Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
LONG-TERM DEBT | LONG-TERM DEBT Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs and discounts are presented as a reduction of "Long-term debt" and are amortized and included in "Interest expense" on the Company's unaudited interim Combined Statements of Operations over the term on the related debt using the effective interest method. Long-Term Debt Long-term debt at September 30, 2025 was $1,722 million, comprised of the Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes, as more fully described below. There was no long-term debt due within one year at September 30, 2025. Long-term debt is presented net of unamortized debt issuance costs of $28 million and is recorded in "Long-Term Debt" in the interim Condensed Combined Balance Sheets. There is $6 million recorded in "Deferred charges and other assets" in the interim Condensed Combined Balance Sheet related to the Senior Secured Credit Facilities (as defined below), of which the debt was not issued prior to September 30, 2025. There was no long-term debt outstanding at December 31, 2024. The gross proceeds of the Notes and the pre-funded interest deposit were held in escrow and subsequently released through the cash distribution to DuPont on October 31, 2025 in connection with the completion of the Separation on November 1, 2025. The below described financing is considered to be part of DuPont’s centralized approach to cash management in connection with DuPont’s plan to separate its electronics business. Therefore, the proceeds from the Notes are not reflected as an asset of the Company at September 30, 2025 as they were considered immediately transferred to DuPont. Therefore the debt issuance was reflected in the unaudited interim Combined Statement of Cash Flows as Proceeds from Issuance of Long-Term Debt with a corresponding immediate cash outflow within “Net transfers (to) from Parent”. See Note 17 for more information. The Secured Notes On August 15, 2025, Qnity issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.750% senior secured notes due 2032 (the "Secured Notes"), pursuant to an indenture dated as of August 15, 2025 (the “Secured Notes Indenture”), by and between Qnity and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "Secured Notes Trustee"), collateral agent and paying agent. The Secured Notes mature on August 15, 2032 and bear interest at a rate of 5.750% per year. Interest on the Secured Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2026. The Secured Notes are jointly and severally and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured basis by each Qnity subsidiary that is a borrower, or guarantees indebtedness, under Qnity’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities. Upon the consummation of the Separation (or, with respect to the foreign collateral, the day after the consummation of the Separation), the Secured Notes and related guarantees were secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions, by first priority liens on substantially the same collateral that secure Qnity’s obligations under its Senior Secured Credit Facilities. The Secured Notes and related guarantees are secured on a pari passu basis with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities. At any time prior to August 15, 2028, Qnity may redeem some or all of the Secured Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, Qnity may redeem some or all of the Secured Notes at any time on or after August 15, 2028 at specified prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Qnity may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Notes at any time on or prior to August 15, 2028 using the net proceeds from certain equity offerings at 105.750%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. If Qnity experiences certain kinds of changes in control, Qnity must offer to repurchase the Secured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date. The Secured Notes Indenture includes certain covenants on the actions of Qnity and its restricted subsidiaries relating to debt incurrence, liens, restricted payments, assets sales and transactions with affiliates, changes in control, and mergers or sales of all or substantially all of Qnity’s assets. The Secured Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject, in certain cases, to customary grace periods), which include nonpayment on the Secured Notes, breach of covenants in the Secured Notes Indenture, payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness over a specified threshold, failure to pay certain judgments over a specified threshold and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Secured Notes Trustee or holders of at least 30% of the aggregate principal amount of all then outstanding Secured Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all of the then outstanding Secured Notes to be due and payable immediately. The Unsecured Notes On August 15, 2025, Qnity issued $750 million aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2033 (the “Unsecured Notes” and, together with the Secured Notes, the “Notes”) pursuant to an indenture dated as of August 15, 2025 (the “Unsecured Notes Indenture”), by and between Qnity and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the “Unsecured Notes Trustee”) and paying agent, dated as of August 15, 2025. The Unsecured Notes mature on August 15, 2033 and bear interest at a rate of 6.250% per year. Interest on the Unsecured Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2026. The