2014. This will be the Company's fifteenth consecutive quarterly
dividend since it commenced trading on the New York Stock
Exchange.
Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Financial Officer of Costamare
Inc., commented:
"During the second quarter of the year, the Company continued to
deliver positive results.
Recently we acquired a 2000-built 2,474 TEU container vessel for
a purchase price of $ 9.5 million. The vessel was bought with
equity and after delivery she commenced her charter employment with
Cosco.
Regarding our chartering arrangements, we have no ships laid up.
Our re-chartering risk is minimized. The charters for the vessels
opening in 2014 account for less than 3% of our 2014 contracted
revenues.
Finally, on July 3, we declared a dividend on our Series B and
Series C Preferred Stock. On July 8, we declared a dividend of $
0.28 per share of our common stock, payable on August 6.
We continue to execute successfully on our growth strategy. We
feel we are well positioned to continue to grow selectively and on
healthy grounds."

(1) Accrued charter revenue
represents the difference between cash received during the period
and 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 revenue recognized
on a straight line basis. |
(2) Voyage revenue adjusted on a
cash basis represents Voyage revenue after adjusting for non-cash
"Accrued charter revenue" recorded under charters with escalating
charter rates. However, Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is
not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, or "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. The increases
or decreases in daily charter rates under our charter party
agreements are described in the notes to the "Fleet List" below.
|
(3) Adjusted net income available
to common stockholders, adjusted earnings per share, EBITDA and
adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation
of net income to adjusted net income and net income available to
common stockholders to EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA below. |
Non-GAAP Measures
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (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 three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and June
30, 2013. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition
to, and not as an alternative for, the Company's reported results
prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures
include (i) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis
(reconciled above), (ii) Adjusted Net Income available to
common stockholders, (iii) Adjusted Earnings per share,
(iv) EBITDA and (v) Adjusted EBITDA.

costs, unrealized loss from a swap option agreement held by a
jointly owned company with York, which is included in equity loss
on investments, and non-cash changes in fair value of currency
forwards and derivatives. "Accrued charter revenue" is
attributed to the timing difference between the revenue recognition
and the cash collection. However, Adjusted Net Income available to
common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share are not
recognized measurements under U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, or "GAAP." We believe that the presentation of Adjusted
Net Income available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings
per Share 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 available to common stockholders and Adjusted
Earnings per Share are useful in evaluating our ability to service
additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we
believe that Adjusted Net Income available to common stockholders
and Adjusted Earnings per Share 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 available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings
per Share generally eliminates the effects of the accounting
effects of capital expenditures and acquisitions, 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
available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share,
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 available to
common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share should not be
construed as an inference that our future results will be
unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of
financings, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital
expenditures and acquisitions, items which may vary for different
companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance
and liquidity. In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed
as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by

Note: Items to consider for comparability include gains and
charges. Gains positively impacting net income are reflected as
deductions to net income. Charges negatively impacting net income
are reflected as increases to net income.
Results of Operations
Three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to the
three-month period ended June 30, 2013
During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we
had an average of 55.7 and 49.0 vessels, respectively, in our
fleet. In the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, we accepted
delivery of the newbuild vessel MSC Amalfi with a TEU capacity of
9,403 and the secondhand vessels Neapolis and Areopolis with an
aggregate TEU capacity of 4,119, and we sold the vessel Konstantina
with TEU capacity of 3,351. In the three-month period ended
June 30, 2013, we accepted delivery of the newbuild vessels MSC
Athos, Valor and Value with an aggregate TEU capacity of 26,481 and
the secondhand vessels Petalidi and Ensenada Express with an
aggregate TEU capacity of 6,738, which were acquired pursuant to

ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, our fleet ownership days totaled
5,070 and 4,456 days, respectively. Ownership days are the primary
driver 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.

Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue increased by 23.5%, or $23.5 million, to
$123.5 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014,
from $100.0 million during the three-month period ended June
30, 2013. This increase was mainly due to (i) revenue earned by the
six and three newbuild vessels delivered to us during the
nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 and the six-month period
ended June 30, 2014, respectively; partly offset by (ii) decreased
charter rates in certain of our vessels during the three-month
period ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three-month period
ended June 30, 2013, and (iii) revenues not earned by two and one
vessels sold for scrap during the nine-month period ended December
31, 2013 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2014,
respectively.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates
non-cash "Accrued charter revenue"), increased by 22.0%, or $22.7
million, to $126.0 million during the three-month period ended June
30, 2014, from $103.3 million during the three-month period
ended June 30, 2013. This increase was mainly due to (i) revenue
earned by the six and three newbuild vessels delivered to us during
the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 and the six-month
period ended June 30, 2014, respectively; partly offset by (ii)
decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels during the
three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three-month
period ended June 30, 2013, and (iii) revenues not earned by two
and one vessels sold for scrap during the nine-month period ended
December 31, 2013 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2014,
respectively.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses decreased by 8.3% or $0.1 million to $1.1
million, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, from
$1.2 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses of our
vessels, mainly related to fuel consumption and (ii) third party
commissions.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties in the amount of $0.9 million
during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 and in the amount
of $0.8 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2013,
represent fees of 0.75% on voyage revenues charged to us by
Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as provided under our group
management agreement.
Vessels' Operating Expenses
Vessels' operating expenses, increased by 7.0%, or $2.0 million,
to $30.5 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014,
from $28.5 million during the three-month period ended June
30, 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased
ownership days of our vessels during the three-month period ended
June 30, 2014, compared to the three-month period ended June 30,
2013.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by 7.7%, or $0.1
million, to $1.4 million during the three-month period ended June
30, 2014, from $1.3 million during the three-month period ended
June 30, 2013. General and administrative expenses for the
three-month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, included $0.25
million in each period for the services of the Company's officers
in aggregate charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as
provided under our group management agreement.
Management Fees – related parties
Management fees paid to our managers increased by 17.1%, or $0.7
million, to $4.8 million during the three-month period ended June
30, 2014, from $4.1 million during the three-month period
ended June 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to (i)
the upward adjustment by 4% of the management fee for each vessel
(effective January 1, 2014), as provided under our group management
agreement, and (ii) the increased average number of vessels during
the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to the
three-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Amortization of Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs
was $1.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014,
and $2.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2013.
During the three-month period ended June 30, 2014, one vessel
underwent and completed her special survey. During the three-month
period ended June 30, 2013, two vessels underwent and completed
their special surveys while one vessel was in process.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense increased by 23.1%, or $5.0 million, to
$26.6 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2014,
from $21.6 million during the three-month period ended June
30, 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to the depreciation
expense charged for the six newbuild vessels delivered to us during
the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 and for the three
newbuild vessels delivered to us during the six-month period ended
June 30, 2014, partly offset by the depreciation expense not
charged for the two and one vessels sold for scrap during the
nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 and the six-month period
ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
Amortization of Prepaid lease rentals

to $22.6 million during the three-month period ended June 30,
2014, from $16.4 million during the three-month period ended June
30, 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased
interest expense charged to the consolidated statement of income in
relation with the loan facilities of the six and three newbuild
vessels which were delivered to us during the nine-month period
ended December 31, 2013 and the six-month period ended June 30,
2014, respectively, and the write-off of deferred finance costs due
to the refinancing of one of our bank loans; partly offset by the
decreased loan commitment fees charged to us during the three-month
period ended June 30, 2014, compared to the three-month period
ended June 30, 2013.
Equity Gain/ (Loss) on Investments
The equity gain / (loss) on investments represents our share of
the net earnings of thirteen jointly owned companies pursuant to
the Framework Agreement with York. We hold a range of 25% to 49% of
the capital stock of these companies. The net equity gain / (loss)
on investments was $nil for the three-month period ended June 30,
2014 and includes an unrealized loss of $2.2 million deriving from
a swap option agreement entered into by a jointly owned
company.
Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 22 interest rate derivative instruments
which were outstanding as of June 30, 2014, equates to the amount
that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be
terminated. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of these 22
interest rate derivative instruments in aggregate amounted to a
liability of $88.6 million. Twenty-one of the 22 interest rate
derivative instruments that were outstanding as at June 30, 2014,
qualified for hedge accounting and the effective portion of the
change in their fair value is recorded in "Other Comprehensive
Income" ("OCI"). For the three-month period ended June 30,
2014, a net gain of $1.2 million has been included in OCI and a net
loss of $0.9 million has been included in Gain / (Loss) on
derivative instruments in the consolidated statement of income,
resulting from the fair market value change of the interest rate
derivative instruments during the three-month period ended June 30,
2014. Furthermore, during the three-month period ended June 30,
2014, we terminated one interest rate derivative instrument that
qualified for hedge accounting and we paid the counterparty
breakage costs of $3.5 million, in aggregate.

Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue increased by 24.4%, or $46.8 million, to $238.4
million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, from
$191.6 million during the six-month period ended June 30,
2013. This increase was mainly attributable to (i) revenue earned
by the seven and three newbuild vessels delivered to us during the
year ended December 31, 2013 and the six-month period ended June
30, 2014, respectively; partly offset by (ii) decreased charter
rates in certain of our vessels during the six-month period ended
June 30, 2014, compared to the six-month period ended June 30,
2013, and (iii) revenues not earned by vessels which were sold for
scrap during the nine-month period ended December 31, 2013 and the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates
non-cash "Accrued charter revenue"), increased by 22.9%, or $45.3
million, to $243.5 million during the six-month period ended June
30, 2014, from $198.2 million during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2013. This increase was mainly attributable to (i)
revenue earned by the seven and three newbuild vessels delivered to
us during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the six-month period
ended June 30, 2014, respectively; partly offset by (ii) decreased
charter rates in certain of our vessels during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six-month period ended June
30, 2013, and (iii) revenues not earned by vessels which were sold

million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, from
$1.9 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased off-hire
expenses of our fleet, mainly bunkers consumption and by the
decreased third party commissions charged to us during the
six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared to the six-month
period ended June 30, 2013.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties increased by 28.6% or $0.4

$59.9 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, from
$56.4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013. The
increase was mainly attributable to the increased ownership days of
our fleet during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, compared
to the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by 13.6% or $0.3
million, to $2.5 million during the six-month period ended June 30,

$1.3 million, to $9.3 million during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2014, from $8.0 million during the six-month

to (i) the upward adjustment by 4% of the management fee for each
vessel (effective January 1, 2014), as provided under our group
management agreement, and (ii) the increased average number of

to $51.8 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014,
from $41.5 million during the six-month period ended June 30,
2013. The increase was mainly attributable to the depreciation
expense charged for the seven newbuild vessels delivered to us
during the year ended December 31, 2013 and for the three newbuild
vessels delivered to us during the six-month period ended June 30,
2014, partly offset by the depreciation expense not charged for the
vessels sold for scrap during the nine-month period ended December
31, 2013 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2014.
Amortization of Prepaid lease rentals
The amount of $1.5 million relates to the amortization of the

to $48.4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014,
from $34.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
The increase was mainly attributable to the increased interest
expense charged to the consolidated statement of income in relation
with the loan facilities of the seven and three newbuild vessels
which were delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013
and the six-month period ended June 30, 2014, respectively and the
write-off of deferred finance costs due to the refinancing of one
of our bank loans; partly offset by the decreased loan commitment
fees charged to us during the six-month period ended June 30, 2014,
compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2013.
Equity loss on Investments
The equity loss on investments of $2.3 million represents our
share of the net losses of thirteen jointly owned companies formed
pursuant to the Framework Agreement with York. We hold a range of
25% to 49% of the capital stock of each company. The net loss of
$2.3 includes an unrealized loss of $4.7 million deriving from a
swap option agreement entered into by a jointly owned company.
Gain on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 22 interest rate derivative instruments
which were outstanding as of June 30, 2014, equates to the amount
that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be
terminated. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of these 22
interest rate derivative instruments in aggregate amounted to a
liability of $88.6 million. Twenty-one of the 22 interest rate
derivative instruments that were outstanding as at June 30, 2014,
qualified for hedge accounting and the effective portion of the

has been included in OCI and a net gain of $1.9 million has been
included in Gain on derivative instruments in the consolidated
statement of income, resulting from the fair market value change of
the interest rate derivative instruments during the six-month
period ended June 30, 2014.

Our newbuilds on order have an aggregate capacity in excess of
110,000 TEU.
(1) Charter terms and expiration dates are based on the
earliest date charters could expire. Amounts set out for current
daily charter rate are the amounts contained in the charter
contracts.
(2) This average rate is calculated based on contracted charter
rates for the days remaining between July 23, 2014 and the earliest
expiration of each charter. Certain of our charter rates change
until their earliest expiration dates, as indicated in the
footnotes below.
(3) This charter rate changes on August 24, 2014 to $26,100 per

(4) This charter rate changes on October 20, 2014 to $26,100 per
day until the earliest redelivery date.

(9) Zim recently finalized the terms of its comprehensive
financial restructuring plan with its shareholders and its
creditors, including vessel and container lenders, shipowners,
shipyards, unsecured lenders and bond holders. The amounts in the
table reflect the current charter terms, giving effect to our
agreement with Zim under the restructuring plan. Based on this
agreement, we have been granted charter extensions and have been
issued equity securities representing 1.2% of Zim's equity and
approximately $8.2million in interest bearing notes maturing in
2023. The Company will have the option to extend the charters for
two of the three vessels chartered to Zim for successive one year
periods at market rate plus $1,100 per day per vessel while the
notes remain outstanding.
(10) As from December 1, 2012 until redelivery, the charter rate
is to be a minimum of $13,500 per day plus 50% of the difference
between the market rate and the charter rate of $13,500. The market
rate is to be determined annually based on the Hamburg ConTex type
3500 TEU index published on October 1 of each year until
redelivery.
(11) This charter rate changes on July 27, 2014 to $8,225 per
day until the earliest redelivery date.
(12) This charter rate changes on August 3, 2014 to $6,800 per
day until the earliest redelivery date
