PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

 

General

At our core, we are a global services company. We are the market leader in the highly attractive outsourced maritime health and wellness market, with a market share we estimate exceeds 90%. Over the last 50 years, we have built our leading market position on our depth of staff expertise; broad and innovative service and product offerings; expansive global recruitment, training and logistics platform; and decades-long relationships with cruise line and destination resort partners. Throughout our history, our mission has been simple: helping guests look and feel their best during and after their stay. We serve a critical role for our cruise line and destination resort partners, operating a complex and increasingly important aspect of their overall guest experience. Decades of investment and know-how have allowed us to construct an unmatched global infrastructure to manage the complexity of our operations. We have consistently expanded our onboard offerings with innovative, leading-edge service and product introductions, and developed a powerful back-end recruiting, training and logistics platform to manage our operational complexity, maintain our industry-leading quality standards and maximize revenue per center. The combination of our renowned recruiting and training platform, deep labor pool, global logistics and supply chain infrastructure and proven revenue management capabilities represents a significant competitive advantage that we believe is not economically feasible to replicate. These competitive advantages have served our business well during the recent challenging times for our industry.

Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19)

In the face of the global impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, our cruise line partners paused their guest cruise operations and the majority of our U.S. and Caribbean-based destination resort spas temporarily closed in mid-March 2020. During 2021, we initiated our resumption of spa operations on cruise ships and in destination resorts in a phased manner, in concert with our cruise line and resort partners, and have completed such resumption of operations. As of December 31, 2023, our operations are no longer impacted by closures of our health and wellness centers on cruise ships and in destination resorts resulting from COVID-19.

Our Business

The majority of our revenue and profits are earned through long-term revenue sharing agreements with cruise line partners that economically align both parties and contribute to our attractive asset-light financial profile. These agreements range from three to 9.4 years in duration and average approximately six years in length, providing us with the exclusive right to offer health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and the ability to sell complementary products onboard the ships we serve. Under these long-term agreements, cruise line partners retain a specified percentage of revenues from all our sales onboard. This inherent alignment encourages collaboration in all aspects of our operations, including facility design, product innovation, pre- and post-cruise sales opportunities, capacity utilization initiatives and other data-driven strategies to drive increased guest traffic and revenue growth. Most of our cruise line agreements encompass 100% of a partner cruise line’s existing fleet and all new ships with spas introduced by the cruise line during the term of the agreement.

Our cruise line relationships average over 20 years and encompass substantially all of the major global cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Costa Cruises and Holland America, among many others, as well as recent additions to the industry, such as Virgin Voyages. These partnerships extend across contemporary, premium, luxury and budget cruise lines that operate ships regionally and globally. We maintain what we believe to be an exceptional contract renewal rate with our cruise line partners, having renewed approximately 97% of our contracts based on ship count over the last 15 years, including 100% of our contracts with ships larger than 3,500 berths. We have not only maintained relationships with existing cruise line partners, but also have a history of winning contracts and gaining market share. In August 2021, we extended our current agreement with Azamara through May 2026. In November 2022, we extended our current agreement with Norwegian Cruise Line through December 2029 for all ships across their three brands. In June 2023, we entered into a new agreement with Crystal Cruises through May 2028. On land, we have longstanding relationships with the world’s leading destination hotel and resort operators, including Marriott, Hilton, Wyndham, Atlantis, ClubMed, Caesars Entertainment, Lotte, Loews, Four Seasons, and Mohegan Sun, among others.

Our health and wellness centers served over 23 million guests in 2023, seeking a continuation and enhancement of their health, fitness, beauty and wellness activities, and to explore new service, product and experience innovations while traveling. As consumers increasingly incorporate health and wellness activities into their daily lives, they are placing a higher priority on health and wellness services while traveling and vacationing.

Our state-of-the-art health, fitness, beauty and wellness centers are designed and branded for each cruise line and destination resort to optimize the guest experience, align with our partners’ overall hospitality atmosphere and maximize productivity. During the year ended December 31, 2023, centers employed up to 83 highly trained professionals and ranged in size up to over 30,000 square feet, depending on the cruise line or destination resort partner’s needs.

We are recognized by our cruise line and destination resort partners and our guests for our comprehensive suite of services and products. We curate and deliver a broad range of offerings centered on providing specific health, fitness, beauty, and wellness solutions to meet our guests’ lifestyle routines or objectives. These services include: (i) traditional body, salon, and skin care services and products; (ii) self-service fitness facilities, specialized fitness classes and personal fitness training; (iii) innovative pain management, detoxifying programs and body composition analyses; (iv) nutrition and weight management programs and products; and (v) advanced medi-spa services, among others. We also offer our guests access to leading beauty and wellness brands including ELEMIS ®, Grown Alchemist®, Kérastase ®, Dysport ®, Restylane®, Thermage®, CoolSculpting®, truSculpt® 3D, truSculpt® iD, Good Feet®, and Hyperice®, among others, with many brands offered exclusively by us in the cruise market. On average, during the year ended December 31, 2023, guests spent approximately $286 per visit. Additionally, our solution sales approach drives substantial retail sales, with approximately 18% of our revenues derived from the sale of retail products during the year ended December 31, 2023.

Our Operations and Performance

We are a Bahamian international business company that earns a substantial portion of our revenue in low- or no-tax jurisdictions, resulting in a comparatively low effective cash tax rate. Additionally, we have minimal capital expenditures, as our cruise line and destination resort partners typically fund the build-out, maintenance, and refurbishment of our health and wellness centers. The combination of our attractive tax rate and asset-light operating model leads to a financial profile that delivers comparatively high Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flow. Annually, from fiscal 2017 through 2019, and post-pandemic, in fiscal 2023, we converted approximately 89% of our Adjusted EBITDA to Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flow.

Historically, with the exception of the adverse impact of the recent pandemic discussed elsewhere herein, and since the resumption of our health and wellness center operations on cruise ships and in destination resorts, we have driven strong financial performance and believe our leading market position in a growing industry, differentiated business model, and mutually accretive partnerships with our cruise line and destination resort partners position our business for continued growth. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we achieved Revenues of $794.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $89.2 million, Net Loss of $(3.0) million and Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flow of $79.1 million.

Attractive Market Opportunity

 

We operate at the intersection of the historically attractive health and wellness and hospitality and travel industries. We believe we are well-positioned to grow as the hospitality and travel industry continues to expand, with heightened and growing consumer demand for health and wellness services, products solutions and experiences.

 

According to Cruise Lines International Association (“CLIA”), the cruise industry continues to be one of the fastest-growing sectors of tourism, with cruise tourism forecast to reach 106% of 2019 levels in 2023. Based on statistics published by CLIA, global cruise capacity is forecast to grow 19% from 2022 to 2028, continuing the pre-pandemic trend of global passenger counts having grown every year, from approximately 6.3 million passengers in 1995 to a forecast all-time high of approximately 35 million passengers in 2024, representing a compound annual growth rate of 5.9%. This passenger growth has been driven by consistent, significant investments in new cruise ship capacity, strong loyalty among experienced cruisers, the large and growing appeal of cruising to all demographics, including millennials and Gen-X travelers, and the continually increasing sustainability and efficiency initiatives of cruise ships, aligning with the growing commitment of current and potential cruise travelers to make travel decisions based on environmental factors. The Caribbean, Bahamas and Bermuda continue to be the top cruise destinations, representing 32% of passenger volume during 2022, according to the CLIA. In its State of the Cruise Industry September 2023 Update, CLIA noted that passenger intent to cruise was higher than in December 2019, and reported that 85% of travelers who have cruised will cruise again, at 6% higher than pre-pandemic levels, including 88% of millennials and 86% of Gen-X travelers who have previously cruised.

 

Our health and wellness centers cater to guests seeking a continuation of their health, fitness, beauty and wellness activities while traveling and those who want to trial services while away from home. As consumers increasingly incorporate health and wellness activities into their daily lives, they are placing a higher priority on health and wellness services while traveling and vacationing. CLIA forecasts an increase to international travelers who have never cruised and are open to cruise equivalent to four million new-to-cruise travelers from 2023 to 2025. Many cruise lines offer an increasingly wide range of sustainable shore excursions, including walking, cycling, paddle, or sail experiences, attracting an ever-growing base of health-conscious consumers.

Our Evolution

 

Our history dates back to the early 1960s, when we opened the world’s first salons at sea onboard transatlantic cruise ships, including the Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth II. For more than 50 years, we have continuously defined and redefined the onboard health, fitness, beauty and wellness category by consistently expanding our onboard offerings with innovative and leading-edge service and product introductions, while developing the powerful back-end recruiting, training and logistics platforms to manage and optimize the complexity of our operations and maintain our industry-leading quality standards. We have successfully evolved the onboard health, fitness, beauty and wellness category from what was once a consumer-centric amenity for passengers to a key onboard revenue driver for our cruise line partners.

Prior to the cessation of our cruise line and land-based destination resort operations due to COVID-19 in March 2020, our comprehensive suite of premium health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and products reached more consumers than ever before, with 175 centers onboard cruise ships addressing a captive audience of over 20 million passengers annually, and 68 destination resort centers serving global travelers at premier destination resorts around the world.

In September 2020, we began the resumption of limited operations with one of our cruise line partners. Fiscal 2024 will mark our first year of normalized operations for the full fiscal year since the onset of COVID-19 in early 2020. As of December 31, 2023, our comprehensive suite of premium health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and products reached more consumers than ever before, with 193 centers onboard cruise ships addressing a captive audience of over 23 million passengers annually, and 51 destination resort centers serving global travelers at premier destination resorts around the world.

Our key initiatives include:

continued innovation in our service and product offerings, coupled with enhanced consultative sales training techniques, resulting in a shifting revenue mix toward higher value-add and higher priced services, higher-priced products, and higher attachment rates for product purchases in connection with a guest service;
enhancing and expanding collaboration with cruise line and destination resort partners;
expanding pre-marketing, pre-booking and pre-payment platforms with optimal positioning on cruise line websites;
employing data-driven, dynamic pricing of services to optimize facility utilization and revenue generation; and
incorporating advanced direct marketing programs, including personalized communications and value promotions, to drive consumer demand.

Our Strengths

 

We believe that our competitive strengths historically have positioned us, and will continue to position us, as a leader in the hospitality-based health and wellness industry and the category dominant leader in the cruise industry.

 

Global Leader in the Hospitality-Based Health and Wellness Industry

 

As the pre-eminent global operator of health and wellness centers onboard cruise ships and a leading operator of health and wellness centers at destination resorts worldwide, we are at the center of the intersection between the health and wellness and hospitality and travel industries. In 2023, the Global Wellness Institute reported that global wellness tourism was a $814.6 billion industry, and projected 8.6% average annual growth as the world continues to recover from the pandemic, with the wellness economy reaching $8.5 trillion in 2027.

 

We are the market leader at more than 20x the size of our closest maritime competitor. Through our more than 90% market share, we have had access to a captive audience of over 23 million passengers annually. Cruise ship guests are an attractive demographic, with average annual household incomes of over $100,000. As a result of our scale, our captive consumer audience, and consumers’ increasing desire for more health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and products, we are well-positioned in the global health and wellness industry and have a large and highly attractive addressable consumer market at sea and on land.

Differentiated Business Model That Would Be Difficult and Uneconomic to Replicate

 

For more than 50 years, our business model has been built through investment in global infrastructure, supply chain logistics and training, decades-long relationships with our cruise line and destination resort partners and our reputation for offering our guests a best-in-class health, fitness, beauty and wellness experience. Our robust infrastructure and processes required to operate and maximize revenue across our network of global health and wellness centers separates us from existing and prospective peers. In 2023, we embarked on over 8,500 voyages that welcomed over 23 million passengers at more than 245 ports of embarkation, and placed over 5,900 individuals, more than 63% of whom were previously employed by OneSpaWorld, in various positions at our shipboard health and wellness centers. Our business model is centered on providing our cruise line and destination resort partners with the following solutions:

 

Creating Extraordinary Guest Experiences —We pride ourselves on creating extraordinary guest experiences in our health and wellness facilities, offering our cruise line and destination resort partners’ guests a comprehensive suite of premium health, wellness, fitness and beauty services, treatments, and products.
Global Recruiting, Training and Logistics —We recruit, train and manage over 5,000 health, fitness, beauty and wellness professionals annually around the world, representing 88 nationalities and 27 spoken languages. With seven global training facilities, we serve each cruise line’s needs for specific onboard staff with complex language, cultural and service modality requirements and are the only company with the infrastructure to commission highly trained staff at over 1,300 ports of call worldwide. Our commitment to our onboard and destination resort staff has proven to be an essential element of our successful return to service performance.
Supply Chain and Logistics —We managed the complex delivery of all products and supplies to our health and wellness centers onboard 193 vessels operating 8,500 voyages around the world during 2023, leveraging proprietary data to accurately forecast and stock each health and wellness center. Products and supplies can only be loaded at designated ports around the world during a limited window of time while the ship is in port, in many cases overnight, adding to the complexity of the process.
Yield and Revenue Management —We have developed proprietary technology, processes and staff training tools to consistently measure, analyze and maximize onboard and destination resort revenue and profitability.
Exclusive Relationships at sea with Global Brands —Due to our scale, superior operations, industry longevity and attractive captive consumer audience, through the OneSpaWorld platform at sea, we offer for sale and utilize in our services more than 1,400 product SKUs sourced from over 75 vendors, including ELEMIS, Grown Alchemist, Kérastase, Thermage, GoodFeet Arch Supports, and Hyperice, among others.
Facility Design and Branding Expertise —We design our state-of-the-art health and wellness centers specifically for each cruise line vessel and destination resort, creating bespoke branding, guest experience, guest services offerings, complementary retail products assortment, and competitive differentiation for each of our cruise line and destination resort partners to optimize guest experiences and maximize productivity and financial performance.

The above capabilities have contributed to building a differentiated and defensible strategy around our leading market position in a historically growing and attractive industry.

Unmatched Breadth of Service and Product Offering

 

We offer our guests a comprehensive suite of health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and products to meet any and all of their needs. We are continuously innovating and evolving our offerings based on the latest trends and tailor our service and product offerings to regional preferences. In addition to conventional personal care services, we offer the latest in fitness, a full range of massage treatments, nutrition and weight management consultations, teeth whitening, acupuncture, and innovative, higher-ticket medi-spa services at sea, including Dysport, Restylane, CoolSculpting, Thermage, IV nutrient therapy, and dermal fillers, among our broad and ever-expanding spectrum of choices. With our captive audience of, historically, over 23 million cruise guests annually, OneSpaWorld is a compelling distribution channel for leading health, fitness, beauty and wellness brands. Renowned brands, including ELEMIS and Kérastase, have partnered with us for exclusive distribution at sea. Cruise line and destination resort partners depend on us to provide their guests with the best and broadest assortment of services and products to enhance their vacation experience and the competitive positioning and consumer value of their brands.

Entrenched Partnerships with Economic Alignment

 

We have cultivated long-standing partnerships with substantially all of the largest and most successful cruise lines and many premier resorts in the world. Our cruise line relationships average over 20 years and encompass substantially all of the major global cruise lines, including Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean Cruises, Princess Cruises, Norwegian Cruise Line, Celebrity Cruises, Costa Cruises, Seabourn Cruise Line, Virgin Voyages, and Holland America, among many others. The majority of our revenues and profits are earned through our long-term revenue sharing agreements with our cruise line partners that economically align both parties and create a collaborative relationship. On land, we partner with market leaders at highly attractive destinations, including Atlantis Paradise Island Bahamas, The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons Resort, Hilton Hawaiian Village Beach Resort and Spa, and the Mohegan Sun Resort, among others. Our long-standing relationships, with economic alignment at the core, strengthen our competitive advantage.

 

Highly Visible and Predictable Revenue Streams

 

We operate health and wellness centers on 193 ships under long-term contracts with our cruise line partners, which we expect to grow as new ships are commissioned by our existing partners and prospective new partners. This new ship growth is highly visible as demonstrated in a publicly available global order book outlining over five years of new ship orders. Across our contracts, OneSpaWorld typically operates on all ships with spas in a fleet and all new ships with spas added during the contract term, securing both existing and new ship revenue. A new ship requires approximately two to four years to be built and is rarely delayed, as cruise lines typically sell out the vessel’s maiden voyage over a year in advance. New ships do not have a revenue ramp-up period given these advanced marketing efforts. Our cruise line partners are experts at dependably filling their ships with passengers, as demonstrated by the industry’s historical average occupancy rate of above 100%, even through recessionary periods. Due to historically consistent industry practices and decades of proprietary operating history data, OneSpaWorld has had strong visibility into our future revenue realization for the next three to five years.

Asset-Light Model with After-Tax Free Cash Flow Generation

 

Our cruise line partners typically fund the build-out, maintenance, and refurbishment of our onboard health and wellness centers, resulting in an asset-light profile with minimal capex required. Our capital expenditures averaged 1% of revenues over the three years preceding the onset of COVID-19. Being a Bahamian international business company and earning a significant portion of our revenue in low-tax or no-tax jurisdictions, including international waters, our effective cash tax rate had been approximately 2% over the three years preceding the onset of the recent pandemic. This combination translates to exceptional after-tax free cash flow. Annually, from fiscal 2017 through 2019, and post-pandemic, in fiscal 2023, we converted approximately 89% of our Adjusted EBITDA to Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flow.

 

Seasoned and Proven Leadership Team

 

OneSpaWorld is led by a management team that has operated the Company for nearly 20 years. Our Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Leonard Fluxman, and our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, Stephen Lazarus, together led OneSpaWorld's predecessor company, Steiner Leisure, as a public company for more than a decade.

Additionally, our Chief Commercial Officer, Susan Bonner, has over 20 years of experience in the cruise line sector and is a seasoned executive with a proven track record and significant background in strategy, revenue management, operations management, sales, and marketing. Mr. Fluxman, Mr. Lazarus and Ms. Bonner now lead an internally developed senior management team with over 150 years of combined industry experience. The OneSpaWorld management team’s deep experience and proven track record in managing the business in both public and private markets positions OneSpaWorld as an attractive vehicle for future long-term growth within the global hospitality-based health and wellness industry.

Growth Strategies

 

Capture Highly Visible New Ship Growth with Current Cruise Line Partners

 

We expect to continue to benefit long-term from a return to the cruise industry’s capacity for growth, with a consistent and visible pipeline of new ships commissioned annually by our cruise line partners. By the end of 2026, our existing cruise line partners are expected to introduce 16 new ships. Through established cruise line partner relationships, current contracts, competitive

positioning of our operating infrastructure, track record of delivering extraordinary guest experiences, and an approximately 97% contract renewal rate over the last 15 years, we are well-positioned to capture new ship growth over the long term.

Expand Market Share by Adding New Potential Cruise Line Partners

 

Despite our over 90% market share in the outsourced maritime health and wellness market, we continue to pursue opportunities to win new contracts with cruise lines that utilize our much smaller and less resourced competitors. We also execute differentiated strategies to engage with cruise lines that do not currently outsource their health and wellness centers, but that may have an interest in contracting with us in the future due to our strong global operating platform, reputation for outstanding investment in our partnerships, proven record of creating material value for our partners, and financial and operational resources. As evidenced by our successful history of winning new contracts, we remain focused on continuing to protect and grow our dominant market share at sea.

Continue Launching Innovative New Value-Added Services and Products

 

We have successfully innovated services and products to meet guests’ ever-changing needs, attract more guests and generate more revenue and profitability per guest. Medi-spa has been a highly successful innovation for OneSpaWorld at sea and is now an accretive component of our offerings. Performed by medically licensed professionals, the medi-spa offerings provide the latest cosmetic medical services to guests, such as non-surgical cosmetic procedures, including Dysport, Restylane, CoolSculpting, Thermage, and dermal fillers. Guests purchasing medi-spa services spend on average up to 5x more than on traditional health, beauty and wellness services. We continue to roll out incremental revenue opportunities, including Hyperice percussion and vibration therapy products and related services. We will continue to focus on launching higher value-add services and products that meet guest demands, align with and enhance our cruise line and destination resort partner brands, optimize health and wellness center utilization, and maximize center-level profitability.

Focus on Enhancing Health and Wellness Center Productivity

 

Cruise lines have become increasingly focused on growing onboard revenue as a way to enhance revenue beyond traditional cabin ticket sales. Between 2013 and 2023, onboard spend on the three largest cruise operators we serve increased by $8.2 billion, from $6.5 billion to $14.7 billion. We are focused on collaborating with cruise line partners to increase passenger penetration and maximize revenue yield through the following initiatives:

 

Increase Pre-Booking and Pre-Payment Capture Rate —We are collaborating proactively with our cruise line partners to employ increased and enhanced marketing and promotion campaigns to engage guests upon booking their vacation experience, well before boarding a ship, through pre-booking. Pre-booked appointments can yield approximately 30% more revenue than services booked onboard the ship. Due to our success across select cruise lines that have implemented pre-booking capabilities, we are in the process of implementing pre-booking across additional partner cruise lines.
Expand Targeted Marketing and Promotion Initiatives —We are now directly marketing and distributing promotions to onboard passengers as a result of enhanced collaboration with select cruise line partners. These promotions are personalized and individually tailored to guests’ profiles and have successfully driven traffic and revenue at our health and wellness centers. Examples include “happy anniversary” messages to couples, “happy birthday” notes to individual guests, and promotional retail credits offered to guests who visit our centers before the end of their cruise. Guests that received these customized promotions were responsible for approximately 9% of revenues generated during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Utilize Technology to Increase Utilization and Enhance Service Mix —We have recently begun to successfully introduce and expand technology-enabled dynamic pricing initiatives with selected cruise line partners. While dynamic pricing strategies have historically been applied manually by onboard staff, we are currently rolling out online and pre-cruise access to drive off-peak utilization rates and fill higher-demand time slots with higher-value bookings. This enhanced dynamic pricing capability is currently available with only a few cruise line partners, representing a significant opportunity for revenue growth as it is rolled out and optimized fleet-wide.
Extend Retail Beyond the Ship —Our Shop & Ship program provides guests the ability to buy retail products onboard and have products shipped directly to their home to avoid the hassle of packing products in their luggage. On average, a Shop & Ship customer spends more than 3.5x the amount of a non-Shop & Ship customer on retail products. The Shop & Ship program, combined with our e-commerce platform timetospa.com, gives us the ability to maintain a connection with each guest beyond the cruise voyage.