Unsecured Notes are jointly and severally and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by each Qnity subsidiary that is a borrower, or guarantees indebtedness, under Qnity’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities. At any time prior to August 15, 2028, Qnity may redeem some or all of the Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, plus a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. In addition, Qnity may redeem some or all of the Unsecured Notes at any time on or after August 15, 2028 at specified prices, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. Qnity may also redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the Unsecured Notes at any time on or prior to August 15, 2028 using the net proceeds from certain equity offerings at 106.250%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. If Qnity experiences certain kinds of changes in control, Qnity must offer to repurchase the Unsecured Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Unsecured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the repurchase date. The Unsecured Notes Indenture includes certain covenants on the actions of Qnity and its restricted subsidiaries relating to debt incurrence, liens, restricted payments, assets sales, and transactions with affiliates, changes in control, and mergers or sales of all or substantially all of Qnity’s assets. The Unsecured Notes Indenture provides for customary events of default (subject, in certain cases, to customary grace periods), which include nonpayment on the Unsecured Notes, breach of covenants in the Unsecured Notes Indenture, payment defaults or acceleration of other indebtedness over a specified threshold, failure to pay certain judgments over a specified threshold and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. Generally, if an event of default occurs, the Unsecured Notes Trustee or holders of at least 30% of the aggregate principal amount of all then outstanding Unsecured Notes may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all of the then outstanding Unsecured Notes to be due and payable immediately. Senior Secured Credit Facilities Subsequent to the quarter ended September 30, 2025, on October 31, 2025 in connection with the Separation, the Company entered into a credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") providing for (a) a five-year revolving credit facility in the aggregate committed amount of $1.25 billion (up to $100 million of such revolving facility is available for the issuance of letters of credit) (the "Senior Secured Revolving Facility"), and (b) a seven-year term loan facility in the aggregate principal amount of $2.35 billion (the "Senior Secured Term Loan Facility" and, together with the Senior Secured Revolving Facility, the "Senior Secured Credit Facilities"). The full amount of the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, $2.35 billion, was funded on October 31, 2025, and paid directly to DuPont in the form of a cash dividend in connection with the Separation. The borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities bear interest at a rate per annum equal to either of the following, plus, in each case, an applicable margin: (a) the base rate or (b) term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Secured Revolving Facility ranges from 0.25% to 1.25% with respect to base rate borrowings and 1.25% to 2.25% with respect to term SOFR borrowings, in each case, based on the Company's consolidated first lien net leverage ratio. The applicable margin for borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility is 1.00% with respect to base rate borrowings and 2.00% with respect to term SOFR borrowings. The Company has scheduled amortization payments under the Senior Secured Term Loan Facility in equal quarterly installments in an annual amount equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount of the term loans payable on the last day of each calendar quarter, with the unpaid balance being due and payable at maturity. The Credit Agreement contains a number of negative covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, may restrict Qnity’s ability and the ability of each of our restricted subsidiaries to: incur additional indebtedness (including guarantees thereof); create liens on, sell or otherwise dispose of Qnity assets; enter into mergers, consolidations and other fundamental changes; make certain investments or acquisitions; engage in sale-leaseback transactions; repurchase Qnity common stock, pay dividends or make similar distributions or other restricted payments on Qnity capital stock; repay certain indebtedness; engage in certain affiliate transactions; and enter into agreements that restrict Qnity’s ability to create liens, pay dividends or make loan repayments. With respect to the Senior Secured Revolving Facility, the related credit agreement requires that Qnity maintain, on a quarterly basis, a consolidated first lien net leverage ratio not to exceed 4.50:1.00, tested at the end of each fiscal quarter, subject to an increase of 0.50:1.00 in connection with the consummation of certain material acquisitions (defined in a customary manner) and applicable to the fiscal quarter in which such acquisition is consummated and the four consecutive full fiscal quarters thereafter. The Credit Agreement also contains representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, in each case, usual and customary for facilities and transactions of this type.
