Higher-than-expected fuel prices pushed Carnival Corp.'s first-quarter profit down 13 percent, but the cruise operator managed to meet Wall Street's earnings expectations thanks to cutting other costs.
But Carnival shares fell 4 percent in midday trading Tuesday as the company behind the Holland America Line, Princess Cruises, Carnival Cruise Lines and Costa Cruises brands reduced its full-year earnings guidance to a range below analysts' expectations.
For the period ended Feb. 28, Carnival reported net income of $152 million, or 19 cents per share, down from $175 million, or 22 cents per share, a year ago.
Wall Street was already anticipating the results, as the Miami company had provided its quarterly expectations earlier this month.
Carnival said its performance benefited from lower than-expected costs that helped offset fuel prices that rose 9 percent. The prior-year period included an unusual benefit of 10 cents per share.
Revenue climbed 8 percent to $3.42 billion from $3.18 billion on higher ticket prices and passengers spending more on board its ships. Analysts expected revenue of $3.28 billion.

"Growing unrest in the Middle East has had a dramatic effect on the price of oil. Libya, which has the largest oil reserves in Africa, has had a huge impact on the price of crude oil, which recently reached $100 per barrel. Consequently, the price of gasoline (petrol) has skyrocketed to $3.20 per gallon in the US. While, in the UK, the average price of unleaded fuel has reached £1.33 per liter (approximately $9.77 per gallon)".
