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, 2021. These Interim Financial Statements were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on June 23, 2022.

DLC Arrangement

Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc operate a dual listed company ("DLC") arrangement, 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 constitutional documents of each company provide that, on most matters, the holders of the common equity of both companies effectively vote as a single body. The Equalization and Governance Agreement between Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc provides for the equalization of dividends and liquidation distributions based on an equalization ratio and contains provisions relating to the governance of the DLC arrangement. Because the equalization ratio is 1 to 1, one share of Carnival Corporation common stock and one Carnival plc ordinary share are generally entitled to the same distributions.

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. Once the written demand is made, the holders of indebtedness or other obligations may immediately commence an action against the relevant guarantor.

Under the terms of the DLC arrangement, Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc are permitted to transfer assets between the companies, make loans to or investments in each other and otherwise enter into intercompany transactions. In addition, the cash flows and assets of one company are required to be used to pay the obligations of the other company, if necessary.

The Boards of Directors consider that, within the DLC arrangement, the most appropriate presentation of our 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, 2022 are provided to shareholders in Schedule B.

These Interim Financial Statements are required to satisfy reporting requirements of the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") 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 FCA and with International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as adopted by the UK ("IAS 34"). The Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2021, which were prepared in accordance with UK-adopted International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"). Our Interim Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars as this is our presentation currency.

Status of Financial Statements

Our Interim Financial Statements for the six months ended May 31, 2022 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 Act. Statutory accounts for the year ended November 30, 2021 were approved by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on January 26, 2022 and delivered to the Registrar of Companies. The report of the auditors on those accounts was (i)

unqualified, (ii) did not contain a material uncertainty related to going concern and (iii) did not contain any statement under section 498 of the 2006 Act.

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, 2022,86% of Carnival Corporation & plc's capacity is in guest cruise operation as part of its ongoing return to service.The extent of the effects of COVID-19 on Carnival Corporation & plc's business are uncertain and will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and continued severity of COVID-19 and the length of time it takes to return the company to profitability.COVID-19 and its ongoing effects, inflation and higher fuel pricesare collectively having a material impact on its business, including its results of operations, liquidity and financial position.

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 Carnival Corporation & plc's future liquidity requirements consist of:

• Continued ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations, with 86% of the fleet back in guest cruise operations as of May 31, 2022

• Expected increases in revenue in 2023 on a per passenger basis compared to 2019, particularly as the friction from restrictive protocols wanes

• Expected improvement in occupancy throughout 2022 and 2023

• Expected continued spend to maintain enhanced health and safety protocols and to support the ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations, including completing the return of crew members to its ships

• Expected moderation of fuel prices beginning in the second half of 2022 and continuing into 2023

• Expected inflation and supply chain challenges to continue to weigh on costs, though moderated by a larger, more efficient fleet as compared to 2019

• Maintaining collateral and reserves at reasonable levels

In addition, Carnival Corporation & plc makes certain assumptions about new ship deliveries, improvements and removals, and considers the future export credit financings that are associated with the new 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 and subsequent ongoing resumption of its guest cruise operations, and as a consequence, their ability to be predictive is uncertain. In addition, the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 global pandemic and its ongoing effects, inflation and higher fuel prices are uncertain. Carnival Corporation & plc has made reasonable estimates and judgments of the impact of these events within its consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Carnival Corporation & plc took actions to improve its liquidity, including completing various capital market transactions, capital expenditure and operating expense reductions and accelerating the removal of certain ships from its fleet. In addition, they expect to continue to pursue various capital market opportunities to extend maturities and if appropriate, obtain relevant financial covenant amendments.

Based on these actions and Carnival Corporation & plc's assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, and considering Carnival Corporation & plc's $7.5 billion of liquidity including cash, short-term investments and borrowings available under its revolving facility at May 31, 2022, as well as its continued ongoing return to service, 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.

Use of Estimates and Risks and Uncertainty

The preparation of our Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS as adopted in the UK requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and 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.

Key judgements, 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. For a detailed discussion of our key

judgements and estimates, see "Significant Accounting Judgements" and "Key areas of judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty" included in our 2021 Carnival plc Annual Report.

COVID-19

The full extent to which the effects of COVID-19 will directly or indirectly impact our business, operations, results of operations and financial condition, 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.

Climate Change

In preparing these financial statements, management has considered the expected impacts of climate change and expected impacts of achieving the Carnival Corporation & plc 2030 sustainability goals. Management has considered the expected impacts of climate change on a number of key estimates within the financial statements, including:

• Estimates related to our future liquidity requirements and viability

• Estimates of future cash flows used in the valuation of investment in subsidiaries and ships, when applicable

• Estimates related to the useful life and residual value of ships

Accounting Pronouncements

The International Accounting Standards Board ("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.

The amendments require that, for financial instruments measured using amortised cost measurement (that is, financial instruments classified as amortised cost), changes to the basis for determining the contractual cash flows required by interest rate benchmark reform are reflected by adjusting their effective interest rate. No immediate gain or loss is recognised. These expedients are only applicable to changes that are required by interest rate benchmark reform, which is the case if, and only if, the change is necessary as a direct consequence of interest rate benchmark reform and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis (that is, the basis immediately preceding the change).

Where some or all of a change in the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial liability does not meet the above criteria, the above practical expedient is first applied to the changes required by interest rate benchmark reform, including updating the instrument's effective interest rate. Any additional changes are accounted for in the normal way (that is, assessed for modification or derecognition, with the resulting modification gain / loss recognised immediately in profit or loss where the instrument is not derecognised).

In December 2021, we amended our £350 million long-term debt agreement which referenced the British Pound sterling

("GBP") LIBOR to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") and applied the practical expedient. This amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. As o f May 31, 2022, we have $51 million in long-term debt which references U.S. dollar LIBOR and matures after the transition date and have not yet transitioned to SOFR or an alternative interest rate benchmark. We are currently evaluating this contract and working with our creditors on updating credit agreements as necessary to include language regarding a successor or alternate rate to LIBOR. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements during the LIBOR transition period.

The 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. On December 1, 2021, we adopted this guidance retrospectively. This guidance did not have an impact on our financial statements and as such, prior period information was not revised.

NOTE 2 - Revenue and Expense Recognition

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.

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.

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. In certain situations, we have provided flexibility to guests by allowing guests to rebook at a future date, receive future cruise credits ("FCCs") or elect to receive refunds in cash. We have at times issued enhanced FCCs. Enhanced FCCs provide the guest with an additional credit value above the original cash deposit received, and the enhanced value is recognized as a discount applied to the future cruise in the period used. We have paid refunds of customer deposits with respect to a portion of cancelled cruises. The amount of any future cash refunds may depend on future cruise cancellations and guest rebookings. We record a liability for unexpired FCCs to the extent we have received and not refunded cash from guests for cancelled bookings. We had total customer deposits of $1.2 billion as of May 31, 2022 and $929 million as of November 30, 2021. Refunds payable to guests who have elected cash refunds are recorded in accounts payable. During the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 we recognized revenues of $0.4 billion and an immaterial amount related to our customer deposits as of November 30, 2021 and 2020. Historically, our customer deposits balance changes due to the seasonal nature of cash collections, the recognition of revenue, refunds 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. 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. These reserve funds are included in other assets.

Contract Assets

Contract assets are amounts paid prior to the start of a voyage as a result of obtaining the ticket contract and include prepaid travel agent commissions and prepaid credit and debit card fees. We record these amounts within prepaid expenses and other and subsequently recognize these amounts as commissions, transportation and other at the time of revenue recognition or at the time of voyage cancellation. We had contract assets of $30 million as of May 31, 2022 and $13 million as of November 30, 2021.

