MIAMI, Nov. 04, 2025 (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, 2025, and provided guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2025.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

Generated record total revenue of $2.9 billion, a 5% increase compared to third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by higher Capacity Days and strong demand, partially offset by lower air program participation, which also reduced air-related costs, mainly due to changes in itinerary mix. GAAP net income was $419.3 million compared to $474.9 million in the prior year, with EPS of $0.86.
Gross margin per Capacity Day increased 1.9% versus 2024 on an as reported basis and increased 2.1% on a Constant Currency basis. Net Yield increased approximately 1.6% on an as reported basis and 1.5% on a Constant Currency basis, in-line with guidance of ~1.5%.
Gross Cruise Costs per Capacity Day was approximately $302, compared to $314 in the prior year. Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day was approximately $156 on an as reported and $155 on a Constant Currency basis, and was up 0.5% on an as reported basis and was essentially flat on a Constant Currency basis compared to $155 in 2024.
Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $1.019 billion, compared to $931 million in 2024, exceeding guidance of $1.015 billion. Adjusted EPS was $1.20, exceeding guidance of $1.14.
Total debt was $14.5 billion. Net Leverage was 5.4x at September 30, 2025, a 0.1x increase from June 30, 2025 primarily due to the delivery of Oceania Allura.

2025 Outlook

The Company reaffirmed Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income full year 2025 guidance metrics. A summary of the updated full year guidance is provided below:

2025 full year Net Yield guidance on a Constant Currency basis is expected to increase approximately 2.4-2.5% versus 2024.
2025 Adjusted Net Cruise Cost excluding Fuel per Capacity Day is expected to grow approximately 0.75% on a Constant Currency basis versus 2024.
2025 full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance is unchanged and expected to be approximately $2.72 billion.
Adjusted Operational EBITDA Margin guidance for the full year 2025 is unchanged and expected to be approximately 37%, a 150 basis point increase versus 2024.
Full year Adjusted Net Income guidance is reiterated at approximately $1.045 billion. Adjusted EPS guidance is expected to be $2.10 compared to previous guidance of $2.05.
Net Leverage guidance is expected to end the year at ~5.3x compared to previous guidance of ~5.2x.
The Company remains committed to achieving its 2026 Charting the Course financial targets.

Booking Environment Update

The Company continues to experience healthy consumer demand across its portfolio of three brands for the balance of 2025 and into 2026, with record bookings made in the third quarter, including strong demand for its Caribbean sailings. As a result, the Company remains well positioned within its optimal range for its forward 12-month booked position. Occupancy for the third quarter of 2025 was 106.4%, exceeding guidance of ~105.5%.

Liquidity and Financial Position

The Company is committed to prioritizing efforts to optimize its balance sheet and reduce Net Leverage. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had total debt of $14.5 billion and Net Debt of $14.4 billion. Net Leverage increased by approximately 0.1x compared to June 30, 2025, ending the quarter at 5.4x, primarily due to the delivery of Oceania Allura.

At quarter-end, liquidity was $1.8 billion including approximately $166.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and $1.6 billion of availability under our Revolving Loan Facility.

“In September, we successfully completed a series of strategic capital market transactions that significantly enhanced our financial flexibility,” said Mark A. Kempa, executive vice president and chief financial officer of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd. “We refinanced the majority of our 2027 Exchangeable Notes, extending our debt maturity profile and reducing our shares outstanding on a fully diluted basis by approximately 38.1 million shares while remaining essentially Net Leverage neutral. Additionally, we refinanced approximately $2.0 billion of debt, which included replacing approximately $1.8 billion of secured debt with unsecured debt. As a result, all of our secured notes were eliminated from our capital structure. These strategic transactions underscore our continued focus on optimizing our capital structure, improving collateral utilization and supporting our long-term growth trajectory.”

Outlook and Guidance

In addition to announcing the results for the third quarter 2025, the Company also provided guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2025, along with accompanying sensitivities, subject to changes in the broad macroeconomic environment. 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 2025 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.

__________________

(1) Based on guidance and using diluted weighted-average shares outstanding of approximately 467 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 496 million for full year 2025.
(2) Fourth quarter and full year 2025 guidance assumes the Company’s 2027 Exchangeable Notes are dilutive and therefore are included in diluted weighted-average shares outstanding. As of September 30, 2025, the price of NCLH’s ordinary shares did not exceed the conversion price related to the Company’s 2030 Exchangeable Notes, and therefore, there was no impact to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding considered for the fourth quarter and full year 2025 guidance.
(3) Interest expense excluding debt extinguishment and modification costs. Based on the Company’s September 30, 2025 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 $12 million excluding the effects of the capitalization of interest.
(4) Impact from changes in foreign exchange rates only considers the impact that foreign exchange rate movements could have on our revenues and operating costs. Full year represents impact of foreign exchange rates on the fourth quarter.

The following reflects the foreign currency exchange rates as of September 30, 2025 that the Company used in its fourth quarter and full year 2025 guidance.


	Current Guidance
Euro	$	1.17
British pound	$	1.34
Australian Dollar	$	0.66
Canadian Dollar	$	0.72

Fuel

The Company reported fuel expense of $176 million in the quarter. Fuel price per metric ton, net of hedges, increased to $744 from $699 in 2024. Fuel consumption of 236,000 metric tons was below projections. The following reflects the Company’s expectations regarding fuel consumption and pricing, along with accompanying sensitivities:


	Fourth Quarter 2025		Full Year 2025
Fuel consumption in metric tons¹		263,000		993,000
Fuel price per metric ton, net of hedges²	$	672	$	690
Effect on Adjusted EPS of a 10% change in fuel prices, net of hedges³	$	0.02	$	0.02

__________________

(1) Total fuel consumption for the full year 2025 is expected to be comprised mainly of heavy fuel oil and marine gas oil, as well as other fuel types.
(2) Fuel prices are based on spot rates as of 10/08/2025.
(3) Full year represents impact of change in fuel prices on the fourth quarter.

As of October 16, 2025, the Company had hedged approximately 58%, 48%, and 23% of its total projected metric tons of fuel consumption for the remainder of 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively. We primarily hedge heavy fuel oil (“HFO”) and marine gas oil (“MGO”). Other fuel types are unhedged. The following table provides amounts hedged and prices per metric ton:

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, 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, 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, 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 and Adjusted EPS are non-GAAP financial measures that exclude certain amounts and are used to supplement GAAP net income and EPS. We use Adjusted Net Income 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 and Adjusted EPS may not be indicative of future adjustments or results. In 2025, we took on two newbuilds that have euro-denominated debt, that is primarily unhedged, and we expect to take delivery of ships that have euro-denominated debt in the future. Due to the significant increase in our euro-denominated debt in 2025 and the fact that a substantial portion of our debt is in dollars, we have included the related net foreign currency remeasurement losses as a supplemental adjustment in our calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS. To ensure comparability, we have retrospectively applied this adjustment to certain periods, using a consistent methodology. The quantitative impact of these adjustments is presented in the accompanying reconciliation tables here and in the third quarter 2025 earnings presentation. Non-GAAP diluted weighted-average shares are calculated using the treasury stock method to calculate the effect of restricted share units and options, and the if-converted method to calculate the effect of convertible instruments. This is the same methodology that is used when calculating GAAP diluted weighted-average shares. However, the determination of whether the shares are dilutive or anti-dilutive is made independently on a GAAP and non-GAAP net income basis, and therefore, the number of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for GAAP and non-GAAP may be different.

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.
