A copy of this press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. This information shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and is not incorporated by reference into any filing of either Carnival Corporation or Carnival plc, whether made before or after the date of this report, regardless of any general incorporation language in the filing.

**Section 7 - <u>Regulation FD Disclosure</u>**

**Item 7.01 - <u>Regulation FD Disclosure</u>.**

On September 29, 2025, pursuant to the indenture, dated as of November 18, 2022 (the "Convertible Notes Indenture"), by and among Carnival Corporation (the "Company"), Carnival plc, the other guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, the Company issued a notice of redemption for the entire outstanding principal amount of its 5.75% convertible senior notes due 2027 (the "Convertible Notes") to be redeemed on December 5, 2025 (the "Redemption Date") at a redemption price equal to 100.0% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

As a result of the Company's call for redemption of the Convertible Notes, the Convertible Notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 3, 2025, the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the Redemption Date (the "Conversion Period").

On September 26, 2025, the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) of the Convertible Notes was 74.6714 shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes. Because of the Company's call for redemption of the Convertible Notes, holders of the Convertible Notes electing to convert their Convertible Notes during the Conversion Period are entitled to 2.5589 additional shares of the Company's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes converted.

The settlement method for the Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion will be Combination Settlement (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture), with a Specified Dollar Amount (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) of $442.0960 per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes and the remainder settled in shares of the Company's common stock in accordance with the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture. Assuming all of the Convertible Notes are converted, the total amount of cash paid to the holders will be $500 million. Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Notes Indenture, the total number of shares of the Company's common stock to be issued will depend on the market price of the Company's common stock during the observation period that will be used to determine the total settlement amount.

This redemption is a continuation of the Company's strategy to deleverage and reduce interest expense. This current report does not constitute a notice of redemption with respect to the Convertible Notes.

The Company is furnishing the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K to comply with Regulation FD. Such information shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, and shall not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any of the Company's filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

## Exhibit 99.1

**<u>Exhibit 99.1</u>**

**<u>CARNIVAL CORPORATION & PLC ACHIEVES ALL-TIME HIGH FINANCIAL RESULTS WITH NET INCOME OF $1.9 BILLION (ADJUSTED NET INCOME OF $2 BILLION)</u>**

***Exceeds guidance and raises full year 2025 outlook for the third time this year***

MIAMI (September 29, 2025) - Carnival Corporation & plc (NYSE/LSE: CCL; NYSE: CUK) announced financial results for the third quarter 2025 and provided an updated outlook for the full year and an outlook for the fourth quarter 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Achieved all-time high net income**<sup>1</sup> **of $1.9 billion and adjusted net income**<sup>1,2</sup> **of $2.0 billion.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Raised full year 2025 adjusted net income guidance for the third quarter in a row due to improved net yields**<sup>2</sup> **and effective cost & balance sheet management; now expected to be up nearly 55 percent year over year.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Delivered record revenues**<sup>1</sup> **of $8.2 billion, a record for the tenth consecutive quarter, and all-time high net yields**<sup>1</sup> **(in constant currency) outperforming June guidance due to strong close-in demand.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Cumulative advanced booked position for 2026 remains strong, in line with 2025 record levels and at historical high prices (in constant currency).**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**• Refinanced $4.5 billion of debt during the quarter, simplifying its capital structure and prepaid an additional $0.7 billion of debt.** 

"This was a phenomenal quarter delivering all-time high net income and our tenth consecutive quarter of record revenues. Strong demand and onboard spending drove a 4.6% improvement in net yields (in constant currency), all of which was achieved on a same ship basis," commented Carnival Corporation & plc's Chief Executive Officer Josh Weinstein.

"Adjusted return on invested capital<sup>2,3</sup> reached 13% for the first time in nearly 20 years, a clear testament to the continued improvement in our operational execution—driven not only by consistently strong performance from Carnival Cruise Line and AIDA, but also great advancement across the rest of our portfolio of world class brands," Weinstein added.

"We also welcomed our game changing new exclusive destination, Celebration Key, to rave guest reviews and overwhelming media coverage. It joins our unparalleled footprint of seven Caribbean gems that are set to host eight million guest visits next year. And as beaches are the number one preferred destination for vacationing Americans, our miles upon miles of some of the most beautiful beaches in the world are well-positioned to attract even more first-time cruisers while offering our loyal guests yet another great reason to come back soon," Weinstein continued.

"Even with our rapid progress, we believe we have ample opportunity to increase same ship net yields and further close the unbelievable price-to-value gap versus land based vacation alternatives, pushing margins and returns even higher over time," Weinstein said.

