Commercial Paper Programs
We generally satisfy any short-term liquidity needs that are not met through operating cash flows and available cash primarily through issuances of commercial paper under our U.S. dollar and Euro-denominated commercial paper programs (“Commercial Paper Programs”). Under these programs, we may issue unsecured promissory notes with maturities not exceeding 397 days and 183 days, respectively. Proceeds from borrowings under the Commercial Paper Programs are typically available for general corporate purposes, including acquisitions.
Interest expense on commercial paper is paid at maturity and is generally based on our credit ratings at the time of issuance and prevailing short-term interest rates.
Credit support for the Commercial Paper Programs is provided by a five-year $2.0 billion senior unsecured revolving credit facility that expires on March 17, 2031 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) which, to the extent not otherwise providing credit support for our Commercial Paper Programs, can also be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes. As of April 3, 2026, no borrowings were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to the section below for further discussion on the Revolving Credit Facility.
The details of our outstanding Commercial Paper Programs as of April 3, 2026 were as follows ($ in millions):

(a) Net of unamortized debt discount.
We classified our borrowings outstanding under the Commercial Paper Programs as of April 3, 2026 as Long-term debt in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets as we had the intent and ability, as supported by availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, to refinance these borrowings for at least one year from the balance sheet date.
During the first quarter, Fortive repaid the $292.9 million of outstanding principal of the 3.7% Euro-denominated senior unsecured notes due 2026, and the accrued interest thereon, primarily using proceeds from the Commercial Paper Programs.
Revolving Credit Facility
On March 17, 2026, we entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) which extended the availability period of the Revolving Credit Facility to March 17, 2031, with two one-year extension options at our request and with the consent of the lenders. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also contains an option permitting us to request an aggregate additional $1.0 billion as a revolving credit facility (or increase thereof), term loan facility, or combination thereof.

We are obligated to pay an annual facility fee for the Revolving Credit Facility of between 6 and 15 basis points varying according to our long-term debt credit rating. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility in U.S. Dollars bear interest at a rate equal, at our option, to either (1) Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”), plus a margin of between 69 and 110 basis points, depending on our long-term debt credit rating or (2) Base Rate (which is the highest of (a) the Federal funds rate plus 50 basis points, (b) the prime rate, (c) Term SOFR plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.0%), plus a margin between zero and 10 basis points depending on our long-term debt credit rating.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement requires us to maintain a defined consolidated net leverage ratio of no greater than 3.75 to 1.00. The maximum consolidated net leverage ratio will be increased to 4.25 to 1.00 for the four consecutive full fiscal quarters immediately following the consummation of any acquisition by us in which the purchase price exceeds $250 million.

As of April 3, 2026, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
