Contracts denominated in foreign currencies have been fixed into U.S.
Dollars through the utilization of forward currency contracts. In connection
with the vessels under contract for construction described above, the Company
has paid $239 million through May 31, 1995 and anticipates paying $574 million
during the twelve month period ended May 31, 1996 and approximately $1.7
billion beyond May 31, 1996. The Imagination was delivered in June 1995 and
began service July 1, 1995.
Litigation
In the normal course of business, various claims and lawsuits have been
filed or are pending against the Company. The majority of these claims and
lawsuits are covered by insurance. Management believes the outcome of any
such suits which are not covered by insurance would not have a material
adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Company earns its revenues primarily from (i) the sale of passenger
tickets, which includes accommodations, meals, airfare and substantially all
shipboard activities, and (ii) the sale of goods and services on board its
cruise ships, such as casino gaming, liquor sales, gift shop sales and other
related services. Collectively, such revenues are referred to herein as
"Cruise revenues". The Company also derives revenues from tour operations
("Tour revenues").

The Company's different businesses experience varying degrees of
seasonality. The Company's revenue from the sale of passenger tickets for
Carnival Cruise Lines' ("Carnival") ships is moderately seasonal.
Historically, demand for Carnival cruises has been greater during the periods
from late December through April and late June through August. Holland
America Line ("HAL") cruise revenues are more seasonal than Carnival's cruise
revenues. Demand for HAL cruises is strongest during the summer months when
HAL ships operate in Alaska. Demand for HAL cruises is lower during the
winter months when HAL ships sail in the more competitive Caribbean market.
The Company's tour revenues are extremely seasonal with a large majority of
tour revenues generated during the late spring and summer months in
conjunction with the Alaska cruise season.
Six Months Ended May 31, 1995 Compared
To Six Months Ended May 31, 1994
Revenues
The increase in total revenues of $78.0 million from the first half of 1994
to the first half of 1995 was comprised primarily of a $75.8 million, or 9.9%,
increase in cruise revenues for the period. The increase in cruise revenues
was primarily the result of a 11.8% increase in capacity for the period
resulting from the addition of HAL's cruise ship Ryndam in October 1994 and
Carnival's Fascination in July 1994. Also affecting cruise revenues were
slightly lower gross passenger per diems and occupancy rates. The gross
passenger per diems decreased primarily due to a reduction in the percentage
of passengers electing the Company's air program. When a passenger elects to
purchase his/her own air transportation, rather than use the Company's air
program, both the Company's cruise revenues and operating expenses decrease by
approximately the same amount. The reduction in occupancy rates reflect
reduced occupancy levels for Holland America Line in the Caribbean partially
offset by increased occupancy levels for Carnival Cruise Lines.
Passenger cruise days (one passenger sailing for a period of one day is one
passenger day) are expected to increase during the next fiscal quarter as
compared to the same period in 1994 as a result of additional capacity
provided from the delivery of the Fascination in July 1994, the Ryndam in
September 1994, and the Imagination which was delivered in June 1995. Due to
the delivery of the Imagination, the Company's capacity is also expected to
increase for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1995.
In June 1995, a fire, which was quickly extinguished, broke out in the
engine control room on the Celebration. There were no injuries to passengers
or crew, however, there was damage to one of the vessel's electrical control
panels. The time necessary to complete repairs to the Celebration as a result
of this incident will partially offset the capacity increases in the third
quarter of 1995 discussed in the preceding paragraph. Although the evaluation
of the total costs of this incident onboard the Celebration has not been
completed, management believes the impact on earnings in the third quarter of
1995 could approximate up to $14 million or five cents per share.
Revenues from the Company's Tour operations increased $1.8 million, or
4.8%, to $38.8 million in 1995 from $37.1 million in 1994. The increase was
primarily the result of an increase in the transportation revenues generated
by the Gray Line of Alaska tour and motorcoach operations.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses increased $37.1 million, or 7.8%, from the first half of
1994 to the first half of 1995. Cruise operating costs increased by $36.4
million, or 8.2%, to $481.3 million in the first half of 1995 from $444.9
million in the first half of 1994, primarily due to additional costs
associated with the increased capacity in the first half of 1995. Tour
operating expenses remained essentially unchanged.
