At June 30, 20222023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the fair value of long-term debt ($4,4473,447 million, excluding finance lease obligations) was primarily a level 2 measurement.
Derivative instruments
The company’s size, strong capital structure and the complementary nature of the Upstream, Downstream and Chemical businessesits business segments reduce the company’s enterprise-wide risk from changes in commodity prices and currency exchange rates. In addition, the company uses commodity-based contracts, including derivative instrumentsderivatives, to manage commodity price risk and to generate returns from trading. Commodity contracts held for trading purposes are presented in the Consolidated statement of income on a net basis in the line “Revenues”. The company does not designate derivative instruments as a hedge for hedge accounting purposes.
Credit risk associated with the company’s derivative position is mitigated by several factors, including the use of derivative clearing exchanges and the quality of and financial limits placed on derivative counterparties.

11. Divestment activities
Jointly with ExxonMobil Canada, Imperial signed an agreement in the second quarter with Whitecap Resources Inc. for the sale of its interests in XTO Energy Canada which include assets in the Montney and Duvernay areas of central Alberta, for approximately $1.9 billion ($0.9 billion Imperial’s share), subject to working capital and other adjustments. The transaction is expected to close prior to the end of the third quarter of 2022, subject to regulatory approvals. Imperial’s net assets held for sale associated with this transaction include about $0.9 billion of total assets (about $0.8 billion of property, plant and equipment) and about $0.1 billion total liabilities in the Upstream segment. The company estimates that total cash flow from the divestment will be approximately $0.9 billion, and expects to recognize a gain at closing of approximately $0.2 billion. Estimated gain and net cash flow could change due to market factors, working capital adjustments, tax impacts and closing dates.

As such, these measures may not be directly comparable to measures presented by other companies, and should not be considered a substitute for GAAP financial measures.
Net income (loss) excluding identified items
Net income (loss) excluding identified items is a
non-GAAP
financial measure that is total net income (loss) excluding individually significant
non-operational
events with an absolute corporate total earnings impact of at least $100 million in a given quarter. The net income (loss) impact of an identified item for an individual segment in a given quarter may be less than $100 million when the item impacts several segments or several periods. The most directly comparable financial measure that is disclosed in the financial statements is net"Net income (loss)" within the company’s Consolidated statement of income. Management uses these figures to improve comparability of the underlying business across multiple periods by isolating and removing significant
non-operational
events from business results. The company believes this view provides investors increased transparency into business results and trends, and provides investors with a view of the business as seen through the eyes of management. Net income (loss) excluding identified items is not meant to be viewed in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss) as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

During the

In addition, the Canadian WTI/WCS spread continued to a steady increaserecover in oil and natural gas prices and refining margins. Inthe second quarter, but remains weaker than the first half of 2022, tightness in the oil and natural gas markets was further exacerbated by Russia’s invasion2022. Refining margins declined on steady supply of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions imposed upon business and other activities in Russia. The price of crude oil and certain regional natural gas indicators increased to levels not seen for several years. By the end of the second quarter, high prices had led to a tempering of demand for some products. Commodity and product prices are expected to remain volatile given the current global economic and geopolitical uncertainty affecting supply and demand.diesel.
