Havila Kystruten AS: Trading Update for March 2025

In March 2025, Havila Kystruten achieved an occupancy of 70%, with the season steadily building up towards the summer. Increasing ticket revenue by almost 20% vs. last year driven by an Average Cabin Revenue (ACR) increase of close to 40%*.

The first quarter last year was characterized by high occupancy at lower prices, with significant amount of rebooked business from “sail start” delays in 2022 and 2023. In 2024 the first quarter occupancy ended at 66% whilst this year’s occupancy for the quarter was 61%, however an almost 40% increase in ACR yielded a total of close to 25% increase in ticket revenue for the quarter.

Currently 57% of the available capacity for 2025 is booked, equal to about 75% of the total targeted cabin nights for the year. With a more balanced booking distribution, both in terms of groups vs. individual travellers and distribution along the full route. And close to 25% higher ACR for the year in full vs. last year. We are well positioned to achieve our full year 2025 targets as we are nearing the high season.

For 2026, 19% of the available capacity is booked with almost 20% higher ACR than at the same time last year. Further supporting a continued ramp up in topline growth and EBITDA margin improvement in 2026 vs. 2025.

Consequently, there may be variations or minor discrepancies in absolute figures and periodization compared to the reported financial statements. Revenue in currency (for ACR) is based on the booking system currency rate.
