SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE PROGRAMS
We negotiate payment terms directly with our suppliers for the purchase of goods and services. We currently offer voluntary supply chain finance programs that enable our suppliers to sell their Company receivables to financial intermediaries, at the sole discretion of both the suppliers and financial intermediaries. No guarantees are provided by us or our subsidiaries under the supply chain finance programs. The supply chain finance programs allow our suppliers to be paid by the financial intermediaries earlier than the due date on the applicable invoice. Supply chain finance programs that extend terms or provide us an economic benefit are classified as short-term financings. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $28 million and $29 million, respectively, deemed as short-term financings that are classified in Other current liabilities. Additionally, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had $73 million and $76 million, respectively, classified as Accounts payable.
