Long-Term Debt | Long-Term Debt As of June 30, 2018, our debt, excluding the note payable to Comcast, had a carrying value of $12.5 billion and an estimated fair value of $12.7 billion. The estimated fair value of our publicly traded debt was primarily based on Level 1 inputs that use quoted market values for the debt. The estimated fair value of debt for which there are no quoted market prices was based on Level 2 inputs that use interest rates available to us for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. In June 2018, Universal Beijing Resort borrowed $235 million under its debt financing agreement to fund the construction of a Universal theme park and resort in Beijing, China (see Note 5). For the six months ended June 2018, we repaid $318 million of Universal Studios Japan term loans maturing 2022. Cross-Guarantee Structure We, Comcast and a 100% owned cable holding company subsidiary of Comcast (“CCCL Parent”) have fully and unconditionally guaranteed each other’s debt securities, including the $7 billion Comcast revolving credit facility due 2021. As of June 30, 2018, outstanding debt securities of $50.3 billion of Comcast and CCCL Parent were subject to the cross-guarantee structure. We do not, however, guarantee the obligations of NBCUniversal Enterprise with respect to its $3 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, $1.5 billion revolving credit facility, commercial paper program, or $725 million liquidation preference of Series A cumulative preferred stock. Additionally, the Universal Studios Japan and Universal Beijing Resort term loans are not subject to the cross-guarantee structure and are not guaranteed by us; however, the Universal Studios Japan term loans have a separate guarantee from Comcast.