Selling and administrative costs increased $16.2 million, or 15.0%,
primarily due to a 29.6% increase in advertising expenses during the first
half of 1995 as compared with the same period of 1994.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $9.3 million, or 17.7%, to $62.0
million in the first half of 1995 from $52.7 million in the first half of 1994
primarily due to the addition of the Ryndam and the Fascination.
Other Income (Expense)
Total other expense (net of other income) of $15.9 million increased in the
first half of 1995 from $14.9 million in the first half of 1994. Interest
income increased $3.2 million primarily due to the recognition of interest
income related to the sale of Crystal Palace and higher interest rates.
Interest expense increased to $41.5 million in the first half of 1995 from
$34.5 million in the first half of 1994 primarily as a result of increased
debt levels and higher interest rates on variable rate debt. The increased
debt levels were the result of expenditures made in connection with the
ongoing construction and delivery of new cruise ships. Capitalized interest
decreased to $8.1 million in the first half of 1995 from $9.6 million in the
first half of 1994 due to lower levels of investments in vessels under
construction. Other income increased to $5.2 million in the first half of
1995 primarily as a result of a gain on the sale of the Company's entire
interest in Epirotiki Cruise Line and certain other non-related, non-recurring
items.
Three Months Ended May 31, 1995 Compared
To Three Months Ended May 31, 1994
Revenues
The increase in total revenues of $43.4 million from the second quarter of
1994 to the second quarter of 1995 was comprised primarily of a $41.6 million,
or 10.8%, increase in cruise revenues for the period. The increase in cruise
revenues was primarily the result of a 13.4% increase in capacity for the
period resulting from the addition of HAL's cruise ship Ryndam in October 1994
and Carnival's Fascination in July 1994. Also affecting cruise revenues were
slightly lower gross passenger per diems and occupancy rates. The gross
passenger per diems decreased primarily due to a reduction in the percentage
of passengers electing the Company's air travel. When a passenger elects to
purchase their own air transportation, rather than use the Company's air
program, both the Company's cruise revenues and operating expenses decrease by
approximately the same amount. The lower occupancy rates reflect reduced
occupancy levels for Holland America Line in the Caribbean partially offset by
increased occupancy levels for Carnival Cruise Lines.
Revenues from the Company's Tour operations increased $1.4 million, or
4.7%, to $31.6 million in 1995 from $30.1 million in 1994. The increase was
primarily the result of an increase in the transportation revenues generated
by the Gray Line of Alaska tour and motorcoach operations.
Costs and Expenses
Operating expenses increased $20.1 million, or 8.2%, from the second
quarter of 1994 to the second quarter of 1995. Cruise operating costs
increased by $20.5 million, or 9.2%, to $243.8 million in the second quarter
of 1995 from $223.4 million in the second quarter of 1994, primarily due to
additional costs associated with the increased capacity in the second quarter
of 1995. Tour operating expenses remained essentially unchanged.
Selling and administrative costs increased $8.5 million, or 16.5%,
primarily due to a 37.8% increase in advertising expenses during the second
quarter of 1995 as compared with the same quarter of 1994.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.3 million, or 16.5%, to $30.5
million in the second quarter of 1995 from $26.2 million in the second quarter
of 1994 primarily due to the addition of the Ryndam and the Fascination.
Other Income (Expense)
Total other expense (net of other income) of $6.5 million decreased in the
second quarter of 1995 from $7.9 million in the second quarter of 1994.
Interest income increased $3.2 million primarily due to the recognition of
interest income related to notes from the sale of Crystal Palace and increased
interest rates. Interest expense increased to $20.1 million in the second
quarter of 1995 from $17.0 million in the second quarter of 1994 primarily as
a result of increased debt levels and higher interest rates on variable rate
debt. The increased debt levels were the result of expenditures made in
connection with the ongoing construction and delivery of new cruise ships.
Capitalized interest decreased to $4.3 million in the second quarter of 1995
from $5.3 million in the second quarter of 1994 due to lower levels of advance
payments for vessels under construction. Other income increased to $3.8
million in the second quarter of 1995 primarily as a result of a gain on the
sale of the Company's entire interest in Epirotiki Cruise Line and certain
other non-related, non-recurring items.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Sources and Uses of Cash
The Company's business provided $311.2 million of net cash from operations
during the six months ended May 31, 1995, an increase of 7.4% compared to the
corresponding period in 1994. The increase between periods was primarily the
result of an increase in net income and advance customer deposits.