As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, Carnival Corporation's short-term borrowings consisted of $2.7 billion and $2.8 billion and Carnival plc had no short-term borrowings under the Carnival Corporation & plc's $1.7 billion, €1.0 billion and £0.2 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility"). As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc had a total availability of $0.3 billion and $0.2 billion under the Revolving Facility.

Covenant Compliance

As of May 31, 2022, Carnival Corporation & plc's Revolving Facility and substantially all of their unsecured loans and export credit facilities contain certain covenants, the most restrictive of which require Carnival Corporation & plc to:

• Maintain minimum interest coverage (adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net interest charges) at the end of each fiscal quarter from August 31, 2023, at a ratio of not less than 2.0 to 1.0 for the August 31, 2023 testing date, 2.5 to 1.0 for the November 30, 2023 testing date, and 3.0 to 1.0 for the February 29, 2024 testing date onwards, or through their respective maturity dates

• Maintain minimum shareholders' equity of $5.0 billion

• Limit our debt to capital (as defined) percentage from the November 30, 2021 testing date until the May 31, 2023 testing date, to a percentage 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 $1.5 billion through November 30, 2026

• Adhere to certain restrictive covenants through November 30, 2024

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

At May 31, 2022, Carnival Corporation & plc was in compliance with the applicable covenants under its debt agreements. Generally, if an event of default under any debt agreement occurs, then, pursuant to cross default acceleration clauses, substantially all of its 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.

NOTE 5 - Ship Commitments

At May 31, 2022, we had two 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, 2022
Fiscal
Remainder of 2022	$118
2023	977
2024	583
2025	-
Total	$1,678

NOTE 6 - 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 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.

COVID-19 Actions

Private Actions

We have been named in a number of individual actions related to COVID-19. Private parties have brought approximately seven individual lawsuits as of May 31, 2022 in several U.S. federal and state courts. 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. As of May 31, 2022, six of these individual actions have now been dismissed or settled for immaterial amounts and one remains.

Additionally, as of May 31, 2022, eight purported class actions have been brought by former guests in several U.S. federal courts and in the Federal Court in 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. As of May 31, 2022, six of these class actions have either been settled individually for immaterial amounts or had their class allegations dismissed by the courts and two remain.

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

Exchange Act of 1934 by making misrepresentations and omissions related to Carnival Corporation's COVID-19 knowledge and response. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified damages and equitable relief for the alleged misstatements and omissions. On March 30, 2022, the court granted our motion to dismiss with prejudice and no appeal was filed prior to the deadline.

We continue to take 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.

Ot her Regulatory or Governmental Inquiries and Investigations

We have been, 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 December 2020 in which an unauthorized third party gained access to certain of our information security systems, deployed ransomware, and obtained personal information related to guests, employees and crew for some of our operations. We engaged a major cybersecurity firm to investigate the matter and notified relevant law enforcement and regulators of the incident. The investigation, communication and reporting phases are complete.

We have been contacted by various regulatory agencies regarding this 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. On June 24, 2022, we finalized a settlement with NY DFS, pursuant to which we will pay an amount that will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

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 these incidents are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position or liquidity, 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.

On March 14, 2022, the United States Department of Justice and the United States Environmental Protection Agency notified Carnival Corporation & plc of potential civil penalties and injunctive relief for alleged Clean Water Act violations by owned and operated vessels covered by the 2013 Vessel General Permit. Carnival Corporation & plc is working with these agencies to reach a resolution of this matter. We do not expect this matter to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Other Contingent Obligations

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.

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, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we had $164 million and $110 million, respectively, in reserve funds related to our customer deposits provided to satisfy these requirements which are included within other assets. We continue to expect to provide reserve funds under these agreements. Additionally, as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we had no outstanding cash collateral in escrow.

NOTE 7 - Claims Reserve

We periodically assess the potential liabilities related to any lawsuits or claims brought against us, as well as for other known unasserted claims, including environmental, legal, regulatory and guest and crew matters. While it is typically very difficult to determine the timing and ultimate outcome of these matters, we use our best judgement to determine the appropriate amounts to record in our consolidated financial statements. We accrue a liability and establish a reserve when we believe a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In assessing probable losses, we make estimates of the amount of probable insurance recoveries, if any, which are recorded as assets where appropriate. Such accruals and reserves and the estimated timing of settlement are typically based on developments to date, management's estimates of the outcomes of these matters, our experience in contesting, litigating and settling other similar matters, historical claims experience, actuarially determined estimates of liabilities and any related insurance coverage. Given the inherent uncertainty related to the eventual outcome of these matters and potential insurance recoveries, it is possible that all or some of these matters may be resolved for amounts materially different from any provisions or disclosures that we may have made. In addition, as new information becomes available, we may need to reassess the amount of asset or liability that needs to be accrued related to our contingencies. All such changes in our estimates could materially impact our results of operations and financial position.

The changes in our guest, crew and other claims were as follows:

(in millions)	Claims Reserves
At November 30, 2021	$94
Additional provisions	5
Paid losses	(5)
Reversals	(11)
Exchange rates	2
At May 31, 2022	$85

NOTE 8 - 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, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Climate 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.

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.

Carnival plc - IFRS	$55	$500	$306	$395	$(1,147)

(a) 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.

(b) The U.S. GAAP vs IFRS accounting differences relate to lease accounting, pension accounting and differences in depreciation expense due to differences in the carrying value of ships. For the six months ended May 31, 2021, the U.S. GAAP vs IFRS accounting differences also related to differences in valuation of ships.

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

(in millions)		Six Months Ended May 31, 2022
Europe		$1,063
North America		53
Australia and Asia		18
Others		38
		$1,172

As a result of the pause in our guest cruise operations revenue data for the six months ended May 31, 2021 is not meaningful and is not included in the table.

NOTE 9 - Related Party Transactions

There have been no changes in the six months ended May 31, 2022 to the nature of the related party transactions described in the Group IFRS financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2021 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, repayable on demand and considered short-term in nature.

During the six months ended May 31, 2022, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises purchased land tours from us totaling $10 million. During the six months ended May 31, 2021, Holland America Line and Princess Cruises did not purchase land tours from us. In addition, during the six months ended May 31, 2022 we sold pre- and post-cruise vacations, shore excursions and transportation services to the Carnival Corporation group. 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, 2022, 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.

Carnival Corporation and its subsidiary, Carnival Investments Limited owned 39.8 million, or 18.3% at May 31, 2022 and 34.6 million or 15.9% at November 30, 2021 of Carnival plc's ordinary shares, which are non-voting.

Carnival Corporation & plc has a program that allows it to realize a net cash benefit when Carnival Corporation common stock is trading at a premium to the price of Carnival plc ordinary shares (the "Stock Swap Program"). Under the Stock Swap Program, Carnival Corporation & plc may elect to offer and sell shares of Carnival Corporation common stock at prevailing market prices in ordinary brokers' transactions and repurchase an equivalent number of Carnival plc ordinary shares in the UK market.

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 10 - 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. 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 typically earned during this period. This historical trend was disrupted in 2020 by the pause and in 2021 by the ongoing 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.

NOTE 11 - Fair Value Measurements and Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

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:

• 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.

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.

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, 2022 or November 30, 2021, and are not expected to result in any material loss.

Financial Instruments that are not Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

	May 31, 2022				November 30, 2021

(a) 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.

These interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $116 million at May 31, 2022 ($147 million at November 30, 2021) of EURIBOR-based floating rate euro debt to fixed rate euro debt. At May 31, 2022, these interest rate swaps settle through 2025.

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 12 - Government Assistance

During the six months ended May 31, 2022, the Group received government assistance under schemes provided by various governments. The total amounts recognized by the Group during the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 from these schemes was $2 million and $14 million respectively and is offset in payroll and related expense as well as selling and administrative expenses in the accompanying Statements of Income (Loss).

