Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc.
Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business
Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc.’s and its consolidated subsidiaries’ (the “Company” or “Lindblad”) mission is offering life-changing adventures around the world and pioneering innovative ways to allow its guests to connect with exotic and remote places. The Company currently operates a fleet of ten owned expedition ships and five seasonal charter vessels under the Lindblad brand, operates land-based, eco-conscious expeditions and active nature focused tours under the Natural Habitat, Inc. (“Natural Habitat”) and Off the Beaten Path, LLC (“Off the Beaten Path”) brands, designs handcrafted walking tours under the Classic Journeys, LLC (“Classic Journeys”) brand and operates luxury cycling and adventure tours under the DuVine Cycling + Adventure Company (“DuVine”) brand.
The Company’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “LIND”.
The Company operates the following two reportable business segments:
Lindblad Segment. The Lindblad segment primarily provides ship-based expeditions aboard customized, nimble and intimately-scaled vessels that are able to venture where larger cruise ships cannot, thus allowing Lindblad to offer up-close experiences in the planet’s wild and remote places and capitals of culture. Each expedition ship is fully equipped with state-of-the-art tools for in-depth exploration, and the majority of expeditions involve travel to remote places with limited infrastructure and ports, such as Antarctica and the Arctic, or places that are best accessed by a ship, such as the Galápagos Islands, Alaska, Baja California’s Sea of Cortez and Panama, and foster active engagement by guests. The Company has an alliance with National Geographic Partners, LLC (“National Geographic”), which provides for lecturers and National Geographic experts, including photographers, writers, marine biologists, naturalists, field researchers and film crews, to join many of the Company’s expeditions.
Land Experiences Segment. The Land Experiences segment includes our four primarily land-based brands, Natural Habitat, DuVine, Off the Beaten Path and Classic Journeys.
● | Natural Habitat specializes in conservation-oriented adventures, providing life-enhancing forays into the natural world that feature wild habitats and the animals and people who live there. Natural Habitat’s travel adventures provide unparalleled access to the planet's most extraordinary wildlife, landscapes and cultures. Natural Habitat’s unique itineraries include access to private wildlife reserves, remote corners of national parks and distinctive, secluded, and remote lodges and camps situated where wildlife viewing is best, such as polar bear tours in Churchill, Canada, Alaskan grizzly bear adventures, small-group Galápagos Islands tours and African safaris. Natural Habitat has partnered with World Wildlife Fund (“WWF”) to offer conservation travel, which is sustainable travel that contributes to the protection of nature and wildlife. | |
● | DuVine specializes in luxury cycling and adventure tours around the world, providing immersive cultural and culinary experiences through thoughtfully designed itineraries led by expert local guides. Offerings primarily include tours throughout Europe, the United States and South America. Examples of DuVine’s tours include cycling and culinary tours throughout the Bordeaux and Burgundy wine making regions, Tuscan truffle, porcini and chestnut harvest regions, Napa and Sonoma wine making regions and lakes and volcanos throughout Patagonia. DuVine’s trips include top-quality gear and support and are tailored to riders of all abilities with an emphasis on exceptional food and wine experiences, along with boutique accommodations. | |
● | Off the Beaten Path provides active small-group and private custom journeys around the world with a long-standing focus on offering unique adventures and experiences throughout United States (“U.S.”) National Parks. In addition to other U.S.-based adventures such as ranch vacations and fly-fishing expeditions, Off the Beaten Path’s small-group product offerings include international expeditions across Europe, Africa, Australia, Central and South America and the South Pacific, such as hiking through the Dolomites, family adventures in Patagonia’s Lake District and experiencing the culture of Morocco. All Off the Beaten Path expeditions are defined by a focus on outdoor activity led by experienced, friendly guides. | |
● | Classic Journeys offers highly curated active small-group and private custom journeys centered around cinematic walks focused on engaging experiences that immerse guests into the history and culture of the places they are exploring and the people who live there, led by expert local guides in over 50 countries around the world. Classic Journeys’ tours are highlighted by luxury boutique accommodations and handcrafted itineraries curated through years of local connections such as experiencing Tuscan farmhouse kitchens, exploring Minoan ruins in Crete, or eating and dancing around a Berber encampment campfire. |
The Company’s common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “LIND”.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding unaudited interim financial information and include the accounts and transactions of the Company. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year due to seasonality and other factors. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 20212022 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2022March 10, 2023 (the “20212022 Annual Report”).
