NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIND; the “Company” or “Lindblad”), a global provider of expedition cruises and adventure travel experiences, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Natalya Leahy, Chief Executive Officer, said “Our second-quarter results once again demonstrate the strength of our strategy and the focused execution of our team. We achieved another record second-quarter net yield of $1,294 and 91% occupancy, our strongest second-quarter occupancy in a decade, while increasing capacity by 12%. Adjusted EBITDA increased 31%, and margins expanded despite higher fuel costs. These results reinforce our confidence in the company’s ability to deliver sustainable long-term growth and value creation.”

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Tour Revenues

Second quarter tour revenues of $199.2 million increased $31.3 million, or 19%, as compared to the same period in 2025. The increase was driven by an $18.2 million increase at the Lindblad segment and a $13.1 million increase at the Land Experiences segment.

Lindblad segment tour revenues of $129.2 million increased $18.2 million, or 16%, compared to the second quarter a year ago primarily due to a 4% increase in net yield per available guest night to $1,294 driven by an increase in occupancy to 91% from 86% in the second quarter a year ago.

Land Experiences tour revenues of $70.0 million increased $13.1 million, or 23%, compared to the second quarter a year ago primarily due to operating additional trips and higher pricing. 

Net Loss

Net loss available to stockholders for the second quarter was $1.4 million, $0.02 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss available to stockholders of $9.7 million, $0.18 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2025. The $8.3 million decrease in net loss primarily reflects improved operating results, despite a $3.4 million benefit related to employee retention tax credits in the prior year, and the absence of a preferred stock dividend compared to the $1.2 million preferred stock dividend in the same period in 2025. 

Adjusted EBITDA

Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $32.5 million increased $7.6 million as compared to the same period in 2025 driven by a $6.1 million increase at the Lindblad segment and $1.5 million at the Land Experiences segment.

Lindblad segment Adjusted EBITDA of $22.5 million increased $6.1 million as compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to increased tour revenues, partially offset by higher cost of tours related to an increase in voyages and higher fuel costs, increased sales and marketing costs, primarily due to increased royalties associated with the final royalty rate step-up under the National Geographic agreement, higher marketing spend to drive long-term growth initiatives, and the benefit of employee retention tax credits received in prior year.

Land Experiences segment Adjusted EBITDA of $10.0 million increased $1.5 million as compared to the same period in 2025, due to increased tour revenues, partially offset by increased operating and personnel costs related to increased trips, higher marketing spend to drive future growth, and the benefit of employee retention tax credits received in prior year.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $364.9 million as of June 30, 2026, as compared with $289.7 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase primarily reflects $108.5 million of net cash provided by operating activities, due primarily to increased bookings for future travel, which was partially offset by $14.9 million in cash used in purchasing property and equipment and $19.8 million used to acquire an additional 5% ownership of Natural Habitat and an additional 9.9% ownership of Classic Journeys.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had a total debt position of $675.0 million and was in compliance with all of its applicable debt covenants.

2026 OUTLOOK 

The Company’s current expectations for the full year 2026 are as follows:

  • Tour revenues of $830 – $860 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $130 – $140 million

STOCK REPURCHASE PLAN

The Company currently has a $35.0 million stock repurchase plan in place. As of July 31, 2026, the Company had repurchased 875,218 shares and 6.0 million warrants under the plan for a total of $23.0 million and had $12.0 million remaining under the plan. As of July 27, 2026, there were 65.6 million shares common stock outstanding.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The Company uses a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Occupancy, Net Yields and Net Cruise Costs, to enable it to analyze its performance and financial condition. The Company utilizes these financial measures to manage its business on a day-to-day basis and believes 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. The Company believes 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. The definitions of non-GAAP financial measures along with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information to GAAP are included in the supplemental financial schedules.

A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is not provided because the Company cannot estimate or predict with reasonable certainty certain discrete tax items, which could significantly impact that financial measure.

Operational and Financial Metrics


Adjusted EBITDA
is defined by us as, net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, foreign currency gains or losses and other certain non-operating items. Other non-operating items excluded, include such items as stock-based compensation, reorganization costs, executive severance costs, 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 to evaluate operating performance and trends. We believe this measure provides additional insight into underlying operating results by excluding items that may not be indicative of ongoing performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures such as net income or cash flows from operations. Our definition and use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The following metrics apply to the 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 and acquisition-related expenses.


Available Guest Nights
is a measurement of capacity available for sale and represents double occupancy per cabin (except single occupancy for a single capacity cabin) multiplied by the number of cruise days for the period. 


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 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.
