short-term maturities of most of those assets and liabilities.

- Definition

The entire disclosure for the fair value of financial instruments (as defined), including financial assets and financial liabilities (collectively, as defined), and the measurements of those instruments as well as disclosures related to the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities. Such disclosures about the financial instruments, assets, and liabilities would include: (1) the fair value of the required items together with their carrying amounts (as appropriate); (2) for items for which it is not practicable to estimate fair value, disclosure would include: (a) information pertinent to estimating fair value (including, carrying amount, effective interest rate, and maturity, and (b) the reasons why it is not practicable to estimate fair value; (3) significant concentrations of credit risk including: (a) information about the activity, region, or economic characteristics identifying a concentration, (b) the maximum amount of loss the entity is exposed to based on the gross fair value of the related item, (c) policy for requiring collateral or other security and information as to accessing such collateral or security, and (d) the nature and brief description of such collateral or security; (4) quantitative information about market risks and how such risks are managed; (5) for items measured on both a recurring and nonrecurring basis information regarding the inputs used to develop the fair value measurement; and (6) for items presented in the financial statement for which fair value measurement is elected: (a) information necessary to understand the reasons for the election, (b) discussion of the effect of fair value changes on earnings, (c) a description of [similar groups] items for which the election is made and the relation thereof to the balance sheet, the aggregate carrying value of items included in the balance sheet that are not eligible for the election; (7) all other required (as defined) and desired information.