**<u>Third Quarter 2025 Results</u>**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Record net income<sup>1</sup> of $1.9 billion, or $1.33 diluted EPS, an improvement of $116 million compared to 2024, surpassing the previous record set in 2019.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Record adjusted net income<sup>1</sup> of $2.0 billion, or $1.43 adjusted EPS<sup>2</sup>, outperformed June guidance by $182 million led by strong close-in demand and effective cost management, surpassing the previous record set in 2019 by nearly 10 percent.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Record adjusted EBITDA<sup>1,2</sup> of $3.0 billion.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Record revenues<sup>1</sup> of $8.2 billion, up over $250 million compared to the prior year on lower capacity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ Gross margin yields were 6.4 percent higher than 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;◦ All-time high net yields (in constant currency) were 4.6 percent higher than 2024 and outperformed June guidance by 1.1 points.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cruise costs per available lower berth day ("ALBD") increased 4.6 percent compared to 2024. Adjusted cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD<sup>2</sup> (in constant currency) increased 5.5 percent compared to 2024, 1.5 points better than June guidance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Fuel consumption per ALBD decreased 5.2 percent compared to the prior year due to the company's efforts and investments to continuously improve the energy efficiency of its operations.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Record third quarter customer deposits of $7.1 billion surpassed the previous record at August 31, 2024.

**<u>Bookings</u>** 

"Since May, booking trends have continued to strengthen with higher booking volumes than last year and far outpacing capacity growth. This momentum affirms the success of our brands' demand generation efforts and the amazing experiences we continue to deliver, driving excess demand and ongoing pricing strength. With nearly half of 2026 booked, which is in line with 2025 record levels (at the same time last year) but now at historical high prices (in constant currency) for both our North America and Europe segments, we have built a strong base of business for next year. Looking further ahead, 2027 is already off to a great start, achieving record booking volumes during the third quarter," Weinstein noted.

**<u>2025 Outlook</u>** 

For the full year 2025, the company expects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net yields (in constant currency) up approximately 5.3 percent compared to 2024, 0.3 percentage points better than June guidance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD (in constant currency) up approximately 3.3 percent compared to 2024, better than June guidance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted net income up nearly 55 percent compared to 2024 and better than June guidance by $235 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $7.05 billion, up 15 percent compared to 2024 and better than June guidance.

For the fourth quarter of 2025, the company expects:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Net yields (in constant currency) up approximately 4.3 percent compared to record 2024 levels, consistent with the company's prior expectation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Adjusted net income up over 60 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2024.

See "Guidance" for additional information on the company's 2025 outlook, "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" and "Reconciliation of Forecasted Data."

**<u>Financing</u>**

"With our current refinancing strategy nearly complete, we've continued taking decisive actions to strengthen our balance sheet by simplifying our capital structure, reducing interest expense and managing our future debt maturities," commented Carnival Corporation & plc's Chief Financial Officer David Bernstein. "This year alone, we've opportunistically refinanced over $11 billion of debt and prepaid another $1 billion. With that and today's redemption notice for all our outstanding convertible notes—which if converted will be settled with a mix of cash and equity—we're closing in on our near-term target of reaching investment grade leverage metrics. Our focus is now on driving our net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio to under 3x as we continue boosting our financial strength."

During the quarter, the company continued its refinancing strategy to reduce interest expense and manage its maturity towers, while reducing secured debt by nearly $2.5 billion. The company successfully issued two senior unsecured notes: $1.2 billion at 4.125 percent due in 2031 and $3.0 billion at 5.75 percent due in 2032. In addition, the company entered into a $400 million loan. The combined proceeds from these financings, together with cash on hand, were used to repay over $5 billion of debt. These transactions reflect the company's continued focus on strengthening its capital structure and enhancing its financial flexibility.

During the quarter, Moody's upgraded the company's credit rating and maintained a positive outlook. The company believes this is a reflection of its improved leverage metrics and its strong momentum.

The company ended the quarter with $26.5 billion of total debt. As of August 31, 2025, the company's debt maturities for the fourth quarter of 2025 and full year 2026 are $0.3 billion and $1.4 billion. The company achieved a 3.6x net debt to adjusted EBITDA<sup>1</sup> ratio as of August 31, 2025, an improvement from 4.7x as of August 31, 2024.

**<u>Other Recent Highlights</u>** 

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Successfully opened Celebration Key, the company's new exclusive destination on Grand Bahama Island, featuring the largest freshwater lagoon in the Caribbean and the world's largest swim up bar.

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.

Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements that relate to our outlook and financial position, as well as, statements regarding:

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 debt could adversely affect our financial health and operating flexibility.

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

***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 a 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.

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

<u>Adjusted net income (loss)</u> and <u>adjusted earnings per share</u> provide additional information to us and investors about our future earnings performance by excluding certain gains, losses and expenses that we believe are not part of our core operating business and are not an indication of our future earnings performance. We believe that gains and losses on ship sales, impairment charges, debt extinguishment and modification costs, restructuring costs and certain other gains, losses and expenses are not part of our core operating business and are not an indication of our future earnings performance.