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the 20212022 Annual Report.
Ramp of Fleet Operations and COVID-19 Business Update
The Company continued to ramp its operations during the second quarter of 2022, providing immersive expeditions across all ten of its owned vessels including trips to Alaska, the Arctic, the Galápagos Islands, Iceland, Norway and the Baltic and North Seas. Due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the effects of travel restrictions around the world, the Company suspended or rescheduled the majority of its expeditions departing between March 16, 2020 through May 31, 2021. Travel restrictions related to COVID-19 have diminished dramatically, and the Company continues to work with local authorities on plans to operate itineraries in additional geographies during the second half of 2022 and in 2023. Where travel restrictions remain, which also includes a limited number of itineraries impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Company is adjusting itineraries where possible, and working with guests to reschedule travel plans and refund payments or issue future travel certificates, as applicable.
The Company believes there are a variety of strategic advantages that enable it to deploy its ships safely and quickly, while mitigating the risk of COVID-19 as travel restrictions are lifted. The most notable is the size of its owned and operated vessels which range from 48 to 148 passengers, allowing for a highly controlled environment that includes stringent cleaning protocols. The small nature of the Company’s ships also allows it to efficiently and effectively test its guests and crew prior to boarding, or as otherwise needed. Additionally, all guests age five and older, crew and staff are required to be fully vaccinated and the majority of expeditions take place in remote locations where human interactions are limited, so there is less opportunity for external influence.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had $126.9 million in unrestricted cash and $48.8 million in restricted cash primarily related to deposits on future travel originating from U.S. ports and credit card reserves.
As of June 30, 2022, the Company had a total debt position of $578.2 million and was in compliance with all of its debt covenants in effect. The Company estimates that it will be in compliance with all applicable covenants over the next 12 months.
During May 2022, the Company further amended its senior secured export credit agreements to extend the waiver of its net leverage coverage ratio from March 2022 through December 31, 2022.
On February 4, 2022, the Company issued $360.0 million of 6.75% senior secured notes, maturing 2027, and entered into a new $45.0 million revolving credit facility, including a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $5.0 million. Proceeds from the senior secured note issuance were used primarily to pay the outstanding borrowings under the Company's prior credit agreement, including the term facility, Main Street Loan and the revolving credit facility. The senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries and are collateralized by certain of the Company’s assets.
NOTE 2—EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per Common Share
Earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the two-class method related to its Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 (“Preferred Stock”). Under the two-class method, undistributed earnings available to stockholders for the period are allocated on a pro rata basis to the common stockholders and to the holders of the Preferred Stock based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and number of shares that could be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock.
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the dilutive incremental common shares associated with restricted stock awards and shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, using the treasury stock method, and the potential common shares that could be issued from conversion of the Preferred Stock, using the if-converted method. When a net loss occurs, potential common shares have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share and such shares are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.
For the three and sixmonths ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and 2021,2022, the Company incurred net losses from operations,available to stockholders, therefore basic and diluted net loss per share are the same forin each respective period. For the three and sixmonths ended June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, approximately 0.8 million unvested restricted shares, 1.41.9 million shares issuable upon exercise of options and 7.37.6 million common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock were excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares for the periodsperiod as they were anti-dilutive. For the three and sixmonths ended June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, 0.8 million unvested restricted shares, 1.5 million shares issuable upon exercise of options and 9.49.3 million common shares issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock were excluded from the calculation of dilutive potential common shares for the periodsperiod as they were anti-dilutive.

