Short-Term Borrow ings
Short-Term Borrowings. An additional source of Parent Company liquidity is a credit facility with a group of lenders. The facility was amended on March 29, 2024, resulting in an increased capacity of $250 million. The facility allows for unsecured borrowings and stand-by letters of credit up to $1 billion, which could be increased up to $1.25 billion. While the Parent Company may request the increase, it is not guaranteed. The updated five-year credit agreement will mature on March 29, 2029. Up to $250 million in letters of credit can be issued against the facility. The facility serves as a backup line of credit for a commercial paper program under which commercial paper may be issued at any time, with total commercial paper outstanding not to exceed the facility maximum less any letters of credit issued. Interest charged on the commercial paper program resembles variable rate debt due to its short term nature. As of December 31, 2025, we had available $579 million of additional borrowing capacity under this facility, compared with $466 million a year earlier. Globe Life has consistently been able to issue commercial paper as needed during the three years ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025, the Parent Company was in full compliance with all covenants related to the aforementioned debt.
As a part of the credit facility, Globe Life has stand-by letters of credit. These letters are issued among our insurance subsidiaries, one of which is an offshore captive reinsurer, and have no impact on company obligations as a whole. Any future regulatory changes that restrict the use of off-shore captive reinsurers might require Globe Life to obtain third-party financing, which could cause an increase in financing costs. On March 29, 2023, the letters of credit were amended to reduce the amount outstanding from $125 million to $115 million. The outstanding letters of credit remained at $115 million at December 31, 2025.
The Parent Company expects to have readily available funds for 2026 and the foreseeable future to conduct its operations and to maintain target capital ratios in the insurance subsidiaries. In the unlikely event that more liquidity is needed, the Company could generate additional funds through multiple sources including, but not limited to, the issuance of debt, an additional short-term credit facility, and intercompany borrowings. Refer to Note 5—Commitments and Contingencies and the discussion surrounding the Company's obligations over the next five years. As noted above, the Parent Company had access to $76 million of liquid assets available as of December 31, 2025. This liquidity is available to the Company in the event additional funds are needed to support the targeted capital levels within our insurance subsidiaries.
Consolidated Liquidity. Consolidated net cash inflows provided from operations were $1.40 billion in 2025 and 2024. The Company sold shorter term securities and reinvested in longer term investments, extending duration and taking advantage of higher current interest rates during the year ended December 31, 2025. As noted under the caption Credit Facilityin Note 12—Debt, the Parent Company has in place a revolving credit facility and a P-CAPS facility. The insurance companies have no additional outstanding credit facilities.
Cash and short-term investments were $459 million at the end of 2025, compared with $250 million at the end of 2024. In addition to these liquid assets, $17.6 billion (fair value at December 31, 2025) of fixed income securities are available for sale in the event of an unexpected need. Approximately $1.4 billion, at fair value, are pledged for outstanding FHLB advances and reinsurance. Further, approximately 98% of our fixed income securities are publicly traded, freely tradable under SEC Rule 144, or qualified for resale under SEC Rule 144A. While our fixed income securities are classified as available for sale, we have the ability and general intent to hold any securities to recovery or maturity. Our strong cash flows from operations, on-going investment maturities, and available liquidity under our credit facility, FHLB, and P-CAPS facility make any need to sell securities for liquidity highly unlikely.
