CARNIVAL CORPORATION & PLC

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - General

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc and their respective subsidiaries. Together with their consolidated subsidiaries, they are referred to collectively in these consolidated financial statements and elsewhere in this joint Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q as "Carnival Corporation & plc," "our," "us" and "we."

Liquidity and Management's Plans

In the face of the global impact of COVID-19, we paused our guest cruise operations in mid-March 2020. As of May 31, 2021, five of our ships were operating with guests onboard. Eight of our nine brands either have resumed or are announced to resume guest operations by November 30, 2021, as part of our phased return to service. Significant events affecting travel, including COVID-19 and our phased resumption of guest cruise operations, have had and continue to have an impact on booking patterns. The full extent of the impact will be determined by our phased return to service and the length of time COVID-19 influences travel decisions. We believe that the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on our operations and global bookings have had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on our financial results and liquidity.

The estimation of our future liquidity requirements includes numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The principal assumptions used to estimate our future liquidity requirements consist of:

• Expected continued phased resumption of guest cruise operations

• Expected lower than comparable historica l occupancy levels during the resumption of guest cruise operations

• Expected incremental spend for the resumption of guest cruise operations, for bringing our ships out of pause status, returning crew members to our ships and implementing enhanced health and safety protocols

In addition, we make certain assumptions about new ship deliveries, improvements and disposals, and consider the future export credit financings that are associated with the ship deliveries.

We cannot make assurances that our assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements may not change because we have never previously experienced a complete cessation of our guest cruise operations, and as a consequence, our ability to be predictive is uncertain. In addition, the magnitude and duration of the global pandemic are uncertain. We have made reasonable estimates and judgments of the impact of COVID-19 within our consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. We continue to expect a net loss on both a U.S. GAAP and adjusted basis for the third quarter of 2021 and the full year ending November 30, 2021. We have taken actions to improve our liquidity, including completing various capital market transactions, capital expenditure and operating expense reductions, accelerating the removal of certain ships from our fleet and expect to continue to pursue refinancing opportunities to reduce interest expense and extend maturities.

Based on these actions and our assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, and considering our $9.3 billion of cash and short-term investments at May 31, 2021, we have concluded that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations for at least the next twelve months.

Basis of Presentation

The Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss), the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and the Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for the three and six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, and the Consolidated Balance Sheet at May 31, 2021 are unaudited and, in the opinion of our management, contain all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement. Our interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Carnival Corporation & plc 2020 joint Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 26, 2021.

COVID-19 and the Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainty

The preparation of our interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. The full extent to which the effects of COVID-19 will directly or indirectly impact our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition, including our valuation of goodwill and trademarks, impairment of ships, collectability of trade and notes receivables as well as provisions for pending litigation, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain. We have made reasonable estimates and judgments of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.

Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options and Derivative and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments. This guidance eliminates certain models that require separate accounting for embedded conversion features, in certain cases. Additionally, among other changes, the guidance eliminates certain of the conditions for equity classification for contracts in an entity's own equity. The guidance also requires entities to use the if-converted method for all convertible instruments in the diluted earnings per share calculation and include the effect of share settlement for instruments that may be settled in cash or shares, except for certain liability-classified share-based payment awards. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2023 and must be applied using either a modified or full retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - Revenue and Expense Recognition

Guest cruise deposits are initially included in customer deposit liabilities when received. Customer deposits are subsequently recognized as cruise revenues, together with revenues from onboard and other activities, and all associated direct costs and expenses of a voyage are recognized as cruise costs and expenses, upon completion of voyages with durations of ten nights or less and on a pro rata basis for voyages in excess of ten nights. The impact of recognizing these shorter duration cruise revenues and costs and expenses on a completed voyage basis versus on a pro rata basis is not material. Certain of our product offerings are bundled and we allocate the value of the bundled services and goods between passenger ticket revenues and onboard and other revenues based upon the estimated standalone selling prices of those goods and services. Guest cancellation fees, when applicable, are recognized in passenger ticket revenues at the time of cancellation.

Our sales to guests of air and other transportation to and from airports near the home ports of our ships are included in passenger ticket revenues, and the related costs of purchasing these services are included in transportation costs. The proceeds that we collect from the sales of third-party shore excursions are included in onboard and other revenues and the related costs are included in onboard and other costs. The amounts collected on behalf of our onboard concessionaires, net of the amounts remitted to them, are included in onboard and other revenues as concession revenues. All of these amounts are recognized on a completed voyage or pro rata basis as discussed above.

Passenger ticket revenues include fees, taxes and charges collected by us from our guests. A portion of these fees, taxes and charges vary with guest head counts and are directly imposed on a revenue-producing arrangement. This portion of the fees, taxes and charges is expensed in commissions, transportation and other costs when the corresponding revenues are recognized. For the three and six months ended May 31, fees, taxes, and charges included in commissions, transportation and other costs were not significant in 2021 and were $41 million and $215 million in 2020. The remaining portion of fees, taxes and charges are expensed in other operating expenses when the corresponding revenues are recognized.

Revenues and expenses from our hotel and transportation operations, which are included in our Tour and Other segment, are recognized at the time the services are performed. Revenues from the long-term leasing of ships, which are also included in our Tour and Other segment, are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.

Customer Deposits

Our payment terms generally require an initial deposit to confirm a reservation, with the balance due prior to the voyage. Cash received from guests in advance of the cruise is recorded in customer deposits and in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts include refundable deposits. We are providing flexibility to guests with bookings on sailings cancelled due to the pause in cruise operations by allowing guests to receive enhanced future cruise credits ("FCC") or elect to receive refunds in cash. We have paid and expect to continue to pay cash refunds of customer deposits with respect to a portion of these cancelled cruises. The amount of cash refunds to be paid may depend on the level of guest acceptance of FCCs and future cruise cancellations. We record a liability for FCCs to the extent we have received cash from guests with bookings on cancelled sailings. We had customer deposits of $2.5 billion as of May 31, 2021 and $2.2 billion as of November 30, 2020. As of May 31, 2021, the current portion of customer deposits was $2.0 billion. This amount includes deposits related to cancelled cruises prior to the election of a cash refund by guests. Refunds payable to guests who have elected cash refunds are recorded in accounts payable. Due to the uncertainty associated with the duration and extent of COVID-19, we are unable to estimate the amount of the May 31, 2021 customer deposits that will be recognized in earnings compared to amounts that will be refunded to customers or issued as a credit for future travel. During the six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenues of an immaterial amount and $3.5 billion, respectively, related to our customer deposits as of November 30, 2020 and 2019. Historically, our customer deposits balance changes due to the seasonal nature of cash collections, the recognition of revenue, refund of customer deposits and foreign currency translation.

Contract Receivables

Although we generally require full payment from our customers prior to or concurrently with their cruise, we grant credit terms to a relatively small portion of our revenue source. We also have receivables from credit card merchants for cruise ticket purchases and onboard revenue. These receivables are included within trade and other receivables, net.

Contract Assets

Contract assets are amounts paid prior to the start of a voyage, which we record as an asset within prepaid expenses and other and which are subsequently recognized as commissions, transportation and other at the time of revenue recognition or at the time of voyage cancellation. We have contract assets of an immaterial amount as of May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020.

NOTE 3 - Debt

Export Credit Facility Borrowings

In December 2020, we borrowed $1.5 billion under export credit facilities due in semi-annual installments through 2033.

2027 Senior Unsecured Notes

In February 2021, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion senior unsecured notes that mature on March 1, 2027 (the "2027 Senior Unsecured Notes"). The 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.8% per year. The 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by Carnival plc and the same subsidiaries of Carnival Corporation & plc that guarantee the 2023 Secured Notes, 2026 Secured Notes, 2027 Senior Secured Notes and 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes, and are unsecured. The indenture governing the 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes contains covenants that are substantially similar to the covenants in the indentures governing the 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes and, except for the unsecured nature of the 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes, the indentures governing the 2023 Secured Notes, 2026 Secured Notes and 2027 Secured Notes and the credit agreement governing the 2025 Secured Term Loan. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.

Covenant Compliance

Our export credit facilities contain one or more covenants that require us to:

• Maintain minimum interest coverage (EBITDA to consolidated net interest charges for the most recently ended four fiscal quarters) (the "Interest Coverage Covenant") of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal quarter

• Maintain minimum shareholders' equity of $5.0 billion

• Limit our debt to capital percentage (the "Debt to Capital Covenant") to 65% at the end of each fiscal quarter

• Limit the amounts of our secured assets as well as secured and other indebtedness

We entered into supplemental agreements to waive compliance with the Interest Coverage Covenant and the Debt to Capital Covenant under our export credit facilities through August 31, 2022 or November 30, 2022, as applicable. We will be required to comply beginning with the next testing date of November 30, 2022 or February 28, 2023, as applicable.

