Credit Lines

We have a $2.5 billion credit line (“Credit Agreement”) expiring on July 31, 2019. Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, effective July 31, 2015, the expiration date of the Credit Agreement will be extended to July 31, 2020. We have the ability to classify borrowings under the Credit Agreement as long-term. Additionally, we can issue up to $2.0 billion of commercial paper. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 there were no outstanding commercial paper issuances or borrowings under the Credit Agreement. We also have uncommitted credit lines aggregating $915.6 million and $937.8 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Available and unused credit lines at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were (in millions):

The Credit Agreement contains financial covenants that require us to maintain a Leverage Ratio of consolidated indebtedness to consolidated EBITDA of no more than 3 times for the most recently ended 12-month period (under the Credit Agreement, EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and an Interest Coverage Ratio of consolidated EBITDA to interest expense of at least 5 times for the most recently ended 12-month period. At June 30, 2015, we were in compliance with these covenants, as our Leverage Ratio was 2.1 times and our Interest Coverage Ratio was 12.9 times. The Credit Agreement does not limit our ability to declare or pay dividends or repurchase our common stock.

Short-Term Borrowings

Short-term borrowings of $14.1 million and $7.2 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, are comprised of bank overdrafts and credit lines of our international subsidiaries. The bank overdrafts and credit lines are treated as unsecured loans pursuant to the agreements supporting the facilities. Due to the short-term nature of these instruments, carrying value approximates fair value.

On March 26, 2015, we entered into a $1 billion receive floating (three month LIBOR) pay fixed (2.3209%) forward-starting 10-year interest rate swap in connection with the maturity of our $1 billion 5.9% Senior Notes on April 15, 2016 (“2016 Notes”). The swap mitigates the risk of changes in the semi-annual interest payments during the period March 26, 2015 to May 2, 2016, the contractual termination date of the swap, and effectively locks in the fixed interest rate, excluding the effect of our credit spread, on any refinancing of the 2016 Notes. Accordingly, the swap is designated as a cash flow hedge of the semi-annual interest rate payments attributable to changes in the benchmark interest rate. We expect that the swap will have
almost no ineffectiveness and is carried on the balance sheet at fair value and any net gain or loss on the swap is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Upon termination of the swap, any gain or loss will be amortized to interest expense over the life of the new debt or will be recorded in our results of operations if the refinancing is not completed. At June 30, 2015, we recorded an asset of $35.2 million, which is included in other current assets and the related gain of $20.5 million, net of income taxes, is recorded in other comprehensive income. Additionally, the 2016 Notes are classified as a current liability.

In 2014, we entered into receive fixed pay floating interest rate swaps on the $1.25 billion principal amount of our 3.625% Senior Notes due 2022 (“2022 Notes”) and on the $1 billion principal amount of our 4.45% Senior Notes due 2020 (“2020 Notes”). The interest rate swaps hedge the risk of changes in fair value of the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes attributable to changes in the benchmark LIBOR interest rate. Under the swap contracts, we receive fixed interest rate payments equal to the coupon interest rate on the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes and pay a variable interest rate on the total principal amount of the notes, equal to three month LIBOR in arrears, plus a spread of 1.05% on the 2022 Notes and a spread of 2.16% on the 2020 Notes. The swaps qualify and are designated as fair value hedges on the 2022 Notes and 2020 Notes, respectively and have the economic effect of converting the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes from fixed rate debt to floating rate debt. Gains and losses attributed to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swaps substantially offset changes in the fair value of the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes attributed to changes in the benchmark interest rate. The net interest settlement is recorded in interest expense. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we recorded a receivable, which is included in other assets, of $36.8 million and $42.7 million, respectively, representing the fair value of the swaps that was substantially offset by the increase in the carrying value of the 2022 Notes and the 2020 Notes reflecting the change in fair value of the notes. Accordingly, any hedge ineffectiveness was not material to our results of operations.
