(a)The debt amounts above do not include the impact of interest rate swaps or debt issuance costs and discounts. The fair values of our publicly-traded notes were based on their unadjusted quoted market prices in markets that are not sufficiently active to be Level 1 and, accordingly, are considered Level 2. The fair values of our other debt were estimated based on current market interest rates being applied to this debt.

(a)We have interest rate swaps whereby we receive floating interest rate payments in exchange for making fixed interest rate payments. These interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $22 million at August 31, 2024 and $46 million at November 30, 2023 of EURIBOR-based floating rate euro debt to fixed rate euro debt, and $2.0 billion at August 31, 2024 of SOFR-based variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. As of August 31, 2024 and November 30, 2023, the EURIBOR-based interest rate swaps settle through 2025 and were not designated as cash flow hedges; the SOFR-based interest rate swaps settle through 2027 and were designated as cash flow hedges. Subsequent to August 31, 2024, we terminated a portion of our SOFR-based interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $1.0 billion. (b)At November 30, 2023, we had a cross currency swap with a notional amount of $670 million that was designated as a hedge of our net investment in foreign operations with euro-denominated functional currencies. This cross currency swap was terminated in January 2024.
