Public Statements Risk

2

Carnival and its CEO, Josh Weinstein, do not make many public statements, and Weinstein keeps a low profile. Most recent controversy identified occurred in 2017 and was about environmental issues and dumping oil from their ships. The company kept relatively quiet and paid a $40 million fine.

Political Contributions Risk

2

Contributions are evenly split between political parties with a slight red lean, most of which comes from senior executive donations. None of the recipients stand out as risky. Carnival is in the middle of the pack in terms of both total donations and partisan lean in the Hotels, Resorts, and Cruise Lines industry.

Political Dichotomy Risk

3

Contributions are fairly evenly dispursed, likely in-line with the company's customers. 66% of guests carried last year were from the U.S. or Canada. 10-K discusses risks including gender diversity of employees and senior management, "climate conscious consumerism", changing environmental regulations, and DEI. An inability to meet established sustainability goals is a notable risk. Additionally, the firm's "substantial debt" makes it vulnerable to boycotts. Since Carnival sells on its brand, any press about their environmental impact or contributions could lead to a significant impact.

Associational Risk

1

Research revealed no news about the company's politics or associations, and no negative news about C-suite executives. The only potential concern was a clash with Governor Ron DeSantis regarding the need for vaccinations during the pandemic.

Brand Visibility Risk

4

Carnival has a large search volume and social media following and sells based on its brand. As a cruise company, controversy leaves them highly exposed, as customers are putting a large level of faith in the brand.

Political Hazard (pH) Ratings Explained

A corporation’s Political Hazard Rating, or pH rating, is an overall assessment of the corporation’s likelihood of facing a material consumer boycott or investor backlash from a controversy caused by the company’s or its executives’ political activities and proclivities. The pH ratings range from 1 to 5, with a higher rating correlating with higher risk. The categories below are the components considered when setting a company’s pH rating.

Public Statements Risk

Rates the corporation based on its executives’ and the corporations’ own prior public political statements, including their frequency and whether they have tended to be, or actually have been, controversial or high-profile.

Political Dichotomy Risk

Rates the corporation based on the dichotomy, if any, between the executives’ and/or corporations’ own prior political contributions or statements and the likely political leaning of the corporation’s consumer base.

Political Contributions Risk

Rates the corporation based on the magnitude of the executives’ and/or corporations’ total political contributions to politicians and PACs, benchmarked to sector, and the weighted nature of those contributions as between political parties.

Associational Risk

Rates the corporation based on its executives’ and/or the corporation’s own prior political contributions and/or public association with particularly controversial people or high-profile politicians or PACs.

Brand Visibility Risk

Rates the corporation's risk relative to sector with higher risk being associated with higher brand visibility
