RCL · XBRL financial data

Royal Caribbean Cruises financial statements, every fiscal year

The same tables from 6 filings, lined up. Matched by XBRL tag: renamed lines keep their history.

How these numbers work
  • Every number comes from the company's XBRL financial data filed with the SEC, and each one links to its filing.
  • Lines are matched by XBRL tag, so a line renamed between filings keeps its history.
  • * marks a quarter worked out from the filing totals: the 10-K year minus the first three quarters, or a year-to-date total minus the earlier one. Fourth-quarter earnings per share is fourth-quarter net income over the fourth-quarter weighted shares.
  • 0 means a filing states zero; a dash (—) means no filing states that number.
  • “year only” means the 10-K gives the full year but not the quarters needed to work out the fourth. A worked-out quarter of revenue, cost of revenue or operating cash flow more than twice the company's largest quarter of the two years before is shown this way too.
  • Gross profit is shown as the company reports it; a worked-out quarter must equal revenue less cost of revenue for that quarter, or it is a dash.
  • Operating income can be above gross profit when the company books other operating income between the two, shown on its own line.
  • Shares outstanding come from each filing's cover page, as of the date printed there.
  • Quarters are fiscal: Q2 FY27 is the second quarter of the company's fiscal 2027.

Compare with peers

SIC 4400 and related industry codes, similar size; rows marked “added: same SIC” fill a short list. Each row is the latest quarter reported.

How peers are chosen
  • SIC 4400 and related industry codes with public float (or, where float is missing, quarterly revenue) between 0.2x and 5x the company's.
  • Each row is the latest quarter the company has reported, named in the Quarter column; when that filing is a 10-K, it is the fourth quarter, never the full year.
  • Fewer than three companies fall in that range, so the list adds same-SIC (4400) companies nearest in public float, each marked “added: same SIC”.
  • Runway shows only for companies burning cash with under $10B of public float.
  • * marks a quarter worked out from the filing totals: for a 10-Q, the year-to-date total less the earlier one.
