Read MoreHide Full Article
Carnival Corporation (CCL - Free Report) reported third-quarter fiscal 2020 results, with earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate and revenues missing the same. Following the results, the company’s shares declined 2.4% yesterday.
Further, a glance at the company’s price performance shows that it has underperformed the industry so far this year. The stock has lost 69.3% compared with the industry’s decline of 40.1%.
In the quarter under review, the company reported loss per share of $2.19, narrower than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of a loss of $2.22. In the prior-year quarter, the company had reported earnings per share of $2.63.
Revenues came in at $31 million, which missed the consensus mark of $100 million. The top line also declined sharply from the prior-year quarter’s figure of $6.5 billion. Results in the quarter were impacted by the coronavirus-induced shutdowns.
The company’s cruise operations have been halted due to the pandemic. It is unable to predict the entire fleet’s return to normal operations. Due to this, the company is unable to provide guidance.
Bookings Update
The company stated that cumulative advanced bookings for second half of 2021 capacity currently available for sale are at the higher end of the historical range. However, pricing on these bookings are down by mid-single digits compared with the second half of 2019, on a comparable basis. This reflects the effect of future cruise credits ("FCC") from previously-cancelled cruises being applied. Bookings for 2021 and 2020 are going on.

Carnival exited the fiscal third quarter with liquidity of more than $8 billion. Amid the coronavirus-induced shutdowns, the company’s average cash burn rate for the fourth half of 2020 is estimated to be nearly $530 million.