NOTE 3—REVENUES
Customer Deposits and Contract Liabilities
The Company’s guests remit deposits in advance of tour embarkation. Guest deposits consist of guest ticket revenues as well as revenues from the sale of pre- and post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, land-based expeditions and certain air transportation to and from the ships.transportation. Guest deposits represent unearned revenues and are reported as unearned passenger revenues in the condensed consolidated balance sheets when received and are subsequently recognized as tour revenue over the duration of the trip. Accounting Standards Codification, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) defines a “contract liability” as an entity’sexpedition. Contract liabilities represent the Company's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entityCompany has received consideration from the customer. The Company does not consider guest deposits to be a contract liability until the guest no longer has the right, resulting from the passage of time, to cancel their reservation and receive a full refund. In conjunction with the suspension or rescheduling of expeditions, the Company provided guests an option of either a refund or future travel certificates, which in some instances exceeded the original cash deposit. The Company has recorded liabilities up to the amount of cash deposits. The additional value of any future travel certificates arein excess of cash received is being recognized as a discount when applied to future expeditions. The change in contract liabilities withintour revenues at the time the related expedition occurs. Future travel certificates are valued based on the Company’s expectation that a guest will travel again. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company has recorded $249.6 million and $245.1 million, related to unearned passenger revenues presented in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are as follows:revenue, respectively.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses in excess of 5% of current liabilities.are as follows:
In 2021, the Company received a $27.0 million grant under the CERTS Act, which provided grants to eligible motorcoach, school bus, passenger vessel, and pilotage companies that have experienced annual revenue losses of 25 percent or more as result of COVID-19. The priority use of grant funds was required to be for payroll costs, though grants could be used for operating expenses and the repayment of debt accrued to maintain payroll. The Company had accounted for the grant as a current liability on its balance sheet, as any amounts not appropriately used within one year of the grant date would have to be returned to the U.S. Treasury and, as permitted expenses for the grant were incurred the corresponding amounts were recognized in other income on the income statement. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized the remaining $11.6 million of the CERTS grant in other income for permitted payroll costs and ship operating expenses, and as of June 30, 2022, has no further liability recorded for the grant.

NOTE 6—FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company’s derivative assets and liabilities consist principally of foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate caps and are carried at fair value based on significant observable inputs (Level 2 inputs). Derivatives entered into by the Company are typically executed over-the-counter and are valued using internal valuation techniques, as quoted market prices are not readily available. The valuation technique and inputs depend on the type of derivative and the nature of the underlying exposure. The Company principally uses discounted cash flows along with fair value models that primarily use market observable inputs. These models take into account a variety of factors including, where applicable, maturity, currency exchange rates, interest rate yield curves and counterparty credit risks.
Currency Risk. The Company uses currency exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to changes in currency exchange rates associated with certain of its non-U.S. dollar denominated receivables and payables. The Company primarily economically hedges a portion of its current-year currency exposure to the Canadian and New Zealand dollars, the Brazilian Real, the South African Rand, the Euro and the British pound sterling. The fluctuations in the value of these forward contracts largely offset the impact of changes in the value of the underlying risk they economically hedge.
Interest Rate Risk. The Company previously used interest rate caps to manage the risk related to its previously existing variable rate corporate debt.
The Company recorded the effective portion of changes in the fair value of its cash flow hedges to other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, and subsequently reclassified these amounts into earnings in the period during which the hedged transaction was recognized. Any changes in fair values of hedges that are determined to be ineffective are immediately reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings. The Company reclassified $0.6 million from other comprehensive income (loss) to earnings for the period ended March 31, 2022 due to the termination of a cash flow hedge relationship between the Company’s interest rate caps and the Company’s underlying corporate variable rate debt, which was repaid during February 2022.

