EXHIBIT 99.1
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Reports Strong Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results
Third quarter revenue up ~11% over prior year setting record revenue in a quarter
Company beats third quarter guidance across all key metrics and raises full year guidance for fourth time
MIAMI, Oct. 31, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. (NYSE: NCLH) (together with NCL Corporation Ltd. (“NCLC”), “Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings”, “Norwegian”, “NCLH” or the “Company”) today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024 and provided guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2024.
Third Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Generated record third quarter total revenue of $2.8 billion, an ~11% increase compared to the same period in 2023 on 4% capacity growth. GAAP net income was $474.9 million, a 37% increase compared to third quarter 2023, with EPS increasing $0.24, or 34%, to $0.95. Performance was driven by strong revenue growth and continued execution on cost reductions and efficiencies, which offset a $0.06 per share negative impact from foreign exchange rates in the quarter.
- The Company’s sustained focus on margin enhancement drove another quarter of improvement in operating costs. Gross Cruise Costs per Capacity Day was approximately $314 for the quarter. Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day was approximately $155 on an as reported and Constant Currency basis, and was better than guidance of $156 due to timing differences of costs which will now shift to the fourth quarter.1
- Adjusted EBITDA grew 24% to $931.0 million, a quarterly record high, compared to $752.1 million for the same period of 2023 and above guidance of approximately $870 million. Adjusted EPS grew $0.24, or 31%, to $0.99, exceeding guidance of $0.92.
- Gross margin per Capacity Day was up 19% versus 2023 on an as reported and up 20% on a Constant Currency basis. Net Yield growth beat guidance by 260 basis points, increasing over prior year by approximately 8.7% on an as reported and 9.0% on a Constant Currency basis due to strong demand and pricing across our deployment, particularly in Alaska and Canada-New England, as well as onboard spend.
- Total debt was $13.4 billion. Net Leverage was 5.58x for the 12-months ended September 30, 2024, an ~1.75x reduction from December 31, 2023.
- Successfully issued $315 million of 6.250% senior notes due 2030. The net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem $315 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.625% senior notes due 2024.
1 See “Terminology”, “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Outlook” below for additional information about Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA and other non-GAAP financial measures.
2024 Outlook
- 2024 full year Net Yield guidance on a Constant Currency basis increased 120 basis points from the prior guidance to approximately 9.4% from 8.2%. The increase in guidance is driven by strong demand across all three brands and itineraries in the second half of 2024.
- 2024 full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance increased $75 million from the prior guidance to approximately $2.425 billion from $2.350 billion. This raise is due to better than expected third quarter results and increased guidance for the fourth quarter of 2024.
- Adjusted Operational EBITDA Margin for the full year 2024 increased to 35.3%, up from previous guidance of 34.5%.
- Full year 2024 Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day guidance remained unchanged at flat to prior year excluding the impact of Dry-docks, as cost savings measures fully offset inflation and increased variable compensation due to strong performance of the business.
- Full year Adjusted Net Income guidance increased $65 million from prior guidance to approximately $855 million from $790 million, and Adjusted EPS guidance increased approximately 8%, or $0.12 to $1.65 from $1.53.
- Net Leverage is expected to end the year at ~5.4 times, a reduction of almost two turns compared to 2023.
- On track to achieve double-digit Adjusted ROIC by year-end.
- Remain committed to Charting the Course targets; progressing towards achieving 2026 goals.
"Our exceptional third quarter results, with record revenue, net income and Adjusted EBITDA, surpassed guidance across all key metrics, underscoring the strength of our business, the attractiveness of our product offering across all brands and the superior execution and delivery by our teams both shoreside and shipboard," said Harry Sommer, President and chief executive officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. "Fueled by robust demand and our relentless focus on cost control and margin enhancement, we're raising our full-year guidance for a fourth time and expect 2024 to be our best year2 for revenue, Net Yield growth and Adjusted EBITDA. We now project Adjusted EBITDA to be $225 million above our initial guidance, growing 30% year-over-year, and Adjusted EPS to be $0.42 above initial guidance, growing approximately 136% year-over-year, reflecting our ability to capitalize on market opportunities while delivering outstanding experiences across our brands.”
2 We expect 2024 to result in record revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Net Yield growth as compared to each full year since the company’s initial public offering when normalizing yearly Net Yield growth for acquisitions such as the acquisition of Prestige Cruise Holdings in 2014.
Booking Environment Update
With the majority of the new bookings now being made for voyages in 2025 and beyond, the Company continues to experience strong consumer demand for its offerings across itineraries and brands. As a result, the Company remains at the upper range of its optimal booked position on a 12-month forward basis. Occupancy was 108.1% for the third quarter of 2024, in line with guidance. Full year 2024 Occupancy is expected to average approximately 105.0%. The Company’s advance ticket sales balance, including the long-term portion, ended the third quarter of 2024 at $3.3 billion, a quarterly record high and approximately 6% higher than the same period of 2023.
Liquidity and Financial Position
The Company is committed to prioritizing efforts to optimize its balance sheet and reduce leverage. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had total debt of $13.4 billion and Net Debt of $13.1 billion. Net Leverage improved by approximately 1.75 turns compared to December 31, 2023, ending the third quarter of 2024 at 5.58x.
At quarter-end, liquidity was $2.4 billion including approximately $332.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, $1.2 billion of availability under our undrawn Revolving Loan Facility, and a $650 million undrawn backstop commitment.
“This quarter, we made significant strides in strengthening our financial position. We successfully refinanced $315 million of notes coming due in 2024 with 6.250% unsecured notes due 2030 with the remaining balance of $250 million to be paid at maturity. This transaction represents another key step in our ongoing efforts to optimize our capital structure and de-risk the business. Furthermore, our robust Adjusted EBITDA growth drove further reduction in our Net Leverage, which decreased to 5.58 times, an ~1.75x reduction from year-end 2023. As we look ahead, we remain committed to our disciplined approach to financial management. The combination of our successful cost optimization initiatives and the strong demand environment positions us well to further reduce our Net Leverage, which is expected to end the year at ~5.4 times.” said Mark A. Kempa, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd.
Outlook and Guidance
In addition to announcing the results for the third quarter 2024, the Company also provided guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2024, along with accompanying sensitivities. The Company does not provide certain estimated future results on a GAAP basis because the Company is unable to predict, with reasonable certainty, the future movement of foreign exchange rates or the future impact of certain gains and charges. These items are uncertain and will depend on several factors, including industry conditions, and could be material to the Company’s results computed in accordance with GAAP. The Company has not provided reconciliations between the Company’s 2024 guidance and the most directly comparable GAAP measures because it would be too difficult to prepare a reliable U.S. GAAP quantitative reconciliation without unreasonable effort.

