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.
