(1) €500 at December 31, 2025 and €520 at December 31, 2024
The estimated fair value of the Company’s debt, using a market approach incorporating level 2 inputs such as quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, was $6,077 at December 31, 2025 and $6,255 at December 31, 2024.
In May 2025, the Company issued $700 principal amount of 5.875% senior unsecured notes due 2033 issued at par by its subsidiary Crown Americas LLC and used the proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem the $875 principal amount of 4.75% senior unsecured notes due February 2026. In October 2025, the Company issued €500 principal amount of 3.75% senior unsecured notes due 2031 issued at par by its subsidiary Crown European Holdings S.A. and used the proceeds, together with cash on hand, to redeem the €500 principal amount of 2.875% senior unsecured notes due February 2026. Additionally, in December 2025, the Company redeemed the $350 principal amount of 7.375% senior unsecured notes due December 2026. In connection with the early redemptions of senior notes, the Company recorded a loss from early extinguishment of debt of $15 in 2025 for premium payments.
In August 2024, the Company issued €600 principal amount of 4.50% senior unsecured notes due 2030 issued at par by its subsidiary Crown European Holdings S.A and used the proceeds to repay the €600 principal amount of 2.625% senior unsecured notes due September 2024.

The revolving credit facilities include provisions for letters of credit up to $335 that reduce the amount of borrowing capacity otherwise available. At December 31, 2025, the Company’s available borrowing capacity under the credit facilities was $1,629 equal to the facilities’ aggregate capacity of $1,650 less $21 of outstanding letters of credit. The interest rates on the facilities can vary from SOFR or EURIBOR, with a floor of zero, plus a margin of up to 1.60%, depending on the facility, based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The revolving credit facilities and term loan facilities required the Company to maintain a leverage
ratio of no greater than 4.50 times at December 31, 2025. The leverage ratio is calculated as total net debt divided by Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement). Total net debt is defined in the credit agreement as total debt less cash and cash equivalents. Consolidated EBITDA is calculated as the sum of, among other things, net income attributable to Crown Holdings, net income attributable to certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, income taxes, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and certain non-cash charges. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of December 31, 2025.
At December 31, 2025, the U.S. dollar term loan interest rate was SOFR plus 1.10% and the Euro term loan interest rate was EURIBOR plus 1.00%.
The weighted average interest rates were as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |||||||||||||||
| Short-term debt | 8.6 | % | 4.3 | % | 13.2 | % | |||||||||||
| Revolving credit facilities | 3.5 | % | 4.7 | % | 4.5 | % | |||||||||||
Aggregate maturities of long-term debt, excluding unamortized discounts and debt issuance costs, for the five years subsequent to 2025 are $480, $1,735, $587, $587, and $1,205. Cash payments for interest during 2025, 2024, and 2023 were $372, $367, and $390.

About Debt Disclosures
Debt disclosures detail a company's borrowing structure — the types of instruments, interest rates, maturity schedule, and covenant restrictions that define its financial obligations and flexibility. This section is essential for assessing refinancing risk, interest rate exposure, and the margin of safety against financial distress.
Key signals: the maturity schedule reveals concentration risk — large maturities within 1-2 years during tight credit markets can force dilutive refinancing or asset sales. Compare the fair value of debt against carrying amount to gauge whether the market views the company's credit risk differently than the balance sheet suggests. Watch covenant compliance disclosures for tightening cushions, especially leverage and interest coverage ratios. Variable-rate debt exposure quantifies sensitivity to interest rate changes. Secured versus unsecured mix affects recovery rates and future borrowing capacity. Compare net debt-to-EBITDA against industry peers and covenant limits to assess financial health.
