Fair Value Disclosures

As of June 30, 2021, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings and accounts payable approximated their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The fair value of notes receivable, net of allowances, and lease guarantees, less reserves for expected losses, approximates their carrying value. The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s debt obligations:


	6/30/2021				12/31/2020
	Carrying Value		Fair Value (Level 2)		Carrying Value		Fair Value (Level 2)

Securitization Notes(a)	$	2,854	$	3,001	$	2,869	$	3,015
Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes(b)	750		788		1,800		1,890
Term Loan A Facility(b)	750		743		431		428
Term Loan B Facility(b)	1,497		1,500		1,916		1,907
YUM Senior Unsecured Notes(b)	4,825		5,190		3,725		4,094

(a) We estimated the fair value of the Securitization Notes using market quotes and calculations. The markets in which the Securitization Notes trade are not considered active markets.

(b) We estimated the fair value of the YUM and Subsidiary Senior Unsecured Notes, Term Loan A Facility and Term Loan B Facility using market quotes and calculations based on market rates.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has interest rate swaps, foreign currency contracts and other investments, all of which are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis (See Note 12 for discussion regarding derivative instruments). The following table

presents fair values for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis and the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the measurements fall.


			Fair Value
	Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet	Level	6/30/2021		12/31/2020
Assets
Foreign Currency Contracts	Prepaid expenses and other current assets	2	$	—	$	1
Other Investments	Other assets	1	3		45


Liabilities
Interest Rate Swaps	Accounts payable and other current liabilities	2	42		28
Interest Rate Swaps	Other liabilities and deferred credits	2	88		127

The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps and foreign currency contracts were determined based on the present value of expected future cash flows considering the risks involved, including nonperformance risk, and using discount rates appropriate for the duration based on observable inputs. The other investments as of December 31, 2020, primarily include investments in mutual funds, which were historically used to offset fluctuations for a portion of our EID liabilities and whose fair values were determined based on the closing market prices of the respective mutual funds. In the quarter ended March 31, 2021, upon entering into the total return swaps as disclosed in Note 12, we sold the majority of these other investments and received cash proceeds of $44 million. These proceeds have been classified within Other, net cash flows from investing activities within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