NOTE 13 - 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 and Emerging Risks within our 2021 Strategic Report and are summarized below. For any changes since the issuance of our 2021 Strategic Report, we have provided the detailed risk description below. The ordering and lettering of the risk factors set forth below is not intended to reflect any Company indication of priority or likelihood.

COVID-19 and Liquidity/Debt Related Risk Factors

a. COVID-19 has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our financial condition and operations. The current, and uncertain future, impact of COVID-19, 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.

b. Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial health and operating flexibility.

c. Despite our leverage, we may incur more debt, which could adversely affect our business and prevent us from fulfilling our obligations with respect to our debt.

d. We are subject to maintenance covenants, as well as restrictive debt covenants, that may limit our ability to finance future operations and capital needs and pursue business opportunities and activities. We are also subject to financial

covenants that could lead to an acceleration of the indebtedness of our debt facilities if we fail to comply. If we fail to comply with any of these covenants, it could have a material adverse effect on our business.

e. We require a significant amount of cash to service our debt and sustain our operations. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors beyond our control, and we may not be able to generate cash required to service our debt.

f. Our variable rate indebtedness exposes us to interest rate volatility, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

g. The covenants in certain of our debt facilities may require us to secure those facilities in the future.

Operating Risk Factors

a. Events and conditions around the world, including war and other military actions, such as the current invasion of Ukraine, heightened inflation and other general concerns impacting the ability or desire of people to travel have and may lead to a decline in demand for cruises, impact our operating costs and profitability.

• We have been, and may continue to be, impacted by the public's concerns regarding the health, safety and security of travel, including government travel advisories and travel restrictions, political instability and civil unrest, terrorist attacks, war and military action, most recently the current invasion of Ukraine, and other general concerns. The current invasion of Ukraine and its resulting impacts, including supply chain disruptions, increased fuel prices and international sanctions and other measures that have been imposed, have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business. These factors may also have the effect of heightening many other risks to our business, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Additionally, we have been, and may continue to be, impacted by heightened regulations around customs and border control, travel bans to and from certain geographical areas, voluntary changes to our itineraries in light of geopolitical events, government policies increasing the difficulty of travel and limitations on issuing international travel visas. We have been and may continue to be impacted by inflation and supply chain disruptions and may also be impacted by adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, such as global or regional recessions, higher unemployment and underemployment rates and declines in income levels.

b. Incidents concerning our ships, guests or the cruise vacation industry have in the past and may, in the future, impact the satisfaction of our guests and crew and lead to reputational damage.

c. 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.

d. Factors associated with climate change, including evolving and increasing regulations, increasing global concern about climate change and the shift in climate conscious consumerism and stakeholder scrutiny, and increasing frequency and/or severity of adverse weather conditions could adversely affect our business.

e. Inability to meet or achieve our sustainability related goals, aspirations, initiatives, and our public statements and disclosures regarding them, may expose us to risks that may adversely impact our business.

f. 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 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.

g. The loss of key employees, our inability to recruit or retain qualified shoreside and shipboard employees and increased labor costs could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

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

i. We rely on supply chain vendors who are integral to the operations of our businesses. These vendors and service providers are also affected by COVID-19 and may be unable to deliver on their commitments which could impact our business.

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

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

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

	c) Describe the targets used by the organisation to manage climate-related risks and opportunities and performance against targets.	26-27

Governance

The Boards of Directors have ultimate oversight of climate-related risks and opportunities and are directly supported by members of executive management. The Boards of Directors have appointed our President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") Arnold Donald to the role of Chief Climate Officer ("CCO") in January 2022. Through this role, he leads the identification of climate-related risks and opportunities and oversees how these are embedded in our strategic decision-making and risk management processes. During 2022, climate-related matters were a recurring Board discussion item.

To further support our climate-related efforts, we created a Strategic Risk Evaluation ("SRE") Committee to identify, mitigate, and monitor climate-related risks and opportunities. The SRE Committee consists of members of executive management and advisors and reports to the CCO. The SRE Committee members are David Bernstein (Chief Financial Officer), Josh Weinstein (Chief Operations Officer), Bill Burke (Chief Maritime Officer), and Stein Kruse (Advisor to the CCO & Chairman of the Boards). The primary responsibilities and common recurring activities of the SRE Committee are to:

• Recommend climate strategy, goals, and metrics to the CCO, who will make ultimate recommendations to the Boards

• Enable practical implementation of climate goals approved by the Boards

An SRE Committee Charter was adopted and five SRE Committee meetings have taken place between its creation in January 2022 and June 2022.

http://www.rns-pdf.londonstockexchange.com/rns/7122Q_1-2022-6-29.pdf

To enable the CCO and Boards of Directors to fulfil their responsibility to oversee climate-related risks and opportunities, a Board Environmental Social and Governance ("ESG") and TCFD Education Program has been established, with core education components and optional self-study courses. This ESG and TCFD Education Program has been developed with support from external advisors and the Senior Independent Director. The core education components of the Program are expected to be completed by January 2023.

Executive management is responsible for ensuring we have active plans and adequate resources to manage and/or mitigate principal and emerging financial and non-financial risks, including Health, Environmental, Safety & Security ("HESS") and compliance risks, identified by the business from the risk assessment processes that are integrated within our operations. As new risks emerge, executive management seeks to ensure they are properly reviewed and monitored. Climate-related risk management is considered part of management's responsibility.

We are continuously refining and enhancing our existing processes. During 2022, management performed a qualitative scenario analysis as described below, to further identify our climate related risks and opportunities over the short, medium and long-term. Our process for continuously identifying, assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities is being developed. Climate-related risks and opportunities are reported up to the SRE Committee. Please see pages 25-26 for details of our risk management process.

Strategy

Climate-related Risks and Opportunities

We have qualitatively applied two distinct plausible climate scenarios, which were used to generate the climate-related risks and opportunities listed below. We selected a "Steady Path to Sustainability" scenario, where an average warming is limited to below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100, and a "Regional Rivalry" scenario, where an average warming rate of 3°C above pre-industrial levels is reached by 2100 (see further detail on pages 24-25).

As part of our qualitative scenario analysis, we conducted a series of workshops with the members of the SRE committee and a cross-section of management to identify material climate-related risks and opportunities over the following time horizons:

• Present - 2025 (short-term)

• 2025 - 2035 (medium-term)

• 2035 - 2050 (long-term)

The short-term time horizon is consistent with the period we use for our Viability Statement. The medium-term time horizon aligns with our existing sustainability goals, while the long-term horizon is consistent with the useful life of our ships.

Our risks are defined as transition and physical risks. Opportunities are structured according to thematic areas of focus. Based on the outcomes of our workshops, we have initially selected three risks and two opportunities for further assessment and quantification through quantitative scenario analysis, which we are in the process of performing. Our 2022 Annual Report will include additional information on the output of our quantitative scenario analysis. Our initial selected risks and opportunities for further development and quantification are in bold in the table below:

Impacts

The impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities on the business presented in the tables above have been qualitatively assessed.

We presently consider transition risks to be the most significant in terms of likelihood and impact. The risks with the highest impact and likelihood of occurrence are associated with the transition to a low-carbon emission future, in a scenario where we have not been able to access low-carbon technology, or where these technologies do not exist and where we have reduced availability and access to fuel.

The climate-related opportunities with the highest impact are a mix of mitigation and adaptation opportunities. These include the positive impacts of supporting the (adaptation) of sustainable technological advances for our business, improved operational efficiencies from technological advancements, and more energy efficient itineraries from investing in port and destination projects.

