Repayments of Debt
Tender Offers
On May 20, 2025, the Company commenced tender offers to purchase for cash certain of its outstanding series of Senior Notes for an aggregate purchase price, excluding accrued and unpaid interest, of $2.0 billion. The carrying value of this series of Senior Notes purchased as a result of these tender offers was $2.5 billion. The Company also incurred approximately $6 million of banking and legal costs. In connection with the completion of these tender offers, the Company recognized a gain on debt extinguishment of $488 million within the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss). The tender offers were primarily funded through the proceeds received from the divestiture of the Pharma Solutions disposal group.
Other
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made debt repayments totaling approximately $413 million on the remaining balance of the 2026 Term Loan Facility. This was done using a portion of the cash proceeds from the divestiture of the Pharma Solutions disposal group in accordance with the terms of the Term Loan Facility agreement.
For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company made a $270 million and €500 million (approximately $547 million) debt repayment at maturity related to the 2024 Term Loan Facility and 2024 Euro Notes, respectively, which were primarily funded from commercial paper issuances, which were subsequently repaid using proceeds received from the divestiture of the Cosmetic Ingredients business. The Company also made quarterly debt repayments totaling approximately $31 million related to the 2026 Term Loan Facility in accordance with the terms of the debt agreement.
Commercial Paper
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had gross issuances of $3.284 billion and repayments of $3.284 billion under the commercial paper program. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had gross issuances of $3.298 billion and repayments of $3.109 billion under the commercial paper program. The commercial paper issued during both the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 had original maturities of less than 90 days.
The commercial paper program is backed by the borrowing capacity available under the Revolving Credit Facility. The effective interest rate of commercial paper issuances does not materially differ from short-term interest rates, which fluctuate due to market conditions and as a result may impact our interest expense.
Revolving Credit Facility
For the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company had no drawdowns or repayments under the Revolving Credit Facility. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company had drawdowns of $250 million and repayments of $250 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.
On June 25, 2025, the Company, with its lenders, entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Revolving Credit Agreement), which amended and restated the most recent Amendment No. 4 to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated September 19, 2023. This amendment and restatement, among other things, extended the termination date to June 25, 2030, as well as removed the financial covenant relief period and associated restrictions. The Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement states that from the effective date through September 30, 2025, our net debt to credit adjusted EBITDA ratio shall not exceed 4.00x, and shall not exceed 3.75x thereafter, with a temporary step-up to 4.25x permitted for three fiscal quarters following an acquisition exceeding $500 million in paid consideration. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants.
Lines of Credit
The Company has various lines of credit which are available to support its ongoing business operations. As of June 30, 2025 the Company has a total capacity of approximately $1.747 billion of lines of credit with various financial institutions.
