The Company’s bank facilities allow for borrowings at rates based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) and at other variable rates for non-U.S. dollar denominated borrowings, plus a fixed spread that varies with the Company’s debt ratings assigned by Moody’s Ratings and S&P Global Ratings ranging from 0.63% to 1.10%. The bank facilities contain only one financial covenant relating to interest coverage of three times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including both intangible amortization and amortization of our film and television production and programming costs. On June 28, 2025, the Company met this covenant by a significant margin. The bank facilities specifically exclude certain entities, including the Asia Theme Parks, from any representations, covenants or events of default. The Company also has the ability to issue up to $500 million of letters of credit under the facility expiring in March 2027, which if utilized, reduces available borrowings under this facility. As of June 28, 2025, the Company has $0.5 billion of outstanding letters of credit, of which none were issued under this facility. Outstanding letters of credit at Star India totaling $0.7 billion at June 28, 2025 that were entered into prior to the Star India Transaction are guaranteed by the Company through calendar 2025.

In November 2024, in connection with the delivery of the Disney Treasure, the Company borrowed $1.1 billion with a fixed interest rate of 3.80%. Payments are due semi-annually over a 12-year term.
The Company has a credit facility for $1.1 billion that may be utilized to finance a significant portion of the contract price of the Disney Destiny, which is currently scheduled to be delivered in fiscal 2026.