During the first quarter of 2021 we entered into supplemental agreements with respect to our $3.1 billion ($1.7 billion, €1.0 billion and £150 million) multi-currency revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and many of our bank loans. These agreements now contain one or more covenants that require us to:

• Maintain the Interest Coverage Covenant at the end of each fiscal quarter from February 28, 2023, at a ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2023 testing dates, 2.5 to 1.0 for the August 31, 2023 and November 30, 2023 testing dates, and 3.0 to 1.0 for the February 28, 2024 testing date onwards, or through their respective maturity dates.

• Maintain minimum shareholders' equity of $5.0 billion.

• Maintain the Debt to Capital Covenant at the end of each fiscal quarter before the November 30, 2021 testing date at a percentage not to exceed 65%. From the November 30, 2021 testing date until the May 31, 2023 testing date, the Debt to Capital Covenant is not to exceed 75%, following which it will be tested at levels which decline ratably to 65% from the May 31, 2024 testing date onwards.

• Maintain minimum liquidity of $1.0 billion through November 30, 2022.

• Adhere to certain restrictive covenants through November 30, 2024.

• Restrict the granting of guarantees and security interests for certain of our outstanding debt through November 30, 2024.

At May 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants under our debt agreements.

Generally, if an event of default under any debt agreement occurs, then, pursuant to cross default acceleration clauses, substantially all of our outstanding debt and derivative contract payables could become due, and all debt and derivative contracts could be terminated. Any financial covenant amendment may lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other available lender protections that would be applicable.

As of May 31, 2021, the scheduled maturities of our debt are as follows:

(in millions)
Year	Principal Payments
2021 3Q	$	259
2021 4Q	328

2025	3,994
Thereafter	13,168
Total	$	31,475

(a) Includes the $3.1 billion Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility was fully drawn in 2020 for six month terms. The maturities for these borrowings are currently extended through September 2021. We may re-borrow such amounts through August 2024 subject to satisfaction of the conditions in the facility. The Revolving Credit Facility also includes an emissions linked margin adjustment whereby, after the initial applicable margin is set per the margin pricing grid, the margin may be adjusted based on performance in achieving certain agreed annual carbon emissions goals. We are required to pay a commitment fee on any undrawn portion.

NOTE 4 - Contingencies and Commitments

Litigation

We are routinely involved in legal proceedings, claims, disputes, regulatory matters and governmental inspections or investigations arising in the ordinary course of or incidental to our business, including those noted below. Additionally, as a result of the impact of COVID-19, litigation claims, enforcement actions, regulatory actions and investigations, including, but not limited to, those arising from personal injury and loss of life, have been and may, in the future, be asserted against us. We expect many of these claims and actions, or any settlement of these claims and actions, to be covered by insurance and historically the maximum amount of our liability, net of any insurance recoverables, has been limited to our self-insurance retention levels.

We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Legal proceedings and government investigations are subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings or other events could occur. Unfavorable resolutions could involve substantial monetary damages. In addition, in matters for which conduct remedies are sought, unfavorable resolutions could include an injunction or other order prohibiting us from selling one or more products at all or in particular ways, precluding particular business practices or requiring other remedies. An unfavorable outcome might result in a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

As previously disclosed, on May 2, 2019, two lawsuits were filed against Carnival Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida under Title III of the Cuban Liberty and Democratic Solidarity Act, also known as the Helms-Burton Act, alleging that Carnival "trafficked" in confiscated Cuban property when certain ships docked at certain ports in Cuba, and that this alleged "trafficking" entitles the plaintiffs to treble damages (the "Cuba matters"). On July 9, 2020, the court granted our motion for judgment on the pleadings in the Cuba matter filed by Javier Garcia Bengochea, and dismissed the plaintiff's action with prejudice. On August 6, 2020, Bengochea filed a notice of appeal. On January 21, 2021, the court continued the trial date in the second Cuba matter to January 31, 2022. We continue to believe we have a meritorious defense to these actions and we believe that any liability which may arise as a result of these actions will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Contingent Obligations - Indemnifications

Some of the debt contracts we enter into include indemnification provisions obligating us to make payments to the counterparty if certain events occur. These contingencies generally relate to changes in taxes or changes in laws which increase the lender's costs. There are no stated or notional amounts included in the indemnification clauses, and we are not able to estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments, if any, under these indemnification clauses.

Other Contingencies

We have agreements with a number of credit card processors that transact customer deposits related to our cruise vacations. Certain of these agreements allow the credit card processors to request under certain circumstances that we provide a reserve fund in cash. Although the agreements vary, these requirements may generally be satisfied either through a withheld percentage of customer payments or providing cash funds directly to the credit card processor. As of May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, we had $939 million and $423 million, respectively, in reserve funds relating to our customer deposits to satisfy these requirements which are included within other assets. We expect a portion of new customer deposits to be withheld under these agreements. Additionally, as of May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020 we had $166 million of cash collateral in escrow, of which $136 million is included within prepaid expenses and other.

We have and may continue to be impacted by breaches in data security and lapses in data privacy, which occur from time to time. These can vary in scope and intent from inadvertent events to malicious motivated attacks.

We detected ransomware attacks in August 2020 and December 2020 which resulted in unauthorized access to our information technology systems. We engaged a major cybersecurity firm to investigate these matters and notified law enforcement and regulators of these incidents. For the August 2020 event, the investigation phase is complete, as are the communication and reporting phases. We determined that the unauthorized third-party gained access to certain personal information relating to some guests, employees and crew for some of our operations. For the December 2020 event, the investigation and remediation phases are in process and regulators have been notified.

We have been contacted by various regulatory agencies regarding these and other cyber incidents. The New York Department of Financial Services ("NY DFS") has notified us of their intent to commence proceedings seeking penalties if settlement cannot be reached in advance of litigation. To date, we have not been able to reach an agreement with NY DFS. In addition, State Attorneys General from a number of states are currently investigating a data security event announced in March 2020 and have indicated an intent to seek a negotiated settlement.

We continue to work with regulators regarding cyber incidents we have experienced. We have incurred legal and other costs in connection with cyber incidents that have impacted us. While at this time we do not believe that these incidents will have a material adverse effect on our business, operations or financial results, no assurances can be given about the future and we may be subject to future litigation, attacks or incidents that could have such a material adverse effect.

COVID-19 Actions

Private Actions

We have been named in a number of individual actions related to COVID-19. Private parties have brought approximately 72 lawsuits as of June 21, 2021 in several U.S. federal and state courts as well as in France, Italy and Brazil. These actions include tort claims based on a variety of theories, including negligence and failure to warn. The plaintiffs in these actions allege a variety of injuries: some plaintiffs confined their claim to emotional distress, while others allege injuries arising from testing positive for COVID-19. A smaller number of actions include wrongful death claims.

Additionally, as of June 21, 2021, ten purported class actions have been brought by former guests from Ruby Princess, Diamond Princess, Grand Princess, Coral Princess, Costa Luminosa or Zaandam in several U.S. federal courts and in the Federal Court of Australia. These actions include tort claims based on a variety of theories, including negligence, gross negligence and failure to warn, physical injuries and severe emotional distress associated with being exposed to and/or contracting COVID-19 onboard.

All COVID-19 actions seek monetary damages and most seek additional punitive damages in unspecified amounts.

As previously disclosed, a consolidated class action complaint with new lead plaintiffs, the New England Carpenters Pension and Guaranteed Annuity Fund and the Massachusetts Laborers' Pension and Annuity Fund, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on December 15, 2020 on behalf of all purchasers of Carnival Corporation common stock and/or Carnival plc American Depositary Shares, and sellers of put options and purchasers of call options on those securities, between September 16, 2019 and March 31, 2020, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. On May 28, 2021, the court dismissed the complaint without prejudice. Plaintiff's current deadline to file a second amended complaint is July 2, 2021.

We continue to take proper actions to defend against the above claims.

Governmental Inquiries and Investigations

Federal and non-U.S. governmental agencies and officials are investigating or otherwise seeking information, testimony and/or documents, regarding COVID-19 incidents and related matters. We are investigating these matters internally and are cooperating with all requests. The investigations could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties in the future.

Ship Commitments

As of May 31, 2021, we expect the timing of our new ship growth capital commitments to be as follows:

NOTE 5 - Fair Value Measurements, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Financial Risks

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the amount that would be received for selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and is measured using inputs in one of the following three categories:

(a) Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

(b) Level 2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities.

(c) Level 3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Considerable judgment may be required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, certain estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current or future market exchange.

(a) Long-term other assets are comprised of notes receivable. The fair values of our Level 2 notes receivable were based on estimated future cash flows discounted at appropriate market interest rates. The fair values of our Level 3 notes receivable were estimated using risk-adjusted discount rates.

