TRANE TECHNOLOGIES PLC The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed under Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year endedDecember 31, 2020 . The following section is qualified in its entirety by the more detailed information, including our financial statements and the notes thereto, which appears elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. Overview OrganizationalTrane Technologies plc is a global climate innovator. We bring efficient and sustainable climate solutions to buildings, homes and transportation driven by strategic brands Trane® and Thermo King® and an environmentally responsible portfolio of products and services. Separation of Industrial Segment Businesses OnFebruary 29, 2020 (Distribution Date), we completed ourReverse Morris Trust transaction (the Transaction) withGardner Denver Holdings, Inc. (Gardner Denver, which changed its name to Ingersoll Rand Inc. after the Transaction) whereby we distributedIngersoll-Rand U.S. HoldCo, Inc. , which contained our former Industrial segment (Ingersoll Rand Industrial ), through a pro rata distribution (the Distribution) to our shareholders of record as ofFebruary 24, 2020 .Ingersoll Rand Industrial then merged into a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gardner Denver. Upon close of the Transaction, our existing shareholders received approximately 50.1% of the shares of Gardner Denver common stock on a fully-diluted basis and Gardner Denver stockholders retained approximately 49.9% of the shares of Gardner Denver on a fully diluted basis. As a result, our shareholders received .8824 shares of Gardner Denver common stock with respect to each share owned as ofFebruary 24, 2020 . In connection with the Transaction,Ingersoll-Rand Services Company , an affiliate ofIngersoll Rand Industrial , borrowed an aggregate principal amount of$1.9 billion under a senior secured first lien term loan facility (Term Loan), the proceeds of which were used to make a special cash payment of$1.9 billion to a subsidiary of ours. The obligations under the Term Loan were retained byIngersoll-Rand Services Company , which following the Transaction is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gardner Denver. As ofMarch 31, 2021 , the Company recorded an accrual and corresponding reduction to Retained earnings of$49.5 million relating to the agreement in principle with Gardner Denver to settle remaining transaction-related items. These adjustments are related to working capital, cash and indebtedness amounts as of the Distribution Date, as well as funding levels related to pension plans, non-qualified deferred compensation plans and retiree health benefits. After the Distribution Date, we do not beneficially own anyIngersoll Rand Industrial shares of common stock and no longer consolidateIngersoll Rand Industrial in our financial statements. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted inthe United States of America (GAAP), the historical results ofIngersoll Rand Industrial are presented as a discontinued operation in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Significant Events COVID-19 Global Pandemic InMarch 2020 , theWorld Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. During the first half of 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic adversely impacted our business globally including, but not limited to, lower end customer demand, certain supply chain delays, temporary facility closures and limitations of our workforce to essential crews only. In response, we proactively initiated cost cutting actions in an effort to mitigate the impact of the global pandemic on our business. Despite the challenges set forth by the COVID-19 global pandemic, throughout the second half of 2020 and continuing through the first quarter of 2021, our production facilities remained open, we continued to sell, install and service our products, and we actively managed our supply chain to prevent any major delays. During the first quarter of 2021, we experienced significant earnings growth as a result of strong execution, increased end market demand, price increases to cover rapidly increasing material and component costs and shift to higher margin product sales. In addition, we continued to invest in our businesses, develop and launch new products and deliver innovative customer solutions on electrification of heating and transport, enhanced indoor air quality, and precise temperature control along the full vaccine cold chain. As the rate of global vaccinations to fight the COVID-19 global pandemic increases, we expect economic conditions to improve. In addition, we expect continued increases in input material costs due to increased end customer demand, but to date have been able to recover these additional costs through corresponding price increases. We will continue to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 global pandemic as it evolves globally and will assess any potential impacts to our business and financial statements as necessary. 27 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Reorganization of Aldrich and Murray OnJune 18, 2020 (Petition Date), our indirect wholly-owned subsidiariesAldrich Pump LLC (Aldrich) andMurray Boiler LLC (Murray) each filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of Title 11 ofthe United States Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in theUnited States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina (theBankruptcy Court ). As a result of the Chapter 11 filings, all asbestos-related lawsuits against Aldrich and Murray have been stayed due to the imposition of a statutory automatic stay applicable in Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases. Only Aldrich and Murray have filed for Chapter 11 relief. Neither Aldrich's wholly-owned subsidiary, 200Park, Inc. (200 Park), Murray's wholly-owned subsidiary,ClimateLabs LLC (ClimateLabs),Trane Technologies plc nor its other subsidiaries (the Trane Companies) are part of the Chapter 11 filings. The goal of these Chapter 11 filings is an efficient and permanent resolution of all current and future asbestos claims through court approval of a plan of reorganization, which would establish, in accordance with section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, a trust to pay all asbestos claims. Such a resolution, if achieved, would likely include a channeling injunction to enjoin asbestos claims resolved in the Chapter 11 cases from being filed or pursued against us or our affiliates. The Chapter 11 cases remain pending as ofMarch 31, 2021 . From an accounting perspective, we