Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value measurements are estimated based on valuation techniques and inputs categorized as follows:
• | Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• | Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and
• | Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are financial instruments whose values are determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
If the inputs used to measure the financial assets and liabilities fall within more than one level described above, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following fair value hierarchy table presents the components and classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2019 and 2018:
|  | 2019 |  | 2018
(in millions) |  | Carrying Value |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |  | Carrying Value |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

There were no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during 2019 and 2018. Cross-currency Swaps During 2019, the Company entered into cross-currency swaps, with aggregate notional amounts of $1,250 million, to mitigate fluctuation in the value of a portion of its euro-denominated net investment in its consolidated financial statements from adverse movements in exchange rates. The euro-denominated net investment being hedged is the Company’s investment in certain euro-denominated subsidiaries. Prior to 2019, the Company had no derivative instruments for any period presented. The fair value of the Company’s cross-currency swaps liability as of December 31, 2019 was $13 million. Included in Other non-current liabilities is $22 million of cross-currency swaps liability and included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets is $9 million of earned interest within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table presents the effect of hedging instruments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss for the year 2019:
(in millions) |  | Loss recognized in Other comprehensive loss |  | Gain excluded from assessment of hedge effectiveness |  | Location of gain in income of excluded component
Cross-currency swaps |  | $ | 22 |  |  | $ | 9 |  |  | Interest expense
During 2019, there were no payments or receipts in settlement of the Company’s cross-currency swaps as the settlement dates occur in February and August of each year, with the first settlement in February 2020. Future settlements of the Company’s cross-currency swaps will be reported as investing activities in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Acquisition-related Contingent Consideration Obligations The fair value measurement of acquisition-related contingent consideration arising from business combinations is determined via a probability-weighted discounted cash flow analysis or Monte Carlo Simulation (if deemed appropriate), using unobservable (Level 3) inputs. These inputs may include: (i) the estimated amount and timing of projected cash flows, (ii) the probability of the achievement of the factor(s) on which the contingency is based, (iii) the risk-adjusted discount rate used to present value the probability-weighted cash flows and (iv) volatility of projected performance (Monte Carlo Simulation). Significant increases (decreases) in any of those inputs in isolation could result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement. At December 31, 2019, the fair value measurements of acquisition-related contingent consideration were determined using risk-adjusted discount rates ranging from 5% to 25%. The following table presents a reconciliation of contingent consideration obligations measured on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for 2019 and 2018:
(in millions) |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Beginning balance, January 1, |  |  |  | $ | 339 |  |  |  |  | $ | 387 |
Adjustments to Acquisition-related contingent consideration: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis The following table presents the components and classification of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis:
|  | December 31, 2019 |  | December 31, 2018
(in millions) |  | Carrying Value |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |  | Carrying Value |  | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) |  | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) |  | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Other non-current assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |

Non-current assets held for sale of $39 million included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2019 were remeasured to estimated fair values less costs to sell. Included in Asset impairments in 2019 is a charge of $8 million associated with these assets held for sale. The estimated fair values of these assets less costs to sell were determined using a discounted cash flow analysis which utilized Level 3 unobservable inputs. See Note 4, "DIVESTITURES" for additional details regarding these assets held for sale. Fair Value of Long-term Debt The fair value of long-term debt as of December 31, 2019 and 2018 was $27,520 million and $23,357 million, respectively, and was estimated using the quoted market prices for the same or similar debt issuances (Level 2).
