Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Note 11: Financial Instruments

We enter into derivative instruments primarily for risk management purposes, including derivatives designated as hedging instruments and those utilized as economic hedges. We operate internationally and, in the normal course of business, are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and commodity prices. These fluctuations can increase the costs of financing, investing, and operating the business. We have used derivative instruments, including swaps, forward contracts and options, to manage certain foreign currency, interest rate, and commodity price exposures.

The present value of aggregate notional principal of our outstanding foreign currency hedges was $11.6 billion and $11.2 billion at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. At March 31, 2023, all derivative contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges will mature by February 2030.

The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet for derivative instruments:

(dollars in millions)	Balance Sheet Location	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign exchange contracts	Other assets, current	$	77	$	67
	Other accrued liabilities	350		347
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Foreign exchange contracts	Other assets, current	$	14	$	17
	Other accrued liabilities	39		39

The effect of cash flow hedging relationships on Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations in the quarters ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 are presented in “Note 16: Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.” The amounts of gain or loss are attributable to foreign exchange contract activity and are primarily recorded as a component of Products sales when reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The Company utilizes the critical terms match method in assessing derivatives for hedge effectiveness. Accordingly, the hedged items and derivatives designated as hedging instruments are highly effective.

As of March 31, 2023, our €500 million principal value of euro-denominated long-term debt qualifies as a net investment hedge against our investments in European businesses, which is deemed to be effective.

The effect of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments is included within Other income, net, on the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations and is not material.