no longer had control over Aldrich and Murray as of the Petition Date as their activities are subject to review and oversight by theBankruptcy Court . Therefore, Aldrich and its wholly-owned subsidiary 200 Park and Murray and its wholly-owned subsidiary ClimateLabs were deconsolidated as of the Petition Date and their respective assets and liabilities were derecognized from our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Trends and Economic Events We are a global corporation with worldwide operations. As a global business, our operations are affected by worldwide, regional and industry-specific economic factors as well as political and social factors wherever we operate or do business. Our geographic diversity and the breadth of our product and services portfolios have helped mitigate the impact of any one industry or the economy of any single country on our consolidated operating results. Given our broad range of products manufactured and geographic markets served, management uses a variety of factors to predict the outlook for our company. We monitor key competitors and customers in order to gauge relative performance and the outlook for the future. We regularly perform detailed evaluations of the different market segments we are serving to proactively detect trends and to adapt our strategies accordingly. In addition, we believe our order rates are indicative of future revenue and thus are a key measure of anticipated performance. Current economic conditions have shown improvement but remain mixed across our end markets. The COVID-19 global pandemic continues to impact both the global Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) and Transport end markets. As vaccine distribution and administration expands throughout 2021, market conditions are expected to improve across the geographies where we serve our customers. We believe we have a solid foundation of global brands that are highly differentiated in all of our major product lines. Our geographic and product diversity coupled with our large installed product base provides growth opportunities within our service, parts and replacement revenue streams. In addition, we are investing substantial resources to innovate and develop new products and services which we expect will drive our future growth. 28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Results of Operations Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months EndedMarch 31, 2020 - Consolidated Results 2021 2020 Period % of % of Dollar amounts in millions 2021 2020 Change revenues revenues Net revenues$ 3,017.6 $ 2,641.3 $ 376.3 Cost of goods sold (2,064.4) (1,898.8) (165.6) 68.4 % 71.9 % Gross profit 953.2 742.5 210.7 31.6 % 28.1 % Selling and administrative expenses (600.0) (588.1) (11.9) 19.9 % 22.3 % Operating income 353.2 154.4 198.8 11.7 % 5.8 % Interest expense (60.7) (63.1) 2.4 Other income/(expense), net (7.2) 12.5 (19.7) Earnings before income taxes 285.3 103.8 181.5 Benefit (provision) for income taxes (48.4) (51.0) 2.6 Earnings from continuing operations 236.9 52.8 184.1 Discontinued operations, net of tax 0.9 (78.7) 79.6 Net earnings (loss)$ 237.8 $ (25.9) $ 263.7 Net Revenues Net revenues for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 increased by 14.2%, or$376.3 million , compared with the same period in 2020, which resulted from the following: Volume 9.4 % Acquisitions 1.6 % Pricing 1.8 % Currency translation 1.4 % Total 14.2 % The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by increased end customer demand within all of our segments. Also during the fourth quarter of 2020 and in the first quarter of 2021, we completed three channel acquisitions, two of which were completed in theAmericas segment and the third which was completed within the EMEA segment, further driving an increase in Net revenues as compared to the prior year. Refer to the "Results by Segment" below for a discussion of Net revenues by segment. Gross Profit Margin Gross profit margin for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 increased 350 basis points to 31.6% compared to 28.1% for the same period of 2020. The increase was primarily driven by strong productivity, favorable pricing, favorable shift in product mix to higher margin products and lower spending on restructuring, partially offset by material inflation. Selling and Administrative Expenses Selling and administrative expenses for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 increased by 2.0%, or$11.9 million compared with the same period of 2020. The increase in Selling and administrative expenses was primarily driven by higher variable compensation and increased advertising costs, partially offset by the realization of benefits from prior restructuring programs and transformation savings, cost containment actions and lower spending on restructuring and transformation initiatives. Selling and administrative expenses as a percentage of Net revenues for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 decreased 240 basis points from 22.3% to 19.9% compared to the same period of 2020 primarily due to higher revenues during the period. 29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Table of Contents Interest Expense Interest expense for the three months endedMarch 31, 2021 decreased by 3.8%, or$2.4 million compared with the same period of 2020 primarily due to the repayment of$300.0 million of 2.625% Senior notes inApril 2020 and$300.0 million of 2.900% Senior notes inFebruary 2021 . Other Income/(Expense), Net The components of Other income/(expense), net for the three months endedMarch 31 were as follows: In millions 2021 2020 Interest income/(loss)$ 1.1 $ (0.1) Foreign currency exchange loss (3.7) (4.2)
Other components of net periodic benefit cost (5.7) (1.7) Other activity, net
1.1 18.5
Other income/(expense), net $ (7.2) $ 12.5
Other income /(expense), net includes the results from activities other than
normal business operations such as interest income and foreign currency gains
and losses on transactions that are denominated in a currency other than an
entity's functional currency. In addition, we include the components of net
periodic benefit cost for pension and post retirement obligations other than the
service cost component. Other activity, net primarily includes items associated
with certain legal matters as well as asbestos-related activities through the
Petition Date. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 , we recorded a
$17.4 million adjustment to correct an overstatement of a legacy legal liability
that originated in prior years within other activity, net.
