1. See Note 17 for information on the fair value measurement of the Company's long-term debt. 2. During the second quarter of 2021, the Company repaid all outstanding term loan borrowings and related interest under the Senior Credit Facility and the 364 Day Facility. 3. U.S. dollar-denominated Term Loans includes the total outstanding balance of term loans denominated in U.S. dollars from the Senior Credit Facility and the 364 Day Facility. Variances between Face Value and Book Value are the result of unamortized discounts and debt issuance fees. The Company borrows and repays against the Multi-Currency Revolving loan facility for added flexibility in liquidity to manage cash during the operating cycle. The proceeds from borrowing and the repayments are included within the Financing Activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. As of December 31, 2021, the annual repayment requirements for debt obligations are as follows:
In millions |
2022 | $ | 2 |
2023 | 250 |
2024 | 762 |
2025 | 500 |
2026 | 750 |
Thereafter | 1,817 |
Total | $ | 4,081 |
For those debt securities that have a premium or discount at the time of issuance, the Company amortizes the amount through interest expense based on the maturity date or the first date the holders may require the Company to repurchase the debt securities, if applicable. A premium would result in a decrease in interest expense, and a discount would result in an increase in interest expense in future periods. Additionally, the Company has debt issuance costs related to certain financing transactions which are also amortized through interest expense. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had total unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts of $23 million and $21 million, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the weighted average interest rate on the Company's available variable debt facilities was 1.5%. Credit Facilities Senior Credit Facility On June 8, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement ("Senior Credit Facility"), which replaced the Company's then-existing credit agreement. The Senior Credit Facility is with a syndicate of lenders and provides for borrowings consisting of (i) term loans denominated in euros and U.S. dollars ("Term Loans"); and (ii) a multi-currency revolving loan facility, providing for an equivalent in U.S. dollars of up to $1,200 million in multi-currency revolving loans (inclusive of swingline loans of up to $75 million and letters of credit of up to $450 million (the "Revolving Credit Facility")). The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on June 8, 2023. Under the Senior Credit Facility, we can elect to receive advances bearing interest based on either the ABR rate, the LIBOR rate or the adjusted risk free rate (each as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) plus applicable margin that is determined based on our credit ratings or the Company's Leverage. The agreement contains affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for facilities of this type. The obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are guaranteed by Wabtec and certain of Wabtec's U.S. subsidiaries, as guarantors. The Company has agreed that, so long as any lender has any commitment under the Senior Credit Facility, any letter of credit is outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, or any loan or other obligation is outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility, it will maintain the following as of the end of each fiscal quarter or the period of four quarters the ended:
Interest Coverage Ratio 1 |  | 3.0x
Leverage Ratio 2 |  | 3.25x
1. The interest coverage ratio is defined as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization), as defined in the Senior Credit Facility, to net interest expense for the four quarters then ended. 2. The leverage ratio is defined as net debt as of the last day of such fiscal quarter to EBITDA, as defined in the Senior Credit Facility for the four quarters then ended. The Senior Credit Facility was amended in the second quarter of 2021 so the Company may increase the maximum leverage ratio to (x) 3.75 to 1.00 at the end of the fiscal quarter in which the Nordco acquisition was consummated and each of the three fiscal quarters immediately following such fiscal quarter and (y) 3.50 to 1.00 at the end of each of the fourth and fifth full fiscal quarters after the consummation of the Nordco acquisition upon the Company's request. The Company has not requested any increase in the leverage ratio at this time. The Company was in compliance with all covenants in the Senior Credit Facility as of December 31, 2021. The following table presents availability under the Revolving Facilities:

