LETTERS OF CREDIT, GUARANTEES, AND OTHER COMMITMENTS.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had bank guarantees and surety bonds of approximately $717 million and $751 million, respectively, related to certain commercial contracts. Additionally, we have approximately $33 million and $39 million of guarantees as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, primarily related to residual and credit guarantees on equipment sold to third-party finance companies. Our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position reflect a liability of $4 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 related to these guarantees. For credit-related guarantees, we estimate our expected credit losses related to off-balance sheet credit exposure consistent with the method used to estimate the allowance for credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. See Note 13, “Commitments, Guarantees, Product Warranties, and Other Loss Contingencies” for further information on guarantee arrangements with GE.
