[10-Q] Lindblad Expeditions Holdings Inc. Quarterly Earnings Report
Logitech International S.A. (LOGI) – Form 4 insider filing
CEO Johanna W. Faber acquired 79 registered shares of Logitech on 31 Jul 2025 through the company’s Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP). The purchase price was $78.948, reflecting the ESPP’s 15 % discount to the 31 July closing price. After the transaction Faber directly owns 22,103 shares; an additional 11 shares are held indirectly by her adult children. The filing was signed 4 Aug 2025.
The transaction was coded “A” (acquisition) and is exempt under Rules 16b-3(c)/(d). As an ESPP purchase, it represents a routine, programmatic buy rather than an open-market discretionary purchase. Size-wise, the 79-share addition is immaterial relative to both Faber’s existing stake and Logitech’s total shares outstanding; therefore, market impact is expected to be negligible.
Logitech International S.A. (LOGI) – Modulo 4 dichiarazione insider
La CEO Johanna W. Faber ha acquisito 79 azioni registrate di Logitech il 31 luglio 2025 tramite il Piano di Acquisto Azionario per Dipendenti (ESPP) della società. Il prezzo di acquisto è stato di 78,948 $, riflettendo uno sconto del 15% rispetto al prezzo di chiusura del 31 luglio. Dopo la transazione, Faber possiede direttamente 22.103 azioni; altre 11 azioni sono detenute indirettamente dai suoi figli adulti. La dichiarazione è stata firmata il 4 agosto 2025.
La transazione è stata classificata come “A” (acquisizione) ed è esente ai sensi delle Regole 16b-3(c)/(d). Essendo un acquisto ESPP, rappresenta un acquisto di routine e programmato, non una compravendita discrezionale sul mercato aperto. In termini di dimensioni, l’aggiunta di 79 azioni è irrilevante rispetto alla partecipazione esistente di Faber e al totale delle azioni in circolazione di Logitech; pertanto, si prevede un impatto di mercato trascurabile.

La CEO Johanna W. Faber adquirió 79 acciones registradas de Logitech el 31 de julio de 2025 a través del Plan de Compra de Acciones para Empleados (ESPP) de la compañía. El precio de compra fue de $78.948, reflejando un descuento del 15 % respecto al precio de cierre del 31 de julio.

