Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS. The following table provides information about assets and liabilities not carried at fair value and excludes finance leases, equity securities without readily determinable fair value and non-financial assets and liabilities. Additionally, cash, cash equivalents and time deposits with maturities greater than three months are excluded from the table below, as the carrying value approximates their fair value because of the relatively short-term maturities of these financial instruments. Substantially all of these assets are considered Level 3 and substantially all these liabilities’ fair value are considered Level 2.

Assets and liabilities that are reflected in the accompanying financial statements at fair value are not included in the above disclosures; such items include investment securities (see Note 3) and derivative financial instruments below.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING. Per our policy, derivatives are used solely for managing risks and not for speculative purposes. We use derivatives to manage risks related to foreign currency exchange (including foreign equity investments), interest rates and commodity prices.

We use foreign currency forward and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges primarily to reduce the effects of foreign exchange rate changes. The gains or losses on derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are initially recorded in Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) and subsequently reclassified to earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. We expect to reclassify $4 million of gains from AOCI to earnings in the next 12 months contemporaneously with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions.

We use our foreign currency debt and cross-currency interest rate swaps in net investment hedges to hedge currency exposure of our net investments in foreign operations. Gains and losses on net investment hedges are initially recorded in the Statement of Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The carrying value of foreign currency debt designated as net investment hedges was $4,762 million and $4,958 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

We use interest rate swaps in fair value hedges to hedge the effects of interest rates on debt we issued. For the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2026, gain or (loss) on interest rate swaps was $(6) million and $(10) million, respectively, recognized in interest and other financial changes and offset by the changes of fair value of the hedged debts within the same line in the Statement of Operations.

For cross-currency interest rate swaps and interest rate swaps in qualified hedging relationships, we recognize the periodic interest settlements within Interest and other financial charges in the Statement of Operations. Such amounts reduced Interest and other financial charges by $10 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $19 million and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The cash flows associated with these periodic interest settlements are classified as operating activities in the Statement of Cash Flows.

We also use derivatives for economic hedges when we have exposures to currency exchange risk for which we are unable to meet the requirements for hedge accounting or when changes in the carrying amount of the hedged item are already recorded in income in the same period as the derivative making hedge accounting unnecessary. Even though the derivative is an effective economic hedge, there may be a net effect on income in each period due to differences in the timing of income recognition between the derivative and the hedged item.

(b) Gains (losses) included in our Statement of Operations were $40 million and $181 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and $5 million and $216 million for six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, primarily in SG&A, driven by hedges of foreign currency exchange and deferred employee compensation. Substantially all of these amounts are offset by the remeasurement of the underlying exposure through earnings.

FAIR VALUE HEDGES. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the cumulative amount of hedging adjustments (primarily from discontinued hedges) of $889 million and $969 million were included primarily in long-term borrowings of $8,535 million and $8,286 million, respectively. Cumulative adjustments related to previously discontinued hedges will continue to amortize into interest expense until the borrowings mature.

COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK. Our exposures to counterparties (including accrued interest) were $70 million and $187 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Counterparties' exposures to our derivative liability (including accrued interest), were $89 million and $71 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