Health and Wellness Services

 

We curate and deliver an ever-innovating broad range of offerings for our cruise line and destination resort partners, centered around a holistic wellness approach, which includes:

Spa and Beauty. We offer a specialized suite of massage and body care services and therapies, together with a broad range of beauty treatments, including facials, hair cutting and styling, manicures and pedicures, and teeth whitening services, among other services custom-designed for our cruise line and destination resort partners.
Medi-spa. We offer medi-spa services on the majority of our ships. Our service menu consists of the leading medi-spa brands, including Dysport, Restylane, CoolSculpting, Thermage, dermal fillers, and microneedling, among others. Medi-spa services are administered by medically licensed professionals. By the end of 2024, we expect to offer medi-spa services on 148 ships.
Health. Our health and pain management offerings present one of our largest and most profitable categories. Our offerings include acupuncture, electro acupuncture, cupping, posture and gait analysis, GoodFeet Arch Supports, physical therapy, and NormaTec® recovery. Our services are enhanced by our retail sale of our product offerings associated with the services.
Fitness. We offer guests use of premier fitness centers, featuring industry leading brands, programming and equipment, as well as personalized training services and expert consultation by our fitness professionals. These fitness centers offer guests use of strength equipment and cardiovascular equipment, such as treadmills, elliptical machines, exercise bicycles and rowing and stair machines featuring premier brands including Technogym®, Life Fitness, Peloton and TRX®. Boutique fitness classes, including yoga, Pilates, F45 Training, certain Xponential Fitness brands, and indoor cycling are also available to guests for a fee or at no charge, depending on the class. Our fitness instructors are available to provide paid services, such as body composition analysis and personal training.
Nutrition. We offer guests paid personal nutritional and dietary consultation, weight management, nutrition coaching and detoxification. Guests can begin a program on the cruise or at certain of our land-based health and wellness centers and remain engaged with our professional coaches through the successful completion of their programs, generating ongoing purchases of nutritional and detoxification products via our e-commerce platform timetospa.com.
Mind-Body and Wellness. We offer our guests yoga, Tai Chi and sound therapy in addition to meditation and biofeedback.
Thermal suites. We offer guests the option to purchase passes for dedicated thermal suite areas on many of the ships where we operate health and wellness centers. Thermal suites are typically located on higher decks and offer sweeping views of the ocean, enabling our guests to relax, recharge, and enjoy various hot and cold hydro-therapies and related amenities, such as thermal loungers, infrared saunas, snow rooms, laconiums (dry heat saunas), caldarium chambers (herbal steam rooms), and hammams (Turkish-style steam rooms). Certain thermal suites also offer cold plunge pools, large therapeutic jacuzzis, and rooms surrounding occupants with layers of body cleansing salt crystals.

We sell over 1,100 branded product SKUs sourced from over 75 vendors due to our scale, superior operations, industry longevity and attractive captive audience at sea and on land. We sell products from leading brands, including ELEMIS, Thermage, Dysport, GoodFeet Arch Supports and GO SMILE Teeth Whitening. We have an exclusive 10-year supply agreement with ELEMIS, which may be continued at our election for an additional five years. We believe we have a leading retail attachment rate based on the number of products purchased in conjunction with a service compared to the broader consumer personal care services and retail industry. During 2023, product sales comprised approximately 18% of our revenues, enabling incremental revenue even at full treatment room utilization.

 

We utilize more than 71,000 square feet of warehouse space operated by a third party logistics provider in the Miami, FL metropolitan area to handle domestic cargo, bonded cargo, and Foreign Trade Zone international goods, enabling us to provide fulfillment services for our cruise inventory, e-commerce, and Shop & Ship program.

 

Health and Wellness Centers

As of December 31, 2023, we operated state-of-the-art health and wellness centers on 193 ships, including substantially all of the major cruise lines globally, and 51 land-based destination resorts, principally in the United States, the Caribbean and Asia. Health

and wellness centers are designed and branded for each cruise and destination resort partner to optimize the guest experience, maximize revenues and align with our partners’ brands and hospitality environment. Health and wellness centers can range in size to more than 30,000 square feet and generally provide fitness areas, treatment rooms and salons, as well as elaborate thermal suites and/or saunas. Onboard health and wellness centers are generally located on higher ship decks, which encourages increased passenger interest and guest traffic.

 

Facility Design

 

Our cruise line and destination resort partners each seek differentiated health and wellness experiences for their guests. As such, we provide design capabilities for our cruise line and destination resort partners, creating bespoke branding and design consulting to optimize guest experiences and maximize revenues. We operate health and wellness centers under proprietary brands of Mandara® and Chavana®, as well as brands curated specifically for each cruise line, complete with cruise line and/or ship-specific service menus. As of December 31, 2023, we had 36 health and wellness centers under the Mandara brand, 11 centers under the Chavana brand, and one center under our destination resort health and wellness brand, “Glow ®, a Mandara Spa.”

Principal Cruise Line Partners

A significant portion of our revenue is generated from operating health and wellness centers under long-term contracts with the following cruise line partners, each of which accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively: Carnival (including Carnival, Carnival Australia, Costa, Cunard, Holland America, P&O, Princess, and Seabourn cruise lines): 41.1%, 41.0%, and 36.7%, Royal Caribbean (including Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Azamara and Silversea cruise lines): 27.9%, 28.0%, and 22.8%, and Norwegian Cruise Line (including Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises): 16.4%, 15.6%, and 11.4%. These companies, combined, accounted for 168 of the 193 ships served by OneSpaWorld as of December 31, 2023. Our contracts are executed at the individual cruise line brand level, not with the parent company, giving OneSpaWorld a diverse customer base despite parent company aggregated revenue mix. Our contracts average six years in duration.

Cruise Line and Destination Resort Agreements

 

Through our cruise line and destination resort agreements, we have the exclusive right to offer health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and the ability to sell complementary products onboard the ships and at the destination resorts we serve. Under the cruise line agreements, guests pay for our services through our cruise line partners, who retain a specified percentage of gross receipts from such sales before remitting the remainder to us. Our revenue share agreements result in a highly variable cost model, where the primary fixed costs are the meals and accommodations for our shipboard employees. Most of our cruise line agreements cover all of the then-operating ships of a cruise line and typically new ships are added to ships in service through an amendment to the agreement. The agreements have specified terms ranging from three to 8.6 years, with an average remaining term per ship of approximately three years as of December 31, 2023. Cruise lines can terminate the agreements with limited or no advance notice under certain circumstances, including, among other things, the withdrawal of a ship from the cruise trade, the sale or lease of a ship, or our failure to achieve specified passenger service standards. However, we have never had a contract terminated prior to our respective expiration date.

 

We operate our destination resort health and wellness centers pursuant to agreements with the owners of the properties involved. Our destination resort health and wellness centers generally are required to pay rent based on a percentage of our revenues, with others having fixed rents. Some of our destination resort agreements also require that we make minimum rental payments irrespective of the amount of our revenues. The terms of the agreements for our destination resort health and wellness centers generally range from five to 20 years (including the terms of renewals available at our option). In the U.S. and Caribbean, destination resort health and wellness centers generally have a higher investment cost and lower revenue share with higher staff costs and contracts lasting ten years on average. In Asia, destination resort health and wellness centers have lower investment cost, higher revenue share, lower staff costs, and contracts averaging five years.

 

Marketing and Promotion

 

We market and promote our services and products to cruise passengers and destination resort guests through targeted marketing, including pre-and post-cruise emails, website advertising, on-site demonstrations and seminars, video presentations shown on in-cabin/in-room television, ship newsletters, tours of our centers, and dedicated signage around the ship. We also encourage our employees to cross-sell, as they believe that such cross-promotional activities frequently result in our customers purchasing services and/or products in addition to those they initially contemplated buying. For example, we cross-sell our fitness body assessment with detox programs, vitamins, and seaweed wraps. We also maintain a dedicated sales desk to facilitate pre-cruise health and wellness services booking and to disseminate health and wellness information for charters and other groups of cruise passengers.

 

11


 

Recent collaborative initiatives with cruise line partners have proven to enhance performance across certain key performance indicators. We have developed a fully integrated pre-booking platform, which allows guests to book health and wellness treatments up to 12 months prior to the voyage. Pre-booked guests on average spend approximately 30% more than guests who book services once already onboard. We recently introduced a new pricing strategy, simplifying the choice architecture for our guests while continuing to make price adjustments across multiple areas within our spas. Guests have responded positively, resulting in an increased service spend coupled with a higher frequency of longer treatments booked, and a shift toward booking relatively more premium and signature services. We have begun rolling out our dynamic pricing model to our full cruise fleet, which provides the ability to optimize demand and maximize utilization of our health and wellness centers. We continually monitor the results of our marketing efforts and adjust our strategies in order to use our marketing resources in a cost-effective manner.

Competition

 

With our over 90% market share in the outsourced maritime health and wellness center operations segment of the cruise industry, we currently compete with a small number of competitors. Across the destination resorts business, we compete with other outsource providers of health, fitness, beauty and wellness services to hotel and destination resort operators. The destination resorts business is highly fragmented, with no clear leader within this category.

 

Seasonality

 

A significant portion of our revenues are generated onboard cruise ships and are subject to specific individual cruise itineraries as to time of year and geographic location, among other factors. As a result, we experience varying degrees of seasonality as the demand for cruises is stronger in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer months and during holidays. Accordingly, the third quarter and holiday periods generally result in the highest revenue yields for us. Further, cruises and destination resorts have been negatively affected by the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, which may be impacted by climate change. The negative impact of hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere is highest during peak hurricane season from August to October.

 

Trademarks

 

We hold or control numerous trademarks in the United States and a number of other countries. Our most recognized health and wellness products and services trademarks are for Mandara and Chavana. We believe that the use of our trademarks is important in establishing and maintaining our reputation for providing high quality health and wellness services, as well as cosmetic goods, and we are committed to protecting these trademarks by all appropriate legal means.

 

Registrations for the OneSpaWorld, Mandara and Chavana trademarks, among others, have been obtained in a number of countries throughout the world. We continue to apply for other trademark registrations in various countries.

While a number of the trademarks we use have been registered in the United States and other countries, the registrations of other trademarks that we use are pending. Recently, we have adopted the mark “OneSpaWorld” as the trade name of our maritime health and wellness business to reflect our position as a global provider of shipboard products and services.

We license “Mandara” for use by luxury destination resorts in certain Asian countries.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility

We strive to impart a positive impact on the environment and the lives of our employees, our guests, and the people and cultures of the communities we visit, where we operate, and where we call home. To achieve this, our strategic priorities include programs that promote responsible practices throughout our business, assure a respectful and equitable workplace, enhance our employees' personal and career development, strengthen our data privacy and cybersecurity, and support local communities and organizations. In so doing, we are effecting long-term sustainable growth of the Company and creating long-term value for our cruise line and destination resort partners and our shareholders.

With respect to environmental matters, we manage our operations alongside our third-party suppliers, cruise line operators, landlords, and other business partners. Among our practices, we source products for our spa treatments and services from world-renowned skincare brands, some of which have initiated plastics reduction in their packaging. We operate on cruise lines that comply with marine environmental regulations. In addition, we reduce paper and plastic container usage, recycle materials in the workplace, and utilize light sensors to reduce electricity consumption.

With respect to our employees, we invest in the recruitment and advancement of individuals with diverse demographic and socioeconomic backgrounds, experiences, and talents. We prioritize our employees' personal and professional development, and

12


 

support our teams by implementing and administering health and safety measures in our shipboard and land-based facilities. See “Human Capital,” below, for further description of our social responsibility objectives and initiatives.

With respect to governance, we maintain policies to address ethical trading, confidential and non-public personal information, anti-fraud, anti-corruption, third party risk management, trade control compliance, data transfers, internal auditing services, global privacy, and global regulatory compliance, among others.

Our Board of Directors (the “Board”) directly oversees procedures and corporate culture promoting and upholding the ethical conduct of the Company’s business, including adopting and monitoring compliance with the Company’s Code of Ethics, which sets forth the Company’s policies of promoting high standards of integrity by and toward our employees. The Compensation Committee of our Board is responsible for advising the Board with respect to the compensation philosophy, policies, and procedures pertaining to our employees, in order to attract, retain and motivate the most talented personnel. The Audit Committee of our Board is responsible for establishing procedures for identifying and fully addressing employee complaints and concerns through the Company’s Ethics Hotline and otherwise. The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board is responsible for developing, recommending to the Board, and reviewing on an ongoing basis the Company’s social responsibility and sustainability policies, as well as reviewing and recommending to the Board enhancements to the Company’s Code of Ethics.

Human Capital

As a pre-eminent global operator of health and wellness services, our people are essential to our operations and core to the long-term success of our Company. Our employees are responsible for upholding our purpose, integrity, and accountability, and representing OneSpaWorld’s mission and values as a global health and wellness company. To attract, retain, motivate and advance the best talent, we strive to embed a culture where employees can safely thrive in an environment supportive of their unique personalities, talents, passions, strengths, challenges, responsibilities, and personal and career goals.

Our People. As of December 31, 2023, we had a total of 5,024 full-time employees, of which 4,762 worked primarily in health and wellness center operations, including management, sales, and support positions on cruise ships and in destination resorts around the world, 213 represented corporate management and operational support staff, and 49 were involved primarily in recruiting and training. On each cruise ship and in every destination resort health and wellness center, we have a general manager and typically an assistant manager training to become a general manager, along with up to 83 total staff, depending on the scale of the health and wellness center. As a global operation, we have diverse teams of employees representative of the partners and markets we serve and in which we operate. We believe our employee relationships are strong across our business. We have a 100% promotion rate for our health and wellness center general managers, an average tenure of ten years for employees at our Coral Gables office, and tenures of 20 to more than 30 years for our senior leaders, many of whom started with the Company as shipboard health and wellness center team members and advanced to positions at our Coral Gables office and London Wellness Academy.
Culture and Ethics. A culture of ethical behavior is at the forefront of our organization, binding our values and mission across every aspect of our business. We have instituted best practices to ensure that we continue to operate to the highest standards, including requiring all our employees to familiarize themselves during the training with, and adhere strictly to, our Code of Ethics and our corporate social responsibility and sustainability policies.
Diversity & Inclusion. Our Company achieves success by recruiting, training, supporting and resourcing our employees from diverse global populations, so as to best serve our cruise line and destination resort partners' diverse global customer base. We maintain an unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion among our staff. OneSpaWorld is an equal opportunity employer, and we promote and celebrate diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Our employees are sourced globally and represent 88 nationalities, speaking 27 languages. In addition, at our corporate offices in the U.S. and our North America health and wellness centers, our employee base is comprised of seven distinct ethnicities. As of December 31, 2023, our employees had the following attributes:

We educate employees, managers, and leadership on our essential objectives, strategies and initiatives to achieve broad diversity and inclusion across every element of our business. Among other initiatives, we provide annual trainings for all of our employees to assure awareness and adherence to our policies, practices, and procedures toward effecting a culture of civility, harassment prevention, reporting and intervention in all respects, and a fully respectful workplace.

Talent Attraction. Our success depends on our ability to recruit and train employees skilled in our customer service philosophy. We recruit prospective shipboard health and wellness center employees from a broad spectrum of geographies providing a pipeline of diverse talent from a wide range of demographics and economies. We are proud to bring valuable long-term employment and career opportunities to individuals residing and supporting families in major economies such as Australia, the British Isles, Canada, continental Europe, India, Indonesia, Mauritius, the Philippines, South Africa, South America, and Thailand, as well as smaller, less developed employment markets such as Bhutan, the Caribbean, Madagascar, Nepal, Nigeria, Ukraine, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, among others. We advertise U.S. corporate and destination resort health and wellness center positions on a human resources applicant tracking system, which provides visibility toward all applicants, including diverse candidates.

Talent Retention: Compensation and Benefits. We strive to provide competitive pay and benefits for our employees.

Shipboard health and wellness center employees typically are employed under nine month-long agreements with fixed terms. Our compensation structure includes commissions received in connection with the provision of services and sales of products in our health and wellness centers. We make available to all our shipboard employees comprehensive health and dental care, free of charge during the terms of their employment agreements, as well as long-term disability and accidental death coverage, among other benefits. We provide transportation for our shipboard employees to and from their home countries. Our shipboard employees and their families and friends enjoy discounts on the services and products we offer for sale, as well as personalized fitness and wellness programs. We continuously strive to improve staff retention, resulting in staff across our fleet being comprised of more than 63% experienced personnel.

Our U.S. corporate and destination resort health and wellness center employees are eligible to receive Company sponsored benefits, including medical, dental and vision insurance coverage, 401(k) retirement plan participation, personal short and long-term disability, critical illness coverage, flexible spending accounts, basic life insurance and basic accidental death and dismemberment coverage, medical indemnity, and off the job accident insurance, as well as family member life insurance and accidental death and dismemberment coverage. We also provide an employee assistance program free of charge to our employees and members of their households, offering face-to-face mental health counseling sessions with a local provider, legal assistance, financial consultations, resources and referrals for childcare assistance and adoption, eldercare, pet care, and consultations with fraud resolution specialists intended to prevent identity theft.

Training and Development. Our business proactively innovates to serve the ever-changing needs and desires of our cruise line and destination resort partners and their guests. To do so, we arm our employees with best-in-class training and development in emerging areas of health and wellness and encourage all of our employees to apply a mindset of innovation. We operate in areas that are subject to specific regulation and licensing, and have developed extensive training and certification practices. Our efforts include training at our London Wellness Academy and our satellite training facilities in India, South Africa and the Philippines, ranging from two to six weeks depending on the profession and modality of each employee, onboard training for certain of our shipboard employees, and management training courses at our Coral Gables office. All our employees are required to complete sexual harassment training.

We train, support, and encourage our employees to progress through roles of increasing responsibility within our corporate structure during their tenures by providing numerous opportunities for development and training support. Most senior corporate positions are served by employees who began their careers as members of our shipboard health and wellness center teams. In our offices, employees receive annual career development training through the Company’s learning management system, which features subject-specific learning modules relevant to our globally complex operations and diverse organization.

Health and Safety. The health and safety of our employees is one of our highest priorities. Our shipboard employees complete health and safety training upon boarding the vessels on which they serve. Certain shipboard employees also complete additional training on safe practices when providing our services, and training on cleaning and sanitization of our equipment and spa facilities. Our employees also receive training using our comprehensive manual entitled “Guidelines for Protection and Sanitization,” or “GPS,” prior to returning to work. Our health and safety programs and policies are developed and implemented alongside our cruise line partners to mitigate risks and maintain safe environments for our employees and customers.
Succession Planning. The success of our business relies on the devoted and experienced leadership of our cruise ship and destination resort health and wellness center managers and our corporate leaders, both senior executives and operational managers. We continually strive to foster the personal and professional development of managers throughout the organization. As a result, as discussed under “Our People,” above, we have developed a strong group of leaders with lengthy tenures. The performance of our senior management team members is subject to ongoing monitoring and evaluation, intended to ensure efficient identification of potential successors and smooth transitions within the team.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition, or operating results could be harmed, and have been harmed, by any of these risks, as well as other risks not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial. The trading price of our securities could decline, and has declined, due to any of these risks, and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Actual or Threatened Epidemics or Pandemics may Have an Adverse Effect on our Business, Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Pandemics have had in the past, and may continue to have in the future, an adverse impact on our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition, including liquidity. We could become subject to actions taken by governments, businesses and individuals in response to the recent pandemic or future pandemics, including limiting or banning travel and cruises. A recurrence of the recent pandemic or future pandemics could have a negative impact on global and regional economies and economic activity, including an impact on unemployment rates and consumer discretionary spending, a short and/or longer-term impact on the demand for travel, transient and group business, and levels of consumer confidence. A recurrence of the recent pandemic or future pandemics could also present a significant threat to our employees’ well-being and morale, which may impact employee productivity and employee retention.

 

In response to the recent pandemic, we took steps to reduce expenses, including repatriating our shipboard staff, furloughing certain destination resort health and wellness center personnel, capital expenditures and operating expenses, deferring payment of dividends declared and the suspension of our dividend program. If we were required to take such steps again in the future, guest loyalty, customer preferences, or our ability to attract and retain employees, destination resort partners or investors, may be negatively impacted, and our reputation and market share could suffer as a result. We may also incur additional costs if we are subject to greater hygiene-related protocols in our services that are mandated by government authorities or other international authorities. In addition, the industry as a whole may be subject to enhanced health and hygiene requirements in attempts to counteract future outbreaks, which requirements may be costly and take a significant amount of time to implement.

 

The recent pandemic caused, and future pandemics may again cause, heightened volatility and disruptions in the global credit and financial markets, and this may adversely affect our ability to borrow and could increase our counterparty credit risks. Additionally, future pandemics may have adverse negative impacts on restrictions in the agreements governing our indebtedness that require us to maintain minimum levels of liquidity and otherwise limit our flexibility in operating our business, including the significant portion of assets that are collateral under these agreements.

 

Some credit agencies may downgrade our credit ratings in the future as a result of a pandemic. If our credit ratings are downgraded, or if general market conditions were to ascribe a higher risk to our credit rating levels, our industry, or our company, our access to capital and the cost of debt financing could be negatively impacted. The interest rate we pay on our existing debt instruments is affected by our credit ratings. Accordingly, a downgrade may cause our cost of borrowing to further increase.

We Depend on Our Agreements with Cruise Lines and Destination Resort Health and Wellness Centers; if These Agreements Terminate, Our Business Would Be Harmed

 

A significant portion of our revenues are generated from our cruise ship health and wellness operations under our long-term agreements with our cruise line partners, which were adversely impacted by the recent pandemic, and could be adversely impacted again by pandemics in the future. Failure to renew our cruise line and destination resort agreements after their expiration date on similar terms or at all could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

In addition, these agreements provide for termination by the cruise lines with limited or no advance notice under certain circumstances, including, among other things, the withdrawal of a ship from the cruise trade, the sale or lease of a ship or our failure to achieve specified passenger service standards. Due to our cruise line partners having paused their guest cruise operations as a result of the recent pandemic, 26 vessels on which we operated health and wellness centers were taken out of service permanently or sold to other cruise line operators by our cruise line partners, including operators we currently serve, between 2020 and 2022. Subsequently, we resumed operations on two of those vessels. Termination or nonrenewal of cruise line agreements, either upon completion of their terms or prior thereto, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Some of our land-based destination resort health and wellness center agreements also provide for termination with limited advance notice under certain circumstances.

 

As a result of the consolidation of the cruise industry, the number of independent cruise lines has decreased in recent years, and this trend may continue. Also, some cruise lines have ceased operating and this may happen to other cruise lines in the future. As a result of these factors, a small number of cruise companies, substantially all of which currently are our customers, dominate the cruise industry.

We Depend on the Cruise Industry and Their Risks Are Risks to Us

 

Prior to the recent pandemic, the cruise industry had never before experienced a complete cessation of its operations. The public concern over the recent pandemic, coupled with a drop in demand for international travel and leisure, and restrictions on international travel and immigration, adversely affected the demand for cruises. In addition, the recent pandemic caused, and may continue to cause, some cruise lines to declare bankruptcy or cause their lenders to declare a default, accelerate the related debt, or foreclose on collateral. Such bankruptcies, accelerations or foreclosures could, in some cases, result in the termination of our agreements with certain of our cruise line partners and eliminate our anticipated income and cash flows, which could negatively affect our results of operations. Cruise lines in bankruptcy may not have sufficient assets to pay us termination fees, other unpaid fees, or reimbursements we are owed under their agreements with us. Even if some cruise lines do not declare bankruptcy, they may be unable or unwilling to pay us amounts to which we are entitled on a timely basis or at all. Cruise lines compete for consumer disposable leisure time dollars with virtually all other vacation alternatives. Demand for cruises is dependent on the underlying economic strength of the countries from which cruise lines source their passengers. Economic changes such as unemployment, economic uncertainty, and the threat of a global recession reduce disposable income or consumer confidence in the countries from which our cruise line partners source their passengers and have affected the demand for vacations, including cruise vacations, which are discretionary purchases.

