Our forecast assumes cash content spend of roughly $18B and an estimated $800M in cash outflows related to the timing of certain direct and indirect tax deposits, which is in addition to our typical annual tax obligations. During 2025, we expect to pay down $1.8B in bonds that mature during the year using the proceeds from our investment grade debt offering in 2024.