(b) The debt amounts above do not include the impact of interest rate swaps or debt issuance costs. The fair values of our publicly-traded notes were based on their unadjusted quoted market prices in markets that are not sufficiently active to be Level 1 and, accordingly, are considered Level 2. The fair values of our other debt were estimated based on current market interest rates being applied to this debt.

Nonfinancial Instruments that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

Valuation of Goodwill and Trademarks

As a result of the phased resumption of guest cruise operations and its effect on our expected future operating cash flows, we performed interim discounted cash flow analyses for certain reporting units with goodwill as of May 31, 2021, and determined there was no impairment. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2020, we recognized goodwill impairment charges of $1.4 billion and $2.1 billion, respectively. We also performed trademark impairment reviews and determined there was no impairment to our trademarks.

The determination of the fair value of our reporting units' goodwill and trademarks includes numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The effect of COVID-19 and the phased resumption have created some uncertainty in forecasting the operating results and future cash flows used in our impairment analyses. We believe that we have made reasonable estimates and judgments. A change in the conditions, circumstances or strategy (including decisions about the allocation of new ships amongst brands and the transfer of ships between brands), which influence determinations of fair value, may result in a need to recognize an additional impairment charge. The principal assumptions, all of which are considered Level 3 inputs, used in our cash flow analyses consisted of:

• The timing of our return to service, changes in market conditions and port or other restrictions

• Forecasted revenues net of our most significant variable costs, which are travel agent commissions, costs of air and other transportation, and certain other costs that are directly associated with onboard and other revenues including credit and debit card fees

• The allocation of new ships and the timing of the transfer or sale of ships amongst brands, as well as the estimated proceeds from ship sales

• Weighted-average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for the risk attributable to the geographic regions in which these cruise brands operate

Impairment of Ships

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate potential impairment. As a result of the effect of COVID-19 on our business, we determined that one ship, which we expect to dispose of, had a net carrying value that exceeded its estimated undiscounted future cash flows as of May 31, 2021. We determined the fair value of this ship based on its estimated selling value. We believe that we have made reasonable estimates and judgments. A change in the principal assumptions, which influences the determination of fair value, may result in a need to perform additional impairment reviews. The principal assumptions, all of which are considered Level 3 inputs, used in our 2020 cash flow analyses consisted of:

• Timing of the respective ship's return to service, changes in market conditions and port or other restrictions

• Forecasted ship revenues net of our most significant variable costs, which are travel agent commissions, costs of air and other transportation and certain other costs that are directly associated with onboard and other revenues, including credit and debit card fees

• Timing of the sale of ships and estimated proceeds

We recognized a ship impairment charge of $49 million in our EA segment for both the three and six months ended May 31, 2021. For the three months ended May 31, 2020, we recognized $348 million and $150 million of ship impairment charges in our NAA and EA segments respectively, and $520 million and $308 million of ship impairment charges in our NAA and EA segments, respectively for the six months ended May 31, 2020. These impairments are included in other operating expenses of our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

At May 31, 2021, these interest rate swaps settle through 2025.

Our derivative contracts include rights of offset with our counterparties. We have elected to net certain of our derivative assets and liabilities within counterparties.

The amount of estimated cash flow hedges' unrealized gains and losses that are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months is not material.

Financial Risks

Fuel Price Risks

We manage our exposure to fuel price risk by managing our consumption of fuel. Substantially all of our exposure to market risk for changes in fuel prices relates to the consumption of fuel on our ships. We manage fuel consumption through ship maintenance practices, modifying our itineraries and implementing innovative technologies.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risks

Overall Strategy

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates through our normal operating and financing activities, including netting certain exposures to take advantage of any natural offsets and, when considered appropriate, through the use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments. Our primary focus is to monitor our exposure to, and manage, the economic foreign currency exchange risks faced by our operations and realized if we exchange one currency for another. We currently only hedge certain of our ship commitments and net investments in foreign operations. The financial impacts of the hedging instruments we do employ generally offset the changes in the underlying exposures being hedged.

Operational Currency Risks

Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, euro or sterling as their functional currencies. Our operations also have revenue and expenses denominated in non-functional currencies. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates affect our financial statements.

Investment Currency Risks

We consider our investments in foreign operations to be denominated in stable currencies and of a long-term nature. We partially mitigate the currency exposure of our investments in foreign operations by designating a portion of our foreign currency debt and derivatives as hedges of these investments. As of May 31, 2021, we have designated $497 million of our sterling-denominated debt as non-derivative hedges of our net investments in foreign operations. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2021, we recognized $8 million and $50 million of losses on these non-derivative net investment hedges in the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income (loss). We also have $9 billion of euro-denominated debt, which provides an economic offset for our operations with euro functional currency.

Newbuild Currency Risks

Our shipbuilding contracts are typically denominated in euros. Our decision to hedge a non-functional currency ship commitment for our cruise brands is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the amount and duration of the exposure, market volatility, economic trends, our overall expected net cash flows by currency and other offsetting risks. We use foreign currency derivative contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk for some of our ship construction payments.

At May 31, 2021, our remaining newbuild currency exchange rate risk primarily relates to euro-denominated newbuild contract payments to non-euro functional currency brands, which represent a total unhedged commitment of $6.8 billion for newbuilds scheduled to be delivered through 2025.

The cost of shipbuilding orders that we may place in the future that is denominated in a different currency than our cruise brands' will be affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations. These foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations may affect our decision to order new cruise ships.

Interest Rate Risks

We manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates through our debt portfolio management and investment strategies. We evaluate our debt portfolio to determine whether to make periodic adjustments to the mix of fixed and floating rate debt through the use of interest rate swaps and the issuance of new debt.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

As part of our ongoing control procedures, we monitor concentrations of credit risk associated with financial and other institutions with which we conduct significant business. We seek to manage these credit risk exposures, including counterparty nonperformance primarily associated with our cash equivalents, investments, notes receivables, future financing facilities, contingent obligations, derivative instruments, insurance contracts, long-term ship charters and new ship progress payment guarantees, by:

• Conducting business with well-established financial institutions, insurance companies and export credit agencies

• Diversifying our counterparties

• Having guidelines regarding credit ratings and investment maturities that we follow to help safeguard liquidity and minimize risk

• Generally requiring collateral and/or guarantees to support notes receivable on significant asset sales, long-term ship charters and new ship progress payments to shipyards

At May 31, 2021, our exposures under derivative instruments were not material. We also monitor the creditworthiness of travel agencies and tour operators in Asia, Australia and Europe, which includes charter-hire agreements in Asia and credit and debit card providers to which we extend credit in the normal course of our business. Concentrations of credit risk associated with trade receivables and other receivables, charter-hire agreements and contingent obligations are not considered to be material, principally due to the large number of unrelated accounts, the nature of these contingent obligations and their short maturities. Normally, we have not required collateral or other security to support normal credit sales. Historically, we have not experienced significant credit losses, including counterparty nonperformance, however, because of the impact COVID-19 is having on economies, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, an increase in credit losses.

Our credit exposure also includes contingent obligations related to cash payments received directly by travel agents and tour operators for cash collected by them on cruise sales in Australia and most of Europe where we are obligated to honor our guests' cruise payments made by them to their travel agents and tour operators regardless of whether we have received these payments.

NOTE 6 - Segment Information

Our operating segments are reported on the same basis as the internally reported information that is provided to our chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc. The CODM assesses performance and makes decisions to allocate resources for Carnival Corporation & plc based upon review of the results across all of our segments. Our four reportable segments are comprised of (1) NAA cruise operations, (2) EA cruise operations, (3) Cruise Support and (4) Tour and Other.

The operating segments within each of our NAA and EA reportable segments have been aggregated based on the similarity of their economic and other characteristics, including geographic guest sourcing. Our Cruise Support segment includes our portfolio of leading port destinations and other services, all of which are operated for the benefit of our cruise brands. Our Tour and Other segment represents the hotel and transportation operations of Holland America Princess Alaska Tours and other operations.

NOTE 9 - Other Assets

We have a minority interest in the White Pass & Yukon Route ("White Pass") that includes port, railroad and retail operations in Skagway, Alaska. As a result of the effects of COVID-19 on the 2021 Alaska season, we evaluated whether our investment in White Pass was other than temporarily impaired and performed an impairment assessment during the quarter ended February 28, 2021. As a result of our assessment, we recognized an impairment charge of $17 million for our investment in White Pass in other income (expense), net. As of May 31, 2021, our investment in White Pass was $77 million, consisting of $53 million in equity and a loan of $23 million. As of November 30, 2020, our investment in White Pass was $94 million, consisting of $75 million in equity and a loan of $19 million.

We have a minority interest in CSSC Carnival Cruise Shipping Limited ("CSSC-Carnival"), a China-based cruise company which will operate its own fleet designed to serve the Chinese market. Our investment in CSSC-Carnival was $229 million as of May 31, 2021 and $140 million as of November 30, 2020. In December 2019, we sold to CSSC-Carnival a controlling interest in an entity with full ownership of two EA segment ships and recognized a related gain of $107 million, included in other operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). In April 2021, we sold to CSSC-Carnival our remaining $283 million investment in the minority interest of the same entity.

