ROYAL CARIBBEAN REPORTS RECORD EARNINGS
MIAMI —February 2, 2006 — Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (NYSE, OSE: RCL).
Key Highlights
| • | Second consecutive year of record earnings with net income of $716.0 million, or $3.26 per share, and net income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle of $663.5 million, or $3.03 per share. | ||
| • | Significantly improved fourth quarter 2005 performance of a $3.6 million net loss, or $0.02 per share, as compared to a $25.8 million net loss, or $0.13 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2004. | ||
| • | Fourth quarter yields were up 8.2% which was significantly better than expected due to a surge in demand which drove higher prices, as well as strong onboard revenues. | ||
| • | Fourth quarter Net Cruise Costs benefited from a drop in fuel prices during the quarter and across the board cost control efforts. | ||
| • | For the full year 2006, the company expects Net Yields to increase 2% to 4% and earnings per share to be $2.95 to $3.15. | ||
| • | For the first quarter 2006, the company expects Net Yields to increase 1% to 2%, and earnings per share to be $0.45 to $0.50. |
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. today announced a net loss for the fourth quarter of 2005 of $3.6 million, or $0.02 per share, compared to a net loss of $25.8 million, or $0.13 per share, for the fourth quarter of 2004. Revenues for the fourth quarter of 2005 increased 6.7% to $1,029.6 million from revenues of $964.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2004. Gross Yields and Net Yields for the fourth quarter of 2005 increased 6.1% and 8.2%, respectively, from the fourth quarter of 2004.
Our fourth quarter results were substantially better than expected, driven by the following principal factors:
| • | Net Yields increased 8.2% over the fourth quarter of 2004. Toward the end of the quarter, there was a surge in demand for late bookings which drove higher ticket prices. Onboard revenues were exceptionally strong as well. | ||
| • | Gross Cruise Costs and Net Cruise Costs, on a per APCD basis, increased 5.3% and 7.6%, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2004. |
| • | Fuel accounted for 7.0 percentage points of the increase in Net Cruise Costs. Fuel prices fell shortly after our last earnings release in October 2005 and energy conservation efforts were successful. Our “at-the-pump” fuel price averaged $424 per metric ton, compared to previous guidance of $450 per metric ton, and $293 per metric ton in the fourth quarter of 2004. | ||
| • | Non-fuel costs did particularly well. They were up only 0.6 percentage points due to across-the-board cost control improvements in virtually every area of the business. |
For the year, the company reported record net income of $716.0 million, or $3.26 per share, on revenues of $4.9 billion, compared to net income of $474.7 million, or $2.26 per share, on revenues of $4.6 billion for 2004. Net income before cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle was $663.5 million, or $3.03 per share. The change in accounting principle resulted in a one-time gain of $52.5 million, or $0.22 per share, to recognize the cumulative effect on prior years of a change in our method of accounting for drydocking costs
Some of the key highlights of the year as a whole were as follows:
| • | Net Yields increased 7.4% primarily due to higher ticket prices and better onboard revenues. | ||
| • | Gross Cruise Costs and Net Cruise Costs, on a per APCD basis, increased 5.1% and 6.3%, respectively, compared to 2004. Most of the increase was due to higher fuel costs, which increased $116 million over the previous year and accounted for 4.7 percentage points of the increase in Net Cruise Costs. |

“This has been a very good quarter for the company and tops off another excellent year,” said Richard D. Fain, chairman and chief executive officer. “It is unusual that everything comes together so well as it did this quarter, but it certainly feels good when it does.”
Outlook — Full Year 2006
While only four weeks of the industry’s “wave period” is completed, bookings and pricing levels continue to be solid. As a result, the company currently forecasts Net Yields for the full year 2006 will increase in the range of 2% to 4% compared to 2005.
While only four weeks of the industry’s “wave period” is completed, bookings and pricing levels continue to be solid. As a result, the company currently forecasts Net Yields for the full year 2006 will increase in the range of 2% to 4% compared to 2005.
Our current “at-the-pump” fuel price is $425 per metric ton, which is 19% higher than the average price for 2005 of $358 per metric ton. If fuel prices for the rest of the year remain at today’s level, the company estimates that its 2006 fuel costs (net of hedging and fuel savings initiatives) will increase approximately $90 million. This is substantially better than the level the company calculated as part of its last guidance. The main reasons for the improvement include the fall in at-the-pump pricing, and the anticipated benefits of energy conservation initiatives and enhancements in types and sourcing of fuels.
Commencing with the first quarter of 2006, the company will adopt the new stock-based compensation accounting standard and begin expensing stock options, which is expected to increase 2006 full year expenses by $12 million.
Based on the above, the company estimates that Net Cruise Costs per APCD for 2006 will increase in the range of 3% to 5% as compared to the prior year. Higher fuel costs account for 3.0 to 4.0 percentage points of this increase. Additionally, 2006 is another year of minimal capacity increases. Capacity will grow more substantially in 2007 and beyond, providing the company with improved economies of scale to offset normal cost increases.
Depreciation and amortization is expected to be in the range of $425 to $445 million and net interest expense is expected to be in the range of $245 to $265 million.
In late January 2006, the company partially settled its previously announced lawsuit against Rolls Royce and Alstom Power Conversion, co-producers of the Mermaid pod-propulsion system on its Millennium-class ships, for the Mermaid pod problems. Under the terms of the
3 of 11
partial settlement, Alstom paid the company $38 million, or $0.16 per share, and the company released Alstom from the suit which remains pending against Rolls Royce. The partial settlement will be recorded in the first quarter of 2006.
Based upon the expectations and assumptions contained in this outlook section (including the legal settlement of $0.16 per share), management expects full year 2006 earnings per share to be in the range of $2.95 to $3.15.
Outlook — First Quarter 2006
Expectations for the first quarter of 2006 are somewhat different than the full year due to seasonal revenue patterns and the timing of certain expenses. The company expects Net Yields for the first quarter of 2006 will increase in the range of 1% to 2% compared to the first quarter of 2005.

The company estimates that Net Cruise Costs per APCD for the first quarter of 2006 will increase in the range of 12% to 13% compared to the same quarter in 2005. Some of this is due to the increase in Net Cruise Costs discussed above, and some to the timing of certain expenses. The primary drivers are as follows:
| • | Higher fuel costs account for approximately 7.0 to 8.0 percentage points of the increase. Our current “at-the-pump” fuel price is $425 per metric ton, which is 50% higher than the average price for the first quarter of 2005 of $284 per metric ton. If fuel prices for the rest of the quarter remain at today’s level, the company estimates that its first quarter 2006 fuel costs (net of hedging and fuel savings initiatives) will increase approximately $45 million. | ||
| • | Timing of refurbishment expenses due to a larger portion of annual drydocks scheduled in the first quarter. | ||
| • | Timing of SG & A expenses mainly due to rescheduling of marketing expenses. |
Based upon the expectations and assumptions contained in this outlook section (including the legal settlement of $0.16 per share), management expects first quarter 2006 earnings per share to be in the range of $0.45 to $0.50.