La transacción fue clasificada como “A” (adquisición) y está exenta bajo las Reglas 16b-3(c)/(d). Al ser una compra ESPP, representa una adquisición rutinaria y programada, no una compra discrecional en el mercado abierto. En cuanto al tamaño, la adición de 79 acciones es insignificante en relación con la participación existente de Faber y el total de acciones en circulación de Logitech; por lo tanto, se espera un impacto de mercado negligible.
Logitech International S.A. (LOGI) – 내부자 거래 신고서 양식 4
CEO Johanna W. Faber는 2025년 7월 31일 회사의 직원 주식 구매 계획(ESPP)을 통해 Logitech의 79주 등록 주식을 취득했습니다. 매입 가격은 78.948달러로, 7월 31일 종가 대비 15% 할인된 ESPP 가격이 반영되었습니다. 거래 후 Faber는 직접 22,103주를 보유하며, 추가로 11주는 성인 자녀들이 간접적으로 보유하고 있습니다. 해당 신고서는 2025년 8월 4일에 서명되었습니다.
거래는 “A”(취득)로 분류되었으며, 규칙 16b-3(c)/(d)에 따라 면제됩니다. ESPP 매입인 만큼, 이는 공개 시장에서의 임의 매입이 아닌 정기적이고 프로그램에 따른 매입입니다. 규모 면에서 79주 추가는 Faber의 기존 지분 및 Logitech의 전체 발행 주식 대비 미미하여 시장에 미치는 영향은 거의 없을 것으로 예상됩니다.
Logitech International S.A. (LOGI) – Déclaration Formulaire 4 d’initié
La PDG Johanna W. Faber a acquis 79 actions enregistrées de Logitech le 31 juillet 2025 via le Plan d’Achat d’Actions Employés (ESPP) de l’entreprise. Le prix d’achat était de 78,948 $, reflétant une remise de 15 % par rapport au cours de clôture du 31 juillet. Après la transaction, Faber détient directement 22 103 actions ; 11 actions supplémentaires sont détenues indirectement par ses enfants majeurs. La déclaration a été signée le 4 août 2025.
La transaction a été codée « A » (acquisition) et est exonérée selon les règles 16b-3(c)/(d). En tant qu’achat ESPP, il s’agit d’un achat régulier et programmé, et non d’un achat discrétionnaire sur le marché ouvert. En termes de volume, l’ajout de 79 actions est négligeable par rapport à la participation existante de Faber et au nombre total d’actions Logitech en circulation ; par conséquent, l’impact sur le marché devrait être minime.
Logitech International S.A. (LOGI) – Form 4 Insider-Meldung
Die CEO Johanna W. Faber erwarb am 31. Juli 2025 über den Mitarbeiteraktienkaufplan (ESPP) des Unternehmens 79 eingetragene Aktien von Logitech. Der Kaufpreis betrug 78,948 $ und reflektierte den 15 %igen Rabatt des ESPP auf den Schlusskurs vom 31. Juli. Nach der Transaktion besitzt Faber direkt 22.103 Aktien; weitere 11 Aktien werden indirekt von ihren erwachsenen Kindern gehalten. Die Meldung wurde am 4. August 2025 unterzeichnet.
Die Transaktion wurde als „A“ (Erwerb) codiert und ist gemäß den Regeln 16b-3(c)/(d) ausgenommen. Als ESPP-Kauf stellt sie einen routinemäßigen, programmatischen Erwerb dar und keinen diskretionären Kauf am offenen Markt. Größenmäßig ist die Hinzufügung von 79 Aktien im Vergleich zu Fabers bestehendem Anteil und den insgesamt ausstehenden Logitech-Aktien unerheblich; daher wird ein vernachlässigbarer Markteinfluss erwartet.
- CEO increased direct holdings, modestly strengthening alignment with shareholders.
- Acquisition is routine and immaterial; provides little insight into management’s valuation outlook.
Insights
TL;DR: Routine ESPP buy, tiny size, neutral market impact.
The CEO’s 79-share ESPP purchase adds only 0.36 % to her personal stake and is far below any materiality threshold. Because ESPP transactions execute automatically at preset intervals and discounted prices, they convey limited incremental signaling value regarding management’s view of valuation. Logitech already discloses such plans, so no governance red flags arise. I classify the filing as informational with no investment thesis change.
TL;DR: Compliance event; confirms ongoing insider ownership alignment.
From a governance standpoint, continued participation in the ESPP keeps executive and shareholder interests aligned. The purchase is compliant with Rule 10b5-1 safeguards and Rule 16b-3 exemptions, demonstrating sound internal controls. However, the nominal dollar value (~$6k) and automatic nature mean no signal on strategic direction. Overall impact is neutral.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) regarding unaudited interim financial information and include the accounts and transactions of the Company. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial statements for the periods presented. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year due to seasonality and other factors. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2024 contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2025 (the “2024 Annual Report”).
The presentation of credit card fee expenses in the consolidated statement of operations of the Company has been reclassified from within general and administrative expense to cost of tours for 2024 to conform with the 2025 presentation.
Except for the presentation of credit card fee expenses discussed above, there have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.

