Note 14. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measures
Credit and Market Risk—Financial instruments, including derivatives, expose us to counterparty
credit risk for nonperformance and to market risk related to changes in interest and currency exchange
rates and commodity prices. We manage our exposure to counterparty credit risk through specific
minimum credit standards, diversification of counterparties, and procedures to monitor concentrations
of credit risk. Our counterparties in derivative transactions are substantial investment and commercial
banks with significant experience using such derivative instruments. We monitor the impact of market
risk on the fair value and cash flows of our derivative and other financial instruments considering
reasonably possible changes in interest rates and currency exchange rates and restrict the use of
derivative financial instruments to hedging activities.
We continually monitor the creditworthiness of our customers to which we grant credit terms in the
normal course of business. The terms and conditions of our credit sales are designed to mitigate or
eliminate concentrations of credit risk with any single customer. Our sales are not materially dependent
on a single customer or a small group of customers.
Foreign Currency Risk Management—We conduct our business on a multinational basis in a
wide variety of foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in foreign currency
exchange rates arises from international financing activities between subsidiaries, foreign currency
denominated monetary assets and liabilities and transactions arising from international trade. Our
primary objective is to preserve the U.S. Dollar value of foreign currency denominated cash flows and
earnings. We attempt to hedge currency exposures with natural offsets to the fullest extent possible
and, once these opportunities have been exhausted, through foreign currency exchange forward and
option contracts with third parties.
We hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies. Prior to
conversion into U.S. dollars, these assets and liabilities are remeasured at spot exchange rates in
effect on the balance sheet date. The effects of changes in spot rates are recognized in earnings and
included in Other (Income) Expense. We partially hedge forecasted sales and purchases, which
predominantly occur in the next twelve months and are denominated in non-functional currencies, with
currency forward contracts. Changes in the forecasted non-functional currency cash flows due to
movements in exchange rates are substantially offset by changes in the fair value of the currency
forward contracts designated as hedges. Market value gains and losses on these contracts are
recognized in earnings when the hedged transaction is recognized. Open foreign currency exchange
forward contracts mature predominantly in the next twelve months. At December 31, 2014 and 2013,
we had contracts with notional amounts of $7,291 million and $7,298 million, respectively, to exchange