NOTE 10 - Property and Equipment

Ship Sales

Since the pause in guest cruise operations, we have accelerated the removal of ships which were previously expected to be sold over the ensuing years. During 2021, we completed the sale of one NAA segment ship, which represents a passenger-capacity reduction of 670 for our NAA segment.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Cautionary Note Concerning Factors That May Affect Future Results

Some of the statements, estimates or projections contained in this document are "forward-looking statements" that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions with respect to us, including some statements concerning future results, operations, outlooks, plans, goals, reputation, cash flows, liquidity and other events which have not yet occurred. These statements are intended to qualify for the safe harbors from liability provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than statements of historical facts are statements that could be deemed forward-looking. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about our business and the industry in which we operate and the beliefs and assumptions of our management. We have tried, whenever possible, to identify these statements by using words like "will," "may," "could," "should," "would," "believe," "depends," "expect," "goal," "anticipate," "forecast," "project," "future," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "target," "indicate," "outlook," and similar expressions of future intent or the negative of such terms.

Forward-looking statements include those statements that relate to our outlook and financial position including, but not limited to, statements regarding:

• Pricing	• Goodwill, ship and trademark fair values
• Booking levels	• Liquidity and credit ratings
• Occupancy	• Adjusted earnings per share
• Interest, tax and fuel expenses	• Return to guest cruise operations
• Currency exchange rates	• Impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus global pandemic on our financial condition and results of operations
• Estimates of ship depreciable lives and residual values

Because forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are many factors that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements. This note contains important cautionary statements of the known factors that we consider could materially affect the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position. Additionally, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently amplified by and will continue to be amplified by, or in the future may be amplified by, the COVID-19 outbreak. It is not possible to predict or identify all such risks. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:

• COVID-19 has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our financial condition and operations, which impacts our ability to obtain acceptable financing to fund resulting reductions in cash from operations. The current, and uncertain future, impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, including its effect on the ability or desire of people to travel (including on cruises), is expected to continue to impact our results, operations, outlooks, plans, goals, reputation, litigation, cash flows, liquidity, and stock price.

• As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we may be out of compliance with one or more maintenance covenants in certain of our debt facilities, with the next testing date of November 30, 2022.

• World events impacting the ability or desire of people to travel have and may continue to lead to a decline in demand for cruises.

• Incidents concerning our ships, guests or the cruise vacation industry as well as adverse weather conditions and other natural disasters have in the past and may, in the future, impact the satisfaction of our guests and crew and lead to reputational damage.

• Changes in and non-compliance with laws and regulations under which we operate, such as those relating to health, environment, safety and security, data privacy and protection, anti-corruption, economic sanctions, trade protection and tax have in the past and may, in the future, lead to litigation, enforcement actions, fines, penalties and reputational damage.

• Breaches in data security and lapses in data privacy as well as disruptions and other damages to our principal offices, information technology operations and system networks, including the recent ransomware incidents, and failure to keep pace with developments in technology may adversely impact our business operations, the satisfaction of our guests and crew and may lead to reputational damage.

• Ability to recruit, develop and retain qualified shipboard personnel who live away from home for extended periods of time may adversely impact our business operations, guest services and satisfaction.

• Increases in fuel prices, changes in the types of fuel consumed and availability of fuel supply may adversely impact our scheduled itineraries and costs.

• Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates may adversely impact our financial results.

• Overcapacity and competition in the cruise and land-based vacation industry may lead to a decline in our cruise sales, pricing and destination options.

• Inability to implement our shipbuilding programs and ship repairs, maintenance and refurbishments may adversely impact our business operations and the satisfaction of our guests.

The ordering of the risk factors set forth above is not intended to reflect our indication of priority or likelihood.

Forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as a prediction of actual results. Subject to any continuing obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange rules, we expressly disclaim any obligation to disseminate, after the date of this document, any updates or revisions to any such forward-looking statements to reflect any change in expectations or events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements are based.

Recent Developments

Resumption of Guest Operations

The company is uniquely positioned for its phased resumption in cruise travel given its multiple brands which are being restarted independently and tailored to the environment of their respective source market. Eight of the company's nine brands either have resumed or have announced they plan to resume guest cruise operations by the company's fiscal year end, November 30, 2021. 27 ships, or approximately 35% of capacity, have resumed or are announced to resume by the end of the third quarter of 2021 and an additional 15 ships, or nearly 20% of capacity, are announced to resume by the end of the fourth quarter of 2021. Together these 42 ships represent over 50% of capacity. More announcements are expected in the coming weeks which are expected to include additional ship restarts for fiscal year 2021. Consistent with the company's planned phased resumption of guest cruise operations, it expects to have its full fleet back in operation in the spring of 2022.

The company has been working with a number of world-leading public health, epidemiological and policy experts to support its ongoing efforts to implement enhanced health and safety protocols to help protect against and mitigate the impact of COVID-19 during cruise vacations. Initial cruises are taking place with guidance from the company's roster of medical and scientific experts and enhanced health protocols developed in conjunction with government and health authorities. Consequently, the company's brands have a comprehensive set of health and hygiene protocols that facilitate a safe and healthy return to cruise vacations. These enhanced protocols are modeled after shoreside health and mitigation guidelines as provided by each brand's respective country, and approved by all relevant regulatory authorities. Protocols will be updated based on evolving scientific and medical knowledge related to mitigation strategies.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" that is included in the Form 10-K.

Seasonality

Our passenger ticket revenues are seasonal. Historically, demand for cruises has been greatest during our third quarter, which includes the Northern Hemisphere summer months, although 2021 will continue to be adversely impacted by COVID-19. This higher demand during the third quarter results in higher ticket prices and occupancy levels and, accordingly, the largest share of our operating income is earned during this period. This historical trend has been disrupted by the pause and phased resumption of guest cruise operations. In addition, substantially all of Holland America Princess Alaska Tours' revenue and net income (loss) is generated from May through September in conjunction with Alaska's cruise season. During 2021, the Alaska cruise season will continue to be adversely impacted by the effects of COVID-19.

We paused our guest cruise operations in mid-March 2020. As of May 31, 2021, five of our ships were operating with guests onboard. Eight of our nine brands either have resumed or are announced to resume guest operations by November 30, 2021, as part of our phased return to service. The phased resumption of guest cruise operations is continuing to have a material impact on all aspects of our business, including our liquidity, financial position and results of operations. The full extent of the impact will be determined by our phased return to service and the length of time COVID-19 influences travel decisions.

As a result of the phased resumption of our guest cruise operations, we have experienced essentially no revenue for the three and six months ended May 31, 2021. This has resulted in operating losses for the current periods. We continue to expect a net loss on both a U.S. GAAP and adjusted basis for the third quarter of 2021 and the full year ending November 30, 2021.

While maintaining compliance, environmental protection and safety, we significantly reduced ship operating expenses, including cruise payroll and related expenses, food, fuel, insurance and port charges by transitioning ships into paused status, either at anchor or in port and staffed at a safe manning level. As we continue to resume guest cruise operations, we expect to incur incremental spend relating to bringing our ships out of pause status, returning crew members to our ships and implementing enhanced health and safety protocols.

There were no goodwill impairment charges for the six months ended May 31, 2021. For the three and six months ended May 31, 2020, we recognized goodwill impairment charges of $1.4 billion and $2.1 billion.

We recognized a ship impairment charge of $49 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2021 and ship impairment charges of $498 million and $828 million for the three and six months ended May 31, 2020.

Nonoperating Income (Expense)

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, increased by $256 million to $437 million in 2021 from $182 million in 2020. The increase was caused by additional debt borrowings with higher interest rates since the pause in guest cruise operations.

Explanations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted earnings per share as non-GAAP financial measures of our cruise segments' and the company's financial performance. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided along with U.S. GAAP net income (loss) and U.S. GAAP diluted earnings per share.

We believe that gains and losses on ship sales, impairment charges, restructuring costs and other gains and losses are not part of our core operating business and are not an indication of our future earnings performance. Therefore, we believe it is more meaningful for these items to be excluded from our net income (loss) and earnings per share and, accordingly, we present adjusted net income (loss) and adjusted earnings per share excluding these items.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure, and we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about our operating profitability adjusted for certain non-cash items and other gains and expenses that we believe are not part of our core operating business and are not an indication of our future earnings performance. Further, we believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to investors about our ability to operate our business in compliance with the restrictions set forth in our debt agreements. We define Adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income (loss) adjusted for (i) interest, (ii) taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. There are material limitations to using Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account certain significant items that directly affect our net income (loss). These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently, and by considering Adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income (loss) as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

The presentation of our non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation from, as substitute for, or superior to the financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It is possible that our non-GAAP financial measures may not be exactly comparable to the like-kind information presented by other companies, which is a potential risk associated with using these measures to compare us to other companies.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2021, we had $9.3 billion of cash and short-term investments. We have taken significant actions to preserve cash and obtain additional financing to increase our liquidity. We continue to focus on pursuing additional refinancing opportunities to reduce interest expense and extend maturities. Since December 2020, we have completed the following:

• In December 2020, we borrowed $1.5 billion under export credit facilities due in semi-annual installments through 2033.

