of $10.8 million has already been drawn down and the facility has a
maximum tenor of five years following the expiration of the
availability period.
- In April 2022, we
signed a loan agreement with a leading European financial
institution for an amount of $40.5 million for the purposes of
refinancing the existing indebtedness of four dry bulk vessels. The
new facility has a tenor of four years, and will mature in April
2026.
V. DIVIDEND ANNOUNCEMENTS

$0.115 per share on our common stock, both of which are due to be
paid on May 5, 2022, to stockholders of record of common stock as

- On April 1, 2022,
we declared a dividend of $0.476563 per share on our Series B

Stock, $0.546875 per share on our Series D Preferred Stock and
$0.554688 per share on our Series E Preferred Stock, which were all
paid on April 18, 2022 to holders of record as of April 14,
2022.
_______________1 Adjusted Net Income 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.2
Including our share of cash amounting to $3.2 million held by
vessel owning-companies set-up pursuant to the Framework Deed dated
May 15, 2013, as amended and restated from time to time, between
the Company and York Capital Management Global Advisors LLC and
$152.5 million of available undrawn funds from our two hunting
license facilities as of the date of this earnings release.3 Please
refer to the Fleet List tables for additional information on vessel
employment details.4 Calculated on a TEU basis and excluding
vessels we have agreed to sell.
Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Financial
Officer of Costamare Inc., commented:
“During the quarter the Company delivered strong
results; revenues more than doubled to approx. $270 million and Net
Income reached $115 million, compared to $60 million for the same
period of last year. As of quarter end, liquidity stood at $640
million.
Fundamentals and strong charter rates for the
container market remain unchanged; a commercially fully employed
container fleet with no vessels available on short notice.
Congestion shows no signs of easing, while recent events are in
fact contributing to further increases.
In such an opportune market environment we have
covered all of our containership open days for 2022 and we have ca.
95% coverage for 2023. Contracted revenues for the containership
fleet in the water amount to $3.3 billion with a remaining time
charter duration of 4.1 years.
On the dry bulk side, the market continues to be
strong with smaller ships earning a premium to the larger ones,
also benefiting from container spillover. Supply and demand
dynamics remain healthy underpinned by a historically low
orderbook.”

