NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 –


For 2024, we reclassified $ million from other to greenhouse gas regulatory expense in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform to the current year presentation.

Brand Realignment

In March 2025, we sunset the P&O Cruises (Australia) brand and folded its operations into Carnival Cruise Line.

NOTE 2 –

 million and $ million. The proceeds that we collect from the sales of third-party shore excursions are included in onboard and other revenues and the related expenses are included in onboard and other expenses. 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.

Fees, taxes and charges that vary with guest head counts are expensed in commissions, transportation and other expenses when the corresponding revenues are recognized. 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. We had total customer deposits of $ billion as of May 31, 2025 and $ billion as of November 30, 2024. During the six months ended May 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized revenues of $ billion and $ billion related to our customer deposits as of November 30, 2024 and 2023. Our customer deposits balance changes due to the seasonal nature of cash collections, which typically results from higher ticket prices and occupancy levels during the third quarter, the recognition of revenue, refunds of customer deposits and foreign currency changes.

Trade and Other 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 have receivables from credit card merchants and travel agents for cruise ticket purchases and onboard revenue. These receivables are included within trade and other receivables, net and are less allowances for expected credit losses.

Contract Costs

We recognize incremental travel agent commissions and credit and debit card fees incurred as a result of obtaining the ticket contract as assets when paid prior to the start of a voyage. 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 incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers recognized as assets of $ million as of May 31, 2025 and $ million as of November 30, 2024.

Revolving Facility

As of May 31, 2025, Carnival Holdings II had $ billion available for borrowing under the Revolving Facility.

New Revolving Facility

In June 2025, Carnival Corporation and Carnival plc entered into a $ billion unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility (“New Revolving Facility”). The New Revolving Facility replaced the Revolving Facility of Carnival Holdings II. The New Revolving Facility matures in June 2030 and contains an accordion feature, allowing for up to $ billion of additional revolving commitments. We may borrow or utilize available amounts under the New Revolving Facility through June 2030, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions in the facility.

Borrowings under the New Revolving Facility will bear interest at a rate of term SOFR, EURIBOR, or daily compounding SONIA, as applicable, plus a margin based on the long-term credit ratings of Carnival Corporation. In addition, we are required to pay certain fees on the aggregate commitments under the New Revolving Facility.

Repricing of Senior Secured Term Loans

In January 2025, we entered into amendments with the lender syndicate to reprice the outstanding principal amounts of our first-priority senior secured term loan facility maturing in 2027 and our first-priority senior secured term loan facility maturing

2030 Senior Unsecured Notes

2033 Senior Unsecured Notes

In February 2025, we issued $ billion aggregate principal amount of % senior unsecured notes due 2033. We used the net proceeds from the issuance, together with cash on hand, to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the % senior priority notes due 2028.

2031 Senior Unsecured Notes

In May 2025, we issued $ billion aggregate principal amount of % senior unsecured notes due 2031. We used the net proceeds from the issuance, together with cash on hand, to redeem the outstanding principal amount of the % senior unsecured notes due 2026.

Debt Extinguishment and Modification Costs

During the three and six months ended May 31, 2025, we recognized a total of $ million and $ million of debt extinguishment and modification costs, including $ million of premium paid on redemption during the six months ended May 31, 2025, within our Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss) as a result of the above transactions.

Export Credit Facility Borrowings

Our export credit facilities are due in semi-annual installments through 2037. As of May 31, 2025, we had $ billion of undrawn export credit facilities to fund ship deliveries planned through 2033. As of May 31, 2025, the net book value of our ships subject to negative pledges pursuant to export credit facilities was $ billion.

Collateral and Priority Pool

As of May 31, 2025, the net book value of our ships and ship improvements, excluding ships under construction, is $ billion. Our secured debt is secured on a first-priority basis by certain collateral, which includes ships and certain assets related to those ships and material intellectual property (combined net book value of approximately $ billion, including $ billion related to ships and certain assets related to those ships) as of May 31, 2025 and certain other assets.

As of May 31, 2025, $ billion in net book value of our ship and ship improvements relate to the priority pool ships included in the priority pool of unencumbered ships (the “Revolving Facility Subject Ships”) for our Revolving Facility. As of May 31, 2025, there was change in the identity of the Revolving Facility Subject Ships.

Covenant Compliance

As of May 31, 2025, our Revolving Facility, unsecured loan and export credit facilities contain certain covenants listed below:

Maintain minimum interest coverage (adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net interest charges, as defined in the agreements) as follows:
For our export credit facilities and our Revolving Facility, at a ratio of not less than to 1.0 for the May 31, 2025 testing date, at a ratio of not less than to 1.0 for the August 31, 2025 and November 30, 2025 testing dates, and at a ratio of not less than to 1.0 for the February 28, 2026 testing date onwards and as applicable through their respective maturity dates
For our unsecured loan, at a ratio of not less than to 1.0 for the May 31, 2025 testing date through the maturity date
For certain of our unsecured loan and export credit facilities, maintain minimum issued capital and consolidated reserves (as defined in the agreements) of $ billion
Limit our debt to capital (as defined in the agreements) percentage to a percentage not to exceed %
Maintain minimum liquidity of $ billion

