mature in January 2027.
- In December 2021,
we signed a loan agreement with a leading European financial
institution for an amount of up to $43.5 million for the purposes
of refinancing the then existing indebtedness of four dry bulk
carriers. The new facility has a tenor of five years, and will
mature in December 2026.
- In December 2021,
we signed a hunting license loan agreement with a European
financial institution for an amount of up to $100 million for the
purposes of financing the acquisition cost of dry bulk vessels. The
availability period of this facility expires in December 2022, an
amount of $56.7 million has already been drawn and the facility has

refinancing the then existing indebtedness of five containerships
and for general corporate purposes. The new facility has a tenor of
four years and will mature in January 2026.
VI. SHARE
REPURCHASE PROGRAM AND DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENTS
- On November 30,
2021, we approved a share repurchase program of up to a maximum
$150 million of our common shares and up to a maximum $150 million
of our preferred shares. The timing of repurchases and the exact
number of shares to be purchased will be determined by the
Company’s management, in its discretion.
- On January 3, 2022,
we declared a dividend for the quarter ended December 31, 2021, of
$0.115 per share on our common stock, which was paid on February 7,
2022, to stockholders of record of common stock as of January 20,
2022.
- On January 3, 2022,
we declared a dividend of $0.476563 per share on our Series B
Preferred Stock, of $0.531250 per share on our Series C Preferred
Stock, of $0.546875 per share on our Series D Preferred Stock and
of $0.554688 per share on our Series E Preferred Stock, which were
all paid on January 18, 2022 to holders of record as of January 14,
2022.
Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Financial
Officer of Costamare Inc., commented:
“2021 has been a record year for Costamare. With
a fleet of 123 vessels, including 46 dry bulk ships, the Company
generated Net Income of above $400 million. As of the end of the
year, liquidity stood at $550 million.
On the containerships side, market conditions
remained firm with strong demand and logistical disruptions
continuing to impact the sector. We chartered a total of 35
secondhand vessels during the year, which added incremental
contracted revenues of $1.4 billion. Total contracted revenues
amount to $3.4 billion with a weighted average remaining time
charter duration of about 4 years.
We have covered substantially all of our
containership open days for 2022 and are in the process of
arranging employment for the vessels coming off charter next year.
At the same time, we agreed to dispose of some older tonnage with
forward, year-end deliveries at prices that reflect today’s tight
market environment.
Regarding our expansion into the dry bulk
shipping business, we entered a market with favorable supply and
demand dynamics underpinned by a historically low orderbook. Our
dry bulk fleet is currently trading in the spot market generating
healthy returns, on the back of timely acquisitions.
In light of the above, the Company has decided
to declare a special dividend of $0.50 per common share. While
rewarding our shareholders as a result of increased cash flows and
profitability, the payment of that dividend is not expected in any
way to affect our capacity to continue growing opportunistically in
a volatile market environment.”

(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. The reverse is true for charters with
descending rates.(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. 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”
tables below.(3) Adjusted Net Income available to common
stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures.
Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net
Income.
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 three-month periods and years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020. Non-GAAP financial measures should be
viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, voyage
revenue or net income 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 available
to common stockholders and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share.

Adjusted Net Income available to common
stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share represent Net Income
after earnings allocated to preferred stock and gain on retirement
of preferred stock, but before non-cash “Accrued charter revenue”
recorded under charters with escalating or descending charter
rates, realized (gain)/loss on Euro/USD forward contracts, vessels’
impairment loss, (gain)/loss on sale / disposal of vessels, net,
loss on vessels held for sale, gain on sale / disposal of vessel by
a jointly owned company with York included in equity gain on
investments, gain on sale of equity securities, swap’s breakage
costs, non-recurring, non-cash write-off of loan deferred financing
costs, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component,
non-cash changes in fair value of derivatives and other
non-recurring, non-cash items. “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. 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.
(1) Items to consider for comparability include
gains and charges. Gains positively impacting Net Income available
to common stockholders are reflected as deductions to Adjusted Net
Income available to common stockholders. Charges negatively
impacting Net Income available to common stockholders are reflected
as increases to Adjusted Net Income available to common
stockholders.
