Long-Term Debt
The Company’s long-term debt includes both U.S. dollar and foreign currency-denominated borrowings. At June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, $7.4 billion of total debt was outstanding, of which $1.1 billion was included under the caption “Current portion of long-term debt” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revolving Credit Facilities
In the second quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a syndicated $4 billion five-year senior unsecured credit facility (the “2020 Credit Facility”), which has a $3.6 billion aggregate sublimit of availability in Canadian dollars, British pound sterling and Euro. The 2020 Credit Facility matures in September 2024 and had no borrowings during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and no amounts outstanding as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020. The remaining terms and conditions of the 2020 Credit Facility are substantially similar to those previously in place under the $3.5 billion five-year senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Global Facility”), which was scheduled to mature in October 2020. The Global Facility was terminated in connection with the execution of the 2020 Credit Facility in September 2019.
Borrowings under the 2020 Credit Facility bear interest based upon the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), Canadian Dealer Offered Rate for credit extensions denominated in Canadian dollars, a prime rate, or alternative overnight rates as applicable, plus agreed margins. The 2020 Credit 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 the Company does not comply with these covenants, its ability to use the 2020 Credit Facility may be suspended and repayment of any outstanding balances under the 2020 Credit Facility may be required. At June 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all covenants.
The Company also maintains bilateral credit facilities primarily denominated in Euro with a committed amount of $8 million and an uncommitted amount of $169 million as of June 30, 2020. Borrowings and repayments were not material during the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and amounts outstanding under these credit lines were not material as of June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020.
Commercial Paper
The Company maintains a commercial paper program to support its working capital requirements and for other general corporate purposes. Under the program, the Company can issue up to $4.0 billion in outstanding commercial paper notes. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company borrowed $5.3 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, and repaid $5.3 billion and $2.6 billion, respectively, under the program. At June 30, 2020 and March 31, 2020, there were no commercial paper notes outstanding.
