*Starting in Q1 2023 we have disclosed and reconciled Gross Margin Yields and Net Yields, as defined in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months eneded March 31, 2023. We utililze these financial metrics to measure relevant rate comparisons to the corresponding periods in 2019, which is the last year of normalized operations, given our 2022 and 2021 reduction in capacity and revenues, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations.