• In February 2021, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $3.5 billion under the 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on March 1, 2027. The 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.8% per year.

• In February 2021, we completed a public offering of 40.5 million shares of Carnival Corporation's common stock at a price per share of $25.10, resulting in net proceeds of $996 million.

• During the first quarter of 2021, we obtained waivers of compliance with the Interest Coverage Covenant and Debt to Capital Covenant in our export credit facilities through August 31, 2022 (with the next testing date of November 30, 2022) or November 30, 2022 (with the next testing date of February 28, 2023) for our funded export credit facilities with aggregate indebtedness of $8.8 billion as of May 31, 2021 and unfunded export credit facilities with an aggregate principal amount of $6.5 billion as of May 31, 2021.

• During the first quarter of 2021 we entered into supplemental agreements with respect to our Revolving Credit Facility and many of our bank loans. Under our Revolving Credit Facility and many of our bank loans, we are now required to maintain the Interest Coverage Covenant from February 28, 2023, at a ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2023 testing dates, 2.5 to 1.0 for the August 31, 2023 and November 30, 2023 testing dates, and 3.0 to 1.0 from the February 28, 2024 testing date onwards, or through their respective maturity dates, and the Debt to Capital Covenant at the end of each fiscal quarter before the November 30, 2021 testing date at a percentage not to exceed 65%. From the November 30, 2021 testing date until the May 31, 2023 testing date the Debt to Capital Covenant is not to exceed 75%, following which it will be tested at levels which decline ratably to 65% from the May 31, 2024 testing date onwards.

• The relevant export credit agencies have provided approval in principle to defer approximately $1.0 billion of principal payments that would otherwise have been due over a one year period with repayments to be made over the following five years. In connection with these deferrals, we are negotiating modifications of certain financial covenant thresholds for certain future periods. We expect to enter into supplemental agreements during the third quarter of 2021 to complete these transactions. In connection with such supplemental agreements, additional subsidiary guarantees will be granted.

Certain of our debt instruments contain provisions that may limit our ability to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness.

Our monthly average cash burn rate for the first half of 2021 was $500 million, which was better than forecasted primarily due to the timing of proceeds from ship sales and working capital changes. This monthly average cash burn rate includes revenues earned on voyages, ongoing ship operating and administrative expenses, restart spend, working capital changes (excluding changes in customer deposits), interest expense and capital expenditures (net of export credit facilities), and excludes scheduled debt maturities as well as other cash collateral to be provided (which may increase in the future). As we continue to resume guest cruise operations, we expect to incur incremental spend relating to bringing our ships out of pause status, returning crew members to our ships and implementing enhanced health and safety protocols. We have identified and implemented actions to optimize our ongoing monthly cash burn rate and we will continue to do so.

We had working capital of $1.4 billion as of May 31, 2021 compared to working capital of $1.9 billion as of November 30, 2020. The decrease in working capital was driven by a decrease in cash and short-term investments. Historically, during our normal operations, we operate with a substantial working capital deficit. This deficit is mainly attributable to the fact that, under our business model, substantially all of our passenger ticket receipts are collected in advance of the applicable sailing date. These advance passenger receipts generally remain a current liability until the sailing date. The cash generated from these advance receipts is used interchangeably with cash on hand from other sources, such as our borrowings and other cash from operations. The cash received as advanced receipts can be used to fund operating expenses, pay down our debt, make long-term investments or any other use of cash. Included within our working capital are $2.0 billion and $1.9 billion of customer deposits as of May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, respectively. We have paid and expect to continue to pay cash refunds of customer deposits with respect to a portion of cancelled cruises. The amount of cash refunds to be paid may depend on the level of guest acceptance of FCCs and future cruise cancellations. We record a liability for FCCs only to the extent we have received cash from guests with bookings on cancelled sailings. In addition, we have a relatively low-level of accounts receivable and limited investment in inventories. We expect that we will have working capital deficits in the future once we return to normal guest cruise operations.

Refer to Note 1 - "General, Liquidity and Management's Plans" of the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding our liquidity.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities

Our business used $2.9 billion of net cash flows in operating activities during the six months ended May 31, 2021, a decrease of $1.1 billion, compared to $1.8 billion of net cash used for the same period in 2020.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended May 31, 2021, net cash used in investing activities was $4.2 billion. This was driven by the following:

• Capital expenditures of $2.0 billion for our ongoing new shipbuilding program

• Capital expenditures of $168 million for ship improvements and replacements, information technology and buildings and improvements

Funding Sources

As of May 31, 2021, we had $9.3 billion of cash and short-term investments. In addition, we had $6.5 billion of export credit facilities to fund ship deliveries planned through 2024.

(in billions)	2021		2022		2023		2024
Future export credit facilities at May 31, 2021 (a)	$	0.5	$	3.5	$	1.9	$	0.6

(a) Under the terms of these export credit facilities, we are required to comply with the Interest Coverage Covenant and the Debt to Capital Covenant, among others. We entered into supplemental agreements to waive compliance with the Interest Coverage Covenant and the Debt to Capital Covenant for our unfunded export credit facilities through August 31, 2022 or November 30, 2022, as applicable. We will be required to comply beginning with the next testing date of November 30, 2022 or February 28, 2023, as applicable.

Many of our debt agreements contain various other financial covenants, including those described in Note 3 - "Debt" and in Note 5 - "Debt" in the annual consolidated financial statements, which are included within our Form 10-K. At May 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants under our debt agreements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements, including guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests, certain derivative instruments and variable interest entities that either have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

A. Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded, as of May 31, 2021, that they are effective at a reasonable level of assurance, as described above.

B. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended May 31, 2021 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The legal proceedings described in Note 4 - "Contingencies and Commitments" of our consolidated financial statements, including those described under "COVID-19 Actions," are incorporated in this "Legal Proceedings" section by reference. Additionally, SEC rules require disclosure of certain environmental matters when a governmental authority is a party to the proceedings and such proceedings involve potential monetary sanctions that we believe will exceed $1 million for such proceedings. We are not aware of any environmental proceedings that exceed this threshold for the quarter ending May 31, 2021.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The risk factors in this Form 10-Q below should be carefully considered, including the risk factors discussed in "Risk Factors" and other risks discussed in our Form 10-K. These risks could materially and adversely affect our results, operations, outlooks, plans, goals, growth, reputation, cash flows, liquidity, and stock price. Our business also could be affected by risks that we are not presently aware of or that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.

COVID-19 and Liquidity/Debt Related Risk Factors

The COVID-19 global pandemic is having material negative impacts on all aspects of our business. We implemented a pause of our guest cruise operations in mid-March 2020 across all brands. As of May 31, 2021, five of our ships were operating with guests onboard as part of our phased return to service. We have been, and will continue to be negatively impacted by travel bans and advisories, and evolving, conflicting and complex restrictions, recommendations and regulations set by various governmental authorities. These restrictions, recommendations and regulations have and may continue to impact our ability to operate our business in an optimal manner.

As we continue to resume guest cruise operations, we expect to incur incremental spend relating to bringing our ships out of pause status, returning crew members to our ships and implementing enhanced health and safety protocols. The industry is subject to and may be further subject to enhanced health and hygiene requirements in attempts to counteract future outbreaks, and these requirements may be costly, take a significant amount of time to implement across our global cruise operations, and may result in disruptions in guest cruise operations, incremental costs and loss of revenue.

We intend to make vaccines available to all of our crew but there can be no assurances that we will be able to source sufficient vaccines for our global crew. In addition, although vaccines have proven to be effective in mitigating this risks of continued spread of COVID-19, there is no guarantee that the vaccines will continue to be effective against future variants.

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 on some of our ships, and the resulting illness and loss of life in certain instances, we have been the subject of negative publicity, which could have a long term impact on the appeal of our brands, which would diminish demand for vacations on our vessels. We cannot predict how long the negative impact of media attention on our brands will last, or the level of investment that will be required to address the concerns of potential travelers through marketing and pricing actions.

We have received, and may continue to receive, lawsuits, other governmental investigations and other actions stemming from COVID-19. We cannot predict the quantum or outcome of any such proceedings, some of which could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties in the future, and the impact that they will have on our financial results, but any such impact may be material. We also remain subject to extensive, complex, and closely monitored obligations under the court-ordered environmental compliance plan supervised by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, as a result of the previously disclosed settlement agreement relating to the violation of probation conditions for a plea agreement entered into by Princess Cruises and the U.S. Department of Justice in 2016. We remain fully committed to satisfying those obligations.