 

According to CLIA, North America, our core market, continues to remain the largest source market, with the Caribbean remaining the top destination for cruise travelers. During 2022, 32% of passengers in the global cruise industry were sourced from North America. A growing number of passengers are sourced from outside North America in markets such as Western and Eastern Europe, Asia, Australasia, South America, and the Middle East. A significant portion of the cruise industry’s growth is expected to come from expansion of markets outside of our core North American market. We believe that non-North American passengers spend less on our services and products than North American passengers.

 

Our health and wellness centers on ships operating in the North American market are currently our best performing centers, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate the same revenue performance in non-North American markets. Additionally, our cruise line partners dictate the itineraries and geographies where their ships sail, and they may change itineraries to be less favorable to our revenue performance.

 

Other recent trends are those of certain cruise lines reducing the number of cruises to certain long-standing destinations and replacing them with alternative exotic destinations, as well as extending the length of voyages. Such replacements and extensions could result in cruises producing lower revenues per voyage than produced in prior years, which may impact our revenues.

 

Accidents and other incidents involving cruise ships can materially adversely affect the cruise industry, as well as our results of operations and financial condition. Among other things, accidents reduce our revenues and increase the costs of our maritime-related insurance. In addition, accidents can adversely affect consumer demand for cruise vacations.

Other risks to the cruise industry include unscheduled withdrawals of ships from service, delays in new ship introductions, environmental violations by cruise lines, and restricted access of cruise ships to environmentally sensitive regions, hurricanes and other adverse weather conditions and increases in fuel costs. For example, in the past, hurricanes have caused the withdrawal of ships that we served from service for use in hurricane relief efforts, as well as the temporary closing of cruise ports and the destruction of facilities. A number of cruise ships have experienced outbreaks of illnesses such as norovirus, E.coli, measles and COVID-19 that have affected, at times, hundreds of passengers on a ship.

 

Severe weather conditions, both at sea and at ports of embarkation, also could adversely affect the cruise industry. The cruise industry also relies to a significant extent on airlines to transport passengers to ports of embarkation. A drastic reduction in airline services, and travel and immigration related restrictions due to the impacts of the recent pandemic, have adversely affected us. In addition, any strikes or other disruptions of airline service, including those that could follow terrorist attacks or armed hostilities, could adversely affect the ability of cruise passengers or our shipboard staff to reach their ports of embarkation, or could cause cancellation of cruises.

 

Cruise ships have increasingly had, and are expected to continue to have, itineraries which provide for the ships to be in port during cruises. When cruise ships are in port, our revenues are adversely affected compared with our revenues when cruise ships are at sea.

 

Cruise ships periodically go into dry-dock for routine maintenance, repairs and refurbishment for periods ranging from one to three weeks. Cruise ships also may be taken out of service unexpectedly for non-routine maintenance and repairs as a result of damage from an accident or otherwise, such as the Oasis of the Seas, Carnival Horizon, and Carnival Panorama incidents in 2019, 2021, and 2024, respectively. A ship also may go out of service with respect to us if it is transferred to a cruise line we do not serve or if it is retired from service. While we attempt to plan appropriately for the scheduled removal from service of ships we serve, unexpected removals from service of ships we serve can hamper the efficient distribution of our shipboard personnel, in addition to causing unexpected reductions in our shipboard revenues.

 

The cruise lines’ capacity has grown in recent years and is expected to continue to grow over the next few years as new ships are introduced. In order to utilize the new capacity, it is likely that the cruise industry will need to increase its share of the overall vacation market. In order to increase that market share, cruise lines may be required to offer discounted fares to prospective passengers, which would have the potentially adverse effects on us described above.

 

We Are Required to Make Minimum Payments under Our Agreements and May Face Increasing Payments to Cruise Lines and Owners of Our Destination Resort Health and Wellness Centers

 

We are obligated to make minimum annual payments to certain cruise lines and owners of our land-based venues regardless of the amount of revenues we receive from customers. We may also be required to make such minimum annual payments under any future agreements into which we enter. Accordingly, we could be obligated to pay more in minimum payments than the amount we collect from customers. As of December 31, 2023, these payments were required by three of the agreements for our destination resort health and wellness centers.

 

As of December 31, 2023, we guaranteed total minimum payments to owners of our land-based venues of approximately $2.2 million in the aggregate for 2024. As of December 31, 2023, we guaranteed total minimum payments to cruise lines of approximately $143.5 million in the aggregate for 2024. This amount does not take into account canceled cruise voyages, which would not be subject to guaranteed minimum payment requirements. As we renew or enter into new agreements with cruise lines and land-based venues, we may experience increases in such required payments.

 

We Depend on the Continued Viability of the Ships and Destination Resort Health and Wellness Centers We Serve

Our revenues from our shipboard guests and guests at our destination resort health and wellness centers can only be generated if the ships and land-based venues we serve are open for business and continue to operate. Historically, some smaller cruise lines we served have ceased operating for economic reasons. We cannot be assured of the continued viability of any of the land-based venues (including our ability to protect our investments in build-outs of health and wellness centers) or cruise lines that we serve, particularly in the event of recurrence of the more severe aspects of the economic slowdown experienced in certain prior years, which may recur due to a future pandemic or other disruptions. To the extent that cruise lines or land-based venues we serve, or could potentially serve in the future, cease to operate all or a portion of their operations, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

18


 

Increased Costs Could Adversely Impact our Financial Results

To date we have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant costs due to the recent pandemic, including costs relating to transportation, including repatriation, of our staff, and hygiene-related protocols in our services that are mandated by government authorities or other international authorities. In addition, we expect that the industry as a whole will continue to be subject to enhanced health and hygiene requirements, which requirements may be costly and take a significant amount of time to implement across our global fleet of cruise operations.

Periods of higher fuel costs can adversely affect us directly. We depend on commercial airlines for the transportation of our shipboard employees to and from the ships we serve and, as a result, we pay for a relatively large number of flights for these employees each year. During times of higher fuel costs, such as those experienced in certain prior years, airfares, including those applicable to the transportation of our employees, have been increased by the airlines we have utilized. Additionally, increased fuel costs could also add to the costs of delivery of our products to the ships we serve and other destinations in the future. Higher fuel charges also increase the cost to consumers of transportation to cruise ship destination ports and to venues where we operate our destination resort health and wellness centers, and also increase the cost of utilities at our destination resort health and wellness centers. Periods of increasing fuel costs would likely cause these transportation costs to correspondingly increase. Extended periods of increased airfares could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Increases in prices of other commodities utilized by us in our business could adversely affect us. For example, in certain prior years, as a result of increases in the cost of cotton, the cost to us of linens and uniforms utilized in our operations has increased. Our land-based health and wellness operations also have experienced an increase in the cost of electrical utilities. Increases in minimum wage obligations in jurisdictions where we employ personnel have also affected us directly and could adversely impact our results of operation and financial condition.

 

We Depend on Our Key Officers and Qualified Employees

Our continued success will depend to a significant extent on our senior executive officers, including Leonard Fluxman, our Executive Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Lazarus, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, and Susan Bonner, our Chief Commercial Officer. The unanticipated loss of the services of any of these persons or other key management personnel, due to illness, resignation or otherwise could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our success is dependent on our ability to recruit and retain personnel qualified to perform our services. Shipboard employees typically are employed pursuant to agreements with terms of nine months. Our land-based health and wellness employees generally are employed without contracts, on an at-will basis. Other providers of shipboard health and wellness services compete with us for shipboard personnel. We also compete with destination resort health and wellness centers and other employers for our shipboard and land-based health and wellness personnel. Our inability to attract a sufficient number of qualified personnel in the future to provide our services and products could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, due to the impacts of the recent pandemic, the immigration approval processes in the United States experienced severe backlog and may in the future proceed at a slower pace than previously had been the case. Since many of our shipboard employees are not United States citizens, continuation or exacerbation of this trend of immigration restrictions could adversely affect our ability to meet our shipboard staffing needs on a timely basis.

 

Almost all of our shipboard personnel come from jurisdictions outside the United States. Our ability to obtain non-United States shipboard employees in the future is subject to regulations in certain countries from which we source a number of our employees and, in the case of one country, control by an employment company that acts on behalf of employees and potential employees from that country. In addition, in that country, we are required to deal with local employment companies to facilitate the hiring of employees. Our ability to obtain shipboard employees from those countries on economic terms that are acceptable to us may be hampered by our inability to enter into an acceptable agreement with the applicable local employment company.

 

In addition, the various jurisdictions where we operate our health and wellness centers have their own licensing or similar requirements applicable to our employees, which could affect our ability to open new health and wellness centers on a timely basis or adequately staff existing health and wellness centers. The ship we serve that is United States-based also is subject to United States labor law requirements that can result in delays in obtaining adequate staffing.

Possible Adverse Changes in United States or Foreign Tax Laws or Changes in Our Business Could Increase Our Taxes

General Background

We are a Bahamas international business company (“IBC”) that owns, among other entities, OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) Limited (formerly known as Steiner Transocean Limited) (“OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)”), our principal subsidiary and a Bahamas IBC that conducts our shipboard operations, primarily outside United States waters (which constitutes most of our shipboard activities), and One Spa World LLC, a Florida limited liability company that performs administrative services in connection with our operations in exchange for fees from OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) and other subsidiaries.

We also own, directly or indirectly, the shares of additional subsidiaries organized in the United States, the United Kingdom and other taxable jurisdictions, as well as subsidiaries organized in jurisdictions that do not subject the subsidiaries to taxation.

 

Currently, we and our non-United States subsidiaries are not subject to Bahamas income tax or other (including United States federal) income tax, except as set forth below. These non-United States subsidiaries earn a substantial portion of our revenue, which contributes to our low effective tax rate.

 

Our United States subsidiaries are subject to United States federal income tax as a consolidated group at a regular corporate rate of 21%. Generally, any dividends paid by our United States holding company to its parent, are subject to a 30% United States withholding tax. Other than as described below, we believe that none of the income generated by our non-United States subsidiaries should be effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and, accordingly, that such income should not be subject to United States federal income tax.

 

Background on United States Taxation of Our Non-United States Subsidiaries

 

A foreign corporation generally is subject to United States federal corporate income tax at a rate of 21% on its taxable income that is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States (“effectively connected income” or “ECI”). A foreign corporation also can be subject to a branch profits tax of 30% imposed on “dividend equivalent amounts” of its after-tax earnings that are ECI.

 

ECI may include any type of income from sources within the United States (“U.S.-source income”), but only limited types of income from sources without the United States (“foreign-source income”). OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) has three types of income: income from the provision of health and wellness services, income from the sales of health and wellness products and income from leasing (at rates determined on an arm’s length basis) our shipboard employees and space to a United States subsidiary that performs health and wellness services and sells health and wellness products while the ships are in United States waters and pays OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) the amounts referenced above (the “U.S. Waters Activities”).

 

We believe that most of OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s shipboard income should be treated as foreign-source income under the U.S. Treasury Department regulations for determining the source of such income (the “source rule regulations”). This belief is based on the following:

all of the functions performed, resources employed and risks assumed in connection with the performance of the above-mentioned services and sales (other than OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s involvement in the U.S. Waters Activities) occur outside of the United States; and
income to OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) from the U.S. Waters Activities is ECI, and thus subject to United States income taxation, but constitutes a small percentage of OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s total income.

 

To the extent that our belief about the source of OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s shipboard income is correct, such income would not be ECI because such income is income of a character (compensation for services, gains on sales of certain property, and rental income from the lease of tangible property) that cannot be treated as ECI unless it is treated as U.S.-source income. However, OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s shipboard income generated while in port in The Bahamas is subject to the payment of a 10% VAT payable to the Bahamas Department of Inland Revenue.

 

20


 

The Risks to OneSpaWorld

 

Under United States Treasury Department regulations, as of January 1, 2007, all or a portion of OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s income for periods commencing on or after that date could be subject to United States federal income tax at a rate of up to 35% with respect to income earned prior to January 1, 2018 and 21% with respect to income earned thereafter:

to the extent the income from OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s shipboard operations that OneSpaWorld believes are performed outside of United States territorial waters is considered by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) to be attributable to functions performed, resources employed or risks assumed within the United States or its possessions or territorial waters;
to the extent the income from OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s sale of health and wellness products for use, consumption, or disposition in international waters is considered by the IRS to be attributable to functions performed, resources employed or risks assumed within the United States, its possessions or territorial waters; or
to the extent that passage of title or transfer of ownership of products sold by OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) for use, consumption or disposition outside international waters, takes place in the United States or a United States office materially participates in such sales.

 

Additionally, if OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) were considered to be a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”) for purposes of the source rule regulations, any of its shipboard income would be considered U.S.-source income and would be subject to United States federal income tax unless such income is attributable to functions performed, resources employed or risks assumed in a foreign country or countries.

 

A foreign corporation is a CFC if more than 50% of (i) the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote or (ii) the total value of the stock of such corporation is owned or considered as owned by “United States shareholders” (“U.S. shareholders”) on any day during the taxable year of such corporation. A “U.S. Shareholder,” generally, means a “United States person” (“U.S. person”) who owns directly, indirectly or constructively at least 10% of the voting power or value of the stock of a foreign corporation. A “U.S. person” is a citizen or resident of the United States, a domestic partnership, a domestic corporation, any domestic estate or a trust over which a United States court is able to exercise administrative supervision and over which one or more U.S. persons have authority to control all substantial decisions.

 

Under certain “downward attribution” rules made applicable by a provision of Pub. L. No. 115-97, enacted December 22, 2017 (known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“TCJA”)), to determine the CFC status of a foreign corporate subsidiary of a foreign parent corporation that also has a U.S. subsidiary, the foreign subsidiary may in certain circumstances be treated as a CFC based solely on its brother-sister relationship to the U.S. subsidiary. However, on September 22, 2020, the Federal Register published an amendment to the source rule regulations (the “2020 amendment”), providing that for purposes of that regulation, the status of a foreign corporation as a CFC or not is determined without regard to the above-mentioned provision of the TCJA. The 2020 amendment applies to taxable years of foreign corporations ending on or after October 1, 2019. For taxable years of foreign corporations ending before October 1, 2019, a taxpayer may apply such provisions to the last taxable year of a foreign corporation beginning before January 1, 2018, and each subsequent taxable year of the foreign corporation, provided that the taxpayer and U.S. persons that are related (within the meaning of section 267 or 707) to the taxpayer consistently apply such provisions with respect to all foreign corporations.

 

Accordingly, solely for purposes of the source rule regulations, we believe that OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) should not be characterized as a CFC. This should allow us to treat most of our shipboard income, which is earned by a foreign corporation that would not be a CFC but for the TCJA provision referred to above, to be foreign source income to the same extent as income earned by a foreign corporation that is not a CFC.

 

If OneSpaWorld (Bahamas) is subject to United States federal income tax (at a rate of 21%) on its income that is ECI, it also would be subject to a branch profits tax of 30% on its annual dividend equivalent amount (a measure of its after-tax earnings that are considered to be withdrawn, from its United States business).

 

Separately, certain non-United States jurisdictions may also assert that OneSpaWorld (Bahamas)’s income is subject to their income tax. For example, some of our United Kingdom, Bahamas and United States subsidiaries provide goods and/or services to us and certain of our other subsidiaries. The United Kingdom or United States tax authorities may assert that some or all of these transactions do not contain arm’s length terms. In that event, income or deductions could be reallocated among our subsidiaries in a manner that could increase the United Kingdom or United States tax on us. This reallocation also could result in the imposition of interest and penalties.

 

In addition, we cannot assure you that the tax laws on which we have relied to minimize our income taxes will remain unchanged in the future. We are directly and indirectly affected by new tax legislation and regulation and the interpretation of tax laws

21


 

and regulations worldwide. Changes in such legislation, regulation or interpretation could increase our taxes and have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. This includes potential changes in tax laws or the interpretation of tax laws arising out of the Base Erosion Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project initiated by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”). In July and October of 2021, the OECD/G-20 Inclusive Framework on BEPS released statements outlining a political agreement on the general rules to be adopted for taxing the digital economy, specifically with respect to rules for nexus and profit allocation (Pillar One) and rules for a 15% global minimum tax (Pillar Two). 140 member states have agreed to support implementation, including The Bahamas, where we earn a substantial portion of our revenue. On December 15, 2022, the European Union Member States formally adopted the European Union’s Pillar Two Directive with effective dates of January 1, 2024 and January 1, 2025 for certain aspects of the directive. The Bahamas has analyzed options for the introduction of a Pillar Two-compliant income tax. If The Bahamas implements an income tax, or if The Bahamas or certain other countries in which our non-United States subsidiaries are domiciled adopt an income tax under Pillar Two and we are not exempt under any revenue-based threshold to which such an income tax might be subject, there could be a material adverse impact on our effective tax rate or higher cash tax liabilities for our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Finally, we may in the future expand our land-based operations, the income from which is generally taxable, in which case the amount of our income that is subject to tax may materially increase.

 

The Success of Health and Wellness Centers Depends on the Hospitality Industry

We are dependent on the hospitality industry for the success of destination resort centers. The public concern over the recent pandemic, coupled with a drop in demand for international travel and leisure, and restrictions on international travel and immigration have adversely affected the hospitality industry. To the extent that consumers do not choose to stay at venues where we operate health and wellness centers, over which we have no control, our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.

The considerations described above regarding the effects of adverse economic conditions on the cruise industry apply similarly to the hospitality industry, including the destination resorts where we have operations. Periods of economic slowdown result in reduced destination resort occupancy rates and decreased spending by destination resort guests, including at the destination resorts where we operate health and wellness centers. The recurrence of challenging economic conditions, as well as instances of increased fuel costs, which have occurred in certain prior years, could result in lower destination resort occupancy, which would have a direct, adverse effect on the number of destination resort guests that purchase our health and wellness services and products at the venues in question. Accordingly, such lower occupancy rates at the destination resorts we serve could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

The following are other risks related to the hospitality industry:

changes in the national, regional and local conditions (including major national or international terrorist attacks, armed hostilities, such as the recent invasion of Ukraine, or other significant adverse events, including an oversupply of hotel properties or a reduction in demand for hotel rooms);
the possible loss of funds expended for build-outs of health and wellness centers at venues that fail to open, underperform or close due to economic slowdowns or otherwise;
the attractiveness of the venues to consumers and competition from comparable venues in terms of, among other things, accessibility and cost;
the outbreaks of illnesses, such as the recent pandemic, or the perceived risk of such outbreaks, in locations where we operate land-based health and wellness centers or locations from which guests of such wellness centers are sourced;
weather conditions, including natural disasters, such as earthquakes, hurricanes, tsunamis and floods, which may be exacerbated due to climate change;
possible labor unrest or changes in economics based on collective bargaining activities;
changes in ownership, maintenance or room rates of, or popular travel patterns and guest demographics at the venues we serve;
possible conversion of guest rooms at hotels to condominium units and the decrease in health and wellness center usage that often accompanies such conversions, and the related risk that condominium hotels are less likely to be suitable venues for our health and wellness centers;
reductions in destination resort occupancy during major renovations or as a result of damage or other causes;

22


 

acquisition by destination resort chains of health and wellness service providers to create captive “in-house” brands and development by destination resort chains of their own proprietary health and wellness service providers, reducing the opportunity for third-party health and wellness providers like us; and
the financial condition of the airline industry, which has eliminated or reduced airline service to locations where we operate destination resort facilities, which has resulted and could continue to result in fewer guests at those venues.

 

We Compete with Passenger Activity Alternatives

 

We compete with passenger activity alternatives on cruise ships and with competing providers of services and products similar to our services and products seeking agreements with cruise lines. Casinos, bars and a variety of shops are found on almost all of the ships served by us. In addition, cruise line itineraries are increasingly providing for a greater number of port days, and ships dock in ports which provide opportunities for additional shopping, as well as other activities that compete with us for passenger attention and disposable income, including cruise lines' private islands, which offer a variety of attractions and amenities. Cruise ships also typically offer swimming pools and other recreational facilities and activities, as well as musical and other entertainment, all without additional charge to the passengers. Certain cruise lines we serve and have formerly served have engaged the services of third parties or their own personnel for the operation of the health and wellness centers for all or some of their ships. Additional cruise lines could take similar actions in the future. In addition, there are certain other entities offering services in the cruise industry similar to those provided by us and we may not be able to serve new cruise ships that come into service and that are not covered by our cruise line agreements.

 

Many of the land-based venues that we serve or may serve in the future offer recreational entertainment facilities and activities similar to those offered on cruise ships, often without additional charge to guests. A number of the hotels we serve also offer casino gambling. These activities and facilities compete with us for customer time and disposable income. Our destination resort health and wellness centers also compete with other health and wellness centers in their vicinities, as well as with other beauty, relaxation or other therapeutic alternatives. These include salons that offer these services at prices significantly lower than those charged by us. We believe, however, that the prices charged by us are appropriate for the quality of the experience we provide in our respective markets. In addition, we also compete, both for customers and for contracts with hotels, with health and wellness centers and beauty salons owned or operated by companies that have offered their destination resort health and wellness services longer than we have, some of which enjoy greater name recognition with customers and prospective customers than health and wellness centers operated by us. Also, a number of these health and wellness center operators may have greater resources than we do. Further, some hotel operators provide health and wellness services themselves. If we are unable to compete effectively in one or more areas of our operations, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

 

Risks Relating to Non-U.S. Operations and Hostilities

 

The cruise lines we serve operate in waters and call on ports throughout the world and our destination resort health and wellness centers are located in a variety of countries. Operating internationally exposes us to a number of risks, including increased exposure to a wider range of regional and local economic conditions, volatile local political conditions, potential changes in duties and taxes, including changing and/or uncertain interpretations of existing tax laws and regulations, required compliance with additional laws and policies affecting cruising, vacation or maritime businesses or governing the operations of foreign-based companies, currency fluctuations, interest rate movements, difficulties in operating under local business environments, port quality and availability in certain regions, U.S. and global anti-bribery laws or regulations, imposition of trade barriers and restrictions on repatriation of earnings.

 

Operating globally also exposes us to numerous and sometimes conflicting legal, regulatory and tax requirements. In many parts of the world, including countries in which we operate, practices in the local business communities might not conform to international business standards. We must adhere to policies designed to promote legal and regulatory compliance as well as applicable laws and regulations. However, we might not be successful in ensuring that our employees, agents, representatives and other third parties with whom we associate throughout the world properly adhere to them. Failure by us, our employees or any of these third parties to adhere to our policies or applicable laws or regulations could result in penalties, sanctions, damage to our reputation and related costs which in turn could negatively affect our results of operations and cash flows.

