Maturity Schedule

As of 2025-12-31 (latest SEC filing with maturity data). Debt actions taken after this date will only appear once SEC processes the relevant XBRL filing.
Year 1 $763M Year 2 $1.9B Year 3 $73M Year 4 $915M Year 5 $1.5B Beyond 5 $9.6B
Period Amount Due % of Total
Year 1 (0-12 months) $763M 5.2%
Year 2 (12-24 months) $1.9B 13.0%
Year 3 (24-36 months) $73M 0.5%
Year 4 (36-48 months) $915M 6.2%
Year 5 (48-60 months) $1.5B 9.9%
Beyond 5 Years $9.6B 65.2%
Total Scheduled Maturities $14.7B 100.0%
Why don't these totals match? Total scheduled maturities ($14.7B) exceeds balance-sheet long-term debt ($13.1B) by about 10%. The two figures come from different disclosures: the maturity schedule aggregates gross principal repayments from the debt footnote — typically including the current portion of long-term debt and sometimes finance leases — while balance-sheet long-term debt is a carrying value that excludes the current portion and is net of unamortized discounts, premiums, and issuance costs. They can also come from filings with different period-end dates (2025-12-31 vs 2026-03-31). Both numbers are shown exactly as reported to the SEC.

Debt due within 24 months (Year 1 + Year 2 buckets): $2.7B
Current average rate = interest expense / interest-bearing debt = $244M / $13.9B = 1.76%
Synthetic rating bucket from coverage (EBITDA/interest 25.8x, operating income/interest 5.2x): AA
Market yield for AA bucket (ICE BofA via FRED, 2026-07-23): 5.28% (BAMLC0A2CAAEY)
Rate change: 5.28% − 1.76% = +3.52 pp
Annual cost change: +3.52% × $2.7B = +$94M/yr
As share of operating income ($1.3B): 7.4%
Index-level estimate, not issuer-level bond pricing: the rating bucket is inferred from interest coverage (not an agency rating), and actual new-issue pricing depends on tenor, security, and market conditions. See the methodology.