NOTE 2—EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings (loss) per Common Share
Earnings (loss) per common share is computed using the two-class method related to the Company’s Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $
Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the dilutive incremental common shares associated with restricted stock awards and shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, using the treasury stock method, and the potential common shares that could be issued from conversion of the Preferred Stock, using the if-converted
method. When a net loss occurs, potential common shares have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share and such shares are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred net losses available to stockholders, therefore potential common shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation and basic and diluted net loss per share are the same in each respective period. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025,
Loss per share was calculated as follows:

NOTE 3—REVENUES
Customer Deposits and Contract Liabilities
The Company’s guests remit deposits in advance of tour embarkation. Guest deposits consist of guest ticket revenues as well as revenues from the sale of pre- and post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, land-based expeditions and certain air transportation. Guest deposits represent unearned revenues and are reported as unearned passenger revenues when received and are subsequently recognized as tour revenue over the duration of the expedition. Contract liabilities represent the Company's obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. The Company does not consider guest deposits to be a contract liability until the guest no longer has the right, resulting from the passage of time, to cancel their reservation and receive a full refund. In conjunction with the suspension or rescheduling of expeditions, the Company provided guests an option of either a refund or future travel certificates, which in some instances exceeded the original cash deposit. The value of future travel certificates in excess of cash received is being recognized as a discount to tour revenues at the time the related expedition occurs. Future travel certificates are valued based on the Company’s expectation that a guest will travel again. As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 the Company has $

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBB”) was enacted in the U.S. The OBBB includes significant provisions, such as the permanent extension of certain expiring provisions of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, restoration of favorable tax treatment for certain business provisions including the treatment of the deductibility of interest. The Company is currently assessing the impact on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
The Company has controlling interests in its Natural Habitat, Off the Beaten Path, DuVine and Classic Journeys consolidated subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interests are subject to put/call agreements. The put options enable the minority holders, but do not obligate them, to sell the remaining interests to the Company. The Company has call options which enable it, but do not obligate it, to acquire the remaining interests in the subsidiaries, subject to certain dates, expirations and similar redemption value purchase measurements as the put options.
Since the redemption of the noncontrolling interests are not solely in the Company’s control, the Company is required to record the redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of stockholders’ equity but after its total liabilities. In addition, if it is probable that the instrument will become redeemable, solely due to the passage of time, the redeemable noncontrollable interest should be adjusted to the redemption value via one of two measurement methods. The Company elected the income classification-excess adjustment and accretion methods for recognizing changes in the redemption value of the put options. Under this methodology, a calculation of the present value of the redemption value is compared to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, and the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is adjusted to the redemption value’s present value. Any adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, up to the redemption value of the noncontrolling interest, are classified to retained earnings. Adjustments in excess of the redemption value of the noncontrolling interest are treated as a decrease to net income available to common stockholders.
The redemption value of the put options were determined using a discounted cash flow model. The redemption values were adjusted to their present value using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. The following is a rollforward of redeemable non-controlling interest:

NOTE 11—SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company is primarily a specialty cruise and experiential travel operator with operations in two reportable segments, Lindblad, which provides ship-based expeditions, and Land Experiences, which provides active, land-based trips, tours, treks and safari adventures. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company organized them around the nature of services provided and other relevant factors. While both segments have similar characteristics, the two operating and reporting segments cannot be aggregated because they fail to meet the requirements for aggregation. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is Natalya Leahy, the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the separate financial information from the Company’s operating segments.
The CODM and management review operating results monthly, and evaluate the performance of the business segments and base operating decisions on the total results at a consolidated level, as well as at a segment level, based largely on tour revenues and operating income without allocating other income and expenses, net, income taxes and interest expense, net. The reports provided to the Board of Directors are at a consolidated level and contain information regarding the separate results of both segments. Operating results for the Company’s reportable segments were as follows:

We provide expedition cruising and land-based adventure travel fostering a spirit of exploration and discovery, using itineraries featuring up-close encounters with wildlife and nature, history and culture and promote guest empowerment, human connections and interactivity. Our mission is to offer life-changing adventures around the world and pioneer innovative ways to allow our guests to connect with exotic and remote places.
We currently operate a fleet of 12 owned expedition ships and operate seven seasonal charter vessels under the Lindblad Expeditions, LLC. (“Lindblad”) brand.

