Thank you, Alison. Good morning and welcome to OneSpa World's first quarter 2026 earnings conference call. We began the year with continued strong momentum in the first quarter, reporting better than expected top and bottom line results. The period marked our 20th consecutive quarter of record total revenues and adjusted EBITDA, evidencing the strength of our global operations and the disciplined execution of our strategy by our standing team. Our highly trained and motivated staff delivered exceptional experiences for our health and wellness center guests, driven by ongoing innovation in our product and service offerings. The longstanding strength reinforces our leading position in the global operations of health and wellness services at sea. I continue to be very proud of our exceptional team members worldwide for their unwavering commitment and the outstanding performance, which has led to our ongoing strong results. As outlined in our earnings release, based on our first quarter performance and favorable momentum, we currently expect to deliver 10% growth in total revenues and adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter. At the midpoint of our guidance ranges, excluding the results of exited and reorganized operations. Turning to the highlights of the quarter, total revenues increased 13% to $247.6 million, income from operations increased 36% to $22.9 million, net income increased 40% to $21.3 million, and adjusted EBITDA increased 21% to $32.2 million. dollars. At quarter end, we operated health and wellness centers on 208 ships with an average ship count of 202 for the quarter. This compares with a total of 199 ships and an average ship count of 193 ships at the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2025. Also at quarter end, our cruise ship health and wellness centers were staffed with 4,585 personnel compared with 4,240 personnel on vessels on March 31st, 2025. We continue to focus on four key priorities to deliver this growth, delivering meaningful progress on each quarter, on each during the quarter. Let me share some of those highlights. First, we captured highly visible new ship growth with current cruise line partners. During the quarter, we introduced health and wellness centers on two new ship builds, Norwegian Cruise Lines Luna and Disney Adventure, which launched their major voyages in March. These launches reinforce our strong positioning alongside leading global cruise operators and our commitment to elevating and differentiating our health and wellness centers to bring innovative and breakthrough technology to our guests. To this end, on NCL's Luna, we introduced TruFlex, the new non-invasive muscle sculpting medispa service. As mentioned, we remain on track to introduce health and wellness centers on six new shipbuilds this year. Second, we continue to expand high-value service and products. Our higher-value services, including medispa, IV therapy, and acupuncture, continue to enhance onboard productivity and expand our addressable market. To this end, the quarter saw us deliver breakthrough innovation in our Medispa services with a continued rollout of next-generation technology, including Thermaz, Transculpt, CoolSculping, IV therapy, and acupuncture LED light therapy. These new technologies generated strong double-digit growth for those treatments in Q1. We will continue to scale these services across additional ships while introducing new offerings in support of travelers' increasing commitment towards longevity and wellness. Based on the success of TruFlex on NCL's Luna, we plan additional rollouts. During the quarter, we accelerated the rollout of Niagen Plus NAD, boosting intravenous solution across all 90-plus ships offering IV services, following strong initial pilot results. At quarter end, Medispa services were available on 155 ships, up from 148 ships at the end of the first quarter of 2025. We expect to have many spa services on 157 ships by year-end 2026. Third, we focused on enhancing health and wellness center productivity. This is best reflected in the delivery of across-the-board increases in key operating metrics, including revenue per passenger per day, weekly revenue, and revenue per staff per day. Additionally, pre-booked revenues grew 17% and remain a driver of sales productivity with these appointments, continuing to generate 30% more guest spend than services booked on board. Finally, staff retention at 77% improved, increasing 5 percentage points from Q1 of 2025, reflecting the strength of our onboarding engagement and retention initiatives. We're proud of our reputation as an employer of choice and strive to create an environment that fosters retention. These and other onboard employee initiatives have contributed to the improved retention. Importantly, experienced staff generate significantly higher revenue per day versus first staff contract. We continue to invest in developing our future onboard leadership and enhancing training programs, which are key drivers of sales productivity and overall onboard performance. Fourth, we maintained our strong and durable balance sheet and generated robust free cash During the quarter, we returned $5.1 million to shareholders through our quarterly dividend and reduced debt by $1.3 million under our term loan facility. our consistent free cash flow generation continued to support both our capital allocation priorities and investment in future growth. Overall, we remain confident that 2026 will reflect another year for our company as we execute our proven and highly visible growth strategies by our exceptional team. We believe we are well positioned to further establish our leadership as the preeminent global operator of health and wellness services at sea, delivering value for our cruise line partners, elevated experience for our guests, and strong returns for our shareholders. With that, I'll turn the call over to Stephen, who will provide more details on our first quarter results and guidance. Stephen.

