Royal Caribbean Reports Better Than Expected Results and Forward Guidance
By Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., PRNEWednesday, January 26, 2011
MIAMI, January 27, 2011 - Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE, OSE: RCL) today announced better than
expected fourth quarter and full year 2010 results and provided earnings
guidance for 2011.
Key Highlights
-- For the Fourth Quarter 2010:
-- Net income was $42.7 million, or $0.20 per share versus $3.4
million, or $0.02 per share in 2009;
-- Weather and currency related issues reduced earnings by $0.03 per
share, but were more than offset by higher revenues and cost
containment;
-- Net Yields increased 3.2%, (4.2% on a Constant Currency basis).
Absent extreme weather conditions, constant currency Net Yields
would have increased 4.7%;
-- Net Cruise Costs per APCD ("NCC") were flat, (up 1.0% on a
Constant Currency basis).
-- For the Full Year 2010:
-- Net Yields increased 4.2% (4.4% on a Constant Currency basis);
-- NCC declined 1.8% (down 1.3% on a Constant Currency basis);
-- NCC excluding fuel declined for the third year in a row and were
down 1.6%;
-- Net income was $547.5 million, or $2.51 per share versus $162.4
million, or $0.75 per share in 2009.
-- 2011 Guidance:
-- Net Yields are expected to improve 4% to 6% for the full year and
2% to 3% in the first quarter;
-- NCC excluding fuel are expected to increase approximately 2% for
the full year and the first quarter;
-- EPS is expected to be between $3.25 and $3.45 for the full year
and $0.10 to $0.15 for the first quarter of 2011, based on
current fuel prices and currency exchange rates.
"These improved results reflect the strong reception our new ships have
received along with the solid branding our different cruise brands have
enjoyed," said Richard D. Fain, chairman and chief executive officer. Fain
continued, "WAVE is off to a solid start and supports our earlier confidence
in meaningful pricing recovery and record financial performance in 2011."
Fourth Quarter 2010 Results
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. today announced net income for the fourth
quarter 2010 of $42.7 million, or $0.20 per share, compared to net income of
$3.4 million, or $0.02 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009.
Revenues improved to $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared
to $1.5 billion in the fourth quarter of 2009 as a result of capacity
increases and yield improvements. Net Yields for the fourth quarter of 2010
increased 3.2% (4.2% on a Constant Currency basis). During this last quarter,
extreme weather conditions impacted some of the company's voyages and
impaired some of its guests' ability to make their departures. Absent these
weather disruptions, Net Yields on a Constant Currency basis would have
increased 4.7%, in line with previous guidance.
Costs in the fourth quarter of 2010 were well controlled and to a lesser
extent some timing shifts to the first quarter of 2011 occurred. NCC were
flat, and NCC excluding fuel increased 1.7%. Excluding currency impacts, the
comparable figures would have been increases of 1.0% and 2.9%, respectively.
The company's energy consumption efforts were also better than previous
guidance with usage of 344,000 metric tons during the fourth quarter.
At-the-pump pricing (including the benefit of the company's hedging program)
was in line with earlier calculations at $474 per metric ton. Taken together,
the quarter's fuel expenditures were approximately $4 million better than
previous calculations.
Full Year 2010 Results
Net income for the full year 2010 was $547.5 million, or $2.51 per share,
compared to net income of $162.4 million, or $0.75 per share, for the full
year 2009. Revenues for the full year 2010 increased 15% to $6.8 billion from
revenues of $5.9 billion for the full year 2009. Net cruise costs excluding
fuel declined for the third year in a row and were down 1.6%. Despite
significant market price increases, fuel costs per metric ton increased only
1% to $493 as a result of the company's hedging program. Since 2005, the
company has reduced energy consumption per APCD by 15% and full year 2010
consumption was 1,311,000 metric tons.
2011 Outlook
The company reported that early "WAVE season" bookings have been
encouraging and booked load factors and average per diems are ahead of same
time last year. On an as reported basis, the company expects net yields to
increase between 4% and 6% for the full year and 2% to 3% for the first
quarter of 2011. On a Constant Currency basis, Net Yields are forecasted to
be up between 4% and 5% for the full year and to increase 1% to 2% in the
first quarter of 2011.
On a Constant Currency basis, NCC excluding fuel are forecasted to be up
1% to 2% for the full year and the first quarter of 2011. On an as reported
basis, NCC excluding fuel are expected to be up approximately 2% for the full
year and the first quarter of 2011.
Based upon the above and current fuel prices and currency exchange rates,
the company expects full year EPS will be between $3.25 and $3.45 per share.
"Our company continues to focus on costs and improving its financial
performance," said Brian J. Rice, executive vice president and chief
financial officer. "This focus, combined with the improving pricing power of
our brands should generate significant earnings opportunities as we move into
2011 and beyond."
In commenting on its guidance, the company noted the potential for an
increasing role of its tour operations which include Royal Celebrity Tours,
Pullmantur's tour businesses and other operations on its yield and net cruise
costs metrics. The company noted that revenues and expenses associated with
such operations tend to be more volatile and less predictable than its main
cruise businesses. Because these tour businesses have relatively low margins,
this volatility has little impact on bottom line results but can cause
fluctuations in the financial statistics for revenues and operating costs.
