  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation and Principles Combination

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, equity, and cash flows of OneSpaWorld. All significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with reputable major financial institutions. Deposits with these banks exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions. While the Company monitors daily the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which the Company deposits funds fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to invested cash or cash equivalents; however, it can provide no assurance that access to invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets.

Restricted Cash

These balances include amounts held in escrow accounts, as a result of a legal proceeding related to a tax assessment. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, to the total amount presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows for years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

As of December 31,
20232022
Cash and cash equivalents$27,704$32,064
Restricted cash1,1981,198
Total cash and restricted cash in the consolidated statement of cash flows$28,902$33,262

Inventories

Inventories, consisting principally of personal care products, are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. All inventory balances are comprised of finished goods used in beauty and health and wellness services or held for resale for sale to customers. Inventory reserve is recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated market value. No inventory reserve was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded inventory impairment charges of $4.0 million (of which approximately $2.0 million was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2021) for the decline in the net realizable value of inventories, which is included in Cost of products in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. This impairment charge principally was the result of excess, slow-moving, expiration of products and damaged inventories held at our Maritime segment caused by the cessation of our cruise line partners operations and, consequently, our Maritime segment operations due to the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. The establishment of inventory reserves involved estimating the amount of inventories that would be sold at or used in health and wellness services on cruises when they returned to sailing, which was uncertain and dependent on our cruise line partners and its customers that use our services and purchase our products. There wasno incremental impairment during 2023 and 2022. The activity in the Company’s inventory reserve is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Year Ended December 31,
2023 · 2022 · 2021
Beginning balance$-$(5,870)$(6,000)
Impairment charges--(3,977)
Write-offs-5,8704,107
Ending balance$-$-$(5,870)

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not add to the value of the related assets or materially extend their original lives, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized in a straight-line basis over the shorter of the terms of the respective leases and the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other than Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, based on estimated future cash flows, that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (asset group). An asset group is the lowest level of assets and liabilities for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. When estimating future cash flows, the Company considers:

only the future cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset group;

potential events and changes in circumstance affecting key estimates and assumptions; and

the existing service potential of the asset (asset group) at the date tested.

If an asset (asset group) is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. When determining the fair value of the asset (asset group), the Company considers the highest and best use of the assets from a market-participant perspective. The fair value measurement is generally determined through the use of independent third-party appraisals or an expected present value technique, both of which may include a discounted cash flow approach, which reflects assumptions of what market participants would utilize to price the asset (asset group).

Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets to be abandoned, or from which no further benefit is expected, are written down to zero at the time that the determination is made, and the assets are removed entirely from service.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Trade name represents our Identifiable intangible asset not subject to amortization and is assessed for impairment annually each October or, more frequently, when events or circumstances dictate an interim test is necessary. The impairment assessment for trade name allows us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative trade name impairment test. We would perform the quantitative test if our qualitative assessment determined it was more-likely-than-not that the trade name is impaired. We may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test. The qualitative assessment evaluates factors including macro-economic conditions, industry and company-specific factors, and historical company performance in assessing fair value. Our trade name would be considered impaired if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes intangible assets with definite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Definite-Lived Intangible Assets include the contracts with cruise lines and leases with hotels and resorts. Contracts with cruise lines are generally renewed every five years. The Company has the intent and ability to renew such contracts over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs incurred to renew contracts are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenues and operating expenses over the term of the contract.

Lease agreements with destination resorts in which the Company operates are generally renewed everyten years. The Company has the intent and ability to renew such contracts, except for the two destination resort health and wellness centers for which we recognized a long-lived asset impairment loss. See Note 16 – “Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives ” for further details.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when customers obtain control of goods and services promised by the Company. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those respective goods and services. Amounts recognized are gross of commissions to cruise line or destination resort partners, which typically withhold commissions from customer payments. The Company has elected to present sales taxes on a net basis and, as such, sales taxes are excluded from revenue. Revenue is reported net of discounts and net of any estimated refund liability, which is determined based on historical experience. The Company also issues gift cards for future goods or services; revenue is recognized when they are redeemed; we also recognize revenue for breakage based on past experience for gift card amounts we expect to go unredeemed.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of services consists primarily of the cost of product consumed in the rendering of a service, an allocable portion of wages paid to shipboard employees, an allocable portion of payments to cruise lines (which are derived as a percentage of service revenues or a minimum annual rent or a combination of both), an allocable portion of staff-related shipboard expenses, costs related to recruitment and training of shipboard employees, wages paid directly to destination resort employees, payments to destination resort venue owners, and health and wellness facility depreciation.

Cost of products consists primarily of the cost of products sold through the Company’s various methods of distribution, an allocable portion of wages paid to shipboard employees, an allocable portion of payments to cruise lines (which are derived as a percentage of product revenues or a minimum annual rent or a combination of both), and an allocable portion of staff-related shipboard expenses.

Costs incurred to renew long-term contracts are capitalized and amortized to cost of services over the term of the contract.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized to inventories and relieved through cost of sales as inventories are sold. Shipping and handling costs associated with the delivery of products are included in administrative expenses. The shipping and handling costs included in administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.04 million, respectively.

