Export Credit Facility Borrowings Our export credit facilities are due in semi-annual installments through 2037. As of August 31, 2025, we had $8.7 billion of undrawn export credit facilities to fund ship deliveries planned through 2033. As of August 31, 2025, the net book value of our ships subject to negative pledges pursuant to export credit facilities was $18.2 billion. In September 2025, Sun Princess II borrowed $0.8 billion under an export credit facility due in semi-annual installments through 2037. Collateral Pool As of August 31, 2025, the net book value of our ships and ship improvements, excluding ships under construction, is $39.7 billion. Our secured debt is secured on a first-priority basis by certain collateral, which includes ships and certain assets related to those ships and material intellectual property (combined net book value of approximately $22.7 billion, including $21.0 billion related to ships and certain assets related to those ships as of August 31, 2025) and certain other assets. Convertible Notes In September 2025, we issued a notice of redemption for the entire outstanding principal amount of the 5.75% convertible senior notes due 2027, to be redeemed on December 5th, 2025. Covenant Compliance As of August 31, 2025, the most restrictive covenants for our Revolving Facility, unsecured loans and export credit facilities include the following: •Maintain minimum interest coverage (adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net interest charges, as defined in the agreements) at a ratio of not less than 2.5 to 1.0 for the August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2025 testing dates, and at a ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 for the February 28, 2026 testing date onwards and as applicable through their respective maturity dates •For our unsecured euro floating rate loan and export credit facilities, maintain minimum issued capital and consolidated reserves (as defined in the agreements) of $5.0 billion •Limit our debt to capital (as defined in the agreements) percentage to a percentage not to exceed 65% •For our export credit facilities, maintain minimum liquidity of $1.5 billion •Limit the amounts of our secured assets as well as secured and other indebtedness At August 31, 2025, 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 and/or cross-acceleration clauses therein, substantially all of our outstanding debt could become due, and our debt 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.