364-Day Facility On April 10, 2020 the Company entered into a new $600 million 364 day credit facility ("364 Day Facility") maturing April 2021 with a group of banks which included a $144 million revolving credit facility ("364 Day Revolver") and a $456 million term loan ("364 Term Loan"). The agreement called for interest at either a LIBOR-based rate, or a rate based on the prime lending rate of the agent bank, at the Company's option. The agreement contained affirmative, negative and financial covenants, and events of default customary for facilities of this type and substantially similar to our existing Senior Credit Facility. The obligations under the 364 Day Facility were guaranteed by certain of the Company's U.S. subsidiaries, as guarantors. On June 12, 2020, the Company amended the 364 Day Facility maturity to July 9, 2021. On June 3, 2021, the Company repaid all outstanding borrowings and related interest, effectively retiring the facility. Senior Notes The Company or its subsidiaries may issue senior notes from time to time. These notes are comprised of our 4.375% Senior Notes due 2023 (the "2023 Notes"), 4.15% Senior Notes due 2024 (the "2024 Notes"), 3.20% Senior Notes due 2025 (the "2025 Notes"), 3.45% Senior Notes due 2026 (the "2026 Notes"), 1.25% Senior Notes (EUR) due 2027 (the "Euro Notes" discussed below), and 4.70% Senior Notes due 2028 (the "2028 Notes"). The 2023 Notes, 2024 Notes, 2025 Notes, 2026 Notes and 2028 Notes are the “US Notes”, and collectively with the Euro Notes, the “Senior Notes.” Interest on the US Notes is payable semi-annually and interest on the Euro Notes is paid annually. Each series of the Senior Notes may be redeemed any time in whole or from time to time in part in accordance with the provisions of the indenture, under which such series of notes was issued. Each of the Senior Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount plus a specified make-whole premium and accrued interest. The US Notes and the Company's guarantee of the Euro Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank pari passu with all existing and future senior debt and senior to all existing and future subordinated indebtedness of the Company. On June 3, 2021, Wabtec Transportation Netherlands B.V. ("Wabtec Netherlands") issued €500 million of 1.25% Senior Notes due in 2027, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Euro Notes were issued at 99.267% of face value. Interest on the Euro Notes accrues at a rate of 1.25% per annum and is payable annually beginning December 3, 2021. The Company incurred approximately $4 million of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the Euro Notes for total net proceeds of approximately $599 million after consideration of the discount. On June 29, 2020, the Company issued $500 million of 3.20% Senior Notes due in 2025 (the "2025 Notes"). The 2025 Notes were issued at 99.892% of face value. Interest on the 2025 Notes accrues at a rate of 3.20% per annum and is payable semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning December 15, 2020. The proceeds were used to redeem outstanding variable rate debt. The Company incurred $2 million of deferred financing costs related to the issuance of the 2025 Notes. The indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued contain covenants and restrictions which limit, subject to certain exceptions, certain sale and leaseback transactions with respect to principal properties, the incurrence of secured debt without equally and ratably securing the Senior Notes, and certain merger and consolidation transactions. The covenants do not require the Company to maintain any financial ratios or specified levels of net worth or liquidity. The US Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured basis by each of the Company's subsidiaries that is a guarantor under the Senior Credit Facility. The Company is in compliance with the restrictions and covenants in the indentures under which the Senior Notes were issued and expects that these restrictions and covenants will not be any type of limiting factor in executing our operating activities. Cash Pooling Wabtec aggregates the Company's domestic cash position on a daily basis. Outside the United States, the Company uses cash pooling arrangements with banks to help manage our liquidity requirements. In these pooling arrangements, Wabtec subsidiary “Participants” agree with a single bank that the cash balances of any of the pool Participants with the bank will be subject to a full right of set-off against amounts other Participants owe the bank, and the bank provides for overdrafts as long as the net balance for all Participants does not exceed an agreed-upon level. Typically, each Participant pays interest on outstanding overdrafts and receives interest on cash balances. The Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets reflect cash, net of bank overdrafts, under all pooling arrangements. Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees In the ordinary course of its business, the Company arranges for certain types of bank guarantees and letters of credit, such as performance bonds, bid bonds and financial guarantees, that are issued by certain banks and insurance companies to support customer contracts. The outstanding amount, including the letters of credit issued under the credit facility, were $791 million and $737 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