Advertising

Substantiallyall of the Company’s advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred, except costs that result in tangible assets, such as brochures, which are recorded as prepaid expenses and charged to expense as consumed. Advertising expenses included in cost of revenuesin the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $3.8 million, $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for our share-based compensation awards using a fair-value-based method. Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for awards that are based on a service period and not contingent upon any future performance. Share-based compensation expense is included within salary, benefits and payroll taxes expense in the consolidated statements of operations. We elected to treat shared-based awards with only service conditions and graded vesting features as a single award and recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis. Share-based awards with performance and graded vesting features are expensed using the accelerated attribution method. We recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them over the life of the award. See Note 10 – “Stock Based Compensation” for further details.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. These deferred issuance costs are amortized over the term of the loan agreement. The amortization of deferred financing fees is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrant Liabilities

We account for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable guidance provide in ASC Topic 815 as either liability or equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. We evaluated the warrants under this guidance and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ equity in all periods presented. Accordingly, the warrants are classified as a liability at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The change in the fair value of such liability in each period is recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income .

Income Taxes

As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating the Company’s actual current income tax exposure together with an assessment of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax purposes and accounting purposes, respectively. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities which are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Deferred taxes are recorded using the currently enacted tax rates that applied in the periods that the differences are expected to reverse. The Company must then assess the likelihood that its deferred income tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent that the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. With respect to acquired deferred tax assets, changes within the measurement period, under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, that result from new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date shall be recognized through a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Subsequent to the measurement period, all other changes shall be reported as a reduction or increase to income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The Company believes a large percentage of its shipboard service’s income is foreign-source income, not effectively connected to a business it conducts in the U.S. and, therefore, not subject to U.S. income taxation.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued, therefore, will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

As discussed in Note 9 – “Equity”, the Company has two classes of common stock, Voting and Non-Voting. Shares of Non-Voting common stock are in all respects identical to and treated equally with shares of Voting common stock except for the absence of voting rights. Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income adjusted for the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, if the impact is dilutive, by the weighted average number of diluted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, which includes the potential effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants to purchase common shares, and contingently issuable shares. If the entity reports a net loss, rather than net income for the period, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has not presented (loss) income per share under the two-class method, because the (loss) income per share are the same for both Voting and Non-Voting common stock since they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights.

The following table provides details underlying OneSpaWorld’s (loss) income per basic and diluted share calculation (in thousands, except per share data):

(a)During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2021, potential common shares under the treasury stock method were antidilutive because the Company reported a net loss in this period and the effect of the change in the fair value of warrants was antidilutive. Consequently, the Company did not have any adjustments in this period between basic and diluted loss per share related to stock options, warrants, deferred shares and restricted stock.

The table below presents the number of antidilutive potential common shares that are not considered in the calculation of diluted (loss) income per share (in thousands):

Foreign Currency Transactions

For currency exchange rate purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity and other items are translated at historical rates, and income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income caption of the Company’s balance sheets. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, including intercompany transactions, are included in results of operations. The transaction gains (losses) included in the administrative expenses caption of the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $0.04 million, $(0.3) million and $(0.2) million, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy.

The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1—Value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2—Value is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. This includes dealer and broker quotations, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3—Value is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assessment of net realizable value of inventories, the recovery of long-lived assets and other intangible assets, the determination of deferred income taxes including valuation allowances, the useful lives of definite-lived intangible assets, the fair value of warrants, contingencies and property and equipment.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company hadtwo cruise companies that represented greater than 10% of accounts receivable. The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support normal credit sales. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company records an allowance for credit losses with respect to accounts receivable using historical collection experience, current and forecasted business conditions and generally, an account receivable balance is written off once it is determined to be uncollectible. Our expected credit losses are based on historical collection experience, current and forecasted business conditions and other facts and circumstances. The allowance for credit losses was $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021, allowance for credit losses expense amounted to $0.06, $0.02 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Allowance for credit losses expense is included within administrative operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326).” This ASU amends the FASB’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on an expected losses model rather than an incurred losses model. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The ASU is also intended to reduce the complexity of U.S. GAAP by decreasing the number of impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance (ASU 2019-10) that defers the effective dates of the Financial Instruments—Credit Losses standard for entities that have not yet issued financial statements adopting the standard. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. On implementation in 2023, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides practical expedients and exception for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope in January 2021, which adds implementation guidance to clarify which optional expedients in Topic 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued, but that are being modified as a result of the discounting transition. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, which extended the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. On April 5, 2023, the Company amended its First Lien Credit Facilities (as defined in Note 7, “Debt”), where the interest rate benchmark was updated from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a result of the expected cessation of LIBOR. In June 2023, the Company amended its interest rate swap agreement to implement certain changes in the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR (See Note 15). In connection with the amendment of our First Lien Credit Facilities and debt interest rate swap agreement, we elected to apply the optional expedients in Topic 848 to (i) assert that the hedged interest payments remain probable regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform, and (ii) continue the method of assessing effectiveness as documented in the original hedge documentation so that the reference rate on the hypothetical derivative matches the reference rate on the hedging instrument. The application of these expedients preserves the cash flow hedge designation of the interest rate swap and presentation consistent with past presentation and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. The following summary of recent accounting pronouncements is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the respective pronouncement.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires, among other things, the following: (i) enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included in a segment's reported measure of profit or loss; (ii) disclosure of the amount and description of the composition of other segment items, as defined in ASU 2023-07, by reportable segment; and (iii) reporting the disclosures about each reportable segment's profit or loss and assets on an annual and interim basis. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the expected impact of the future adoption of this guidance.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires, among other things, the following for public business entities: (i) enhanced disclosures of specific categories of reconciling items included in the rate reconciliation, as well as additional information for any of these items meeting certain qualitative and quantitative thresholds; (ii) disclosure of the nature, effect and underlying causes of each individual reconciling item disclosed in the rate reconciliation and the judgment used in categorizing them if not otherwise evident; and (iii) enhanced disclosures for income taxes paid, which includes federal, state, and foreign taxes, as well as for individual jurisdictions over a certain quantitative threshold. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 eliminate the requirement to disclose the nature and estimate of the range of the reasonably possible change in unrecognized tax benefits for the 12 months after the balance sheet date. The provisions of ASU

