2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2016. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Preparing financial statements requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts that are reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on our best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from these estimates. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the full fiscal year.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of us and our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions between us and our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries have been eliminated in the consolidation. For those consolidated subsidiaries in which our ownership is less than 100% and for which we have control over the assets and liabilities and the management of the entity, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as non-controlling interests. In instances where outside stockholders hold an option to require us to repurchase the outside stockholders’ interest, these interests are shown as redeemable non-controlling interests.
New and Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), or ASU 606. ASU 606 provides guidance outlining a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. This guidance requires us to recognize revenue when we transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We are required to adopt ASU 606 at the beginning of our first quarter of fiscal 2018. The new guidance requires enhanced disclosures, including revenue recognition policies to identify performance obligations to customers and significant judgments in measurement and recognition. The new guidance may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the overall impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements, as well as the method of adoption. Based on our preliminary assessment, we expect that the adoption may accelerate the timing of recognition of original and supplemental listing fees related to our NYSE businesses, which are currently deferred over a pre-defined customer life of five or nine years. We are continuing our assessment, which may identify other impacts of the adoption of ASU 606.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, or ASU 2016-01. ASU 2016-01 provides updated
guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of certain financial assets and liabilities, including the requirement that equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) are to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. ASU 2016-01 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. With the sale of our Cetip investment, we no longer have any equity investments that would be required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income (Note 10).
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, Leases, or ASU 2016-02. ASU 2016-02 requires an entity to recognize both assets and liabilities arising from financing and operating leases, along with additional qualitative and quantitative disclosures. A lessee should recognize in its balance sheet a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating this guidance to determine the potential impact on our consolidated financial statements and whether we will adopt this guidance early.
The FASB has issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash, or ASU 2016-18, that will require entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, the new guidance requires a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet. This reconciliation can be presented either on the face of the statement of cash flows or in the notes to the financial statements. Entities will also have to disclose the nature of their restricted cash and restricted cash equivalent balances. ASU 2016-18 becomes effective for us in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted. We will be required to apply the guidance retrospectively when adopted, and provide the relevant disclosures in the first interim and annual periods in which we adopt the guidance. We will not adopt ASU 2016-18 early, but do expect to be impacted by the new presentation and disclosure requirements required by ASU 2016-18 due to our restricted and unrestricted cash balances.

3. | Acquisitions and Divestitures |
National Stock Exchange Acquisition
On January 31, 2017, we acquired 100% of National Stock Exchange, Inc., now named NYSE National. The acquisition gives the NYSE Group a fourth U.S. exchange license. NYSE National is distinct from NYSE Group’s three listings exchanges because NYSE National will only be a trading venue and will not be a listings market. NYSE Group’s three listings exchanges, NYSE, NYSE MKT and NYSE Arca, have unique market models designed for corporate and ETF issuers. Upon closing the transaction, NYSE National ceased operations on February 1, 2017. We will engage with NYSE National members, buy-side participants and retail brokerage firms before finalizing operational plans for NYSE National’s re-launch, which is expected to occur in 2017.
Trayport Acquisition and Potential Divestiture
On December 11, 2015, we acquired 100% of Trayport in a stock transaction. The total purchase price was $620 million, comprised of 12.6 million shares of our common stock. Trayport is a software company that licenses its technology to serve exchanges, OTC brokers and traders to facilitate electronic and hybrid trade execution primarily in the energy markets. The acquisition enables us to provide new technology and software-related services to our energy customers.
