Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The fair value hierarchy consists of three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - significant other observable market-based inputs. Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists and requires considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2026 and 2025 included investments in money market funds of $843 million and $1.0 billion, respectively, which are reported at fair value. The fair value of money market funds was determined using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets, which are considered to be Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The carrying value of all other cash equivalents approximates their fair value due to their relatively short-term nature. Fair values of the Company’s interest rate swaps, cross-currency swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts were determined using observable inputs from available market information, including quoted interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and other observable inputs from available market information. These inputs are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Refer to Financial Note 14, “Hedging Activities,” for fair values and other information on the Company’s derivatives. The Company holds investments in equity and debt securities of U.S. growth stage companies that address both current and emerging business challenges in the healthcare industry and which had a carrying value of $227 million and $103 million at March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. These investments primarily consist of equity securities without readily determinable fair values and are included in “Other non-current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal 2026, 2025, 2024, the Company recognized impairment charges, unrealized gains, and realized gains on the exit of certain investments. The Company recognized an immaterial gain in fiscal 2026, a net gain of $101 million in fiscal 2025, and a net loss of $24 million in fiscal 2024. These amounts were recorded in “Other income, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Of the gain recognized in fiscal 2025, $100 million relates to a recapitalization event of one of the Company’s investments in equity securities which resulted in an increase to the carrying value of this investment. Proceeds from the sale of a portion of this investment were $92 million. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company exited one of its publicly-traded investments, receiving cash of $97 million and recognizing a gain of $44 million for the year ended March 31, 2025. These were partially offset by $44 million asset impairments recorded in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. The carrying value of publicly traded investments was determined using quoted prices for identical investments in active markets and are considered to be Level 1 inputs. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company’s assets and liabilities are also subject to nonrecurring fair value measurements. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges, including long-lived assets associated with the Company’s restructuring initiatives as discussed in more detail in Financial Note 3, “Restructuring, Impairment, and Related Charges, Net,” or as a result of charges to remeasure assets classified as held for sale to fair value less costs to sell. The aforementioned investments in equity securities of U.S. growth stage companies include the carrying value of investments without readily determinable fair values, which were determined using a measurement alternative and are recorded at cost less impairment, plus or minus any changes in observable price from orderly transactions of the same or similar security of the same issuer. These inputs related to changes in observable price are considered Level 2 under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Inputs related to impairments of investments are generally considered Level 3 fair value measurements due to their inherently unobservable nature based on significant assumptions by management and use of company-specific information. There were no other material assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2026 and 2025. Other Fair Value Disclosures At March 31, 2026 and 2025, the carrying amounts of cash, certain cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, drafts and accounts payable, and other current liabilities approximated their estimated fair values because of the short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The Company determines the fair value of commercial paper using quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments, which are considered Level 1 inputs under the fair value measurements and disclosure guidance. The Company’s long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The carrying value and fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was as follows:
| March 31, 2026 |  | March 31, 2025 |  |
(In millions) | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Value |  | Fair Value |  |
Long-term debt, including current maturities | $ | 6,526 |  |  | $ | 6,549 |  |  | $ | 5,654 |  |  | $ | 5,598 |  |  |
The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was determined using quoted market prices in a less active market and other observable inputs from available market information, which are considered to be Level 2 inputs, and may not be representative of actual values that could have been realized or that will be realized in the future. Goodwill Fair value assessments of the reporting unit and the reporting unit's net assets, which are performed for goodwill impairment tests, are considered a Level 3 measurement due to the significance of unobservable inputs developed using company-specific information. The Company considered a market approach as well as an income approach using a DCF model to determine the fair value of each reporting unit. Long-lived Assets The Company utilizes multiple approaches including the DCF model and market approaches for estimating the fair value of intangible assets. The future cash flows used in the analysis are based on internal cash flow projections from its long-range plans and include significant assumptions by management. Accordingly, the fair value assessment of long-lived assets is considered a Level 3 fair value measurement. The Company measures certain long-lived and intangible assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis when events occur that indicate an asset group may not be recoverable. If the carrying amount of an asset group is not recoverable, an impairment charge is recorded to reduce the carrying amount by the excess over its fair value. Refer to Financial Note 3, “Restructuring, Impairment, and Related Charges, Net” under the heading “Long-Lived Asset Impairments” for more information.