2023-09 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the expected impact of the future adoption of this guidance.

  1. Leases

Nature of Leases

We have operating leases related to the destination resort agreements, office space and certain equipment. There are certain immaterial finance equipment leases recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Certain of our leases include both lease and non-lease components. We have adopted the practical expedient which allows us to combine lease and non-lease components by class of asset. We have entered into a sublease agreement for certain leased office space; however, the sublease income from this agreement is immaterial.

Significant Assumptions and Judgments in Applying leases (Topic 842)

The Company has entered into agreements of varying terms with the cruise lines under which services and products are paid for by cruise passengers. These agreements provide for the Company to pay the cruise line commissions for use of their shipboard facilities, as well as fees for staff shipboard meals and accommodation. These commissions are generally based on a percentage of revenue for most of the agreements, and a minimum annual amount, or a combination of both for certain agreements. We believe that these agreements did not contain a lease since we concluded that we do not have the right to direct how and for what purpose the spa and fitness facilities, or related equipment is used.

Most of our destination resort health and wellness centers generally require rent based on a percentage of revenues, with some locations having escalating percentages at different revenue amounts. In addition, as part of the rental arrangements for some of the destination resort health and wellness centers, the Company is required to pay a minimum annual rental regardless of whether such amount would be required to be paid under the percentage rent arrangement. Fixed or minimum payments and variable lease payments that depend on a rate or index are included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset. Other variable payments are excluded from the calculation and are recognized in the period in which the obligations for those payments is incurred.

Certain leases include renewal options ranging from three tofive years. The renewal options are included in the lease term only for those leases in which they are reasonably certain to be renewed.

As our leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, we used our weighted average cost of debt to determine the net present value of the lease payments at the adoption date. Our weighted average cost of debt is similar to the incremental borrowing rate we would have obtained if we had borrowed collateralized debt over the lease term to purchase the asset.

We have adopted the practical expedient to exclude leases with terms of less than one year from being included on the balance sheet. Lease expense for agreements that are short-term were immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 2- "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", for further information on the adoption of ASC 842.

On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into (i) senior secured first lien credit facilities (the “First Lien Credit Facilities”) with Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as administrative agent, and certain lenders, consisting of (x) a term loan facility of $208.5 million (of which $20 million was borrowed by a subsidiary of the Company) (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”), (y) a revolving loan facility of up to $20 million (the “First Lien Revolving Facility”) and (z) a delayed draw term loan facility of $5 million (the “First Lien Delayed Draw Facility”), and (ii) a senior secured second lien term loan facility of $25 million with Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent, and Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds, Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund, as lender. (the “Second Lien Term Loan Facility” and, together with the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”; the New Term Loan Facilities, together with the First Lien Revolving Facility and the First Lien Delayed Draw Facility, are referred to as the “New Credit Facilities”). The First Lien Revolving Facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit up to $5 million. Any issuance of letters of credit reduces the amount available under the New First Lien Revolving Facility. The First Lien Term Loan Facility matures seven years after March 19, 2019, the First Lien Revolving Facility matures five years after March 19, 2019 and the Second Lien Term Loan Facility matures eight years after March 19, 2019.

On April 5, 2023, we entered into amendment No 2 to the First Lien Credit Facilities, which replaced the LIBOR-based rate of interest therein with an adjusted SOFR-based rate of interest. As amended, loans outstanding under the First Lien Credit Facilities will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin of 4.00%, with one step down to 3.75% upon achievement of a certain leverage ratio, and undrawn amounts under the First Lien Revolving Facility will accrue a commitment fee at a rate per annum of 0.50% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments thereunder, with one step down to 0.325% upon achievement of a certain leverage ratio. Loans outstanding under the Second Lien Term Loan Facility accrued interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 7.50%.

The obligations under the New Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and each of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries organized under the laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, in each case, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, immaterial subsidiaries, non-profit subsidiaries, and any other subsidiary with respect to which the burden or cost of providing a guarantee is excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the lenders therefrom. In addition, under the New Credit Facilities, certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries have granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their assets.

