FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING.

Our primary objective in executing and holding derivative contracts is to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with risks related to foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices. These derivative contracts reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the aforementioned risks. Our policy is to use derivative contracts solely for managing risks and not for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges
For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of designated hedging instruments are initially recorded as a component of AOCI and subsequently reclassified to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings and to the same financial statement line item impacted by the hedged transaction. As of June 30, 2026, we expect to reclassify $42 million of pre-tax net deferred gains associated with designated cash flow hedges to earnings in the next 12 months, contemporaneously with the impact on earnings of the related hedged transactions.

Within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in All other operating activities – net.

Net Investment Hedges
We use cross-currency interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts in combination with foreign currency option contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with our net investment in foreign operations. As of June 30, 2026, these contracts were designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign operations, primarily in Euro and Chinese Renminbi currencies.

Within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with derivatives designated as net investment hedges are recorded in All other investing activities – net and cash flows from the periodic interest settlements on the cross-currency swaps are recorded in All other operating activities – net.
Fair Value Hedges
We use interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk on our fixed rate borrowings. These derivatives are designated as fair value hedges to hedge the changes in fair value due to benchmark interest rate risk of specific designated cash flows of our senior unsecured notes.

We record the changes in fair value on these swap contracts in Interest and other financial charges – net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, the same line item where the offsetting change in the fair value of the designated cash flows of the senior unsecured note is recorded as a basis adjustment.

Within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash flows for the periodic interest settlements on the interest rate swaps are recorded in All other operating activities – net.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
We also execute derivative instruments, such as foreign currency forward contracts and equity-linked total return swaps, which are not designated as qualifying hedges. These derivatives serve as economic hedges of foreign currency exchange rate and equity price risks. We also identify and record foreign currency-related features in our purchase or sales contracts where the currency is not the local or functional currency of any substantive party to the contract as embedded derivatives.

The changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as qualifying hedge transactions are recorded in Cost of products, Cost of services, Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”), and Other (income) expense – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income based on the nature of the underlying hedged transaction. Changes in fair value of embedded derivatives are recognized in Other (income) expense – net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with derivatives not designated but used as economic hedges are recorded, based on the nature of the underlying hedged transaction, in All other operating activities – net and All other investing activities – net, and cash flows related to embedded derivatives are recorded in All other operating activities – net.

The following table presents the gross fair values of our outstanding derivative instruments.

Under the master arrangements with the respective counterparties to our derivative contracts, in certain circumstances and subject to applicable requirements, we are allowed to net settle transactions with a single net amount payable by one party to the other. However, we have elected to present the derivative assets and derivative liabilities on a gross basis in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and in the table above.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the potential effect of rights of offset associated with the derivative contracts would be an offset to both assets and liabilities by $98 million and $107 million, respectively.

The table below presents the pre-tax gains (losses) recognized in OCI associated with the Company’s cash flow and net investment hedges.

Cash equivalents
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash of $2,105 million and $4,512 million, respectively, included money market funds of $309 million and $399 million, and other cash equivalents of $950 million and $3,046 million, respectively. The carrying values of the other cash equivalents approximates the fair value due to their short maturities and are valued using Level 1 or Level 2 inputs. Refer to Note 16, “Supplemental Financial Information” for further information.

Derivatives
Derivatives are measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow method or option models using interest rates, foreign exchange spot and forward rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals, implied volatilities, and credit spreads as key inputs. Unobservable inputs relate to our own credit risk which is not significant to the overall measurement of fair value.

Contingent consideration
Contingent consideration is recorded at fair value based on estimates of future cash flows in connection with business acquisitions. As the valuation of these liabilities is based on inputs that are less observable or not observable in the market, the determination of fair value is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Non-recurring fair value measurements
Changes in fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, such as equity method investments, equity investments without readily determinable fair value, financing receivables, and long-lived assets, were not material for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, with the exception of the gain on fair value measurement of the NMP equity method investment as described in Note 7, “Acquisitions, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets.”

Fair value of other financial instruments
The estimated fair value of borrowings as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was $10,495 million and $10,545 million, respectively, compared to a carrying value (which only includes a reduction for unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts and cumulative basis adjustment) of $10,093 million and $10,003 million, respectively. The fair value of our borrowings includes accrued interest and is determined based on observable and quoted prices and spreads of comparable debt and benchmark securities and is considered Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 8, “Borrowings” and Note 16, “Supplemental Financial Information” for further information.
