Level 2 Inputs

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

For our available-for-sale debt securities, we estimate the fair values by reviewing trading activity and pricing as of the measurement date, and by taking into consideration valuations obtained from third-party pricing services. The pricing services utilize industry standard valuation models, including both income-based and market-based approaches, for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, to estimate the fair value. These inputs include reported trades of and broker/dealer quotes on the same or similar securities, issuer credit spreads, benchmark securities, prepayment/default projections based on historical data and other observable inputs.

Foreign Currency Derivative Contracts

Our foreign currency derivative contracts have maturities of 18 months or less and all are with counterparties that have a minimum credit rating of A- or equivalent by S&P Global Ratings, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Fitch Ratings, Inc. We estimate the fair values of these contracts by utilizing an income-based industry standard valuation model for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. These inputs include foreign currency exchange rates, Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and swap rates. These inputs, where applicable, are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The following table summarizes the total estimated fair value and carrying value of our senior unsecured notes, determined using Level 2 inputs based on their quoted market values:


	December 31,
(in millions)	2023		2022
Fair value	$	22,567	$	21,872
Carrying value	$	23,834	$	24,088

Level 3 Inputs

Contingent Consideration Liability

In connection with our first quarter 2021 acquisition of MYR, we are subject to a potential contingent consideration payment of up to €300 million, subject to customary adjustments, which is revalued each reporting period using probability-weighted scenarios for U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval of Hepcludex until the related contingency is resolved.

The following table summarizes the change in fair value of our contingent consideration liability:


	Year Ended December 31,
(in millions)	2023		2022
Beginning balance	$	275	$	317
Changes in valuation assumptions(1)	(60)		(21)
Effect of foreign exchange remeasurement(2)	12		(21)
Ending balance(3)	$	228	$	275

________________________________

(1) Included in Research and development expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. The changes primarily related to changes in assumptions around probability and timing of regulatory approval.

(2) Included in Other income (expense), net on our Consolidated Statements of Income.

(3) Included in Other long-term obligations on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Liability Related to Future Royalties

We recorded a liability related to future royalties as part of our fourth quarter 2020 acquisition of Immunomedics, Inc. (“Immunomedics”), which is subsequently amortized using the effective interest method over the remaining estimated life. See Note 11. Debt and Credit Facilities for additional information.

The following table summarizes the fair value and carrying value of the liability related to future royalties:


	December 31,
(in millions)	2023		2022
Fair value	$	1,230	$	1,090
Carrying value	$	1,153	$	1,141

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

In 2023, we recorded a $51 million write-off of our finite-lived intangible asset related to filgotinib as discussed in Note 9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets, as well as a $381 million write-off of manufacturing assets related to changes in our manufacturing strategy as discussed in Note 10. Other Financial Information. Both charges were recorded within Cost of goods sold on our Consolidated Statements of Income. In 2023 and 2022, we recorded a partial impairment charge of $50 million and $2.7 billion, respectively, related to certain IPR&D assets as discussed in Note 9. Goodwill and Intangible Assets.

Fair Value Level Transfers

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 in the periods presented.