 million plus $ million in fees and costs. We appealed. On October 22, 2024, the Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit reversed the District Court’s judgment against us. On March 6, 2025, Havana Docks filed a petition for certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States and we responded. Following resolution of that petition, the case will be remanded to the District Court for further proceedings. We believe the ultimate outcome of this matter will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of May 31, 2025, purported class actions brought against us by former guests in the Federal Court in Australia and in Italy remain pending, as previously disclosed. These actions include 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 our ships. On October 24, 2023, the court in the Australian matter held that we were liable for negligence and for breach of consumer protection warranties as it relates to the lead plaintiff. The court ruled that the lead plaintiff was not entitled to any pain and suffering or emotional distress damages on the negligence claim and awarded medical costs. In relation to the consumer protection warranties claim, the court found that distress and disappointment damages amounted to no more than the refund already provided to guests and therefore made no further award. Further proceedings will determine the applicability of this ruling to the remaining class participants. On March 31, 2025, the court in the Italian matter returned a ruling rejecting most of the plaintiffs’ claims and awarding a half-price fare reduction for certain passengers. Plaintiffs have appealed the ruling. We continue to take actions to defend against the above claims. We believe the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

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 range from inadvertent events to malicious motivated attacks.

(a)We have interest rate swaps whereby we receive floating interest rate payments in exchange for making fixed interest rate payments. These interest rate swap agreements effectively changed $ billion at May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024 of SOFR-based variable rate debt to fixed rate debt. As of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, the SOFR-based interest rate swaps settle through 2027 and were designated as cash flow hedges. At November 30, 2024, we had a EURIBOR-based interest rate swap that was not designated as a cash flow hedge and effectively changed $ million of EURIBOR-based floating rate euro debt to fixed rate euro debt. The EURIBOR-based interest rate swap matured in March 2025.

Our derivative contracts include rights of offset with our counterparties. As of May 31, 2025 and November 30, 2024, we did not have any counterparties with multiple derivative contracts.

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 statements concerning future results, operations, strategy, 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.
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. These factors include, but are not limited to, the following:
Events and conditions around the world, including geopolitical uncertainty, war and other military actions, pandemics, inflation, higher fuel prices, higher interest rates and other general concerns impacting the ability or desire of people to travel could lead to a decline in demand for cruises as well as have significant negative impacts on our financial condition and operations.
Incidents concerning our ships, guests or the cruise industry may negatively 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-money laundering, anti-corruption, economic sanctions, trade protection, labor and employment, and tax may be costly and lead to litigation, enforcement actions, fines, penalties and reputational damage.
Factors associated with climate change, including evolving and increasing regulations, increasing concerns about climate change and the shift in climate conscious consumerism and stakeholder scrutiny, and increasing frequency and/or severity of adverse weather conditions could have a material impact on our business.
Inability to meet or achieve our targets, goals, aspirations, initiatives, and our public statements and disclosures regarding them, including those related to sustainability matters, may expose us to risks that may adversely impact our business.
Cybersecurity incidents and data privacy breaches, 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 have adversely impacted and may in the future materially adversely impact our business operations, the satisfaction of our guests and crew and may lead to fines, penalties and reputational damage.
The loss of key team members, our inability to recruit or retain qualified shoreside and shipboard team members 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 suppliers who are integral to the operations of our businesses. These suppliers and service providers may be unable to deliver on their commitments, which could negatively 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 negatively impact 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.
We require a significant amount of cash to service our debt and sustain our operations. Our ability to generate cash depends on many factors, including those beyond our control, and we may not be able to generate cash required to service our debt and sustain our operations.
Our substantial debt could adversely affect our financial health and operating flexibility.

22

Table of Content
The ordering of the risk factors set forth above is not intended to reflect our indication of priority or likelihood. Additionally, many of these risks and uncertainties are currently, and in the future may continue to be, amplified by our substantial debt balance incurred during the pause of our guest cruise operations. There may be additional risks that we consider immaterial or which are unknown.

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- and climate-related statements may be based on standards and tools for measuring progress that are still developing, internal controls and processes that continue to evolve, and assumptions and predictions that are subject to change in the future and may not be generally shared.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 - General, Accounting Pronouncements of the consolidated financial statements for additional discussion regarding Accounting Pronouncements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that is included in the Form 10-K.

Seasonality

Our passenger ticket revenues are seasonal. 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. Our results are also impacted by ships being taken out-of-service for planned maintenance, which we schedule during non-peak seasons. In addition, substantially all of Holland America Princess Alaska Tours’ revenue and operating income is generated from May through September in conjunction with Alaska’s cruise season.

Known Trends and Uncertainties

We believe the volatility in the cost of fuel is reasonably likely to impact our profitability in both the short and long-term.
We believe the increasing focus on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and new and evolving related regulatory requirements, are reasonably likely to have a material negative impact on our future financial results. We became subject to the EU Emissions Trading System (“ETS”) on January 1, 2024, which includes a three-year phase-in period. The impact of this regulation in 2024 was $46 million, which represented costs associated with 40% of emissions under the ETS operational scope. In 2025, 70% of emissions under the ETS scope will be impacted, and in 2026, all in scope emissions will be impacted.

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 Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer have evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures and have concluded, as of May 31, 2025, that they are effective to provide 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, 2025 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.

To the extent disclosure is required by Part II. Item 1 of Form 10-Q, the legal proceedings described in Note 4 – “Contingencies and Commitments” of our consolidated financial statements, including those described under “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 for such proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

The risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” included in the Form 10-K, and there has been no material change to these risk factors since the Form 10-K filing. These risks should be carefully considered, and 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.

Item 5. Other Information.