 

As a global operator, our business may also be impacted by changes in U.S. policy or priorities in areas such as trade, immigration and/or environmental or labor regulations, among others. Depending on the nature and scope of any such changes, they could impact our domestic and international business operations. Any such changes, and any international response to them, could potentially introduce new barriers to passenger or crew travel and/or cross border transactions, impact our guest experience and/or increase our operating costs.

 

23


 

The waters and countries in which we operate include geographic regions that, from time to time, experience political and civil unrest and armed hostilities. Political unrest in areas where we operate health and wellness centers also has adversely affected our operations and continued political unrest in the Middle East has adversely affected the travel industry in that region. The threat of additional attacks and of armed hostilities internationally, such as the hostilities in Eastern Europe and Ukraine, or locally, may cause prospective travelers to cancel their plans, including plans for cruise or land-based venue vacations. Weaker cruise industry and land-based venue performance could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Increasing Scrutiny and Changing Expectations From Investors, Lenders, Customers, Government Regulators and Other Market Participants with Respect to our Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Policies and Activities may Impose Additional Costs on us or Expose us to Additional Risks

 

Companies across all industries and around the globe are facing increasing scrutiny relating to their ESG policies and activities. Investors, lenders and other market participants are increasingly focused on ESG practices and in recent years have placed increasing importance on the implications and social cost of their investments. Investment in funds that specialize in companies that perform well in assessments performed by ESG raters are increasingly popular, and major institutional investors have emphasized the importance of such ESG measures to their investment decisions. Responding to ESG considerations, including diversity and inclusion, environmental stewardship, support for local communities, labor conditions and human rights, ethics and compliance with law and corporate governance and transparency, and implementing goals and initiatives involve risks and uncertainties and depend in part on third-party performance or data that is outside our control.

In February 2021, the Acting Chair of the SEC issued a statement directing the Division of Corporation Finance to enhance its focus on climate-related disclosure in public company filings and in March 2021 the SEC announced the creation of a Climate and ESG Task Force in the Division of Enforcement. We risk damage to our brand and reputation or limited access to capital markets and loans, if we fail to adapt to or comply with investor, lender or other stakeholder expectations and standards and potential government regulation in a number of areas, such as diversity and inclusion, environmental stewardship, support for local communities, and corporate governance and transparency. In addition, compliance with standards and regulation may result in additional costs.

 

Increased Severe Weather, Including as A Result of Climate Change, May Disrupt Our Operations

Our operations may be impacted by adverse weather patterns or other natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, fires, tornadoes, tsunamis, typhoons and volcanic eruptions. Most scientists have concluded that increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere that contribute to climate change could have significant physical effects on weather conditions, such as increased frequency and severity of hurricanes, storms, droughts, floods, and other climatic events. It is possible that cruises we serve could be forced to alter itineraries or cancel a cruise or a series of cruises or tours due to these or other factors. Extreme weather events, such as hurricanes, floods and typhoons, may not only cause disruption, alteration, or cancellation of cruises and closures of destination resort health and wellness centers but may also adversely impact commercial airline flights and other transport or prevent certain individuals from electing to utilize our offerings altogether. In addition, these extreme weather conditions could result in increased wave and wind activity, which would make it more challenging to sail and dock ships and could cause sea/motion sickness among guests and crew on the ships we serve. These events could have an adverse impact on the safety and satisfaction of cruising and could have an adverse impact on our net revenue yields and profitability. Additionally, these extreme weather conditions could impact our ability to provide our cruise products and services as well as to obtain insurance coverage for operations in such areas at reasonable rates.

 

Risk of Early Termination of Land-Based Health and Wellness Center Agreements

A number of our land-based health and wellness center agreements provide that landlords may terminate the agreement prior to its expiration date (provided, in some cases, that we receive certain compensation with respect to our build-out expenses and earnings lost as a result of such termination). While we always attempt to negotiate the best deal we can in this regard, we may not be able to successfully negotiate a termination fee in any of our future agreements or that any amounts we would receive in connection with such termination accurately reflects the economic value of the assets we would be leaving behind as a result of such termination. In addition, in the event of certain terminations of an agreement with a land-based venue, such as by the venue operator after our breach of an agreement, or as a result of the bankruptcy of a venue, even if we have a provision in our agreement providing for a termination payment, we could receive no compensation with respect to build-out expenditures we have incurred.

 

 

 

 

24


 

We also attempt to obtain terms in our land-based health and wellness center agreements that protect us in the event that the lessor’s lender forecloses and takes over the property in question. However, we cannot always obtain such protective “non-disturbance” terms. In the event that the lender to a land-based venue owner under an agreement where no such non-disturbance term is included forecloses on that property, our agreement could be terminated prior to the expiration of its term. In such case, in addition to the loss of income from that health and wellness center, we could lose the residual value of any investment we made to build out that facility.

Delays in New Ship Introductions Could Slow Our Growth

Our growth depends, in part, on our serving new cruise ships brought into service. A number of cruise lines we serve have experienced in the past and recently, and could experience in the future, delays in bringing new ships into service. In addition, there is a limited number of shipyards in the world capable of constructing large cruise ships in accordance with the standards of major cruise lines. This also may contribute to delays in new ship construction. Such delays could slow our growth and have an adverse impact on our results of operations and financial condition.

 

Changes in and Compliance with Laws and Regulations Relating to Environment, Health, Safety, Security, Data Privacy and Protection, Tax and Anti-Corruption Under Which We Operate May Lead to Litigation, Enforcement Actions, Fines, or Penalties

We are subject to numerous international, national, state and local laws, regulations and treaties, including social issues, health and safety, security, data privacy and protection, and tax, among other matters. Failure to comply with these laws, regulations, treaties and agreements has led and could lead to enforcement actions, fines, civil or criminal penalties or the assertion of litigation claims and damages. We are required to coordinate and cooperate with the CDC, U.S. and other nation governments, and global public health authorities to take precautions to protect the health, safety and security of guests and shipboard personnel and implement certain precautions. New legislation, regulations or treaties, or changes thereto, could impact our operations and would likely subject us to increased compliance costs in the future. We could also be subject to litigation alleging non-compliance with the new legislation. In addition, training of crew may become more time consuming and may increase our operating costs due to increasing regulatory and other requirements.

Environmental laws and regulations or liabilities arising from past or future releases of, or exposure to, hazardous substances or vessel discharges, including ballast water and waste disposal, could materially adversely affect our business, profitability and financial condition. Some environmental groups have lobbied for more stringent regulation of cruise ships. Various agencies and regulatory organizations have enacted or are considering new regulations or policies, such as stricter emission limits to reduce greenhouse gas effects, which could adversely impact the cruise industry.

 

Our guest and employee relationships provide us with access to sensitive data. We are subject to laws and requirements related to the treatment and protection of such sensitive data. We may be subject to legal liability and reputational damage if we do not comply with data privacy and protection regulations. Various governments, agencies and regulatory organizations have enacted and are considering new regulations and implementation of rules for existing regulations. Additional requirements could negatively impact our ability to market cruises to consumers and increase our costs.

 

Among other regulations, we are subject to the European Union General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”) and UK General Data Protection Regulation (“UK GDPR”), which impose significant obligations to businesses that sell products or services to EU and UK customers or otherwise control or process personal data of EU or UK residents. Should we violate or not comply with the EU GDPR or the UK GDPR, or any other applicable laws or regulations, contractual requirements relating to data security and privacy, either intentionally or unintentionally, or through the acts of intermediaries, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as subject us to significant fines, litigation, losses, third-party damages and other liabilities.

 

We are subject to the examination of our income tax returns by tax authorities in the jurisdictions where we operate. There can be no assurance that the outcome from these examinations will not adversely affect our profitability.

 

As budgetary constraints continue to adversely impact the jurisdictions in which we operate, increases in income or other taxes affecting our operations may be imposed. Some social activist groups have lobbied for more taxation on income generated by cruise companies. Certain groups have also generated negative publicity for us. In recent years, certain members of the U.S. Congress have proposed various forms of legislation that would result in higher taxation on income generated by cruise companies.

 

Our global operations subject us to potential liability under anti-corruption, economic sanctions, and other laws and regulations. The Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the UK Bribery Act and other anti-corruption laws and regulations (“Anti-Corruption Laws”) prohibit corrupt payments by our employees, vendors, or agents. While we devote substantial resources to our global compliance

25


 

programs and have implemented policies, training, and internal controls designed to reduce the risk of corrupt payments, our employees, vendors, or agents may violate our policies. Our failure to comply with Anti-Corruption Laws could result in significant fines and penalties, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, prohibitions or limitations on the conduct of our business, and damage to our reputation. Operations outside the U.S. may also be affected by changes in economic sanctions, trade protection laws, policies, and other regulatory requirements affecting trade and investment. We may be subject to legal liability and reputational damage if we improperly sell goods or otherwise operate improperly in areas subject to economic sanctions such as Crimea, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Sudan, and Syria, or if we improperly engage in business transactions with persons subject to economic sanctions.

 

These various international laws and regulations could lead and have led to enforcement actions, fines, civil or criminal penalties or the assertion of litigation claims and damages. In addition, improper conduct by our employees or agents could damage our reputation and lead to litigation or legal proceedings that could result in significant awards or settlements to plaintiffs and civil or criminal penalties, including substantial monetary fines. Such events could lead to an adverse impact on our financial condition or profitability, even if the monetary damage is mitigated by our insurance coverage.

 

As a result of ship or other incidents, litigation claims, enforcement actions and regulatory actions and investigations, including, without limitation, those arising from personal injury, loss of life, loss of or damage to personal property, business interruption losses or environmental damage to any affected coastal waters and the surrounding areas, may be asserted or brought against various parties, including us. The time and attention of our management may also be diverted in defending such claims, actions and investigations. We may also incur costs both in defending against any claims, actions and investigations and for any judgments, fines, or civil or criminal penalties if such claims, actions or investigations are adversely determined and not covered by our insurance policies.

 

We Could be Subject to Governmental Investigations or Penalties, Legal Proceedings, Litigation, and Class Actions that Could Adversely Impact our Reputation, Financial Condition, and Results of Operations

Legal proceedings or litigation against us brought by our employees, customers, cruise line partners, resort partners, shareholders, creditors or others could lead to tangible adverse effects on our business, including damages payments, payments under settlement agreements and fines. Disagreements with our cruise line or destination resort partners could also result in litigation. The nature of our responsibilities under our agreements with cruise line and destination resort partners enforce the standards required for our brands and may be subject to interpretation and will from time to time give rise to disagreements, which may include disagreements over the need for payments, reimbursements and other costs. We seek to resolve any disagreements to develop and maintain positive relations with current and potential cruise line and destination resort partners, but we cannot provide assurance that we can always do so. Failure to resolve such disagreements may result in litigation in the future. If any such litigation results in an adverse judgment, settlement, or court order, we could suffer significant losses, our profits could be reduced, or our future ability to operate our business could be constrained.

 

While payments under some claims and lawsuits, or settlements of claims and lawsuits, may be covered by insurance such that the maximum amount of our liability, net of any insurance recoverable, could be typically limited to our self-insurance retention levels, we cannot guaranty such an outcome in all instances.

 

Product Liability and Other Potential Claims Could Adversely Affect Us

The nature and use of our products and services could give rise to liability if a customer were injured while receiving one of our services. Guests at our health and wellness centers could be injured, among other things, in connection with their use of our facilities. If any of these events occurred, we could incur substantial litigation expense and be required to make payments in connection with settlements of claims or as a result of judgments against us.

We maintain insurance to cover a number of risks associated with our business. While we seek to obtain comprehensive insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates, we cannot be certain that appropriate insurance will be available to us in the future on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our insurance policies are subject to coverage limit, exclusions and deductible levels and are subject to non-renewal upon termination at the option of the applicable insurance company. Our inability to obtain insurance coverage at commercially reasonable rates for the potential liabilities that we face could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, in connection with insured claims, we bear the risks associated with the fact that insurers often control decisions relating to pre-trial settlement of claims and other significant aspects of claims and their decisions may prove to not be in our best interest in all cases.

 

 

 

26


 

We believe that our current coverage is adequate to protect us against most of the significant risks involved in the conduct of our business, but we self-insure or use higher deductibles for various risks. Accordingly, we are not protected against all risks (including failures by third-party service providers such as insurance brokers to fulfill their duties), which could result in unexpected increases in our expenses in the event of certain claims against us.

 

If the types of services we offer increase, the potential for claims against us also could increase. We self-insure potential claims regarding certain of our medi-spa services. High visibility claims also could cause us to receive adverse publicity and suffer a loss of sales, and, therefore, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially adversely affected in such cases. We are, and may in the future be, subject to other legal proceedings, including claims presented as class actions. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties, and we cannot predict the outcome of individual matters. It is reasonably possible that the final resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

 

Our Indebtedness Could Adversely Affect Our Financial Condition and Ability to Operate and We May Incur Additional Debt

As of December 31, 2023, we had $159.6 million of secured indebtedness under our First Lien Term Loan Facility and our First Lien Revolving Facility (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”). Our debt level and the terms of our financing arrangements could adversely affect our financial condition and limit our ability to successfully implement our growth strategies. In addition, under the Credit Facilities, certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries have granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their assets. Our ability to meet our debt service obligations will depend on our future performance, which will be affected by the other risk factors described herein. If we do not generate enough cash flow to pay our debt service obligations, we may be required to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell our assets, borrow more money or raise equity. We may not be able to take any of these actions on a timely basis, on terms satisfactory to us, or at all.

The Credit Facilities bear interest at variable rates. If market interest rates increase, variable rate debt will create higher debt service requirements, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

 

Our Credit Facilities Contain Financial and Other Covenants. The Failure to Comply with Such Covenants Could Have An Adverse Effect on Us

 

Our Credit Facilities contain certain financial covenants and a number of traditional negative covenants, including limitations on our ability to, among other things, incur and/or undertake asset sales and other dispositions, liens, indebtedness, certain acquisitions, and investments, consolidations, mergers, reorganizations and other fundamental changes, payment of dividends and other distributions to equity and warrant holders and prepayments of material subordinated debt, in each case, subject to customary exceptions. Any failure to comply with the restrictions of the Credit Facilities may result in an event of default under the agreements. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Credit Facilities are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of amounts due under the Credit Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor, subject to customary intercreditor provisions among the first and second lien secured parties.

 

If We Are Unable to Execute Our Growth Strategies, Including Our Ability to Offer and Integrate New Services and Products, Our Business Could Be Adversely Affected

The demands of consumers with respect to health and wellness services and products continue to evolve. Among other things, there is a continuing trend to add services at health and wellness centers similar to those traditionally provided in medical facilities, including services relating to skin care. If we are unable to identify and capture new audiences, our ability to successfully integrate additional services and products will be adversely affected. Our ability to provide certain additional services depends on our ability to find appropriate third parties with whom to work in connection with these services and, in certain cases, could be dependent on our ability to fund substantial costs. We cannot assure that we will be able to find such appropriate third parties or be able to fund such costs. We also cannot assure that we will be able to continue to expand our health and wellness services sufficiently to keep up with consumer demand. Accordingly, we may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategies or continue to maintain sales at our current rate, or at all. If we fail to implement our growth strategies, our revenue and profitability may be negatively impacted, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Our Business Could Be Adversely Affected if We Are Unable to Successfully Protect Our Trademarks or Obtain New Trademarks

The market for our services and products depends to a significant extent upon the value associated with our brand names. Although we take appropriate steps to protect our brand names, in the future, we may not be successful in asserting trademark protection in connection with our efforts to grow our business or otherwise due to the nature of certain of our marks or for other reasons. In addition, the laws of certain foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. The costs required to protect our trademarks and trade names may be substantial. If other parties infringe on our

27


 

intellectual property rights, the value of our brands in the marketplace may be diluted. In addition, any infringement of our intellectual property rights would likely result in a commitment of our time and resources to protect these rights through litigation or otherwise. One or more adverse judgments with respect to these intellectual property rights could negatively impact our ability to compete and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We Are Subject to Currency Risk

Fluctuations in currency exchange rates compared to the U.S. Dollar can impact our results of operations, most significantly because we pay for the administration of recruitment and training of our shipboard personnel in U.K. Pounds Sterling and Euros. Accordingly, while the relative strength of the U.S. Dollar has improved recently, renewed weakness of the U.S. Dollar against those currencies can adversely affect our results of operations, as has occurred in some recent years. To the extent that the U.K. Pound Sterling or the Euro is stronger than the U.S. Dollar, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected.

We May Be Exposed to the Threat of Cyber Attacks and/or Data Breaches, which Could Cause Business Disruptions and Loss

Cyberattacks can vary in scope and intent from economically driven attacks to malicious attacks targeting our key operating systems with the intent to disrupt, disable or otherwise cripple our maritime and/or land-based operations. This can include any combination of phishing attacks, malware and/or viruses targeted at our key systems. The breadth and scope of this threat has grown over time, and the techniques and sophistication used to conduct cyberattacks, as well as the sources and targets of the attacks, change frequently. While we invest time, effort and capital resources to secure our key systems and networks, we cannot provide assurance that we will be successful in preventing or responding to all such attacks.

 

A successful cyberattack may target us directly, or may be the result of a third-party vendor’s inadequate care. In either scenario, we may suffer damage to our key systems and/or data that could interrupt our operations, adversely impact our reputation and brand and expose us to increased risks of governmental investigation, litigation and other liability, any of which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, responding to such an attack and mitigating the risk of future attacks could result in additional operating and capital costs in systems technology, personnel, monitoring and other investments.

 

Even if we are fully compliant with legal and/or industry standards and any relevant contractual requirements, we still may not be able to prevent security breaches involving sensitive data and/or critical systems. Any breach, theft, loss, or fraudulent use of guest, employee, third-party or company data, could adversely impact our reputation and brand and our ability to retain or attract new customers, and expose us to risks of data loss, business disruption, governmental investigation, litigation and other liability, any of which could adversely affect our business. Significant capital investments and other expenditures could be required to remedy the problem and prevent future breaches, including costs associated with additional security technologies, personnel, experts and credit monitoring services for those whose data has been breached. Further, if we or our vendors experience significant data security breaches or fail to detect and appropriately respond to significant data security breaches, we could be exposed to government enforcement actions and private litigation.

 

Cybersecurity has become a top priority for regulators around the world, and some jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring companies to notify individuals of data security breaches involving certain types of personal data. In February 2018, the SEC issued guidance stating that public companies are expected to have controls and procedures that relate to cybersecurity disclosure, and are required under the federal securities laws to disclose information relating to certain cyber-attacks or other information security breaches. In March 2022, the SEC proposed new cybersecurity disclosure requirements intended to increase the transparency of publicly traded organizations’ cybersecurity practices, and has placed cybersecurity risk disclosure and compliance requirements on its rule-making agenda for 2023. If we fail to comply with the relevant laws and regulations relating to cybersecurity, we could suffer financial loss, a disruption of our business, liability to investors, regulatory intervention and reputational damage, among other material adverse effects.

 

Changes in Privacy Law Could Adversely Affect Our Ability to Market Our Services Effectively

Our ability to market our services effectively is an important component of our business. We rely on a variety of direct marketing techniques, including telemarketing, email marketing, and direct mail. Any further restrictions under laws such as the Telemarketing Sales Rule, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, the EU and UK GDPR, and various United States state laws or new federal laws regarding marketing and solicitation, or international data protection laws that govern these activities, could adversely affect the continuing effectiveness of telemarketing, email, and postal mailing techniques and could force further changes in our marketing strategy. If this were to occur, we may be unable to develop adequate alternative marketing strategies, which could impact our ability to effectively market and sell our services.

28


 

If we fail to comply with the laws and regulations relating to the protection of data privacy, we could be exposed to suits for breach of contract or to governmental proceedings. In addition, our relationships and reputation could be harmed, which could inhibit our ability to retain existing cruise line and destination resort partners. Further, if more restrictive privacy laws or rules are adopted by authorities in the future, our compliance costs may increase and our ability to perform due diligence on, and monitor the risk of, our current and potential cruise line and destination resort partners may decrease, which could create liability for us. Additionally, our opportunities for growth may be curtailed by our compliance capabilities or reputational harm, and our potential liability for security breaches may increase.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities

Steiner Leisure has Representation on our Board and May Have Interests That Differ from Those of Other Shareholders

Two of our directors were nominated by Steiner Leisure, and as a result, Steiner Leisure may be able to significantly influence the outcome of matters submitted for director action, subject to our directors’ obligation to act in the interest of all of our shareholders, and for shareholder action, including the designation and appointment of the Board (and committees thereof) and approval of significant corporate transactions, including business combinations, consolidations and mergers. The influence of Steiner Leisure over our management could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discouraging a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of us, which could cause the market price of our common shares to decline or prevent our shareholders from realizing a premium over the market price for our common shares.

Under the “Business Opportunities” section of our Third Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association and Second Amended and Restated Articles of Association (our “Articles”), among other things, we have renounced any interest or expectancy of us or our subsidiaries being offered an opportunity to participate in any potential transaction opportunities available to Steiner Leisure and certain of its affiliates and related parties, such parties have no obligation to communicate or offer such potential transaction opportunities to us, and such parties will have no duty to refrain from engaging in the same or similar businesses as us. Prospective investors in our common shares should consider that the interests of Steiner Leisure may differ from their interests in material respects.

If We Fail to Maintain an Effective System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting, We May Not Be Able to Accurately and Timely Report Our Financial Results or Prevent Fraud; as a Result, Shareholders Could Lose Confidence in Our Financial and Other Public Reporting, Which Is Likely to Negatively Affect Our Business and the Market Price of Our Common Shares

 

Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we are required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting, and once we no longer qualify as an emerging growth company, our independent registered public accounting firm will also be required to provide an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. The rules governing the standards that must be met for management to assess our internal control over financial reporting are complex and require significant documentation, testing and possible remediation. To comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the requirements of being a reporting company under the Exchange Act and any complex accounting rules in the future, we may need to upgrade our information technology systems; implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures; and hire additional accounting and finance staff. If we or, if required, our auditors, are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, investors may lose confidence in our financial reporting and the trading price of our common stock may decline.

 

There can be no assurance that there will not be material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Any failure to maintain internal control over financial reporting could severely inhibit our ability to accurately report our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. If we are unable to conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public accounting firm determines that we have a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, the market price of our common shares could decline, and we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by Nasdaq, the SEC, or other regulatory authorities. Failure to remedy any material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or to implement or maintain other effective control systems required of public companies, could also restrict our future access to the capital markets.

