Fair Value

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

The preparation of the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires certain assets and liabilities to be reflected at their fair value and others to be reflected on another basis, such as an adjusted historical cost basis. The Company’s assets and liabilities carried at fair value have been classified within one of three levels of a hierarchy established by GAAP. The following are the levels of the hierarchy and a brief description of the type of valuation information (“valuation inputs”) that qualifies a financial asset or liability for each level:

•Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

•Level 2 – Valuation inputs other than Level 1 that are based on observable market data. These include: quoted prices for similar assets in active markets, quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets, valuation inputs that are observable that are not prices (such as interest rates and credit risks) and valuation inputs that are derived from or corroborated by observable markets.

•Level 3 – Developed from unobservable data, reflecting the Company’s assumptions.

For a description of the methods and assumptions that are used to estimate the fair value and determine the fair value hierarchy classification of each class of financial instrument, see Note 4 ‘‘Fair Value’’ in Exhibit 99.1 to the May 2023 8-K.

There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2023 or December 31, 2022. Financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

See Note 2 ‘‘Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale’’ for additional information.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 there were no transfers into or out of Level 3. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were $42 million and $29 million, respectively, of transfers out of Level 3.

The carrying value and estimated fair value classified by level of fair value hierarchy for financial instruments carried on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets at adjusted cost or contract value at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

(1)It was not practical to estimate the fair value of these cost-method investments as it represents shares of unlisted companies.

(2)Includes long-term debt of $3 million which was accounted for as liabilities held for sale and was included in liabilities held for sale on the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2022. See Note 2 ‘‘Acquisitions and Assets Held for Sale’’ for additional information.

Separate Accounts assets relate to the Company’s large case pensions products which represent funds maintained to meet specific objectives of contract holders. Since contract holders bear the investment risk of these assets, a corresponding Separate Accounts liability has been established equal to the assets. These assets and liabilities are carried at fair value. Separate Accounts financial assets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:


	September 30, 2023								December 31, 2022
