CARNIVAL CORPORATION & PLC
NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Knowledge within the beneath desk is in contrast towards 2019 as it’s the latest 12 months of full operations since 2021 and 2020 have been impacted by the pause and resumption of visitor cruise operations.

Consolidated cruise prices per ALBD, adjusted cruise prices per ALBD and adjusted cruise prices excluding gas per ALBD have been computed by dividing cruise prices, adjusted cruise prices and adjusted cruise prices excluding gas by ALBD as follows:

Non-GAAP Monetary Measures

We use adjusted web earnings (loss), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings per share as non-GAAP monetary measures of the corporate’s monetary efficiency. We use adjusted cruise prices per ALBD and adjusted cruise prices excluding gas per ALBD as non-GAAP monetary measures of our cruise segments’ monetary efficiency. These non-GAAP monetary measures are offered together with U.S. GAAP cruise prices per ALBD and U.S. GAAP web earnings (loss).

We consider that positive aspects and losses on ship gross sales, impairment fees, positive aspects and losses on debt extinguishments, restructuring prices and sure different positive aspects and losses usually are not a part of our core working enterprise and usually are not a sign of our future earnings efficiency. Subsequently, we consider it’s extra significant for these things to be excluded from our web earnings (loss) and earnings per share, and accordingly, we current adjusted web earnings (loss) and adjusted earnings per share excluding this stuff as further info to buyers.

We consider that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA gives further info to buyers about our working profitability by excluding sure positive aspects and bills that we consider usually are not a part of our core working enterprise and usually are not a sign of our future earnings efficiency in addition to excluding curiosity, taxes and depreciation and amortization. As well as, we consider that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA gives further info to buyers about our means to function our enterprise in compliance with the covenants set forth in our debt agreements. We outline adjusted EBITDA as adjusted web earnings (loss) adjusted for (i) curiosity, (ii) taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. There are materials limitations to utilizing adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA doesn’t have in mind sure important objects that instantly have an effect on our web earnings (loss). These limitations are greatest addressed by contemplating the financial results of the excluded objects independently, and by contemplating adjusted EBITDA at the side of web earnings (loss) as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Adjusted cruise prices per ALBD and adjusted cruise prices excluding gas per ALBD allow us to separate the influence of predictable capability or ALBD adjustments from worth and different adjustments that have an effect on our enterprise. We consider these non-GAAP measures present helpful info to buyers and expanded perception to measure our value efficiency as a complement to our U.S. GAAP consolidated monetary statements. Adjusted cruise prices per ALBD and adjusted cruise prices excluding gas per ALBD are the measures we use to observe our means to manage our cruise segments’ prices moderately than cruise prices per ALBD. We exclude our most vital variable prices, that are journey agent commissions, value of air and different transportation, sure different prices which can be instantly related to onboard and different revenues and credit score and debit card charges, in addition to gas expense to calculate adjusted cruise prices with out gas. Considerably all of our adjusted cruise prices excluding gas are largely mounted, aside from the influence of adjusting costs as soon as the variety of ALBDs has been decided.

The presentation of our non-GAAP monetary info isn’t meant to be thought of in isolation from, as substitute for, or superior to the monetary info ready in accordance with U.S. GAAP. It’s attainable that our non-GAAP monetary measures might not be precisely corresponding to the like-kind info offered by different firms, which is a possible danger related to utilizing these measures to match us to different firms.

Reconciliation of Forecasted Knowledge

We’ve not offered a reconciliation of forecasted U.S. GAAP gross cruise prices to forecasted adjusted cruise prices, excluding gas or forecasted U.S. GAAP web earnings (loss) to forecasted adjusted EBITDA or forecasted adjusted web earnings (loss) as a result of preparation of significant U.S. GAAP forecasts of gross cruise prices and web earnings (loss) would require unreasonable effort. We’re unable to foretell, with out unreasonable effort, the longer term motion of overseas trade charges and gas costs. We’re unable to find out the longer term influence of positive aspects and losses on ship gross sales, impairment fees, positive aspects and losses on debt extinguishments, restructuring prices and sure different non-core positive aspects and losses.

Fixed Greenback and Fixed Foreign money

Our operations primarily make the most of the U.S. greenback, Australian greenback, euro and sterling as purposeful currencies to measure outcomes and monetary situation. Practical currencies apart from the U.S. greenback topic us to overseas forex translational danger. Our operations even have revenues and bills which can be in currencies apart from their purposeful forex, which topic us to overseas forex transactional danger.

We report adjusted cruise prices excluding gas per ALBD on a “fixed forex” foundation assuming the 2022 intervals’ forex trade charges have remained fixed with the 2019 intervals’ charges. These metrics facilitate a comparative view for the adjustments in our enterprise in an atmosphere with fluctuating trade charges.

Fixed greenback reporting removes solely the influence of adjustments in trade charges on the interpretation of our operations.

Fixed forex reporting removes the influence of adjustments in trade charges on the interpretation of our operations (as in fixed greenback) plus the transactional influence of adjustments in trade charges from revenues and bills which can be denominated in a forex apart from the purposeful forex.

Examples:

• The interpretation of our operations with purposeful currencies apart from U.S. greenback to our U.S. greenback reporting forex ends in decreases in reported U.S. greenback revenues and bills if the U.S. greenback strengthens towards these foreign exchange and will increase in reported U.S. greenback revenues and bills if the U.S. greenback weakens towards these foreign exchange.
• Our operations have income and expense transactions in currencies apart from their purposeful forex. If their purposeful forex strengthens towards these different currencies, it reduces the purposeful forex revenues and bills. If the purposeful forex weakens towards these different currencies, it will increase the purposeful forex revenues and bills.