 

The Market Price and Trading Volume of Our Common Shares Has Been and May Continue to Be Volatile

The market price and trading volume of our common shares may be volatile and could decline significantly. We cannot assure that the market price of our common shares will not fluctuate widely or decline significantly in the future in response to a number of factors, including, without limitation, the following:

29


 

o
the realization of any of the risk factors presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K;
o
the recurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic or emergence of a new epidemic or pandemic;
o
actual or anticipated differences in our estimates, or in the estimates of analysts, for our revenues, results of operations, level of indebtedness, liquidity or financial condition;
o
performance and departures of key personnel;
o
failure to comply with the requirements of Nasdaq;
o
failure to comply with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or other laws or regulations;
o
future issuances, sales or resales, or anticipated issuances, sales or resales, of our common shares;
o
publication of research reports about us, the cruise industry, or the hospitality industry generally;
o
the performance and market valuations of our cruise line partners and of companies in the hospitality and travel industry;
o
broad disruptions in the financial markets, including sudden disruptions in the credit markets;
o
speculation in the press or investment community with respect to the factors impacting our business, including the risk factors presented in this Annual Report on Form 10-K;
o
actual, potential or perceived operational and internal control, accounting or financial reporting issues; and
o
changes in accounting principles, policies and guidelines.

 

In the past, securities class-action litigation has been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their shares. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources, materially adversely impacting our business, operations, results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

 

If Securities or Industry Analysts Do Not Publish Research, Publish Inaccurate or Unfavorable Research or Cease Publishing Research About Us, Our Share Price and Trading Volume Could Decline Significantly

The market for our common shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more of the analysts who cover us downgrade their opinions about our business or our common shares, publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, or cease publishing about us regularly, demand for our common shares could decrease, which might cause our share price and trading volume to decline significantly.

Future Issuances of Debt Securities and/or Equity Securities May Adversely Affect Us, Including the Market Price of Our Common Shares, and May Be Dilutive to Our Existing Shareholders

In the future, we may incur debt and/or issue equity ranking senior to our common shares. Those securities will generally have priority upon liquidation. Such securities also may be governed by an indenture or other instrument containing covenants restricting our operating flexibility. Additionally, any convertible or exchangeable securities that we issue in the future may have rights, preferences and privileges more favorable than those of our common shares. Because our decision to issue debt and/or equity in the future will depend, in part, on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, nature or success of our future capital raising efforts. As a result, future capital raising efforts may reduce the market price of our common shares and be dilutive to our existing shareholders.

You May Have Difficulty Enforcing Judgments Against Us

We are an international business company incorporated under the laws of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas. A substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult or impossible to:

 

o
effect service of process within the United States upon us; or
o
enforce, against us, court judgments obtained in U.S. courts, including judgments relating to U.S. federal securities laws.

 

30


 

It is unlikely that Bahamian courts would entertain original actions against Bahamian companies, their directors or officers predicated solely upon U.S. federal securities laws. The Bahamian courts may apply any rule of Bahamian law which is mandatory irrespective of the governing law and may refuse to apply a rule of such governing law of the relevant documents, if it is manifestly incompatible with the public policy of The Bahamas. Furthermore, judgments based upon any civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws are not directly enforceable in The Bahamas. Rather, a lawsuit must be brought in The Bahamas on any such judgment. The courts of The Bahamas would recognize a U.S. judgment as a valid judgment, and permit the same to provide the basis of a fresh action in The Bahamas and should give a judgment based thereon without there being a re-trial or reconsideration of the merits of the case provided that (i) the courts in the United States had proper jurisdiction under Bahamian conflict of law rules over the parties subject to such judgment, (ii) the judgment is for a debt or definite sum of money other than a sum payable in respect of taxes or charges of a like nature or in respect of a fine or penalty, (iii) the U.S. courts did not contravene the rules of natural justice of The Bahamas, (iv) the judgment was not obtained by fraud on the part of the party in whose favor the judgment was given or of the court pronouncing it, (v) the enforcement of such judgment would not be contrary to the public policy of The Bahamas, (vi) the correct procedures under the laws of The Bahamas are duly complied with, (vii) the judgment is not inconsistent with a prior Bahamian judgment in respect of the same matter and (viii) enforcement proceedings are instituted within six years after the date of such judgment.

 

Certain Provisions in Our Articles May Limit Shareholders’ Ability to Affect a Change in Management or Control

Our Articles include certain provisions which may have the effect of delaying or preventing a future takeover or change in control of us that shareholders may consider to be in their best interests. Among other things, our Articles provide for a classified Board serving staggered terms of three years, super majority voting requirements with respect to certain significant transactions and restrictions on the acquisition of greater than 9.99% ownership without our Board’s approval. Our equity plans and our officers’ employment agreements provide certain rights to plan participants and those officers, respectively, in the event of a change in control of us. In addition, we have issued deferred shares and warrants as more fully described elsewhere in this report. These deferred shares and warrants may further reduce the control and voting power of a common shareholder.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

 

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY

Risk Management and Strategy

We manage cybersecurity risks as part of our oversight, evaluation, and mitigation of enterprise-level risks. We have based our cybersecurity program on defined industry accepted frameworks with the goal of building enterprise resilience against an evolving cybersecurity threat landscape and to respond to cybersecurity threats as they materialize. Our program includes identification, assessment, monitoring, and management components, as well as informational and escalation components designed to inform management and the Board of prospective risks and developments.

Our information security program encompasses functions dedicated to both proactive and reactive management of cybersecurity threats. We implement our cybersecurity program internally through maintaining cybersecurity policies; deploying updated security technologies; using third-party services and consultants to support and improve our cybersecurity program. Our proactive management of cybersecurity risks entails many actions, including actively monitoring our information technology systems; engaging service providers to monitor and, as appropriate, respond to cybersecurity threats; developing and updating incident response plans to address potential cybersecurity threats; and training our personnel on cybersecurity. We regularly engage third-party auditors and consultants and leverage our internal information security, audit, and compliance functions to assess various facets of our cybersecurity program. We also maintain enterprise-wide processes to oversee and identify risks from cybersecurity threats associated with our use of third-party service providers.

We assess cybersecurity contingencies within our overall business continuity risk management planning process. Our information technology and information security teams utilize various technology tools to prevent, monitor, detect, and respond to cybersecurity threats. Our incident response policy outlines processes, roles, responsibilities, notifications, and other communications applicable to the assessment, mitigation, and remediation of realized cybersecurity events. The nature and scope of assessed risk of a realized cybersecurity event dictates the pace and extent of relevant processes, and communications, including an evaluation of any necessary or required disclosure. Depending on its nature and scope, a cybersecurity threat may be managed within our Information

31


 

Security Operations Committee (ISOC), responsible for day-to-day management of cybersecurity risks, and escalated to our executive management team, the Board, and the Audit Committee, as appropriate.

We have not historically been materially impacted by risks from cybersecurity threats and as of the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we are not aware of any cybersecurity risks that are reasonably likely to materially affect our business. However, the breadth and scope of cybersecurity threats have grown over time and our systems and networks may be the target of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks. For more information on our cybersecurity risks and their potential impact to our business, see Item 1A, “Risk Factors—Risks related to our Business—We May Be Exposed to the Threat of Cyber Attacks and/or Data Breaches, which Could Cause Business Disruptions and Loss.”

Governance

Management, under the supervision of our Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is directly responsible for assessing and managing cybersecurity risks and otherwise implementing our cybersecurity program. The CFO reports directly to the Executive Chairman. Our CFO regularly updates our Board and Audit Committee on cybersecurity matters.

In addition to providing regular updates to our Board and Audit Committee, the CFO is a member of the ISOC. The ISOC is also composed of leadership from a variety of functions, including information technology, information security, audit, compliance, finance and legal (when needed), to assess and manage cybersecurity developments and risks and our internal programs.

Our Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) has over 25 years’ experience in information technology, including cybersecurity, and is supplemented by our Information Security and Compliance Manager, who also has over 25 years of experience in audit, compliance and cybersecurity, and maintains Certified Information Systems Auditor and Certified in Risk and Information Systems Control professional certifications.

In addition to the ISOC, the CFO may call upon other business and legal stakeholders across our company to help manage cybersecurity threats and incidents. Our Audit Committee is responsible for oversight of our programs, policies, procedures, and risk management activities related to information security and data protection. The Audit Committee meets regularly with the CFO and CIO to discuss threats, risks, and ongoing efforts to enhance cyber resiliency, as well as changes to the broader cybersecurity landscape. Our Board also periodically participates in presentations on cybersecurity and information technology from internal leadership and external advisors. In addition to regular presentations, management promptly updates our Board and Audit Committee regarding significant threats and incidents as they arise.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

Our destination resort spas are operated under agreements with the destination resort operators or owners, as the case may be, of those venues. Our other facilities, including our warehouses, are leased from the owners of the venues where they are located. Our principal office is located in Nassau, The Bahamas, and we lease an office building in Coral Gables, Florida where certain administrative functions are located.

 

We believe that our existing facilities are adequate for our current and planned levels of operations and that alternative sites are readily available on competitive terms in the event that any of our material leases are not renewed.

 

 

None.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED SHAREHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our common shares are traded on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “OSW.” As of February 27, 2024, there were 20 registered holders of our common shares.

Dividends

We adopted a cash dividend program in November 2019, with an initial quarterly cash dividend payment of $0.04 per common share. However, as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, our Board re-evaluated our current dividend program and has determined, in order to increase our financial flexibility and reallocate our capital resources, to defer the previously authorized and declared quarterly dividend to be paid on May 29, 2020 and to temporarily suspend the dividend program until further notice.

Repurchases and Sales of Unregistered Securities

On November 30, 2023, we entered into a Shares Repurchase Agreement with Steiner Leisure Limited (the “Seller”), pursuant to which we purchased 789,046 of our common shares from the Seller at a purchase price of $11.46 per common share (the “Repurchase”). The Repurchase closed on December 4, 2023. In determining the sizing, timing and benefit of the Repurchase, we analyzed a number of different factors, including market signaling, dilution mitigation, the discounted price of the shares, potential improvement to the Company’s capital structure, and the reduction of the Seller’s ownership of the Company’s outstanding shares. We have no other recent repurchases of any securities or sales of any unregistered securities.

Note Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information

We believe that these non-GAAP measures, when reviewed in conjunction with GAAP financial measures, and not in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results of operations under GAAP, are useful to investors as they are widely used measures of performance and the adjustments we make to these non-GAAP measures provide investors further insight into our profitability and additional perspectives in comparing our performance to other companies and in comparing our performance over time on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA and Unlevered After-Tax Free Cash Flow have limitations as profitability measures in that they do not include total amounts for interest expense on our debt, change in fair value of warrant liabilities and provision for income taxes, and the effect of our expenditures for capital assets and certain intangible assets. In addition, all of these non-GAAP measures have limitations as profitability measures in that they do not include the impact of certain expenses related to items that are settled in cash. Because of these limitations, the Company relies primarily on its GAAP results.

In the future, we may incur expenses similar to those for which adjustments are made in calculating Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as a basis to infer that our future results will be unaffected by extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

General

The following discussion and analysis of our audited financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the information presented in “Selected Historical Financial Information” and our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. In addition to historical information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements, such as statements regarding our expectation for future performance, liquidity, and capital resources, that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in or implied by any forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause such differences include those identified below and those described in the sections entitled “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors.” We assume no obligation to update any of these forward-looking statements.

The information for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 is derived from OneSpaWorld’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Any reference to “OneSpaWorld” refers to OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited and our consolidated subsidiaries on a forward-looking basis.

Overview

 

OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited (“OneSpaWorld,” the “Company,” “we,” “our, “us” and other similar terms refer to OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited and its consolidated subsidiaries) is the pre-eminent global operator of health and wellness centers onboard cruise ships and a leading operator of health and wellness centers at destination resorts worldwide. In the face of the global impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, our cruise line partners paused their guest cruise operations and the majority of our U.S. and Caribbean-based destination resort spas temporarily closed in mid-March 2020. During 2021, we initiated our resumption of spa operations on cruise ships and in destination resorts in a phased manner, in concert with our cruise line and resort partners, and have completed such resumption of operations. As of December 31, 2023, our health and wellness center operations are no longer impacted by closures resulting from COVID-19, and we are positioned as a leader in the hospitality-based health and wellness industry. Our highly trained and experienced staff offer guests a comprehensive suite of premium health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and products onboard cruise ships and at destination resorts globally. We are the market leader at more than 20x the size of our closest maritime competitor. Over the last 50 years, we have built our leading market position on our depth of staff expertise, broad and innovative service and product offerings, expansive global recruitment, training and logistics platform, as well as decades-long relationships with cruise line and destination resort partners. Throughout our history, our mission has been simple: helping guests look and feel their best during and after their stay.

At our core, we are a global services company. We serve a critical role for our cruise line and destination resort partners, operating a complex and increasingly important aspect of our cruise line and destination resort partners’ overall guest experience. Decades of investment and know-how have allowed us to construct an unmatched global infrastructure to manage the complexity of our operations. We have consistently expanded our onboard offerings with innovative and leading-edge service and product introductions, and developed powerful recruiting, training and logistics platforms to manage our operational complexity, maintain our industry-leading quality standards, and maximize revenue and profitability per health and wellness center. The combination of our personnel recruiting and training platform, deep proprietary global labor pool, global logistics and supply chain infrastructure, and proven health and wellness center operating, revenue, and profitability management capabilities represents a significant competitive advantage that we believe is not economically feasible to replicate.

A significant portion of our revenues are generated from our cruise ship operations. Historically, we have been able to renew substantially all of our existing cruise line partner agreements and gain new agreements to operate health and wellness centers for new cruise line partners.

Key Performance Indicators

In assessing the performance of our business, we consider several key performance indicators used by management. These key indicators include:

Period End Ship Count. The number of ships at period end on which we operate health and wellness centers. This is a key metric that impacts revenue and profitability.
Average Ship Count. The number of ships, on average during the period, on which we operate health and wellness centers. This is a key metric that impacts revenue and profitability and reflects the fact that during the period ships were in and out of service and is calculated by adding the total number of days that each of the ships generated revenue during the period, divided by the number of calendar days during the period.
Average Weekly Revenue Per Ship. A key indicator of productivity per ship. Revenue per ship can be affected by the various sizes of health and wellness centers and categories of ships on which we serve.
Average Revenue Per Shipboard Staff Per Day. We utilize this performance metric to assist in determining the productivity of our onboard staff, which we believe is a critical element of our operations.
Period End Resort Count. The number of destination resorts at period end on which we operate the health and wellness centers. This is a key metric that impacts revenue and profitability.
Average Resort Count. The number of destination resorts on average during the period on which we operate the health and wellness centers. This is a key metric that impacts revenue and profitability and reflects the fact that during the period destination resort health and wellness centers were in and out of service and is calculated by adding the total number of days that each destination resort health and wellness center generated revenue during the period, divided by the number of calendar days during the period.
Average Weekly Revenue Per Destination. A key indicator of productivity per destination resort health and wellness center. Revenue per destination resort health and wellness center in a period can be affected by the mix of U.S. and Caribbean and Asian centers for such period because U.S. and Caribbean centers are typically larger and produce substantially more revenues per center than Asian centers. Additionally, average weekly revenue can also be negatively impacted by renovations of our destination resort health and wellness centers.

The following table sets forth the above key performance indicators for the periods presented:

Key Financial Definitions

Revenues. Revenues consist primarily of sales of services and sales of products to cruise ship passengers and destination resort guests. The following is a brief description of the components of our revenues:

Service revenues. Service revenues consist primarily of sales of health and wellness services, including a full range of massage treatments, facial treatments, nutritional/weight management consultations, teeth whitening, mindfulness services and medi-spa services to cruise ship passengers and destination resort guests. We bill our services at rates which inherently include an immaterial charge for products used in the rendering of such services, if applicable.

38


 

Product revenues. Product revenues consist primarily of sales of health and wellness products, such as facial skincare, body care, orthotics and detox supplements to cruise ship passengers, destination resort guests and timetospa.com customers.

Cost of services. Cost of services consists primarily of an allocable portion of payments to cruise lines (which are derived as a percentage of service revenues or a minimum annual rent or a combination of both), an allocable portion of wages paid to shipboard employees, an allocable portion of staff-related shipboard expenses, costs related to recruitment and training of shipboard employees, wages paid directly to destination resort employees, payments to destination resort venue owners, the allocable cost of products consumed in the rendering of a service and health and wellness center depreciation. Cost of services has historically been highly variable; increases and decreases in cost of services are primarily attributable to a corresponding increase or decrease in service revenues. Cost of services has improved as a percentage of revenue due to higher revenues and cost efficiencies.

Cost of products. Cost of products consists primarily of the cost of products sold through our various methods of distribution, an allocable portion of wages paid to shipboard employees and an allocable portion of payments to cruise lines and destination resort partners (which are derived as a percentage of product revenues or a minimum annual rent or a combination of both). Cost of products has historically been highly variable, increases and decreases in cost of products are primarily attributable to a corresponding increase or decrease in product revenues and includes impairment of inventories. Cost of products has improved as a percentage of revenue due to higher revenues and cost efficiencies.

Administrative. Administrative expenses are comprised of expenses associated with corporate and administrative functions that support our business, including fees for professional services, insurance, headquarters rent and other general corporate expenses.

Salary, benefits and payroll taxes. Salary, benefits and payroll taxes are comprised of employee expenses associated with corporate and administrative functions that support our business, including fees for employee salaries, bonuses, stock-based compensation, payroll taxes, pension/401(k) and other employee costs.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets are comprised of the amortization of intangible assets with definite useful lives (e.g., retail concession agreements, destination resort agreements, licensing agreements) and amortization expenses associated with the 2019 Transaction.

Long-lived assets impairment. Long-lived assets impairment is comprised of destination resort agreements-intangible asset, property and equipment charges, and licensing agreement-intangible charges.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense) consists of royalty income, interest income and interest expense.

Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax (benefit) expense includes current and deferred federal income tax expenses, as well as state and local income taxes. See “—Critical Accounting Policies—Income Taxes” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Net (loss) income. Net (loss)income consists of income (loss) from operations less other income (expense) and income tax (benefit) expense.

Revenue Drivers and Business Trends

Our revenues and financial performance are impacted by a multitude of factors, including, but not limited to:

The number of health and wellness centers we operate on cruise ships and in destination resorts. The number of cruise ships on which we operate during each period is primarily impacted by our renewal of existing cruise ship partner agreements, introductions of new ships to service under our existing agreements, agreements with new cruise line partners, ships temporarily out of service for maintenance and repair, and ships prevented from sailing due to outbreaks of illnesses, such as the recent pandemic, among other factors. The number of destination resorts in which we operate during each period is primarily attributable to renewal of existing agreements with destination resort partners and destination resorts prevented from operating due to outbreaks of illnesses, such as the recent pandemic, among other factors.
The size and offerings of new health and wellness centers. We have focused on innovating and implementing higher value added and price point services such as medi-spa and advanced facial techniques, which require treatment rooms equipped with specific equipment and staff trained to perform these services. As our cruise line partners continue to invest in new ships with enhanced health and wellness centers that allow for more advanced treatment rooms and larger staff sizes, we are able to increase the availability of these services, driving an overall shift towards a more profitable service mix.

39


 

Expansion of value-added services and products and increased pricing across modalities in existing health and wellness centers. We continue to introduce and expand our higher value added and price point offerings in existing health and wellness centers, including introducing premium medi-spa, acupuncture, and advanced facial services, resulting in higher guest demand and spending. In addition, we have increased pricing across our brands for our core services.
The mix of ship count across contemporary, premium, luxury and budget categories. Revenue generated per shipboard health and wellness center differs across contemporary, premium, luxury and budget ship categories due to the size of the health and wellness centers, services offered and guest socioeconomic factors.
The mix of cruise itineraries. Revenue generated per shipboard health and wellness center is influenced by cruise itinerary, including length of cruise, number of sea days versus port days, which impacts center utilization, and the geographic sailing region, which may impact ship category and offerings of services and products to align with guest socioeconomic mix and preferences.
Collaboration with cruise line partners, including targeted marketing and promotion initiatives, as well as implementation of proprietary technologies to increase center utilization via pre-booking and pre-payment of health and wellness services. We directly market and promote to onboard passengers as a result of enhanced collaboration with certain of our cruise line partners. We also utilize our proprietary health and wellness services pre-booking and pre-payment technology platforms integrated with certain of our cruise line partners’ pre-cruise planning systems. These areas of increased collaboration with cruise line partners are resulting in higher productivity, revenue generation, and profitability across our health and wellness centers.
The impact of weather. Our health and wellness centers onboard cruise ships and in select destination resorts may be negatively affected by hurricanes, particularly during the August through October period, which may be increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change.
Other risks and uncertainties. Our revenues and financial performance may be impacted by other risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, those set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors”.

The effect of each of these factors on our revenues and financial performance varies from period to period.

Results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 continued to accelerate from 2022 as the Company has returned to normalized operations since the conclusion of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of December 31, 2023, our operations include 193 cruise ships and 51 destination resorts, as compared to 179 cruise ships and 50 destination resorts as of December 31, 2022.

Revenues. Total revenues increased 45% to $794.0 million compared to $546.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was attributable to our average ship count increasing 23% to 180 health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared with our average ship count of 146 health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the year ended December 31, 2022, along with the impact of our on-board initiatives to drive revenue growth.

The break-down of revenue between service and product revenues was as follows:

Service revenues Service revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $648.1 million, an increase of $201.6 million, or 45%, compared to $446.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Product revenues. Product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $146.0 million, an increase of $46.2 million, or 46%, compared to $99.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Cost of services. Cost of services were $541.4 million compared to $375.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with increased service revenues of $648.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 from our operating health and wellness centers at sea and on land, compared with service revenues of $446.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2022.

Cost of products. Cost of products were $125.6 million compared to $87.6 million in the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with increased product revenues of $146.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2023 from our operating health and wellness centers at sea and on land, compared to product revenues of $99.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022.

41


 

Administrative. Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $17.1 million, an increase of $1.3 million, or 8%, compared to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to professional fees incurred during the year ended December 31, 2023 for a secondary offering of common shares by selling shareholders related to the Business Combination and increased public company costs as the Company emerged from emerging growth company status.

Salary, benefits and payroll taxes. Salary, benefits and payroll taxes for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $36.8 million, an increase of $1.0 million, or 3%, compared to $35.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to measured increases in corporate headcount for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were both $16.8 million, respectively.

Long-lived assets impairment. Long-lived assets impairment for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $2.1 million. This was comprised of destination resort agreements-intangible asset, property and equipment charges, and licensing agreement-intangible charges of $1.3 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. The impairment was primarily related to the expected closure in 2024 of our Las Vegas destination resort health and wellness center as a result of the expected demolition of the hotel where the health and wellness center is located.

Other (expense) income, net. Other (expense) income , net includes interest expense and changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Interest expense, net for the year ended December 31, 2023 was $21.1 million, an increase of $5.4 million, or 34%, compared to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a one-time $5.4 million deleveraging fee to our lenders that was required Under the First Lien Term Facility agreement due to our lower net debt leverage ratio at year end. The change in fair value of the outstanding warrants during the year ended December 31, 2023 was a loss of ($37.6) million compared to a gain of $54.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. Net loss in the change in fair value of warrant liabilities was the result of increases in market prices of our common stock and other observable inputs deriving the value of the financial instruments and the exchange of approximately 95% of the Public Warrants and approximately 50% of Sponsor Warrants for the Company’s common shares in April 2023.

Income tax (benefit) expense. Income tax (benefit) expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 were a benefit of ($1.5) million, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 345%, compared to an expense of $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily driven by the recognition of a discrete tax benefit of approximately $3.4 million in uncertain tax benefits during the year ended December 31, 2023 related to foreign tax exposures as a result of our participation in a tax amnesty program in Italy that settled such liability in August 2023, offset by an increase in the taxable income and a change in valuation allowance, withholding taxes due in various jurisdictions and the decrease in availability of net operating losses.

Net (loss) income. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 2023 was a loss of ($3.0) million, a change in the income (loss) of $56.1 million, or 1887%, compared to a net income of $53.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The $56.1 million decrease was primarily attributable to: (i) a $92.0 million negative change in fair value of warrant liabilities; and (ii) a $5.4 million deleveraging fee payable to our lenders that was required Under the First Lien Term Facility agreement due to our lower net debt leverage ratio at year end. This was partially offset by a $39.0 million increase in income from operations driven by the increase in the number of health and wellness centers onboard ships operating during the fiscal year and our on-board initiatives to drive revenue and operating income growth. The change in fair value of the outstanding warrants during the year ended December 31, 2023 was a loss of ($37.6) million compared to a gain of $54.4 million during the year ended December 31 2022.

The results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 recovered from the material adverse impacts of COVID-19, which at its peak resulted in the cessation of operations of all of the Company’s health and wellness centers on board cruise ships and the closing of or substantial restrictions imposed on the operation of substantially all of the destination resort health and wellness centers at the end of first quarter 2020. As of December 31, 2022, our operations had resumed on 177 cruise ships and in 48 destination resorts, as compared to 118 cruise ships and 48 destination resorts as of December 31, 2021.

Revenues. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $546.3 million compared to $144.0 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The revenues generated in the year ended December 31, 2022 were derived primarily from our 177 health and wellness centers onboard ships having resumed voyages and our health and wellness centers at 48 open and operating destination resorts. Total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting March 14, 2020 No Sail Order, with revenues derived primarily from health and wellness centers onboard 118 ships and in 48 destination resorts that were open and operating for partial periods during the twelve-month period and e-commerce Product sales through the Company’s timetospa.com website.

The break-down of revenue between service and product revenues was as follows:

Service revenues Service revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $446.5 million, an increase of $330.6 million, or 285%, compared to $115.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Product revenues. Product revenues for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $99.7 million, an increase of $71.7 million, or 255%, compared to $28.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Cost of services. Cost of services for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $375.1 million, an increase of $266.2 million, or 244%, compared to $108.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with increased service revenues of $446.5 in the year ended December 31, 2022 from our operating health and wellness centers at sea and on land, compared with service revenues of $115.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 and increased costs related to the resumption of operations at our health and wellness centers at sea and on land.

Cost of products. Cost of products for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $87.6 million, an increase of $60.9 million, or 229%, compared to $26.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to costs associated with increased product revenues of $99.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2022, compared to product revenues of $28.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2021 from our operating health and wellness centers at sea and on land.

43


 

Administrative. Administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $15.8 million, an increase of $0.3 million, or 2%, compared to $15.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Salary, benefits and payroll taxes. Salary, benefits and payroll taxes for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $35.8 million, an increase of $7.7 million, or 27%, compared to $28.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.2 million increase in stock-based compensation to $12.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2022 and the measured increase in corporate head count to account for the return to sailing and lower corporate salaries in the year ended December 31, 2021 due to salary reductions and lower corporate headcount, which were implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Amortization of intangible assets. Amortization of intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were both $16.8 million, respectively.

Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net includes interest expense and changes in the fair value of the warrant liabilities. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $15.8 million, an increase of $2.3 million, or 17%, compared to $13.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in other income (expense), net was primarily attributable to the change in fair value of the outstanding warrants for the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The change in fair value of the outstanding warrants during the year ended December 31, 2022 was a gain of $54.4 million compared to a loss of $2.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2021. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities is the result of changes in market prices deriving the value of the financial instruments.

Income tax expense. Income tax expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 were $0.6 million, an increase of $0.2 million, or 45%, compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase was driven by higher income in taxable jurisdictions in the year ended December 31, 2022.

Net income. Net income for the year ended December 31, 2022 was $53.2 million, a change in the income (loss) of $121.7 million, or 178%, compared to a net loss of $68.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021. The improvement in the year ended December 31, 2022 was primarily a result of the $67.2 million change in Income (loss) from operations derived from our 177 health and wellness centers onboard ships having resumed voyages and the change in the fair value of warrant liabilities. The change in fair value of the outstanding warrants during the year ended December 31, 2022 was a gain of $54.4 million compared to a loss of $2.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. The change in fair value of warrant liabilities is the result of changes in market prices deriving the value of the financial instruments.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, we funded our operations principally with cash flow from operations. Upon the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, we took prudently aggressive actions to increase our financial flexibility by securing and reallocating capital resources, including: (i) eliminating all non-essential operating and capital expenditures, (ii) withdrawing the Company dividend program until further notice, (iii) deferring payment of a dividend declared on February 26, 2020 until approved by the Board, (iv) completing the 2020 Private Placement on June 12, 2020; (v) borrowing $7 million, net, on our First Lien Revolving Facility, leaving $13 million available and undrawn; and (vi) entering into an agreement to allow for the Company to operate its ATM Program, which permitted the Company to sell, from time to time, common shares up to an aggregate offering price of $50.0 million, pursuant to which, as of July 31, 2022, shares representing approximately $10 million remained available for sale under the Agreement, and which Agreement was terminated by the Company on August 1, 2022.

Since the substantial easing and conclusion of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we have resumed funding our operations principally with cash flow from operations. Our principal uses for liquidity have been funding our return to service on 193 cruise ships and in 51 destination resorts, including associated working capital investment and capital expenditures; debt service, including full repayment of $7 million borrowed under our First Lien Revolving Facility, full repayment of our $25 million Second Lien Term Loan Facility, and $42 million repayment of our First Lien Term Loan Facility; and purchasing 789,046 of our common shares at a purchase price of $11.46 per common share from Steiner Leisure Limited pursuant to a Shares Repurchase Agreement.

 

Our results continued to experience significant recovery during the year ended December 31, 2023 when compared to the prior year period, building upon the increasing magnitude of our positive net operating cash flows. Taking into account the actions described above, the magnitude and positive trend of our results of operations, and our current financial condition and resources, we have concluded that we will have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations over the next twelve months and comply with all debt covenants as required by our debt agreements.

Comparison of Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

Operating activities. Our net cash provided by operating activities for year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $63.4 million and $24.8 million, respectively. In 2023, net operating cash flows continued to accelerate from 2022, as the Company has returned to normalized operations since the conclusion of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Investing activities. Our net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $(5.4) million and $(4.8) million, respectively.

Financing activities. Our net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $(62.7) million and $(18.7) million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid $41.0 million on the First Lien Term Loan Facility, repaid the final $15.0 million on the Second Lien Term Loan Facility, thus fully extinguishing this facility, utilized $9.0 million in cash to repurchase 789,046 of our common shares, and received proceeds from the exercise of warrants of $2.4 million.

Comparison of Results for the Years Ended December 31, 2022 and 2021

Operating activities. Our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities for year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $24.8 million and $(35.1) million, respectively. The year ended December 31, 2022 net operating cash flows were significantly impacted by the ongoing resumption of our health and wellness operation onboard vessels and in destination resorts. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company incurred a deficit in net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as the Company had

45


 

substantially reduced revenues from operations onboard cruise ships and substantially reduced revenues from operations in destination resorts due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while still incurring operating expenses.

Investing activities. Our net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $(4.8) million and $(2.9) million, respectively. In the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company incurred more capital expenditures than in the year ended December 31, 2021, during which the Company incurred more limited capital expenditures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Financing activities. Our net cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were $(18.7) million and $27.5 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31 2022, the Company repaid $11.8 million on the First and Second Term Loan Facilities and $7.0 million on the First Lien Revolving Facility, and received proceeds from the exercise of public warrants of $0.059 million. For the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company sold 2.6 million common shares under the ATM Program, resulting in $27.5 million in net proceeds.

Seasonality

 

A significant portion of our revenues are generated onboard cruise ships and are subject to specific individual cruise itineraries as to time of year and geographic location, among other factors. As a result, we experience varying degrees of seasonality as the demand for cruises is stronger in the Northern Hemisphere during the summer months and during holidays. Accordingly, the third quarter and holiday periods generally result in the highest revenue yields for us. Further, cruises and destination resorts have been negatively affected by the frequency and intensity of hurricanes, particularly during the August through October period, which may be increasing in frequency and intensity due to climate change.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). We have identified the policies outlined below as critical to our business operations and an understanding of our results of operations and that require the most difficult, subjective and complex judgments. This discussion is not intended to be a comprehensive description of all accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. GAAP, with no need for management’s judgment in their application. The impact on our business operations and any associated risks related to these policies is discussed under results of operations, below, where such policies affect our reported and expected financial results. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other significant accounting policies, please see Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Note that our preparation of our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. There can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with those estimates. Our consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses specifically related to our operations. We believe the assumptions and allocations underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements are reasonable, appropriate, and consistently applied for the periods presented.

Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenues when customers obtain control of goods and services promised by the Company. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those respective goods and services. Amounts recognized are gross of commissions to cruise line or destination resort partners, which typically withhold commissions from customer payments. We have elected to present sales taxes on a net basis and, as such, sales taxes are excluded from revenue. Revenue is reported net of discounts and net of any estimated refund liability, which is determined based on historical experience.

Cost of Revenues. We make certain assumptions to allocate cost of revenues, which includes:

Cost of services. Cost of services consists primarily of the cost of product consumed in the rendering of a service, an allocable portion of wages paid to shipboard employees, an allocable portion of payments to cruise lines (which are derived as a percentage of service revenues or a minimum annual rent or a combination of both), an allocable portion of staff-related shipboard expenses, costs related to recruitment and training of shipboard employees, wages paid directly to destination resort employees, payments to destination resort venue owners, and health and wellness facility depreciation.
Cost of products. Cost of products consists primarily of the cost of products sold through our various methods of distribution, with exception to timetospa.com, an allocable portion of wages paid to shipboard employees, an allocable portion of payments to cruise lines and destination resort partners (which are derived as a percentage of product revenues

46


 

or a minimum annual rent or a combination of both). Cost of products includes the cost of products sold through various methods of distribution.

Cost of revenues may be affected by, among other things, sales mix, production levels, exchange rates, changes in supplier prices and discounts, purchasing and manufacturing efficiencies, tariffs, duties, freight and inventory costs, including impairment charges to reduce inventory to net realizable value, and increases in fuel costs. Certain cruise line and destination resort health and wellness center agreements provide for increases in the percentages of services and products revenues and/or, as the case may be, the amount of minimum annual payments over the terms of those agreements. These payments may also be increased under new agreements with cruise lines and destination resort health and wellness center owners that replace expiring agreements.

Inventories. Inventories, consisting principally of personal care products, are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. All inventory balances are comprised of finished goods used in beauty and health and wellness services or held for resale for sale to customers. Inventory reserve is recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated net realizable value. The Company’s evaluation of net realizable value requires judgment and is based on specific assumptions. The establishment of inventory reserves principally involves the estimate of the amount of inventories that will be used in health and wellness services we provide in our health and wellness centers and that will be sold to our health and wellness center guests, which is uncertain and dependent on our cruise line and destination resort partners and their customers who use our services. No inventory reserve was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded inventory impairment charges of $4.0 million (of which approximately $2.0 million was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2021) for the decline in the net realizable value of inventories, which is included in Cost of products in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. This loss principally was the result of excess, slow-moving, expiration of products and damaged inventories held in our cruise ship health and wellness centers caused by the cessation of our operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The establishment of inventory reserves involved estimating the amount of inventories that would be sold at or used in health and wellness services on cruises when they returned to sailing, which was uncertain and dependent on our cruise line partners and its customers that use our services and purchase our products. There was no incremental impairment during 2023 or 2022.

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets. Trade name represents our identifiable intangible asset not subject to amortization and is assessed for impairment annually each October or, more frequently, when events or circumstances dictate an interim test is necessary. The impairment assessment for trade name allows us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative trade name impairment test. We would perform the quantitative test if our qualitative assessment determined it was more-likely-than-not that the trade name is impaired. We may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test. The qualitative assessment evaluates factors including macro-economic conditions, industry and company-specific factors, and historical company performance in assessing fair value. Our trade name would be considered impaired if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. As of October 1, 2023 and 2022, we performed our annual trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment quantitative test and determined there was no incremental impairment. The trade name was valued through application of the relief from royalty method. Under this method, a royalty rate is applied to the revenues associated with the trade name to capture value associated with use of the name as if licensed. The resulting royalty savings are then discounted to present fair value at rates reflective of the risk and return expectations of the interests to derive its fair value as of the impairment testing date.

Long-Lived Assets. We review long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, based on estimated future cash flows, that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (asset group). An asset group is the lowest level of assets and liabilities for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. As part of the process, we exercise judgment to:

Determine if there are indicators of impairment present. Factors we consider when making this determination include assessing historical trends and the overall effect of current trends in and future expectations of the industry and the general economy and regional performance, and other asset-specific information;
Determine the projected undiscounted future cash flows when indicators of impairment are present to determine whether an asset group is recoverable by comparing the expected undiscounted future cash flows to the net carrying value of that asset group. Judgment is required when developing projections of future revenues and expenses to determine the undiscounted cash flows, which are based on estimated performance over the expected useful life of the asset group. Forward-looking estimates of performance are based on historical operating results, adjusted for current and expected future market conditions, as well as various internal projections and external sources; and
If an asset (asset group) is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) exceeds our fair value. When determining the fair value of the asset

47


 

(asset group), we consider the highest and best use of the assets from a market-participant perspective. The fair value measurement is generally determined through the use of independent third-party appraisals or an expected present value technique, both of which may include a discounted cash flow approach, which reflects assumptions of what market participants would utilize to price the asset (asset group). Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets to be abandoned, or from which no further benefit is expected, are written down to zero at the time that the determination is made and the assets are removed entirely from service.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements.

Inflation and Economic Conditions

We do not believe that inflation has had a material adverse effect on our revenues or results of operations. However, public demand for activities, including cruises, is influenced by general economic conditions, including inflation, global health epidemics/pandemics and customer preferences. Periods of economic softness could have a material adverse effect on the cruise industry and hospitality industry upon which we are dependent. Such a slowdown could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. The COVID-19 pandemic substantially negatively impacted our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition in 2022 and 2021. Recurrence of the more severe aspects of the recent adverse economic conditions, increases in inflation rates and interest rates, as well as periods of fuel price increases, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition during the period of such recurrence.

 

U.S. Tax Reform and Recent Tax Legislation

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the “CARES Act”) was enacted on March 27, 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and includes certain business and economic provisions. As a result, during 2020, the Company deferred $421,356 in payroll taxes. During 2021, the Company took the benefit of the employer retention credits. As of December 31, 2022, the Company did not have any material deferred employer retention credits available. Additionally, the Consolidated Appropriations Act (“CAA”), enacted on December 27, 2020, which extended and modified certain provisions under the CARES Act, introduced new relief provisions, and extended or made permanent certain tax provisions set to expire after December 31, 2020 through 2021. The outcome was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates.

Concentration of credit risk. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We maintain cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, none of the destination resort spas we served represented greater than 10% of our accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, two of the cruise lines we served represented greater than 10% of our accounts receivable. We do not normally require collateral or other security to support normal credit sales. We control credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company records an allowance for credit losses with respect to accounts receivable using historical collection experience, current and forecasted business conditions and generally, an account receivable balance is written off once it is determined to be uncollectible. Our expected credit losses are based on historical collection experience, current and forecasted business conditions and other facts and circumstances. The allowance for credit losses was $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021, allowance for credit losses expense amounted to $0.06, $0.02 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Allowance for credit losses expense is included within administrative operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

Interest rate risk. We are subject to interest rate risk in connection with borrowing based on a variable interest rate. Derivative financial instruments, such as interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreements, may be used for the purpose of managing fluctuating interest rate exposures that exist from our variable rate debt obligations that are expected to remain outstanding. Interest rate changes do not affect the market value of such debt, but could impact the amount of our interest payments, and accordingly, our future earnings and cash flows, assuming other factors are held constant.

48


 

Our policy is to manage interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt and interest rate derivatives based upon market conditions. Our objective in managing the exposure to interest rate changes is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we have used interest rate swaps to manage net exposure to interest rate changes to our borrowings. These swaps are typically entered into with a group of financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings, thereby reducing the risk of credit loss. A hypothetical 10% change in our interest rate would change our results of operations by approximately $0.8 million.

Foreign currency risk. The fluctuation in currency exchange rates is not a significant risk for us, as most of our revenues are earned and expenses are incurred in U.S. Dollars.

While our revenues and expenses are primarily represented by U.S. Dollars, they also are represented by various other currencies, primarily the U.K. Pound Sterling and the Euro. Accordingly, we face the risk of fluctuations in non-U.S. currencies compared to U.S. Dollars. We manage this currency risk by monitoring fluctuations in foreign currencies and, when exchange rates are appropriate, purchasing amounts of those foreign currencies. We have mitigated the risk relating to fluctuations in the U.K. Pound Sterling and the Euro through the structuring of intercompany debt. If such mitigation proves ineffective, a hypothetical 10% change in the aggregate exchange rate exposure of the U.K. Pound Sterling and the Euro to the U.S. Dollar would change our results of operations by approximately $0.2 million.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within applicable time periods. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision, and with the participation, of, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2023 and provided reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our periodic SEC filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding such required disclosure.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Management, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2023.

Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our consolidated financial statements incorporated in this Form 10-K, has also audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023 as stated in their report, which is included herein on page F-2.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system will be met. In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there is only the reasonable assurance that our controls will succeed in achieving their goals under all potential future conditions.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited

Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited and subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework ) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes and our report dated February 29, 2024 expressed unqualified opinion thereon.

Basis for Opinion

The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.

Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited

 

Opinion on the Financial Statements

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of OneSpaWorld Holdings Limited and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive(loss) income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes(collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 29, 2024 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

 

Basis for Opinion

 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

Critical Audit Matter

 

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the account or disclosures to which it relates.

 

Description of the Matter

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets – Trade Name

At December 31, 2023 the Company’s trade name had a net carrying value of $5.5 million. This intangible asset is not subject to amortization and would be considered impaired if the trade name carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value. The trade name is valued through the application of the relief from royalty method. As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the trade name is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when events or circumstances dictate an interim test is necessary. No impairment was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Auditing the Company's valuation of the trade name was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty of the significant assumption used in determining its fair value. The significant assumption used by the Company to estimate the value of the trade name is the royalty rate, which is forward-looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.

F-3


 

 

How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of management’s controls which address the risk of material misstatement relating to the measurement and valuation of the trade name. For example, we tested controls over management’s review over the royalty rate and the data inputs.

To test the fair value of the Company's trade name, our audit procedures included, among others, testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data and involving our valuation specialists to assist in testing the royalty rate. For example, we compared the royalty rate to royalty rates of other guideline companies within the same industry. In addition, we also performed a sensitivity analysis of the royalty rate to evaluate the magnitude of change in the fair value of the trade name resulting from changes in the assumption.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation, Principles of Consolidation and Principles Combination

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the consolidated balance sheet and statements of operations, comprehensive (loss) income, equity, and cash flows of OneSpaWorld. All significant intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents with reputable major financial institutions. Deposits with these banks exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits or similar limits in foreign jurisdictions. While the Company monitors daily the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which the Company deposits funds fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to invested cash or cash equivalents; however, it can provide no assurance that access to invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets.

Restricted Cash

These balances include amounts held in escrow accounts, as a result of a legal proceeding related to a tax assessment. The following table reconciles cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, to the total amount presented in our consolidated statements of cash flows for years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Inventories

Inventories, consisting principally of personal care products, are stated at the lower of cost, as determined on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. All inventory balances are comprised of finished goods used in beauty and health and wellness services or held for resale for sale to customers. Inventory reserve is recorded to write down the cost of inventory to the estimated market value. No inventory reserve was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recorded inventory impairment charges of $4.0 million (of which approximately $2.0 million was recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2021) for the decline in the net realizable value of inventories, which is included in Cost of products in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. This impairment charge principally was the result of excess, slow-moving, expiration of products and damaged inventories held at our Maritime segment caused by the cessation of our cruise line partners operations and, consequently, our Maritime segment operations due to the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic. The establishment of inventory reserves involved estimating the amount of inventories that would be sold at or used in health and wellness services on cruises when they returned to sailing, which was uncertain and dependent on our cruise line partners and its customers that use our services and purchase our products. There was no incremental impairment during 2023 and 2022. The activity in the Company’s inventory reserve is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs, which do not add to the value of the related assets or materially extend their original lives, are expensed as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized in a straight-line basis over the shorter of the terms of the respective leases and the estimated useful lives of the respective assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets Other than Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets including property and equipment and intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, based on estimated future cash flows, that the carrying amount of these assets may not be fully recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset (asset group) to future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset (asset group). An asset group is the lowest level of assets and liabilities for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. When estimating future cash flows, the Company considers:

only the future cash flows that are directly associated with and that are expected to arise as a direct result of the use and eventual disposition of the asset group;
potential events and changes in circumstance affecting key estimates and assumptions; and
the existing service potential of the asset (asset group) at the date tested.

If an asset (asset group) is considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset (asset group) exceeds its fair value. When determining the fair value of the asset (asset group), the Company considers the highest and best use of the assets from a market-participant perspective. The fair value measurement is generally determined through the use of independent third-party appraisals or an expected present value technique, both of which may include a discounted cash flow approach, which reflects assumptions of what market participants would utilize to price the asset (asset group).

Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Assets to be abandoned, or from which no further benefit is expected, are written down to zero at the time that the determination is made, and the assets are removed entirely from service.

F-13


 

Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets

Trade name represents our Identifiable intangible asset not subject to amortization and is assessed for impairment annually each October or, more frequently, when events or circumstances dictate an interim test is necessary. The impairment assessment for trade name allows us to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform a more detailed quantitative trade name impairment test. We would perform the quantitative test if our qualitative assessment determined it was more-likely-than-not that the trade name is impaired. We may also elect to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to the quantitative test. The qualitative assessment evaluates factors including macro-economic conditions, industry and company-specific factors, and historical company performance in assessing fair value. Our trade name would be considered impaired if its carrying value exceeds its estimated fair value.