The U.K. Competition and Markets Authority, or the CMA, undertook a review of our acquisition of Trayport under the merger control laws of the U.K. In October 2016, the CMA issued its findings and ordered a divestment of Trayport to remedy what the CMA indicated it believed to be a substantial lessening of competition in the supply of trade execution services and trade clearing services to energy traders in the European Economic Area. In November 2016, we filed an appeal with the Competition Appeal Tribunal, or the CAT, to challenge the CMA’s decision. In March 2017, the CAT upheld the CMA decision that we should divest Trayport. Following careful consideration of the CAT’s judgment, we are seeking to appeal the CAT’s decision at the U.K. Court of Appeals. If we are allowed to appeal to the U.K. Court of Appeals and if our appeal is successful, the matter will be remanded for additional review. If our appeal is not allowed or not successful, we will be obligated to sell Trayport. There is no certainty of the price we could receive if a sale were required. The timing of a final decision is uncertain at this time. Until a final determination is made as to whether we are permitted to retain Trayport, we will not integrate Trayport into our existing business operations.
The functional currency of Trayport is the pound sterling, as this is the currency in which Trayport operates. The $620 million in Trayport net assets were recorded on our December 11, 2015 opening balance sheet at a pound sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate of 1.5218 (£407 million). Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate the Trayport net assets into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates in effect at the end of each reporting period. Therefore, increases or decreases in the value
of the U.S. dollar against the pound sterling will affect the value of the Trayport balance sheet, with gains or losses included in the cumulative translation adjustment account, a component of equity. As of the result of the decrease in the pounds sterling/U.S. dollar exchange rate to 1.2552 as of March 31, 2017, the portion of our equity attributable to the Trayport net assets in accumulated other comprehensive loss from foreign currency translation was $108 million as of March 31, 2017. If we are required to sell Trayport, we would include the accumulated translation adjustment when computing the gain or loss from the sale.
Interactive Data Managed Solutions Divestiture
On March 31, 2017, we sold Interactive Data Managed Solutions, or IDMS, a unit of Interactive Data, to FactSet. There was no gain or loss recognized on the sale of IDMS. IDMS is a managed solutions and portal provider for the global wealth management industry.

We completed the acquisition of NYSE National and sold IDMS during the three months ended March 31, 2017 (Note 3). The foreign currency translation adjustments in the tables above result from a portion of our goodwill and other intangible assets being held at our U.K., Continental European and Canadian subsidiaries, some of whose functional currencies are not the U.S. dollar. The changes in other activity, net in the tables above primarily relate to adjustments to the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities relating to the acquisitions, with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. We did not recognize any impairment losses on goodwill or other intangible assets during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.
Deferred revenue represents cash received that is yet to be recognized as revenue. Total deferred revenue was $567 million as of March 31, 2017, including $440 million in current deferred revenue and $127 million in non-current deferred revenue.

Credit Facility
We have entered into a $3.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility, or the Credit Facility, with a maturity date of November 13, 2020. The Credit Facility includes an option for us to propose an increase in the aggregate amount available for borrowing by up to $1.0 billion, subject to the consent of the lenders funding the increase and certain other conditions. In November 2015, we utilized this option to increase the amount of the Credit Facility to $3.4 billion. The commitments under the Credit Facility will automatically reduce to $3.2 billion on April 3, 2019. No amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017.
Of the $3.4 billion that is currently available for borrowing under the Credit Facility, $1.5 billion is required to back-stop the amount outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program as of March 31, 2017. The amount required to back-stop the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program will fluctuate as we increase or decrease our commercial paper borrowings. The remaining $1.9 billion available under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2017 is available to us to use for working capital and general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, acting as a back-stop to future increases in the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program or to fund the redemption of the NYSE Notes discussed below.
Commercial Paper Program
We have entered into a U.S. dollar commercial paper program, or the Commercial Paper Program. Our Commercial Paper Program is currently backed by the borrowing capacity available under the Credit Facility, equal to the amount of the commercial paper that is issued and outstanding at any given point in time. The effective interest rate of commercial paper issuances does not materially differ from short term interest rates (such as USD LIBOR). The fluctuation of these rates due to market conditions may impact our interest expense.