Our short and medium-term decarbonization goals focus on reducing carbon emissions per Available Lower Berth Day ("ALBD") and carbon emissions per Available Lower Berth Kilometer ("ALB-km") and we are committed to long-term absolute carbon emissions reduction goals as part of our aspiration to be net carbon-neutral by 2050. Our ongoing efforts to achieve our 2030 goals include the delivery of larger more efficient ships as part of our ongoing newbuild program, some of which will replace existing ships in our fleet, as well as investing in energy efficiency projects for our existing fleet, designing more energy efficient itineraries and investing in port and destination projects to support these efforts. We continue to evaluate and implement changes to our various annual planning processes to further expand our focus on decarbonization.

The actions we are taking via our strategy and financial planning processes to manage the impacts of climate-related risks and opportunities are listed below.

Newbuild Program and Supporting Innovation

As part of our plan for carbon footprint reduction, we lead the cruise industry's use of Liquid Natural Gas ("LNG") powered cruise ships with a total of 11 next-generation cruise ships that are expected to join the fleet through 2025, including six ships already in operation as of May 31, 2022. In total, these 11 ships are expected to represent 20% of our total future capacity. Whilst LNG is a fossil fuel and generates carbon emissions, LNG vessels generate up to 20% less carbon emissions than traditionally powered ships, while almost eliminating sulfur oxides, reducing nitrogen oxides by 85% and particulate matter by 95%-100%. The types of engines that we use are subject to small amounts of methane slip (the passage of un-combusted methane through the engine). There are different views relating to the measurement of the environmental impact of LNG, including the methane slip. Our disclosures report our emissions, including methane slip, as part of our total carbon emissions (reported as CO2e) using the 100-year global warming potential time frame and measured on a "tank to wake" basis. We are working closely with our engine manufacturers and other technology providers to mitigate methane slip.

While fossil fuels are currently the only viable option for our industry, we are closely monitoring technology developments and partnering with key organizations on research and development to support our carbon emission reduction goals. For example, we are partnering to evaluate and pilot maritime scale battery technology and methanol powered fuel cells and working with classification societies and other stakeholders to assess lower carbon fuel options for cruise ships including hydrogen, methanol, eLNG, and biofuels. We are promoting the use of shore power, enabling ships to use shoreside electric power where available while in port.

The Mærsk McKinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping is a not-for-profit, independent research and development center working with industry players across the energy and shipping sectors to mature viable decarbonization pathways for shipping globally. Together with its partners, the Center facilitates the development and implementation of new energy and maritime technologies and accelerates the transition by defining strategic ways to drive the required systemic and regulatory change. In January 2021, we became a mission ambassador to the Center's work through a formalized network and information flow. Joining the Mærsk McKinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping is another important step in establishing a path to zero emission cruising over time.

Investing in projects that improve energy efficiency

Energy efficiency projects are specifically identified, reviewed, and approved as part of capital planning. An Internal Decarbonization Premium is being added to the cost of fuel during the planning process and is used to evaluate the payback period and return on investment for projects. The non-newbuild capital plan process is being enhanced by closer monitoring of spend related to energy efficiency projects. Additionally, approved capital spend for energy efficiency projects cannot be reallocated to projects that are not energy efficiency related without CCO approval.

Designing more energy efficient itineraries

We continue to evaluate and implement changes to our various annual planning processes to further support our focus on decarbonization. Itinerary planning is a key lever in our low carbon transition and consideration of climate risk is already integrated into the ongoing process of itinerary planning. This process is being enhanced through the recently adopted Corporate Itinerary Decarbonization Reviews which evaluate the itinerary planning process of each brand, focused on topics and metrics related to decarbonization to ensure the processes are robust and adequately focus on carbon reduction.

Investing in port and destination projects

Other strategic decisions, including how and where to invest in new infrastructure, are informed by climate-related risks and opportunities and will be further informed by the outputs of our quantitative scenario analysis. A climate study was undertaken for two of our port investments at Grand Port (Grand Bahama Island) and Half Moon Cay Pier Project (Bahamas), to enhance climate resilience. Furthermore, our investments in these ports and destinations will support our efforts to design more energy efficient itineraries based on their strategic locations.

Scenario Analysis

We have qualitatively applied two distinct plausible climate scenarios, which were used to generate the risks and opportunities assessed.

Steady path to sustainability (1.5°C by 2100)

Climate: Average temperature increase limited to below 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

Narrative overview: Under the 1.5°C Steady Path to Sustainability scenario, the world takes the rapid and strong policy measures required to meet the ambition of the 2015 Paris Agreement. Low carbon technologies take over from fossil-fuels, but under this scenario significantly reduced economic growth is just as important for reaching net zero emissions by 2050.

Under this scenario, transition risks are most material and our resilience is therefore dependent on our ability to effectively adopt low carbon technologies. This will help us to adhere to increasing decarbonization requirements set out by key drivers identified in a low-carbon transition scenario, including existing and emerging regulation, consumer preferences, and talent markets. Ultimately, the availability and effective adoption of low carbon technologies, most notably in the alternative fuels and resource efficiency spaces, could impact our organization. As a result, our most impactful opportunity is the enhancement of our reputation and competitiveness, by supporting the adaptation of sustainable technological advances for the cruise industry. This will also further help us to mitigate the risks associated with access to jurisdictions, access to capital and adherence to regulation.

Regional Rivalry (3°C by 2100)

Climate: Average temperature increase of 3°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

Narrative overview: The 3°C scenario explores a possible route in which the world is seeing an emergence of tribalism and nationalism. Low international priority for addressing environmental concerns leads to strong environmental degradation in some regions. The combination of impeded development and limited environmental concern results in poor progress toward climate sustainability. Growing resource intensity and fossil fuel dependency along with difficulty in achieving international cooperation and slow technological change imply high challenges to mitigation.

This scenario presents a higher emissions future where physical risks are most material. Business resilience under this scenario is dependent on our ability to adapt to extreme weather events and chronic physical risks, which have the potential to limit access to jurisdictions and impact supply chain resilience due to economic and physical damage. Under this scenario we can remain resilient by taking advantage of opportunities to adapt the business model to support business continuity. These adaptions may include ship or private locations becoming the destination, as well as adapting itineraries and investing in port and destination projects.

Risk Management

The qualitative scenario analysis is the foundation of our climate-risk identification and assessment process and began with the evaluation of all possible climate-related risks we may face, to generate an initial list of possible risks. Input from key stakeholders in the business was obtained through workshops to identify additional climate risks and opportunities and refine the list before prioritizing the list of risks and opportunities identified. Assessment of these risks was performed by the SRE committee and a cross section of management, who qualitatively evaluated the impact and likelihood of these risks and opportunities. Certain financial, regulatory and reputational risks and opportunities, as described on pages 22-23, were then selected for more detailed quantitative scenario analysis.

Executive management is responsible for ensuring we have active plans and adequate resources to manage and/or mitigate principal and emerging financial and non-financial risks, including HESS and compliance risks, identified by the business from the risk assessment processes that are integrated within our operations. As new risks emerge, executive management seeks to ensure they are properly reviewed and monitored.

We are continuously refining and enhancing our existing processes. The SRE Committee was established to oversee the identification, assessment, management, and monitoring of climate-related risks and opportunities. They provide recommendations to the CCO, who ultimately provides recommendations to the Boards of Directors. Our process for continuously identifying, assessing and managing climate-related risks and opportunities is being further developed, and we will include a description of this process in our 2022 Annual Report .

Overall, the Boards of Directors are responsible for determining the strategic direction of the company and the nature and extent of the risk assumed by it. The Boards of Directors carry out a robust risk assessment to ensure that principal and emerging risks, including those that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity are effectively managed and/or

mitigated to help ensure the company is viable. Within our risk management framework, the Boards of Directors have ultimate oversight of climate-related risks, which has been identified as a principal risk, please see the Governance pillar for description of how climate related risks are overseen.

