The Company is a party to interest rate swaps that, prior to de-designation as fair value hedges, converted a portion of its fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. These interest rate swaps were de-designated as fair value hedges of its fixed-rate debt during the quarter ended September 30, 2023.

The Company is also party to fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swaps under which it agrees to receive interest in foreign currency in exchange for paying interest in U.S. dollars. These are designated as fair value hedges.

The Company has also entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps under which it agrees to receive interest in U.S. dollars in exchange for paying interest in a foreign currency. These are designated as net investment hedges. Although these cross-currency interest rate swaps are entered into as net investment hedges of its investments in certain of its non-U.S. subsidiaries, and not for the purpose of hedging interest rates, the benefit or cost of such hedges is reflected in interest expense in the consolidated statement of earnings. As of September 30, 2023, the weighted average interest rate of the Company's outstanding debt was 4.3%, including the impact of fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges but excluding the impact of cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as
net investment hedges. Including the impact of the net investment hedge cross-currency interest rate swaps on interest expense, the weighted average interest rate of the Company's outstanding debt was 3.5%.

See Note 8 for further discussion of the Company's interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps and related hedge designations.

The following summarizes the aggregate maturities of our long-term debt, including other financing obligations for certain hardware and software, based on stated contractual maturities, excluding the fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps (see Note 8) and net unamortized non-cash bond discounts of $(650) million as of September 30, 2023 (in millions):

There are no mandatory principal payments on the Revolving Credit Facility or the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility, and any balance outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility or the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility will be due and payable at each such facility's scheduled maturity date, which occur on March 2, 2026, and December 15, 2023, respectively.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On February 28, 2023, FIS entered into an Incremental Revolving Credit Facility which provides credit commitments outstanding of $2.0 billion, with a scheduled maturity date of December 15, 2023. The proceeds of any borrowings under the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility will be used to provide ongoing working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the repayment of certain existing debt of the Company and its subsidiaries and to backstop the Company's commercial paper program. The Incremental Revolving Credit Facility contains customary covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness, certain restricted payments and use of proceeds as well as to maintain certain financial ratios. FIS intends to amend the Incremental Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date until the earlier of (i) June 15, 2024, and (ii) ten business days after the consummation of the pending Worldpay transaction.

As of September 30, 2023, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility and Incremental Revolving Credit Facility was $2,750 million (net of $4,595 million of capacity backstopping our commercial paper notes).
Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $1,845 million and $1,873 million lower than the carrying value, excluding the fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps and unamortized discounts, as of September 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, respectively.