We have insurance coverage for certain liabilities, costs and expenses related to COVID-19 through our participation in Protection and Indemnity ("P&I") clubs, including coverage for direct and incremental costs including, but not limited to, certain quarantine expenses and for certain liabilities to passengers and crew. P&I clubs are mutual indemnity associations owned by members. There is a $10 million deductible per occurrence (meaning per outbreak on a particular ship). We cannot provide assurance that we will receive insurance proceeds that will compensate us fully for our liabilities, costs and expenses that exceed the $10 million deductible under these policies. We have no insurance coverage for loss of revenues or earnings from our ships or other operations.

In connection with our capacity optimization strategy, we have accelerated the removal of ships from our fleet which were previously expected to be sold over the ensuing years. We have sold, expect to sell or have agreements for the disposal of various vessels. Some of these agreements for the disposal of vessels have been for recycling. When we choose to dispose of a ship, there can be no assurance that there will be a viable buyer to purchase it at a price that exceeds our net book value, which could result in ship impairment charges and losses on ship disposals.

The effects of COVID-19 on the operations of shipyards where our ships are under construction have resulted in delays in ship deliveries.

We cannot predict the timing of our complete return to service at historical occupancy and pricing levels and when various ports will reopen to our ships. If our phased resumption of guest cruise operations is delayed or there are future pauses or disruptions in the resumption of guest cruise operations, it could further negatively impact our liquidity. As our business is seasonal, the impact of such a delay or future pause in the resumption of guest cruise operations will be heightened if such delay or future pause occurs during the Northern Hemisphere summer months. Moreover, even as travel advisories and restrictions are lifted, demand for cruises may be impacted for a significant length of time and we cannot predict if and when each brand will return to pre-outbreak demand or fare pricing. In particular, our bookings may be negatively impacted by the adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, including higher unemployment rates, declines in income levels and loss of personal wealth resulting from the impact of COVID-19. In addition, we cannot predict the impact COVID-19 will have on our partners, such as travel agencies, suppliers and other vendors, counterparties and joint ventures. We may be adversely impacted as a result of the adverse impact our partners, counterparties and joint ventures suffer.

We have never previously experienced a complete cessation of our guest cruise operations, and as a consequence, our ability to be predictive regarding the impact of such a cessation on our brands and future prospects is uncertain. In particular, we cannot predict the impact on our financial performance and cash flows (including as required for cash refunds of deposits) as a result of the phased resumptions in our guest cruise operations and the public's concern regarding the health and safety of travel, especially by cruise ship, and related decreases in demand for travel and cruising. Moreover, our ability to attract and retain guests and our ability to hire and the amounts we must pay our crew depends, in part, upon the perception and reputation of our company and our brands and the public's concerns regarding the health and safety of travel generally, as well as regarding the cruising industry and our ships specifically. In addition, our ability to re-hire crew may be negatively impacted as some have obtained alternative employment during the pause.

Our access to and cost of financing depends on, among other things, global economic conditions, conditions in the global financing markets, the availability of sufficient amounts of financing, our prospects and our credit ratings. As a result of COVID-19's effects on our operations, Moody's and S&P Global downgraded our credit ratings to be non-investment grade. If our credit ratings were to be further downgraded, or general market conditions were to ascribe higher risk to our rating levels, our industry, or us, our access to capital and the cost of any debt or equity financing will be further negatively impacted. In addition, the terms of future debt agreements could include more restrictive covenants, or require incremental collateral, which may further restrict our business operations or be unavailable due to our covenant restrictions then in effect. There is no guarantee that debt or equity financings will be available in the future to fund our obligations, or that they will be available on terms consistent with our expectations. Additionally, the impact of COVID-19 on the financial markets may adversely impact our ability to raise funds.

In addition, the COVID-19 outbreak has significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty. The effects of COVID-19 have caused a global recession, which could have a further adverse impact on our financial condition and operations. In past recessions, demand for our cruise vacations has been significantly negatively impacted which has resulted in lower occupancy rates and adverse pricing, with a corresponding increase in the use of credits and other means to attract travelers. As a result of the impact of COVID-19, we expect lower occupancy levels during our resumption of guest cruise operations and cannot predict when we will be able to achieve historical occupancy levels.

The extent of the effects of the outbreak on our business and the cruising industry at large is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the outbreak, the length of time it takes for demand and pricing to return and normal economic and operating conditions to resume. To the extent COVID-19 adversely affects our business, operations, financial condition and operating results, it may also have the effect of heightening many other risks.

• As a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, we may be out of compliance with one or more maintenance covenants in certain of our debt facilities, with the next testing date of November 30, 2022.

Under the terms of certain of our export credit facilities, we are required to comply with the Interest Coverage Covenant of not less than 3.0 to 1.0, and ensure that our Debt to Capital Covenant does not exceed 65% at the end of each fiscal quarter. During the first quarter of 2021 (and while being in compliance with the Debt to Capital Covenant as of such date), we obtained waivers of compliance with the Interest Coverage Covenant and Debt to Capital Covenant in our export credit facilities through August 31, 2022 (with the next testing date of November 30, 2022) or November 30, 2022 (with the next testing date of February 28, 2023) for our funded export credit facilities with aggregate indebtedness of $8.8 billion as of May 31, 2021 and unfunded export credit facilities with an aggregate principal amount of $6.5 billion as of May 31, 2021.

During the first quarter of 2021 we entered into supplemental agreements with respect to our Revolving Credit Facility and many of our bank loans. Under our Revolving Credit Facility and many of our bank loans, we are now required to maintain the Interest Coverage Covenant from February 28, 2023, at a ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the February 28, 2023 and May 31, 2023 testing dates, 2.5 to 1.0 for the August 31, 2023 and November 30, 2023 testing dates, and 3.0 to 1.0 from the February 28, 2024 testing date onwards, or through their respective maturity dates, and the Debt to Capital Covenant at the end of each fiscal quarter before the November 30, 2021 testing date at a percentage not to exceed 65%. From the November 30, 2021 testing date until the May 31, 2023 testing date the Debt to Capital Covenant is not to exceed 75%, following which it will be tested at levels which decline ratably to 65% from the May 31, 2024 testing date onwards.

Even though we expect to obtain further amendments under our debt facilities with respect to the Interest Coverage Covenant or the Debt to Capital Covenant, if such amendments are not obtained we may be required to take certain actions, which in the case of the Debt to Capital Covenant could include issuing additional equity and/or reducing our indebtedness, failing which we may not be in compliance with the Interest Coverage Covenant or the Debt to Capital Covenant following August 31, 2022 with the next testing date of November 30, 2022 for such debt facilities, or as of future testing dates for certain agreements, because of the phased resumption of our guest cruise operations.

Amendments and waivers of the Interest Coverage Covenant and Debt to Capital Covenant have led and may continue to lead to increased costs, increased interest rates, additional restrictive covenants and other lender protections that are, or may become, applicable to us under these debt facilities, and such increased costs, restrictions and modifications may vary among debt facilities. For example, in connection with the amendments to the Revolving Credit Facility and certain agreements governing our bank loans described above, we have made certain changes to more closely align the financial covenants among the various facilities and agreements. In addition, we have agreed to additional restrictive covenants in such facilities and agreements with respect to debt incurrence, lien incurrence, restricted payments and investments that are substantially consistent with those contained in the indentures governing our recent unsecured notes issuances. In May and June 2021, the subsidiaries that guarantee our 2026 Senior Unsecured Notes and the 2027 Senior Unsecured Notes agreed to guarantee certain of our debt that was outstanding prior to April 2020, including our Revolving Credit Facility. These subsidiaries are expected to enter into additional agreements to guarantee additional debt under certain of our export credit facilities. Our ability to provide additional lender protections under these facilities, including the granting of security interests in certain collateral and the granting of guarantees with respect to certain outstanding debt, will be limited by the terms of such agreements as amended, and our other debt facilities.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain amendments in a timely manner, on acceptable terms or at all. If we were not able to obtain the financial covenant amendments described above under any one or more of these debt facilities, we would be in default of any such agreement. As a consequence, we would need to refinance or repay the applicable debt facility or facilities, and would be required to raise additional debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay such facility or facilities. If we were to be unable to obtain financial covenant amendments as may be required under any one or more of these debt facilities, there can be no assurance that we would be able to raise sufficient debt or equity capital, or divest assets, to refinance or repay such facility or facilities. With respect to each of the unfunded debt facilities, if we were unable to obtain amendments under such debt facilities, the relevant lender under such facility could terminate that facility. With respect to each of our funded debt facilities, if we were unable to obtain amendments or refinance or repay such debt facilities, it would lead to an event of default under such facilities, which could lead to an acceleration of the indebtedness under such debt facilities. In turn, this would lead to an event of default and potential acceleration of amounts due under all of our outstanding debt and derivative contract payables. As a result, the failure to obtain the financial covenant amendments described above would have a material adverse effect.

