Excluding interest, current financing obligations of $111 million and $185 million are recorded within “Accrued expenses and other” and $3.4 billion and $5.8 billion are recorded within “Other long-term liabilities” as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021. The weighted-average remaining term of the financing obligations was 19.0 and 19.1 years and the weighted-average imputed interest rate was 3.8% and 3.4% as of December 31, 2020 and September 30, 2021.
(2)Includes unconditional purchase obligations related to certain products offered in our Whole Foods Market stores and long-term agreements to acquire and license digital media content that are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. For those digital media content agreements with variable terms, we do not estimate the total obligation beyond any minimum quantities and/or pricing as of the reporting date. Purchase obligations associated with renewal provisions solely at the option of the content provider are included to the extent such commitments are fixed or a minimum amount is specified.
(3)Includes the estimated timing and amounts of payments for rent and tenant improvements associated with build-to-suit lease arrangements that are under construction, asset retirement obligations, and liabilities associated with digital media content agreements with initial terms greater than one year.
(4)Excludes approximately $2.9 billion of accrued tax contingencies for which we cannot make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period of payment, if any.
