1 Discontinued operations – Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited Spin-Off: On May 6, 2025, Costamare completed the spin-off of its dry bulk business (consisting of its dry bulk owned fleet and its dry bulk operating platform, Costamare Bulkers Inc. (“CBI”)) into a standalone public company, Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited (NYSE: CMDB). Accordingly, the results of the dry bulk business are presented as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for all relevant periods presented. Discontinued operations for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 include the results of the dry bulk business through May 6, 2025. There are no results of discontinued operations for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 or the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026. Accordingly, results of discontinued operations are not comparable between the respective nine-month periods.
2 Adjusted Net Income from Continuing operations available to common stockholders and respective per share figures are non-GAAP measures and should not be used in isolation or as substitutes for Costamare’s financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For the definition and reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please refer to Exhibit I.
3 Liquidity includes cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) and short-term investments in U.S. Treasury Bills amounting to $19.8 million.
4 As of October 27, 2026. Please refer to the Containership Fleet List table for additional information on vessel employment details for our containership fleet.
5 Calculated on a TEU basis. Includes two secondhand containerships agreed to be acquired, but excludes the 22 vessels under
construction and the two vessels we have agreed to sell.
6 For 16 of our vessels under construction the related post-delivery time charter rates are denominated in a currency other than US dollars. US dollar amounts presented herein have been translated at the closing exchange rate on October 27, 2026, and are shown for presentation purposes only.
7 Includes the contracted revenues of 22 vessels under construction and the two secondhand containerships agreed to be acquired.
8 Includes assets funded and contractual commitments as of October 27, 2026.
Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Financial Officer of Costamare Inc., commented:
“During the third quarter of the year, the Company generated Net Income of approximately $88 million. Total liquidity amounted to $733 million.
We have finalized the previously announced bilateral debt refinancing agreements for a total of $1.3 bn and we expect to finalize an additional financing arrangement of c. $90 million during Q4. With that, we will have concluded the refinancing program of our existing fleet. The new agreements provide interest cost savings with no debt maturity till 2030.
Regarding the market, the number of idle ships remains at low levels of below 1%, indicating a fully employed market. Tight supply and demand economics are the result of both the shortage of prompt ships and robust cargo demand, which show no signs of fading. The fast-rising number of shipping services returning to the Suez Canal has not yet affected market fundamentals.
On our charter coverage, 100% and 99% of our containership fleet is fixed for 2026 and 2027, respectively, while contracted revenues have reached approximately $6.0 billion with a TEU-weighted duration of 5.8 years.
Finally, with respect to Neptune Maritime Leasing, where we hold a controlling interest, 47 shipping assets have been funded or are on a commitment status basis and total investments and commitments are exceeding $650 million.”

(1) Accrued charter revenue represents the difference between cash received during the period and voyage revenue recognized on a straight-line basis. In the early years of a charter with escalating charter rates, voyage revenue will exceed cash received during the period and during the last years of such charter cash received will exceed voyage revenue recognized on a straight-line basis. The reverse is true for charters with descending rates.
(2) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis represents Voyage revenue after adjusting for (i) non-cash “Accrued charter revenue” recorded under charters with escalating or descending charter rates, (ii) amortization of time charter assumed and (iii) amortization of deferred revenue. However, Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is useful to investors because it presents the charter revenue for the relevant period based on the then current daily charter rates.
(3) Adjusted Net Income from Continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income from Continuing operations to Adjusted Net Income from Continuing operations and Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations.
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of these financial measures additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures can provide additional meaningful reflection of underlying trends of the business because they provide a comparison of historical information that excludes certain items that impact the overall comparability. Management also uses these non-GAAP financial measures in making financial, operating and planning decisions and in evaluating the Company’s performance. The tables below set out supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the relevant periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, voyage revenue, net income or other measures as determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures include (i) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (reconciled above), (ii) Adjusted Net Income from Continuing operations available to common stockholders and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations.

Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations represent Net Income from continuing operations after earnings from continuing operations allocated to preferred stock and Non-Controlling Interest, but before non-cash “Accrued charter revenue” recorded under charters with escalating or descending charter rates, amortization of time-charter assumed, amortization of deferred revenue, realized (gain)/loss on Euro/USD forward contracts, general and administrative expenses – non-cash component, non-recurring, non-cash write-off of loan deferred financing costs and (gain)/loss on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments. “Accrued charter revenue” is attributed to the timing difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection. However, Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are useful to investors because they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. We also believe that Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are useful in evaluating our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are useful in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity position compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations generally eliminates the accounting effects of certain hedging instruments and other accounting treatments, items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance and liquidity. In evaluating Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
| (1) | Items to consider for comparability include gains and charges. Gains positively impacting Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as deductions to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders. Charges negatively impacting Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as increases to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders. | |
Results of Continuing Operations9
Three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2025
During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, we had an average of 69.0 and 68.2 container vessels, respectively, in our owned fleet.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, we acquired and accepted delivery of the secondhand container vessel Maersk Puelo with a capacity of 6,541 TEU.
As of September 30, 2026, we have invested in Neptune Maritime Leasing Limited (“NML”) the amount of $182.2 million.
In the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, our fleet ownership days totaled 6,348 and 6,278 days, respectively. Ownership days are one of the primary drivers of voyage revenue and vessels’ operating expenses and represent the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet is owned.