Definite-Lived Intangible Assets

The Company amortizes intangible assets with definite lives on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Definite-Lived Intangible Assets include the contracts with cruise lines and leases with hotels and resorts. Contracts with cruise lines are generally renewed every five years. The Company has the intent and ability to renew such contracts over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Costs incurred to renew contracts are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenues and operating expenses over the term of the contract.

Lease agreements with destination resorts in which the Company operates are generally renewed every ten years. The Company has the intent and ability to renew such contracts, except for the two destination resort health and wellness centers for which we recognized a long-lived asset impairment loss. See Note 16 – “Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives ” for further details.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized when customers obtain control of goods and services promised by the Company. The amount of revenue recognized is based on the amount that reflects the consideration that is expected to be received in exchange for those respective goods and services. Amounts recognized are gross of commissions to cruise line or destination resort partners, which typically withhold commissions from customer payments. The Company has elected to present sales taxes on a net basis and, as such, sales taxes are excluded from revenue. Revenue is reported net of discounts and net of any estimated refund liability, which is determined based on historical experience. The Company also issues gift cards for future goods or services; revenue is recognized when they are redeemed; we also recognize revenue for breakage based on past experience for gift card amounts we expect to go unredeemed.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of services consists primarily of the cost of product consumed in the rendering of a service, an allocable portion of wages paid to shipboard employees, an allocable portion of payments to cruise lines (which are derived as a percentage of service revenues or a minimum annual rent or a combination of both), an allocable portion of staff-related shipboard expenses, costs related to recruitment and training of shipboard employees, wages paid directly to destination resort employees, payments to destination resort venue owners, and health and wellness facility depreciation.

Cost of products consists primarily of the cost of products sold through the Company’s various methods of distribution, an allocable portion of wages paid to shipboard employees, an allocable portion of payments to cruise lines (which are derived as a percentage of product revenues or a minimum annual rent or a combination of both), and an allocable portion of staff-related shipboard expenses.

Costs incurred to renew long-term contracts are capitalized and amortized to cost of services over the term of the contract.

Shipping and Handling

Shipping and handling costs associated with inbound freight are capitalized to inventories and relieved through cost of sales as inventories are sold. Shipping and handling costs associated with the delivery of products are included in administrative expenses. The shipping and handling costs included in administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.04 million, respectively.

 

Advertising

Substantially all of the Company’s advertising costs are charged to expense as incurred, except costs that result in tangible assets, such as brochures, which are recorded as prepaid expenses and charged to expense as consumed. Advertising expenses included in cost of

F-14


 

revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $3.8 million, $2.1 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation

The Company recognizes expense for our share-based compensation awards using a fair-value-based method. Share-based compensation expense is recognized over the requisite service period for awards that are based on a service period and not contingent upon any future performance. Share-based compensation expense is included within salary, benefits and payroll taxes expense in the consolidated statements of operations. We elected to treat shared-based awards with only service conditions and graded vesting features as a single award and recognize stock-based compensation expense on a straight-line basis. Share-based awards with performance and graded vesting features are expensed using the accelerated attribution method. We recognize forfeitures as they occur rather than estimating them over the life of the award. See Note 10 – “Stock Based Compensation” for further details.

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented in the consolidated balance sheets as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. These deferred issuance costs are amortized over the term of the loan agreement. The amortization of deferred financing fees is included in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

Warrant Liabilities

We account for common stock warrants in accordance with applicable guidance provide in ASC Topic 815 as either liability or equity instruments depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement. We evaluated the warrants under this guidance and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ equity in all periods presented. Accordingly, the warrants are classified as a liability at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022. The change in the fair value of such liability in each period is recognized as a gain or loss in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income .

Income Taxes

 

As part of the process of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Company is required to estimate its income taxes in each of the jurisdictions in which it operates. This process involves estimating the Company’s actual current income tax exposure together with an assessment of temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax purposes and accounting purposes, respectively. These differences result in deferred income tax assets and liabilities which are included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Deferred taxes are recorded using the currently enacted tax rates that applied in the periods that the differences are expected to reverse. The Company must then assess the likelihood that its deferred income tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the extent that the Company believes that recovery is not likely, the Company must establish a valuation allowance. With respect to acquired deferred tax assets, changes within the measurement period, under ASC Topic 805, Business Combinations, that result from new information about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date shall be recognized through a corresponding adjustment to goodwill. Subsequent to the measurement period, all other changes shall be reported as a reduction or increase to income tax expense in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The Company believes a large percentage of its shipboard service’s income is foreign-source income, not effectively connected to a business it conducts in the U.S. and, therefore, not subject to U.S. income taxation.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties within the provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. To the extent interest and penalties are not assessed with respect to uncertain tax positions, amounts accrued, therefore, will be reduced and reflected as a reduction of the overall income tax provision.

The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a two-step process. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the weight of available evidence indicates it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, if any. The second step is to measure the tax benefit as the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

As discussed in Note 9 – “Equity”, the Company has two classes of common stock, Voting and Non-Voting. Shares of Non-Voting common stock are in all respects identical to and treated equally with shares of Voting common stock except for the absence of voting rights. Basic (loss) earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income adjusted for the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, if the impact is dilutive, by the weighted average number of diluted shares, as calculated under the treasury stock method, which includes the potential effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, such as options and warrants to purchase common shares, and contingently issuable shares. If the entity reports a net loss, rather than net income for the period, the computation of diluted loss per share excludes the effect of dilutive common stock equivalents, if their effect is anti-dilutive. The Company has not presented (loss) income per share under the two-class method, because the (loss) income per share are the same for both Voting and Non-Voting common stock since they are entitled to the same liquidation and dividend rights.

The following table provides details underlying OneSpaWorld’s (loss) income per basic and diluted share calculation (in thousands, except per share data):

Foreign Currency Transactions

For currency exchange rate purposes, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Equity and other items are translated at historical rates, and income and expenses are translated at the average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. The related translation adjustments are reflected in the accumulated other comprehensive income caption of the Company’s balance sheets. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from transactions, including intercompany transactions, are included in results of operations. The transaction gains (losses) included in the administrative expenses caption of the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $0.04 million, $(0.3) million and $(0.2) million, respectively.

F-16


 

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Additionally, the inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy.

The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1—Value is based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2—Value is based on observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1. This includes dealer and broker quotations, bid prices, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3—Value is based on unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the assessment of net realizable value of inventories, the recovery of long-lived assets and other intangible assets, the determination of deferred income taxes including valuation allowances, the useful lives of definite-lived intangible assets, the fair value of warrants, contingencies and property and equipment.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the Company had two cruise companies that represented greater than 10% of accounts receivable. The Company does not normally require collateral or other security to support normal credit sales. The Company controls credit risk through credit approvals, credit limits, and monitoring procedures.

Accounts receivable are stated at amounts due from customers, net of an allowance for credit losses. The Company records an allowance for credit losses with respect to accounts receivable using historical collection experience, current and forecasted business conditions and generally, an account receivable balance is written off once it is determined to be uncollectible. Our expected credit losses are based on historical collection experience, current and forecasted business conditions and other facts and circumstances. The allowance for credit losses was $0.2 million and $0.1 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and 2021, allowance for credit losses expense amounted to $0.06, $0.02 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Allowance for credit losses expense is included within administrative operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The activity in the Company’s allowance for credit losses is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Adoption of Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326).” This ASU amends the FASB’s guidance on the impairment of financial instruments. The ASU adds to U.S. GAAP an impairment model (known as the current expected credit losses model) that is based on an expected losses model rather than an incurred losses model. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses. The ASU is also intended to reduce the complexity of U.S. GAAP by decreasing the number of impairment models that entities use to account for debt instruments. In November 2019, the FASB issued guidance (ASU 2019-10) that defers the effective dates of the Financial Instruments—Credit Losses standard for entities that have not yet issued financial statements adopting the standard. The update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 with early adoption permitted. On implementation in 2023, the adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. This ASU provides practical expedients and exception for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The FASB also issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope in January 2021, which adds implementation guidance to clarify which optional expedients in Topic 848 may be applied to derivative instruments that do not reference LIBOR or a reference rate that is expected to be discontinued, but that are being modified as a result of the discounting transition. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, which extended the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. On April 5, 2023, the Company amended its First Lien Credit Facilities (as defined in Note 7, “Debt”), where the interest rate benchmark was updated from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a result of the expected cessation of LIBOR. In June 2023, the Company amended its interest rate swap agreement to implement certain changes in the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR (See Note 15). In connection with the amendment of our First Lien Credit Facilities and debt interest rate swap agreement, we elected to apply the optional expedients in Topic 848 to (i) assert that the hedged interest payments remain probable regardless of any expected modification in terms related to reference rate reform, and (ii) continue the method of assessing effectiveness as documented in the original hedge documentation so that the reference rate on the hypothetical derivative matches the reference rate on the hedging instrument. The application of these expedients preserves the cash flow hedge designation of the interest rate swap and presentation consistent with past presentation and did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company. The following summary of recent accounting pronouncements is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the respective pronouncement.

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-07 ("ASU 2023-07"), Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures which requires, among other things, the following: (i) enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included in a segment's reported measure of profit or loss; (ii) disclosure of the amount and description of the composition of other segment items, as defined in ASU 2023-07, by reportable segment; and (iii) reporting the disclosures about each reportable segment's profit or loss and assets on an annual and interim basis. The provisions of ASU 2023-07 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the expected impact of the future adoption of this guidance.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09 ("ASU 2023-09"), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires, among other things, the following for public business entities: (i) enhanced disclosures of specific categories of reconciling items included in the rate reconciliation, as well as additional information for any of these items meeting certain qualitative and quantitative thresholds; (ii) disclosure of the nature, effect and underlying causes of each individual reconciling item disclosed in the rate reconciliation and the judgment used in categorizing them if not otherwise evident; and (iii) enhanced disclosures for income taxes paid, which includes federal, state, and foreign taxes, as well as for individual jurisdictions over a certain quantitative threshold.

6. Leases

Nature of Leases

We have operating leases related to the destination resort agreements, office space and certain equipment. There are certain immaterial finance equipment leases recorded in the consolidated balance sheets. Certain of our leases include both lease and non-lease components. We have adopted the practical expedient which allows us to combine lease and non-lease components by class of asset. We have entered into a sublease agreement for certain leased office space; however, the sublease income from this agreement is immaterial.

Significant Assumptions and Judgments in Applying leases (Topic 842)

The Company has entered into agreements of varying terms with the cruise lines under which services and products are paid for by cruise passengers. These agreements provide for the Company to pay the cruise line commissions for use of their shipboard facilities, as well as fees for staff shipboard meals and accommodation. These commissions are generally based on a percentage of revenue for most of the agreements, and a minimum annual amount, or a combination of both for certain agreements. We believe that these agreements did not contain a lease since we concluded that we do not have the right to direct how and for what purpose the spa and fitness facilities, or related equipment is used.

Most of our destination resort health and wellness centers generally require rent based on a percentage of revenues, with some locations having escalating percentages at different revenue amounts. In addition, as part of the rental arrangements for some of the destination resort health and wellness centers, the Company is required to pay a minimum annual rental regardless of whether such amount would be required to be paid under the percentage rent arrangement. Fixed or minimum payments and variable lease payments that depend on a rate or index are included in the calculation of the right-of-use asset. Other variable payments are excluded from the calculation and are recognized in the period in which the obligations for those payments is incurred.

Certain leases include renewal options ranging from three to five years. The renewal options are included in the lease term only for those leases in which they are reasonably certain to be renewed.

As our leases do not have a readily determinable implicit rate, we used our weighted average cost of debt to determine the net present value of the lease payments at the adoption date. Our weighted average cost of debt is similar to the incremental borrowing rate we would have obtained if we had borrowed collateralized debt over the lease term to purchase the asset.

We have adopted the practical expedient to exclude leases with terms of less than one year from being included on the balance sheet. Lease expense for agreements that are short-term were immaterial for the year ended December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 2- "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies", for further information on the adoption of ASC 842.

On March 19, 2019, the Company entered into (i) senior secured first lien credit facilities (the “First Lien Credit Facilities”) with Goldman Sachs Lending Partners LLC, as administrative agent, and certain lenders, consisting of (x) a term loan facility of $208.5 million (of which $20 million was borrowed by a subsidiary of the Company) (the “First Lien Term Loan Facility”), (y) a revolving loan facility of up to $20 million (the “First Lien Revolving Facility”) and (z) a delayed draw term loan facility of $5 million (the “First Lien Delayed Draw Facility”), and (ii) a senior secured second lien term loan facility of $25 million with Cortland Capital Market Services LLC, as administrative agent, and Neuberger Berman Alternative Funds, Neuberger Berman Long Short Fund, as lender. (the “Second Lien Term Loan Facility” and, together with the First Lien Term Loan Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”; the New Term Loan Facilities, together with the First Lien Revolving Facility and the First Lien Delayed Draw Facility, are referred to as the “New Credit Facilities”). The First Lien Revolving Facility includes borrowing capacity available for letters of credit up to $5 million. Any issuance of letters of credit reduces the amount available under the New First Lien Revolving Facility. The First Lien Term Loan Facility matures seven years after March 19, 2019, the First Lien Revolving Facility matures five years after March 19, 2019 and the Second Lien Term Loan Facility matures eight years after March 19, 2019.

On April 5, 2023, we entered into amendment No 2 to the First Lien Credit Facilities, which replaced the LIBOR-based rate of interest therein with an adjusted SOFR-based rate of interest. As amended, loans outstanding under the First Lien Credit Facilities will accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin of 4.00%, with one step down to 3.75% upon achievement of a certain leverage ratio, and undrawn amounts under the First Lien Revolving Facility will accrue a commitment fee at a rate per annum of 0.50% on the average daily undrawn portion of the commitments thereunder, with one step down to 0.325% upon achievement of a certain leverage ratio. Loans outstanding under the Second Lien Term Loan Facility accrued interest at a rate per annum equal to LIBOR plus 7.50%.

The obligations under the New Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Company and each of its direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries organized under the laws of the United States and the Commonwealth of The Bahamas, in each case, other than certain excluded subsidiaries, including, but not limited to, immaterial subsidiaries, non-profit subsidiaries, and any other subsidiary with respect to which the burden or cost of providing a guarantee is excessive in view of the benefits to be obtained by the lenders therefrom. In addition, under the New Credit Facilities, certain of our direct and indirect subsidiaries have granted the lenders a security interest in substantially all of their assets.

The Term Loan Facilities require the Company to make certain mandatory prepayments, with (i) 100% of net cash proceeds of all non-ordinary course asset sales or other dispositions of property, subject to the ability to reinvest such proceeds and certain other exceptions, and subject to step downs if certain leverage ratios are met and (ii) 100% of the net cash proceeds of any debt incurrence, other than debt permitted under the definitive agreements (but excluding debt incurred to refinance the New Credit Facilities). The Company also is required to make quarterly amortization payments equal to 0.25% of the original principal amount of the First Lien Term Loan Facility commencing after the first full fiscal quarter after the closing date of the New Credit Facilities (subject to reductions by optional and mandatory prepayments of the loans). The Company may prepay all or any portion of (i) the First Lien Credit Facilities at any time without premium or penalty, subject to a one-time deleveraging payment fee (as defined by our Debt agreement), payment of customary breakage costs and a customary “soft call,” and (ii) the Second Lien Term Loan Facility at any time without premium or penalty, subject to a customary make-whole premium for any voluntary prepayment prior to the date that is 30 months following the closing date of the New Credit Facilities (the “Callable Date”), following by a call premium of (x) 4.00% on or prior to the first anniversary of the Callable Date, (y) 2.50% after the first anniversary but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Callable Date, and (z) 1.50% after the second anniversary but on or prior to the third anniversary of the Callable Date. During the fourth quarter of 2019, we prepaid principal amounts of $5 million of our First Lien Term Loan Facility. During the third quarter of 2022, we repaid $7 million on the First Lien Revolving Facility. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we prepaid principal amounts of $10 million of our Second Lien Term Loan Facility. During 2023, we repaid principal amounts of $41 million of our First Lien Credit Facilities. During the first and second quarter of 2023, we repaid the remaining principal amount of $15 million of our Second Lien Term Loan Facility. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2023, our Second Lien Term Loan Facility has been fully repaid and terminated.

Under our First Lien Term Facility agreement, our lower net debt leverage ratio at December 31, 2023 required us to pay our lenders a one-time $5.4 million deleveraging payment fee. This amount is included in interest expense in 2023 and accrued liabilities at December 31, 2023.

The New Credit Facilities contain a financial covenant related to the maintenance of a leverage ratio and a number of customary negative covenants including covenants related to the following subjects: consolidations, mergers, and sales of assets; limitations on the incurrence of certain liens; limitations on certain indebtedness; limitations on the ability to pay dividends; and certain affiliate transactions. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the company was in compliance with all of the covenants contained in the New Credit Facilities.

If we do not comply with these covenants, we would have to seek amendments to these covenants from our lenders or evaluate the options to cure the defaults contained in the credit agreements. However, no assurances can be made that such amendments would be approved by our lenders. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the New Credit Facilities are entitled to take various actions,

including the acceleration of amounts due under the New Credit Facilities and all actions permitted to be taken by a secured creditor, subject to customary intercreditor provisions among the first and second lien secured parties, which would have a material adverse impact to our operations and liquidity.

8. Warrant Liabilities

Public Warrants

Each whole Public Warrant is exercisable to purchase one share of common stock and only whole warrants are exercisable. The Public Warrants became exercisable 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination. Each whole Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of OneSpaWorld common stock at an exercise price of $11.50.

Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of OneSpaWorld common stock. This means that only a whole warrant may be exercised at any given time by a warrant holder. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the units and only whole warrants will trade. Accordingly, unless the holder purchases at least two units, the holder will not be able to receive or trade a whole warrant. The warrants will expire on March 19, 2024 and no longer exercisable or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company filed with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the shares of OneSpaWorld common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. This registration statement has since been declared effective by the SEC. The Company will use its reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company’s common stock is at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that it satisfies the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company so elects, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but the Company will be required to use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the warrants become exercisable, the Company may call the warrants for redemption:

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption (the “30-day redemption period”) to each warrant holder; and

F-23


 

if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

Between March 13 and March 15, 2023, the Company entered into separate privately negotiated warrant exchange agreements (the “Exchange Agreements”) with certain holders of its Public Warrants and Sponsor Warrants (as defined below) to exchange for an aggregate number of the Company’s common shares. On April 26, 2023, the Company closed the exchange of the Public Warrants, and holders of Public Warrants exchanged 15,286,824 Public Warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.2047 Common Shares per Public Warrant for an aggregate of 3,129,200 Common Shares. The exchange ratio was determined pursuant to the Exchange Agreements and was based on the 30-day VWAP of Common Shares, ending on April 24, 2023. As a result of the closing of the above-described transactions, the Company exchanged an aggregate of approximately 95% of the outstanding Public Warrants

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 841,414 and 16,145,279, respectively, Public Warrants were issued and outstanding. We evaluated the Public Warrants under ASC Topic 815 and concluded that upon issuance of the Non-Voting Common Shares on June 12, 2020 they do not meet the criteria to be classified in stockholders’ equity. Accordingly, the Public Warrants are classified as a liability at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022 (See “Note 2”).

Sponsor Warrants

On October 19, 2017, Haymaker issued 8,000,000 Sponsor Warrants to purchase its common stock in a private placement concurrently with its IPO. In connection with the Business Combination Haymaker transferred 3,105,294 Sponsor Warrants (the “2019 PIPE Warrants”) in private placements to certain investors (the “PIPE Investors”) and to SLL. Each whole 2019 PIPE Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of OneSpaWorld common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the purchase of the 2019 PIPE Warrants were used to fund a portion of the cash payment payable in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination. The 2019 PIPE Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Investors or their permitted transferees.

The 2019 PIPE Warrants (including the OneSpaWorld common stock issuable upon exercise of the 2019 PIPE Warrants) will not be transferable, assignable or saleable until 30 days after the Business Combination and they will not be redeemable so long as they are held by the Investors or their permitted transferees. Otherwise, the 2019 PIPE Warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the Public Warrants, including as to exercise price, exercisability and exercise period. If the 2019 PIPE Warrants are held by holders other than the Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the 2019 PIPE Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by the holders on the same basis the Public Warrants. If holders of the 2019 PIPE Warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of shares of OneSpaWorld common stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of shares of OneSpaWorld common stock underlying the 2019 PIPE Warrants, multiplied by the difference between the exercise price of the warrants and the “fair market value” (defined below) by (y) the fair market value. The “fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A common stock for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. The warrants will expire and no longer exercisable on March 19, 2024.

Between March 13 and March 15, 2023, the Company entered into separate privately negotiated Exchange Agreements with certain holders of its Sponsor Warrants to exchange for the Company’s common shares: (i) 3,055,906 Sponsor Warrants from certain affiliates and (ii) 928,003 Sponsor Warrants from certain non-affiliates. On April 25, 2023, the Company closed the exchange of the Sponsor Warrants. Certain directors and affiliates of the Company exchanged 3,055,906 Sponsor Warrants at a fixed exchange ratio of 0.175 Common Shares per Sponsor Warrant for an aggregate of 534,780 Common Shares, and non-affiliated holders of Sponsor Warrants exchanged 928,003 Sponsor Warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.2047 Common Shares per Sponsor Warrant for an aggregate of 189,958 Common Shares. The exchange ratio was determined pursuant to the Exchange Agreements and was based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price ("VWAP") of Common Shares, ending on April 24, 2023. The Company exchanged an aggregate of approximately 50% of the outstanding Sponsor Warrants.

 

Immediately prior to the exchanges, the Public and Sponsor Warrants exchanged were remeasured to fair value, resulting on a loss of $15.5 million in "Change in fair value of warrant liabilities" on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and a warrant liability of $45.3 million, which was then reclassified to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 3,823,847 and 8,000,000, respectively, Sponsor Warrants were issued and outstanding. We evaluated the Sponsor Warrants, including the 2019 PIPE Warrants under ASC Topic 815, and concluded that upon issuance on March 19, 2019 they do not meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, the Sponsor Warrants are classified as a liability at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022 (See “Note 2”).

F-24


 

2020 PIPE Warrants

The 2020 PIPE Warrants will expire on the earlier of (i) the fifth anniversary of the closing of the 2020 Private Placement or (ii) the Redemption Date (as defined below). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of OneSpaWorld common stock at an exercise price of $5.75. The 2020 PIPE Warrants may be exercised on a “cashless” basis, in accordance with a specified formula. In addition, the Company may, at any time prior to their expiration, elect to redeem not less than all of such then-outstanding 2020 PIPE Warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant, provided that the last sales price of the common shares reported has been at least $14.50 per share (subject to adjustment in accordance with certain specified events), on each of twenty trading days within the thirty-trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of the redemption is given (the “Redemption Date”), and provided that the common shares issuable upon exercise of such 2020 PIPE Warrants have been registered, qualified or are exempt from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the 2020 PIPE Warrant.