Provision for Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2021 , our effective tax rate was 17.0%
which was lower than the U.S. statutory rate of 21% due primarily to excess tax
benefits from employee share-based payments and earnings in non-U.S.
jurisdictions, which in aggregate have a lower effective tax rate, partially
offset by U.S. state and local taxes. For the three months ended March 31, 2020
our effective tax rate was 49.1% which was higher than the U.S. statutory rate
of 21% due to a $37.0 million non-cash charge related to the establishment of
valuation allowances on net deferred tax assets, primarily net operating losses
in certain tax jurisdictions, as a result of the completion of the Transaction,
U.S. state and local taxes and certain non-deductible employee expenses. These
amounts were partially offset by excess tax benefits from employee share-based
payments, the deduction for Foreign Derived Intangible Income (FDII) and
earnings in non-U.S. jurisdictions, which in aggregate have a lower effective
tax rate. The establishment of the valuation allowances increased the effective
tax rate by 35.7%.
Discontinued Operations
The components of Discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended
March 31 were as follows:
In millions 2021 2020
Net revenues $ - $ 469.8 Pre-tax earnings (loss) from discontinued operations (11.3) (75.5) Tax benefit (expense)

(78.7)
Discontinued operations are retained obligations from previously sold businesses, including amounts related toIngersoll Rand Industrial as part of the completion of the Transaction and asbestos-related activities of Aldrich through the Petition Date. In addition, the three months endedMarch 31, 2020 includes pre-taxIngersoll Rand Industrial separation costs primarily related to legal, consulting and advisory fees of$99.1 million .

Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31,
2020 - Segment Results
We operate under three regional operating segments designed to create deep
customer focus and relevance in markets around the world.
•Our Americas segment innovates for customers in the North America and Latin
America regions. The Americas segment encompasses commercial heating and cooling
systems, building controls, and energy services and solutions; residential
heating and cooling; and transport refrigeration systems and solutions.
•Our EMEA segment innovates for customers in the Europe , Middle East and Africa
region. The EMEA segment encompasses heating and cooling systems, services and
solutions for commercial buildings, and transport refrigeration systems and
solutions.
•Our Asia Pacific segment innovates for customers throughout the Asia Pacific
region. The Asia Pacific segment encompasses heating and cooling systems,
services and solutions for commercial buildings and transport refrigeration
systems and solutions.
Management measures operating performance based on net earnings excluding
interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, restructuring,
unallocated corporate expenses and discontinued operations (Segment Adjusted
EBITDA). Segment Adjusted EBITDA is not defined under accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) and may not be
comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies and should not
be considered a substitute for net earnings or other results reported in
accordance with GAAP. We believe Segment Adjusted EBITDA provides the most
relevant measure of profitability as well as earnings power and the ability to
generate cash. This measure is a useful financial metric to assess our operating
performance from period to period by excluding certain items that we believe are
not representative of our core business and we use this measure for business
planning purposes. Segment Adjusted EBITDA also provides a useful tool for
assessing the comparability between periods and our ability to generate cash
from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake
capital expenditures because it eliminates non-cash charges such as depreciation
and amortization expense.
The following discussion compares our results for each of our three reportable
segments for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2020 .

Table of Contents
Americas
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by 10.9% or
$227.9 million , compared with the same period of 2020. The components of the
period change were as follows:
Volume 6.9 %
Acquisitions 1.8 %
Pricing 2.2 %
Total 10.9 %
The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by increased end customer
demand within our Residential HVAC and Transport businesses as well as favorable
pricing. Also, during the fourth quarter of 2020, we completed two channel
acquisitions further driving an increase in Net revenues as compared to the
prior year.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021
increased by 400 basis points to 16.5% compared to 12.5% for the same period in
2020. The increase was primarily driven by strong execution, productivity
benefits, favorable pricing, increased volumes and a favorable shift in product
mix to higher margin products, partially offset by material and other inflation.
