NOTE 9. DEBT
Loans Payable and Commercial Paper
Loans payable, commercial paper and the related weighted-average interest rates were as follows:
In millions March 31,
2026
December 31,
2025
Loans payable (1)
$ 451  $ 313 
Commercial paper (2)
349  353 
(1) Loans payable consist primarily of loans payable to various international and domestic financial institutions. It is not practicable to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.
(2) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was 3.12 percent and 3.20 percent at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
We can issue up to $4.0 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board authorized commercial paper programs. These programs facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third-party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes.
Revolving Credit Facilities
Our committed credit facilities provide access up to $4.0 billion from our $2.0 billion 3-year credit facility and our $2.0 billion 5-year facility. We intend to maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities at or before expiration. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the $349 million of outstanding commercial paper effectively reduced the $4.0 billion of revolving credit capacity to $3.7 billion.
At March 31, 2026, we also had an additional $777 million available for borrowings under our uncommitted international and other domestic credit facilities.

Shelf Registration
As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the SEC on February 13, 2025. Under this shelf registration we may offer, from time-to-time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.
Interest Rate Risk
In January 2026, we entered into a series of interest rates swaps to convert $150 million of our senior notes, due in 2054, from a fixed rate of 5.45 percent to a floating rate equal to the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread. See NOTE 13, “DERIVATIVES,” for additional information.
Fair Value of Debt
Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, considering our risk premium, the fair values and carrying values of total debt, including current maturities, were as follows:
