“Our strong cash flow growth enabled us to launch our current share buyback program, repurchasing over $450 million of stock
to date, reinforcing our commitment to accelerate shareholder returns. At the same time, we continued to responsibly invest in
return-generating programs across our fleet and exclusive destinations, while further strengthening our financial position. We
achieved a net debt to adjusted EBITDA1 ratio of 3.1x—more than half a point improvement from just one year ago. The
continued momentum of our financial performance was recognized by Moody's with a credit rating upgrade and a continued
positive outlook,” commented Carnival Corporation’s Chief Financial Officer David Bernstein.
During the quarter, the company distributed $207 million in dividends, bringing the year to date total to $414 million.
