NEW
YORK, Aug. 1, 2022 /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,
2022.
![](https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/457142/Lindblad_Logo_V1.jpg)
Dolf Berle, Chief Executive
Officer, said "We are very excited to have all ten of our owned
ships once again immersing guests in the amazing geographies
Lindblad has been visiting for decades. The nature of our ships and
the remote locations we explore has enabled us to ramp our
operations quickly, and the response from our guests as they return
to experiencing the thrill of exploration has never been more
rewarding. At the same time, our land businesses have also swiftly
returned to operations and the strategic investments we have made
to expand our product offerings is already resulting in positive
earnings contributions from these businesses. The demand for unique
and authentic travel experiences remains strong, and we certainly
expect it to grow even further as we continue to emerge from the
pandemic. While some short-term headwinds remain, we are poised to
begin delivering on the increased earnings power of the Company and
deliver additional shareholder value in the months and years
ahead."
RAMP OF FLEET OPERATIONS AND COVID-19 BUSINESS UPDATE
Ramp in Operations
Lindblad continued to ramp its operations during the second
quarter of 2022, providing immersive expeditions across all ten of
its owned vessels including trips to Alaska, the Arctic, the Galápagos Islands,
Greenland, Iceland, Norway and the Baltic and North Seas. Due to
the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the effects of travel
restrictions around the world, the Company suspended or rescheduled
the majority of its expeditions departing between March 16, 2020 through May
31, 2021. Travel restrictions related to COVID-19 have
diminished dramatically, and the Company continues to work with
local authorities on plans to operate itineraries in
additional geographies during 2022 and 2023. Where travel
restrictions remain, which now also includes a limited number of
itineraries impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Company is working with
guests to reschedule travel plans and refund payments or issue
future travel certificates, as appropriate.
The Company believes there are a variety of strategic advantages
that enable it to deploy its ships safely and quickly, while
mitigating the risk of COVID-19 as travel restrictions are lifted.
The most notable is the size of its owned and operated vessels
which range from 48 to 148 passengers, allowing for a highly
controlled environment that includes stringent cleaning protocols.
The small nature of the Company's ships also allows it to
efficiently and effectively test its guests and crew prior to
boarding, or as otherwise needed. Additionally, all guests are
required to be fully vaccinated, and the majority of expeditions
take place in remote locations where human interactions are
limited, so there is less opportunity for external influence.
Booking Trends
The Company has substantial advance reservations for future
travel despite some continued short-term impact from the COVID-19
virus, including elevated cancellations and softness in near-term
demand, as well as itinerary changes on a few upcoming voyages due
to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Bookings for 2023 are 26%
ahead of the bookings for the full year 2020 at the same point in
2019, which was prior to the pandemic.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2022, the Company
had $126.9 million in unrestricted
cash and $48.8 million in restricted
cash, primarily related to deposits on future travel originating
from U.S. ports and credit card reserves.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company
had a total debt position of $578.2
million and was in compliance with all of its applicable
debt covenants. During May 2022, the
Company further amended its export credit agreements to extend the
waiver of its net leverage coverage ratio from March 2022 through December 31, 2022.
During February 2022, the Company
issued $360.0 million of 6.75% senior
secured notes, maturing 2027 and entered into a new $45.0 million revolving credit facility,
including a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate principal
amount of up to $5.0 million.
Proceeds from the senior secured notes were used primarily to
pay the outstanding borrowings under the Company's previously
existing credit agreement, including the term facility, Main Street
Loan and revolving credit facility. The senior secured notes are
guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of
the Company's subsidiaries and are collateralized by certain of the
Company's assets.
As the Company continues to ramp up operations, its monthly cash
usage will increase as the Company incurs costs in operating
expeditions, prepares additional ships for return to service and
spends to advertise upcoming expeditions and trips. The Company
also anticipates a significant increase in guest payments as it
receives final payments for upcoming expeditions and trips as well
as deposits for new reservations for future travel. However, there
can be no assurance that cash flows from operations will be
available to fund future obligations or that it will not experience
delays or cancellations with respect to the resumption of our
operations.
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Tour Revenues
Second quarter tour revenues of $90.9
million increased $75.6
million as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase
was driven by a $57.3 million
increase at the Lindblad segment and a $18.3
million increase at the Land Experiences segment, primarily
due to the ramp in expeditions and trips compared with the second
quarter a year ago. The Land Experiences segment also includes a
full quarter of results for Classic Journeys, LLC ("Classic
Journeys") which was acquired during the fourth quarter of
2021.
Net Income
Net loss available to stockholders for the
second quarter was $30.0
million, $0.59 per diluted
share, as compared with net loss available to stockholders of
$36.6 million, $0.71 per diluted share, in the second quarter of
2021. The $6.6 million improvement
primarily reflects the ramp in operations, partially offset by a
$3.7 million increase in interest
expense due to additional borrowings and higher rates, a
$3.0 million increase in depreciation
and amortization, primarily due to the addition of the National
Geographic Resolution to the fleet in September 2021, and $1.4 million lower income tax benefit due to
the improved operating results.
Adjusted EBITDA
Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA loss of $6.2 million improved $16.8 million as
compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was driven by a
$14.4 million improvement at the
Lindblad segment and a $2.4
million increase at the Land Experiences segment.
Lindblad segment Adjusted EBITDA loss of $7.5 million improved $14.4 million as
compared to the same period in 2021, as increased tour revenues
were partially offset by higher cost of tours and increased
personnel costs from the ramp in operations, higher commissions
related to the revenue and bookings growth and increased marketing
spend to drive future growth.
Land Experiences segment Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million increased $2.4 million as
compared to 2021, primarily due to additional trips, partially
offset by higher cost of tours and increased personnel costs
related to the ramp in operations and increased marketing costs to
drive future bookings. The Land Experiences segment also includes a
full quarter of results for Classic Journeys which was acquired
during the fourth quarter of 2021.

LINDBLAD FLEET ACTIVITIES
In November 2021, the Company
acquired a ship which is currently undergoing renovations and will
replace the National Geographic Islander in the Galápagos
Islands during the third quarter of 2022. The renovated ship has
been named the National Geographic Islander II and will
provide immersive and authentic expeditions to 48 guests who will
enjoy all suite accommodations, indoor-outdoor dining options and
diverse expedition tools and amenities.
STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN
The Company currently has a $35.0
million stock repurchase plan in place. As of July 25, 2022, 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
July 25, 2022, there were 53.1
million shares common stock outstanding. The Company has suspended
all stock repurchases due to restrictions related to the Main
Street Expanded Loan Facility program.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and will continue to have, a
significant impact on the Company's financial position and results
of operation. Given the continued uncertainty around the COVID-19
pandemic, the Company is not providing a full year outlook
regarding results of operations at this time and will update its
expectations when it has more clarity around the timing and extent
of future operations.
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.
Conference Call Information
The Company has scheduled a conference call at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time on August 1, 2022, to
discuss the earnings of the Company. The conference call can be
accessed by dialing (844) 200-6205 (United States), (833) 950-0062 (Canada) or (929) 526-1599 (outside the

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.
