OneSpaWorld Reports Record Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Results and Increases Fiscal Year Guidance

NASSAU, Bahamas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (NASDAQ: OSW) ("OneSpaWorld," or the "Company"), the pre-eminent global provider of health and wellness services and products on-board cruise ships and in destination resorts around the world, today announced its financial results for its third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2024, ended September 30, 2024.

Leonard Fluxman, Executive Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President of OneSpaWorld, commented: "We delivered exceptional third quarter results, achieving all-time records for total revenues, income from operations and adjusted EBITDA that once again surpassed our expectations. Based on our performance, continuing momentum and positive outlook across our business, we are increasing annual guidance for the third time this year. Our sustained strong performance continues to evidence the talent of our team to leverage our complex operating model and competitive strengths to deliver outstanding guest experiences for our cruise line and destination resort partners, positioning us well to continue achieving outstanding results for our Company and our partners.

The third quarter included many noteworthy accomplishments," continued Mr. Fluxman. "We grew total revenue by 12%, income from operations by 48% and adjusted EBITDA by 33%. We generated robust free cash flow, which we invested to reduce our debt, pay our quarterly dividend and repurchase shares as we continue to prioritize bolstering our strong balance sheet, investing in our growth and enhancing value for our shareholders. And we continue to invest across our business to enhance our competitive strengths, innovate our services, products and guest experiences, and leverage our operating systems and experienced staff, to enhance onboard productivity, service mix and retail product attachment rate evidenced by our record maritime operating metrics, including revenue per passenger per day, revenue per staff day, and weekly revenue per ship."

Mr. Fluxman stated further: "Earlier this month, we issued our inaugural Sustainability and Social Responsibility Report, which highlights our commitment to exemplary care for our employees, outstanding service to our partners and their guests, and responsible stewardship of the environment and communities our Company impacts across the globe. This commitment and our ongoing ability to leverage our industry leading operating platform, integrated growth initiatives and asset-light business model to generate consistently increasing after-tax free cash flow positions us well to deliver continuing strong near-term and long-term operating and financial performance," concluded Mr. Fluxman.

Stephen Lazarus, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, added: "We ended the quarter with a strong balance sheet, including total cash of $50.0 million after repaying $24.6 million of our first lien term loan during the quarter and investing $11.3 million to repurchase our common shares. During the quarter, we further strengthened our balance sheet, replacing our existing first lien term loan with a new $100 million facility, thereby lengthening the debt maturity and lowering our ongoing interest rate. In addition, we added a $50 million revolving loan facility, which was undrawn at quarter end, providing us with $100 million of total liquidity. We move forward with an efficient capital structure and robust cash flow generation that will enable us to invest in continuing to drive long-term growth, together with our dividend and share repurchase programs and debt paydown."

Mr. Lazarus concluded, "with our strong third quarter performance and a positive outlook, we have increased our fiscal year 2024 guidance. We now expect revenues to increase 12% and adjusted EBITDA to increase 24% at the mid-point of the guidance ranges from fiscal 2023 actual results."

Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2024 Compared to September 30, 2023

• Total revenues were $241.7 million compared to $216.3 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase primarily was attributable to our average ship count increasing to 195 health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the quarter compared with our average ship count of 185 health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the third quarter of 2023, together with continued productivity gains across our operations.
• Cost of services were $159.6 million compared to $146.1 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase primarily was attributable to costs associated with increased Service revenues of $194.4 million in the quarter, compared with Service revenues of $175.8 million in the third quarter of 2023.
• Cost of products were $40.1 million compared to $34.5 million in the third quarter of 2023. The increase primarily was attributable to costs associated with increased Product revenues of $47.3 million in the quarter, compared to Product revenues of $40.4 million in the third quarter of 2023.
• Net income was $21.6 million, or Net income per diluted share of $0.20, as compared to Net income of $23.4 million or Net income per diluted share of $0.16 in the third quarter of 2023. The change was primarily attributable to a $7.4 million decline in the fair value of warrant liabilities reflected in Other income (expense) and an $8.1 million increase in Income from operations. All warrants were exercised or cancelled prior to the third quarter of 2024 with zero expense incurred during the third quarter of 2024. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities was the result of the remeasurement to fair value of the warrants exercised during the third quarter of 2023 reflecting changes in market prices of our common stock and other observable inputs deriving the value of these financial instruments. The $8.1 million change in Income from operations primarily derived from the increase in the number of health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the quarter.
• Adjusted net income was $27.3 million, or Adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.26, as compared to Adjusted net income of $22.0 million, or Adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.22, in the third quarter of 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $33.0 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $24.9 million in the third quarter of 2023.
• Unlevered after-tax free cash flow was $31.0 million compared to $24.2 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Year-to-date September 30, 2024 Compared to September 30, 2023