The Term Loan Facilities require the Company to make certain mandatory prepayments, with (i)100% of net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property, subject to the ability to reinvest such proceeds and certain other exceptions, and subject to step downs if certain leverage ratios are met and (ii)100% of the net cash proceeds of any debt incurrence, other than debt permitted under the definitive agreements (but excluding debt incurred to refinance the New Credit Facilities). The Company also is required to make quarterly amortization payments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan Facility commencing after the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date of the New Credit Facilities (subject to reductions by optional and mandatory prepayments of the loans). The Company may prepay all or any portion of (i) the First Lien Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, subject to a one-time deleveraging payment fee (as defined by our Debt agreement), payment of customary breakage costs and a customary “soft call,” and (ii) the Second Lien Term Loan Facility at any time without premium or penalty, subject to a customary make-whole premium for any voluntary prepayment prior to the date that is 30 months following the closing date of the New Credit Facilities (the “Callable Date”), following by a call premium of (x)4.00% on or prior to the first anniversary of the Callable Date, (y)2.50% after the first anniversary but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Callable Date, and (z)1.50% after the second anniversary but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Callable Date. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we prepaid principal amounts of $5 million of our First Lien Term Loan Facility. During the third quarter of 2022, we repaid $7 million on the First Lien Revolving Facility. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we prepaid principal amounts of $10 million of our Second Lien Term Loan Facility. During 2023, we repaid principal amounts of $41 million of our First Lien Credit Facilities. During the first and second quarter of 2023, we repaid the remaining principal amount of $15 million of our Second Lien Term Loan Facility. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023, our Second Lien Term Loan Facility has been fully repaid and terminated.

Under our First Lien Term Facility agreement, our lower net debt leverage ratio at December 31, 2023 required us to pay our lenders a one-time $5.4 million deleveraging payment fee. This amount is included in interest expense in 2023 and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2023.

The New Credit Facilities contain a financial covenant related to the maintenance of a leverage ratio and a number of customary negative covenants including covenants related to the following subjects: consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets; limitations on the incurrence of certain liens; limitations on certain indebtedness; limitations on the ability to pay dividends; and certain affiliate transactions. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the company was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the New Credit Facilities.

If we do not comply with these covenants, we would have to seek amendments to these covenants from our lenders or evaluate the options to cure the defaults contained in the credit agreements. However, no assurances can be made that such amendments would be approved by our lenders. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the New Credit Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the New Credit Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor, subject to customary intercreditor provisions among the first and second lien secured parties, which would have a material adverse impact to our operations and liquidity.

  1. Warrant Liabilities

Public Warrants

Each whole Public Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock and only whole warrants are exercisable. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of OneSpaWorld common stock at an exercise price of $11.50.

Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of OneSpaWorld common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless the holder purchases at least two units, the holder will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire on March 19, 2024 and no longer exercisable or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company filed with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of OneSpaWorld common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. This registration statement has since been declared effective by the SEC. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

in whole and not in part;

at a price of $0.01 per warrant;

upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Between March 13 and March 15, 2023, the Company entered into separate privately negotiated warrant exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of its Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants (as defined below) to exchange for an aggregate number of the Company’s common shares. On April 26, 2023, the Company closed the exchange of the Public Warrants, and holders of Public Warrants exchanged 15,286,824 Public Warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.2047 Common Shares per Public Warrant for an aggregate of 3,129,200 Common Shares. The exchange ratio was determined pursuant to the Exchange Agreements and was based on the 30-day VWAP of Common Shares, ending on April 24, 2023. As a result of the closing of the above-described transactions, the Company exchanged an aggregate of approximately 95% of the outstanding Public Warrants

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022,841,414 and 16,145,279, respectively, Public Warrants were issued and outstanding. We evaluated the Public Warrants under ASC Topic 815 and concluded that upon issuance of the Non-Voting Common Shares on June 12, 2020 they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are classified as a liability at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022 (See “Note 2”).

Sponsor Warrants

On October 19, 2017, Haymaker issued 8,000,000 Sponsor Warrants to purchase its common stock in a private placement concurrently with its IPO. In connection with the Business Combination Haymaker transferred 3,105,294 Sponsor Warrants (the “2019 PIPE Warrants”) in private placements to certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) and to SLL. Each whole 2019 PIPE Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of OneSpaWorld common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the purchase of the 2019 PIPE Warrants were used to fund a portion of the cash payment payable in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The 2019 PIPE Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Investors or their permitted transferees.

The 2019 PIPE Warrants (including the OneSpaWorld common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2019 PIPE Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the Business Combination and they will not be redeemable so long as they are held by the Investors or their permitted transferees. Otherwise, the 2019 PIPE Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the 2019 PIPE Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the 2019 PIPE Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis the Public Warrants. If holders of the 2019 PIPE Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of OneSpaWorld common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of OneSpaWorld common stock underlying the 2019 PIPE Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The warrants will expire and no longer exercisable on March 19, 2024.

