Long-Term Debt
Loans and financial obligations lasting over one year.
Investopedia Commentary
For example debts obligations such as bonds and notes which have maturities greater than one year would be considered long-term debt. Other securities such as T-bills and commercial papers would not be long-term debt as their maturities are typically shorter than one year.
In the U.K., long-term debts are known as "long-term loans."
