Fair Value Measurements (Notes)

6 Months Ended

Jul. 31, 2020

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using the fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The levels of the fair value hierarchy are:


•	Level 1: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;


•	Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and


•	Level 3: unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

The Company measures the fair value of equity investments (primarily its investment in JD.com) on a recurring basis and records them in other long-term assets in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of the Company's equity investments are as follows:



(Amounts in millions)	Fair Value as of July 31, 2020		Fair Value as of January 31, 2020
Equity investments measured using Level 1 inputs	$	4,689	$	2,715
Equity investments measured using Level 2 inputs	5,204		2,723
Total	$	9,893	$	5,438

Derivatives

The Company also has derivatives recorded at fair value. Derivative fair values are the estimated amounts the Company would receive or pay upon termination of the related derivative agreements as of the reporting dates. The fair values have been measured using the income approach and Level 2 inputs, which include the relevant interest rate and foreign currency forward curves. As of July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, the notional amounts and fair values of these derivatives were as follows:



	July 31, 2020						January 31, 2020
(Amounts in millions)	Notional Amount		Fair Value				Notional Amount		Fair Value
Receive fixed-rate, pay variable-rate interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges	$	4,000	$	205		⁽¹⁾	$	4,000	$	97		⁽¹⁾
Receive fixed-rate, pay fixed-rate cross-currency swaps designated as net investment hedges	3,500		471			⁽¹⁾	3,750		455			⁽¹⁾
Receive fixed-rate, pay fixed-rate cross-currency swaps designated as cash flow hedges	4,271		(748		)	⁽²⁾	4,067		(696		)	⁽²⁾
Total	$	11,771	$	(72	)		$	11,817	$	(144	)

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company's assets and liabilities are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. The Company did not have any material assets or liabilities subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements as of July 31, 2020.

Other Fair Value Disclosures

The Company records cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term borrowings at cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.

The Company's long-term debt is also recorded at cost. The fair value is estimated using Level 2 inputs based on the Company's current incremental borrowing rate for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The carrying value and fair value of the Company's long-term debt as of July 31, 2020 and January 31, 2020, are as follows:



	July 31, 2020				January 31, 2020
(Amounts in millions)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including amounts due within one year	$	46,512	$	58,357	$	49,076	$	57,769
