At June 30, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt exceeded the carrying value by $1.5 billion, as estimated using quoted market prices (a Level 2 measurement under applicable accounting standards).

At June 30, 2021, the Company had lines of credit, including the accounts receivable securitization programs described below, totaling $11.9 billion, of which $8.6 billion was unused.  Of the Company’s total lines of credit, $6.5 billion supported the combined U.S. and European commercial paper borrowing programs, against which there was $0.6 billion commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2021.

The Company has accounts receivable securitization programs (the “Programs”). The Programs provide the Company with up to $2.0 billion in funding resulting from the sale of accounts receivable with no unused capacity as of June 30, 2021 (see Note 15 for more information about the Programs).