Thank you, Leonard. Good morning, everyone. We had an outstanding start to the year with total revenues and adjusted EBITDA increasing 13% and 21% respectively from the 2025 first quarter. We set first quarter records for total revenues and adjusted EBITDA, and our performance included broad-based strength across all key operating and financial metrics, underscoring our unique capabilities in the operations of health and wellness centers at sea and destination resorts on land. In addition, our asset-like business model and ongoing successful growth continue to deliver robust cash flow generation, which we utilize to invest in our future, further strengthen our balance sheet, and return value to shareholders. Of particular note, we continue to accelerate investments by integrating AI technologies into our health and wellness center and shoreside operations, intended to drive incremental revenue, cash flow, and earnings growth. Let me provide an update on these activities, beginning with revenue enhancement. We continue to refine our machine learning algorithmic engine to improve revenue and utilization, which is progressing well and is now available on 190 vessels. In addition, work continues on the implementation of a true dynamic price optimization model that we will start to introduce with pre-booking of services for voyages. We remain confident that adding these AR tools will improve utilization and yields by leveraging advanced recommendations and algorithmic optimization. As it relates to operational efficiency and scalability, we continue to experience early success with our AI assistant, which helps our managers receive and respond immediately to questions. This maritime agent is autonomously resolving 94% of tickets with response times in seconds and has now been deployed on 191 vessels. Our work will continue with upcoming projects that relate to customer-facing chatbots. These will address, for example, guest product and service inquiries and automate certain customer service activities. Finally, automation and streamlining is part of our broad-based efficiency initiative to continue to explore and develop solutions to reduce repetitive work, simplify operation shoreside, and improve scalability at our corporate locations. While early, we continue to be very excited about the work we are doing, which is another example of our commitment to leverage cutting-edge technology to strengthen our market position and deliver value to shareholders. I will now share further details about our first quarter results that we reported earlier this morning. Total revenues increased 13% to $247.6 million compared to $219.6 million for the first quarter of 2025, driven by a 4% increase in revenue days and a 2% increase in average guest spend and by fleet expansion from 2026 new ship builds, contributing $23.1 million, $5 million, and $1.2 million respectively to the increase in total revenues, of which $5.4 million was attributable to increased guest pre-booked services. Growth in our maritime total revenues was offset by a $1.2 million decline in destination resorts total revenue, partially due to the closure of hotels where we had previously operated. Cost of services increased $20.2 million, attributable to the $25 million increase in service revenue compared to the first quarter of 2025. Cost of product increased $2.5 million, attributable to the $2.9 million increase in product revenues compared to the first quarter of 2025. Administrative expenses were $6.2 million compared to $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily due to $1.9 million in third-party fees for certain management and logistic services as a result of our previously announced restructuring, which were previously performed internally by company staff, and as such, the related costs have shifted from salary, benefit, and payroll taxes to administrative expenses. Salary benefit and payroll taxes were $8.4 million compared to $11 million in the first quarter of 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the non-recurrence of $2.5 million in separation related expenses incurred during the first quarter of 2025 associated with the termination of the company's former chief commercial officer. The variance also reflects a reduction in internal personnel costs in the first quarter of 2026, resulting from the transition of certain management and logistic services to third-party providers, as I just noted, partially offset by higher merit and incentive-based compensation. Net income was $21.3 million or net income per diluted share of 21 pennies as compared to net income of $15.3 million or net income per diluted share of 15 pennies for the first quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily attributable to a $6 million improvement in operating income and the non-recurrence of the aforementioned $2.5 million. dollars. Adjusted net income was $28 million or adjusted net income prediluted share of 27 pennies as compared to adjusted net income of $22.6 million or adjusted net income prediluted share of 22 pennies for the first quarter of last year. Adjusted EBITDA was $32.2 million compared to adjusted EBITDA of $26.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. 2025 included $1.1 million of non-recurring cash severance expense. Turning to the balance sheet, we continue to possess a strong balance sheet at quarter end with total cash of $17.3 million after giving effect to paying $5.1 million in quarterly dividends and repaying $1.3 million of our term loan facility. In addition, we had full availability of our $50 million revolving line facility, giving us total liquidity of $67.3 million as of March 31st, 2026. Total debt, net of deferred financing costs, was $82.8 million at quarter end. Also at quarter end, we had $37.5 million remaining on our $75 million share repurchase program adopted in April 2025. We remain focused on disciplined capital allocation supported by our strong cash flow generation and balance sheet flexibility. We will continue to prioritize investing in the business, returning capital to shareholders through our quarterly dividend, opportunistically repurchasing our common shares, and reducing debt while maintaining the flexibility to pursue additional opportunities to enhance shareholder value over time. As it relates to guidance, for the full year 2026, we now expect total revenue in the range of $1.014 billion to $1.034 billion and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $129 to $139 billion. This represents growth of 9% at the midpoint of the guidance ranges for both metrics. Please keep in mind that fiscal 2025 reported total revenues includes $23 million associated with the reorganization of operations in the United Kingdom and Italy and the exit of land-based operations in Asia, all previously announced. For the second quarter of 2026, we are introducing guidance for total revenue in the range of $257 million to $262 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $32.5 million to $34.5 million. This represents growth of 10% at the midpoint of the guidance ranges for both metrics. This guidance reflects our confidence in our ability to deliver sustained momentum and the visibility of our growth pipeline while acknowledging the dynamic environment we find ourselves in. With that, we shall open the call for questions. Robert, if you could please take over. Thank you.

