(1)Measured at fair value with impact on the statement of income for the application of the fair value option. (See Note 2 – Fair value option applied to certain financial instruments).
(2)As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 includes $25 million and $21 million, respectively, of investments from securitization transactions that are restricted to the payment of amounts due to third-party investors. (See Note 5 - Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments).
(3)As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 includes $193 million and $314 million, respectively, of money market funds from securitization transactions. (See Note 5 - Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and cash equivalents and investments).
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were valued using i) Level 1 inputs: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets (Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets in active markets); ii) Level 2 inputs: obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments as well as instruments with inactive markets at the measurement date; and iii) Level 3 inputs: valuations based on unobservable inputs reflecting Company’s assumptions. The unobservable inputs of the fair value of contingent considerations classified as Level 3 refer to the amounts to be paid according to the respective agreements of each acquisition, the likelihood of achievement of the performance targets arising from each one (expected to be 100%), and the Company’s historical experience with similar arrangements. Reasonable variation on those unobservable inputs would not significantly change the fair value of those instruments. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company had not changed the methodology nor the assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments.
There were no transfers to and from Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. There were no transfers to and from Levels 1, 2 and 3 during the year ended December 31, 2022, other than as detailed in the table below.
As of September 30, 2023, the contingent considerations measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs were settled. The following table summarizes the reconciliation of the financial liabilities measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs as of December 31, 2022:

The Company’s election of the fair value option applies to the: i) Brazilian federal government bonds and ii) U.S. treasury notes. The Company recognized fair value changes in interest income and other financial gains which includes the related interest income of those instruments. Such fair value changes and interest income amount to $195 million and $81 million, and $104 million and $42 million for the nine and three-month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held no debt securities classified as available for sale. However, during the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company purchased and sold all the corporate debt securities classified as available for sale, resulting in $156 million of proceeds from the sales and in gross realized gains less than $1 million. The cost of these securities was determined under a specific identification basis.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s financial assets (except for loans receivable and equity securities held at cost) not measured at fair value approximated their fair value mainly because of their short-term maturity. If these financial assets were measured at fair value in the financial statements, cash and restricted cash would be classified as Level 1 (where cost and fair value are aligned) and the remaining financial assets would be classified as Level 2. The estimated fair value of the loans receivable would be classified as Level 3 based on the Company’s assumptions.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company’s financial liabilities (except for 2028 Notes, 2026 Sustainability Notes and 2031 Notes) not measured at fair value approximated their fair value mainly because of their short-term maturity and the effective interest rates are not materially different from market interest rates. If these financial liabilities were measured at fair value in the financial statements, these would be classified as Level 2. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the 2026 Sustainability Notes and 2031 Notes would be $365 million and $359 million, and $553 million and $541 million, respectively, based on Level 2 inputs. Also, as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated fair value of the 2028 Notes would be $255 million and $884 million, respectively, and would be classified as Level 2 based on the closing trading price per $100 principal amount of the 2028 Notes as of the last day of trading for the period. The fair value of the 2028 Notes is primarily affected by the trading price of the Company’s common stock and market interest rates. Based on the $1,267.88 closing price of the Company’s common stock on September 30, 2023, the if-converted value of the 2028 Notes exceeded their principal amount by $167 million.