CARNIVAL PLC

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED GROUP FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - General

Description of Business

Carnival plc was incorporated in England and Wales in 2000 and is domiciled in the UK with its headquarters located at Carnival House, 100 Harbour Parade, Southampton, Hampshire, SO15 1ST, UK (registration number 04039524). The Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies and methods of computation, including estimates and assumptions, adopted and disclosed in Carnival plc and its subsidiaries and associates (referred to collectively in these Interim Financial Statements as the "Group," "our," "us" and "we") consolidated statutory financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2020. These Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors on June 23, 2021.

DLC Arrangement

Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc operate a dual listed company ("DLC") arrangement, known as Carnival Corporation & plc, whereby the businesses of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc are combined through a number of contracts and provisions in Carnival Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws and Carnival plc's Articles of Association. The two companies operate as a single economic enterprise with a single senior executive management team and identical Boards of Directors, but each has retained its separate legal identity. Each company's shares are publicly traded; on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") for Carnival Corporation and the London Stock Exchange for Carnival plc. The Carnival plc American Depositary Shares are traded on the NYSE.

The Boards of Directors consider that within the DLC arrangement, the most appropriate presentation of Carnival plc's results and financial position is by reference to the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") DLC Financial Statements because all significant financial and operating decisions affecting the DLC companies are made on a joint basis to optimize the consolidated performance as a single economic entity. Accordingly, the DLC Financial Statements for the three and six months ended May 31, 2021 are provided to shareholders as other information, which are included in Schedule A. In addition, the related management commentary has been included in Schedule B as other information.

These Interim Financial Statements are required to satisfy reporting requirements of the United Kingdom Listing Authority and do not include the consolidated results and financial position of Carnival Corporation and its subsidiaries. These Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") and with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the European Union ("IAS 34"). The Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2020, which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union ("IFRS"). Our Interim Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars as this is our presentation currency.

The preparation of our Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies as well as reported and disclosed amounts in these financial statements. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances and form the basis of making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates used in preparing these Interim Financial Statements.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.

Status of Financial Statements

Our Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended May 31, 2021 have not been audited or reviewed by the auditors.

Our Interim Financial Statements do not comprise statutory accounts within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006. Statutory accounts for the year ended November 30, 2020 were approved by the Board of Directors on January 25, 2021 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was (i) unqualified, (ii) contained a material uncertainty related to going concern and (iii) did not contain any statement under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.

Liquidity and Management's Plans

In the face of the global impact of COVID-19, Carnival Corporation & plc paused its guest cruise operations in mid-March 2020. As of May 31, 2021, five of Carnival Corporation & plc's ships were operating with guests onboard. Eight of its nine brands either have resumed or are announced to resume guest operations by November 30, 2021, as part of Carnival Corporation & plc's phased return to service. Significant events affecting travel, including COVID-19 and the phased resumption of guest cruise operations, have had and continue to have an impact on booking patterns. The full extent of the impact will be determined by the phased return to service and the length of time COVID-19 influences travel decisions. Carnival Corporation & plc believes that the ongoing effects of COVID-19 on its operations and global bookings has had, and will continue to have, a material negative impact on its financial results and liquidity.

The estimation of Carnival Corporation & plc's future liquidity requirements includes numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The principal assumptions used to estimate its future liquidity requirements consist of:

• Expected continued phased resumption of guest cruise operations

• Expected lower than comparable historica l occupancy levels during the resumption of guest cruise operations

• Expected incremental spend for the resumption of guest cruise operations, for bringing its ships out of pause status, returning crew members to its ships and implementing enhanced health and safety protocols

In addition, Carnival Corporation & plc makes certain assumptions about new ship deliveries, improvements and disposals, and considers the future export credit financings that are associated with the ship deliveries.

Carnival Corporation & plc cannot make assurances that its assumptions used to estimate its liquidity requirements may not change because they have never previously experienced a complete cessation of its guest cruise operations, and as a consequence, their ability to be predictive is uncertain. In addition, the magnitude and duration of the global pandemic are uncertain. Carnival Corporation & plc has made reasonable estimates and judgments of the impact of COVID-19 within its consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Carnival Corporation & plc continues to expect a net loss on both a U.S. GAAP and adjusted basis for the third quarter of 2021 and the full year ending November 30, 2021. Carnival Corporation & plc has taken actions to improve its liquidity, including completing various capital market transactions, capital expenditure and operating expense reductions, accelerating the removal of certain ships from its fleet and expects to continue to pursue refinancing opportunities to reduce interest expense and extend maturities.

Based on these actions and Carnival Corporation & plc's assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, and considering Carnival Corporation & plc's $9.3 billion of cash and short-term investments at May 31, 2021, it has concluded that it has sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations for at least the next twelve months. In light of these circumstances, the Boards of Directors of the Group have a reasonable expectation that Carnival Corporation & plc has adequate resources to continue its operational existence and continue to adopt the going concern basis of preparing the Carnival plc Interim Financial Statements. Refer to Schedule B of this release for additional discussion.

COVID-19 Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainty

The preparation of our Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies as well as reported and disclosed amounts in these financial statements. The full extent to which the effects of COVID-19 will directly or indirectly impact our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition, including our valuation of goodwill and trademarks, impairment of ships, collectability of trade and notes receivables as well as provisions for pending litigation, will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain. We have made reasonable estimates and judgments of the impact of COVID-19 within our financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods.

Accounting Pronouncements

The International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") has issued amendments to the standard, IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements - Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current, providing a more general approach to the classification of liabilities based on the contractual agreements in place at the reporting date. These amendments are required to be adopted by us for the financial year commencing on December 1, 2022 and must be applied retrospectively. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The IASB issued amendments to the standards, IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures, IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts and IFRS 16 Leases, that address issues that might affect financial reporting when an existing interest rate benchmark is replaced with an alternative interest rate. The changes relate to the modification of financial assets, financial liabilities and lease liabilities, specific hedge accounting requirements, and disclosure requirements applying IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to accompany the amendments regarding modifications and hedge accounting. This guidance is required to be adopted by us for the financial year commencing on December 1, 2022. We are evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements .

NOTE 2 - Revenue and Expense Recognition

Passenger ticket revenues include fees, taxes and charges collected by us from our guests. A portion of these fees, taxes and charges vary with guest head counts and are directly imposed on a revenue-producing arrangement. This portion of the fees, taxes and charges is expensed in commissions, transportation and other costs when the corresponding revenues are recognized. For the six months ended May 31, fees, taxes, and charges included in commissions, transportation and other costs were not significant in 2021 and $53 million in 2020. The remaining portion of fees, taxes and charges are expensed in other operating expenses when the corresponding revenues are recognized.

Customer Deposits

Our payment terms generally require an initial deposit to confirm a reservation, with the balance due prior to the voyage. Cash received from guests in advance of the cruise is recorded in customer deposits and in other long-term liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts include refundable deposits. We are providing flexibility to guests with bookings on sailings cancelled due to the pause in cruise operations by allowing guests to receive enhanced future cruise credits ("FCC") or elect to receive refunds in cash. We have paid and expect to continue to pay cash refunds of customer deposits with respect to a portion of these cancelled cruises. The amount of cash refunds to be paid may depend on the level of guest acceptance of FCCs and future cruise cancellations. We record a liability for FCCs to the extent we have received cash from guests with bookings on cancelled sailings. We had customer deposits of $0.7 billion as of May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020. As of May 31, 2021, the current portion of customer deposits was $0.5 billion. This amount includes deposits related to cancelled cruises prior to the election of a cash refund by guests. Refunds payable to guests who have elected cash refunds are recorded in accounts payable. Due to the uncertainty associated with the duration and extent of COVID-19, we are unable to estimate the amount of the May 31, 2021 customer deposits that will be recognized in earnings compared to amounts that will be refunded to customers or issued as a credit for future travel. During the six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized revenues of an immaterial amount and $1.3 billion, respectively, related to our customer deposits as of November 30, 2020 and 2019. Historically, our customer deposits balance changes due to the seasonal nature of cash collections, the recognition of revenue, refund of customer deposits and foreign currency translation.

At May 31, 2021	$	16,461

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate potential impairment.

