(1)The weighted average interest rate includes the impact of the fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps and the impact of cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges and excludes the impact of cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as net investment hedges (see Note 10). The impact of the included fair value basis adjustments and cross-currency interest rate swaps in certain cases results in an effective weighted average interest rate being outside the stated interest rate range on the fixed rate notes.
(2)Interest on the Revolving Credit Facility is generally payable at Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin of up to 0.428% dependent on tenor, plus an applicable margin of up to 1.625% and an unused commitment fee of up to 0.225%, each based upon the Company's corporate credit ratings. The weighted average interest rate on the Revolving Credit Facility excludes fees.
(3)Other includes the amount of fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps (see further discussion below in Note 10), unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized non-cash bond discounts.

The Company is a party to interest rate swaps that, prior to de-designation as fair value hedges during the quarter ended September 30, 2023, converted a portion of its fixed-rate debt to variable-rate debt. As a result of the de-designations, the final fair value basis adjustments recorded through the dates of de-designation as a decrease of the long-term debt are subsequently amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining periods to maturity of the respective long-term debt. The fair value basis adjustments reflected in Other in the long-term debt table above totaled $(245) million and $(594) million as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively.

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 (loss). As of June 30, 2024, the weighted average interest rate of the Company's outstanding debt was 3.6%, 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 2.8%.

See Note 10 for further discussion of the Company's interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps and related hedge designations.
