Debt Disclosure [Abstract] |
Debt | Debt Export Credit Facility Borrowings In December 2020, we borrowed $1.5 billion under export credit facilities due in semi-annual installments through 2033. 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes In February 2021, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion senior unsecured notes that mature on March 1, 2027 (the “2027 Senior Unsecured Notes”). The 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.8% per year. The 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by Carnival plc and the same subsidiaries of Carnival Corporation & plc that guarantee the 2023 Secured Notes, 2026 Secured Notes, 2027 Senior Secured Notes and 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes, and are unsecured. The indenture governing the 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes contains covenants that are substantially similar to the covenants in the indentures governing the 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes and, except for the unsecured nature of the 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes, the indentures governing the 2023 Secured Notes, 2026 Secured Notes and 2027 Secured Notes and the credit agreement governing the 2025 Secured Term Loan. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. Covenant Compliance Our export credit facilities contain one or more covenants that require us to: •Maintain minimum interest coverage (EBITDA to consolidated net interest charges for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters) (the “Interest Coverage Covenant”) of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter •Maintain minimum shareholders’ equity of $5.0 billion •Limit our debt to capital percentage (the “Debt to Capital Covenant”) to 65% at the end of each fiscal quarter •Limit the amounts of our secured assets as well as secured and other indebtedness We entered into supplemental agreements to waive compliance with the Interest Coverage Covenant and the Debt to Capital Covenant under our export credit facilities through August 31, 2022 or November 30, 2022, as applicable. We will be required to comply beginning with the next testing date of November 30, 2022 or February 28, 2023, as applicable. During the first quarter of 2021 we entered into supplemental agreements with respect to our $3.1 billion ($1.7 billion, €1.0 billion and £150 million) multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and many of our bank loans. These agreements now contain one or more covenants that require us to: •Maintain the Interest Coverage Covenant at the end of each fiscal quarter from February 28, 2023, at a ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2023 testing dates, 2.5 to 1.0 for the August 31, 2023 and November 30, 2023 testing dates, and 3.0 to 1.0 for the February 28, 2024 testing date onwards, or through their respective maturity dates. •Maintain minimum shareholders’ equity of $5.0 billion. •Maintain the Debt to Capital Covenant at the end of each fiscal quarter before the November 30, 2021 testing date at a percentage not to exceed 65%. From the November 30, 2021 testing date until the May 31, 2023 testing date, the Debt to Capital Covenant is not to exceed 75%, following which it will be tested at levels which decline ratably to 65% from the May 31, 2024 testing date onwards. •Maintain minimum liquidity of $1.0 billion through November 30, 2022. •Adhere to certain restrictive covenants through November 30, 2024. •Restrict the granting of guarantees and security interests for certain of our outstanding debt through November 30, 2024. At May 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants under our debt agreements. Generally, if an event of default under any debt agreement occurs, then, pursuant to cross default acceleration clauses, substantially all of our outstanding debt and derivative contract payables could become due, and all debt and derivative contracts could be terminated. Any financial covenant amendment may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other available lender protections that would be applicable. As of May 31, 2021, the scheduled maturities of our debt are as follows:
(in millions) |  |
Year |  | Principal Payments
2021 3Q |  | $ | 259 |
2021 4Q |  | 328 |
2022 |  | 2,782 |
2023 |  | 6,373 |
2024 (a) |  | 4,571 |
2025 |  | 3,994 |
Thereafter |  | 13,168 |
Total |  | $ | 31,475 |
(a)Includes the $3.1 billion Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn in 2020 for six month terms. The maturities for these borrowings are currently extended through September 2021. We may re-borrow such amounts through August 2024 subject to satisfaction of the conditions in the facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes an emissions linked margin adjustment whereby, after the initial applicable margin is set per the margin pricing grid, the margin may be adjusted based on performance in achieving certain agreed annual carbon emissions goals. We are required to pay a commitment fee on any undrawn portion.
