Risks Considerations Risks in the Short to Medium Term Volatility in Fuel Prices - One of the largest expenses the company has is in fuel. There is possibility that their portfolio to hedge against increases in fuel price may be ineffective. Increase in Extreme Weather Conditions - With the increase in hurricane activity, key destinations including the Caribbean and Central America were adversely impacted. The locations damaged may impact demand in these areas. Large Capital investments with fleet expansion NCLH has committed to seven new ships through 2025, with an average cost of $841 Million per ship. There is no assurance that expansion will meet management expectations. High Levels of Leverage The company is currently leveraged at 4.8x Total debt to EBITDA, relative to the industry level of 2.32x. Although management and analyst consensus predict that leverage levels will be below 4x by Q417, their high leverage levels still pose a risk. Competitor Expansion Strategies Competitors Carnival Corp. and Royal Caribbean Lines have announced similar fleet expansion plans. Increased competition may adversely impact pricing and revenue. Although NCLH is on track to increasing their top-line revenue through expanding their fleet, they still face potential risk from internal operations and their competitors.
