The Company has a trade accounts receivable securitization program (the “Securitization Program”) in the United States with a group of financial institutions. The Securitization Program allows the Company to transfer, on an ongoing revolving basis, an undivided interest in a designated pool of trade accounts receivable, to provide security or collateral for borrowings of up to $700 million. The Securitization Program does not qualify for off balance sheet accounting treatment and any borrowings under the Securitization Program are recorded as debt in the consolidated balance sheets. Under the Securitization Program, the Company legally sells and isolates certain U.S. trade accounts receivable into a wholly owned and consolidated bankruptcy remote special purpose entity. Such receivables, which are recorded within “Receivables” in the consolidated balance sheets, totaled $1.31 billion and $1.27 billion at September 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023, respectively. The Securitization Program contains certain covenants relating to the quality of the receivables sold.

The Company has a five-year $1.50 billion revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks, which expires in August 2027. It consists of revolving credit facilities and the issuance of up to $200.0 million of letters of credit and up to $300.0 million of loans in certain approved currencies. As of September 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023, there were $0.9 million in letters of credit issued under the Credit Facility. Under the Credit Facility, the Company may select from various interest rate options, currencies, and maturities. The Credit Facility contains certain covenants, including various limitations on debt incurrence, share repurchases, dividends, investments, and capital expenditures. The Credit Facility also includes a financial covenant requiring the Company to maintain a leverage ratio not to exceed a certain threshold, which the Company was in compliance with as of September 30, 2023, and July 1, 2023.

As of September 30, 2023, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s total debt was $3.17 billion and $3.05 billion, respectively. At July 1, 2023, the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s total debt was $3.06 billion and $2.98 billion, respectively. Fair value for the public notes was estimated based upon quoted market prices (Level 1) and, for other forms of debt, fair value approximates carrying value due to the market based variable nature of the interest rates on those debt facilities (Level 2).
