| LONG-TERM DEBT, LINE OF CREDIT AND COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM | NOTE 8: LONG-TERM DEBT, LINE OF CREDIT AND COMMERCIAL PAPER PROGRAM Long-term Debt In July 2026, we repaid the remaining $62 million and $60 million in principal outstanding on our 7.35 percent and 7.85 percent debentures, respectively, at maturity. During second quarter 2026, we repaid the remaining $250 million in principal outstanding on our 4.75 percent notes at maturity. We also amended our $300 million senior unsecured term loan to extend the maturity date from April 2030 to April 2031 and amended our $250 million senior unsecured term loan to extend the maturity date from December 2028 to April 2031. Refinancing costs associated with each of these extensions were immaterial. During first quarter 2026, we repaid our $150 million 7.70 percent debentures at maturity. During first quarter 2025, we repaid our $139 million 8.50 percent debentures and our $71 million 7.95 percent debentures at maturity. We also entered into a $300 million senior unsecured term loan that will mature in April 2031 as a result of the aforementioned amendment. Net proceeds after fees were $299 million. Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on either the adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread or a mutually agreed-upon base rate plus a spread. Commercial Paper Program During fourth quarter 2025, we established a commercial paper program under which we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under this program, we may issue notes from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.75 billion outstanding at any time. The notes will have maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issue and will not be subject to voluntary prepayment or redemption prior to maturity. We use our revolving credit facility as a liquidity backstop for the repayment of short-term unsecured notes issued under the commercial paper program. As of June 30, 2026, we had $250 million of commercial paper issued and outstanding under this program, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.10 percent. There was no commercial paper issued and outstanding under this program as of December 31, 2025. As of June 30, 2026, we have classified all issued and outstanding commercial paper maturing in the next 12 months as long-term because we have the intent and ability to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis, as supported by the available capacity under our $1.75 billion revolving credit facility. The amount outstanding is recorded in "Long-term debt, net" on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Line of Credit During second quarter 2025, we amended and restated our senior unsecured revolving credit facility to extend the expiration date to June 2030, while increasing borrowing capacity from $1.5 billion to $1.75 billion. Borrowings will bear interest at a floating rate based on either the adjusted term SOFR plus a spread or a mutually agreed-upon base rate plus a spread. We had no outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025. |