EMEA
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by 21.9% or
$79.6 million , compared with the same period of 2020. The components of the
period change were as follows:
Volume 11.5 %
Acquisitions 1.2 %
Transfer of sales from Asia Pacific segment 0.7 %
Pricing 0.2 %
Currency translation 8.3 %
Total 21.9 %
The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by increased end customer
demand within both our Commercial HVAC and Transport businesses as well as
favorable impact from foreign currency translation. Also, during the quarter we
completed a channel acquisition, which is managed in our EMEA segment, and
includes sales formerly reported under our Asia Pacific segment, further driving
an increase in Net revenues as compared to the prior year.
Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021
increased by 540 basis points to 17.3% compared to 11.9% for the same period of
2020. The increase was primarily driven by strong execution, productivity
benefits, increased volumes, a favorable shift in product mix to higher margin
products and favorable impact from foreign currency translation, partially
offset by material and other inflation.
Asia Pacific
Net revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased by 38.4% or
$68.8 million , compared with the same period of 2020. The components of the
period change were as follows:
Volume 33.6 %
Transfer of sales to EMEA segment (1.5) %
Pricing 0.8 %
Currency translation 5.5 %
Total 38.4 %
The Asia Pacific segment was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 global
pandemic in the first quarter of 2020 as temporary closures to many facilities
in the region were required. These closures resulted in lower Net revenues in
the comparable period. The increase in Net revenues was primarily driven by
improved economic conditions as it relates to the COVID-19 global pandemic
within China resulting from increased end customer demand in both our Commercial
HVAC and Transport businesses, partially offset by mixed results in the rest of
Asia . Net revenues also increased from favorable foreign currency translation,
partially offset by the transfer of sales related to the EMEA channel
acquisition.

Table of Contents
Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin for the three months ended March 31, 2021
increased to 17.5% compared to 5.9% for the same period of 2020. The increase
was primarily driven by higher volumes as a result of increased end customer
demand from improved economic conditions as compared to the prior year driven by
the COVID-19 global pandemic as discussed above. Segment Adjusted EBITDA margin
also increased due to strong execution, productivity benefits and favorable
pricing, partially offset by material and other inflation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate cash to fund our
operating, investing and financing activities. In doing so, we review and
analyze our current cash on hand, the number of days our sales are outstanding,
inventory turns, capital expenditure commitments and income tax payments. Our
cash requirements primarily consist of the following:
•Funding of working capital
•Funding of capital expenditures
•Dividend payments
•Debt service requirements
Our primary sources of liquidity include cash balances on hand, cash flow from
operations, proceeds from debt offerings, commercial paper, and borrowing
availability under our existing credit facilities. We earn a significant amount
of our operating income in jurisdictions where it is deemed to be permanently
reinvested. Our most prominent jurisdiction of operation is the U.S. We expect
existing cash and cash equivalents available to the U.S. operations, the cash
generated by our U.S. operations, our committed credit lines as well as our
expected ability to access the capital and debt markets will be sufficient to
fund our U.S. operating and capital needs for at least the next twelve months
and thereafter for the foreseeable future. In addition, we expect existing
non-U.S. cash and cash equivalents and the cash generated by our non-U.S.
operations will be sufficient to fund our non-U.S. operating and capital needs
for at least the next twelve months and thereafter for the foreseeable future.
The maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes available to be
issued, on a private placement basis, under the commercial paper program is $2.0
billion , of which the company had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2021 .
As of March 31, 2021 , we had $2,838.0 million of cash and cash equivalents on
hand, of which $2,277.3 million was held by non-U.S. subsidiaries. Cash and cash
equivalents held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries are generally available for use in
our U.S. operations via intercompany loans, equity infusions or via
distributions from direct or indirectly owned non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we
do not assert permanent reinvestment. As a result of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act
in 2017, additional repatriation opportunities to access cash and cash
equivalents held by non-U.S. subsidiaries have been created. In general,
repatriation of cash to the U.S. can be completed with no significant
incremental U.S. tax. However, to the extent that we repatriate funds from
non-U.S. subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment to fund our
U.S. operations, we would be required to accrue and pay applicable non-U.S.
taxes. As of March 31, 2021 , we currently have no plans to repatriate funds from
subsidiaries for which we assert permanent reinvestment.
