Current report

White Desert, consisting of White Desert Ltd and PNR Airways Ltd, flies clients into the remote interior of Antarctica, blending logistical precision with a level of comfort previously unheard of on the ice. The company operates three unique camps each limited to just 12 guests per itinerary. Billed as the ultimate bucket-list adventure, its itineraries include a journey to the Geographic South Pole, a visit to an Emperor penguin colony of over 20,000 birds, and expert-led glacier hikes, blue river treks, and ice cave exploration. White Desert is also a sustainability pioneer and trusted partner of the scientific community, flying hundreds of scientists to research stations each year.

Current report

Through its global platform and expertise, Lindblad Expeditions will also support the development and growth of a brand-new offering - Echo Charlie. Inspired by the golden age of aviation aboard a fully restored DC-3 (an aircraft that can land on remote airstrips without the hassle of commercial airports), this new offering fuses real-life adventure with the seamless connection of highly diverse landscapes.

Current report

During September 2026, we acquired a 60% controlling interest in White Desert and Echo Charlie for an aggregate cash purchase price of approximately $66.6 million, subject to customary adjustments for working capital, cash and indebtedness. The acquisition expands our experiential travel platform through the addition of Antarctic expedition and aviation-based travel offerings.

Current report

Other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 was $32.8 million, compared to $55.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the prior year including a $23.5 million expense, net, related to debt extinguishment and other financing expenses, partially offset by a gain on the Torcatt acquisition. Additionally, interest expense on our corporate debt facilities was $3.2 million lower. These decreases were partially offset by a loss on foreign exchange.

We currently operate a fleet of 12 owned expedition ships and 10 seasonal charter vessels (with several other vessels contracted for future expeditions) under the Lindblad brand. Each expedition ship is fully equipped with state-of-the-art tools for in-depth exploration, and the majority of our expeditions involve travel to remote places, such as voyages to Alaska, the Arctic, Antarctic, the Galápagos Islands, Baja’s Sea of Cortez, the South Pacific, Costa Rica and Panama. We have a longstanding relationship with the National Geographic Society (“National Geographic”) dating back to 2004, which is based on a shared interest in exploration, research, technology and conservation. This relationship, which extends through 2040, includes a co-selling, co-marketing and global branding arrangement whereby our owned vessels carry the National Geographic name, and National Geographic sells our expeditions through its internal travel division. We collaborate with National Geographic on voyage planning to enhance the guest experience by having National Geographic experts, including photographers, writers, marine biologists, naturalists, field researchers and film crews, join our expeditions. Guests have the ability to interact with these experts through lectures, excursions, dining and other experiences throughout their voyage.

Adjusted EBITDAis defined by us as, net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, net interest expense, income tax expense or benefit, foreign currency gains or losses and other certain non-operating items. Other non-operating items excluded, include such items as stock-based compensation, reorganization costs, 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 to evaluate operating performance and trends. We believe this measure provides additional insight into underlying operating results by excluding items that may not be indicative of ongoing performance. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures such as net income or cash flows from operations. Our definition and use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Current wording

The U.S. dollar is our reporting currency, and the Tanzanian shilling, Kenyan shilling and South African rand are the functional currencies of certain of our foreign operations.

Previous wording

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.

Previous wording

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 advance 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, 2026, we had a working capital deficit of$82.1 million, and as of December 31, 2025, we had a working capital deficit of$93.7 million.
