Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:
Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The following fair value hierarchy table presents the components and classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Cash equivalents, including cash equivalents held for sale, consist of highly liquid investments, primarily money market funds, with maturities of three months or less when purchased, and are reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature.
As of June 30, 2021, Restricted cash includes $1,210 million of payments into an escrow fund under the terms of a settlement agreement regarding certain U.S. securities litigation (which settlement agreement is subject to two objectors' appeals of the final court approval of the agreement), and is reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at carrying value, which
approximates fair value due to its short-term nature. These payments will remain in escrow until resolution of the appeals of the final court approval of the settlement agreement, as discussed in Note 18, "LEGAL PROCEEDINGS".
There were no transfers into or out of Level 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Cross-currency Swaps
During 2019, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps, with aggregate notional amounts of $1,250 million, to mitigate fluctuation in the value of a portion of its euro-denominated net investment in its consolidated financial statements from fluctuation in exchange rates. The euro-denominated net investment being hedged is the Company’s investment in certain euro-denominated subsidiaries.
The Company’s cross-currency swaps qualify for and have been designated as an accounting hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation and are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in their fair values. The fair value is determined via a mark-to-market analysis, using observable (Level 2) inputs. These inputs may include: (i) the foreign currency exchange spot rate between the euro and U.S. dollar, (ii) the interest rate yield curves in the euro and U.S. dollar and (iii) the credit risk rating for each applicable counterparty. The net change in fair value of cross-currency swaps is reported as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss as part of Foreign currency translation adjustment to the extent they are effective and remain in Accumulative other comprehensive loss until either the sale or complete, or substantially complete, liquidation of the subsidiary. No portion of the cross-currency swaps were ineffective for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. The Company uses the spot method of assessing hedge effectiveness. The Company has elected to amortize amounts excluded from the assessment of effectiveness over the term of its cross-currency swaps as Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair value of the Company’s cross-currency swaps liability as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $41 million and $70 million, respectively. Included in Other non-current liabilities is $50 million and $79 million of cross-currency swaps and included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets is $9 million and $9 million of earned interest as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The following table presents the effect of hedging instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss and the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

Interest settlement of the Company's cross-currency swaps occurs in February and August each year. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company received $11 million and $11 million, respectively, in interest settlements which are reported as investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts
In 2020 and 2021, the Company entered into foreign currency exchange contracts. As of June 30, 2021, these contracts had an aggregate outstanding notional amount of $253 million.
The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts are remeasured at each reporting date to reflect changes in their fair values determined using forward rates, which are observable market inputs, multiplied by the notional amount. The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts are economically hedging the foreign exchange exposure on certain of the Company’s intercompany balances. These contracts have not been designated as an accounting hedge, and therefore the net change in their fair value is reported as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of Foreign exchange and other.
The fair value of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts liability as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $4 million and $8 million, respectively. Included in Accrued and other current liabilities are $4 million and $11 million and included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets are $0 and $3 million of foreign currency exchange contracts as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. The net change in fair value was a gain of $7 million and $4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and a gain of $5 million and a loss $1 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Settlements of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts are reported as a gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as part of Foreign exchange and other and reported as operating activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. During the six months ended June 30,
2021 and 2020, the Company reported a realized loss of $9 million and $4 million, respectively, related to settlements of the Company's foreign currency exchange contracts.
Acquisition-related Contingent Consideration Obligations
The fair value measurement of contingent consideration obligations arising from business combinations is determined via a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis, using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These inputs may include: (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows, (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based and (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows. Significant increases or decreases in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement. At June 30, 2021, the fair value measurements of acquisition-related contingent consideration were determined using risk-adjusted discount rates ranging from 6% to 18%, and a weighted average risk-adjusted discount rate of 7%. The weighted average risk-adjusted discount rate was calculated by weighting each contract's relative fair value at June 30, 2021.
The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:

See Note 4, "ACQUISITION, LICENSING AGREEMENTS AND ASSETS HELD FOR SALE", for additional details regarding these assets held for sale.
Fair Value of Long-term Debt
The fair value of long-term debt as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 was $23,935 million and $25,378 million, respectively, and was estimated using the quoted market prices for the same or similar debt issuances (Level 2).
