Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
DEBT | DEBTOn March 4, 2021, we issued $600 million of 1.500% Notes due February 15, 2028, $600 million of 2.000% Notes due February 15, 2031 and $300 million of 3.125% Notes due February 15, 2051. We received proceeds of $1,495 million, net of discount, for the issuance of these Notes. The Notes are senior indebtedness and are redeemable at our option at the applicable redemption price. On March 22, 2021, proceeds from the debt issuances, together with cash on hand, were used to repay and early retire our $326 million 5.950% Notes due March 15, 2022, $500 million 4.450% Notes due April 1, 2025, and $500 million 4.375% Notes due April 1, 2026. In connection with these early retirements, we incurred a loss on debt extinguishment of $168 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, which was recorded as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. I. DEBT (Continued) On March 13, 2019, we entered into a credit agreement (the “2019 Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of March 13, 2024. On December 22, 2021, we amended the 2019 Credit Agreement with the bank group (the "Amended Credit Agreement"). The 2019 Credit Agreement was amended to (i) expand the “Agreed Currencies” for which loans thereunder may be denominated outside of the swingline facility to include British Pounds Sterling and Canadian Dollars, together with their applicable interest rate benchmark, (ii) replace the London Interbank Offering Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) as the interest rate benchmark for purposes of loans denominated in Euros and (iii) provide mechanics for the replacement of a benchmark for an applicable Agreed Currency upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, the replacement reference interest rate benchmark for loans denominated in U.S. dollars upon the eventual discontinuation of LIBOR will have a benchmark adjustment applied based on its historical relationship to LIBOR, which can be either the term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread, daily simple SOFR plus a spread, or another alternative interest rate index selected by the Administrative Agent and us. Under the Amended Credit Agreement, at our request and subject to certain conditions, we can increase the aggregate commitment up to an additional $500 million with the current lenders or new lenders. The Amended Credit Agreement provides for an unsecured revolving credit facility available to us and one of our foreign subsidiaries, in U.S. dollars, European euros, British Pounds Sterling, Canadian dollars and certain other currencies for revolving credit loans, swingline loans and letters of credit. Borrowings under the revolving credit loans denominated in any agreed upon currency other than U.S. dollars are limited to $500 million, equivalent. We can also borrow swingline loans up to $100 million and obtain letters of credit of up to $25 million; outstanding letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement reduce our borrowing capacity. At March 31, 2022, we had no outstanding standby letters of credit under the Amended Credit Agreement. Revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. Dollars bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. prime rate, (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York effective rate plus 0.50% and (iii) adjusted LIBO Rate plus 1.0%; plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in Canadian Dollars bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the rate equal to the PRIMCAN Index rate and (ii) the CDOR Rate for a one month interest period, plus 1.0%; plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in Pounds Sterling bear interest under the Amended Credit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to the Daily Simple SONIA plus 0.0326%. Foreign currency revolving credit loans denominated in Euros bear interest at the adjusted EURIBOR Rate, plus an applicable margin based upon our then-applicable corporate credit ratings. The various benchmarks are subject to applicable floors as specified in the Amended Credit Agreement. The Amended Credit Agreement also provides mechanics for the replacement of a benchmark upon the occurrence of certain specified events. The Amended Credit Agreement contains financial covenants requiring us to maintain (A) a net leverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not exceeding 4.0 to 1.0, and (B) a minimum interest coverage ratio, as adjusted for certain items, not less than 2.5 to 1.0. In order for us to borrow under the Amended Credit Agreement, there must not be any default in our covenants in the Amended Credit Agreement (i.e., in addition to the two financial covenants, principally limitations on subsidiary debt, negative pledge restrictions, legal compliance requirements and maintenance of properties and insurance) and our representations and warranties in the Amended Credit Agreement must be true in all material respects on the date of borrowing (i.e., principally no material adverse change or litigation likely to result in a material adverse change, since December 31, 2018, no material ERISA or environmental non-compliance, and no material tax deficiency). We were in compliance with all covenants and $263 million was borrowed and outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 1.5798% at March 31, 2022. I. DEBT (Concluded) Subsequent Events On April 26, 2022, we entered into a revolving credit agreement (the “2022 Credit Agreement”) with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion and a maturity date of April 26, 2027. Under the 2022 Credit Agreement, the swingline loans borrowing capacity increased to $125 million. All other material terms are substantially the same as the Amended Credit Agreement as described above, including the two financial covenants. Upon entry into the 2022 Credit Agreement, our 2019 Credit Agreement dated March 13, 2019, as amended, with an aggregate commitment of $1.0 billion, was terminated. On April 26, 2022, we entered into a 364-day $500 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan due April 26, 2023 with a syndicate of lenders. The senior unsecured term loan and commitments thereunder are subject to prepayment or termination at our option and the loans will bear interest at SOFR plus a spread adjustment and 0.70%. The covenants are substantially the same as those in the 2022 Credit Agreement.