Between March 13 and March 15, 2023, the Company entered into separate privately negotiated Exchange Agreements with certain holders of its Sponsor Warrants to exchange for the Company’s common shares: (i)3,055,906 Sponsor Warrants from certain affiliates and (ii)928,003 Sponsor Warrants from certain non-affiliates. On April 25, 2023, the Company closed the exchange of the Sponsor Warrants. Certain directors and affiliates of the Company exchanged 3,055,906 Sponsor Warrants at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.175 Common Shares per Sponsor Warrant for an aggregate of 534,780 Common Shares, and non-affiliated holders of Sponsor Warrants exchanged 928,003 Sponsor Warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.2047 Common Shares per Sponsor Warrant for an aggregate of 189,958 Common Shares. The exchange ratio was determined pursuant to the Exchange Agreements and was based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of Common Shares, ending on April 24, 2023. The Company exchanged an aggregate of approximately 50% of the outstanding Sponsor Warrants.

Immediately prior to the exchanges, the Public and Sponsor Warrants exchanged were remeasured to fair value, resulting on a loss of $15.5 million in "Change in fair value of warrant liabilities" on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and a warrant liability of $45.3 million, which was then reclassified to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022,3,823,847 and 8,000,000, respectively, Sponsor Warrants were issued and outstanding. We evaluated the Sponsor Warrants, including the 2019 PIPE Warrants under ASC Topic 815, and concluded that upon issuance on March 19, 2019 they do not meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, the Sponsor Warrants are classified as a liability at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022 (See “Note 2”).

2020 PIPE Warrants

The 2020 PIPE Warrants will expire on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the 2020 Private Placement or (ii) the Redemption Date (as defined below). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchaseone share of OneSpaWorld common stock at an exercise price of $5.75. The 2020 PIPE Warrants may be exercised on a “cashless” basis, in accordance with a specified formula. In addition, the Company may, at any time prior to their expiration, elect to redeem not less than all of such then-outstanding 2020 PIPE Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last sales price of the common shares reported has been at least $14.50 per share (subject to adjustment in accordance with certain specified events), on each of twenty trading days within the thirty-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given (the “Redemption Date”), and provided that the common shares issuable upon exercise of such 2020 PIPE Warrants have been registered, qualified or are exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the 2020 PIPE Warrant.

On May 16, 2023, certain holders of the 2020 PIPE warrants elected to exercise 4,104,999 warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the agreement governing the warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.53, in exchange for which the Company issued 2,122,951 of non-voting common shares and 53,008 of voting common shares, respectively. Immediately prior to the exercise, the 2020 PIPE Warrants exercised were remeasured to fair value, resulting on a gain of $3.8 million in "Change in fair value of warrant liabilities" on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and a warrant liability of $23.9 million, which was then reclassified to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. In July 2023, certain holder of the 2020 PIPE warrants elected to exercise 63,334 warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the agreement governing the warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.49, in exchange for which the Company issued 31,319 of voting common shares.

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022,828,334 and 5,000,000 2020 PIPE Warrants were issued and outstanding. We evaluated the 2020 PIPE Warrant Warrants under ASC Topic 815 and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, the 2020 PIPE Warrants are classified as a liability at fair value upon issuance on June 12, 2020 and subsequently (See “Note 2”).

  1. Equity

Common Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement discussed below, we have amended our Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) and created a new class of Non-Voting Common Shares, par value $0.0001 per share. Of the authorized shares 225,000,000 are “Voting Common Shares” and 25,000,000 are “Non-Voting Common Shares.” The Non-Voting Common Shares are of equal rank to the Voting Common Shares, in terms of dividends, liquidation, preferences and all other rights and features, with the following exceptions: (i) the Non-Voting Common Shares have no voting rights, except as may be required by law; (ii) Steiner Leisure Limited (“Steiner Leisure”) may vote its Non-Voting Common Shares in favor of its director designees; and (iii) the Non-Voting Common Shares will automatically be converted to Voting Common Shares upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Articles. Holders of the Company’s voting common stock are entitled toone vote for each share. At December 31, 2023, there were 99,734,672 voting shares andzero non-voting shares of OneSpaWorld common stock issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2022, there were 79,544,055 voting shares and 13,421,914 non-voting shares of OneSpaWorld common stock issued and outstanding.

Conversion of Non-Voting Common Shares to Voting Common Shares

Automatic Conversion

Each Non-Voting Common Share will automatically convert intoone Voting Common Share, upon the occurrence of a Qualified Transfer of such Non-Voting Common Share or with the prior consent of our Board. A “Qualified Transfer” means a transfer (x) to a third party that is not (1) an affiliate of such holder nor (2) a person whose ownership thereof would result in such shares being treated as constructively owned by such holder under Section 958(b) of the U.S. Tax Code, applicable Treasury Regulations and other official guidance (a Person described in this clause (x), an “Unrelated Person”), and (y) that is not otherwise prohibited under the Articles. During the year ended December 31, 2021,3.8 million Non-Voting Common Shares were converted into Voting Common Shares as a result of a Qualified Transfer.

