Note 5—Debt
Our debt balance at June 30, 2026, was $23.3 billion, compared with $23.4 billion at December 31, 2025.

In the first quarter of 2026, the company retired $67 million principal amount of our 6.875% Notes at maturity.
At June 30, 2026, we had $283 million of certain variable rate demand bonds (VRDBs) outstanding, with maturities ranging through 2035. The VRDBs are redeemable at the option of the bondholders on any business day. If they are ever redeemed, we have the ability and intent to refinance them on a long-term basis; therefore, the VRDBs are included in the “Long-term debt” line on our consolidated balance sheet.

Municipal Bonds Remarketing
On July 1, 2026, we completed a $600 million remarketing of sub-series 2017D bonds that are part of the $1 billion St. John the Baptist Parish, State of Louisiana—Revenue Refunding Bonds Series 2017. The bonds are subject to an interest rate of 3.0% and a mandatory tender date of July 2, 2029.
Subsequent to the mandatory tender date, we will also have the right to remarket these bonds at any time up to the 2037 maturity date. At June 30, 2026, these bonds were included in the “Long-term debt” line on our consolidated balance sheet.
