Fair Value Measurements

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2022

The Company's financial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as follows:

Derivative financial instruments include interest rate swaps, commodity swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forwards and swaps and are valued in the market using discounted cash flow techniques. These techniques incorporate Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurement inputs such as interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument's term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk. Significant inputs to the derivative valuation for interest rate swaps, commodity swaps, cross-currency swaps and foreign currency forwards and swaps are observable in the active markets and are classified as Level 2 in the fair value measurement hierarchy.

Carrying values and fair values of financial instruments that are not carried at fair value are as follows:


		Fair Value Measurement
	Carrying Amount	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)	Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)	Total
	(In $ millions)
As of September 30, 2022
Equity investments without readily determinable fair values	170	—	—	—
Insurance contracts in nonqualified trusts	24	24	—	24
Long-term debt, including current installments of long-term debt	12,398	11,467	166	11,633
As of December 31, 2021
Equity investments without readily determinable fair values	170	—	—	—
Insurance contracts in nonqualified trusts	28	28	—	28
Long-term debt, including current installments of long-term debt	3,722	3,639	173	3,812

In general, the equity investments included in the table above are not publicly traded and their fair values are not readily determinable. The Company believes the carrying values approximate fair value. Insurance contracts in nonqualified trusts consist of long-term fixed income securities, which are valued using independent vendor pricing models with observable inputs in the active market and therefore represent a Level 2 fair value measurement. The fair value of long-term debt is based on valuations from third-party banks and market quotations and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value measurement hierarchy. The fair value of obligations under finance leases, which are included in long-term debt, is based on lease payments and discount rates, which are not observable in the market and therefore represents a Level 3 fair value measurement.

As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, marketable securities, trade payables, short-term borrowings and the current installments of long-term debt approximate carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Cash and cash equivalents includes $2.9 billion of U.S. treasury bills purchased during the three months ended September 30, 2022, which will be held to maturity. Unrealized gains and losses on the U.S. treasury bills were not significant as of September 30, 2022 and therefore, the amortized cost of the U.S. treasury bills approximated their fair value. These items have been excluded from the table with the exception of the current installments of long-term debt.