In connection with the acquisition of Classic Journeys, the purchase agreement includes a contingent consideration earnout, see Note 11—Acquisitions, which is required to be recorded at fair value at each period. The possible contingent acquisition consideration earnout is either 0 or $0.6 million, depending on the achievement of certain average annual net profits targets for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2023 by the acquired operation. As of June 30, 2022, the contingent liability had a value of $0.3 million using a Level 3 valuation method, which was recorded in other long-term liabilities.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the approximate fair value of its long-term debt to be $483.6 million as of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023 to be $541.8 million based on the terms of the agreements and comparable market data as of June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023. As of June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the Company had no other significant liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

NOTE 12—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
The Company has controlling interests in its Natural Habitat, Off the Beaten Path, DuVine and Classic Journeys consolidated subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interests are subject to put/call agreements. The put options enable the minority holders, but do not obligate them, to sell the remaining interests to the Company. The Company has call options which enable it, but does not obligate it, to acquire the remaining interests in the subsidiaries, subject to certain dates, expirations and similar redemption value purchase measurements as the put options.
Since the redemption of the noncontrolling interests are not solely in the Company’s control, the Company is required to record the redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of stockholders’ equity but after its total liabilities. In addition, if it is probable that the instrument will become redeemable, as such solely due to the passage of time, the redeemable noncontrollable interest should be adjusted to the redemption value via one of two measurement methods. The Company elected the income classification-excess adjustment and accretion methods for recognizing changes in the redemption value of the put options. Under this methodology, a calculation of the present value of the redemption value is compared to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest and the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is adjusted to the redemption value’s present value. Any adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, up to the redemption value of the noncontrolling interest, are classified to retained earnings. Adjustments in excess of the redemption value of the noncontrolling interest, are treated as a decrease to net income available to common stockholders.
The redemption value of the put options were determined using a discounted cash flow model. The redemption values were adjusted to their present value using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital.

Business Overview
We provide expedition cruising and land-based adventure travel fostering a spirit of exploration and discovery, using itineraries featuring up-close encounters with wildlife and nature, history and culture and promote guest empowerment, human connections and interactivity. Our mission is to offer life-changing adventures around the world and pioneering innovative ways to allow our guests to connect with exotic and remote places.
We currently operate a fleet of ten owned expedition ships and five seasonal charter vessels under the Lindblad Expeditions, LLC (“Lindblad”) brand. Each expedition ship is fully equipped with state-of-the-art tools for in-depth exploration and the majority of our expeditions involve travel to remote places, such as voyages to the Arctic, Antarctic, the Galápagos Islands, Alaska, Baja’s Sea of Cortez, the South Pacific, Costa Rica and Panama. We have a longstanding relationship with the National Geographic Society (“National Geographic”) dating back to 2004, which is based on a shared interest in exploration, research, technology and conservation. This relationship includes a co-selling, co-marketing and branding arrangement whereby our owned vessels carry the National Geographic name and National Geographic sells our expeditions through its internal travel division. We collaborate with National Geographic on voyage planning to enhance the guest experience by having National Geographic experts, including photographers, writers, marine biologists, naturalists, field researchers and film crews, join our expeditions. Guests are able to interface with these experts through lectures, excursions, dining and other experiences throughout their voyage.
We operate land-based nature adventure travel expeditions around the globe, with unique itineraries designed to offer intimate encounters with nature and the planet’s wild destinations and the animals and people who live there.
Natural Habitat, Inc. (“Natural Habitat”) provides eco-conscious expeditions and nature-focused, small-group experiences that include polar bear tours in Churchill, Canada, Alaskan grizzly bear adventures, small-group Galápagos Islands tours and African safaris. Natural Habitat has partnered with World Wildlife Fund (“WWF”) to offer conservation travel, which is sustainable travel that contributes to the protection of nature and wildlife.
DuVine Cycling + Adventure Company (“DuVine”) provides intimate cycling adventures and travel experiences, led by expert guides, with a focus on connecting with local character and culture, including high-quality local cuisine and accommodations. International cycling tours include the exotic Costa Rican rainforests, the rocky coasts of Ireland and the vineyards of Spain, while cycling adventures in the United States include cycling beneath the California redwoods, pedaling through Vermont farmland and wine tastings in the world-class vineyards of Napa and Sonoma.