Results of Operations
Three-month period ended December 31,
2021 compared to the three-month period ended December 31,
2020
During the three-month periods ended December
31, 2021 and 2020, we had an average of 108.1 and 60.3 vessels,
respectively, in our fleet.
In the three-month period ended December 31,
2021, we sold the container vessels ZIM Shanghai and ZIM New York,
with an aggregate TEU capacity of 9,984. Furthermore, during the
three-month period ended December 31, 2021, we accepted delivery of
13 secondhand dry bulk vessels (Equity, Cetus (ex. Charm), Curacao,
Rose, Bermondi, Titan I, Orion, Greneta, Merchia, Damon, Pythias,
Egyptian Mike and Phoenix) with an aggregate DWT of 811,567.
In the three-month period ended December 31,
2020, we accepted delivery of the secondhand container vessel
Neokastro with a TEU capacity of 4,178 and we sold the container
vessel Singapore Express with a TEU capacity of 4,890.
In the three-month periods ended December 31,
2021 and 2020, our fleet ownership days totaled 9,942 and 5,552
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.

(1) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is
not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”). Refer to “Consolidated Financial
Results and vessels’ operational data” above for the reconciliation
of Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis.
Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue increased by 138.4%, or $164.8
million, to $283.9 million during the three-month period ended
December 31, 2021, from $119.1 million during the three-month
period ended December 31, 2020. The increase is mainly attributable
to (i) revenue earned by one container vessel acquired during the
three-month period ended December 31, 2020, as well as to the 16
container vessels and 41 dry bulk vessels acquired during the year
ended December 31, 2021 and (ii) increased charter rates in certain
of our container vessels, partly off-set by revenue not earned by
five container vessels sold during the year ended December 31,
2021.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which
eliminates non-cash “Accrued charter revenue”) increased by 116.6%,
or $145.0 million, to $269.4 million during the three-month period
ended December 31, 2021, from $124.4 million during the three-month
period ended December 31, 2020. Accrued charter revenue for the
three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was a negative
amount of $14.5 million and a positive amount of $5.3 million,
respectively.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $5.8 million and $1.0
million for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire
expenses of our vessels, primarily related to fuel consumption and
(ii) third party commissions.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties were $3.7
million and $1.8 million for the three-month periods ended December
31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Voyage expenses – related parties
represent (i) fees of 1.25%, in the aggregate, on voyage revenues
charged by a related manager and a service provider and (ii)
charter brokerage fees (in respect of our container vessels)
payable to two related charter brokerage companies for an amount of
approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, in the aggregate, for
the three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
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 $60.6 million and $32.0
million during the three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively. Daily vessels’ operating expenses were $6,103
and $5,774 for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively. The increase in the daily operating expenses
during the quarter ended December 31, 2021 is mainly attributable
to increased one-time predelivery expenses for the acquisition of
dry bulk vessels and increased crew costs related to COVID-19
pandemic measures. 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 $3.4
million and $2.1 million during the three-month periods ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and both include $0.63
million paid to a related manager.
Management Fees – related parties
Management fees paid to our related party
managers were $9.7 million and $5.6 million during the three-month
periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses - non-cash
component
General and administrative expenses - non-cash
component for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021
amounted to $1.9 million, representing the value of the shares
issued to a related party manager on December 30, 2021. General and
administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month
period ended December 31, 2020 amounted to $1.2 million,
representing the value of the shares issued to a related party
manager on December 30, 2020.
Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special
Survey
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special
survey costs was $2.9 million and $2.3 million during the
three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
During the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, one vessel
underwent and completed her dry-docking and special survey and one
vessel was in the process of completing her dry-docking and special
survey. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, two
vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special
survey.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the three-month periods
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was $40.9 million and $27.1
million, respectively.
Gain on Sale / Disposal of Vessels
During the three-month period ended December 31,
2021, we recorded a gain of $27.8 million from the sale of the
container vessels ZIM Shanghai and ZIM New York, which were
classified as vessels held for sale at September 30, 2021
(initially classified as vessel held for sale as of June 30, 2021).
During the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, we recorded
a gain of $0.5 million from the sale of the vessel Singapore
Express, which was classified as vessel held for sale at June 30,
2020 and September 30, 2020.
