AI Insight: LIND Ratio Trends
Lindblad's Q3 seasonality drives profitability, but Q1 2026 shows meaningful year-over-year improvement across all key margins.
• Operating margin in Q1 2026 rose to 7.5% from 5.9% in Q1 2025, marking a 160bp year-over-year improvement in the seasonally softer quarter.
• Net profit margin turned decisively positive at 3.1% in Q1 2026, versus 0.7% in Q1 2025 and deep losses in Q2 and Q4 quarters.
• ROIC in Q3 2025 expanded to 35.4% from 29.7% in Q3 2024, reflecting improving capital efficiency in the peak season quarter.
• Business remains highly seasonal: Q2 and Q4 consistently post negative operating margins (-6.0%, -5.1%, -3.0% in recent periods).
⚠ Q4 2025 operating margin of -3.0% and ROA of -9.6% confirm deep off-season losses persist, limiting full-year profitability.
⚠ Q2 2025 operating margin of 2.6% lagged Q2 2024's -6.0% comparison but remains thin — watch whether Q2 2026 sustains improvement.
⚠ ROE data is unavailable across all periods, limiting assessment of shareholder return on equity and balance sheet leverage dynamics.