My pleasure. Thank you. At this time, we'll be conducting a question and answer session. If you'd like to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. A confirmation tone will indicate your line is in the question queue. You may press star 2 if you'd like to remove your question from the queue. As a reminder, we ask that you please limit to one question and one follow-up and re-queue if necessary. For participants using speaker equipment, it may be necessary to pick up your handset before pressing the star keys. One moment, please, while we poll for questions. Our first question comes from Randy Connick with Jeffries. Your line is now live.

Hey, thanks, guys. Really appreciate you taking my questions. I guess first I just want to get some perspective on the rise in higher value services that you talked about. I know you've added more MediSpas to more ships over time, but can you give us some perspective on how that penetration has changed, you know let's say high value versus low value or traditional services how that's kind of morphed over the last couple years and and are there any particular high value services that the consumer is choosing and when you look at the penetration today versus maybe where it was a year or two ago ago on a same store basis where could we take high value services from a penetration standpoint as percent of total services uh given um where do you think that goes from here and because i could provide some nice lift in AUR going forward yeah thanks Randy I mean

obviously some good observations there we continue to innovate and stack new services into many spot services which are having and are being very well received and the spend continues to improve across specifically the new technologies, which I mentioned, like the Luna, the Truplex, you know, some of the Thermage, the FLX, and certainly the NAD IVs that we've introduced, all of this is helping to produce better spend in our Medispas. And as you know, we continue to roll out another five or six this year, and we will continue to add some of these higher-end services. So, ostensibly, we've moved away from just offering injectables and fillers to a complete menu of IVs and other aesthetic services, but it still shows that even at the higher price points, some of these new technology-driven services are having a very high impact in terms of demand, and we're very thrilled with it, so we continue to roll out as fast as we can.

Super helpful. Just one last question. You made a leadership addition for the resort spas, I guess, a couple months ago. Maybe give us some perspective on that individual and what your plans are long term for that piece of the business.

Yeah, so we added a new person in resorts to drive business development and strategy. And thus far, only 60 days in, we've seen, you know, a potential pipeline that she's working on, which is very exciting. Hopefully we can convert some of these leads that we have in the pipeline, which is much more than we had before. And so the strategy in bringing her on board was now to take a look, a much harder look, and put much more energy and investment behind finding new opportunities within the U.S. and Caribbean, not the Asian market, which we're winding down. And so we're very excited with the early results and early indications of some of the leads that she's brought to the business. And I think that's going to be a decent driver. We saw resorts certainly perform better in the first quarter versus Q1 of 2025. So, yeah, all around very encouraged by the early results since she joined.

Super helpful.

Our next question comes from Steve Wyszynski with Stiefel. Your line is now live.

Hey, guys. So, Leonard, I want to ask about the improvement in productivity, especially around that revenue per staff per day. I'm wondering if you can give a little bit more detail as to what are some of the things that are actually driving that metric right now and maybe help us think about how much more upside do you think you can kind of extract from a productivity perspective moving forward?

