Carnival Corp & plc, the Anglo-American cruise shipping group, said it continues to expect full year 2014 net revenue yields, on a constant dollar basis, to be down slightly compared to the prior year and in line with the prior year on a current dollar basis.
“The company also continues to expect net cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD for full year 2014 to be slightly higher than the prior year on a constant dollar basis,” it said in a statement.
Taking the above factors into consideration, the company forecasts full year 2014 non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to be in the range of $1.50 to $1.70, compared to 2013 non-GAAP diluted earnings of $1.58 per share.
Looking forward, Group CEO Arnold Donald stated, “We are on the path toward improved financial performance. We are working hard to maintain the momentum with additional product initiatives, continuous improvement in our already high guest satisfaction levels and greater utilization of our global scale.”
