Short-Term Borrowings and Borrowing Arrangements

Short-Term Borrowings and Borrowing Arrangements

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had no short-term borrowings.

In July 2025, we entered into an agreement to extend the expiration of our $3.0 billion senior unsecured 5-year revolving credit agreement from October 24, 2028 to October 24, 2029 (as extended, “Credit Agreement”). All other terms and conditions remain in full force and effect. The Credit Agreement includes an option, subject to certain conditions, for us to extend the term for an additional one-year period. We intend to use any borrowings under our Credit Agreement for general corporate purposes.

At December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had availability under the Credit Agreement for borrowings of up to an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion.

Pricing for interest and fees under our Credit Agreement may be modified in the event of a change in the rating of our long-term senior unsecured debt. We expect interest rates on borrowings under our Credit Agreement to be based on the Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a percentage based on the higher of the ratings of our long-term senior unsecured debt from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC (“S&P”). The applicable percentage for borrowings under our Credit Agreement at December 31, 2025 was 1.0% based on our long-term senior unsecured debt ratings on that date. Our Credit Agreement does not include any other rating triggers or any provisions that could require the posting of collateral.

Our Credit Agreement includes various covenants, one of which requires us to maintain a ratio of Consolidated EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) to Consolidated Interest Expense of not less than 4.0 to 1.0, calculated for the four most recent fiscal quarters. At December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with our covenants in our Credit Agreement. The terms “Consolidated EBITDA” and “Consolidated Interest Expense,” each as defined in our Credit Agreement, include certain adjustments.

PM USA guarantees any borrowings under our Credit Agreement and any amounts outstanding under our commercial paper program. For discussion of PM USA’s guarantees, see Note 9. Long-Term Debt.