Commercial paper notes of $1.5 billion with original maturities ranging from 3 to 81 days were outstanding as of March 31, 2017 under our Commercial Paper Program. As of March 31, 2017, the weighted average interest rate on the $1.5 billion outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program was 0.95% per annum, with a weighted average maturity of 21 days. We repaid $117 million of the amounts outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program during the three months ended March 31, 2017 primarily using cash flows from operations.
NYSE Notes
The $850 million, 2.00% senior unsecured fixed rate NYSE Notes are due in October 2017. We currently plan to fund the redemption of the NYSE Notes with the issuance of new senior term notes. However, if we are unable to issue new senior term notes or to do so on favorable terms, then we would fund the NYSE Notes redemption under the Commercial Paper Program or with the unused amount available under the Credit Facility, or a combination of these sources.
We currently sponsor employee and director stock option and restricted stock plans. Stock options and restricted stock are granted at the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors. All stock options and restricted stock awards are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair value of the common stock on the date of grant. The grant date fair value is based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. The fair value of the stock options and restricted stock on the date of grant is recognized as expense over the vesting period, net of estimated forfeitures. The non-cash compensation expenses recognized in our consolidated statements of income for stock options and restricted stock were $34 million and $29 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Stock Option Plans
The following is a summary of stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2017:
|
| | | | | | |
| Number of Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price per Option |
Outstanding at December 31, 2016 | 3,878,705 |
| | $ | 36.05 |
|
Granted | 723,533 |
| | 57.31 |
|
Exercised | (111,240 | ) | | 27.92 |
|
Outstanding at March 31, 2017 | 4,490,998 |
| | 39.68 |
|
Details of stock options outstanding as of March 31, 2017 are as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Number of Options | | Weighted Average Exercise Price | | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | | Aggregate Intrinsic Value (In millions) |
Vested or expected to vest | 4,490,998 |
| | $ | 39.68 |
| | 7.0 | | $ | 91 |
|
Exercisable | 3,062,860 |
| | $ | 33.81 |
| | 6.0 | | $ | 80 |
|
The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $3 million. As of March 31, 2017, there were $13 million in total unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years as the stock options vest.
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model for purposes of valuing stock option awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we used the weighted-average assumptions in the table below to compute the value of all options for shares of common stock granted to employees:
|
| | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended March 31, |
Assumptions: | 2017 | | 2016 |
Risk-free interest rate | 1.84 | % | | 1.51 | % |
Expected life in years | 5.0 |
| | 5.0 |
|
Expected volatility | 21 | % | | 24 | % |
Expected dividend yield | 1.40 | % | | 1.36 | % |
Estimated weighted-average fair value of options granted per share | $ | 10.49 |
| | $ | 9.88 |
|
The risk-free interest rate is based on the zero-coupon U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected life computation is derived from historical exercise patterns and anticipated future patterns. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of our stock.
Restricted Stock Plans
In January 2017, we reserved a maximum of 1,534,218 restricted shares for potential issuance as performance-based restricted shares to certain of our employees. The number of shares that will ultimately be granted under this award will be based on our actual financial performance as compared to financial performance targets set by our board of directors and compensation committee for the year ending December 31, 2017, as well as our 2017 total shareholder return as compared to that of the S&P 500 Index. The maximum compensation expense to be recognized under these performance-based restricted shares is $85 million if the maximum financial performance target is met and all 1,534,218 shares vest. The compensation expense to be recognized under these performance-based restricted shares will be $42 million if the target financial performance is met, which would result in 767,109 shares vesting. We will recognize expense on an accelerated basis over the three-year vesting period based on our quarterly assessment of the probable 2017 actual financial performance as compared to the 2017 financial performance targets. As of March 31, 2017, we determined that it is probable that the financial performance level will be at target for 2017. Based on this assessment, we recorded non-cash compensation expense of $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017 related to these shares and the remaining $37 million in non-cash compensation expense will be recorded on an accelerated basis over the remaining vesting period, including $19 million of which will be recorded over the remainder of 2017.