Metrics and Targets

Metrics

The metrics which are currently used in addressing our climate-related risks and opportunities are disclosed below. Please see the Strategy pillar for a list of our most likely and most impactful risks and opportunities, which have been raised through our risk identification and assessment process. The SRE committee recommends metrics to the CCO, who will make ultimate recommendations to the Boards, as described on page 20.

Our Scope 1 and 2 emissions are reported within our 2021 Annual Report. We quantify, report, and obtain third-party verification (under ISO-14064-3:2006) over our annual greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions, including our direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2) emissions, which comprise our total GHG inventory. Our 2022 GHG emissions will be included in our 2022 Annual Report as part of our reporting requirements. We are also assessing and baselining our scope 3 emissions in 2022 and expect to begin disclosing scope 3 emissions data in the future.

Targets

We have made progress over the past 15 years reducing our carbon emission intensity and achieving our 2020 goal three years early (in 2017). We have also made progress towards our 2030 carbon intensity reduction goals of 40% from a 2008 baseline, measured in both grams of CO2e per ALB-km and kilograms of CO2e per ALBD. Through 2019, we reduced our carbon emission intensity on a lower berth distance basis by 25% relative to 2008 all while growing our capacity by 47%. Furthermore, because of our efforts, we peaked our absolute Scope 1 and 2 emissions in 2011.

We decided to update the baseline year for both goals to 2019 from 2008. This new baseline year will help us better communicate recent progress against our climate goals to our investors and stakeholders, and modernizes our disclosures in alignment with developing best practice and reporting standards. Both 2030 goals require a 20% decrease from 2019. With the updated baseline year, we have strengthened our goal measured in kilograms of CO2e per ALBD since the initial 2030 goal would only have required a further 15% reduction from 2019 levels. Our goal measured in grams of CO2e per ALB-km remains the same.

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, 2022, 86% of our capacity was in guest cruise operation as part of our ongoing return to service. The extent of the effects of COVID-19 on our business are uncertain and will depend on future developments, including, but not limited to, the duration and continued severity of COVID-19 and the length of time it takes to return the company to profitability. COVID-19 and its ongoing effects, inflation and higher fuel prices are collectively having a material impact on our business, including our results of operations, liquidity and financial position.

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:

• Continued ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations, with 86% of the fleet back in guest cruise operations as of May 31, 2022

• Expected increases in revenue in 2023 on a per passenger basis compared to 2019, particularly as the friction from restrictive protocols wanes

• Expected improvement in occupancy throughout 2022 and 2023

• Expected moderation of fuel prices beginning in the second half of 2022 and continuing into 2023

• Expected inflation and supply chain challenges to continue to weigh on costs, though moderated by a larger, more efficient fleet as compared to 2019

• Maintaining collateral and reserves at reasonable levels

In addition, we make certain assumptions about new ship deliveries, improvements and removals, and consider the future export credit financings that are associated with the new 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 and subsequent ongoing resumption of our guest cruise operations, and as a consequence, our ability to be predictive is uncertain. In addition, the magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 global pandemic and its ongoing effects, inflation and higher fuel prices are uncertain. We have made reasonable estimates and judgments of the impact of these events within our consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. We took actions to improve our liquidity, including completing various capital market transactions, capital expenditure and operating expense reductions and accelerating the removal of certain ships from our fleet. In addition, we expect to continue to pursue various capital market opportunities to extend maturities and if appropriate, obtain relevant financial covenant amendments.

Based on these actions and our assumptions regarding the impact of COVID-19, considering our $7.5 billion of liquidity including cash, short-term investments and borrowings available under our revolving facility at May 31, 2022, as well as our continued ongoing return to service, 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, 2022 and 2021, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021 and the Consolidated Balance Sheet at May 31, 2022 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 2021 joint Annual Report on Form 10-K ("Form 10-K") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on January 27, 2022.

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

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU No. 2020-04"), which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to accounting guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease entities' financial reporting burdens as the market transitions from the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates. ASU 2020-04 is effective upon issuance and can be applied through December 31, 2022. The use of LIBOR was phased out at the end of 2021, although the phase-out of U.S. dollar LIBOR for existing agreements has been delayed until June 2023. We continue to monitor developments related to the LIBOR transition and identification of an alternative, market-accepted rate.

In December 2021, we amended our £350 million long-term debt agreement which referenced the British Pound sterling ("GBP") LIBOR to the Sterling Overnight Index Average ("SONIA") and applied the practical expedient. This amendment did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. As of May 31, 2022, approximately $8.5 billion of our outstanding indebtedness bears interest at floating rates referenced to U.S. dollar LIBOR with maturity dates extending beyond June 30, 2023. We are currently evaluating our contracts referenced to U.S. dollar LIBOR and working with our creditors on updating credit agreements as necessary to include language regarding the successor or alternate rate to LIBOR. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements during the LIBOR transition period.

The FASB 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 and advance onboard purchases 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.

Passenger ticket revenues include fees, taxes and charges collected by us from our guests. The fees, taxes and charges that vary with guest head counts and are directly imposed on a revenue-producing arrangement are 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 $96 million and $164 million in 2022 and were $5 million and $12 million in 2021. 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.

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. In certain situations, we have provided flexibility to guests by allowing guests to rebook at a future date, receive future cruise credits ("FCCs") or elect to receive refunds in cash. We have at times issued enhanced FCCs. Enhanced FCCs provide the guest with an additional credit value above the original cash deposit received, and the enhanced value is recognized as a discount applied to the future cruise in the period used. We have paid refunds of customer deposits with respect to a portion of cancelled cruises. The amount of any future cash refunds may depend on future cruise cancellations and guest rebookings. We record a liability for unexpired FCCs to the extent we have received and not refunded cash from guests for cancelled bookings. We had total customer deposits of $5.1 billion as of May 31, 2022 and $3.5 billion as of November 30, 2021. Refunds payable to guests who have elected cash refunds are recorded in accounts payable. During the six months ended May 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized revenues of $1.4 billion and an immaterial amount related to our customer deposits as of November 30, 2021 and 2020. Historically, our customer deposits balance changes due to the seasonal nature of cash collections, the recognition of revenue, refunds of customer deposits and foreign currency translation.

Contract Receivables

Contract Assets

Contract assets are amounts paid prior to the start of a voyage as a result of obtaining the ticket contract and include prepaid travel agent commissions and prepaid credit and debit card fees. We record these amounts within prepaid expenses and other and subsequently recognize these amounts as commissions, transportation and other at the time of revenue recognition or at the time of voyage cancellation. We had contract assets of $208 million as of May 31, 2022 and $55 million as of November 30, 2021.

NOTE 3 - Debt

Short-Term Borrowings

As of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, our short-term borrowings consisted of $2.7 billion and $2.8 billion under our $1.7 billion, €1.0 billion and £0.2 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Facility").

Export Credit Facility Borrowings

During the six months ended May 31, 2022, we borrowed $2.3 billion under export credit facilities due in semi-annual installments through 2034.

2030 Senior Unsecured Notes

In May 2022, we issued an aggregate principal amount of $1.0 billion senior unsecured notes that mature on June 1, 2030 (the "2030 Senior Unsecured Notes"). The 2030 Senior Unsecured Notes bear interest at a rate of 10.5% per year.

Covenant Compliance

As of May 31, 2022, our Revolving Facility and substantially all of our unsecured loans and export credit facilities contain certain covenants, the most restrictive of which require us to:

• Maintain minimum shareholders' equity of $5.0 billion

• Maintain minimum liquidity of $1.5 billion through November 30, 2026

• Adhere to certain restrictive covenants through November 30, 2024

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

At May 31, 2022, 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.

Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc and certain of our subsidiaries have guaranteed substantially all of our indebtedness.

