Explanatory Note
This Form 8-K/A is furnished as an amendment (Amendment No. 1) to the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished by Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. (the "Company") on July 21, 2008 (the “Original Current Report”) to correct certain information contained therein.
The following is provided pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K, “Results of Operations and Financial Condition” and Item 7.01 of Form 8-K, “Regulation FD Disclosure.”
|
|
Item 2.02 |
Results of Operations and Financial Condition. |
|
|
Item 7.01 |
Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On July 21, 2008, the Company issued a press release entitled “Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd. Announces Second Quarter Earnings and Major Cost Savings Initiatives,” which was attached as Exhibit 99.1 to the Original Current Report. The press release included a Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows table, which contained certain inadvertent errors that have been corrected. These corrections had no effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations. Specifically, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, (i) the entry for “(Decrease) increase in accrued expenses and other liabilities” should read “(15,143)” rather than “(47,122)”; (ii) the entry for “Net cash provided by operating activities” should read “761,431” rather than “729,452”; (iii) the entry for “Dividends Paid” should read “(96,017)” rather than “(64,038)” and (iv) the entry for “Net cash provided by financing activities” should read “482,315” rather than “514,294”. A copy of the corrected Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows table is furnished as Exhibit 99.2 to this report.
This information shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd., whether made before or after the filing of this report, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
