Derivative Instruments

Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may enter into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee, consistent with the Company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk.

The Company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions and major commodity exchanges. The Company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The Company utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit losses. The Company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected. Market and counterparty credit risks associated with these instruments are regularly reported to management.

The notional amounts of the Company's derivative instruments were as follows:

1. Presented net of contracts bought and sold.

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal earnings impact, after taxes. The Company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the Company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on the contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.

Foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedges are used to offset foreign exchange gains or losses resulting from the underlying exposures of foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities. The amount recognized on a pre-tax basis related to foreign currency derivatives not designated as hedges, which was included in “Other income (expense) - net” in the unaudited interim Consolidated Statements of Operations, were gains of $59 million andzero for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $30 million andzero for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