As of May 31, 2022, the scheduled maturities of our debt are as follows:

(in millions)
Year		Principal Payments
3Q 2022		$397
4Q 2022		943
2023		2,837
2024 (a)		4,705
2025		4,415
2026		4,512
Thereafter		18,116
Total		$35,925

(a) Includes borrowings of $2.7 billion under our Revolving Facility. Amounts outstanding under our Revolving Facility were drawn in 2020 for an initial six-month term. We may continue to re-borrow or otherwise utilize available amounts under the Revolving Facility through August 2024, subject to satisfaction of the conditions in the facility. We had $0.3 billion available for borrowing under our Revolving Facility as of May 31, 2022. The Revolving 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 unutilized portion.

NOTE 4 - Contingencies and Commitments

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.

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 Corporation "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. In the matter filed by Havana Docks Corporation, the hearings on motions for summary judgment were concluded on January 18, 2022. On March 21, 2022, the court granted summary judgment in favor of Havana Docks Corporation as to liability. The amount of damages will be determined at trial. On March 30, 2022, we filed a motion seeking clarification on a portion of the court's order granting summary judgment as to liability. On May 9, 2022, the court granted the motion for clarification, vacating the portion of the March 21, 2022 order that had granted summary judgment in favor of plaintiff upon our Fifth Amendment affirmative defense. On March 30, 2022, we also filed a motion for interlocutory appeal and to stay. On May 13, 2022, the court denied this motion. The court has moved the trial date to September 19, 2022. In the matter filed by Javier Bengochea on December 20, 2021, the court issued an order inviting an amicus brief from the U.S. government on several issues involved in the appeal. The U.S. government filed its brief and the court ordered the parties to respond. On May 6, 2022 we filed our response brief. We continue to believe we have a meritorious defense to these actions and we believe that any final liability which may arise as a result of these actions is unlikely to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As previously disclosed, on April 8, 2020, DeCurtis LLC ("DeCurtis"), a former vendor, filed an action against Carnival Corporation in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida seeking declaratory relief that DeCurtis is not infringing on several of Carnival Corporation's patents in relation to its OCEAN Medallion systems and technology. The action also raises certain monopolization claims under The Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, unfair competition and tortious interference, and seeks declaratory judgment that certain Carnival Corporation patents are unenforceable. DeCurtis seeks damages, including its fees and costs, and seeks declarations that it is not infringing and/or that Carnival Corporation's patents are unenforceable. On April 10, 2020, Carnival Corporation filed an action against DeCurtis in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida for breach of contract, trade secrets violations and patent infringement. Carnival Corporation seeks damages, including its fees and costs, as well as an order permanently enjoining DeCurtis from engaging in such activities. These two cases have now been consolidated in the Southern District of Florida. On April 25, 2022, we moved for summary judgment on our breach of contract claims and on all of DeCurtis's claims. DeCurtis also filed a motion for summary judgment on certain portions of our claims. Both motions for summary judgment are fully briefed. We believe the ultimate outcome will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

COVID-19 Actions

Private Actions

We have been named in a number of individual actions related to COVID-19. Private parties have brought approximately 73 individual lawsuits as of May 31, 2022 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. As of May 31, 2022, 63 of these individual actions have now been dismissed or settled for immaterial amounts and 10 remain.

Additionally, as of May 31, 2022, 10 purported class actions have been brought by former guests from Ruby Princess, Diamond Princess, Grand Princess, Coral Princess and 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. As of May 31, 2022, eight of these class actions have either been settled individually for immaterial amounts or had their class allegations dismissed by the courts and two remain.

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

As previously disclosed, on December 15, 2020, a consolidated class action with 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, alleging violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 by making misrepresentations and omissions related to Carnival Corporation's COVID-19 knowledge and response. Plaintiffs seek to recover unspecified damages and equitable relief for the alleged misstatements and omissions. On March 30, 2022, the court granted our motion to dismiss with prejudice and no appeal was filed prior to the deadline.

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

Governmental Inquiries and Investigations

Ot her Regulatory or Governmental Inquiries and Investigations

We responded to a cybersecurity event in May 2019 related to our email accounts, and detected ransomware attacks in August 2020 and December 2020, each of which resulted in unauthorized access to our information technology systems. We engaged a major cybersecurity firm to investigate these matters and notified relevant law enforcement and regulators of these incidents.

• For the May 2019 event, the investigation, communication and reporting phases are complete. An unauthorized third-party gained access to certain email accounts, which contained personal information relating to some guests, employees and crew for some of our operations.

• For the August 2020 and December 2020 events, the investigation, communication and reporting phases are complete. An unauthorized third-party gained access to certain of our information security systems, deployed ransomware and obtained personal information related to guests, employees and crew for some of our operations.

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. On June 24, 2022, we finalized a settlement with NY DFS, pursuant to which we will pay an amount that will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, State Attorneys General from 46 states have completed their investigation of the May 2019 event. On June 22, 2022, we finalized a settlement with the State Attorneys General from these 46 states, pursuant to which we will pay an amount that will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other Contingent Obligations

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, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we had $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion in reserve funds related to our customer deposits provided to satisfy these requirements which are included within other assets. We continue to expect to provide reserve funds under these agreements. Additionally, as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, we had $30 million of cash collateral in escrow which is included within other assets.

Ship Commitments

As of May 31, 2022, we expect the timing of our new ship growth capital commitments to be as follows:

(in millions) Year
Remainder of 2022	$1,535
2023	2,422
2024	1,608	(a)
2025	927	(a)

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

Valuation of Goodwill and Trademarks

The determination of the fair value of our reporting units' goodwill and trademarks includes numerous estimates and underlying assumptions that are subject to various risks and uncertainties. At May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, goodwill for our North America and Australia ("NAA") segment was $579 million. We had no goodwill for our Europe and Asia ("EA") segment at May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021.

Exchange movements	-	(13)	(13)
May 31, 2022	$927	$234	$1,161

Impairment of Ships

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate potential impairment. As a result of the continued effect of COVID-19 on our business, and our updated expectations of the estimated selling values for certain of our ships, we determined that a ship had a net carrying value that exceeded its estimated discounted future cash flows as of February 28, 2022. We compared the estimated selling value to the net carrying value and, as a result, recognized ship impairment charges as summarized in the table below during the first quarter of 2022. The principal assumption used in our cash flow analyses was the timing of the sale and its proceeds, which is considered a Level 3 input. We believe that we have made reasonable estimates and judgments as part of our assessment. A change in the principal assumptions, which influences the determination of fair value, may result in a need to perform additional impairment reviews.

The impairment charges summarized in the table below are included in ship and other impairments in our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss).

(a) At May 31, 2022, we had cross currency swaps totaling $665 million that are designated as hedges of our net investment in foreign operations with euro-denominated functional currencies. At May 31, 2022, these cross currency swaps settle through 2027.

(b) We have interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges whereby we receive floating interest rate payments in exchange for making fixed interest rate payments. These interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $116 million at May 31, 2022 and $160 million at November 30, 2021 of EURIBOR-based floating rate euro debt to fixed rate euro debt. At May 31, 2022, 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, when applicable.

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 consider hedging certain of our ship commitments and net investments in foreign operations. The financial impacts of our hedging instruments generally offset the changes in the underlying exposures being hedged.

Operational Currency Risks

Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar, Euro, Sterling or the Australian dollar 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, 2022, we have designated $442 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, 2022, we recognized $28 million and $25 million of gains on these non-derivative net investment hedges in the cumulative translation adjustment section of other comprehensive income (loss). We also have euro-denominated debt, including the effect of cross currency swaps, 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.

At May 31, 2022, 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 $5.6 billion for newbuilds scheduled to be delivered through 2025.

