CEO Josh Weinstein commented: "Our amazing team delivered yet another phenomenal quarter, more than tripling adjusted net income driven by record net yields (in constant currency) and strong close-in demand.
"We also remain on track for a strong 4 percent net yield growth in the second half, consistent with what we forecasted back in December which was before the complex macroeconomic and geopolitical backdrop we have all experienced in the last few months. Combined, this has enabled us to raise full year guidance again."
"On top of this, thanks to our consistent track record of significant outperformance, we have already exceeded our 2026 SEA Change financial targets a full 18 months early, increasing adjusted EBITDA per ALBD by 52 percent and more than doubling adjusted ROIC to over 12.5 percent in less than two years.
"We also met our third 2026 SEA Change commitment to cut carbon intensity by 20 percent from 2019 levels.
"That's a win for the planet and our bottom line.
"Our strong results, booked position and outlook are a testament to the success of our ongoing strategy to deliver same-ship, high-margin revenue growth.
"We continue to set ourselves up well for 2026 and beyond, with so much more potential to take our margins, returns and results even higher over time."