We operate two segments including the Lindblad segment, which consists of the operations of our Lindblad brand, and the Land Experiences segment, consisting of our Natural Habitat, DuVine, Off the Beaten Path and Classic Journeys brands.
20222023 Highlights
During the secondfirst quarter 2022, all ten of our owned vessels were in operations, providingwe provided immersive expeditions to our guests across all of our ships including voyages to Alaska, the Arctic,Antarctica, Patagonia, Baja California’s Sea of Cortez, the Galápagos Islands, Iceland, NorwayCentral America, Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific and the Balticelsewhere and North Seas.
During May 2022, we amended our senior secured credit agreements to, among other things, extend the waiver of the net leverage ratio covenant through December 31, 2022.
During February 2022, we issued $360.0generated $143.4 million of 6.75% senior secured notes due 2027in revenue, $12.5 million in operating income and entered into a new $45.0$27.2 million revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn and matures February 2027. We used the proceeds from the notes to prepay in full all outstanding borrowings under our prior term loan, including the Main Street Loan, and revolving credit facility, and paid all related premiums, terminating in full our existing credit agreement and the commitments thereunder.
During February 2022, our cupos necessary for tours in the Galápagos Islands were contractually renewed for a 20-year period.
Ramp of Fleet Operations and COVID-19 Business Update
During the second quarter of 2022, we continued to ramp up our operations, providing expeditions to guests on all ten owned vessels, including trips to Alaska, the Arctic, the Galápagos Islands, Iceland, Norway and the Baltic and North Seas. Due to the spread of the COVID-19 virus and the effects of travel restrictions around the world, we suspended or rescheduled the majority of our expeditions departing between March 16, 2020 through May 31, 2021. Travel restrictions related to COVID-19 have diminished dramatically and we continue to work with local authorities on plans to operate itineraries in additional geographies during the second half of 2022 and in 2023. Where travel restrictions remain, which now also includes a limited number of itineraries impacted by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, we are adjusting itineraries where possible, and working with guests to reschedule travel plans and refund payments or issue future travel certificates, as applicable.
We believe there are a variety of strategic advantages that enable us to deploy our ships safely and quickly, while mitigating the risk of COVID-19 as travel restrictions are lifted. The most notable is the size of our owned and operated vessels which range from 48 to 148 passengers, allowing for a highly controlled environment that includes stringent cleaning protocols. The small nature of our ships also allows us to efficiently and effectively test our guests and crew prior to boarding, or as otherwise needed. Additionally, all guests age five and older, crew and staff are required to be fully vaccinated and the majority of expeditions take place in remote locations where human interactions are limited, so there is less opportunity for external influence.
Bookings TrendsAdjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP financial measure defined below).
We have substantial advanced reservations for future travel despite some continued impact fromwith bookings for the COVID-19 virus, including, but not limited to, elevated cancellations and softness in near-term demand, as well as some impact related to itinerary changes due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Bookings forfull year 2023 are 26%45% ahead of the bookings for the full year 20202019 at the same point in 2019, which was prior to the pandemic.2019.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
AsDuring May, we issued $275.0 million of June 30, 2022, we had $126.9 million in unrestricted cash and $48.8 million in restricted cash9.00% senior secured notes, maturing 2028, with proceeds used primarily related to deposits on future travel originating from U.S. ports andpay the outstanding borrowings under our existing export credit card reserves.
Our total debt position was $578.2 million, and we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants currently in effect.
As we continue to ramp operations, our monthly cash usage will increase as we incur costs in operating expeditions, including the impact of higher fuel costs and inflation, and spending to market and advertise upcoming expeditions and trips. We also anticipate a significant increase in guest payments as we receive final payments for upcoming expeditions as well as deposits for new reservations for future travel. However, there can be no assurance that cash flows from operations will be available to fund future obligations or that we will not experience delays or cancellations with respect to the resumption of our operations.agreements.
The discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition are organized as follows:
● | a description of certain line items and operational and financial metrics we utilize to assist us in managing our business; | |
● | results and a comparable discussion of our consolidated and segment results of operations for the three |
● | a discussion of our liquidity and capital resources, including future capital and contractual commitments and potential funding sources; and | |

Financial Presentation
Description of Certain Line Items
Tour revenues
Tour revenues consist of the following:
● | Guest ticket revenues recognized from the sale of guest tickets; and | |
● | Other tour revenues from the sale of pre- or post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, air transportation to and from the ships and excursions, goods and services rendered onboard that are not included in guest ticket prices, trip insurance, and cancellation fees. |
Cost of tours
Cost of tours includes the following:
● | Direct costs associated with revenues, including cost of pre- or post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, and land-based expeditions, air and other transportation expenses, and cost of goods and services rendered onboard; | |
● | Payroll costs and related expenses for shipboard and expedition personnel; | |
● | Food costs for guests and crew, including complimentary food and beverage amenities for guests; | |
● | Fuel costs and related costs of delivery, storage and safe disposal of waste; and | |
● | Other tour expenses, such as land costs, port costs, repairs and maintenance, equipment expense, drydock, ship insurance, and charter hire costs. |
Selling and marketing
Selling and marketing expenses include commissions, royalties and a broad range of advertising and promotional expenses.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses include the cost of shoreside vessel support, reservations and other administrative functions, including salaries and related benefits, credit card commissions, professional fees and rent.
Operational and Financial Metrics
We use a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Net Yields, Occupancy and Net Cruise Costs, to enable us to analyze our performance and financial condition. We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe that they are the most relevant measures of performance. Some of these measures are commonly used in the cruise and tourism industry to evaluate performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight to assess revenue and cost performance, in addition to the standard GAAP-based financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for determining non-GAAP measures, and as such, they may not be comparable to measures used by other companies within the industry.
The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. You should read this discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto also included within.
Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, other income (expense), income tax (expense) benefit, (gain) loss on foreign currency, (gain) loss on transfer of assets, reorganization costs, and other supplemental adjustments. Other supplemental adjustments include certain non-operating items such as stock-based compensation, executive severance costs, the National Geographic fee amortization, debt refinancing costs, acquisition-related expenses and other non-recurring charges. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a useful measure as it reflects certain operating drivers of the business, such as sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense, and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA helps provide a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not 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 unearned passenger revenues, capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments, and tax payments. Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies within the industry.
The following metrics apply to our Lindblad segment:
Adjusted Net Cruise Cost represents Net Cruise Cost adjusted for non-GAAP other supplemental adjustments which include certain non-operating items such as stock-based compensation, the National Geographic fee amortization, and acquisition-related expenses.
Available Guest Nights is a measurement of capacity and represents double occupancy per cabin (except single occupancy for a single capacity cabin) multiplied by the number of cruise days for the period. We also record the number of guest nights available on our limited land programs in this definition.
Gross Cruise Cost represents the sum of cost of tours plus, selling and marketing expenses, and general and administrative expenses.
Gross Yield per Available Guest Night represents tour revenues less insurance proceeds divided by Available Guest Nights.
Guest Nights Sold represents the number of guests carried for the period multiplied by the number of nights sailed within the period.
Maximum Guests is a measure of capacity and represents the maximum number of guests in a period and is based on double occupancy per cabin (except single occupancy for a single capacity cabin).
Net Cruise Cost represents Gross Cruise Cost excluding commissions and certain other direct costs of guest ticket revenues and other tour revenues.
Net Cruise Cost Excluding Fuel represents Net Cruise Cost excluding fuel costs.
Net Yield represents tour revenues less insurance proceeds, commissions and direct costs of other tour revenues.
Net Yield per Available Guest Night represents Net Yield divided by Available Guest Nights.
Number of Guests represents the number of guests that travel with us in a period.
Occupancy is calculated by dividing Guest Nights Sold by Available Guest Nights.
