The revolving credit facility (RCF) in place as of December 31, 2019 has a maturity date of February 13, 2024. The US$1 billion facility was secured with a selected group of 11 core relationship banks and has uncommitted option to increase the RCF by an additional US$500 million. The RCF allows the Company to finance EPC activities / working capital, bridge any long-term financing needs, and/or finance general corporate purposes, when needed, in the following proportions:

  • EPC activities / working capital – 100% of the facility;
  • General Corporate Purposes – up to 50% of the facility;
  • Refinancing project debt – 100% of the facility but limited to a period of 18 months

The pricing of the RCF is based on LIBOR and a margin adjusted in accordance with the applicable leverage ratio ranging from a minimum level of 0.50% p.a. to a maximum of 1.50% p.a. The margin also includes a Sustainability Adjustment Mechanism whereby the margin may increase or decrease by 0.05% based on the absolute change in the Company performance as measured and reported by Sustainalytics1. The Company's performance in 2019 allows for a 0.05% decrease in margin for 2020.

On February 5, 2020, the Company has exercised a one-year extension option with regards to the RCF, refer to note 4.3.35 Events After End of Reporting Periodfor further details.

Covenants

The following key financial covenants apply to the RCF as agreed with the respective lenders on February 13, 2019, and unless stated otherwise, relate to the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

  • Solvency: Consolidated IFRS Tangible Net Worth divided by Consolidated IFRS Tangible Assets must be > 25%;
  • Interest Cover Ratio: Consolidated Directional Underlying EBITDA divided by Consolidated Directional Net Interest Payable must be > 4.0.

The Lease Backlog Cover Ratio (LBCR) is used to determine the maximum funding availability under the RCF. The maximum funding availability is determined by calculating the net present value of the future contracted net cash after debt service of a defined portfolio of operational offshore units in the backlog. The maximum theoretical amount available under the RCF is then determined by dividing this net present value by 1.5. The actual availability under the RCF will be the lower of this amount and the then applicable Facility Amount. As at December 31, 2019 headroom on actual availability under the RCF exceeded US$0.5 billion.

For the purpose of covenants calculations, the following simplified definitions apply:

  • IFRS Tangible Net Worth: Total equity (including non-controlling interests) of the Company in accordance with IFRS, excluding the marked-to-market valuation of currency and interest derivatives undertaken for hedging purposes by the Company through other comprehensive income, dividends declared, value of intangible assets and deferred taxes.
  • Consolidated IFRS Tangible Assets: The Company total assets (excluding intangible assets) in accordance with the IFRS consolidated statement of financial position less the marked-to-market valuation of currency and interest derivatives undertaken for hedging purposes by the Company through other comprehensive income.
  • Consolidated Directional Underlying EBITDA: Consolidated profit of the Company adjusted for net interest payable, tax and depreciation of assets and impairments, any exceptional or extraordinary items, and by adding back (i) the annualized production EBITDA for units which started operations during the financial year, and (ii) the acquisition annualized EBITDA for units acquired during the financial year.
  • Consolidated Directional Net Interest Payable: All interest and other financing charges paid up, payable (other than capitalized interest during a construction period and interest paid or payable between wholly owned members of the Company) or incurred by the Company less all interest and other financing charges received or receivable by the Company, as per Directional reporting.