Operational and Financial Metrics
We use a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures, such as Adjusted EBITDA, Net Yields, Occupancy and Net Cruise Costs, to enable us to analyze our performance and financial condition. We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and believe 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. We believe 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. You should read this discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto also included within.
Adjusted EBITDA is net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, other income (expense), income tax (expense) benefit, (gain) loss on foreign currency, (gain) loss on transfer of assets, reorganization costs, and other supplemental adjustments. Other supplemental adjustments include certain non-operating items such as stock-based compensation, 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 as it reflects certain operating drivers of the business, such as sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense, and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA helps provide a more complete understanding of the underlying operating results and trends and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income as it does not take into account certain requirements, such as unearned passenger revenues, capital expenditures and related depreciation, principal and interest payments, and tax payments. Our computation and use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies within the industry.
The following metrics apply to our 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 and represents double occupancy per cabin (except single occupancy for a single capacity cabin) multiplied by the number of cruise days for the period. We also record the number of guest nights available on our limited land programs in this definition.
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 less insurance proceeds 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.
The following metrics apply to our Land Experiences segment:
Guests represents the number of guests that travel with us in a period.
Departures represent the number of trips, tours, treks and safaris completed during the period.
Foreign Currency Translation
The U.S. dollar and Tanzanian shilling are the functional currencies in our foreign operations and re-measurement adjustments and gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded as foreign exchange gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Seasonality
Traditionally, our Lindblad brand tour revenues are mildly seasonal, historically larger in the first and third quarters. The seasonality of our operating results fluctuates due to our vessels being taken out of service for scheduled maintenance or drydocking, which is typically during nonpeak demand periods, generally in the second and fourth quarters. Our drydock schedules are subject to cost and timing differences from year-to-year due to the availability of shipyards for certain work, drydock locations based on ship itineraries, operating conditions experienced especially in the polar regions and the applicable regulations of class societies in the maritime industry, which require more extensive reviews periodically. Drydocking impacts operating results by reducing tour revenues and increasing cost of tours. Our Natural Habitat, Off the Beaten Path, DuVine, Classic Journeys brands and Thomson Group are seasonal businesses, with the majority of Natural Habitat’s tour revenue recorded in the third and fourth quarters from its summer season departures and polar bear tours, the majority of Off the Beaten Path and DuVine's revenues are recorded during the second and third quarters from their spring and summer season departures, and the majority of Thomson Group’s revenues being recorded during the third quarter from the height of their safari season tours, while Classic Journeys’ revenue is somewhat less seasonal with the majority of revenues recorded during their second, third and fourth quarters.

Comparison of the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 at the Lindblad Segment
Tour Revenues
Tour revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $17.9 million, or 19%, to $111.0 million, compared to $93.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024. Of the $17.9 million increase, $15.8 million is related to a 17% increase in guest nights sold and $2.1 million is related to a 2% increase in revenue per guest nights sold as compared to the prior year period. Net yield per available guest night increased 13% to $1,241 from $1,094 in 2024, reflecting the higher pricing and a 9-basis point increase in occupancy compared with the same period in 2024.
Tour revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $30.8 million, or 15%, to $242.2 million, compared to $211.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. Of the $30.8 million increase, $21.2 million is related to a 10% increase in guest nights sold and $9.6 million is related to a 5% increase in revenue per guest nights sold as compared to the prior year period. Net yield per available guest night increased 19% to $1,376 from $1,160 in 2024, reflecting the higher pricing and a 10-basis point increase in occupancy compared with the same period in 2024.
Operating Income
The operating loss of $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased $7.3 million compared to a loss of $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as the increase in tour revenues was offset by higher operating expenses. The higher operating expenses included those expenses associated with increased revenue, including costs of tours, increased royalties and increased royalty rates per the National Geographic agreement, commissions, and marketing spend to drive future booking growth, and higher general and administrative costs, primarily due to increased stock-based compensation costs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we generated operating income of $6.3 million compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as the increase in tour revenues was partially offset by higher operating expenses. Higher operating expenses included expenses associated with increased revenue, including higher costs of tours, higher sales and marketing costs, including increases associated with the increased royalty rates included in the National Geographic agreement, higher commissions, and marketing spend to drive future booking growth, and higher general and administrative costs, primarily due to increased personnel costs and stock-based compensation.

