  • Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.2 million to $10.4 million
  • Lindblad segment Available Guest Nights increased 4%

  • Bookings to date for future travel increased 17% vs the same period in 2023 and in-year bookings expanded to 6% over the same point in 2023 and over 29% excluding carryover bookings
  • Announced an agreement for the acquisition of two vessels to expand core Galápagos market
  • Further expanded land-based portfolio with the closing of the acquisition of Wineland-Thompson Adventures

NEW YORK, Aug. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIND; the "Company" or "Lindblad"), a global provider of expedition cruises and adventure travel experiences, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.

Sven Lindblad, Chief Executive Officer, said "We continued our growth trajectory this quarter with a 9% increase in revenue, demonstrating that more and more people are keen to explore the less traveled destinations and appreciate our dedication to providing our guests unique and valuable travel experiences.

We are focused on maximizing the value of our fleet, by continually increasing occupancy and yield, while also implementing initial phases of efficiency improvement in our operations across the company. We continue to be disciplined in our capital allocation as we seek to reduce our leverage. To further our continued growth efforts, we expanded our portfolio of successful land companies with the acquisition of Thomson Safaris, and a commitment to acquire two more ships in our core Galapagos market. This was a rare opportunity to expand our fleet in the limited license Galapagos environment while at the same time eliminating two ships that competed with us."

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Tour Revenues

Second quarter tour revenues of $136.5 million increased $11.7 million, or 9%, as compared to the same period in 2023. The increase was driven by a $5.6 million increase at the Lindblad segment and a $6.1 million increase at the Land Experiences segment.

Lindblad segment tour revenues of $93.1 million increased $5.6 million, or 6%, compared to the second quarter a year ago. The increase was driven by a 4% increase in available guest nights due to greater fleet utilization, a 6% increase in net yield per available guest night to $1,094 due to higher pricing and an increase in occupancy to 78% from 74% as compared to the second quarter a year ago.

Land Experiences tour revenues of $43.4 million increased $6.1 million, or 16%, compared to the second quarter a year ago primarily due to an increase in guests traveled and higher pricing.

Net Income

Net loss available to stockholders for the second quarter was $25.8 million, $0.48 per diluted share, as compared with net loss available to stockholders of $25.6 million, $0.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2023. The $0.3 million decrease is due to the $3.9 million write off in deferred financing fees in the second quarter a year ago due to refinancing the Company's export credit facilities which was more than offset by $4.4 million increase in tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $10.4 million increased $4.2 million as compared to the same period in 2023 driven by a $3.9 million increase at the Lindblad segment and a $0.3 million increase at the Land Experiences segment.

Lindblad segment Adjusted EBITDA of $6.5 million increased $3.9 million as compared to the same period in 2023, primarily due to increased tour revenues, partially offset by higher general and administrative costs primarily due to increased personnel costs and increased royalties associated with the expanded National Geographic agreement.

Land Experiences segment Adjusted EBITDA of $3.8 million increased $0.3 million as compared to the same period in 2023, as increased tour revenues were offset by increased operating and personnel costs, higher marketing spend to drive future growth, credit card fees and commission expense.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $217.7 million as of June 30, 2024, as compared with $187.3 million as of December 31, 2023. The increase primarily reflects $62.6 million in cash from operations due primarily to increased bookings for future travel, which was partially offset by $16.7 million in cash used in the acquisition of additional ownership in Natural Habitat and DuVine, as well as, $13.9 used in purchasing property and equipment.

As of June 30, 2024, the Company had a total debt position of $635.1 million and was in compliance with all of its applicable debt covenants.

Strategic Growth Initiatives

The Company announced that it has added two purpose-built Galápagos expedition vessels to join the Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic fleet. The first of the two new ships, the National Geographic Gemini, is a 48-guest configuration featuring two unique dining venues and 24 outward-facing cabins, including 13 balcony suites. Even more intimate, the second vessel, the National Geographic Delfina, is a 16-guest, eight-cabin catamaran perfect for family vacations, affinity groups, and private charters. Following the expected closing of the transaction in January 2025, the ships will undergo revitalizations. Once complete, the ships will embody the spirit of adventure and extreme comfort, both synonymous with Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic, and will celebrate the Company's deep connection to the islands, Ecuador, and its people. The vessels will embark on their inaugural voyages on February 14, 2025, and March 14, 2025, respectively.