Yeah, Steve, look, I certainly think, you know, some of the newer ships that we introduced last year, plus similar ships in the fleet, with these incredible spas, many spa facilities, thermal suites, are all helping to drive that additional revenue for passenger per day, as well as the average revenue spend from guests. So it seems that all the innovation is taking well, and we pilot these, obviously, to make sure they do. So I think it shows that even at the high end of the range of some of these MediSpa service, acupuncture, red light therapy, we continue to see high demand. So it's a healthy increase, 6% productivity increase. We're thrilled with that, but I think a large part of it is the bigger spas, larger spas, and certainly our innovation platform continues to drive additional spend.

Okay, gotcha. And then I want to ask about guidance, probably more so for the back half of the year. And, you know, guess what we started to see at this point is some softness. And I think the cruise lines would say this, your cruise partners would say this as well, in terms of some softness in that North American to Europe, you know, demand and a slight uptick in cancellations, again, from that North American to Europe guess. So wondering if you guys have contemplated any slowdown in that European demand in the back half of the year or in your guidance, or it's something you're just not overly concerned with at this point.

We're certainly cognizant of the geopolitical backdrop, which is certainly not improving. And I'm sure concerns have caused some people perhaps to cancel or hold off until they book versus last year. So I think, you know, we certainly hearing from the cruise lines, and I'm sure you are as well, that there have been cancellations, which is understandable. But I don't know. It seems like, you know, it can still continue to book through the end of May or June. We'll see. I mean, maybe then maybe the geopolitical situation changes. But, you know, we've thought about this and included it as part of the guidance in the back off. So it's not that we didn't consider that there could be some potential drop-off in demand, but our guidance includes that.

Okay, gotcha.

Steve, obviously bear in mind, as you're very well aware, generally we're servicing about 11% of the guests on board, and so that provides us with a layer of insulation against some of that softness should it occur on the one hand. And then on the other hand, the reality is we've seen over time that no matter what happens in the world, the cruise lines are excellent marketers and they fill their ships to capacity day in and day out. So while we are aware of it and we've taken it into account, I think we'll get through it.

Appreciate it.

Our next question comes from Max Recklenchel with TD Cowan.

Please proceed with your question. hey guys uh thanks a lot congrats on a really nice quarter so i just want to touch on first the call out in seemingly uh improving pre-booking revenues so what was the unlock in the quarter and what does it inform you of where it can go over the medium term and then if you can tie just comments on ai as i know that that's something that you're working on for pre-booking as well.

Yeah, so pre-booking services that I mentioned were up 17%. The reason it's kind of flattish at the 22% is fundamentally just because we don't include some of the services in med spa acupuncture in there, which we're starting to consider whether we can include some of that in the pre-booking menu, and we probably will move to that as we start to move towards a more dynamic pricing, AI-driven, you know, discount dynamic model over time, which Stephen mentioned earlier on. So, you know, that's certainly helping drive that additional spend because it's up so much more than it was last year, but it's still flat, which means the rest of the business continues to grow nicely as well.

And Max, by way of clarification, the AI initiative specifically as it relates to dynamic pricing on pre-booking is not yet in play. So anything that you're seeing thus far is not influenced by that.

Right. Yes, that's helpful. I was just going to ask, so you guys touched on looking to do, you know, seemingly more in wellness and longevity. Obviously, that's a key theme across a number of verticals. So, just curious, what do you see as the top opportunities? And I know that we've long discussed potentially getting in some services where, you know, a customer starts something on the ship and then they potentially continue using it once their vacation ends. So, you know, just curious if you could touch on both of those topics and what we can see ahead.

Yeah, we remain very focused on the longevity and health and wellness vertical of our business, which is included right now in MediSpa. I think there are things that, you know, we're working on, trying, seeing and testing to see if, in fact, we can layer it in. If and when we do, we'll tell you about it. But certainly a lot of things and opportunities that we're looking at with respect to engaging with the passenger on board through seminars, et cetera, on the longevity side, and then continuing with certain therapies, supplementation, et cetera, post-cruise. I think that's certainly the direction we will go in. We're just sorting through what the right opportunity is and the right vehicle to do it in. It does not mean we need to do M&A to do that. We can do it through a joint venture or a partnership. So those are the things that we're looking at right now, but we're just not ready to execute or pull the trigger on any one of them that we're considering. But I can tell you it's very exciting.

That's great. Thanks a lot and best regards, guys.

Our next question comes from Gregory Miller with Truist Securities. Your line is now live.