Elective Conversion

Upon the occurrence of a Contingent Conversion Triggering Event (as defined below), a number of Non-Voting Common Shares as elected will be converted into an identical number of Voting Common Shares; provided, that the number of Non-Voting Common Shares so converted may not exceed the number of Non-Voting Common Shares that, if converted, would reasonably be expected to (1) cause the Company to become a “CFC” (as defined in the Articles) as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company, upon the advice of its legal counsel, or (2) cause such holder, together with its affiliates, to hold voting power exceeding 44.9%(as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company). A “Contingent Conversion Triggering Event” shall mean (1) a decrease in the numberof directors that the applicable holder has the right to designate for appointment or nomination or a decrease in the number of directors so designated by the applicable holder as a result of an irrevocable waiver of such rights, (2) the transfer of Voting Common Shares by certain holders that participated in the 2020 Private Placement or any of their affiliates on or prior to the one year anniversary of the closing of the 2020 Private Placement (I) to an “Unrelated Person” (as defined in the Articles), and (II) that is not prohibited under the Articles, or (3) the exercise by a the holder or its affiliates of a warrant to purchase Non-Voting Common Shares (or a warrant for which such holder or such affiliate has previously agreed to receive Non- Voting Common Shares upon exercise); provided that, with respect to clause (3), the number of shares designated for conversion shall not exceed the number of Non-Voting Common Shares received upon exercise of such warrant. Each Non-Voting Common Share that is converted into a Voting Common Share shall be canceled by the Company and shall not be available for reissuance.

In May 2023, Steiner Leisure Limited sold an aggregate of 10,320,000 shares of our common stock in a registered, underwritten public offering (the “May 2023 Secondary Offering”). Of the total shares of common stock sold by Steiner Leisure Limited in the May 2023 Secondary Offering,3,034,104 shares of common stock were shares of non-voting common stock that were automatically converted into shares of voting common stock on aone-for-one basis upon the closing of the transaction. Following the closing of the May 2023 Secondary Offering, Steiner Leisure Limited exercised its right to convert its remaining 12,510,760 shares of non-voting common stock (including 2,122,950 shares of non-voting common stock previously issued to Steiner Leisure Limited in connection with the exercise of its 2020 PIPE Warrants to purchase common stock in May 2023) into shares of voting common stock on aone-for-one basis pursuant to the terms of our Third Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association.

Governance Agreement

In connection with a private placement transaction that occurred on June 12, 2020 (the "2020 Private Placement"), the Company, Steiner Leisure and, solely for the purpose of Section 18 thereof, Haymaker, entered into a Governance Agreement (the “Governance Agreement”), pursuant to which, Steiner Leisure and certain of its affiliates were granted certain consent, director designation, and other rights with respect to the Company. The Governance Agreement superseded the Director Designation Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2018, by and among the Company, Steiner Leisure and Haymaker. Under the terms of the Governance Agreement, among other things, Steiner Leisure has the right to designate and appoint two directors so long as Steiner Leisure and its affiliates own at least 15% of the issued and outstanding common shares and one director so long as Steiner Leisure and its affiliates own at least 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Although Steiner Leisure owns less than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the date of this annual report, two directors originally nominated by Steiner Leisure continue to serve on our Board. The continued service by these two directors has been approved by our Board.

At-The-Market Equity Offering

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 2.6 million shares under our at-The-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Agreement”) for net proceeds of $27.5 million, after offering-related expenses paid of $0.9 million. On August 1, 2022, the Company exercised its right to terminate the Agreement entered into on December 7, 2020 with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company had the right to offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agent, its common shares, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the “ATM Program”). Prior to the termination of the Agreement, the Company sold a total of 3.9 million common shares through the ATM Program and shares representing approximately $10 million remained available for sale under the Agreement. No sales of common shares by the Company under the ATM Program have occurred subsequent to October 2021.

Repurchase Agreement

The Repurchase closed on December 4, 2023. We returned those shares to the status of authorized but unissued. We allocated the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of the shares acquired between additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

  1. Stock-Based Compensation

2019 Equity Incentive Plan and Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s Board and shareholders approved the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) on March 18, 2019. The purpose of the 2019 Plan is to make available incentives that will assist the Company to attract, retain, and motivate employees, including officers, consultants and directors. The Company may provide these incentives through the grant of share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares and units and other cash-based or share-based awards. The Equity Plan provides participants an option to defer compensation on a tax-deferred basis. Awards may be granted under the 2019 Plan to OneSpaWorld employees, including officers, directors or consultants or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. A total of 7,000,000 OneSpaWorld Shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan.

Stock Based Compensation Cost

Stock based compensation cost, which is included as a component of salary, benefits and payroll taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $10.1 million, $12.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $12.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units and performance stock units.

Restricted Share Units

The Company’s restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been issued to employees and directors with vesting periods ranging fromone year tothree years and vest based solely on service conditions. RSUs become unrestricted common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. The cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period.

The following is a summary of RSUs activity for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated based on the fair value of $14.10, $9.33 and $10.02 per share of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2022, respectively, due to the fact that the performance stock units carry a $0 exercise price.

The total fair value of RSUs that vested in 2023, 2022 and 2021, based on the market price of the underlying shares on that day of vesting, was $11.1 million, $8.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $7.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock award grants, which will be recognized over the weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.

Performance Share Units

The Company grants certain executive officers and senior-level employees performance share units that generally vest based on either performance and time-based service condition (“Performance Condition-Based Awards”) or market and time-based service conditions (“Market Condition-Based Awards”) which are referred to herein as Performance Share Units (“PSUs”). The number of shares of common stock underlying each award is determined at the end of the performance period. In order to vest, the employee must be employed by the Company, with certain contractual exclusions, at the end of the performance period.