Of the $13.5 million increase, $4.1 million is related to a 9% increase in the number of guests traveled for the continuing operations, and $9.4 million is related to the inclusion of the results of Thomson Group acquired in July 2024, and a 6% increase in revenue per guest as compared to the prior year period due to change in itineraries, destinations and pricing.
Tour revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $26.8 million, or 34%, to $105.5 million compared to $78.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Operating Income
Operating income of $6.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased $5.3 million compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as the increase in tour revenue was partially offset by higher operating and personnel costs related to operating additional departures, and higher marketing spend to drive future growth.
Operating income of $8.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased $7.5 million compared to $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as the increase in tour revenue was partially offset by higher operating and personnel costs related to operating additional departures, higher marketing spend to drive future growth, transaction-related costs, and the impact of foreign currency on operating expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2025, we had $200.9 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $46.4 million in restricted cash primarily related to deposits on future travel originating from U.S. ports and credit card reserves.
As of June 30, 2025, we had $635.0 million in long-term debt obligations, including the current portion of long-term debt. We believe that our cash on hand and expected future operating cash inflows will be sufficient to fund operations, debt service requirements, and necessary capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.
Sources and Uses of Cash for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024
Net cash provided by operating activities was $77.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $62.6 million for the same period in 2024. The $15.0 million increase is primarily due to increased cash received from guests for future travel.
Net cash used in investing activities was $44.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $13.9 million in cash provided by investing activities during the same period in 2024. 2025 primarily included the purchase of Torcatt Enterprises Limitada to expand our vessels and operations in the Galapagos, the refurbishment of the vessels acquired, and higher capital expenditure on our remaining vessels due to the timing of vessel drydocks compared to prior year, while 2024 primarily included capital expenditures on our vessels and digital transformation initiatives.
Net cash used in financing activities was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to $18.4 million provided by financing activities for the same period in 2024. 2025 primarily included income tax withholdings for stock-based compensation, while 2024 primarily included expenditures for the acquisition of an additional 9.95% of Natural Habitat and 5% of DuVine related to the respective puts and calls of the redeemable non-controlling interests, and income tax withholdings for stock-based compensation.
Funding Sources
Debt Facilities
6.75% Notes
On February 4, 2022, we issued $360.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.75% senior secured notes due 2027 (the “6.75% Notes”) in a private offering. The 6.75% Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.75% per year and is payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year. The 6.75% Notes will mature on February 15, 2027, subject to earlier repurchase or redemption. The 6.75% Notes are senior secured obligations and are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by us and certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) and secured by first-priority pari passu liens, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions, on substantially all of our and the Guarantors’ assets. We may redeem the 6.75% Notes at set redemption prices and premiums, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
Revolving Credit Facility
On February 4, 2022, we entered into a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which provides for an aggregate principal amount of commitments of $45.0 million, maturing February 2027, including a letter of credit sub-facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $5.0 million. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by us and the Guarantors and are secured by first-priority pari passu liens, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions, on substantially all our and the Guarantors’ assets. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at our option, an adjusted SOFR rate plus a spread or a base rate plus a spread. As of June 30, 2025, we had no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
9.00% Notes