The cost of shipbuilding orders that we may place in the future that are 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, reserve funds related to customer deposits, 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, 2022, 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 9 - Property and Equipment

Ship Sales

During 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell one NAA segment ship and completed the sales of one NAA segment ship and one EA segment ship, which collectively represent a passenger-capacity reduction of 4,110 for our NAA segment and 1,410 for our EA segment.

Refer to Note 5 - "Fair Value Measurements, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Financial Risks, Nonfinancial Instruments that are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis, Impairment of Ships" for additional discussion.

NOTE 10 - Shareholders' Equity

We have a program that allows us to realize a net cash benefit when Carnival Corporation common stock is trading at a premium to the price of Carnival plc ordinary shares (the "Stock Swap Program").

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, under the Stock Swap Program, we sold 3.9 million and 5.2 million of Carnival Corporation's common stock and repurchased the same amount of Carnival plc ordinary shares, resulting in net proceeds of $6 million and $8 million, which were used for general corporate purposes. During the three and six months ended May 31, 2021, there were no sales or repurchases under the Stock Swap Program.

Additionally, during the three and six months ended May 31, 2022, we sold 0.8 million and 1.6 million shares of Carnival Corporation common stock at an average price per share of $18.54 and $19.27, resulting in net proceeds of $15 million and $30 million.

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," "aspiration," "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, COVID-19. 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. The current, and uncertain future, impact of COVID-19, 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.

• Events and conditions around the world, including war and other military actions, such as the current invasion of Ukraine, heightened inflation and other general concerns impacting the ability or desire of people to travel have and may lead to a decline in demand for cruises, impact our operating costs and profitability.

• Incidents concerning our ships, guests or the cruise vacation industry 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.

• Factors associated with climate change, including evolving and increasing regulations, increasing global concern about climate change and the shift in climate conscious consumerism and stakeholder scrutiny, and increasing frequency and/or severity of adverse weather conditions could adversely affect our business.

• Inability to meet or achieve our sustainability related goals, aspirations, initiatives, and our public statements and disclosures regarding them, may expose us to risks that may adversely impact our business.

• 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 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.

• The loss of key employees, our inability to recruit or retain qualified shoreside and shipboard employees and increased labor costs could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

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

• We rely on supply chain vendors who are integral to the operations of our businesses. These vendors and service providers are also affected by COVID-19 and may be unable to deliver on their commitments which could impact our business.

• 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. Forward-looking and other statements in this document may also address our sustainability progress, plans and goals (including climate change and environmental-related matters). In addition, historical, current and forward-looking sustainability-related statements may be based on standards for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions that are subject to change in the future.

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

Known Trends and Uncertainties

• We believe the increased cost of fuel, liquefied natural gas ("LNG") and other related costs are reasonably likely to continue to impact our profitability in both the short and long-term.

• We expect inflation and supply chain challenges to continue to weigh on our operating costs, and they are reasonably likely to continue to impact our profitability.

• We believe the increasing global focus on climate change, including the reduction of carbon emissions and new and evolving regulatory requirements, is reasonably likely to materially impact our future costs, capital expenditures and revenues and/or the relationship between them. The full impact of climate change to our business is not yet known.

• In addition, as is the case with the travel and leisure sector generally, we are experiencing some challenges with onboard staffing which have resulted in occupancy constraints on certain voyages and are reasonably likely to impact our profitability in the short-term.

• We expect a net loss for the third quarter of 2022. For the full year 2022, we continue to expect a net loss.

Notes to Statistical Information

(a) PCD represents the number of cruise passengers on a voyage multiplied by the number of revenue-producing ship operating days for that voyage.

(b) ALBD is a standard measure of passenger capacity for the period that we use to approximate rate and capacity variances, based on consistently applied formulas that we use to perform analyses to determine the main non-capacity driven factors that cause our cruise revenues and expenses to vary. ALBDs assume that each cabin we offer for sale accommodates two passengers and is computed by multiplying passenger capacity by revenue-producing ship operating days in the period.

(c) Occupancy, in accordance with cruise industry practice, is calculated using a numerator of PCDs and denominator of ALBDs, which assumes two passengers per cabin even though some cabins can accommodate three or more passengers. Percentages in excess of 100% indicate that on average more than two passengers occupied some cabins.

(d) Fuel consumption in metric tons per thousand ALBDs for 2021 is not meaningful.

We paused our guest cruise operations in March 2020. As of May 31, 2022, 86% of our capacity was in guest cruise operation, compared to 6% as of May 31, 2021. Our NAA segment had 90% of its capacity in guest cruise operations as of May 31, 2022 and no ships operating with guests onboard as of May 31, 2021. Our EA segment had 81% of its capacity in guest cruise operations as of May 31, 2022, compared to 16% as of May 31, 2021 when it had five ships operating with guests onboard.

The COVID-19 global pandemic and its ongoing effects, inflation and higher fuel prices are collectively having a material negative impact on all aspects of our business, including our results of operations, liquidity and financial position. The full extent of these impacts are uncertain.

Three Months Ended May 31, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended May 31, 2021

Revenues

Consolidated

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 54% of our total revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2022 while onboard and other revenues made up 46%. Revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2022 increased by $2.4 billion as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021 due to the ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and the significant increase of ships in service. ALBDs increased to 16.7 million for the three months ended May 31, 2022 as compared to 0.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021. Occupancy for the three months ended May 31, 2022 was 69% compared to 31% for the three months ended May 31, 2021.

NAA Segment

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 52% of our NAA segment's total revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2022 while onboard and other cruise revenues made up 48%. NAA segment revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2022 increased by $1.7 billion as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021 due to the ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and the significant increase of ships in service. ALBDs increased to 10.1 million for the three months ended May 31, 2022 as compared to 0.0 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021. Occupancy for the three months ended May 31, 2022 was 79%.

EA Segment

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 74% of our EA segment's total revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2022 while onboard and other cruise revenues made up 26%. EA segment revenues for the three months ended May 31, 2022 increased by $0.6 billion as compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021 due to the ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and the significant increase of ships in service. ALBDs increased to 6.6 million for the three months ended May 31, 2022 as compared to 0.4 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021. Occupancy for the three months ended May 31, 2022 was 53% compared to 31% for the three months ended May 31, 2021.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Consolidated

Operating costs and expenses increased by $2.0 billion to $2.7 billion for the three months ended May 31, 2022 from $0.7 billion for the three months ended May 31, 2021. These increases were driven by our ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and restart related expenses, including the cost of returning ships to guest cruise operations and returning crew members to our ships, higher number of dry-dock days, the cost of maintaining enhanced health and safety protocols, inflation and supply chain disruptions. We anticipate that some of these costs and expenses will end in 2022.

Fuel costs increased by $432 million to $545 million for the three months ended May 31, 2022 from $113 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021. This increase was caused by higher fuel consumption of 386 thousand metric tons, due to the resumption of guest cruise operations, and an increase in fuel prices of $402 per metric ton consumed for the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $201 million to $619 million for the three months ended May 31, 2022 from $417 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021. This increase was caused by increased advertising and promotional spend incurred as part of our ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and higher administrative expenses.

There were no ship impairment charges for the three months ended May 31, 2022. We recognized a ship impairment charge of $49 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021.

The drivers in changes in costs and expenses for our NAA and EA segments are the same as those described for our consolidated results.

Nonoperating Income (Expense)

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest decreased by $67 million to $370 million for the three months ended May 31, 2022 from $437 million for the three months ended May 31, 2021. The decrease was caused by a lower average interest rate as a result of completed refinancing efforts and was partially offset by a higher average debt balance for the three months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended May 31, 2021.

