Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS | FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS Debt Offering On June 9, 2025, Whirlpool Corporation (the “Company”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Mizuho Securities USA LLC, BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the offering by the Company of $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2030 and $600 million aggregate principal amount of 6.500% Senior Notes due 2033 (collectively, the “2030 and 2033 Notes”), in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276169), and a preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement related to the offering of the 2030 and 2033 Notes, each as previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). On June 11, 2025, the Company closed its offering of the 2030 and 2033 Notes. The 2030 and 2033 Notes contain covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions. In addition, if we experience a specific kind of change of control, we are required to make an offer to purchase all of the 2030 and 2033 Notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2030 and 2033 Notes to repay a portion of the $1.5 billion outstanding under the term loan agreement with a maturity date of October 31, 2025. On February 22, 2024, the Company entered into an Underwriting Agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement") with SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., ING Financial Markets LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and SG Americas Securities, LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, relating to the offering by the Company of $300 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2034 (the "2034 Notes"), in a public offering pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-276169), and a preliminary prospectus supplement and prospectus supplement related to the offering of the Notes, each as previously filed with the Commission. On February 27, 2024, the Company closed its offering of the 2034 Notes. The 2034 Notes contain covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur certain liens or enter into certain sale and lease-back transactions. In addition, if we experience a specific kind of change of control, we are required to make an offer to purchase all of the 2034 notes at a purchase price of 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the 2034 Notes, together with cash on hand, to repay, at maturity, all $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 4.000% notes due March 1, 2024. Term Loan Agreement On September 23, 2022, the Company entered into a Term Loan Agreement by and among the Company, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”), as Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent and as lender, and certain other financial institutions as lenders. SMBC, BNP Paribas, ING Bank N.V., Dublin Branch, Mizuho Bank, Ltd., and Societe Generale acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Syndication Agents; The Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of China, Chicago Branch acted as Documentation Agents; and SMBC acted as Sole Bookrunner for the Term Loan Agreement. The Term Loan Agreement provides for an aggregate lender commitment of $2.5 billion. The Company utilized proceeds from the term loan facility on a delayed draw basis to fund a majority of the $3.0 billion purchase price consideration for the Company’s acquisition from Emerson Corporation (“Emerson”) of Emerson’s InSinkErator business, as set forth in the Asset and Stock Purchase Agreement between Whirlpool and Emerson dated as of August 7, 2022 (the “Acquisition Agreement”). The outstanding amount for this term loan at June 30, 2025 is $300 million, which is classified in current liabilities on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet. The term loan facility is divided into two tranches: a $1 billion tranche with a maturity date of April 30, 2024, of which $500 million was repaid in December 2023 and the remaining $500 million was repaid in April 2024; and a $1.5 billion tranche with a maturity date of October 31, 2025, of which $1.2 billion was repaid in June 2025. The interest and fee rates payable with respect to the term loan facility based on the Company's current credit rating are as follows: (1) the spread over SOFR for the 3-year tranche is 1.25% (with a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment); and (2) the spread over prime for the 3-year tranche is zero, as the date hereof. The Term Loan Agreement contains customary covenants and warranties including, among other things, a rolling twelve month interest coverage ratio required to be greater than or equal to 3.0 for each fiscal quarter. In addition, the covenants limit the Company's ability to (or to permit any subsidiaries to), subject to various exceptions and limitations: (i) merge with other companies; (ii) create liens on its property; and (iii) incur debt at the subsidiary level. The Company has been in compliance with the interest coverage ratio covenant under the term loan agreement for all fiscal quarters through June 30, 2025. Credit Facilities On May 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Long-Term Credit Agreement (the “Amended Long-Term Facility”) by and among the Company, certain other borrowers, the lenders referred to therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as Administrative Agent, and Citibank, N.A., as Syndication Agent. BNP Paribas, Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association acted as Documentation Agents. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., BNP Paribas Securities Corp., Citibank, N.A., Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners for the Amended Long-Term Facility. Consistent with the Company’s prior credit agreement, the Amended Long-Term Facility provides an aggregate borrowing capacity of $3.5 billion. The facility has a maturity date of May 3, 2027, unless earlier terminated. The interest rate payable with respect to the Amended Long-Term Facility is based on the Company’s current debt rating, Term SOFR (Secured Overnight Financing Rate) +1.25% interest rate margin per annum (with a 0.10% SOFR spread adjustment) or the Alternate Base Rate +0.25% per annum, at the Company’s election. The Amended Long-Term Facility contains customary covenants and warranties, such as, among other things, a rolling four quarter interest coverage ratio required to be greater than or equal to 3.0 for each fiscal quarter. The Amended Long-Term Facility also includes limitations on the Company’s ability to (or to permit any subsidiaries to), subject to various exceptions and limitations: (i) merge with other companies; (ii) create liens on its property; and (iii) incur debt at the subsidiary level. The Company has been in compliance with the interest coverage ratio covenant under the Amended Long-Term Facility for all fiscal quarters through June 30, 2025. At June 30, 2025, we had $950 million outstanding under the Amended Long-Term Facility. We had no borrowings outstanding under the Amended Long-Term Facility at December 31, 2024. In addition to the committed $3.5 billion Amended Long-Term Facility and the committed $1.5 billion term loan (of which $1.2 billion has been repaid as of June 30, 2025), we have committed credit facilities in Brazil and India. These committed credit facilities provide borrowings up to approximately $195 million at June 30, 2025 and $173 million at December 31, 2024, based on exchange rates then in effect, respectively. These committed credit facilities have maturities that run through 2025. There were no amounts outstanding on these credit facilities at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Notes Payable Notes payable, which consist of short-term borrowings payable to banks or commercial paper, are generally used to fund working capital requirements. The fair value of our notes payable approximates the carrying amount due to the short maturity of these obligations. The downgrade of our credit ratings to below investment grade has partially reduced access to and increased costs associated with accessing the commercial paper market. The following table summarizes the carrying value of notes payable at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:
Millions of dollars |  | June 30, 2025 |  | December 31, 2024
Commercial paper |  | $ | 177 |  |  | $ | — |
Short-term borrowings due to banks |  | 981 |  |  | 18 |
Total notes payable |  | $ | 1,158 |  |  | $ | 18 |
Short-term borrowings due to banks include the current portion of the outstanding amount under the Amended Long-Term Facility which is expected to be repaid within the next twelve months. Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets In an effort to manage economic and geographic trade customer risk, from time to time, the Company will transfer, primarily without recourse, accounts receivable balances of certain customers to financial institutions resulting in a nominal impact recorded in interest and sundry (income) expense. These transactions are accounted for as sales of the receivables resulting in the receivables being de-recognized from the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. These transfers do not require continuing involvement from the Company. Certain arrangements include servicing of transferred receivables by Whirlpool. Outstanding accounts receivable transferred under arrangements where the Company continues to service the transferred asset were $136 million as of June 30, 2025 and $183 million as of December 31, 2024. The amount of cash proceeds received under these arrangements was $259 million and $269 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