The following is a summary of the non-vested restricted shares for the three months ended March 31, 2017:
|
| | | | | |
| Number of Restricted Stock Shares | | Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value per Share |
Non-vested at December 31, 2016 | 6,435,871 | | $ | 45.33 |
|
Granted | 2,971,902 | | 56.97 |
|
Vested | (3,023,025) | | 44.25 |
|
Forfeited | (86,044) | | 50.40 |
|
Non-vested at March 31, 2017 | 6,298,704 | | 51.81 |
|
Restricted stock shares granted in the table above include both time-based and performance-based grants. Performance-based shares have been presented to reflect the actual shares to be issued based on the achievement of past performance targets. Non-vested performance-based restricted shares granted are presented in the table above at the target number of restricted shares that would vest if the maximum performance targets are met. As of March 31, 2017, there were $235 million in total unrecognized compensation costs related to the time-based restricted stock and the performance-based restricted stock. These costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years as the restricted stock vests. These unrecognized compensation costs assume that a target performance level will be met on the performance-based restricted shares granted in January 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, the total fair value of restricted stock vested under all restricted stock plans was $175 million and $103 million, respectively.
Stock Repurchase Program
In August 2016, our board of directors approved an aggregate of $1.0 billion for future repurchases of our common stock with no fixed expiration date, subject to applicable laws and regulations. The shares repurchased are held in treasury stock. As of March 31, 2017, the remaining board authorization permits repurchases of up to $721 million of our common stock. We expect funding for any share repurchases to come from our operating cash flow or borrowings under our debt facilities or commercial paper program. Repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market, through established trading plans, in privately-negotiated transactions or otherwise, in accordance with all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. We have entered into a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, as authorized by our board of directors, to govern some or all of the repurchases of our shares of common stock, and we began to repurchase shares in October 2016. We may discontinue the stock repurchases at any time and may amend or terminate the Rule 10b5-1 trading plan at any time. The approval of our board of directors for the share repurchases does not obligate us to acquire any particular amount of our common stock. In addition, our board of directors may increase or decrease the amount of capacity we have for repurchases from time to time.
During the three months ended March 31, 2017, we repurchased 3,911,026 shares of our outstanding common stock at a cost of $229 million. These repurchases were completed on the open market and under our 10b5-1 trading plan. The timing and extent of future repurchases that are not made pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan will be at our discretion and will depend upon many conditions. Our management periodically reviews whether or not to be active in repurchasing our stock. In making a determination regarding any stock repurchases, we consider multiple factors. The factors may include: overall stock market conditions, our common stock price movements, the remaining amount authorized for repurchases by our board of directors, the potential impact of a stock repurchase program on our corporate debt ratings, our expected free cash flow and working capital needs, our current and future planned strategic growth initiatives, and other potential uses of our cash and capital resources.
Dividends
During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, we paid cash dividends per share of $0.20 and $0.17, respectively, for an aggregate payout of $120 million and $102 million, respectively. The declaration of dividends is subject to the discretion of our board of directors, and may be affected by various factors, including our future earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, levels of indebtedness, credit ratings and other considerations our board of directors deem relevant. Our board of directors has adopted a quarterly dividend declaration policy providing that the declaration of any dividends will be determined quarterly by the board or audit committee of the board of directors taking into account such factors as our evolving business model, prevailing business conditions and our financial results and capital requirements, without a predetermined annual net income payout ratio.
Our effective tax rate was 30% for both the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were lower than the federal statutory rate primarily due to favorable foreign income tax rate differentials, partially offset by state income taxes. Favorable foreign income tax rate differentials result primarily from lower income tax rates in the U.K. and various other lower tax jurisdictions as compared to the income tax rates in the U.S.
