Second Quarter 2025 Highlights: Total revenue increased 23% to $167.9 million Net loss available to stockholders improved $16.1 million to $9.7 million Adjusted EBITDA increased 139% to $24.8 million Lindblad segment net yield per available guest night increased 13% to $1,241 Occupancy increased to 86% from 78% , /PRNewswire/ -- Lindblad Expeditions Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIND; the "Company" or "Lindblad"), a global provider of expedition cruises and adventure travel experiences, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. Natalya Leahy, Chief Executive Officer, said "I'm incredibly proud of the team's accomplishments this quarter. We delivered 23% revenue growth, achieved 86% occupancy on a 5% increase in capacity, and drove a 139% increase in Adjusted EBITDA. These results reflect strong momentum behind our strategic initiatives. We remain focused on unlocking meaningful value through continued revenue growth and disciplined cost innovation, and we are confident in the direction we're heading." SECOND QUARTER RESULTS Tour Revenues Second quarter tour revenues of $167.9 million increased $31.4 million, or 23%, as compared to the same period in 2024. The increase was driven by a $18.0 million increase at the Lindblad segment and a $13.5 million increase at the Land Experiences segment. Lindblad segment tour revenues of $111.0 million increased $17.9 million, or 19%, compared to the second quarter a year ago primarily due to a 13% increase in net yield per available guest night to $1,241 driven by higher pricing and an increase in occupancy to 86% from 78% in the second quarter a year ago. Land Experiences tour revenues of $56.9 million increased $13.5 million, or 31%, compared to the second quarter a year ago primarily due to operating additional trips and higher pricing. The Land Experiences segment also includes a full quarter of results for Wineland-Thomson Adventures, which was acquired during the third quarter of 2024. Net Income Net loss available to stockholders for the second quarter was $9.7 million, $0.18 per diluted share, as compared with a net loss available to stockholders of $25.8 million, $0.48 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2024. The $16.1 million increase primarily reflects the improved operating results, a $3.4 million benefit related to employee retention tax credits, a $0.8 million gain on foreign currency, and a $0.5 million tax expense versus a $4.5 million tax expense in the second quarter a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA Second quarter Adjusted EBITDA of $24.8 million increased $14.5 million as compared to the same period in 2024 driven by a $9.8 million increase at the Lindblad segment and $4.7 million at the Land Experiences segment. Lindblad segment Adjusted EBITDA of $16.3 million increased $9.8 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased tour revenues and employee retention tax credits, partially offset by higher royalties and commission expense related to the increased revenues, and increased marketing spend to drive long-term growth initiatives. Land Experiences segment Adjusted EBITDA of $8.5 million increased $4.7 million as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to increased tour revenues, the addition of Wineland-Thomson Adventures, which was acquired during the third quarter of 2024, and employee retention tax credits, partially offset by increased operating and personnel costs and higher marketing spend to drive future growth.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES The Company uses a variety of operational and financial metrics, including non-GAAP financial measures such as Adjusted EBITDA, Occupancy, Net Yields and Net Cruise Costs, to enable it to analyze its performance and financial condition. The Company utilizes these financial measures to manage its business on a day-to-day basis and believes 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. The Company believes 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. The definitions of non-GAAP financial measures along with a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial information to GAAP are included in the supplemental financial schedules.

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 use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to other companies within the industry. The following metrics apply to the 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 available for sale 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 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 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.
