(1) Cash equivalents primarily correspond to deposits at call with banks. (2) The carrying amount of Tranche B senior unsecured convertible bonds issued on July 3, 2017 as reported above corresponds to the liability component only, since, at initial recognition, the value of the equity instrument embedded in the issued convertible bonds was recorded directly in equity. The initial recognition and subsequent measurements of the convertible bonds are further described in Note 15. The fair value represented the market price of the bonds trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. (3) The carrying amount of the senior unsecured convertible bonds issued on August 4, 2020 as reported above corresponds to the liability component only, since, at initial recognition, an amount of $215 million before allocation of issuance costs and deferred tax effect was recorded directly in equity as the value of the equity instrument embedded in the issued convertible bonds. The initial recognition of the convertible bonds is further described in Note 15. The fair value represented the market price of the bonds trading on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Schedule of Methodologies Used to Estimate Fair Value | The methodologies used to estimate fair value are as follows:
Components | Methodology used to estimate fair value
Debt securities classified as available-for-sale | Quoted market prices for identical instruments
Foreign exchange forward contracts, currency options and collars | Quoted market prices for similar instruments
Equity securities measured at fair value through earnings | Quoted market prices for identical instruments
Equity securities carried at cost as a measurement alternative | Valuation of the underlying investments on a new round of third-party financing or upon liquidation
Long-term debt and current portion of long-term debt | Future cash flows on a borrowing-by-borrowing basis and discounting these future cash flows using the Company's incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements
Cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, and accounts payable | The carrying amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements are considered as reasonable estimates of fair value due to the relatively short period of time between the origination of the instruments and their expected realization.
