Yahoo Finance Carnival (CCL) to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Cards?
Carnival Corporation CCL is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2022 results on Jun 24. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered a negative earnings surprise of 34.2%.
Q2 Estimates
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fiscal second-quarter bottom line is pegged at a loss of $1.13 per share, compared with a loss of $1.80 reported in the year-ago quarter.
The consensus mark for revenues stands at $2.84 billion. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported revenues of $50 million.
Factors to Note
Carnival’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from the resumption of operations. In the first quarter of fiscal 2022, the company resumed cruise operations with 10 additional ships, which accounted for 60% of its fleet capacity (in guest cruise operations) compared with 47% reported in the previous quarter. As of Mar 22, 2022, the company had resumed operations at 75% of its fleet capacity. CCL intends to have its remaining fleet in operation by the 2022 summer season.
Encouraging booking volumes and book position might have contributed to the fiscal second-quarter performance. Earlier, the company stated that cumulative advance bookings for the second half of 2022 are at the lower end of the historical range, while cumulative advanced bookings for the first half of 2023 are at the higher end of historical ranges compared with 2019 levels.
However, cash burn may have weighed on the to-be-reported quarter’s performance. It anticipates phased resumption of cruise operations to have a material impact on all aspects of its business, including the company's liquidity, financial position and results of operations. This, in turn, may get reflected in the fiscal second-quarter results.