Fuel Expense
The company does not forecast fuel prices and its cost calculations are
based on current at-the-pump prices net of hedging impacts. Based on today's
fuel prices the company has included $168 million and $705 million of fuel
expense in its first quarter 2011 and full year 2011 guidance, respectively.
The company continues to focus on managing its operations and itineraries
more efficiently. As a result, forecasted fuel consumption per APCD is down a
further 6% for 2011.
Forecasted consumption is now 58% hedged for the remainder of 2011, 55%
hedged in 2012, and 30% hedged in 2013. Additionally, as previously
disclosed, the company utilizes fuel options which are marked-to-market each
quarter as further protection against escalating fuel prices.

The company provided the following estimates for the first quarter and
full year 2011.

Liquidity and Financing Arrangements
As of December 31, 2010, liquidity was $1.6 billion, including cash and
the undrawn portion of the company's unsecured revolving credit facilities.
Additionally, the company has $1.3 billion of committed unsecured financing
on its two remaining newbuilds.
During the fourth quarter of 2010 the company finalized an additional
unsecured revolving credit facility in the amount of $525 million due in
November, 2014. Going forward, the company anticipates maintaining two
separate revolving credit facilities with staggered maturity dates to further
reduce refinancing risk.
Capital Expenditures and Capacity Guidance
Based on current ship orders, projected capital expenditures for 2011,
2012, and 2013 are $1.0 billion, $1.0 billion and $350 million, respectively.
Capacity increases for the same three years are 7.4%, 1.2%, and 2.2%,
respectively.
Conference Call Scheduled
The company has scheduled a conference call at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard
Time today to discuss its earnings. This call can be heard, either live or on
a delayed basis, on the company's investor relations web site at
www.rclinvestor.com.
Selected Operational and Financial Metrics
Available Passenger Cruise Days ("APCD")
APCD is our measurement of capacity and represents double occupancy per
cabin multiplied by the number of cruise days for the period. We use this
measure to perform capacity and rate analysis to identify our main
non-capacity drivers which cause our cruise revenues and expenses to vary.
Constant Currency
We believe Net Yields and Net Cruise Costs are our most relevant non-GAAP
financial measures. However, a significant portion of our revenue and
expenses are denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar.
Because our reporting currency is the United States dollar, the value of
these revenues and expenses can be affected by changes in currency exchange
rates. Although such changes in local currency prices is just one of many
elements impacting our revenues and expenses, it can be an important element.
For this reason, we also monitor Net Yields and Net Cruise Costs as if the
current periods' currency exchange rates had remained constant with the
comparable prior periods' rates, or on a "Constant Currency" basis.
It should be emphasized that the use of Constant Currency is primarily
used for comparing short-term changes and/or projections. Over the longer
term, changes in guest sourcing and shifting the amount of purchases between
currencies significantly change the impact of the purely currency based
fluctuations.
Gross Cruise Costs
Gross Cruise Costs represent the sum of total cruise operating expenses
plus marketing, selling and administrative expenses.
Gross Yields
Gross Yields represent total revenues per APCD.
Net Cruise Costs
Net Cruise Costs represent Gross Cruise Costs excluding commissions,
transportation and other expenses and onboard and other expenses. In
measuring our ability to control costs in a manner that positively impacts
net income, we believe changes in Net Cruise Costs to be the most relevant
indicator of our performance. We have not provided a quantitative
reconciliation of projected Gross Cruise Costs to projected Net Cruise Costs
due to the significant uncertainty in projecting the costs deducted to arrive
at this measure. Accordingly, we do not believe that reconciling information
for such projected figures would be meaningful.
Net Debt-to-Capital
Net Debt-to-Capital is a ratio which represents total long-term debt,
including current portion of long-term debt, less cash and cash equivalents
("Net Debt") divided by the sum of Net Debt and total shareholders' equity.
We believe Net Debt and Net Debt-to-Capital, along with total long-term debt
and shareholders' equity are useful measures of our capital structure.
Net Revenues
Net Revenues represent total revenues less commissions, transportation
and other expenses and onboard and other expenses.
Net Yields
Net Yields represent Net Revenues per APCD. We utilize Net Revenues and
Net Yields to manage our business on a day-to-day basis as we believe that it
is the most relevant measure of our pricing performance because it reflects
the cruise revenues earned by us net of our most significant variable costs,
which are commissions, transportation and other expenses and onboard and
other expenses. We have not provided a quantitative reconciliation of
projected Gross Yields to projected Net Yields due to the significant
uncertainty in projecting the costs deducted to arrive at this measure.
Accordingly, we do not believe that reconciling information for such
projected figures would be meaningful.
Occupancy
Occupancy, in accordance with cruise vacation industry practice, is
calculated by dividing Passenger Cruise Days by APCD. A percentage in excess
of 100% indicates that three or more passengers occupied some cabins.
Passenger Cruise Days
Passenger Cruise Days represent the number of passengers carried for the
period multiplied by the number of days of their respective cruises.
