Interest payments due during the next five years as of December 27, 2025 are $96.3 million in 2026, $192.5 million in 2027 through 2028, $169.8 million in 2029 through 2030 and $550.5 million in 2031 and beyond.

Credit Facilities

In August 2022, the Company entered into a third amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “2022 Revolving Credit Agreement”), and borrowings thereunder will be used for general corporate purposes. The maturity date of the facility is August 2027. Interest rates under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement are variable based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) at the time of the borrowing and the Company’s long-term credit rating and can range from SOFR + 1.02% to SOFR + 1.525%. Under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, the Company is required to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense of 3.0 to 1.0. Consolidated EBITDA is defined as consolidated net income before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, losses from asset impairments, and certain other one-time adjustments. In addition, the Company's ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA generally may not exceed 3.5 to 1.0. There were no outstanding borrowings under this facility as of December 27, 2025 or December 28, 2024. As of December 27, 2025, we were in compliance with all covenants under this facility.

 

In January 2026, the Company entered into a fourth amended and restated $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “2026 Revolving Credit Agreement”). The 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement extends the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement for a five-year term maturing in January 2031. Borrowings under the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement will bear interest at variable rates equal to, at the Company’s election, the term SOFR rate applicable for an interest period selected by the Company. The applicable term SOFR rate margin will be determined based on the ratings of the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt securities. The daily simple SOFR rate margins range from 0.80% to 1.30%. The required ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated interest expense and the ratio of consolidated debt minus certain cash and cash equivalents to consolidated EBITDA under the 2026 Revolving Credit Agreement remained unchanged from the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement.

 

We currently have uncommitted bank lines of credit in China, which provide for unsecured borrowings for working capital of up $30.5 million in aggregate as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024, of which

there were no outstanding balances as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024. The weighted-average interest rates on these borrowings were zero in 2025 and 2024.

 

Commercial Paper

The Company operates a commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) pursuant to which the Company may issue unsecured commercial paper notes. The Company’s 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, is the liquidity backstop for the repayment of any notes issued under the Commercial Paper Program, and as such, borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program are included in Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed, with the aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time, including borrowings under the 2022 Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended, not to exceed $1.25 billion. The Company expects to use any issuances under the Commercial Paper Program for general corporate purposes. Outstanding borrowings under the Commercial Paper Program as of December 27, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were $368.8 million and zero, respectively.

 

In our debt and credit agreements, there are normal and customary events of default which would permit the lenders to accelerate the debt if not cured within applicable grace periods, such as failure to pay principal or interest when due or a change in control of the Company. There were no events of default as of December 27, 2025.

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.