Voyages represent the number of ship expeditions completed during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation
The U.S. dollar is the functional currency in our foreign operations and re-measurement adjustments and gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Seasonality
Traditionally, our Lindblad brand tour revenues are mildly seasonal, historically larger in the first and third quarters. The seasonality of our operating results fluctuates due to our vessels being taken out of service for scheduled maintenance or drydocking, which is typically during nonpeak demand periods, in the second and fourth quarters. Our drydock schedules are subject to cost and timing differences from year-to-year due to the availability of shipyards for certain work, drydock locations based on ship itineraries, operating conditions experienced especially in the polar regions and the applicable regulations of class societies in the maritime industry, which require more extensive reviews periodically. Drydocking impacts operating results by reducing tour revenues and increasing cost of tours. Our Natural Habitat, DuVine, Off the Beaten Path and Classic Journeys brands are seasonal businesses, with the majority of Natural Habitat’s tour revenue recorded in the third and fourth quarters from its summer season departures and polar bear tours, while the majority of Off the Beaten Path, DuVine and Classic Journeys’ revenues are recorded during the second and third quarters from their spring and summer season departures.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
The COVID-19 pandemic hasAs of March 31, 2023, the Company had a material negative impact$84.0 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $36.7 million in restricted cash primarily related to deposits on our operationsfuture travel originating from U.S. ports and financial results and, while we have substantially resumed operations, given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, plans and growth for the foreseeable future. credit card reserves.
As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we had approximately $578.2$560.0 million in long-term debt obligations, including the current portion of long-term debt. We believe that our cash on hand and expected future operating cash inflows will be sufficient to fund operations, debt service requirements and necessary capital expenditures, assuming that our operations continue to ramp as we currently expect.
As we continue to ramp operations, our monthly cash usage will continue to increase as we incur costs in operating additional expeditions and trips and increase spending to market and advertise upcoming expeditions and trips. We also anticipate a significant increase in guest payments as we receive final payments for upcoming expeditions and trips, as well as deposits for new reservations for future travel. However, there can be no assurance that cash flows from operations will be available to fund future obligations or that we will not experience delays or cancellations with respect to the resumption of our operations.expenditures.
Sources and Uses of Cash for the SixThree Months Ended June 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021
Net cash provided by operating activities was $18.6$2.1 million for the sixthree months ended June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 compared to $21.8$5.2 million for the same period in 2021.2022.

Funding Sources
Debt Facilities
6.75% Notes
On February 4, 2022, we issued $360.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) in a private offering. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year accruing from February 4, 2022, and interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on August 15, 2022.year. The Notes will mature on February 15, 2027, subject to earlier repurchase or redemption. We used the net proceeds from the offering to prepay in full all outstanding borrowings under our prior credit agreement, including the term facility, Main Street Loan, and revolving credit facility, to pay any related premiums and to terminate in full our prior credit agreement and the commitments thereunder. The Notes are senior secured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by us and certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and secured by first-priority pari passu liens, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions, on substantially all of our and the Guarantors’ assets. We may redeem the Notes at set redemption prices and premiums, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
The Notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness and make certain dividend payments, distributions, investments and other restricted payments. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the Notes.
New Revolving Credit Facility
On February 4, 2022, we entered into a new senior secured revolving credit facility (the “New Revolving“Revolving Credit Facility”), which provides for an aggregate principal amount of commitments of $45.0 million, maturing February 2027, including a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $5.0 million. The obligations under the New Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and the Guarantors and are secured by first-priority pari passu liens, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions, on substantially all the assets of the Company and the Guarantors. Borrowings under the New Revolving Credit Facility, if any, will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, an adjusted SOFR rate plus a spread or a base rate plus a spread.
The New Revolving Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as financial covenants and event of default provisions.
Senior Secured Credit Agreements
Our first senior secured credit agreement (the “First Export Credit Agreement”) made available a loan for the purpose of providing financing for up to 80% of the purchase price of our new polar ice class vessel, the National Geographic Endurance. During March 2020, upon delivery, we borrowed $107.7 million under the First Export Credit Agreement for the final contracted payment of the National Geographic Endurance.
