NOTE 4. DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASES

Short-Term Borrowings

        We had $131 million and $183.8 million of borrowings from U.S. commercial paper issuances outstanding at December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, with a weighted-average interest rate of 2.75% and 1.79%, respectively.

        In March 2016, we entered into an agreement to establish a Euro-Commercial Paper Program pursuant to which we may issue unsecured commercial paper notes up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding of $500 million. Proceeds from issuances under this program may be used for general corporate purposes. The maturities of the notes may vary, but may not exceed 364 days from the date of issuance. Our payment obligations with respect to any notes issued under this program are backed by our revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"). There are no financial covenants under this program. As of December 29, 2018, there was no balance outstanding under this program.

Short-Term Credit Facilities

        In November 2017, we amended and restated the Revolver, increasing the amount available from certain domestic and foreign banks from $700 million to $800 million. The amendment also extended the Revolver's maturity date to November 8, 2022. The maturity date may be extended for additional one-year periods under certain circumstances. The commitments under the Revolver may be increased by up to $300 million, subject to lender approvals and customary requirements. The Revolver is used as a back-up facility for our commercial paper program and can be used for other corporate purposes.

        No balance was outstanding under the Revolver as of December 29, 2018 or December 30, 2017. Commitment fees associated with the Revolver in 2018, 2017, and 2016 were $1.2 million, $1.1 million, and $1.1 million, respectively.

        In addition to the Revolver, we have significant short-term lines of credit available in various countries totaling approximately $330 million at December 29, 2018. These lines may be cancelled at any time by us or the issuing banks. Short-term borrowings outstanding under our lines of credit were $45.5 million and $76.1 million at December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, respectively, with a weighted-average interest rate of 7% and 6.2%, respectively.

        From time to time, certain of our subsidiaries provide guarantees on certain arrangements with banks. Our exposure to these guarantees is not material.

Long-Term Borrowings and Capital Leases

        In December 2018, we issued $500 million of senior notes, due December 2028. The senior notes bear an interest rate of 4.875% per year, payable semiannually in arrears. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and offering expenses, were $493.3 million, which we used to repay commercial paper borrowings. Prior to the issuance of these senior notes, we used commercial paper borrowings in the third quarter to fund our $200 million contribution to the Avery Dennison Pension Plan ("ADPP") in connection with its termination. Refer to Note 6, "Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits."

        In March 2017, we issued €500 million of senior notes, due March 2025. The senior notes bear an interest rate of 1.25% per year, payable annually in arrears. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses, were $526.6 million (€495.5 million), a portion of which we used to repay commercial paper borrowings used to finance a portion of our purchase price for the acquisition of Mactac, and the remainder of which we used for general corporate purposes and the 2017 Acquisitions. We designated a portion of these senior notes as a net investment hedge of our investment in foreign operations. Refer to Note 5, "Financial Instruments," for more information.

        Long-term debt, including its respective interest rates, and capital lease obligations at year-end consisted of the following:

        The Revolver contains financial covenants requiring that we maintain specified ratios of total debt and interest expense in relation to certain measures of income. As of December 29, 2018 and December 30, 2017, we were in compliance with our financial covenants.

        Our total interest costs in 2018, 2017, and 2016 were $63.8 million, $67.9 million, and $63.5 million, respectively, of which $5.3 million, $4.9 million, and $3.6 million, respectively, was capitalized as part of the cost of assets.

        The estimated fair value of our long-term debt is primarily based on the credit spread above U.S. Treasury securities or euro government bond securities, as applicable, on notes with similar rates, credit ratings, and remaining maturities. The fair value of short-term borrowings, which includes commercial paper issuances and short-term lines of credit, approximates carrying value given the short duration of these obligations. The fair value of our total debt was $2 billion at December 29, 2018 and $1.6 billion at December 30, 2017. Fair value amounts were determined based primarily on Level 2 inputs, which are inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable.