Loss on Vessels Held for Sale
During the three-month period ended December 31,
2021, the container vessels Messini, Sealand Illinois, Sealand
Michigan and York were classified as vessels held for sale. No loss
on vessels held for sale was recorded during the fourth quarter of
2021, since each vessel’s estimated fair value less costs to sell
exceeded each vessel’s carrying value. During the three-month
period ended December 31, 2020, the container vessel Halifax
Express was classified as vessel held for sale and we recorded a
loss on vessel held for sale of $7.7 million, which resulted
from its estimated fair value measurement less costs to sell,
during the period.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to nil and $0.4 million
for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs were $25.3 million
and $17.2 million during the three-month periods ended December 31,
2021 and 2020, respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to
the increased average loan balances during the three-month period
ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three-month period ended
December 31, 2020, partly off-set by decreased financing cost
during the three-month period ended December 31, 2021 compared to
the three-month period ended December 31, 2020.
Gain on Sale of Equity Securities
Gain on sale of equity securities of $2.0
million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021,
represents the difference between the aggregate sale price of
1,221,800 ordinary shares of ZIM as compared to their carrying
value as at September 30, 2021. ZIM completed its initial public
offering and listing on the New York Stock Exchange of its ordinary
shares on January 27, 2021.
Income from Equity Method Investments
During the three-month period ended December 31,
2021, we recorded an income from equity method investments of $0.8
million representing our share of the income in jointly owned
companies pursuant to the Framework Deed dated May 15, 2013, as
amended and restated (the “Framework Deed”), with York Capital
Management Advisors LLC (“York”). As of December 31, 2021, six
companies are jointly owned with York (of which, four companies
currently own container vessels). During the three-month period
ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an income from equity method
investments of $4.0 million relating to investments under the
Framework Deed. As of December 31, 2020, 13 companies were jointly
owned with York (of which, ten companies owned container vessels).
The decreased income from equity method investments in the fourth
quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 is mainly
attributable to the decreased number of container vessels jointly
owned with York during the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the
fourth quarter of 2020; partly off-set by the increased
profitability of certain jointly owned vessels during the fourth
quarter of 2021 compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
Gain / (loss) on Derivative Instruments
As of December 31, 2021, ten interest rate
derivative instruments and two cross currency rate swaps were
outstanding and their fair value, in aggregate, amounted to a
liability of $10.9 million. The change in the fair value of our
interest rate derivative instruments and cross currency swaps that
qualified for hedge accounting is recorded in “Other Comprehensive
Income” (“OCI”) and reclassified into earnings in the same period
or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
For the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, a gain of $5.2
million has been included in OCI and a loss of $0.1 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 December 31, 2021.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities
for the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, increased by
$97.0 million to $165.4 million, from $68.4 million for the
three-month period ended December 31, 2020. The increase is mainly
attributable to increased cash from operations of $145.0 million,
partly off-set by the unfavorable change in working capital
position, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and the
accrued charter revenue (representing the difference between cash
received in that period and revenue recognized on a straight-line
basis) of $2.3 million, by the increased payments for interest
(including swap payments) of $5.9 million during the three-month
period ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three-month period
ended December 31, 2020 and by the increased dry-docking and
special survey costs of $0.1 million during the three-month period
ended December 31, 2021 compared to the three-month period ended
December 31, 2020.
Net Cash Used in Investing
Activities

mainly consisted of (i) payments for the acquisition of six
secondhand dry bulk vessels, (ii) settlement payments for the
delivery of seven secondhand dry bulk vessels, (iii) settlement
payment for one secondhand container vessel which was delivered in
January 2022, (iv) advance payment for the acquisition of one
secondhand dry bulk vessel, which was delivered in January 2022,
and (v) payments for upgrades for certain of our container and dry
bulk vessels; partly off-set by proceeds we received from (i) the
sale of two container vessels and (ii) the sale of 1,221,800
ordinary shares of ZIM that we owned.
