Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings reported a rise in revenue in the first quarter, but expenses related to its initial public offering put the cruise operator at a loss for quarterly profits.

The Miami-based cruise line reported a loss of $96.4 million in the first quarter, down from net income of $3.3 million in the same period last year. The company reported revenue of $527.6 million, up from last year’s $515.4 million.


Excluding $110.4 million in expenses related to the debt prepayments from the company’s IPO in January, Norwegian would have reported net income of $12.9 million, the company said.

Norwegian (NASDAQ: NCLH) closed its IPO of 27.1 million shares at $19 each to bring in about $477.6 million, which the company intended to use to pay down some of its $3.1 billion debt on several of its ships.