As a result of the phased resumption of guest cruise operations and its effect on our expected future operating cash flows, we determined certain impairment triggers had occurred. Accordingly, we performed discounted cash flow analyses on certain ships in our fleet, selected utilizing a risk-based approach taking into consideration the remaining life of each ship relative to its carrying value, to determine an estimated value in use. If the net carrying value of the ship exceeded its estimated value in use or its expected realizable selling value less cost of disposal, we recognized an impairment charge. In total, we recognized $1 million and $514 million of ship impairment charges during the six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The principal assumptions, all of which are considered Level 3 inputs, used in our 2020 cash flow analyses consisted of:

• Timing of the respective ship's return to service, changes in market conditions and port or other restrictions

• Timing of the sale of ships and estimated proceeds

Refer to Note 1 - "General, COVID-19 Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainty" for additional discussion.

NOTE 4 - Goodwill

(in millions)
At November 30, 2020	$	284
Foreign currency translation adjustment	12
At May 31, 2021	$	296

As a result of the phased resumption of guest cruise operations and its effect on our expected future operating cash flows, we performed interim discounted cash flow analyses for all cash-generating units with goodwill as of May 31, 2021, and determined there was no impairment. For the six months ended May 31, 2020, we recognized goodwill impairment charges of $310 million for our cash-generating units.

The determination of our cash-generating units' goodwill fair values includes numerous assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. The effect of COVID-19 and the phased resumption have created some uncertainty in forecasting the operating results and future cash flows used in our impairment analyses. We believe that we have made reasonable estimates and judgments. A change in the conditions, circumstances or strategy (including decisions about the allocation of new ships amongst brands and the transfer of ships between brands), which influence determinations of fair value, may result in a need to recognize an additional impairment charge. The principal assumptions, all of which are considered Level 3 inputs, used in our cash flow analyses consisted of:

• The timing of our return to service, changes in market conditions and port or other restrictions

• The allocation of new ships and the timing of the transfer or sale of ships amongst brands, as well as the estimated proceeds from ship sales

• Weighted-average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for the risk attributable to the geographic regions in which these cruise brands operate

Refer to Note 1 - "General, COVID-19 Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainty" for additional discussion.

NOTE 5 - Other Assets

NOTE 6 - Debt

Covenant Compliance

Our export credit facilities contain one or more covenants that require us to:

• Maintain minimum shareholders' equity of $5.0 billion

• Limit our debt to capital percentage (the "Debt to Capital Covenant") to 65% at the end of each fiscal quarter

• Limit the amounts of our secured assets as well as secured and other indebtedness

• Maintain minimum shareholders' equity of $5.0 billion.

• Maintain minimum liquidity of $1.0 billion through November 30, 2022.

• Adhere to certain restrictive covenants through November 30, 2024.

• Restrict the granting of guarantees and security interests for certain of our outstanding debt through November 30, 2024.

At May 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the applicable covenants under our debt agreements.

NOTE 7 - Ship Commitments

At May 31, 2021, we had four ships under contract for construction. The estimated total future commitments,

including the contract prices with the shipyards, design and engineering fees, capitalised interest, construction

oversight costs and various owner supplied items are as follows:

(in millions)	May 31, 2021

NOTE 8 - Contingencies

Litigation

We record provisions in the consolidated financial statements for pending litigation when we determine that an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated.

Contingent Obligations - Indemnifications

Other Contingencies

Carnival Corporation & plc has agreements with a number of credit card processors that transact customer deposits related to its cruise vacations. Certain of these agreements allow the credit card processors to request under certain circumstances that Carnival Corporation & plc provide a reserve fund in cash. Although the agreements vary, these requirements may generally be satisfied either through a withheld percentage of customer payments or providing cash funds directly to the credit card processor. As of May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, Carnival Corporation & plc had $939 million and $423 million, respectively, in reserve funds relating to its customer deposits to satisfy these requirements which are included within other assets. Carnival Corporation & plc expects a portion of new customer deposits to be withheld under these agreements. Additionally, as of May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020 Carnival Corporation & plc had $166 million of cash collateral in escrow, of which $136 million is included within prepaid expenses and other.

COVID-19 Actions

Private Actions

All COVID-19 actions seek monetary damages and most seek additional punitive damages in unspecified amounts.

We continue to take proper actions to defend against the above claims.

Governmental Inquiries and Investigations

NOTE 9 - Dividends

To enhance our liquidity, as well as comply with the dividend restrictions contained in our debt agreements, in 2020 we suspended the payment of dividends on the common stock of Carnival Corporation and the ordinary shares of Carnival plc.

NOTE 10 - Segment Information

As previously discussed, within the DLC arrangement the most appropriate presentation of Carnival plc's results and financial position is by reference to the DLC Financial Statements. The operating segments are reported on the same basis as the internally reported information that is provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), who is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc. The CODM assesses performance and makes decisions to allocate resources for Carnival Corporation & plc based upon review of the results across all of the segments. Carnival Corporation & plc has four reportable segments comprised of (1) North America and Australia cruise operations ("NAA"), (2) Europe and Asia cruise operations ("EA"), (3) Cruise Support and (4) Tour and Other.

(a) Includes $1.3 billion of goodwill impairment charges.

(b) Includes $777 million of goodwill impairment charges.

(c) Carnival Corporation consists primarily of cruise brands that do not form part of the Group; however, these brands are included in Carnival Corporation & plc and thus represent substantially all of the reconciling items. The U.S. GAAP vs IFRS accounting differences principally relate to differences in the carrying value of goodwill and other intangibles, ships and related depreciation expenses. The eliminations include ship charters between Carnival Corporation and the Group.

(d) For the six months ended May 31, 2020, we presented $593 million of ship and other impairment charges within operating costs and expenses in the table in order to conform to the current year presentation.

Revenue by geographic areas, which are based on where our guests are sourced, were as follows:

(in millions)	Six Months Ended May 31, 2020
North America	$	160
Europe	1,457
Australia and Asia	601
Other	165
	$	2,383

As a result of the phased resumption of guest cruise operations, we have experienced essentially no revenue for the six months ended May 31, 2021 and as a result current year data is not meaningful and is not included in the table.

NOTE 11 - Related Party Transactions

There have been no changes in the six months ended May 31, 2021 to the nature of the related party transactions described in the Group IFRS financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2020 that have a material effect on the financial position or results of operations of the Group. All amounts owed to the Carnival Corporation group are unsecured and repayable on demand.

During the six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises did not purchase land tours from us. In addition, during the six months ended May 31, 2021 we did not sell pre- and post-cruise vacations, shore excursions or transportation services to the Carnival Corporation group. During the six months ended May 31, 2020, we sold pre- and post-cruise vacations, shore excursions and transportation services to the Carnival Corporation group.

During the six months ended May 31, 2020, Carnival plc had ship charter agreements with Princess Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line for ships operating in Australia and/or Asia. Princess Cruises and Carnival Cruise Line are subsidiaries of Carnival Corporation. The total charter expense for the six months ended May 31, 2020 was $380 million, which was included in other ship operating expenses. These ship charter agreements were terminated effective May 2020.

At May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020, Carnival Corporation owned 0.8 million, or 0.4% of Carnival plc's ordinary shares, which are non-voting. At May 31, 2021 and November 30, 2020 Carnival Investments Limited ("CIL"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carnival Corporation, owned 24.9 million or 12% of Carnival plc's ordinary shares, which are also non-voting. During the six months ended May 31, 2021, Carnival Corporation and CIL did not receive dividends on their Carnival plc ordinary shares.

During the six months ended May 31, 2021, Carnival plc continued to provide a guarantee to the Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund for certain employees who have transferred from Carnival plc to a subsidiary of Carnival Corporation.

Within the DLC arrangement, there are instances where the Group provides services to Carnival Corporation group companies and also where Carnival Corporation group companies provide services to the Group.

NOTE 12 - Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The principal risks and uncertainties affecting our business activities are included in Item 4. Risk Management and/or Mitigation of Principal Risks of our 2020 Strategic Report. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results. Refer to Schedule B of this release for additional discussion.

NOTE 13 - Seasonality

NOTE 14 - Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Fair Value Measurements

• Level 1 measurements are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

• Level 2 measurements are based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active or market data other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities.

• Level 3 measurements are based on unobservable data that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Under deeds of guarantee executed in connection with the DLC arrangement, as well as stand-alone guarantees

executed since that time, each of Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc have effectively cross guaranteed all

indebtedness and certain other monetary obligations of each other. The fair value of cross guarantees within the DLC arrangement were not significant at May 31, 2021 or November 30, 2020, and are not expected to result in any material loss.

There are no credit risk related contingent features in our derivative agreements. The amount of estimated cash flow hedges' unrealized gains and losses that are expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months is not material.

NOTE 15 - Government Assistance

During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Group received government assistance as part of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme implemented by the UK Government. Under this scheme, assistance may be claimed for up to 80 percent of eligible furloughed employee wage costs. During the six months ended May 31, 2021, the Group also received government assistance under similar schemes provided by governments in Germany, Netherlands and Italy. The total amounts recognized by the Group during the six months ended May 31, 2021 and 2020 from these schemes was $14 million and $7 million respectively and is offset in payroll and related expense and selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Income (Loss).
