Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements | Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements The following reconciles cash and equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets at March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024 to the total of these amounts shown on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
(Millions of dollars) | March 31, 2025 |  | September 30, 2024
Cash and equivalents | $ | 667 |  |  | $ | 1,717 |
Restricted cash | 80 |  |  | 139 |
Cash and equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 747 |  |  | $ | 1,856 |
Cash equivalents consist of all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at time of purchase. Restricted cash consists of cash restricted from withdrawal and usage except for certain product liability matters. The fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:
(Millions of dollars) | Basis of fair value measurement |  | March 31, 2025 |  | September 30, 2024
Institutional money market accounts (a) | Level 1 |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 285 |
Current portion of long-term debt (b) | Level 2 |  | 858 |  |  | 1,748 |
Long-term debt (b) | Level 2 |  | 16,538 |  |  | 17,199 |
(a)These financial instruments are recorded within Cash and equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The institutional money market accounts permit daily redemption. The fair values of these investments are based upon the quoted prices in active markets provided by the holding financial institutions. (b)Long-term debt is recorded at amortized cost. The fair value of long-term debt is measured based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments. Short-term investments are held to their maturities and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The short-term investments primarily consist of time deposits with maturities greater than three months and less than one year. All other instruments measured by the Company at fair value, including derivatives, contingent consideration liabilities and available-for-sale debt securities, are immaterial to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets. Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements In the first quarter of fiscal year 2025, the Company recorded a non-cash asset impairment charge of $30 million to Research and development expense to write down the carrying value of certain assets in the Life Sciences segment. The amount recognized was recorded to adjust the carrying amount of assets to the assets' fair values, which were estimated, based upon a market participant's perspective, using Level 3 measurements, including values estimated using the income approach. Transfers of Trade Receivables Over the normal course of its business activities, the Company transfers certain trade receivable assets to third parties under factoring agreements. Per the terms of these agreements, the Company surrenders control over its trade receivables upon transfer. Accordingly, the Company accounts for the transfers as sales of trade receivables by recognizing an increase to Cash and equivalents and a decrease to Trade receivables, net when proceeds from the transactions are received. The costs incurred by the Company in connection with factoring activities were not material to its consolidated financial results. The amounts transferred and yet to be remitted under factoring arrangements are provided below.

Supplier Finance Programs The Company has agreements where participating suppliers are provided the ability to receive early payment of the Company’s obligations at a nominal discount through supplier finance programs entered into with third party financial institutions. The Company is not a party to these arrangements, and these programs do not impact the Company’s obligations or affect the Company’s payment terms, which generally range from 90 to 150 days. The agreements with the financial institutions do not require the Company to provide assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees for the supplier finance programs. The Company had $200 million and $112 million of outstanding payables related to supplier finance programs as of March 31, 2025 and September 30, 2024, respectively, which were recorded within Payables, accrued expenses and other current liabilities on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets.
