The gross balances of derivative assets are contained within prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the gross balances of derivative liabilities are contained within other accrued expenses and liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company may enter into master netting agreements with certain counterparties that allow for netting of exposures. There was no netting of derivative assets against liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

Accounts receivable are financial assets with carrying values that approximate fair value. Accounts payable, other accrued expenses and short-term debt are financial liabilities with carrying values that approximate fair value. If measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements, these financial instruments would be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, except for short-term debt, which would be classified as Level 2.

The Company also has time deposits that have maturities of 90 days or less, and their carrying values approximate fair value. They are measured for impairment on a recurring basis by comparing their fair value with their amortized cost basis. There were no impairments of financial assets recognized for any of the periods presented. The balance of these time deposits with maturities of 90 days or less contained within cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $814 million, $972 million and $609 million, respectively. If measured at fair value in the consolidated financial statements, time deposits with maturities of 90 days or less would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of our outstanding debt (excluding finance lease obligations) is based on various methodologies, including quoted prices in active markets for identical debt instruments, which is a Level 1 measurement, and calculated fair value using an expected present value technique that uses rates currently available to the Company for debt in active markets with similar terms and remaining maturities, which is a Level 2 measurement. Our outstanding debt (excluding finance lease obligations) had a carrying value of $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. The debt had an estimated fair value of $2.5 billion, $2.7 billion and $3.0 billion as of March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, which consisted of quoted prices for identical debt instruments (Level 1) and expected present value calculated off observable inputs (Level 2).

Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company has foreign exchange derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges to manage the volatility of cash flows that relate to operating expenses denominated in certain currencies. Changes in fair value of derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge are recorded, net of applicable taxes, in other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into the same income statement line item as the hedged exposure when the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The cash flows associated with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported in cash flows from operating activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Through the pre-Separation periods, derivatives designated as cash flow hedges were deemed to be associated with the Company’s operations and were allocated to the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement based on its pro-rata share of the underlying items hedged, where applicable, with the remainder allocated on a pro-rata basis of revenue.

At March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency cost transactions was $283 million, $216 million and $213 million, respectively. The notional amounts of derivative instruments do not necessarily represent the amounts exchanged by the Company with third parties and are not necessarily a direct measure of the financial exposure. The maximum remaining length of time over which the Company hedged its exposure is approximately one year. At March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the weighted-average remaining maturity of these instruments was approximately 0.5 years. At March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total fair value of forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency cost transactions was $1 million, $4 million and $4 million, respectively.

At March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, in connection with cash flow hedges of foreign currency cost transactions, the Company had unrealized gains of $1 million, $3 million and $4 million (each before taxes), respectively, in AOCI. The Company estimates that $1 million (before taxes) of deferred net gains on derivatives in AOCI at March 31, 2023 will be reclassified to net income within the next twelve months, providing an offsetting economic impact against the underlying anticipated transactions.

Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company enters into currency forward and swap contracts to hedge exposures related to assets and liabilities across its subsidiaries. These contracts are not designated as hedging instruments, and therefore changes in fair value of these contracts are reported in earnings in other expense. Cash flows from derivatives not designated as hedges are reported in cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The terms of these swap contracts are generally less than one year. The changes in the fair values of these contracts and of the underlying hedged exposures are generally offsetting and are recorded in other expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. At March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total notional amount of derivative instruments in economic hedges of foreign currency exposure was $1.5 billion, $945 million and $581 million, respectively. At March 31, 2023, March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the total fair value of derivative instruments in economic hedges of foreign currency exposure was $6 million, $3 million and $5 million, respectively.

*Pre-Separation, hedging activity was allocated from the former Parent to the Consolidated Income Statement, resulting in no gain (loss) either recognized in other comprehensive income or reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income.

For the year ended March 31, 2023, the three months ended March 31, 2022 and the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no gains or losses excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for cash flow hedges, or associated with an underlying exposure that did not or was not expected to occur; nor are there any anticipated in the normal course of business.