Our non-U.S. subsidiaries had $4.0 billion in cumulative undistributed earnings as of March 31, 2017. This amount represents the post-income tax earnings under U.S. GAAP adjusted for previously taxed income. The earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries are
considered to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, no provision for U.S. federal and state income taxes has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Further, a determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability is not practicable. Any future distribution by way of dividend of these non-U.S. earnings may subject us to both U.S. federal and state income taxes, as adjusted for non-U.S. tax credits, and withholding taxes payable to various non-U.S. countries.
We operate regulated central counterparty clearing houses for the settlement and clearance of derivative contracts. The clearing houses include ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Credit, ICE Clear US, ICE Clear Canada, ICE Clear Netherlands and ICE Clear Singapore (referred to herein collectively as the “ICE Clearing Houses”).
| |
• | ICE Clear Europe performs the clearing and settlement for all futures and options contracts traded through ICE Futures Europe and ICE Endex, for energy futures and options contracts trading through ICE Futures U.S., and for CDS contracts submitted for clearing in Europe. |
| |
• | ICE Clear Credit performs the clearing and settlement for CDS contracts submitted for clearing in North America. |
| |
• | ICE Clear US performs the clearing and settlement of agricultural, metals, currencies and financial futures and options contracts traded through ICE Futures U.S. |
| |
• | ICE Clear Canada performs the clearing and settlement for all futures and options contracts traded through ICE Futures Canada. |
| |
• | ICE Clear Netherlands offers clearing for The Order Machine, a multi-lateral trading facility for equity options. |
| |
• | ICE Clear Singapore performs the clearing and settlement for all futures and options contracts traded through ICE Futures Singapore. |
Each of the ICE Clearing Houses requires all clearing members to maintain cash on deposit or pledge certain assets, which may include government obligations, non-government obligations or gold to guarantee performance of the clearing members’ open positions. Such amounts in total are known as “original margin”. The ICE Clearing Houses may make intraday original margin calls in circumstances where market conditions require additional protection. The daily profits and losses from and to the ICE Clearing Houses due to the marking-to-market of open contracts is known as “variation margin”. The ICE Clearing Houses mark all outstanding contracts to market, and therefore pay and collect variation margin, at least once daily, and in some cases multiple times throughout the day. Marking-to-market allows the ICE Clearing Houses to identify any clearing members that may be unable to satisfy the financial obligations resulting from changes in the prices of their open contracts before those financial obligations become exceptionally large and jeopardize the ability of the ICE Clearing Houses to ensure financial performance of clearing members’ open positions.
Each of the ICE Clearing Houses requires that each clearing member make deposits into a fund known as a “guaranty fund”, which is maintained by the relevant ICE Clearing House. These amounts serve to secure the obligations of a clearing member to the ICE Clearing House to which it has made the guaranty fund deposit and may be used to cover losses sustained by the respective ICE Clearing House in the event of a default of a clearing member.
The ICE Clearing Houses seek to reduce their exposure through a risk management program that includes initial and ongoing financial standards for clearing member admission and continued membership, original and variation margin requirements, and mandatory deposits to the guaranty fund. The amounts that the clearing members are required to maintain in the original margin and guaranty fund accounts are determined by standardized parameters established by the risk management departments and reviewed by the risk committees and the boards of directors of each of the ICE Clearing Houses and may fluctuate over time. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the ICE Clearing Houses have received or have been pledged $97.7 billion and $95.7 billion, respectively, in cash and non-cash collateral in original margin and guaranty fund deposits to cover price movements of underlying contracts for both periods. The ICE Clearing Houses also have powers of assessment that provide the ability to collect additional funds from their clearing members to cover a defaulting member’s remaining obligations up to the limits established under the respective rules of each ICE Clearing House.
Should a particular clearing member fail to deposit original margin, or fail to make a variation margin payment, when and as required, the relevant ICE Clearing House may liquidate or hedge the clearing member’s open positions and use the clearing member’s original margin and guaranty fund deposits to make up any amount owed. In the event that those deposits are not sufficient to pay the amount owed in full, the ICE Clearing Houses may utilize the respective guaranty fund deposits of their respective clearing members on a pro-rata basis for that purpose.
