Short-Term Debt
Note 8: Short-Term Debt
Liquidity needs for capital investment, working capital and other financial commitments are generally funded through cash flows from operations, public and private debt offerings, issuances of commercial paper and equity and, if and to the extent necessary, borrowings under the AWCC revolving credit facility. AWCC maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility which provides $2.75 billion in aggregate total commitments from a diversified group of financial institutions. The termination date of the credit agreement with respect to AWCC’s revolving credit facility is October 26, 2029. The revolving credit facility is used principally to support AWCC’s commercial paper program, to provide additional liquidity support and to provide a sub-limit for the issuance of up to $150 million in letters of credit. Subject to satisfying certain conditions, the credit agreement permits AWCC to increase the maximum commitment under the facility by up to an aggregate of $500 million.
Short-term debt consists of commercial paper borrowings totaling $1.0 billion and $880 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively, or net of discount $999 million and $879 million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate on AWCC’s outstanding short-term borrowings was approximately 4.63% and 4.65% at March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. At March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, AWCC had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and there were no commercial paper borrowings outstanding with maturities greater than three months.