During the six months ended May 31, 1995, the Company made cash
expenditures of approximately $75.9 million on capital projects of which $23
million was spent on the purchase of the Company's existing corporate
headquarters facility located in Miami, Florida and $32 million was spent in
connection with its ongoing shipbuilding program. The remainder was spent on
vessel refurbishments, tour assets and other equipment.
In April 1995, the Company received $47 million of net proceeds from the
sale of 2.1 million shares of Class A Common Stock by the Company pursuant to
the underwriters exercise of an overallotment option in a secondary offering
by certain shareholders of the Company. Also, in May 1995, the Company issued
$100 million of 7.05% Notes Due May 15, 2005 and received approximately $99.2
million in cash proceeds net of underwriting fees and other costs, which was
used as described below.
The Company also made scheduled principal payments totalling approximately
$39.7 million under various individual vessel mortgage loans and repaid the
outstanding balance on the $750 million revolving credit facility due 1999
(the "$750 Million Revolving Credit Facility") during the six months ended May
31, 1995.
During the six months ended May 31, 1995, the Company declared and paid
cash dividends of approximately $42.5 million.
In June 1995 the Company took delivery of the Imagination. The Company
paid $235 million in cash, $100 million was provided from the 7.05% Notes Due
May 15, 2005, $101 million was drawn from the Company's $750 million Revolving
Credit Facility, and the remaining $34 million was provided from the Company's
treasury.
Future Commitments
Excluding the Imagination, which was delivered in June 1995, the Company
has contracts for the delivery of seven new vessels over the next four years.
The Company will pay approximately $340 million, during the twelve month
period ending May 31, 1996 relating to the construction and delivery of those
new cruise ships and approximately $1.7 billion beyond May 31 , 1996. See
Note 5 in the accompanying financial statements for more information related
to commitments for the construction of cruise ships. In addition, the
Company has $1.1 billion of long-term debt and convertible notes of which $79
million is due during the twelve month period ending May 31, 1996. See Note 3
in the accompanying financial statements for more information regarding the
Company's debt.
Funding Sources
Cash from operations is expected to be the Company's principal source of
capital to fund its debt service requirements and ship construction costs. In
addition, the Company may fund a portion of the construction cost of new ships
from borrowings under the $750 Million Revolving Credit Facility and/or
through the issuance of long-term debt in the public or private markets. One
of the Company's subsidiaries also has a $25 million line of credit. Following
the borrowing of the final $101 million payment for the Imagination in June
1995, $649 million was available for borrowing by the Company under the $750
Million Revolving Credit Facility.
To the extent that the Company should require or choose to fund future
capital commitments from sources other than operating cash or from borrowings
under the $750 Million Revolving Credit Facility, the Company believes that it
will be able to secure such financing from banks or through the offering of
debt and/or equity securities in the public or private markets. In this
regard, the Company has filed two Registration Statements on Form S-3 (the
"Shelf Registration") relating to a shelf offering of up to $500 million
aggregate principal amount of debt or equity securities. Through May 1995,
the Company has issued $100 million of unsecured notes due July 2004 bearing
interest at 7.7% per annum, $30 million of five to ten-year notes bearing
interest at rates ranging from 5.95% to 7% per annum, and $100 million of
unsecured notes due May 15, 2005 bearing interest at 7.05% per annum. A
balance of $270 million aggregate principal amount of debt or equity
securities remains available for issuance under the Shelf Registration.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In 1986 a lawsuit was filed in Federal District Court by the American
Association of Cruise Passengers ("AACP") against the Company, Holland America
Line-Westours, Inc., ten other cruise lines, the Cruise Lines Int'l
Association ("CLIA"), and an association of travel agents seeking treble and
punitive damages, alleging violation of federal and state antitrust laws and
interference with business expectancies under state common law. The amount of
damages sought is not specified in the complaint and has not been revealed in
discovery to date. AACP has asserted that the defendants have agreed with
each other to boycott AACP because of AACP's practice of rebating travel
agency commissions to passengers and advertising discounts on such cruise
lines' advertised fares. In March 1995, the Federal District Court dismissed
this suit for the second time against both Carnival Cruise Lines and Holland
America Line on jurisdictional grounds. Plaintiff may appeal again or file
its claim in state court. In either case, the Company will vigorously oppose.
The Company does not believe that the outcome of this lawsuit will have a
material adverse affect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.