The Company continues to expand its land-based experiential travel offerings and increase the addressable market. On July 31, 2024, the Company completed the acquisition Wineland-Thomson Adventures, Inc., an adventure travel group that primarily operates African safaris. The aggregate purchase price was $30 million and was financed through $24.0 million and $6.0 million in Lindblad stock. During April 2024, the Company increased its ownership of Natural Habitat to 90.1% for $15.2 million, as Mr. Bressler, Founder and CEO of Natural Habitat Adventures, exercised a portion of his put option, and we exercised a portion of our call option on DuVine, increasing our ownership to 75% for $1.5 million.

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK

The Company's current expectations for the full year 2024 are as follows:

  • Tour revenues of $610 - $630 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $88 - $98 million

STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN

The Company currently has a $35.0 million stock repurchase plan in place. As of August 5, 2024, the Company had repurchased 875,218 shares and 6.0 million warrants under the plan for a total of $23.0 million and had $12.0 million remaining under the plan. As of August 5, 2024, there were 53.3 million shares common stock outstanding.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Occupancy, Net Yields and Net Cruise Costs, to enable it to analyze its performance and financial condition. The Company utilizes these financial measures to manage its business on a day-to-day basis and believes that they are the most relevant measures of performance. Some of these measures are commonly used in the cruise and tourism industry to evaluate performance. The Company believes these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight to assess revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for determining non-GAAP measures, and as such, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies within the industry.

The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. The definitions of non-GAAP financial measures along with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information to GAAP are included in the supplemental financial schedules.

The Company has scheduled a conference call at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on August 8, 2024, to discuss the earnings of the Company. The conference call can be accessed by dialing 1-800-715-9871 (United States), 1-646-307-1963 (International).

A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is not provided because the Company cannot estimate or predict with reasonable certainty certain discrete tax items, which could significantly impact that financial measure.

Operational and Financial Metrics

Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, other income (expense), income tax (expense) benefit, (gain) loss on foreign currency, (gain) loss on transfer of assets, reorganization costs, and other supplemental adjustments. Other supplemental adjustments include certain non-operating items such as stock-based compensation, executive severance costs, the National Geographic fee amortization, debt refinancing costs, acquisition-related expenses and other non-recurring charges. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a useful measure as it reflects certain operating drivers of the business, such as sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense, and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA helps provide a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income as it does not take into account certain requirements, such as unearned passenger revenues, capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments, and tax payments. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies within the industry.

The following metrics apply to the Lindblad segment:

Adjusted Net Cruise Cost represents Net Cruise Cost adjusted for Non-GAAP other supplemental adjustments which include certain non-operating items such as stock-based compensation, the National Geographic fee amortization and acquisition-related expenses.

Available Guest Nights is a measurement of capacity available for sale and represents double occupancy per cabin (except single occupancy for a single capacity cabin) multiplied by the number of cruise days for the period. We also record the number of guest nights available on our limited land programs in this definition.

Gross Cruise Cost represents the sum of cost of tours plus selling and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses.

Gross Yield per Available Guest Night represents tour revenues divided by Available Guest Nights.

Guest Nights Sold represents the number of guests carried for the period multiplied by the number of nights sailed within the period.

Maximum Guests is a measure of capacity and represents the maximum number of guests in a period and is based on double occupancy per cabin (except single occupancy for a single capacity cabin).

Net Cruise Cost represents Gross Cruise Cost excluding commissions and certain other direct costs of guest ticket revenues and other tour revenues.

Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel represents Net Cruise Cost excluding fuel costs.

Net Yield represents tour revenues less commissions and direct costs of other tour revenues.

Net Yield per Available Guest Night represents Net Yield divided by Available Guest Nights.

Number of Guests represents the number of guests that travel with us in a period.

Occupancy is calculated by dividing Guest Nights Sold by Available Guest Nights.

Voyages represent the number of ship expeditions completed during the period.

Nach der Korrektur – 3 Kupferproduzenten für das Comeback

Kupfer wird oft als „das Gold der Energiewende“ bezeichnet, weil es aufgrund seiner hervorragenden elektrischen Leitfähigkeit eine zentrale Rolle in vielen Technologien spielt, die für nachhaltige Energiesysteme entscheidend sind. Experten gehen aufgrund der Angebotsknappheit von einem Superzyklus aus.

Korrektur als Einstiegschance

Nach Höchstständen im Mai korrigierte das rote Metall stark. Die Abwärtsspirale verstärkte sich in den vergangenen Tagen aufgrund schwacher Konjunkturdaten aus den USA und China. Langfristig könnte sich die aktuell laufende Korrektur als exzellente Einstiegsmöglichkeit herausstellen.

3 Kupferaktien mit hohem Potential

Im neuen, kostenlosen Spezialreport stellen wir drei aussichtsreiche Unternehmen vor, die bei einem weiteren Anstieg überproportional profitieren könnten.
