Shares of the cruise operator rose about 4% in premarket trade, as the company also beat first-quarter revenue and profit estimates. Half of Royal Caribbean's first-quarter yield growth was driven by higher ticket pricing, with the remainder driven by a combination of onboard revenue rates, higher occupancy, and new ships, it said. "Demand for our leading brands ... continues to be very robust, resulting in outperformance in the first quarter, a further increase of full-year earnings guidance, and 60% expected earnings growth year over year," said CEO Jason Liberty.
Royal Caribbean Group (NYSE: RCL) today reported first quarter Earnings per Share ("EPS") of $1.35 and Adjusted EPS of $1.77. These results were better than the company's guidance due to stronger pricing on close-in demand, strength in onboard revenue and favorable timing of expenses. As a result of an exceptional WAVE season and continued strength in demand, the company is increasing 2024 Adjusted EPS guidance to $10.70 - $10.90 per share.
It was a bumper 2023 for the industry and the company has even greater expectations for this year. The stock, however, is yet to reflect that optimism.