(II) Vessels that are part of continuing operations.
Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue decreased by 1.8%, or $3.8 million, to $212.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, from $215.9 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. The decrease period over period is mainly attributable to (i) the net decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels and (ii) the increased off-hire days of our fleet (mainly due to scheduled dry-dockings) during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2025; partly offset by (i) the net contractual reimbursements from certain of our charterers for EU Emissions Allowances (“EUAs”) and Fuel EU Maritime penalties and (ii) the revenue earned by one container vessel acquired during the third quarter of 2025.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash “Accrued charter revenue”, amortization of time-charter assumed and amortization of deferred revenue) decreased by 4.7%, or $10.3 million, to $208.8 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, from $219.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.
Income from investments in leaseback vessels
Income from investments in leaseback vessels was $8.3 million and $9.3 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income from investments in leaseback vessels decreased, period over period, as the impact of certain matured investments exceeded contributions from new investments during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. NML acquires, owns and bareboat charters out vessels through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $18.1 million and $14.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses increased period over period, mainly due to the recognition of increased costs associated with EUAs and an increase in relevant expenses. However, a significant portion of these costs are contractually reimbursed by the charterers, as discussed in “Voyage Revenue”, mitigating the net expenses impact. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses of our vessels, primarily related to fuel consumption, (ii) third-party commissions and (iii) EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime expenses.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties were $2.6 million and $2.8 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses – related parties represent (i) fees of 1.25%, in the aggregate, on voyage revenues earned by our owned fleet charged by a related manager and a related service provider and (ii) charter brokerage fees payable to one and two related charter brokerage companies for an amount of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, in the aggregate, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Vessels’ Operating Expenses
Vessels’ operating expenses, which also include the realized gain/(loss) under derivative contracts entered into in relation to foreign currency exposure, were $44.9 million and $40.9 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily vessels’ operating expenses were $7,075 and $6,520 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily operating expenses are calculated as vessels’ operating expenses for the period over the ownership days of the period.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $6.8 million and $2.2 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was due mainly to non-recurring expenses incurred during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026. Furthermore, General and administrative expenses include amounts of $0.67 million and $0.67 million, respectively, that were paid to a related service provider.
Management Fees – related parties
Management fees charged by our related party managers were $7.5 million and $7.3 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amounts charged by our related party managers include amounts paid to third party managers of $1.3 million and $1.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses – non-cash component
General and administrative expenses – non-cash component for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 amounted to $2.2 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on September 30, 2026. General and administrative expenses – non-cash component for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $1.8 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on September 30, 2025.
Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $6.3 million and $5.0 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, two vessels underwent and completed their special surveys. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, three vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special surveys.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $31.8 million and $32.6 million, respectively.
Vessels held for sale
As of September 30, 2026, the container vessels Porto Kagio and Porto Germeno (initially classified as vessels held for sale during the second quarter of 2026) continue to be classified as vessels held for sale. No loss on vessels held for sale was recorded since each vessel’s estimated fair value less costs to sell exceeded each vessel’s carrying value.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to $3.3 million and $3.7 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs were $18.8 million and $21.6 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased interest expense due to reduced SOFR rates during the period and to the capitalized interest in relation to our newbuilding program during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.
Gain / (loss) on Derivative Instruments, net
As of September 30, 2026, we hold derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting and derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of each derivative instrument that qualifies for hedge accounting is recorded in “Other Comprehensive Income” (“OCI”). The change in the fair value of each derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting is recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
As of September 30, 2026, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $4.8 million. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of September 30, 2026 compared to the fair value as of June 30, 2026) of the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting resulted in a net gain of $1.8 million, which has been included in OCI. Furthermore, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 the change in the fair value (fair value as of September 30, 2026 compared to the fair value as of June 30, 2026) of the derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, including the realized components of such derivative instruments during the quarter, resulted in a net gain of $11.3 million, which has been included in Gain / (loss) on Derivative Instruments, net.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 decreased by $21.7 million to $113.9 million, from $135.6 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is mainly attributable to (i) the decreased net cash from operations, (ii) the increased special survey costs and (iii) the unfavorable change in working capital position, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and the accrued charter revenue (as described above) during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2025; partly offset by the decrease in interest payments (including interest derivatives net receipts) during the three-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2025.
_________________
10 Following the spin-off of the dry bulk business on May 6, 2025, the cash flows of the dry bulk business are reported as discontinued operations for the relevant periods presented. The discussion below focuses on the cash flows from continuing operations.

Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue decreased by 4.6%, or $29.6 million, to $614.4 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, from $644.0 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The decrease period over period is mainly attributable to (i) the net decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels, (ii) the increased idle and off-hire days of our fleet (mainly due to scheduled dry-dockings) during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 and (iii) the lower accounting revenue recorded for two of our vessels classified as sale type leases; partly offset by (i) the contractual reimbursements from certain of our charterers for EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime penalties and (ii) the revenue earned by one container vessel acquired during the third quarter of 2025.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash “Accrued charter revenue”, amortization of time-charter assumed and amortization of deferred revenue) decreased by 6.4%, or $41.2 million, to $604.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, from $645.5 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
Income from investments in leaseback vessels
Income from investments in leaseback vessels was $26.3 million and $22.0 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income from investments in leaseback vessels increased, period over period, primarily due to contributions from investments commenced during 2025 and 2026, which more than offset the impact of investments that matured during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026. NML acquires, owns and bareboat charters out vessels through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $48.9 million and $37.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses increased period over period, mainly due to the recognition of costs associated with EUAs and an increase in relevant expenses. However, a significant portion of these costs are contractually reimbursed by the charterers, as discussed in “Voyage Revenue”, mitigating the net expenses impact. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses of our vessels, primarily related to fuel consumption, (ii) third-party commissions and (iii) EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime expenses.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties were $7.6 million and $8.6 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses – related parties represent (i) fees of 1.25%, in the aggregate, on voyage revenues earned by our owned fleet charged by a related manager and a related service provider and (ii) charter brokerage fees payable to one and two related charter brokerage companies for an amount of approximately $0.6 million and $1.0 million, in the aggregate, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Vessels’ Operating Expenses
Vessels’ operating expenses, which also include the realized gain/(loss) under derivative contracts entered into in relation to foreign currency exposure, were $129.0 million and $120.1 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily vessels’ operating expenses were $6,848 and $6,462 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily operating expenses are calculated as vessels’ operating expenses for the period over the ownership days of the period.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $15.1 million and $9.4 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The increase was due mainly to non-recurring expenses incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026. Furthermore, General and administrative expenses include amounts of $2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, that were paid to a related service provider.
Management Fees – related parties
Management fees charged by our related party managers were $22.3 million and $21.5 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amounts charged by our related party managers include amounts paid to third party managers of $4.2 million and $4.2 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses – non-cash component
General and administrative expenses – non-cash component for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 amounted to $6.8 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 30, 2026, on June 30, 2026 and on September 30, 2026. General and administrative expenses – non-cash component for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $4.6 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 31, 2025, on June 30, 2025 and on September 30, 2025.
Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $17.4 million and $14.5 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, 17 vessels underwent and completed their special surveys. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, eight vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special surveys.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 was $97.2 million and $96.1 million, respectively.
Vessels held for sale
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the container vessels Porto Kagio and Porto Germeno were classified as vessels held for sale. No loss on vessels held for sale was recorded since each vessel’s estimated fair value less costs to sell exceeded each vessel’s carrying value.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to $9.9 million and $15.5 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease was mainly due to lower average SOFR rates and lower average cash balances over the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, compared to the corresponding period in 2025.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs were $55.3 million and $66.8 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased interest expense due to reduced SOFR rates during the period and to the capitalized interest in relation to our newbuilding program during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
Gain on Derivative Instruments, net
As of September 30, 2026, we hold derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting and derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of each derivative instrument that qualifies for hedge accounting is recorded in OCI. The change in the fair value of each derivative instrument that does not qualify for hedge accounting is recorded in the consolidated statements of income.
As of September 30, 2026, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $4.8 million. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of September 30, 2026 compared to the fair value as of December 31, 2025) of the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting resulted in a gain of $4.3 million, which has been included in OCI. Furthermore, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of September 30, 2026 compared to the fair value as of December 31, 2025) of the derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, including the realized components of such derivative instruments during the period, resulted in a net gain of $11.6 million, which has been included in Gain on Derivative Instruments, net.

_________________
12 Following the spin-off of the dry bulk business on May 6, 2025, the cash flows of the dry bulk business are reported as discontinued operations for the relevant periods presented. The discussion below focuses on the cash flows from continuing operations.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 decreased by $90.8 million to $328.0 million, from $418.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025. The decrease is mainly attributable to (i) the decreased net cash from operations and (ii) the increased special survey costs during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025; partly offset by (i) the favorable change in working capital position, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and the accrued charter revenue (as described above) and (ii) the decrease in interest payments (including interest derivatives net receipts) during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $410.2 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2026, which mainly consisted of (i) advance payments for the construction of 20 newbuild container vessels, (ii) advance payments for the acquisition of two secondhand container vessels, (iii) net payments for net investments into which NML entered and (iv) payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels.
