The company’s senior credit facilities include long-term multi-currency revolving facilities that mature in June 2027, which provide the company with up to the U.S. dollar equivalent of $1.75 billion. At September 30, 2025, $1.70 billion was available under these revolving credit facilities. Additionally, at September 30, 2025, the company’s short-term uncommitted credit facilities provided the company with up to $1.02 billion.

In August 2025, Ball issued $750 million of 5.50% senior notes due in 2033, and repaid the outstanding U.S. dollar revolving credit facility due in 2027 in the amount of $600 million, as well as the outstanding multi-currency revolving credit facility due in 2027 of $100 million. In October 2025, Ball issued a notice to call the 4.875% senior notes due March 2026 and the 6.875% senior notes due March 2028.

In July 2025, Ball repaid at maturity the outstanding 5.25% senior notes due in the amount of $189 million.

In May 2025, Ball issued €850 million of 4.25% senior notes due in 2032, and repaid a portion of the U.S. dollar revolving credit facility due in 2027 in the amount of $500 million, as well as the outstanding multi-currency revolving credit facility due in 2027 of $200 million.

The fair value of Ball’s long-term debt was estimated to be $6.99 billion and $5.19 billion at September 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value reflects the market rates at each period end for debt with credit ratings similar to the company’s ratings and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Rates currently available to the company for loans with similar terms and maturities are used to estimate the fair value of long-term debt based on discounted cash flows.

The U.S. note agreements and bank credit agreement contain certain restrictions relating to dividend payments, share repurchases, investments, financial ratios, guarantees and the incurrence of additional indebtedness. The company’s most restrictive debt covenant requires it to maintain a leverage ratio (as defined) of no greater than 4.5 times. The company was in compliance with the leverage ratio requirement at September 30, 2025, and for all prior periods presented, and has met all debt payment obligations.
