FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

(17)  Fair Value Measurements

The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values were as follows in millions of dollars. Long-term borrowings exclude finance lease liabilities.

	April 30, 2023				October 30, 2022				May 1, 2022
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Financing receivables – net	$	38,954	$	38,337	$	36,634	$	35,526	$	34,085	$	33,540
Financing receivables securitized – net		5,659		5,494		5,936		5,698		4,073		4,016
Short-term securitization borrowings		5,379		5,271		5,711		5,577		4,006		3,944
Long-term borrowings due within one year		7,618		7,461		7,466		7,322		8,434		8,398
Long-term borrowings		35,571		34,802		33,566		31,852		32,410		31,975

Fair value measurements above were Level 3 for all financing receivables and Level 2 for all borrowings.

Fair values of the financing receivables that were issued long-term were based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by the Company for similar financing receivables. The fair values of the remaining financing receivables approximated the carrying amounts.

Fair values of long-term borrowings and short-term securitization borrowings were based on current market quotes for identical or similar borrowings and credit risk, or on the discounted values of their related cash flows at current market interest rates. Certain long-term borrowings have been swapped to current variable interest rates. The carrying values of these long-term borrowings included adjustments related to fair value hedges.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in millions of dollars follow, excluding the Company’s cash equivalents, which were carried at cost that approximates fair value and consisted of money market funds and time deposits.

The contractual maturities of debt securities at April 30, 2023 in millions of dollars are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some securities may be called or prepaid. Unrealized losses were not recognized in income due to the ability and intent to hold to maturity. Because of the potential for prepayment on mortgage-backed securities, they are not categorized by contractual maturity.

Due after one through five years		123		116

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure certain financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value:

Marketable securities – The portfolio of investments is valued on a market approach (matrix pricing model) in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, credit risk, and prepayment speeds. Funds are valued using closing prices in the active market in which the investment trades.

Derivatives – The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate contracts (swaps), foreign currency exchange contracts (futures, forwards, and swaps), and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps). The portfolio is valued based on an income approach (discounted cash flow) using market observable inputs, including swap curves and both forward and spot exchange rates for currencies.

Financing receivables – Specific reserve impairments are based on the fair value of the collateral, which is measured using a market approach (appraisal values or realizable values).

Inventories – The impairment was based on net realizable value.

Property and equipment - net – The valuations were based on cost and market approaches. The inputs include replacement cost estimates adjusted for physical deterioration and economic obsolescence.

Other intangible assets - net – The Company considered external valuations based on the Company’s probability weighted cash flow analysis.