Net cash used in investing activities was $14.7
million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, which
mainly consisted of payments for upgrades for certain of our
container vessels and payments for the acquisition of one
secondhand container vessel; partly off-set by proceeds we received
from the sale of one container vessel and by return of capital we
received from three entities jointly-owned with York pursuant to
the Framework Deed.
Net Cash Used in Financing
Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was nil in
the three-month period ended December 31, 2021, which mainly
consisted of (a) $20.0 million net proceeds relating to our debt
financing agreements (including proceeds of $159.1 million we
received from our debt financing agreements), (b) $10.8 million we
paid for dividends to holders of our common stock for the third
quarter of 2021 and (c) $0.9 million we paid for dividends to

Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”), $2.1 million we paid
for dividends to holders of our 8.500% Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”),
$2.2 million we paid for dividends to holders of our 8.75% Series D
Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (“Series D
Preferred Stock”) and $2.5 million we paid for dividends to holders
of our 8.875% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred
Stock (“Series E Preferred Stock”) for the period from July 15,
2021 to October 14, 2021.
Net cash used in financing activities was $49.2
million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2020, which
mainly consisted of (a) $32.0 million net payments relating to our
debt financing agreements, (b) $9.3 million we paid for dividends
to holders of our common stock for the third quarter of 2020 and
(c) $0.9 million we paid for dividends to holders of our Series B

Year ended December 31, 2021 compared to
the year ended December 31, 2020
During the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, we had an average of 83.6 and 60.0 vessels, respectively, in
our fleet.
In the year ended December 31, 2021, (i) we
accepted delivery of the newbuild container vessels YM Target and
YM Tiptop with an aggregate TEU capacity of 25,380, the secondhand
container vessels Aries, Argus, Glen Canyon, Androusa, Norfolk,
Porto Cheli, Porto Kagio, Porto Germeno, and Gialova with an
aggregate TEU capacity of 49,909; and we sold the container vessels
Halifax Express, Prosper, Venetiko, ZIM Shanghai and ZIM New York
with an aggregate TEU capacity of 22,306 and (ii) we acquired (a)
the 75% equity interest of York Capital Management in each of the
11,010 TEU container vessels Cape Kortia and Cape Sounio and (b)
the 51% equity interest of York in each of the 11,010 TEU container
vessels Cape Tainaro, Cape Artemisio and Cape Akritas and as a
result we obtained 100% of the equity interest in each of these
five vessels.
Furthermore, in the year ended December 31,
2021, we acquired all of the equity interest of sixteen companies
(which owned or had committed to acquire dry bulk vessels) owned by
entities affiliated with our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer,
Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos. We agreed to acquire these
companies from Mr. Konstantakopoulos at cost with no mark-up or
premium payable to Mr. Konstantakopoulos or his affiliated
entities. Mr. Konstantakopoulos did not receive a profit as a
result of the acquisition. The sixteen dry bulk vessels (Pegasus,
Builder, Adventure, Eracle, Peace, Sauvan, Pride, Alliance,
Manzanillo, Acuity, Seabird, Aeolian, Comity, Athena, Farmer and
Greneta) that were part of the acquisition had an aggregate DWT of
932,329 and were delivered to us during the year ended December 31,
2021. In addition, in the year ended December 31, 2021, we accepted
delivery of another twenty-seven secondhand dry bulk vessels
(Bernis, Verity, Dawn, Discovery, Clara, Serena, Merida, Progress,
Miner, Parity, Uruguay, Resource, Konstantinos, Taibo, Thunder,
Equity, Cetus (ex. Charm), Curacao, Rose, Bermondi, Titan I, Orion,
Merchia, Damon, Pythias, Egyptian Mike and Phoenix) with an
aggregate DWT of 1,388,422.
In the year ended December 31, 2020, we accepted
delivery of the newbuild container vessels YM Triumph, YM Truth and
YM Totality with an aggregate TEU capacity of 38,070 and the
secondhand container vessels Virgo, Scorpius and Neokastro with an
aggregate TEU capacity of 11,008; and we sold the container vessels
Neapolis, Kawasaki, Kokura, Zagora and Singapore Express with an
aggregate TEU capacity of 22,503.
In the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
our fleet ownership days totaled 30,525 and 21,965 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.

