 under our existing shelf registrations of debt will provide us with sufficient capital resources and liquidity in the short-term and long-term to manage our working capital needs, meet contractual obligations, fund capital expenditures and dividends, repay debt, repurchase our common stock, and support the development of our short-term and long-term operating strategies.

Our capital expenditures can be adjusted and managed by us to match market demand and activity levels. We continue to believe that based on current market conditions, capital expenditures in 2025 are expected to be made at a rate that would equal up to 5% of annual revenue. The expenditures are expected to be used primarily for normal, recurring items necessary to support our business.

Based on our current outlook, we anticipate making income tax payments in the range of $1.0 billion to $1.1 billion in 2025.

Other Factors Affecting Liquidity

Customer receivables: In line with industry practice, we may bill our customers for services provided in arrears dependent upon contractual terms. In a challenging economic environment, we may experience delays in the payment of our invoices due to customers' lower cash flow from operations or their more limited access to credit markets. While historically there have not been material non-payment events, we attempt to mitigate this risk through working with our customers to restructure their debts. With regard to our primary customer in Mexico, there have not historically been any material losses due to uncollectible accounts receivable, nor are any such balances currently in dispute. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had issued credit default swaps ("CDS") totaling $775 million and $553 million, respectively, to third-party financial institutions. The CDS relate to borrowings provided by these financial institutions to our primary customer in Mexico who utilized these borrowings to pay certain of the Company's outstanding receivables. The total notional amount remaining on the issued CDS was $556 million and $412 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which will reduce each month through September 2026 as the customer repays the borrowings. As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of these derivative liabilities is not material.

A customer's failure or delay in payment could have a material adverse effect on our short-term liquidity and results of operations. Our gross customer receivables were 16% in the U.S. and 11% in Saudi Arabia as of March
