Interest cost
Positive interest expenses of USD 13 million was due to a one-off, non-cash positive effect of fair value adjustment to interest bearing debts by USD 28.7 million, as follows;
- In November 2019, Prosafe has issued letters to lenders to reconsider the election of warrants with the conditional increase in the applicable margin. This is due to the accounting treatment of warrants which adversely affect the outstanding amount of the lender's book. Out of the 9,779,993 warrants issued in 2018, 6,344,011 of the warrants have been cancelled and replaced with the conditional increase of the applicable margin of the loan. The balance of warrants remaining is 3,435,982.
- As a consequence, to reflect the new net present value of the loan, an adjustment of USD 28.7 million is deducted from the carrying value of the loan and the same amount of financial costs is being recognised in the profit or loss in this quarter. The adjustment carried in the loan amount is mainly the effect from the changes in estimate of the following:
- the timing of the newbuild deliveries which will affect the drawdown timing of the USD 1,300 million facility and the interest rate margin applicable.
- the timing of future repayments of debt
- the cancellation of warrants under the revised term
- The adjustment in the loan amount will be amortized over the remaining loan periods.
