Significant events affecting travel, including COVID-19, typically have an impact on the booking pattern for cruise vacations, with the full extent of the impact generally determined by the length of time the event influences travel decisions.
Based on our assumptions and estimates and our financial condition, we believe that the liquidity described in the following paragraphs will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months.
−Removed: However, there can be no assurance that our assumptions and estimates are accurate due to possible unknown variables, including, but not limited to, whether the CDC will issue additional No Sail Orders on cruises out of the United States.
−Removed: The No Sail Order is currently set to expire on or before July 24, 2020.
−Removed: The Company, working with the CDC, is developing its enhanced safety and health protocols as well as other operational procedures necessary to return its vessels to service and is targeting mid-summer of 2020 to begin sailings;
−Removed: however, if the ban on cruising is extended beyond the third quarter of 2020, it will have a material adverse impact on our current and forecasted liquidity levels.
−Removed: There are also other unknown variables related to the unprecedented suspension of our operations and, as such, there is significant uncertainty in our ability to predict future liquidity requirements.
−Removed: As of March 31, 2020, the Company had liquidity of $ 3.6 billion, consisting of cash and cash equivalents, net of our outstanding commercial paper notes.
−Removed: During the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and through the issuance of these financial statements, as described in Note 7.
−Removed: Debt , the Company:
−Removed: • increased the capacity under our revolving credit facilities by $ 0.6 billion and fully drew on both facilities;
−Removed: • entered into 364 -day senior secured term loan for $ 2.2 billion, which was subsequently increased to $ 2.35 billion and was repaid in its entirety through the date of these financial statements;
−Removed: • secured deferrals of existing debt amortization under our export-credit backed ship debt facilities which increased the Company’s liquidity by an additional $ 0.8 billion.
−Removed: The Company has also undertaken several proactive measures as well as has future plans to mitigate the financial and operational impacts of COVID-19, through new financing options, reduction of capital expenditures and operating expenses, including furloughing staff, laying up vessels, as well as agreeing with certain of our lenders not to pay dividends or engage in stock repurchases.
−Removed: We were in compliance with all of our debt covenants as of March 31, 2020 and the date these financial statements were issued.
−Removed: Subsequent to March 31, 2020, we amended each of our outstanding facilities to waive compliance with all financial covenants in such facilities through and including the first quarter of 2021.
−Removed: We also have agreements with a number of credit card processors that transact advance passenger ticket deposits and onboard transactions related to our cruise voyages.
−Removed: These agreements allow the credit card processors to require under certain circumstances, including the existence of a material adverse change, excessive chargebacks and other triggering events, that we maintain a reserve which could be satisfied by posting collateral.
−Removed: While we have not posted any collateral under these agreements as of the date of the issuance of the financial statements, we are currently in discussions with certain processors which may result in the posting of collateral to satisfy reserve requirements.
−Removed: Based on the triggers in the various agreements and the conversations to date, we believe the maximum reserve we may need to provide under these agreements in the next twelve months is approximately $ 300 million.
−Removed: Any covenant waiver may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other available lender protections that would be applicable.
−Removed: There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain waivers in a timely manner, or on acceptable terms at all.
−Removed: If we were not able to obtain waivers or repay the debt facilities, this would lead to an event of default and potential acceleration of amounts due under all of our outstanding debt and derivative contract payables.
+Added: However, there can be no
+Added: assurance that our assumptions and estimates are accurate due to possible unknown variables, including, but not limited to, whether the CDC will continue to extend the current No Sail Orders on cruises out of the United States and whether efforts by other countries to contain the disease will further restrict our ability to commence operations.
+Added: The suspension of our operations and the impact to our global bookings resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to have a material negative impact on our results of operations and liquidity, which may be prolonged beyond containment of the disease.
+Added: We have undertaken several proactive measures to mitigate the financial and operational impacts of COVID-19, including reduction of capital expenditures and operating expenses, furloughing staff and laying up of vessels.
+Added: As of June 30, 2020, we had liquidity of $ 4.1 billion, consisting of cash and cash equivalents.
+Added: Through the six months ended June 30, 2020 and through the issuance of these financial statements, we executed and amended various financing arrangements, as described in Note 7.

+Added: additional liquidity of $ 5.5 billion with the issuance of new debt, net of repayments;
+Added: £ 300.0 million, or $ 370.8 million based on exchange rates as of June 30, 2020, of available and issued liquidity under a government commercial paper program with the Bank of England and the deferral of $ 0.9 billion of existing debt amortization under our export-credit backed ship debt facilities through April 2021.
+Added: Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, we amended our export credit facilities and our non-export credit facilities, totaling an outstanding principal amount of $ 11.0 billion, and certain of our credit card processing agreements to suspend the testing of financial covenants through and including the first quarter of 2021.
+Added: Certain of the amended agreements imposed a monthly-tested liquidity covenant of $ 300.0 million of cash and cash equivalents for the duration of the waiver period.
+Added: Subsequent to June 30, 2020, we further extended the financial covenant waiver on our export credit facilities, certain of our non-export credit facilities and our credit card processor agreements through and including the fourth quarter of 2021, which resulted in an increased minimum liquidity covenant of $ 500.0 million, as applicable, subject to reduction in the event of further capital raises.
+Added: Pursuant to these amendments, we have also agreed that we will not pay cash dividends or effectuate share repurchases during the waiver period unless we are in compliance with the fixed charge coverage covenant as of the end of the most recently completed quarter for the duration of the waiver period.
+Added: As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with the minimum liquidity covenant of $ 300.0 million and we estimate that we will be in compliance with our amended minimum liquidity covenant of $ 500.0 million for at least the next twelve months.
+Added: Refer to Note 7.
+Added: Debt for further information regarding our debt covenants.
+Added: Any further covenant waivers may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other available lender protections as may be agreed with our lenders.
+Added: There can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain additional waivers in a timely manner, or on acceptable terms.
+Added: If we were not able to obtain additional waivers or repay the debt facilities, this would lead to an event of default and potential acceleration of amounts due under all of our outstanding debt and derivative contracts.
+Added: If we were not able to obtain waivers on the credit card processing agreements, this could lead to the termination of these agreements or the trigger of reserve requirements.
+Added: Certain of our credit card processing agreements that govern the terms to advance passenger ticket deposits, require under certain circumstances, including existence of a material adverse change, excessive chargebacks and other triggering events, that we maintain a reserve which could be satisfied by posting collateral.
+Added: We have executed amendments to these agreements, such that certain covenant and collateral requirements are waived for a period through December 2021.
+Added: Based on the triggers in the various agreements, we do not believe any incremental collateral will be required, although the maximum additional collateral or reserves we could potentially need to provide under these agreements in the next twelve months is approximately $ 75 million.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
16 unchanged sentences
We are currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.
+Added: In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No.
+Added: 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40), which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments.
+Added: The guidance removes certain accounting models which separate the embedded conversion features from the host contract for convertible instruments, requiring bifurcation only if the convertible debt feature qualifies as a derivative under ASC 815 or for convertible debt issued at a substantial premium.
+Added: The ASU removes certain settlement conditions required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, permitting more contracts to qualify for it.
+Added: In addition, the guidance eliminates the treasury stock method to calculate diluted earnings per share for convertible instruments and requires the use of the if-converted method.