(1) The results of dry bulk vessels are included
from June 14, 2021. Prior to that, our results were attributable to
container vessels only.(2) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis
is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (“GAAP”). Refer to “Consolidated Financial
Results and vessels’ operational data” above for the reconciliation
of Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis.
Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue increased by 72.4%, or $333.3
million, to $793.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2021,
from $460.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2020. The
increase is mainly attributable to (i) revenue earned by six
container vessels acquired during the year ended December 31, 2020
as well as by revenue earned by 16 container vessels and 41 dry
bulk vessels acquired during the year ended December 31, 2021, and
(ii) increased charter rates in certain of our container vessels
during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended
December 31, 2020, partly off-set by revenue not earned by five
container vessels sold during the year ended December 31, 2020 and
five container vessels sold during the year ended December 31,
2021.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which
eliminates non-cash “Accrued charter revenue”), increased by 62.3%,
or $300.1 million, to $781.9 million during the year ended December
31, 2021, from $481.8 million during the year ended December 31,
2020. Accrued charter revenue for the years ended December 31, 2021
and 2020 was a negative amount of $11.3 million and a positive
amount of $21.3 million, respectively.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $13.3 million and $7.4
million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses
of our vessels, primarily related to fuel consumption and (ii)
third party commissions.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties were $11.1
million and $6.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively. Voyage expenses – related parties represent (i)
fees of 1.25% in the aggregate on voyage revenues charged by a
related manager and a service provider and (ii) charter brokerage
fees (in respect of our container vessels) payable to two related
charter brokerage companies for an amount of approximately $1.3
million and $0.8 million, in the aggregate, for the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 $180.0 million and
$117.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. Daily vessels’ operating expenses were $5,896 and
$5,329 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively. The increase in the daily operating expenses during
the year ended December 31, 2021 is mainly attributable to
increased one-time predelivery expenses for the acquisition of dry
bulk vessels and increased crew costs related to COVID-19 pandemic
measures. 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 $9.4
million and $7.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2021
and 2020, respectively, and both include $2.5 million paid to a
related manager.
Management Fees – related parties
Management fees paid to our related party
managers were $29.6 million and $21.6 million during the years
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses – non-cash
component
General and administrative expenses – non-cash
component for the year ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $7.4
million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related
party manager on March 31, 2021, June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021
and December 30, 2021. General and administrative expenses –
non-cash component for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to
$3.7 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a
related party manager on March 30, 2020, June 30, 2020, September
30, 2020 and December 30, 2020.
Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special
Survey
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special
survey costs was $10.4 million and $9.0 million during the year
ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the year
ended December 31, 2021, 14 vessels underwent and completed their
dry-docking and special survey and one vessel was in the process of
completing her dry-docking and special survey. During the year
ended December 31, 2020, 11 vessels underwent and completed their
dry-docking and special survey.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the year ended December
31, 2021 and 2020 was $137.0 million and $108.7 million,
respectively.
Gain / (loss) on Sale / Disposal of Vessels,
net
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we
recorded a net gain of $45.9 million from the sale of the container
vessels Prosper (asset held for sale at March 31, 2021), Halifax
Express (asset held for sale at December 31, 2020), Venetiko (asset
held for sale at March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021), ZIM Shanghai
(asset held for sale as at June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021)
and ZIM New York (asset held for sale as at June 30, 2021 and
September 30, 2021). During the year ended December 31, 2020, we
recorded an aggregate net loss of $79.1 million from the sale of
the container vessels Neapolis, Kawasaki, Kokura, Zagora and
Singapore Express. Neapolis and Zagora were classified as assets
held for sale at December 31, 2019.
Loss on Vessels Held for Sale
During the year ended December 31, 2021, the
container vessels Messini, Sealand Illinois, Sealand Michigan and
York 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. During
the year ended December 31, 2020, the container vessel Halifax
Express was classified as vessel held for sale and we recorded a
loss on vessel held for sale of $7.7 million, which resulted
from its estimated fair value measurement less costs to sell,
during the year.