On May 2, 2023, we issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.00% senior secured notes due 2028 (the “9.00% Notes”) in a private offering. The 9.00% Notes bear interest at a rate of 9.00% per year and is payable semiannually in arrears on May 15 and November 15 of each year. The 9.00% Notes will mature on May 15, 2028, subject to earlier repurchase or redemption. The 9.00% Notes are senior unsecured obligations and are guaranteed (i) on a senior secured basis by certain of our subsidiaries (collectively, the “Secured Guarantors”) and secured by a first-priority lien, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions, on the equity and substantially all the assets of the Secured Guarantors, and (ii) on a senior unsecured basis by certain of our other subsidiaries. We may redeem the 9.00% Notes at set redemption prices and premiums, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.
Covenants
The 6.75% Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and 9.00% Notes contain covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability and the ability of our restricted subsidiaries to incur certain additional indebtedness and make certain dividend payments, distributions, investments and other restricted payments. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications set forth in the 6.75% Notes, Revolving Credit Facility and 9.00% Notes. As of June 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants currently in effect.
Equity
Preferred Stock
In August 2020, we issued and sold 85,000 shares of Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001, (“Preferred Stock”) for $1,000 per share for gross proceeds of $85.0 million. As of March 31, 2024, 62,000 shares of Preferred Stock were outstanding. The Preferred Stock has senior and preferential ranking to our common stock. The Preferred Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends of 6.00% per annum, and for the first two years, the dividends were required to be paid-in-kind. After the second anniversary of the issuance date, the dividends may be paid-in-kind or be paid in cash at our option. During 2025, we thus far have continued to pay Preferred Stock dividends in-kind. At any time after the third anniversary of the issuance, we may, at our option, convert all, but not less than all, of the Preferred Stock into common stock if the closing price of shares of common stock is at least 150% of the conversion price for 20 out of 30 consecutive trading days. The Preferred Stock is convertible at any time, at the holder’s election, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the then-current accrued value by the conversion price of $9.50. At the six-year anniversary of the closing date, each investor has the right to request that we repurchase their Preferred Stock, and any Preferred Stock not requested to be repurchased shall be converted into our common shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the then-current accrued value by the conversion price. As of June 30, 2025, the outstanding Preferred Stock and accumulated dividends could be converted, at the option of the holders, into approximately 8.7 million shares of our common stock.
Funding Needs
We generally rely on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of additional debt to fund obligations. A vast majority of guest ticket receipts are collected in advance of the applicable expedition date. These advance passenger receipts remain a current liability until the expedition date, and the cash generated from these advance receipts is used interchangeably with cash on hand from other cash from operations. The cash received as advanced receipts can be used to fund operating expenses for the applicable future expeditions or otherwise, pay down debt, make long-term investments or any other use of cash. Traditionally we run a working capital deficit due primarily to a large balance of unearned passenger revenues. As of June 30, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of $127.6 million, and as of December 31, 2024, we had a working capital deficit of $114.0 million.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. For a detailed discussion of our Critical Accounting Policies, please see our 2024 Annual Report, where we have discussed those policies and estimates that we believe are critical and require the use of complex judgment in their application. There have been no significant changes to our accounting policies from those disclosed in the 2024 Annual Report.

Stock Repurchase Plan
Our Board of Directors approved a stock and warrant repurchase plan (“Repurchase Plan”) in November 2015 and increased the Repurchase Plan to $35.0 million in November 2016. The Repurchase Plan authorizes us to purchase from time to time our outstanding common stock and our previously outstanding warrants. Any shares and warrants purchased will be retired. The Repurchase Plan has no time deadline and will continue until otherwise modified or terminated at the sole discretion of our Board of Directors. These repurchases exclude shares repurchased to settle statutory employee tax withholding related to the exercise of stock options and vesting of stock awards. No repurchases were made under the Repurchase Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2025. We have cumulatively repurchased 875,218 shares of common stock for $8.3 million and 6,011,926 warrants for $14.7 million, since plan inception. All repurchases were made using cash resources. The balance for the Repurchase Plan was $12.0 million as of June 30, 2025.