Performance Condition-Based Awards

PSUs are converted into shares of common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. The Company estimates the fair value of each performance share when the grant is authorized, and the related service period has commenced. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period based on the probability of the performance conditions being achieved. If the specified service and performance conditions are not met, compensation expense is not recognized, and any previously recognized compensation expense will be reversed. As of December 31, 2023, we determined that the performance measures for the outstanding PSUs were probable.

Market Condition-Based Awards

The Company estimates the fair value of each PSUs when the grant is authorized, and the related service period has commenced. Expense for these PSUs is recorded over the derived service period.

PSUs Activity

  1. Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue generating activities include the following:

Service Revenues

Service revenues consist primarily of sales of health, wellness and beauty services, including a full range of massage treatments, facial treatments, nutritional/weight management consultations, teeth whitening, mindfulness services and medi-spa services to cruise ship passengers and destination resort guests. Each service or consultation represents a separate performance obligation and revenues are generally recognized immediately upon the completion of our service. Given the short duration of our performance obligation, although some services are recognized over time, there is no material difference in the timing of recognition across reporting periods.

Product Revenues

Product revenues consist primarily of sales of health and wellness products, such as facial skincare, body care, hair care, orthotics and nutritional supplements to cruise ship passengers, destination resort guests andtimetospa.comcustomers. Our Shop & Ship program provides guests the ability to buy retail products onboard and have products shipped directly to their home. Each product unit represents a separate performance obligation. Our performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, which occurs either at the point of sale for retail sales and at the time of shipping for Shop & Ship andtimetospa.com product sales. The Company provides no warranty on products sold. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in net sales.

Gift Cards

The Company only offers no-fee, non-expiring gift cards to its customers. At the time gift cards are sold, no revenue is recognized; rather, the Company records a contract liability to customers. The liability is relieved, and revenue is recognized equal to the amount redeemed at the time gift cards are redeemed for products or services. The Company records revenue from an estimate of unredeemed gift cards (breakage) in net sales on a pro-rata basis over the time period gift cards are redeemed. At least three years of historical data, updated annually, is used to determine actual redemption patterns. The liability for unredeemed gift cards is included in “Other current liabilities” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and was not material as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Customer Loyalty Rewards Program

The Company initiated a customer loyalty program during October 2019 in which customers earn points based on their spending ontimetospa.com. The Company recognizes the estimated net amount of the rewards that will be earned and redeemed as a reduction to net sales at the time of the initial transaction and as tender when the points are subsequently redeemed by a customer. The liability for customer loyalty programs was not material as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Contract Balances

Receivables from the Company’s contracts with customers are included within accounts receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts are typically remitted to us by our cruise line or destination resort partners, except for online sales, and are net of commissions they withhold. Although paid by our cruise line partners, customers are typically required to pay with major credit cards, reducing our credit risk to individual customers. Amounts are billed immediately, and our cruise line and destination resort partners typically remit payments to us within 30 days. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our receivables from contracts with customers were $40.8 million, $33.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively and the increase as of December 31, 2022 when compared to December 31, 2021 reflects the impact of increased revenues due to our ongoing resumption of our spa operations.

Costs incurred to enter into new or to renew long-term contracts are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenues over the term of the contract. Deferred contract costs, which relate to fees accrued to cruise line partners, amounted to $2.6 million and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is presented within other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of the deferred contract cost was $1.0 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization of deferred costs are included in cost of services in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Our contract liabilities for gift cards and customer loyalty programs are described above.

Disaggregation of Revenue and Segment Reporting

The Company operates facilities on cruise ships and in destination resorts, where we provide health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and sell related products. The Company also sells health and wellness, fitness and beauty related products through itstimetospa.com website which is a post-cruise sales tool where guests may continue their wellness journey after disembarking. The

Company’s Maritime and Destination Resorts operating segments are aggregated into a single reportable segment based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. Additionally, the Company’s operating segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief executive officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), in determining how to allocate the Company’s resources and evaluate performance.

These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. The tax years 2018-2022 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world in major jurisdictions, such as the U.S. and Italy.

  1. Commitment and Contingencies

Cruise Line Agreements

A large portion of the Company’s revenues are generated on cruise ships. The Company has entered into agreements of varying terms with the cruise lines under which services and products are paid for by cruise passengers. These agreements provide for the Company to pay the cruise line commissions for use of their shipboard facilities, as well as fees for staff shipboard meals and accommodations. These commissions are based on a percentage of revenue, a minimum annual amount, or a combination of both. Some of the minimum commissions are calculated as a flat dollar amount while others are based upon minimum passenger per diems for passengers actually embarked on each cruise of the respective vessel. Staff shipboard meals and accommodations are charged by the cruise lines on a per staff per day basis. The Company recognizes all expenses related to cruise line commissions, minimum guarantees, and staff shipboard meals and accommodations, generally, as they are incurred and includes such expenses in cost of revenues and operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For cruises in process at period end, an accrual is made to record such expenses in a manner that approximates a pro-rata basis. In addition, staff-related expenses such as shipboard employee commissions are recognized in the same manner.

