Under a supply chain finance program, the Company has agreements with third parties that allow its participating vendors to finance payment obligations from the Company with designated third-party financial institutions who act as its paying agent. The Company has generally extended its payment terms with vendors. A participating vendor may request a participating financial institution to finance one or more of the Company's payment obligations to such vendor prior to the scheduled due date thereof at a discounted price. The Company is not required to provide collateral to the financial institutions. The Company's obligations to participating vendors, including amounts due and scheduled payment dates, are not impacted by the vendors’ decisions to finance amounts due under these financing arrangements. The Company's outstanding payment obligations to participating vendors were $692 million and $576 million as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, and are included in accounts payable - trade and accrued capital expenditures above. Cash outflows to the financial institutions are classified as cash flows from operating and investing activities.

Under a deferred payment program, the Company has agreements with third parties specifically for its mobile handset purchases.
