(1) Government debt includes instruments such as U.S. treasury notes, U.S. agency securities and non-U.S. government bonds. Money market funds invested in government debt and traded in active markets are included in Level 1. (2) As of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, $67 million and $78 million, respectively, of debt securities were restricted to fund benefits received by qualifying employees under a sponsored defined benefit plan. All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of acquisition are considered cash equivalents. As of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, the carrying amount of cash equivalents approximated fair value due to the short period of time to maturity. The estimated fair value of the available-for-sale investments may not be representative of values that will be realized in the future. Contractual maturities of investments in available-for-sale debt securities were as follows:
| As of July 31, 2025
| Amortized Cost |  | Fair Value
| In millions
Due in one year | $ | 17 |  |  | $ | 17 |
Due in one to five years | 53 |  |  | 53 |
| $ | 70 |  |  | $ | 70 |
Non-marketable equity securities in privately held companies are included in Other current and non-current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounted to $119 million and $107 million as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, respectively. HP determines credit losses on cash equivalents and available-for-sale debt securities at the individual security level. All instruments are considered investment grade. No credit-related or noncredit-related impairment losses were recorded for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025. Derivative Instruments HP uses derivative instruments, primarily forward contracts, interest rate swaps, total return swaps, treasury rate locks, forward starting swaps and option contracts to offset business exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk on expected future cash flows and on certain existing assets and liabilities. HP may designate its derivative contracts as fair value hedges or cash flow hedges and classifies the cash flows with the activities that correspond to the underlying hedged items. Additionally, for derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, HP categorizes those economic hedges as other derivatives. HP recognizes all derivative instruments at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result of its use of derivative instruments, HP is exposed to the risk that its counterparties will fail to meet their contractual obligations. Master netting agreements mitigate credit exposure to counterparties by permitting HP to net amounts due from HP to counterparty against amounts due to HP from the same counterparty under certain conditions. To further limit credit risk, HP has collateral security agreements that allow HP’s custodian to hold collateral from, or require HP to post collateral to, counterparties when the net fair value of financial instruments fluctuates from contractually established thresholds. The Company includes gross collateral posted and received in other current assets and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. The fair value of derivatives with credit contingent features in a net liability position was $242 million and $59 million as of July 31, 2025 and as of October 31, 2024, respectively, all of which were fully collateralized within two business days. Under HP’s derivative contracts, the counterparty can terminate all outstanding trades following a covered change of control event affecting HP that results in the surviving entity being rated below a specified credit rating. This credit contingent provision did not affect HP’s financial position or cash flows as of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024. Fair Value Hedges HP enters into fair value hedges, such as interest rate swaps, to reduce the exposure of its debt portfolio to changes in fair value resulting from changes in benchmark interest rates on HP’s future interest payments. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as fair value hedges, HP recognizes the change in fair value of the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged item, in Interest and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the period of change. Cash Flow Hedges HP uses forward contracts, option contracts, treasury rate locks and forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange and interest rate risks inherent in its forecasted products net revenue, cost of products net revenue, operating expenses and debt issuance. HP’s foreign currency cash flow hedges mature predominantly within twelve months; however, hedges related to long-term procurement arrangements, contractual pricing and/or business unit specific exposures may extend several years. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, HP initially records changes in fair value of the derivative instrument in Accumulated other comprehensive loss as a separate component of Stockholders’ deficit in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassifies these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction is recognized in earnings. HP reports the changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument in the same financial statement line item as changes in the fair value of the hedged item. Other Derivatives Other derivatives not designated as hedging instruments consist primarily of forward contracts used to hedge foreign currency-denominated balance sheet exposures. HP also uses total return swaps to hedge its executive deferred compensation plan liability. For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, HP recognizes changes in fair value of the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting change in the fair value of the hedged item, in Interest and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings in the period of change. Hedge Effectiveness For interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges, HP measures hedge effectiveness by offsetting the change in fair value of the hedged item with the change in fair value of the derivative. For foreign currency options, forward contracts and forward starting swaps designated as cash flow hedges, HP measures hedge effectiveness by comparing the cumulative change in fair value of the hedge contract with the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item, both of which are based on forward rates. During the three and nine months ended July 31, 2025 and 2024, no portion of the hedging instruments’ gain or loss was excluded from the assessment of effectiveness for fair value and cash flow hedges. Fair Value of Derivative Instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets The gross notional and fair value of derivative instruments in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows:
| As of July 31, 2025 |  | As of October 31, 2024

Offsetting of Derivative Instruments HP recognizes all derivative instruments on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. HP does not offset the fair value of its derivative instruments against the fair value of cash collateral posted under its collateral security agreements. As of July 31, 2025 and October 31, 2024, information related to the potential effect of HP’s master netting agreements and collateral security agreements was as follows:

As of July 31, 2025, HP expects to reclassify an estimated accumulated other comprehensive loss of $162 million, net of taxes, to earnings within the next twelve months associated with cash flow hedges along with the earnings effects of the related forecasted transactions. The amounts ultimately reclassified into earnings could be different from the amounts previously included in Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income based on the change of market rate, and therefore could have different impacts on earnings. The pre-tax effect of derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments recognized in Interest and other, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as follows:
| Gain/(loss) recognized in earnings on derivative instrument