Six Months Ended May 31, 2022 Compared to Six Months Ended May 31, 2021

Revenues

Consolidated

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 54% of our total revenues for the six months ended May 31, 2022 while onboard and other revenues made up 46%. Revenues for the six months ended May 31, 2022 increased by $3.9 billion as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021 due to the ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and the significant increase of ships in service. ALBDs increased to 30.0 million for the six months ended May 31, 2022 as compared to 0.6 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021. Occupancy for the six months ended May 31, 2022 was 62% compared to 27% for the six months ended May 31, 2021.

NAA Segment

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 52% of our NAA segment's total revenues for the six months ended May 31, 2022 while onboard and other cruise revenues made up 48%. NAA segment revenues for the six months ended May 31, 2022 increased by $2.8 billion as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021 due to the ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and the significant increase of ships in service. ALBDs increased to 18.8 million for the six months ended May 31, 2022 as compared to 0.0 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021. Occupancy for the six months ended May 31, 2022 was 70%.

EA Segment

Cruise passenger ticket revenues made up 74% of our EA segment's total revenues for the six months ended May 31, 2022 while onboard and other cruise revenues made up 26%. EA segment revenues for the six months ended May 31, 2022 increased by $1.1 billion as compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021 due to the ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and the significant increase of ships in service. ALBDs increased to 11.2 million for the six months ended May 31, 2022 as compared to 0.6 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021. Occupancy for the six months ended May 31, 2022 was 50% compared to 27% for the six months ended May 31, 2021.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Consolidated

Operating costs and expenses increased by $3.5 billion to $4.7 billion for the six months ended May 31, 2022 from $1.2 billion for the six months ended May 31, 2021. These increases were driven by our ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations and restart related expenses, including the cost of returning ships to guest cruise operations and returning crew members to our ships, higher number of dry-dock days, the cost of maintaining enhanced health and safety protocols, inflation and supply chain disruptions. We anticipate that some of these costs and expenses will end in 2022.

Fuel costs increased by $694 million to $910 million for the six months ended May 31, 2022 from $216 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021. The increase was caused by higher fuel consumption of 690 thousand metric tons, due to the resumption of guest cruise operations, and an increase in fuel prices of $336 per metric ton consumed for the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021.

Selling and administrative expenses increased by $0.3 billion to $1.1 billion for the six months ended May 31, 2022 from $0.9 billion for the six months ended May 31, 2021. The increase was principally driven by higher advertising and promotional spend incurred as part of our ongoing resumption of guest cruise operations.

We recognized a ship impairment charge of $8 million for the six months ended May 31, 2022 and a ship impairment charge of $49 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021.

The drivers in changes in costs and expenses for our NAA and EA segments are the same as those described for our consolidated results.

Nonoperating Income (Expense)

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest, decreased by $97 million to $738 million for the six months ended May 31, 2022 from $835 million for the six months ended May 31, 2021. The decrease was caused by a lower average interest rate as a result of completed refinancing efforts and was partially offset by a higher average debt balance for the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the six months ended May 31, 2021.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources

As of May 31, 2022, we had $7.5 billion of liquidity including cash, short-term investments and borrowings available under our Revolving Facility. During 2022, we will continue to be focused on pursuing various capital market opportunities to extend maturities and if appropriate, obtain relevant financial covenant amendments.

We had a working capital deficit of $4.8 billion as of May 31, 2022 compared to working capital deficit of $0.3 billion as of November 30, 2021. The increase in working capital deficit was caused by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, an increase in customer deposits and an increase in current portion of long-term debt. 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 $4.8 billion and $3.1 billion of customer deposits as of May 31, 2022 and November 30, 2021, respectively. We have paid refunds of customer deposits with respect to a portion of cancelled cruises. The amount of any future cash refunds may depend on future cruise cancellations and guest rebookings. 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. In addition, we have a relatively low-level of accounts receivable and limited investment in inventories.

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 $1.2 billion of net cash flows in operating activities during the six months ended May 31, 2022, a decrease of $1.7 billion, compared to $2.9 billion of net cash flows used for the same period in 2021. This decrease was due to an increase in cash inflows from customer deposits during the six months ended May 31, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021.

We plan to use future cash flows from operations to fund our cash requirements including capital expenditures not funded by our export credit facilities.

(in billions)		2022		2023		2024
Future export credit facilities at May 31, 2022		$0.8		$1.7		$0.6

Our export credit facilities contain various financial covenants as described in Note 3 - "Debt". At May 31, 2022, 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 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

For a discussion of our hedging strategies and market risks, see the discussion below and Note 10 - "Fair Value Measurements, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities and Financial Risks" in our consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations within our Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Risks

The composition of our debt, after the effect of cross currency swaps (designated as hedges of net investments) and interest rate swaps, was as follows:

	May 31, 2022
Fixed rate	44%
EUR fixed rate	16%
Floating rate	24%
EUR floating rate	14%
GBP floating rate	1%

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, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Climate Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded, as of May 31, 2022, 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, 2022 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" and "Other Regulatory or Governmental Inquiries and Investigations," 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.

As previously disclosed, Princess Cruises entered into a plea agreement in December 2016 with the U.S. Department of Justice, which resulted in a five-year term of probation that started in 2017 and the adoption of a court-supervised environmental compliance plan. On April 18, 2022, the probation period ended and the court-supervised environmental compliance plan terminated.

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.

Operating Risk Factors

We have been, and may continue to be, impacted by the public's concerns regarding the health, safety and security of travel, including government travel advisories and travel restrictions, political instability and civil unrest, terrorist attacks, war and military action, most recently the current invasion of Ukraine, and other general concerns. The current invasion of Ukraine and its resulting impacts, including supply chain disruptions, increased fuel prices and international sanctions and other measures that have been imposed, have adversely affected, and may continue to adversely affect, our business. These factors may also have the effect of heightening many other risks to our business, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business and results of operations. Additionally, we have been, and may continue to be, impacted by heightened regulations around customs and border control, travel bans to and from certain geographical areas, voluntary changes to our itineraries in light of geopolitical events, government policies increasing the difficulty of travel and limitations on issuing international travel visas. We have been and may continue to be impacted by inflation and supply chain disruptions and may also be impacted by adverse changes in the perceived or actual economic climate, such as global or regional recessions, higher unemployment and underemployment rates and declines in income levels.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

I. Stock Swap Program

We have a program that allows us to realize a net cash benefit when Carnival Corporation common stock is trading at a premium to the price of Carnival plc ordinary shares. Under the Stock Swap Program, we may elect to offer and sell shares of Carnival Corporation common stock at prevailing market prices in ordinary brokers' transactions and repurchase an equivalent number of Carnival plc ordinary shares in the UK market.

Under the Stock Swap Program effective June 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the sale of up to $500 million shares of Carnival Corporation common stock in the U.S. market and the purchase of Carnival plc ordinary shares on at least an equivalent basis.

We may in the future implement a program to allow us to obtain a net cash benefit when Carnival plc ordinary shares are trading at a premium to the price of Carnival Corporation common stock.

Any sales of Carnival Corporation common stock and Carnival plc ordinary shares have been or will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. During the three months ended May 31, 2022, under the Stock Swap Program, we sold 3.9 million shares of Carnival Corporation's common stock and repurchased the same amount of Carnival plc ordinary shares, resulting in net proceeds of $6 million, which were used for general corporate purposes. Since the beginning of the Stock Swap Program, first authorized in June 2021, we have sold 14.1 million shares of Carnival Corporation's common stock and repurchased the same amount of Carnival plc ordinary shares, resulting in net proceeds of $27 million.

Period	Total Number of Shares of Carnival plc Ordinary Shares Purchased (a) (in millions)	Average Price Paid per Share of Carnival plc Ordinary Share	Maximum Number of Carnival plc Ordinary Shares That May Yet Be Purchased Under the Carnival Corporation Stock Swap Program (in millions)
March 1, 2022 through March 31, 2022	-	$-	8.2
April 1, 2022 through April 30, 2022	1.1	$17.52	7.1