Vessels’ Impairment Loss
During the year ended December 31, 2021 no
impairment loss was recorded. During the year ended December 31,
2020, we recorded an impairment loss in relation to five of our
container vessels in the amount of $31.6 million, in the
aggregate.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to $1.6 million and
$1.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020,
respectively.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs were $86.1 million
and $68.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to the
increased average loan balances during the year ended December 31,
2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, partly off-set
by the decreased financing cost during the year ended December 31,
2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.
Swaps’ Breakage Costs
During the year ended December 31, 2020, we
terminated two interest rate derivative instruments that qualified
for hedge accounting and we paid the counterparties breakage costs
in the amount of $0.006 million in the aggregate.
Gain on Sale of Equity Securities / Dividend
Income from Investment in Equity Securities
The gain on sale of equity securities of $60.2
million for the year period ended December 31, 2021, represents the
difference between the aggregate sale price of 1,221,800 ordinary
shares of ZIM as compared to the book value of these shares as of
December 31, 2020. ZIM completed its initial public offering and
listing on the New York Stock Exchange of its ordinary shares on
January 27, 2021. Furthermore, in the year ended December 31, 2021,
we received a dividend from ZIM in the amount of $1.8 million.
Income from Equity Method Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we
recorded an income from equity method investments of $12.8 million
representing our share of the income in jointly owned companies
pursuant to the Framework Deed, with York. Since late March 2021,
we have held 100% of the equity interest in five previously jointly
owned companies with York, and since then these five companies are
consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. As of
December 31, 2021, six companies are jointly owned with York (of
which, four companies currently own container vessels). During the
year ended December 31, 2020, we recorded an income from equity
method investments of $16.2 million relating to investments under
the Framework Deed. As of December 31, 2020, 13 companies were
jointly owned with York (of which, ten companies owned container
vessels). The decreased income from equity method investments in
2021 compared to 2020 is mainly attributable to the decreased
number of container vessels jointly owned with York during 2021
compared to 2020; partly off-set by the increased profitability of
certain jointly owned with York container vessels during 2021
compared to 2020 and to the gain on sale of one jointly owned with
York container vessel which was sold in the third quarter of
2021.
Loss on Derivative Instruments
As of December 31, 2021, ten interest rate
derivative instruments and two cross currency rate swaps were
outstanding and their fair value, in aggregate, as at that date
were a liability of $10.9 million. The change in the fair value of
our interest rate derivative instruments and cross currency swaps
that qualified for hedge accounting is recorded in OCI and
reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during
which the hedged transaction affects earnings. For the year ended
December 31, 2021, a gain of $5.7 million has been included in OCI
and a loss of $0.4 million has been included in 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 year ended December 31, 2021.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities
for the year ended December 31, 2021, increased by $192.2 million
to $466.5 million, from $274.3 million for year ended December 31,
2020. The increase is mainly attributable to increased cash from
operations of $300.2 million, partly off-set by the unfavorable
change in working capital position, excluding the current portion
of long-term debt and the accrued charter revenue (representing the
difference between cash received in that period and revenue
recognized on a straight-line basis) of $1.3 million, by the
increased payments for interest (including swap payments) of $11.8
million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the
year ended December 31, 2020 and by the increased dry-docking and
special survey costs of $3.4 million during the year ended December
31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020.
Net Cash Used in Investing
Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $787.5

in January 2022 (vii) payments for the acquisition of the equity
interest of sixteen companies (which owned or had committed to
acquire dry bulk vessels) owned by our Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer, Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos in accordance with the
Share and Purchase agreement dated June 14, 2021 (agreed to acquire
the equity interest of these companies at cost with no mark-up or
premium payable to Mr. Konstantakopoulos or his affiliated
entities) and (viii) payments for upgrades for certain of our
container and dry bulk vessels; partly off-set by proceeds we
received from (i) the sale of 1,221,800 ordinary shares of ZIM that
we owned, (ii) the sale of five container vessels and (iii) return
of capital we received from one entity jointly -owned with York
pursuant to the Framework Deed.
Net cash used in investing activities was $36.4
million in the year ended December 31, 2020, which mainly consisted
of payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels and
payments for the delivery of three newbuild container vessels and
three secondhand container vessels; partly off-set by proceeds we
received from the sale of five of our container vessels and by
return of capital we received from ten entities jointly-owned with
York pursuant to the Framework Deed.