Thank you. I'd like to ask a couple questions as it relates to the geographies of where your ships are located this year. And to start off with 1Q, there is a greater concentration with Caribbean routes. And I'm curious, how impactful was a higher concentration of Caribbean itineraries to your 1Q performance?

Yes, so we love Caribbean performance.

It's the best for us. north american passengers definitely um the best spenders on a global basis so concentration as we've mentioned before in the caribbean is not a negative for us now how that impacts obviously the different cruise line banners is different to us but we certainly love being in the caribbean because it gives us the seven day program model which is the most effective for us okay thanks Shifting region.

Stephen, did you want to say something?

No, go ahead.

Shifting to Europe. I'm curious. I'm not sure if this has been discussed in prior earnings calls, but when I think about what's going on in the Middle East today and if there are cruise passengers that might shift from, say, an Eastern Med itinerary to a Western Med or Northern Med, or Northern Europe, is there any material difference in terms of the quality of earnings from, say, Eastern Mediterranean itineraries versus Western or Northern Europe?

The short answer is there's no difference to us.

Okay. That's all for me. Thank you.

As a reminder, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star 1 on your telephone keypad. One moment, please, while we hold for questions. Our next question comes from Esia Georgiva with Infinity Research. Your line is now live.

Good morning, guys. Congratulations on a fantastic quarter. Just to kind of follow up on that up 17% pre-booked, do you expect that to, again, be up in Q2 and possibly, you know, in Q3 you have Legend of the Seas coming in, So I imagine your ships may create more excitement. They may attract people who are more experienced and willing to pay the premium for a new ship and therefore kind of help the mix. Do you think that would be part of the plan?

I'll say, yeah, it's definitely the strategy.

And we continue to focus through every business quarterly review that we do with our banners on the opportunities within pre-booking, improving the journey for the guest as they come onto the site. I think together with the fact that once we've developed the AI dynamic component of this, it will also help us from a yield perspective. But our real focus is obviously in getting the cruise lines as focused and providing the resources possible to help us with this. But it's improving. So they get it. It's just a question of resource allocation.

So we can't expect a continuation of the year-on-year growth in sort of the mid-teens. That would be a reasonable modeling assessment.

You know, I'm not sure whether it continues at this clip. Obviously, you know, if it stayed at the same kind of double-digit rate that it's improving, certainly over the last three quarters, we'd be very, very happy with that.

Okay, thank you. I think that's fair enough. And sort of a related question, as you probably know, we track about 40,000 voyages, you know, every week. And what we noticed is in week three, so March 20th or so, a significant price cut for Royal Caribbean International, to some extent celebrity for European voyages for Q2. And, of course, one concern is that as the quality of passenger comes down, despite this being North American passengers in Europe, that it may impact you somewhat. Have you seen any of that during the month of April? I just wondered if this, and it seems to be very much a Q2 phenomenon. Q3 seems much better. So I just wondered if you saw any of that.

Yeah, no, we've certainly read the same headlines and sort of the analyst reports on what's going on with Europe's second quarter. We have not, the ships, a lot of the ships have started to reposition to Alaska and Europe at this point. And the early indications are is that we're certainly using every marketing tool necessary when necessary. If not necessary, we're not going to discount any more than we need to. And so we're monitoring it very closely, but thus far we've seen no impact of a lower passenger perhaps not going to Europe. But then again, as we mentioned, we focus on the best 11% every single week, weekend and week out to produce the results that we do. So I think we're going to be fine.

Fair enough. And last question, again, kind of a follow-up to Europe. one of your banners is moving away from the longer 10, 11, 14 night itineraries and you just mentioned the sweet spot of seven nights, especially in the Caribbean. Should that help somewhat or is Europe a different animal given how port-rich the itineraries are or is it still marginally helpful, I wonder?

Marginally helpful. I mean, anything that's seven days is the best sweet spot because a lot of the years and certainly the data suggests that the spend doesn't improve on a longer cruise. It's just the same wallet spread out over more days. So we love seven-day cruising.

Okay, good. We have them this year. Thank you so much. I appreciate it.

Of course. Thanks, Asha.

We have reached the end of the question and answer session. I'd now like to turn the call back over to Leonard Fluxman for closing comments.

Thank you again for joining us today. We look forward to speaking with many of you at upcoming investor conferences and when we report our second quarter results in July. Thank you for joining us today.

This concludes today's conference. You may disconnect your lines at this time, and we thank you for your participation.
