The company uses the Black-Scholes model to value its warrants. The company determines the fair value of its insurance contracts by obtaining the cash surrender value of the contracts from the issuer. The fair value of derivative contracts is the estimated amount that the company would receive/pay upon liquidation of the contracts, taking into account the change in interest rates and currency exchange rates. The company determines the fair value of acquisition-related contingent consideration based on the probability-weighted discounted cash flows associated with such future payments. Changes to the fair value of contingent consideration are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense. The following table provides a rollforward of the fair value, as determined by level 3 inputs, of the contingent consideration.

(b)The fair value of the currency exchange contracts is included in the consolidated balance sheet under the captions other current assets or other accrued expenses.

The following amounts related to cumulative basis adjustments for fair value hedges were included in the consolidated balance sheet under the caption long-term obligations:

Gains and losses recognized on currency exchange contracts and the interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges are included in the consolidated statement of income together with the corresponding, offsetting losses and gains on the underlying hedged transactions.

The company also uses foreign currency-denominated debt and cross-currency interest rate swaps to partially hedge its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. The majority of the company’s euro-denominated senior notes and certain of its cross-currency interest rate swaps have been designated as, and are effective as, economic hedges of part of the net investment in a foreign operation. Accordingly, foreign currency transaction gains or losses due to spot rate fluctuations on the euro-denominated debt instruments and contract fair value changes on the cross-currency interest rate swaps, excluding interest accruals, are included in currency translation adjustment within other comprehensive items and shareholders’ equity.

The company has also entered into $1 billion notional value of cross currency swaps in anticipation of U.S. dollar term loan borrowings to partially finance the euro purchase price of the QIAGEN acquisition (Note 2). Gains and losses associated with these swaps are recorded in other expense, net.

See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for 2019 included in the company's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Note 7 herein for additional information on the company's risk management objectives and strategies.

Cash Flow Hedge Arrangements

In March 2020, the company entered into interest rate swap arrangements to mitigate the risk of interest rates rising prior to completion of future debt offerings. Based on the company's conclusion that the debt offerings are probable, the swaps hedge the cash flow risk for each of the interest payments on the planned fixed-rate debt issues. The aggregate fair value of these hedges, net of tax, at March 28, 2020 has been classified as a reduction to accumulated other comprehensive items. One of these hedges was terminated in March 2020, in connection with the debt offering completed in that month. The aggregate fair value of the terminated hedge at that time, net of tax, has been classified as a reduction to accumulated other comprehensive items and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt issuance. The company had a cash outlay of $62 million in 2020 associated with termination of the arrangement, included in other financing activities, net, in the accompanying statement of cash flows.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The carrying value and fair value of the company’s notes receivable and debt obligations are as follows:


	March 28, 2020						December 31, 2019
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
(In millions)	Value		Value		Value		Value

Other	16		16		16		16

	$	19,969	$	19,877	$	17,752	$	18,666

The fair value of debt obligations was determined based on quoted market prices and on borrowing rates available to the company at the respective period ends which represent level 2 measurements.
