Royal Caribbean (RCL) to Post Q3 Earnings: What's in Store?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Royal Caribbean Group (RCL - Free Report) is scheduled to report its third-quarter 2022 results on Nov 3, before the opening bell. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a positive earnings surprise of 6.7%.
Q3 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company's third-quarter bottom line is pegged at 23 cents per share. In the prior-year quarter, the company reported a loss per share of $4.91. The consensus mark for revenues stands at $3 billion, suggesting a whopping 557.6% surge from the year-ago reported figure.
Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Price and EPS Surprise
Royal Caribbean’s third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from strong demand for leisure travel and cruising, improved booking trends and solid onboard spending. An increase in ticket revenues, and onboard and other revenues are likely to have aided the top line.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter passenger ticket revenues, and onboard and other revenues is currently pegged at $2,042 million and $933 million, respectively, indicating $280 million and $177 million growth from the respective prior-year quarter’s reported figures. Increased penetration of pre-cruise purchases is likely to have driven RCL’s onboard revenue performance in the to-be-reported quarter.
However, China, which is closed to international travelers, is likely to have hurt its performance. On the other hand, supply-chain constraints, transitory costs related to health and safety protocols and elevated expenses (including fuel and food) are likely to negatively impact the results.
The company has also anticipated the hurdles that can weigh on its 2022 earnings. For the second half of 2022, net cruise costs, excluding fuel per APCD, are likely to be higher by mid-single digits compared with 2019. The third quarter is expected to be higher.