(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 ended March 31,
2022 and 2021. 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, amortization of time charter assumed, realized (gain)/loss
on Euro/USD forward contracts, (gain)/loss on sale of vessels, fair
value measurement of equity securities, 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 March 31, 2022
compared to the three-month period ended March 31,
2021
During the three-month periods ended March 31,
2022 and 2021, we had an average of 117.4 and 62.7 vessels,
respectively, in our fleet.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2022,
we accepted delivery of the secondhand container vessel Dyros (ex.
Co Kobe) with a TEU capacity of 4,578 and of the secondhand dry
bulk vessels Oracle (ex. Belstar), Libra (ex. Universal Bremen) and
Norma (ex. Magda) with an aggregate DWT of 172,717. Furthermore, in
the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, we sold the container
vessel Messini, with a TEU capacity of 2,458.
In the three-month period ended March 31, 2021,
we accepted delivery of the newbuild container vessel YM Target
with a TEU capacity of 12,690, the secondhand container vessels
Aries, Argus and Glen Canyon, which have an aggregate TEU capacity
of 18,626 and we sold the container vessel Halifax Express with a
TEU capacity of 4,890. Furthermore, in the three-month period ended
March 31, 2021, we acquired (i) the 75% equity interest held by
funds managed and/or advised by York Capital Management Global
Advisors LLC (“York”) in each of the 11,010 TEU container vessels
Cape Kortia and Cape Sounio and (ii) the 51% equity interest held
by funds managed and/or advised by York Capital Management 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 container vessels.
In the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022
and 2021, our fleet ownership days totaled 10,564 and 5,640 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 111.5%, or $141.3
million, to $268.0 million during the three-month period ended
March 31, 2022, from $126.7 million during the three-month period
ended March 31, 2021. The increase is mainly attributable to (i)
revenue earned by one container vessel and two dry bulk vessels
acquired during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, as
well as by 16 container vessels and 43 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 one container vessel sold during the
three-month period ended March 31, 2022 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 112.5%,
or $143.7 million, to $271.4 million during the three-month period
ended March 31, 2022, from $127.7 million during the three-month
period ended March 31, 2021. Accrued charter revenue for the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was a positive
amount of $3.4 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $8.6 million and $1.0
million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses
of our vessels, primarily related to fuel consumption and (ii)
address and third-party commissions.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties were $3.7
million and $1.9 million for the three-month periods ended March
31, 2022 and 2021, 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 March 31, 2022 and 2021,
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 $65.7 million and $31.8
million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively. Daily vessels’ operating expenses were $6,223
and $5,634 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and
2021, respectively. The increase in the daily operating expenses
during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 is mainly attributable to
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 $3.3
million and $2.0 million during the three-month periods ended March
31, 2022 and 2021, 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 $10.9 million and $5.5 million during the three-month
periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses - non-cash
component
General and administrative expenses - non-cash
component for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 amounted
to $2.6 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a
related party manager on March 30, 2022. General and administrative
expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended
March 31, 2021 amounted to $1.4 million, representing the value of
the shares issued to a related party manager on March 31, 2021.
Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special
Survey
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special
survey costs was $2.7 million and $2.3 million during the
three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, 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 March 31, 2021, one
vessel underwent and completed her special survey and two vessels
were in the process of completing their special survey.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the three-month periods
ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $41.2 million and $27.1 million,
respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to the increased
average number of vessels we owned during the three-month period
ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three-month period ended March
31, 2021.
Gain / (Loss) on Sale of Vessels
During the three-month period ended March 31,
2022, we recorded a gain of $17.8 million from the sale of the
container vessel Messini, which was classified as asset held for
sale as at December 31, 2021. During the three-month period ended
March 31, 2021, we recorded a loss of $0.3 million from the sale of
the container vessel Halifax Express, which was classified as asset
held for sale as at December 31, 2020.
Vessels Held for Sale
During the three-month period ended March 31,
2022, the container vessels Sealand Washington, Maersk Kalamata and
the dry bulk vessel Thunder were classified as vessels held for
sale. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2022, the container vessels
Sealand Illinois, Sealand Michigan and York continue to be
classified as vessels held for sale (initially classified as
vessels held for sale as of December 31, 2021). No loss on vessels
held sale was recorded during the first quarter of 2022 since each
vessel’s estimated fair value exceeded each vessel’s carrying
value.
During the three-month period ended March 31,
2021, the container vessels Venetiko and Prosper were classified as
vessels held for sale. No loss on vessels held sale was recorded
during the first quarter of 2021 since each vessel’s estimated fair
value exceeded each vessel’s carrying value.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to nil and $0.4 million
for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs were $25.1 million
and $16.1 million during the three-month periods ended March 31,
2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase is mainly attributable to
the increased average loan balances during the three-month period
ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three-month period ended March
31, 2021 and by the increased financing cost during the three-month
period ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three-month period
ended March 31, 2021.
Fair value measurement of equity securities
Fair value measurement of equity securities of
$25.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2021,
represents the difference between the aggregate fair value of the
ordinary shares of ZIM that we owned as at March 31, 2021 of $29.7
million compared to the book value of these shares of $3.8 million
as of December 31, 2020. During the fourth quarter of 2021 we sold
all the ordinary shares of ZIM we owned. 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 March 31,
2022, we recorded an income from equity method investments of $0.3
million representing our share of the income in jointly owned
companies set up pursuant to the Framework Deed dated May 15, 2013,
as amended and restated from time to time (the “Framework Deed”),
with York. Since late March 2021, we have held 100% of the equity
interest in five previously jointly owned companies pursuant to the
Framework Deed, and since then these five companies are
consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. As of March
31, 2022, six companies are jointly owned pursuant to the Framework
Deed (of which, four companies currently own container vessels).
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, we recorded an
income from equity method investments of $4.0 million relating to
investments under the Framework Deed. As of March 31, 2021, eight
companies were jointly owned pursuant to the Framework Deed (of
which, five companies owned container vessels). The decreased
income from equity method investments in the first quarter of 2022
compared to the first quarter of 2021 is mainly attributable to the
decreased number of container vessels jointly owned with York
during the first quarter of 2022 compared to the first quarter of
2021.
Gain / (loss) on Derivative Instruments
As of March 31, 2022, we hold 17 interest rate
derivative instruments and two cross currency rate swaps, all of
which qualify for hedge accounting. As a result, the change in the
fair value of each instrument is recorded in “Other Comprehensive
Income” (“OCI”). As of March 31, 2022, the fair value of these
instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $9.1 million.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, a gain of $21.2
million has been recorded in OCI and a loss of $0.1 million has
been recorded in Gain/(loss) on Derivative Instruments.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities
for the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, increased by $83.1
million to $154.3 million, from $71.2 million for the three-month
period ended March 31, 2021. The increase is mainly attributable to
increased cash from operations of $143.7 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 $2.4 million,
by the increased payments for interest (including swap payments) of
$4.1 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022
compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2021 and by the
increased dry-docking and special survey costs of $0.4 million
during the three-month period ended March 31, 2022 compared to the
three-month period ended March 31, 2021.
Net Cash Used in Investing

secondhand dry bulk vessels, (ii) settlement payment for the
delivery of one secondhand dry bulk vessel, (iii) payment for the
purchase of short-term investments and (iv) payments for upgrades
for certain of our container and dry bulk vessels; partly off-set
by proceeds we received from the sale of the container vessel
Messini.
Net cash used in investing activities was $86.4
million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, which
mainly consisted of (i) net payments for the acquisition of the 75%
equity interest in two companies and the 51% equity interest held
by funds managed and/or advised by York in two companies,
originally set up pursuant to the Framework Deed , (ii) payments
for the delivery of one newbuild and three secondhand container
vessels, (iii) advance payments for the acquisition of three
secondhand container vessels and (iv) payments for upgrades for
certain of our container vessels; partly off-set by proceeds we
received from the sale of one container vessel.
Net Cash Provided by Financing
Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$26.9 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2022, which
mainly consisted of (a) $47.9 million net proceeds relating to our

received from our debt financing agreements), (b) $10.7 million we
paid for dividends to holders of our common stock for the fourth
quarter of 2021 and (c) $0.9 million we paid for dividends to
holders of our 7.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual

to holders of our common stock for the fourth quarter of 2020 and
(c) $0.9 million we paid for dividends to holders of our Series B

Liquidity and Unencumbered Vessels
Cash and cash equivalents
As of March 31, 2022, we had Cash and cash
equivalents of $487.9 million, consisting of cash, cash equivalents
and restricted cash. Furthermore, as of March 31, 2022, we had
liquidity of $491.1 million (including our share of cash amounting
to $3.2 million held in joint venture companies set up pursuant to
the Framework Deed), which coupled with the $152.5 million of
undrawn funds from our two hunting license facilities (adjusted for
the $67.5 million already drawn in 2022), amounted to $643.6
million.
