From the debt note in the 10-K's XBRL (0001628280-26-011402), as the company tags it: by issue, by year, by currency or by kind. Lines from two ways of cutting the same debt can overlap, so they are not added up. Fixed or floating is read from the line's own name only; "not stated" when it says neither.
Left: the debt lines on the balance sheet (XBRL). Right: the principal due each year, from the debt note's maturity schedule; it can differ a little from the balance sheet, which shows the debt net of discounts and fees. Leases are not counted. The full schedule →

From SEC's XBRL company facts (data.sec.gov). EBITDA = operating income + depreciation and amortization; free cash flow = operating cash flow - capital spending; total debt = long-term debt (with its current part) + short-term borrowings. Stock-based pay and leases are shown as the company reports them; Tickdelta does not take them out of earnings or add leases to debt. Click a number to open the filing in SEC's Inline XBRL viewer, where you can click the same number to see how it is tagged. Values a company later revised show as revised; the Revised numbers tab lists the changes.