Pursuant to agreements that provide for minimum commissions, the Company guaranteed total minimum payments to cruise line (excluding payments based on minimum amounts per passenger per day of a cruise applicable to certain ships served by us). Following are the minimum payments guarantee amounts to be paid in the year indicated based on the agreements in effect as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

YearAmount
2024$143,489

The total minimum payment guarantee amounts referenced in the above calculation does not take into account canceled cruise voyages. Such canceled voyages would not be subject to guaranteed minimum payments to the cruise line.

Revenues from passengers of each of the following cruise line companies accounted for more than ten percent of the Company’s total revenues in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively: Carnival (including Carnival, Carnival Australia, Costa, Holland America, P&O, Princess and Seabourn cruise lines):41.1%,41.0% and 36.7%; Royal Caribbean (including Royal Caribbean, Pullmantur, Celebrity, Azamara and Silversea cruise lines):27.9%,28.0% and 22.8%; and Norwegian Cruise Line (including Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises)16.4%,15.6.% and 11.4%.

Litigation

We are routinely involved in legal proceedings, disputes, regulatory matters, and various claims and lawsuits that have been filed or are pending against us, including as noted below, arising in the ordinary course of our business. Most of these claims and lawsuits are covered by insurance and, accordingly, the maximum amount of our liability is typically limited to our deductible amount. Nonetheless, the ultimate outcome of those claims and lawsuits that are not covered by insurance cannot be determined at this time. We have evaluated our overall exposure with respect to all of our legal proceedings, threatened and pending litigation and, to the extent required, we have accrued amounts for all estimable probable losses associated with our deemed exposure. We are currently unable to estimate any other potential contingent losses beyond those accrued, as discovery is not complete and adequate information is not available to estimate such range of loss or potential recovery. However, based on our current knowledge, we do not believe that the aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses with respect to these matters will be material to our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We intend to vigorously defend our legal position on all claims and, to the extent necessary, seek recovery.

In February 2020, the Company received a formal assessment of $1.9 million by a foreign tax authority over how the value added tax (“VAT”) law was applied on the change in the ultimate beneficial ownership ofone of our subsidiaries as result of the business combination in March 2019. The Company is disputing the assessment and recorded an accrual of $1.2 million for this matter during the year ended December 31, 2020 and is included in “Accrued expenses” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company believes the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Derivatives

Market risk associated with the Company’s long-term floating rate debt is the potential increase in interest expense from an increase in interest rates. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. These instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value and are designated as hedges. The financial impact of these hedging instruments is primarily offset by corresponding changes in the underlying exposures being hedged.

The Company assesses whether derivatives used in hedging transactions are “highly effective” in offsetting changes in the cash flow of its hedged forecasted transactions. The Company uses regression analysis for this hedge relationship and high effectiveness is achieved when a statistically valid relationship reflects a high degree of offset and correlation between the fair values of the derivative and the hedged forecasted transaction. Cash flows from the derivatives are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged transaction. These agreements involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the respective agreement without an exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company classifies derivative instrument cash flows from hedges of benchmark interest rate as operating activities due to the nature of the hedged item. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. If it is determined that the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, then the amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is released to earnings.

The Company monitors concentrations of credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which the Company conducts significant business. Credit risk, including, but not limited to, counterparty nonperformance under derivatives, is not considered significant, as the Company primarily conducts business with large, well-established financial institutions with which the Company has established relationships, and which have credit risks acceptable to the Company. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by its counterparty. The amount of the Company’s credit risk exposure is equal to the fair value of the derivative when any of the derivatives are in a net gain position.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to make a series of payments based on a fixed interest rate of 1.457% and receive a series of payments based on the greater of 1 Month USD LIBOR or Strike which is used to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in cash flows associated with its variable rate Term Loan Facilities and has designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge. Both the fixed and floating payment streams are based on a notional amount of $174.7 million at the inception of the contract. In June 2023, the interest rate swap agreement was amended to replace the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR, to be consistent with the amended First Lien Credit Facilities.

The interest rate swap agreement has a maturity date of September 19, 2024. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the notional amount is $95.4 million and $101.0 million, respectively. There was no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps. The gain or loss on the derivative is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company expects to reclassify $2.4 million of income from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into interest expense within the next twelve months.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contract is measured on a recurring basis by netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The interest rate swap contract was categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company is not required to post cash collateral related to this derivative instrument.

The effect of the interest rate swap contract designated as cash flows hedging instrument on the consolidated financial statements was as follows (in thousands):

Nonfinancial Instruments that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

Duringthe year ended December 31, 2023, the forecasted operating results of two destination resort health and wellness centers caused us to evaluate the carrying value of the affected destination resort health and wellness centers for impairment. One of the forecasted operating results, pertain to the expected closure in 2024 of a resort health and wellness center due to the expected demolitionof the hotel where the health and wellness center is located. We estimated the fair value of the related assets using discounted cash flow analyses and Level 3 valuation inputs including growth rates, a royalty rate and discount rates that reflected the risk profile of the underlying cash flows where the assets are located. Estimations of the growth rates approximated zero or negative percent and the discount rates ranged from 12.5 percent to 13.5 percent. As a result of these non-recurring fair value measurements, we recognized a long-lived asset impairment loss of $2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 which is reported in the long-lived assets impairment line item of the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. See “Note 3” – “Property and Equipment, and “Note 4” – “Intangible Assets” for further detail.