- Q4 2024 includes an approximate 370 basis point, or approximately $6 impact of increased Dry-dock days and related costs. Full Year 2024 includes an approximate 300 basis point, or approximately $5, impact of increased Dry-dock days and related costs. Excluding this impact, the Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel per Capacity Day would be declining slightly in the fourth quarter amounting to $150 as reported and $149 in Constant Currency and essentially flat year-over-year, amounting to $155 as reported and $154 in Constant Currency in 2024.
- Based on guidance and using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 445 million for the fourth quarter of 2024 and 515 million for full year 2024. Adjusted EPS for the fourth quarter 2024 assumes that none of the Company’s outstanding exchangeable notes are dilutive and therefore are not included in diluted weighted-average shares outstanding and full year 2024 assumes that all four of the Company’s exchangeable notes are fully dilutive and therefore excludes approximately $62 million of interest expense, respectively, associated with the Company’s exchangeable notes.
- Q4 2024 assumes all three of the Company’s exchangeable notes are anti-dilutive and therefore are not included in diluted weighted-average shares outstanding and full year 2024 assumes all four of the Company’s exchangeable notes are dilutive and therefore are included in diluted weighted-average shares outstanding.
- Based on the Company’s September 30, 2024 outstanding variable rate debt balance, a one percentage point increase in annual SOFR interest rates would increase the Company’s annual interest expense by approximately $6 million excluding the effects of capitalization of interest.

Fuel
The Company reported fuel expense of $165 million in the quarter. Fuel price per metric ton, net of hedges, decreased to $699 from $727 in 2023. Fuel consumption of 236,000 metric tons was in-line with projections. The following reflects the Company’s expectations regarding fuel consumption and pricing, along with accompanying sensitivities.
| | | | | | | | |
| | | Fourth Quarter 2024 | | Full Year 2024 | |

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operational EBITDA Margin, Net Yield, Net Cruise Cost, Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel, Adjusted EBITDA, Net Leverage, Net Debt, Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted ROIC and Net Per Diem, to enable us to analyze our performance. See “Terminology” for the definitions of these and other non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes the presentation of Adjusted ROIC provides a useful performance metric to both management and investors for evaluating our effective use of capital and has used it as a performance measure for our incentive compensation. We utilize Adjusted Gross Margin, Net Yield, and Net Per Diem to manage our business on a day-to-day basis because they reflect revenue earned net of certain direct variable costs. We utilize Adjusted Operational EBITDA Margin to assess operating performance. We also utilize Net Cruise Cost and Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. In measuring our ability to control costs in a manner that positively impacts net income (loss), we believe changes in Adjusted Gross Margin, Adjusted Operational EBITDA Margin, Net Yield, Net Cruise Cost and Adjusted Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel to be the most relevant indicators of our performance.
As our business includes the sourcing of passengers and deployment of vessels outside of the U.S., a portion of our revenue and expenses are denominated in foreign currencies, particularly British pound, Canadian dollar, Euro and Australian dollar which are subject to fluctuations in currency exchange rates versus our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. In order to monitor results excluding these fluctuations, we calculate certain non-GAAP measures on a Constant Currency basis, whereby current period revenue and expenses denominated in foreign currencies are converted to U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates of the comparable period. We believe that presenting these non-GAAP measures on both a reported and Constant Currency basis is useful in providing a more comprehensive view of trends in our business.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate as a supplemental financial measure as it is used by management to assess operating performance. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure in determining our performance as it reflects certain operating drivers of our business, such as sales growth, operating costs, marketing, general and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA as a performance measure for our incentive compensation. Adjusted EBITDA is not a defined term under GAAP nor is it intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income (loss), as it does not take into account certain requirements such as capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments and tax payments and it includes other supplemental adjustments.
In addition, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain amounts and are used to supplement GAAP net income (loss) and EPS. We use Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS as key performance measures of our earnings performance. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management’s internal comparison to our historical performance. In addition, management uses Adjusted EPS as a performance measure for our incentive compensation. The amounts excluded in the presentation of these non-GAAP financial measures may vary from period to period; accordingly, our presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EPS may not be indicative of future adjustments or results.
Net Leverage and Net Debt are performance measures that we believe provide management and investors a more complete understanding of our leverage position and borrowing capacity after factoring in cash and cash equivalents.
You are encouraged to evaluate each adjustment used in calculating our non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons we consider our non-GAAP financial measures appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating our non-GAAP financial measures, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses similar to the adjustments in our presentation. Our non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Our non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other companies. Please see a historical reconciliation of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure presented in our consolidated financial statements below.
