FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Notes)

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2023

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Corporation's financial instruments are classified as Level 2 measurements. For assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 measurements, where the security is frequently traded in less active markets, fair value is based on the closing price at the end of the period; where the security is less frequently traded, fair value is based on the price a dealer would pay for the security or similar securities, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset or liability, or by using observable market data points of similar, more liquid securities to imply the price. Market inputs are obtained from well-established and recognized vendors of market data and subjected to tolerance and quality checks.

Assets that are measured using significant other observable inputs are primarily valued by reference to quoted prices of similar assets in active markets, adjusted for any terms specific to that asset. For all other assets for which observable inputs are used, fair value is derived through the use of fair value models, such as a discounted cash flow model or other standard pricing models. There were no transfers between Levels 1 and 2 in the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the Corporation's financial instruments at December 31, 2023 and 2022:


Fair Value of Financial Instruments	2023								2022
In millions	Cost		Gain		Loss		Fair Value		Cost		Gain		Loss		Fair Value
Cash equivalents 1	$	10	$	—	$	—	$	10	$	10	$	—	$	—	$	10

Long-term debt including debt due within one year	$	(260)	$	—	$	(47)	$	(307)	$	(394)	$	—	$	(29)	$	(423)

1.Money market fund is included in "Cash and cash equivalents" in the consolidated balance sheets and held at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Cost approximates fair value for all other financial instruments.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

In 2023, as part of the 2023 Restructuring Program, the Corporation rationalized its manufacturing assets to achieve its structural cost improvement initiatives. The manufacturing assets associated with this plan, classified as Level 3 measurements and valued using unobservable inputs, were written down to zero and the Corporation recorded an impairment charge of $2 million, which was included in "Restructuring and asset related charges - net" in the consolidated statements of income.