We have contributed $150 million, $50 million and $50 million in cash to the ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Credit and ICE Clear US guaranty funds, respectively, as of March 31, 2017, and such amounts are at risk and could be used in the event of a clearing member default where the amount of the defaulting clearing member’s original margin and guaranty fund deposits are insufficient. We have also contributed $3 million in cash in total to the ICE Clear Canada, ICE Clear Netherlands and ICE Clear Singapore guaranty
funds. The $253 million combined contributions to the guaranty funds as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are included in long-term restricted cash in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
As of March 31, 2017, our cash margin deposits and guaranty fund are as follows for the ICE Clearing Houses (in millions):

We have recorded these cash deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as current assets with corresponding current liabilities to the clearing members of the relevant ICE Clearing House. All cash and securities are available only to meet the financial obligations of that clearing member to the relevant ICE Clearing House. ICE Clear Europe, ICE Clear Credit, ICE Clear US, ICE Clear Canada, ICE Clear Netherlands and ICE Clear Singapore are separate legal entities and are not subject to the liabilities of the other ICE Clearing Houses or the obligations of the members of the other ICE Clearing Houses. The amount of these cash deposits may fluctuate due to the types of margin collateral choices available to clearing members and the change in the amount of deposits required. As a result, these assets and corresponding liabilities may vary significantly over time.
Of the cash held by the ICE Clearing Houses, as of March 31, 2017, $31.9 billion is secured in reverse repurchase agreements with primarily overnight maturities or direct investment in government securities. ICE Clear Credit, a systemically important financial market utility as designated by the Financial Stability Oversight Council, held $17.3 billion of its U.S. dollar cash in the guaranty fund and in original margin in cash accounts at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago as of March 31, 2017. The remaining cash deposits at the ICE Clearing Houses are held in demand deposit accounts at large, highly rated financial institutions and directly in U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of less than 12 months. The carrying value of these securities approximates their fair value due to the short-term nature of the instruments and repurchase agreements.
In addition to the cash deposits for original margin and the guaranty fund, the ICE Clearing Houses have also received other assets from clearing members, which include government obligations, and may include other non-cash collateral such as certain agency and corporate debt or gold to mitigate credit risk. These assets are not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as the risks and rewards of these assets remain with the clearing members unless the ICE Clearing Houses have sold or re-pledged the assets or in the event of a clearing member default, where the clearing member is no longer entitled to redeem the assets. Any income, gain or loss accrues to the clearing member. For certain non-cash deposits, the ICE Clearing Houses may impose discount or “haircut” rates to ensure adequate collateral levels to account for fluctuations in the market value of these deposits. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the assets pledged by the clearing members as original margin and guaranty fund deposits for each of the ICE Clearing Houses are detailed below (in millions):

10. | Fair Value Measurements |
Our financial instruments consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, short-term and long-term restricted cash and investments, short-term and long-term investments, customer accounts receivable, margin deposits and guaranty funds, cost and equity method investments, short-term and long-term debt and certain other short-term assets and liabilities. The fair value of our financial instruments are measured based on a three-level hierarchy:
| |
• | Level 1 inputs — quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| |
• | Level 2 inputs — observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs other than quoted prices that are directly observable. |
| |
• | Level 3 inputs — unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
We use Level 1 inputs to determine fair value. The Level 1 assets consist of U.S. Treasury securities, equity and other securities listed in active markets, and investments in publicly traded mutual funds held for the purpose of providing future payments of the supplemental executive retirement and the supplemental executive savings plans.