• Total revenues were $677.8 million compared to $599.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase primarily was attributable to our average ship count increasing to 190 health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared with our average ship count of 178 health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, together with continued productivity gains across our operations.
• Cost of services were $454.4 million compared to $409.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase primarily was attributable to costs associated with increased Service revenues of $547.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from our operating health and wellness centers at sea and on land, compared with Service revenues of $489.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
• Cost of products were $110.8 million compared to $94.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase primarily was attributable to costs associated with increased Product revenues of $130.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 from our operating health and wellness centers at sea and on land, compared to Product revenues of $110.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
• Net income was $58.5 million, or Net income per diluted share of $0.56, as compared to Net income of $4.3 million or Net income per diluted share of $0.04 in the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to a $34.4 million positive change in the fair value of warrant liabilities reflected in Other income (expense) and a $19.3 million increase in Income from operations. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities was the result of the remeasurement to fair value of the warrants exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 reflecting changes in market prices of our common stock and other observable inputs deriving the value of these financial instruments. All warrants were exercised or cancelled prior to the third quarter of 2024. The $19.3 million increase in Income from operations primarily derived from the increase in the number of health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the comparative nine month period.
• Adjusted net income was income of $68.2 million, or Adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.65, compared to Adjusted net income of $49.4 million, or Adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.50, in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
• Adjusted EBITDA was $85.4 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $65.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
• Unlevered after-tax free cash flow was $78.8 million compared to $62.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

(1) Diluted EPS includes an adjustment to exclude $7.4 million from net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which is attributable to the gain in fair value of the in-the-money warrant liabilities as they were dilutive for this period.

(2) For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, potential common shares under the treasury stock method and the if-converted method were antidilutive because the effect of the change in the fair value of warrants was antidilutive. Consequently, the Company did not have any adjustments in this period between basic and diluted income per share related to stock-based awards and warrants.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

This press release includes financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, including Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered after-tax free cash flow.

We define Adjusted net income as net income, adjusted for items, including increase in depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the Business Combination, non-cash stock-based compensation and change in fair value of warrant liabilities. Adjusted net income per diluted share is defined as Adjusted net income divided by the weighted average diluted shares outstanding during the period, as if such shares had been outstanding during the entire three and nine month periods ended 2024 and 2023.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as income from continuing operations before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the impact of certain other items, including non-cash stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of warrant liabilities.

We define Unlevered after-tax free cash flow as Adjusted EBITDA minus capital expenditures and cash taxes paid.

We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, and not in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations under GAAP, are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and the adjustments we make to these non-GAAP measures provide investors further insight into our profitability and additional perspectives in comparing our performance to other companies and in comparing our performance over time on a consistent basis. Adjusted net income, Adjusted net income per diluted share, Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered after-tax free cash flow have limitations as profitability or liquidity measures in that they do not include total amounts for interest expense on our debt and provision for income taxes, and the effect of our expenditures for capital assets and certain intangible assets. In addition, all of these non-GAAP measures have limitations as profitability or liquidity measures in that they do not include the effect of non-cash stock-based compensation expense and the impact of certain expenses related to items that are settled in cash. Because of these limitations, the Company relies primarily on its GAAP results.

In the future, we may incur expenses similar to those for which adjustments are made in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a basis to infer that our future results will be unaffected by extraordinary, unusual, or nonrecurring items.