 

On May 16, 2023, certain holders of the 2020 PIPE warrants elected to exercise 4,104,999 warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the agreement governing the warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.53, in exchange for which the Company issued 2,122,951 of non-voting common shares and 53,008 of voting common shares, respectively. Immediately prior to the exercise, the 2020 PIPE Warrants exercised were remeasured to fair value, resulting on a gain of $3.8 million in "Change in fair value of warrant liabilities" on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 and a warrant liability of $23.9 million, which was then reclassified to additional paid in capital in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023. In July 2023, certain holder of the 2020 PIPE warrants elected to exercise 63,334 warrants on a cashless basis pursuant to the agreement governing the warrants at an exchange ratio of 0.49, in exchange for which the Company issued 31,319 of voting common shares.

As of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 828,334 and 5,000,000 2020 PIPE Warrants were issued and outstanding. We evaluated the 2020 PIPE Warrant Warrants under ASC Topic 815 and concluded that they do not meet the criteria to be classified in shareholders’ equity. Accordingly, the 2020 PIPE Warrants are classified as a liability at fair value upon issuance on June 12, 2020 and subsequently (See “Note 2”).

9. Equity

Common Shares

The Company is authorized to issue 250,000,000 common shares with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Pursuant to the Investment Agreement discussed below, we have amended our Articles of Incorporation (the “Articles”) and created a new class of Non-Voting Common Shares, par value $0.0001 per share. Of the authorized shares 225,000,000 are “Voting Common Shares” and 25,000,000 are “Non-Voting Common Shares.” The Non-Voting Common Shares are of equal rank to the Voting Common Shares, in terms of dividends, liquidation, preferences and all other rights and features, with the following exceptions: (i) the Non-Voting Common Shares have no voting rights, except as may be required by law; (ii) Steiner Leisure Limited (“Steiner Leisure”) may vote its Non-Voting Common Shares in favor of its director designees; and (iii) the Non-Voting Common Shares will automatically be converted to Voting Common Shares upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Articles. Holders of the Company’s voting common stock are entitled to one vote for each share. At December 31, 2023, there were 99,734,672 voting shares and zero non-voting shares of OneSpaWorld common stock issued and outstanding. At December 31, 2022, there were 79,544,055 voting shares and 13,421,914 non-voting shares of OneSpaWorld common stock issued and outstanding.

Conversion of Non-Voting Common Shares to Voting Common Shares

 

Automatic Conversion

Each Non-Voting Common Share will automatically convert into one Voting Common Share, upon the occurrence of a Qualified Transfer of such Non-Voting Common Share or with the prior consent of our Board. A “Qualified Transfer” means a transfer (x) to a third party that is not (1) an affiliate of such holder nor (2) a person whose ownership thereof would result in such shares being treated as constructively owned by such holder under Section 958(b) of the U.S. Tax Code, applicable Treasury Regulations and other official guidance (a Person described in this clause (x), an “Unrelated Person”), and (y) that is not otherwise prohibited under the Articles. During the year ended December 31, 2021, 3.8 million Non-Voting Common Shares were converted into Voting Common Shares as a result of a Qualified Transfer.

Elective Conversion

Upon the occurrence of a Contingent Conversion Triggering Event (as defined below), a number of Non-Voting Common Shares as elected will be converted into an identical number of Voting Common Shares; provided, that the number of Non-Voting Common Shares so converted may not exceed the number of Non-Voting Common Shares that, if converted, would reasonably be expected to (1) cause the Company to become a “CFC” (as defined in the Articles) as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company, upon the advice of its legal counsel, or (2) cause such holder, together with its affiliates, to hold voting power exceeding 44.9% (as reasonably determined in good faith by the Company). A “Contingent Conversion Triggering Event” shall mean (1) a decrease in the

F-25


 

number of directors that the applicable holder has the right to designate for appointment or nomination or a decrease in the number of directors so designated by the applicable holder as a result of an irrevocable waiver of such rights, (2) the transfer of Voting Common Shares by certain holders that participated in the 2020 Private Placement or any of their affiliates on or prior to the one year anniversary of the closing of the 2020 Private Placement (I) to an “Unrelated Person” (as defined in the Articles), and (II) that is not prohibited under the Articles, or (3) the exercise by a the holder or its affiliates of a warrant to purchase Non-Voting Common Shares (or a warrant for which such holder or such affiliate has previously agreed to receive Non- Voting Common Shares upon exercise); provided that, with respect to clause (3), the number of shares designated for conversion shall not exceed the number of Non-Voting Common Shares received upon exercise of such warrant. Each Non-Voting Common Share that is converted into a Voting Common Share shall be canceled by the Company and shall not be available for reissuance.

 

In May 2023, Steiner Leisure Limited sold an aggregate of 10,320,000 shares of our common stock in a registered, underwritten public offering (the “May 2023 Secondary Offering”). Of the total shares of common stock sold by Steiner Leisure Limited in the May 2023 Secondary Offering, 3,034,104 shares of common stock were shares of non-voting common stock that were automatically converted into shares of voting common stock on a one-for-one basis upon the closing of the transaction. Following the closing of the May 2023 Secondary Offering, Steiner Leisure Limited exercised its right to convert its remaining 12,510,760 shares of non-voting common stock (including 2,122,950 shares of non-voting common stock previously issued to Steiner Leisure Limited in connection with the exercise of its 2020 PIPE Warrants to purchase common stock in May 2023) into shares of voting common stock on a one-for-one basis pursuant to the terms of our Third Amended and Restated Memorandum of Association.

Governance Agreement

In connection with a private placement transaction that occurred on June 12, 2020 (the "2020 Private Placement"), the Company, Steiner Leisure and, solely for the purpose of Section 18 thereof, Haymaker, entered into a Governance Agreement (the “Governance Agreement”), pursuant to which, Steiner Leisure and certain of its affiliates were granted certain consent, director designation, and other rights with respect to the Company. The Governance Agreement superseded the Director Designation Agreement, dated as of November 1, 2018, by and among the Company, Steiner Leisure and Haymaker. Under the terms of the Governance Agreement, among other things, Steiner Leisure has the right to designate and appoint two directors so long as Steiner Leisure and its affiliates own at least 15% of the issued and outstanding common shares and one director so long as Steiner Leisure and its affiliates own at least 5% of the issued and outstanding common shares. Although Steiner Leisure owns less than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock as of the date of this annual report, two directors originally nominated by Steiner Leisure continue to serve on our Board. The continued service by these two directors has been approved by our Board.

Dividends Declared Per Common Share

In November 2019, the Company adopted a cash dividend program and declared an initial quarterly payment of $0.04 per common share. On March 24, 2020, the Company announced that it is deferring payment of its dividend declared on February 26, 2020, for payment on May 29, 2020, to shareholders of record on April 10, 2020, until the Board reapproves its payment; and withdrawing its dividend program until further notice. As of December 31, 2023, and 2022, dividends payable amounted to approximately $2.4 million which is presented as other-long term liabilities and other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

At-The-Market Equity Offering

During the year ended December 31, 2021, we sold 2.6 million shares under our at-The-Market Equity Offering Sales Agreement (the “Agreement”) for net proceeds of $27.5 million, after offering-related expenses paid of $0.9 million. On August 1, 2022, the Company exercised its right to terminate the Agreement entered into on December 7, 2020 with Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (the “Sales Agent”), pursuant to which the Company had the right to offer and sell, from time to time, through the Sales Agent, its common shares, par value $0.0001 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $50.0 million (the “ATM Program”). Prior to the termination of the Agreement, the Company sold a total of 3.9 million common shares through the ATM Program and shares representing approximately $10 million remained available for sale under the Agreement. No sales of common shares by the Company under the ATM Program have occurred subsequent to October 2021.

Repurchase Agreement

On November 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Shares Repurchase Agreement between the Company and Steiner Leisure Limited (the “Seller”), pursuant to which the Company purchased 789,046 common shares, par value $0.0001 per share, from the Seller at a purchase price of $11.46 per Common Share (the “Repurchase”). The Repurchase closed on December 4, 2023. We returned those shares to the status of authorized but unissued. We allocated the excess of the repurchase price over the par value of the shares acquired between additional paid-in capital and accumulated deficit.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

 

2019 Equity Incentive Plan and Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s Board and shareholders approved the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2019 Plan”) on March 18, 2019. The purpose of the 2019 Plan is to make available incentives that will assist the Company to attract, retain, and motivate employees, including officers, consultants and directors. The Company may provide these incentives through the grant of share options, share appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance shares and units and other cash-based or share-based awards. The Equity Plan provides participants an option to defer compensation on a tax-deferred basis. Awards may be granted under the 2019 Plan to OneSpaWorld employees, including officers, directors or consultants or those of any present or future parent or subsidiary corporation or other affiliated entity. A total of 7,000,000 OneSpaWorld Shares have been authorized and reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan.

Stock Based Compensation Cost

Stock based compensation cost, which is included as a component of salary, benefits and payroll taxes in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $10.1 million, $12.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $12.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock units and performance stock units.

Restricted Share Units

The Company’s restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been issued to employees and directors with vesting periods ranging from one year to three years and vest based solely on service conditions. RSUs become unrestricted common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. The cost of these awards is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period.

The following is a summary of RSUs activity for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021:

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated based on the fair value of $14.10, $9.33 and $10.02 per share of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2022, respectively, due to the fact that the performance stock units carry a $0 exercise price.

The total fair value of RSUs that vested in 2023, 2022 and 2021, based on the market price of the underlying shares on that day of vesting, was $11.1 million, $8.6 million and $6.6 million, respectively.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $7.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock award grants, which will be recognized over the weighted-average period of approximately 1.8 years.

 

Performance Share Units

 

The Company grants certain executive officers and senior-level employees performance share units that generally vest based on either performance and time-based service condition (“Performance Condition-Based Awards”) or market and time-based service conditions (“Market Condition-Based Awards”) which are referred to herein as Performance Share Units (“PSUs”). The number of shares of

F-27


 

common stock underlying each award is determined at the end of the performance period. In order to vest, the employee must be employed by the Company, with certain contractual exclusions, at the end of the performance period.

 

Performance Condition-Based Awards

 

PSUs are converted into shares of common stock upon vesting on a one-for-one basis. The Company estimates the fair value of each performance share when the grant is authorized, and the related service period has commenced. The Company recognizes compensation cost over the vesting period based on the probability of the performance conditions being achieved. If the specified service and performance conditions are not met, compensation expense is not recognized, and any previously recognized compensation expense will be reversed. As of December 31, 2023, we determined that the performance measures for the outstanding PSUs were probable.

 

Market Condition-Based Awards

The Company estimates the fair value of each PSUs when the grant is authorized, and the related service period has commenced. Expense for these PSUs is recorded over the derived service period.

The total fair value of PSUs that vested in 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $11.4 million, $3.0 million and $5.4 million, respectively, based on the market price of the underlying shares on that day of vesting. As of December 31, 2023, there was total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested performance-based PSUs of $5.6 million. The costs are expected to be recognized over the weighted-average period of approximately 1.9 years. As of December 31, 2023, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested market-based PSUs. The aggregate intrinsic value of PSUs was $10.3 million and $11.5 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of PSUs is based on the number of nonvested PSUs and the market value of the Company’s common stock as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stock Options

During the year ended December 31, 2021, 941,512 options were forfeited due to the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer.

11. Revenue Recognition

The Company's revenue generating activities include the following:

 

Service Revenues

Service revenues consist primarily of sales of health, wellness and beauty services, including a full range of massage treatments, facial treatments, nutritional/weight management consultations, teeth whitening, mindfulness services and medi-spa services to cruise ship passengers and destination resort guests. Each service or consultation represents a separate performance obligation and revenues are generally recognized immediately upon the completion of our service. Given the short duration of our performance obligation, although some services are recognized over time, there is no material difference in the timing of recognition across reporting periods.

Product Revenues

Product revenues consist primarily of sales of health and wellness products, such as facial skincare, body care, hair care, orthotics and nutritional supplements to cruise ship passengers, destination resort guests and timetospa.com customers. Our Shop & Ship program provides guests the ability to buy retail products onboard and have products shipped directly to their home. Each product unit represents a separate performance obligation. Our performance obligations are satisfied, and revenue is recognized when the customer obtains control of the product, which occurs either at the point of sale for retail sales and at the time of shipping for Shop & Ship and timetospa.com product sales. The Company provides no warranty on products sold. Shipping and handling fees charged to customers are included in net sales.

 

Gift Cards

The Company only offers no-fee, non-expiring gift cards to its customers. At the time gift cards are sold, no revenue is recognized; rather, the Company records a contract liability to customers. The liability is relieved, and revenue is recognized equal to the amount redeemed at the time gift cards are redeemed for products or services. The Company records revenue from an estimate of unredeemed gift cards (breakage) in net sales on a pro-rata basis over the time period gift cards are redeemed. At least three years of historical data, updated annually, is used to determine actual redemption patterns. The liability for unredeemed gift cards is included in “Other current liabilities” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets and was not material as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Customer Loyalty Rewards Program

The Company initiated a customer loyalty program during October 2019 in which customers earn points based on their spending on timetospa.com. The Company recognizes the estimated net amount of the rewards that will be earned and redeemed as a reduction to net sales at the time of the initial transaction and as tender when the points are subsequently redeemed by a customer. The liability for customer loyalty programs was not material as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

 

Contract Balances

Receivables from the Company’s contracts with customers are included within accounts receivables, net in the consolidated balance sheets. Such amounts are typically remitted to us by our cruise line or destination resort partners, except for online sales, and are net of commissions they withhold. Although paid by our cruise line partners, customers are typically required to pay with major credit cards, reducing our credit risk to individual customers. Amounts are billed immediately, and our cruise line and destination resort partners typically remit payments to us within 30 days. As of December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, our receivables from contracts with customers were $40.8 million, $33.6 million and $19.5 million, respectively and the increase as of December 31, 2022 when compared to December 31, 2021 reflects the impact of increased revenues due to our ongoing resumption of our spa operations.

 

Costs incurred to enter into new or to renew long-term contracts are capitalized and amortized to cost of revenues over the term of the contract. Deferred contract costs, which relate to fees accrued to cruise line partners, amounted to $2.6 million and $3.2 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is presented within other non-current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of the deferred contract cost was $1.0 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Amortization of deferred costs are included in cost of services in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Our contract liabilities for gift cards and customer loyalty programs are described above.

Disaggregation of Revenue and Segment Reporting

The Company operates facilities on cruise ships and in destination resorts, where we provide health, fitness, beauty and wellness services and sell related products. The Company also sells health and wellness, fitness and beauty related products through its timetospa.com website which is a post-cruise sales tool where guests may continue their wellness journey after disembarking. The

F-29


 

Company’s Maritime and Destination Resorts operating segments are aggregated into a single reportable segment based upon similar economic characteristics, products, services, customers and delivery methods. Additionally, the Company’s operating segments represent components of the Company for which separate financial information is available that is utilized on a regular basis by the chief executive officer, who is the Company’s chief operating decision maker (CODM), in determining how to allocate the Company’s resources and evaluate performance. The following table disaggregates the Company’s revenues by revenue source and operating segment (in thousands):

The difference between the expected provision for income taxes using the 21% U.S. federal income tax rate for 2023, 2022 and 2021, and the Company’s actual provision is primarily attributable to the change in valuation allowance, foreign rate differential including income earned in jurisdictions not subject to income taxes, permanent differences, prior period true up adjustments and reversal of a contingency reserve.

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company accrued zero and $3.9 million, respectively, for uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties that, if recognized, would affect the effective income tax rate. In the third quarter of 2023, the Company filed and application of tax amnesty with the revenue authority. The amnesty application was accepted and the contingency reversed.

The Company classifies interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of provision for income taxes in the consolidated statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, amounted to zero and $2.3 million respectively, and are included in income tax contingency in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company is subject to routine audits by U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax authorities. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. The tax years 2018-2022 remain subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world in major jurisdictions, such as the U.S. and Italy.

13. Commitment and Contingencies

F-32


 

Cruise Line Agreements

A large portion of the Company’s revenues are generated on cruise ships. The Company has entered into agreements of varying terms with the cruise lines under which services and products are paid for by cruise passengers. These agreements provide for the Company to pay the cruise line commissions for use of their shipboard facilities, as well as fees for staff shipboard meals and accommodations. These commissions are based on a percentage of revenue, a minimum annual amount, or a combination of both. Some of the minimum commissions are calculated as a flat dollar amount while others are based upon minimum passenger per diems for passengers actually embarked on each cruise of the respective vessel. Staff shipboard meals and accommodations are charged by the cruise lines on a per staff per day basis. The Company recognizes all expenses related to cruise line commissions, minimum guarantees, and staff shipboard meals and accommodations, generally, as they are incurred and includes such expenses in cost of revenues and operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For cruises in process at period end, an accrual is made to record such expenses in a manner that approximates a pro-rata basis. In addition, staff-related expenses such as shipboard employee commissions are recognized in the same manner.

Pursuant to agreements that provide for minimum commissions, the Company guaranteed total minimum payments to cruise line (excluding payments based on minimum amounts per passenger per day of a cruise applicable to certain ships served by us). Following are the minimum payments guarantee amounts to be paid in the year indicated based on the agreements in effect as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):

The total minimum payment guarantee amounts referenced in the above calculation does not take into account canceled cruise voyages. Such canceled voyages would not be subject to guaranteed minimum payments to the cruise line.

Revenues from passengers of each of the following cruise line companies accounted for more than ten percent of the Company’s total revenues in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively: Carnival (including Carnival, Carnival Australia, Costa, Holland America, P&O, Princess and Seabourn cruise lines): 41.1%, 41.0% and 36.7%; Royal Caribbean (including Royal Caribbean, Pullmantur, Celebrity, Azamara and Silversea cruise lines): 27.9%, 28.0% and 22.8%; and Norwegian Cruise Line (including Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises) 16.4%, 15.6.% and 11.4%.

 

Litigation

We are routinely involved in legal proceedings, disputes, regulatory matters, and various claims and lawsuits that have been filed or are pending against us, including as noted below, arising in the ordinary course of our business. Most of these claims and lawsuits are covered by insurance and, accordingly, the maximum amount of our liability is typically limited to our deductible amount. Nonetheless, the ultimate outcome of those claims and lawsuits that are not covered by insurance cannot be determined at this time. We have evaluated our overall exposure with respect to all of our legal proceedings, threatened and pending litigation and, to the extent required, we have accrued amounts for all estimable probable losses associated with our deemed exposure. We are currently unable to estimate any other potential contingent losses beyond those accrued, as discovery is not complete and adequate information is not available to estimate such range of loss or potential recovery. However, based on our current knowledge, we do not believe that the aggregate amount or range of reasonably possible losses with respect to these matters will be material to our consolidated results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We intend to vigorously defend our legal position on all claims and, to the extent necessary, seek recovery.

In February 2020, the Company received a formal assessment of $1.9 million by a foreign tax authority over how the value added tax (“VAT”) law was applied on the change in the ultimate beneficial ownership of one of our subsidiaries as result of the business combination in March 2019. The Company is disputing the assessment and recorded an accrual of $1.2 million for this matter during the year ended December 31, 2020 and is included in “Accrued expenses” on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company believes the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material adverse impact on the consolidated financial statements.

15. Fair Value Measurements and Derivatives

Fair Value Measurements

Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are comprised of cash and are categorized as Level 1 instruments. The Company maintains cash with various high-quality financial institutions. Restricted cash at December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 is comprised of amounts held in escrow accounts, as a result of a legal proceeding related to a tax assessment and is categorized as a Level 1 instrument. The fair value of outstanding long-term debt as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates for debt issuances with similar remaining years-to-maturity and adjusted for credit risk, which represents a Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy.

Derivatives

Market risk associated with the Company’s long-term floating rate debt is the potential increase in interest expense from an increase in interest rates. The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. These instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value and are designated as hedges. The financial impact of these hedging instruments is primarily offset by corresponding changes in the underlying exposures being hedged.

The Company assesses whether derivatives used in hedging transactions are “highly effective” in offsetting changes in the cash flow of its hedged forecasted transactions. The Company uses regression analysis for this hedge relationship and high effectiveness is achieved when a statistically valid relationship reflects a high degree of offset and correlation between the fair values of the derivative

F-35


 

and the hedged forecasted transaction. Cash flows from the derivatives are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the underlying hedged transaction. These agreements involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts in exchange for fixed-rate interest payments over the life of the respective agreement without an exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company classifies derivative instrument cash flows from hedges of benchmark interest rate as operating activities due to the nature of the hedged item. Gains and losses on derivatives that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying hedged transactions are recognized in earnings. If it is determined that the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, then the amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is released to earnings.

The Company monitors concentrations of credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which the Company conducts significant business. Credit risk, including, but not limited to, counterparty nonperformance under derivatives, is not considered significant, as the Company primarily conducts business with large, well-established financial institutions with which the Company has established relationships, and which have credit risks acceptable to the Company. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by its counterparty. The amount of the Company’s credit risk exposure is equal to the fair value of the derivative when any of the derivatives are in a net gain position.

In September 2019, the Company entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement to make a series of payments based on a fixed interest rate of 1.457% and receive a series of payments based on the greater of 1 Month USD LIBOR or Strike which is used to hedge the Company’s exposure to changes in cash flows associated with its variable rate Term Loan Facilities and has designated this derivative as a cash flow hedge. Both the fixed and floating payment streams are based on a notional amount of $174.7 million at the inception of the contract. In June 2023, the interest rate swap agreement was amended to replace the reference rate from LIBOR to SOFR, to be consistent with the amended First Lien Credit Facilities.

The interest rate swap agreement has a maturity date of September 19, 2024. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the notional amount is $95.4 million and $101.0 million, respectively. There was no ineffectiveness related to the interest rate swaps. The gain or loss on the derivative is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. The Company expects to reclassify $2.4 million of income from accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income into interest expense within the next twelve months.

The fair value of the interest rate swap contract is measured on a recurring basis by netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The interest rate swap contract was categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company is not required to post cash collateral related to this derivative instrument.

The effect of the interest rate swap contract designated as cash flows hedging instrument on the consolidated financial statements was as follows (in thousands):

Nonfinancial Instruments that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the forecasted operating results of two destination resort health and wellness centers caused us to evaluate the carrying value of the affected destination resort health and wellness centers for impairment. One of the forecasted operating results, pertain to the expected closure in 2024 of a resort health and wellness center due to the expected

F-36


 

demolition of the hotel where the health and wellness center is located. We estimated the fair value of the related assets using discounted cash flow analyses and Level 3 valuation inputs including growth rates, a royalty rate and discount rates that reflected the risk profile of the underlying cash flows where the assets are located. Estimations of the growth rates approximated zero or negative percent and the discount rates ranged from 12.5 percent to 13.5 percent. As a result of these non-recurring fair value measurements, we recognized a long-lived asset impairment loss of $2.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2023 which is reported in the long-lived assets impairment line item of the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. See “Note 3” – “Property and Equipment, and “Note 4” – “Intangible Assets” for further detail.

 

16. Profit Sharing Plans
