Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our principal sources of liquidity are our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. Our cash
and cash equivalents balance was $738 million, $540 million and $822 million, and our marketable
securities balance was $563 million, $456 million and $278 million at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000,
respectively.
Combined cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were $1.30 billion, $997 million and
$1.10 billion at December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Equity securities of $4 million are
included in ""Marketable securities'' at December 31, 2002, the value of which may Öuctuate signiÑcantly.
Equity securities of $13 million and $36 million were included in ""Marketable securities'' at December 31,
2001 and 2000, respectively.
We have pledged a portion of our marketable securities as collateral for standby letters of credit that
guarantee certain of our contractual obligations, a majority of which relates to property leases; the swap
agreement that hedges the foreign-exchange rate risk on a portion of our 6.875% PEACS; and some of our
real estate lease agreements. The amount of marketable securities we are required to pledge pursuant to
the swap agreement Öuctuates with the fair market value of the swap obligation. The change in the total
amount of collateral pledged under these agreements was as follows (in thousands):