Financial assets and liabilities recorded in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the asset or liability’s fair value measurement. Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are as follows (in millions):

As of March 31, 2017, the fair value of our $1.24 billion 2020 Senior Notes was $1.27 billion, the fair value of our $1.24 billion 2025 Senior Notes was $1.29 billion, the fair value of our $851 million NYSE Notes was $851 million, the fair value of our $791 million 2023 Senior Notes was $832 million, and the fair value of our $598 million 2018 Senior Notes was $607 million. The fair values of these fixed rate notes were estimated using quoted market prices for these instruments. The fair value of our commercial paper approximates the carrying value since the rates of interest on this short-term debt approximate market rates as of March 31, 2017. All other financial instruments are determined to approximate carrying value due to the short period of time to their maturities.
Until March 29, 2017, we held a 12% ownership interest in Cetip, S.A., or Cetip, which we classified as an available-for-sale long-term investment. Cetip was recorded at its fair value using its quoted market price. Changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, and include the effects of both stock price and foreign currency translation fluctuations. The unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and reported in other comprehensive income until realized. Realized gains and losses, and declines in value deemed to be other-than-temporary, are recognized in earnings.
We acquired the common stock of Cetip for an aggregate consideration of $514 million in cash in July 2011. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recognized an impairment loss on our Cetip investment of $190 million, primarily due to unfavorable foreign exchange rate changes, which was equal to the difference between the $324 million fair value as of December 31, 2013 and the original investment cost of $514 million. The $324 million fair value of the Cetip investment as of December 31, 2013 became our new cost basis. The long-term investment in equity securities as of December 31, 2016 represents our investment in Cetip, which was valued at $432 million, including a $108 million accumulated unrealized gain.
On March 29, 2017, Cetip and BM&FBOVESPA S.A. finalized a merger agreement. BM&FBOVESPA S.A., which changed its name to B3 S.A. - Brasil, Bolsa, Balcao, or B3, following the merger with Cetip, is a stock exchange and leading operator of registration, clearing, custodial and settlement services for equities, financial securities, indices, rates, commodities and currencies and is located in São Paulo, Brazil. The merger valued our Cetip investment at $500 million. We received the proceeds in cash and in B3 common stock.
The cash component was valued at $319 million, which was subject to Brazilian capital gains tax of $28 million that was remitted to the Brazilian tax authorities in March 2017. The net amount of $291 million is presented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017 as a receivable in prepaid expenses and other current assets. We ultimately received net cash proceeds in April 2017 of $286 million, which is net of a foreign exchange loss of $5 million that was incurred in April 2017.
We received 29,623,756 B3 common shares valued at their quoted market price of $181 million, which also is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017. A deferred capital gain tax of $26 million related to the B3 shares is presented as a non-current deferred tax liability as of March 31, 2017. In April 2017, we sold the B3 common shares for net proceeds of $152 million, which is net of the amounts remitted for the Brazilian capital gains tax and further transaction expenses of $3 million that were incurred in April 2017.
The $500 million fair value of our investment in Cetip included an accumulated unrealized gain of $176 million, based on the $324 million cost basis. In connection with the sale of our equity investment in Cetip, the $176 million accumulated unrealized gain was reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and was recognized in other income as a realized investment gain in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the three months ended March 31, 2017. We plan to use the $438 million in net cash and stock proceeds received from the merger and sale of B3 shares in April 2017 to pay down amounts outstanding under our Commercial Paper Program and for share repurchases.
As of March 31, 2017, we were holding $532 million in U.S. Treasury securities. Of these securities, $382 million were recorded as short-term restricted cash and investments and $150 million were recorded as long-term restricted cash and investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2017. We account for the U.S. Treasury securities held using the available-for-sale method.
Mutual funds represent equity and fixed income mutual funds held for the purpose of providing future payments for the supplemental executive savings plan and the supplemental executive retirement plan and are classified as available-for-sale securities.
We did not use Level 2 and 3 inputs to determine the fair value of assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2017 or December 31, 2016. We measure certain assets, such as intangible assets and cost and equity method investments, at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets are recognized at fair value if they are deemed to be impaired. As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, none of these assets were required to be recorded at fair value since none of these assets were deemed impaired.
