(1) We consider all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The cost of these investments approximates fair value.
(2) For available-for-sale debt securities, amounts disclosed represent the securities' amortized cost.
(3) Fair value disclosures are not applicable for equity method investments and investments accounted for under the measurement alternative for equity investments.

Risk Management and Related Financial Instruments
To manage foreign currency and interest rate risk, we may enter into derivative instruments intended to offset losses and gains on the assets, liabilities, and transactions being hedged. Such instruments are entered into in accordance with documented corporate risk-management policies.
Foreign Currency Risk
As a global company, we face foreign currency risk exposure from fluctuating currency exchange rates, primarily the U.S. dollar against the euro, Japanese yen, and Chinese yuan. We manage foreign currency risk primarily through the use of foreign currency debt and foreign currency forward contracts. Our foreign currency-denominated notes designated as accounting hedges had carrying amounts of $3.6 billion and $6.0 billion as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The following table summarizes the aggregate outstanding notional amounts of our foreign currency forward contracts in U.S. dollar equivalent:

Forward contracts generally have maturities not exceeding 12 months.
Interest Rate Risk
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates which can vary the costs of financing, investing, and operating. Our primary interest-rate risk exposure results from changes in short-term U.S. dollar interest rates. In an effort to manage interest-rate exposures, we may enter into derivative contracts to achieve an acceptable balance between fixed- and floating-rate debt or to reduce cash flow variability from changes in interest rates as part of anticipated debt issuances. The impact of our interest rate contracts on our consolidated condensed financial statements was not material for all periods presented.
