Debt and Financing Activities

Long-Term Debt

Our long-term debt includes both U.S. dollar and foreign currency (primarily Euro) denominated borrowings. At June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, $8,110 million and $8,107 million of total long-term debt were outstanding, of which $2,168 million and $1,610 million were included under the caption “Current portion of long-term debt” within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

At March 31, 2015, we had a term loan with an outstanding balance of $89 million (or £60 million). During the first quarter of 2016, we repaid this term loan for $93 million.

Revolving Credit Facilities

We have a syndicated $3.5 billionfive-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Global Facility”), which has a $3.15 billion aggregate sublimit of availability in Canadian dollars, British pound sterling and Euros. Borrowings under the Global Facility bear interest based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate, Canadian Dealer Offered Rate for credit extensions denominated in Canadian Dollars, a prime rate, or alternative overnight rates as applicable, and agreed margins. The Global Facility contains a financial covenant which obligates the Company to maintain a debt to capital ratio of no greater than 65% and other customary investment grade covenants. If we do not comply with these covenants, our ability to use the Global Facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under the Global Facility may be required. At June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility during the first quarter of 2017, and as of June 30, 2016.

We also maintain bilateral credit lines primarily denominated in Euros with a total committed and uncommitted balance of $420 million. Borrowings and repayments were not material during the first quarter of 2017. During the first quarter of 2016, we borrowed $246 million and repaid $240 million under these credit lines primarily related to short-term borrowings. These credit lines have interest rates ranging from 0.18% to 6% with interest payable monthly. As of June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, there were $27 million and $28 million outstanding under these credit lines.

Accounts Receivable Facilities

We previously maintained accounts receivable factoring facilities (the “Factoring Facilities”) denominated in foreign currencies. During the first quarters of 2017 and 2016, we borrowed $6 million and $285 million and repaid $13 million and $295 million in short-term borrowings under these facilities. The Factoring Facilities expired in April 2016. At June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016, there were nil and $7 million in secured borrowings outstanding under these facilities.

Commercial Paper

We maintain a commercial paper program to support our working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. Under the program, the Company can issue up to $3.5 billion in outstanding notes. There were no commercial paper issuances during the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, and no amounts outstanding at June 30, 2016 and March 31, 2016.
