Rare At Sea At Peace Posted June 16, 2021 #1853 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Although it's been a nice run up since March 2020 collapse, and those that do that in & out stock play, the current financial fundamentals are bleak and it appears really doubtful the actual money-making revenue cruises will return (i.e., profits) at all in 2021. The debt accumulated by the big 3 is massive and not the friendliest of rates. The current debt raise, to pay off an earlier maturing one, had 'junk bond' headline status across the financial print and digital news. Again, the current PPS of the big 3, when retain investors look at the 52-week High and Low, is mind blowing when one accounts (it's not factored in the H&L's) the increase share count from the past 15 months or the convertible debt exposure. These stocks, when factored these two items, are price 'way above the 52-week High (or 2019 High, when they were 100% profitably revenue operating). Just IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite amazing and difficult to explain. RCCL will come back, IMHO. (Yes, we are shareholders) 1. We were smiling last night watching all the current videos on the Adventure of the Seas sailing out of Nassau. Everyone genuinely excited to finally get back onboard. And just by looking at the number of "views"...there are lots of interested people. 2. I am hoping to get lucky again. Back in the day, many of my friends thought I was crazy buying Chrysler stocks...it was cheap, perhaps under $5/share at the time...bankruptcy looming in the horizon. Then a guy named Lee Iaccoca took over the company. The rest is history. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you missed my point. I merely pointed out that with 20% dilution, to compare the current PPS compared to a prior HIGH PPS, on must account for the 20% dilution. It's simple math that, with the # of shares 'now' outstanding, a PPS of $108 would be where it would match the highs of 2019-2020; pointing out that it is remarkably close to that level for a public company in an environment of almost complete shutdown. 👍 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slease Posted June 17, 2021 #1865 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I don't own any RCL but looking at the price which seems very overvalued I purchased an $89 put option for 7/2 when it was hovering around $95. Looking pretty good and considering purchasing another longer term. I don't see the value here without time to recover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad others are doing good with the big 3 cruise stocks. IMO, they are so overvalued in an over the top hyped market that it's not for me. Tens of billions of new debt, no real assurance of when return to full pre-pandemic revenue cruises, new ships still on order. It is amazing the stocks are at this level. Then again, on a broader market, it felt like this in 2007-2008 also, along with real estate. 😲 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biker19 Posted August 4, 2021 #1871 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Booking volumes have improved and pricing remains strong at Royal Caribbean Group, which expects to have 80% of its fleet back in service by year-end. So far, the Delta variant has had only a modest impact on closer-in bookings. $1.3bn loss The bookings strength overshadowed the company's second quarter adjusted net loss of $1.3bn, or $5.06 per share — higher than Wall Street's forecast $4.40 — and US GAAP net loss of $1.3bn, or $7.83 per share. Year-ago adjusted net loss was $1.3bn, or $6.13 per share, and US GAAP net loss of $1.6bn, or $7.83 per share. Total revenues were $50.9m, down from $175.6m in Q1 2020. 50% more bookings During Q2, Royal Caribbean chalked up about 50% more new bookings compared to Q1, with trends improving from one month to the next. By June, the company was receiving about 90% more bookings each week when compared to Q1, with improvements of a similar magnitude for both 2021 and 2022 sailings. Overall, the booking activity for 2021 sailings is consistent with the company's expected capacity and occupancy ramp-up, at prices that are higher than 2019. As of June 30, Royal Caribbean had approximately $2.4bn in customer deposits, an increase of $530m from March 31. Approximately 40% of the customer deposit balance is related to future cruise credits; this has dropped from 45% in the prior quarter — a positive trend, indicating net new demand. 29 ships, 42% of capacity, currently operating Already, 29 ships are operating across the group's five brands, representing 42% of capacity. By the end of this month, 36 ships should be in service, or over 60% of capacity. Yesterday, the company said it expects the full fleet to be sailing by spring 2022. 'After 16 months of being at a virtual standstill and another painful financial result this quarter, the flywheel is clearly picking up momentum,' Royal Caribbean Group Chairman and CEO Richard Fain said. 'Since the pandemic began, our objective has been to make our ships safer than Main Street, and today, we are proving that ambitious goal is achievable. We are also encouraged by the booking outlook especially for 2022 and beyond.' 2022 booked load factor is within historical ranges, with sailings in the spring and summer months performing particularly well. Prices for 2022 are up versus a record-setting 2019, even including the dilutive impact of future cruise credits. 'The surge in bookings has been extremely encouraging especially for 2022 and beyond,' Fain said. 'The return of cruising has been faster than anyone expected, and we are excited to gradually restart our presence in our key markets. We are watching the impact of the Delta variant and other likely variants, but overall, we remain optimistic in our mounting trajectory going forward. People also book their cruises long in advance, so we are concentrating on maintaining our price levels while growing our load factors.' Returns to service Since Royal Caribbean's last business update in April, the company has announced itineraries for 21 ships sailing by Aug. 31. This includes 12 ships from US ports. This is in addition to 15 ships previously announced sailing from ports outside the US. In total, 36 ships from five brands, or over 60% of the Royal Caribbean fleet, have either resumed sailing or been announced to resume sailing by the end of August. EVP and CFO Jason Liberty described a 'healthy demand environment,' adding: 'We are very optimistic with our accelerated start in the United States and globally. We anticipate 80% of our fleet to be back in service by year-end ...' Monthly cash burn Q2's average monthly cash burn rate was approximately $330m, slightly higher than the prior quarter as additional ships resumed operations. $5bn of liquidity Since suspending cruises in March 2020, the group has raised approximately $13bn through a combination of bond issuances, common stock offerings and other loan facilities. Royal Caribbean ended Q2 with $5bn of liquidity. Elevated on-board spend Liberty added: 'We are very encouraged by the continued pent-up demand for cruising shown by our accelerated booking trends globally and the elevated on-board spend we are seeing from our guests on current sailings.'

Rare At Sea At Peace Posted August 4, 2021 #1873 Share Posted August 4, 2021 It's possibly a bit disingenuous to infer that a # of ships divided by the total # ships in fleet is the real 'back to capacity data.' It would have been more appropriate to include the % of capacities per ship and for the whole fleet and then report the actual 'back to capacity data.'