<u>Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA per ALBD and adjusted EBITDA margin</u> provide additional information to us and investors about our core operating profitability, including on a per ALBD basis, by excluding certain gains, losses and expenses that we believe are not part of our core operating business and are not an indication of our future earnings performance as well as excluding interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization. In addition, we believe that the presentation of adjusted EBITDA provides additional information to us and investors about our ability to operate our business in compliance with the covenants set forth in our debt agreements. We define adjusted EBITDA as adjusted net income (loss) adjusted for (i) interest, (ii) taxes and (iii) depreciation and amortization. There are material limitations to using adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA does not take into account certain significant items that directly affect our net income (loss). These limitations are best addressed by considering the economic effects of the excluded items independently and by considering adjusted EBITDA in conjunction with net income (loss) as calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We define adjusted EBITDA margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues.

<u>Net debt to adjusted EBITDA</u> provides additional information to us and investors about our overall leverage. We define net debt to adjusted EBITDA as total debt less cash and cash equivalents excluding a minimum cash balance divided by twelve-month adjusted EBITDA.

<u>Net yields</u> enable us and investors to measure the performance of our cruise segments on a per ALBD basis. We use adjusted gross margin rather than gross margin to calculate net yields. We believe that adjusted gross margin is a more meaningful measure in determining net yields than gross margin because it reflects the cruise revenues earned net of only our most significant variable costs, which are travel agent commissions, cost of air and other transportation, certain other costs that are directly associated with onboard and other revenues and credit and debit card fees.

<u>Adjusted cruise costs per ALBD</u> and <u>adjusted cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD</u> enable us and investors to separate the impact of predictable capacity or ALBD changes from price and other changes that affect our business. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to us and investors and expanded insight to measure our cost performance. Adjusted cruise costs per ALBD and adjusted cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD are the measures we use to monitor our ability to control our cruise segments' costs rather than cruise costs per ALBD. We exclude gains and losses on ship sales, impairment charges, restructuring costs and certain other gains and losses that we believe are not part of our core operating business as well as excluding our most significant variable costs, which are travel agent commissions, cost of air and other

------

transportation, certain other costs that are directly associated with onboard and other revenues and credit and debit card fees. We exclude fuel expense to calculate adjusted cruise costs excluding fuel. The price of fuel, over which we have no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period cost performance. The adjustment to exclude fuel provides us and investors with supplemental information to understand and assess the company's non-fuel adjusted cruise cost performance. Substantially all of our adjusted cruise costs excluding fuel are largely fixed, except for the impact of changing prices once the number of ALBDs has been determined.

<u>Adjusted ROIC</u> provides additional information to us and investors about our operating performance relative to the capital we have invested in the company. We define adjusted ROIC as the twelve-month adjusted net income (loss) before interest expense and interest income divided by the monthly average of debt plus equity minus construction-in-progress, excess cash, goodwill and intangibles.

**Reconciliation of Forecasted Data** 

We have not provided a reconciliation of forecasted non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures because preparation of meaningful U.S. GAAP forecasts would require unreasonable effort. We are unable to predict, without unreasonable effort, the future movement of foreign exchange rates and fuel prices. We are unable to determine the future impact of gains and losses on ship sales, impairment charges, debt extinguishment and modification costs, restructuring costs and certain other non-core gains and losses.

**Constant Currency**

Our operations primarily utilize the U.S. dollar, Australian dollar, euro and sterling as functional currencies to measure results

and financial condition. Functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar subject us to foreign currency translational risk. Our operations also have revenues and expenses that are in currencies other than their functional currency, which subject us to foreign currency transactional risk.

Constant currency reporting removes the impact of changes in exchange rates on the translation of our operations plus the transactional impact of changes in exchange rates from revenues and expenses that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

We report adjusted gross margin, net yields, adjusted cruise costs excluding fuel and adjusted cruise costs excluding fuel per ALBD on a "constant currency" basis assuming the current periods' currency exchange rates have remained constant with the prior periods' rates. These metrics facilitate a comparative view for the changes in our business in an environment with fluctuating exchange rates.

*<u>Examples:</u>*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• The translation of our operations with functional currencies other than U.S. dollar to our U.S. dollar reporting currency results in decreases in reported U.S. dollar revenues and expenses if the U.S. dollar strengthens against these foreign currencies and increases in reported U.S. dollar revenues and expenses if the U.S. dollar weakens against these foreign currencies.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Our operations have revenue and expense transactions in currencies other than their functional currency. If their functional currency strengthens against these other currencies, it reduces the functional currency revenues and expenses. If the functional currency weakens against these other currencies, it increases the functional currency revenues and expenses.
