(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 9). 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 spread of 0.100% plus an applicable margin of up to 1.625% and an unused commitment fee of up to 0.200%, 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 9), unamortized debt issuance costs and unamortized non-cash bond discounts.

The Company is a party to interest rate swaps that were previously de-designated as fair value hedges resulting in fair value basis adjustments that are recorded as a decrease of long-term debt. The basis adjustments are amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method over the remaining periods to maturity of the respective long-term debt previously hedged. The fair value basis adjustments reflected in Other in the long-term debt table above totaled $(219) million and $(228) million as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, 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 March 31, 2025, 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 2.9%.

See Note 9 for further discussion of the Company's interest rate swaps and cross-currency interest rate swaps and related hedge designations.

The following table summarizes the amount of our long-term debt, including financing arrangements for certain hardware and software, as of March 31, 2025, based on maturity date.

Senior Notes

On March 7 and 8, 2024, pursuant to cash tender offers, FIS purchased and redeemed an aggregate principal amount of $1.5 billion in Senior USD Notes and an aggregate principal amount of £1.0 billion in Senior GBP Notes, with interest rates ranging from 2.25% to 5.625% and maturities ranging from 2025 to 2052, resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $174 million, recorded in Other income (expense), net on the consolidated statement of earnings (loss), relating to tender discounts and fees; the write-off of unamortized bond discounts, debt issuance costs and fair value basis adjustments; and gains on related derivative instruments. The Company funded the purchase and redemption of the Senior Notes using a portion of the net proceeds from the 2024 Worldpay Sale.

Commercial Paper

The Company has a Euro commercial paper ("ECP") and a U.S. commercial paper ("USCP") program for the issuance and sale of senior, unsecured commercial paper notes, up to a combined maximum aggregate amount outstanding at any time of $4.5 billion. Borrowings are limited to the availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility, which backstops the commercial paper programs. The ECP and USCP programs are generally used for general corporate purposes. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company repaid its ECP Notes and USCP Notes using a portion of the net proceeds from the 2024 Worldpay Sale before resuming borrowings during the third quarter of 2024.

Revolving Credit Facility

On September 27, 2024, FIS entered into an amendment and restatement agreement to the Revolving Credit Facility to amend certain covenant provisions, revise lender commitments for certain counterparties, and extend the scheduled maturity date to September 27, 2029. As of March 31, 2025, the borrowing capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was approximately $3.2 billion (net of $1,108 million of capacity backstopping our commercial paper notes and $152 million of Revolving Credit Facility outstanding balance).
Fair Value of Debt

The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is estimated to be approximately $777 million and $806 million lower than the carrying value, excluding the fair value basis adjustments due to interest rate swaps and unamortized discounts, as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively.
