Leonard Fluxman stated further: “As we begin fiscal 2020, we remain excited about the opportunities to continue our successful expansion. Our priorities are focused on delivering innovative treatments, products and services to consumers through our health and wellness facilities at sea and at our destination resort spas on land. In addition to growing revenues through new ship introductions, the year will include several firsts, such as new recovery treatments, exclusive fitness programs and expansion in the availability ofmedi-spa services, which we expect to drive onboard revenue. Overall, we remain confident in our ability to continue to capitalize on the strength of our operating platform and advantageous business model to drive strong growth for the benefit of OneSpaWorld stakeholders.”
“The outbreak of the coronavirus continues to dominate the headlines and we are closely monitoring the situation to first and foremost ensure the safety of our employees as well as plan for business continuity. Currently, there are no suspected or confirmed coronavirus cases for any OneSpaWorld employee. The guidance that we are providing includes only the known impact in the first quarter. However, the situation remains fluid and continues to evolve, and therefore we are unable to determine the full impact on guidance to fiscal year 2020 beyond the first quarter, Mr. Fluxman concluded.”