Share repurchases are made from time to time in accordance with management's
capital allocation strategy, subject to market conditions and regulatory
requirements. In October 2018 , our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase
of up to $1.5 billion of our ordinary shares under a share repurchase program
(2018 Authorization). During the three months ended March 31, 2021 , we
repurchased and canceled $104.2 million of our ordinary shares leaving $395.8
million remaining under the 2018 Authorization at March 31, 2021 . In February
2021 , our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $2.0 billion of
our ordinary shares under a new share repurchase program (2021 Authorization)
upon completion of the 2018 Authorization.
We expect to pay a competitive and growing dividend. In February 2021 , we
announced an 11% increase in our quarterly share dividend from $0.53 to $0.59
per ordinary share, or $2.36 per share annualized. The first quarter 2021
dividend was paid in March 2021 and the second quarter dividend was declared in
April 2021 and will be paid in June 2021 .
We continue to actively manage and strengthen our business portfolio to meet the
current and future needs of our customers. We achieve this partly through
engaging in research and development and sustaining activities and partly
through acquisitions. Each year, we make a significant investment in new product
development and new technology innovation as they are key factors in achieving
our strategic objectives as a leader in the climate sector. We also focus on
partnering with our suppliers and technology providers to align their investment
decisions with our technical requirements. In addition, we have a strong focus
on sustaining activities, which include costs incurred to reduce production
costs, improve existing products, create custom solutions for customers and
provide support to our manufacturing facilities. Combined, these costs account
for approximately two percent of annual net revenues each year.
33
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Table of Contents
In pursuing our business strategy, we routinely conduct discussions, evaluate
targets and enter into agreements regarding possible acquisitions, divestitures,
joint ventures and equity investments. Since 2019, we have acquired several
businesses and invested in companies that complement existing products and
services further enhancing our product portfolio. Most recently, we completed a
Reverse Morris Trust transaction with Gardner Denver whereby we separated
Ingersoll Rand Industrial from our business portfolio, transforming the Company
into a global climate innovator. We recognized separation-related costs of
$114.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 . These expenditures were
incurred in order to facilitate the Transaction and are included within
discontinued operations.
We incur ongoing costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to
result in improved operating performance, profitability and working capital
levels. Actions associated with these initiatives may include workforce
reductions, improving manufacturing productivity, realignment of management
structures and rationalizing certain assets. Post separation, we committed to
reduce costs by $140 million through 2021 and an additional $160 million by 2023
for a total of $300 million in total annual savings under our transformation
initiatives. We believe that our existing cash flow, committed credit lines and
access to the capital markets will be sufficient to fund share repurchases,
dividends, research and development, sustaining activities, business portfolio
changes and ongoing restructuring actions.
Certain of our subsidiaries entered into funding agreements with Aldrich and
Murray pursuant to which those subsidiaries are obligated, among other things,
to pay the costs and expenses of Aldrich and Murray during the pendency of the
Chapter 11 cases to the extent distributions from their respective subsidiaries
are insufficient to do so and to provide an amount for the funding for a trust
established pursuant to section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent
that the other assets of Aldrich and Murray are insufficient to provide the
requisite trust funding.
As the COVID-19 global pandemic impacts both the broader economy and our
operations, we will continue to assess our liquidity needs and our ability to
access capital markets. A continued worldwide disruption could materially affect
economies and financial markets worldwide, resulting in an economic downturn
that could affect demand for our products, our ability to obtain financing on
favorable terms and otherwise adversely impact our business, financial condition
and results of operations. The COVID-19 global pandemic created substantial
volatility in the short-term credit markets during the first half of 2020. A
recurrence in volatility due to a resurgence in the COVID-19 global pandemic
could impact the cost of our credit facilities, the cost of any borrowing we
might make under those facilities or the cost of any commercial paper we may
issue, to the extent we were to either draw on our facilities or issue
commercial paper. See Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in the Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for more information.

Debt and Credit Facilities
Our short-term obligations primarily consist of current maturities of long-term
debt. In addition, we have outstanding $342.9 million of fixed rate debentures
that contain a put feature that the holders may exercise on each anniversary of
the issuance date. If exercised, we are obligated to repay in whole or in part,
at the holder's option, the outstanding principal amount (plus accrued and
unpaid interest) of the debentures held by the holder. We also maintain a
commercial paper program which is used for general corporate purposes. Under the
program, the maximum aggregate amount of unsecured commercial paper notes
available to be issued, on a private placement basis, is $2.0 billion . We had no
outstanding balance under our commercial paper program as of March 31, 2021 and
December 31, 2020 . See Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
for additional information regarding the terms of our short-term obligations.
Our long-term obligations primarily consist of long-term debt with final
maturity dates ranging between 2023 and 2049. In addition, we maintain two $1.0
