NEW
YORK, July 27, 2023 /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, 2023.
Sven Lindblad, Chief Executive
Officer, said "Lindblad delivered another quarter of strong year on
year growth as we continue to ramp operations and put the pandemic
behind us. While we are proud of what we have achieved thus far,
what really excites us is the opportunity ahead given the massive
interest in experiential travel. With a proven track record of
delivering high quality and authentic travel experiences over the
last five decades, along with the strategic investments we have
made over the last several years to expand our fleet, diversify our
portfolio of land offerings, upgrade our technology footprint and
enhance our overall infrastructure, we are uniquely positioned to
significantly capitalize on that growing demand. There will
certainly still be short-term challenges given what the industry is
emerging from, but we are beginning to meaningfully tap into the
expanded earnings power of the Company and look forward to building
additional shareholder value in the months and years ahead."
SECOND QUARTER RESULTS
Tour Revenues
Second quarter tour revenues of $124.8
million increased $33.9
million, or 37%, as compared to the same period in 2022. The
increase was driven by a $23.4
million increase at the Lindblad segment and a $10.5 million increase at the Land Experiences
segment.
Lindblad segment tour revenues of $87.4
million increased $23.4
million, or 36%, compared to the second quarter a year ago
primarily due to a 34% increase in available guest nights as we
continued to ramp operations. The year-on-year growth was also
driven by a 5% increase in net yield per available guest night to
$1,034 due to increased pricing and
broader fleet utilization.
Land Experiences tour revenues of $37.4
million increased $10.5
million, or 39%, compared to the second quarter a year ago
primarily due to additional departures and higher pricing.
Net Income
Net loss available to stockholders for the
second quarter was $25.6
million, $0.48 per diluted
share, as compared with net loss available to stockholders of
$30.0 million, $0.59 per diluted share, in the second quarter of
2022. The $4.5 million improvement
primarily reflects the ramp in operations, partially offset by the
write-off of $3.9 million in deferred
financing fees due to refinancing the Company's export credit
facilities, a $2.2 million increase
in interest expense due to additional borrowings and higher rates,
a $1.6 million increase in
stock-based compensation and a $1.0
million tax benefit in the second quarter a year ago.
Adjusted EBITDA
Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $6.2
million increased $12.4 million as compared to the same
period in 2022 driven by a $10.1
million increase at the Lindblad segment and a
$2.3 million increase at the Land
Experiences segment.
Lindblad segment Adjusted EBITDA of $2.7
million increased $10.1 million as compared to the same
period in 2022, primarily due to increased tour revenues, partially
offset by higher cost of tours and increased personnel and sales
tax costs related to the ramp in operations and increased
commissions related to the revenue and bookings growth.
Land Experiences segment Adjusted EBITDA of $3.5 million increased $2.3 million as compared to the same period in
2022, primarily due to increased tour revenues, partially offset by
higher cost of tours and increased personnel costs related to the
ramp in operations, increased commissions related to the revenue
and bookings growth and higher marketing costs to drive future
growth.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity
The Company's cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and
short-term securities were $197.4
million as of June 30, 2023,
as compared with $129.6 million as of
December 31, 2022. The increase
primarily reflects $61.5 million in
net cash from financing activities primarily related to the May
issuance of $275.0 million of 9.00%
senior secured notes and $19.5
million in cash from operations due to the strong operating
performance and increased bookings for future travel, partially
offset by $14.7 million in cash used
in purchasing property and equipment, predominantly related to
maintenance on existing vessels and investments in our digital
initiatives.
During May, the Company issued $275.0
million of 9.00% senior secured notes, maturing 2028, with
proceeds used primarily to pay the outstanding borrowings under the
Company's previously existing export credit agreements. 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 of June 30, 2023, the Company
had a total debt position of $635.1
million and was in compliance with all of its applicable
debt covenants.
FINANCIAL OUTLOOK
The Company's current expectations for the full year
2023 are as follows:
- Tour revenues of $550 -
$575 million
- Adjusted EBITDA of $70 -
$80 million
The Company has substantial advance reservations for future
travel with strong gross bookings, partially offset by short-term
cancellations. As of July 24, 2023,
Lindblad segment bookings for travel during 2023 have increased 43%
as compared with bookings for 2019 as of the same date in 2019.
STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN
The Company currently has a $35.0
million stock repurchase plan in place. As of July 24, 2023, 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 24, 2023, 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 July 27, 2023, to discuss the earnings of the
Company. The conference call can be accessed by dialing
833-470-1428 (United States),

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.