Our second senior secured credit agreement (the “Second Export Credit Agreement”) made available a loan for the purpose of providing pre- and post-delivery financing for up to 80% of the purchase price of the National Geographic Resolution. We borrowed $122.8 million under the Second Export Credit Agreement, drawing approximately $30.5 million in 2019, $30.6 million in 2020 and $61.7 million in 2021, with the ship delivered in September 2021.
In June 2021, we amended our export credit agreements to, among other things, annualize EBITDA used in the covenant calculations through December 31, 2022. During May 2022, we amended our export credit agreements to extend the waiver of the total net leverage ratio covenant through December 31, 2022. Certain other covenants continue to be more restrictive during the extended covenant waiver period. We were in compliance with our covenants in effect as of June 30, 2022 and are expected to be in compliance for the next 12 months.
The First Export Credit Agreement, as amended, bears interest at a variable interest rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 3.50% per annum, or 5.22%8.65% over the borrowing period covering June 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.

We were in compliance with our covenants in effect as of March 31, 2023.
During April 2023, we issued $275.0 million of 9.00% senior secured notes, maturing 2028, with proceeds used primarily to pay the outstanding borrowings under our First and Second Export Credit Agreements. The senior secured notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by us and certain of our subsidiaries and are collateralized by certain of our assets.
Notes Payable

Bressler, the founder of Natural Habitat, with an outstanding principal amount of $0.8 million as of June 30, 2022. The promissory note accrues interest at a rate of 1.44% annually, with interest payable every six months and the remaining principal payment due on December 22, 2022.

Equity
Preferred Stock
In August 2020, we issued and sold 85,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001, (“Preferred Stock”) for $1,000 per share for gross proceeds of $85.0 million. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, 62,000 shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding. The Preferred Stock has senior and preferential ranking to our common stock. The Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends of 6.00% per annum, and for the first two years, the dividends will bewere paid-in-kind. After the second anniversary of the issuance date, the dividends may be paid-in-kind or be paid in cash at our option. The Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the holder’s election, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the then-current accrued value by the conversion price of $9.50. At the six-year anniversary of the closing date, each investor has the right to request that we repurchase their Preferred Stock, and any Preferred Stock not requested to be repurchased shall be converted into our common shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the then-current accrued value by the conversion price. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 18,000 shares of Preferred Stock and related accumulated dividends were converted by the holder into 2,109,561 shares of our common stock. As of June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the outstanding Preferred Stock and accumulated dividends could be converted, at the option of the holders, into approximately 7.37.6 million shares of our common stock.
Funding Needs
We generally rely on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of additional debt to fund obligations. A vast majority of guest ticket receipts are collected in advance of the applicable expedition date. These advance passenger receipts remain a current liability until the expedition date, and the cash generated from these advance receipts is used interchangeably with cash on hand from other cash from operations. The cash received as advanced receipts can be used to fund operating expenses for the applicable future expeditions or otherwise, pay down debt, make long-term investments or any other use of cash. Traditionally we run a working capital deficit due primarily to a large balance of unearned passenger revenues. As of June 30,March 31, 2023, we had a working capital deficit of $152.1 million, and as of December 31, 2022, we had a working capital deficit of $123.5 million, and as of December 31, 2021, we had a working capital deficit of $79.1$157.8 million.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. For a detailed discussion of theour Critical Accounting Policies, please see our 20212022 Annual Report, where we have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2022 Annual Report.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
There have been no material changes in our exposure to market risks from the information set forth in the “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” sections contained in our 20212022 Annual Report.
We are exposed to a market risk for interest rates related to our variable rate debt instruments. We assess our market risks based on changes in interest rates utilizing a sensitivity analysis that measures the potential impact on earnings and cash flows based on a hypothetical 100 basis point change in interest rates. For additional information regarding our long-term borrowings see Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included herein. Based on our June 30, 2022March 31, 2023 outstanding variable rate debt balance, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in LIBOR interest rates related to our variable interest rate debt instruments would impact our annual interest expense by approximately $2.2$2.0 million.
