| INDEBTEDNESS |
INDEBTEDNESS The Company’s debt is recorded at its carrying value, which represents the issuance amount plus or minus any issuance premium or discount, except for certain debt as depicted in the table below, which is recorded at the carrying value adjusted for the fair value of an interest rate swap used to hedge the fair value of the note. The following table summarizes total indebtedness: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | June 30, 2026 | | Notes Payable: | Principal Amount | | Fair Value of Interest Rate Swaps (1) | | Unamortized (Discount) Premium | | Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs | | Carrying Value | 5.25% 2014 Senior Notes, due 2044 | $ | 600 | | | $ | (19) | | | $ | 3 | | | $ | (4) | | | $ | 580 | | 1.75% 2015 Senior Notes, due 2027 | 571 | | | — | | | — | | | — | | | 571 | | 3.25% 2017 Senior Notes, due 2028 | 500 | | | — | | | (1) | | | (1) | | | 498 | | 4.25% 2018 Senior Notes, due 2029 | 400 | | | (22) | | | (1) | | | (1) | | | 376 | | 4.875% 2018 Senior Notes, due 2048 | 400 | | | (22) | | | (6) | | | (3) | | | 369 | | 0.950% 2019 Senior Notes, due 2030 | 857 | | | — | | | (1) | | | (2) | | | 854 | | 3.25% 2020 Senior Notes, due 2050 | 300 | | | — | | | (4) | | | (2) | | | 294 | | 2.55% 2020 Senior Notes, due 2060 | 300 | | | — | | | (2) | | | (3) | | | 295 | | 2.00% 2021 Senior Notes, due 2031 | 600 | | | — | | | (4) | | | (3) | | | 593 | | 2.75% 2021 Senior Notes, due 2041 | 600 | | | — | | | (11) | | | (4) | | | 585 | | 3.10% 2021 Senior Notes, due 2061 | 500 | | | — | | | (6) | | | (5) | | | 489 | | 3.75% 2022 Senior Notes, due 2052 | 500 | | | (31) | | | (8) | | | (4) | | | 457 | | 4.25% 2022 Senior Notes, due 2032 | 500 | | | (4) | | | (1) | | | (2) | | | 493 | | 5.00% 2024 Senior Notes, due 2034 | 500 | | | — | | | (4) | | | (4) | | | 492 | | Total debt | $ | 7,128 | | | $ | (98) | | | $ | (46) | | | $ | (38) | | | $ | 6,946 | | | Current portion | | | | | | | | | (571) | | | Total long-term debt | | | | | | | | | $ | 6,375 | |

(1) The fair value of interest rate swaps in the tables above represents the cumulative amount of fair value hedging adjustments included in the carrying value of the hedged debt. Notes Payable At June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants contained within all of the debt agreements. All of the debt agreements contain cross default provisions which state that default under one of the aforementioned debt instruments could in turn permit lenders under other debt instruments to declare borrowings outstanding under those instruments to be immediately due and payable. As of June 30, 2026, there were no such cross defaults. The repayment schedule for the Company’s borrowings is as follows: | | | | | | | Year Ending December 31, | Year Ending Total | 2026 (After June 30,) | $ | — | | | 2027 | 571 | | | 2028 | 500 | | | 2029 | 400 | | | 2030 | 857 | | | Thereafter | 4,800 | | | Total | $ | 7,128 | |
