11. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Interest Rate Risks and Related Strategies
The Corporation’s primary interest rate exposure results from changes in U.S. dollar interest rates. The Corporation’s policy is to manage interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt.
Debt
The estimated fair value amounts were determined by the Corporation using available market information, which is primarily based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues as of December 31, 2023. The fair values of our debt instruments are characterized as Level 2 measurements which are based on market-based inputs or unobservable inputs and corroborated by market data such as quoted prices, interest rates, or yield curves. The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s fixed rate debt instruments as of December 31, 2023, net of debt issuance costs, totaled $973 million compared to a carrying value, net of debt issuance costs, of $1,046 million. The estimated fair values of the Corporation’s fixed rate debt instruments as of December 31, 2022, net of debt issuance costs, totaled $1,151 million compared to a carrying value, net of debt issuance costs, of $1,248 million.

The fair values described above may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, the use of different methodologies to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value at the reporting date.
