(A) 12x 9,200 TEU NEWBUILDS
^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 three-month period ended March 31, 2025, include the results of the dry bulk business. There are no results of discontinued operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Accordingly, results of discontinued operations are not comparable between 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 $19.4 million.
^4^ The declaration and amount of a dividend is subject to the discretion of the Board and accordingly will depend on, among other things, the Company’s earnings, financial condition and cash requirements and availability, the Company’s ability to obtain debt and equity financing on acceptable terms as contemplated by the Company’s growth strategy, the restrictive covenants in the Company’s existing and future debt instruments and global economic conditions.
^5^ The shipbuilding contract prices and 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 April 28, 2026, and are shown for presentation purposes only.

Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Financial Officer of Costamare Inc., commented:
“During the first quarter of the year, the Company generated Net Income of about $75 million. Total liquidity amounted to about $645 million.
Executing on our strategy of renewing the fleet and securing long-term cash flows from high quality counterparties, we have ordered a total of 16 newbuildings from two first-class Chinese shipyards. Twelve of the ships are 9,200 TEUs and four are 3,100 TEUs capacity. The vessels are expected to be delivered between the fourth quarter of 2027 and the second quarter of 2030. Upon delivery all ships will commence long-term charters with Cosco Shipping, with durations of 15 years for the twelve 9,200 TEU ships and 8 years for the four 3,100 TEU vessels.
We are pleased to expand our valued and long-lasting relationship with Cosco through the completion of our latest 16 newbuilding transaction. Incremental contracted revenues from the new charters amount to about $2.8 billion.
The acquisitions will be funded with equity and debt. Pre- and post- delivery financing for a tenor of up to 15 years has been arranged for all 16 ships with two leading Chinese financial institutions.
In addition to the above, we have agreed to acquire two secondhand 5,600 TEU vessels built in 2001. The acquisitions are expected to be completed in Q4 2026, upon which each vessel shall commence a 42-month time charter with a leading liner operator.
As a consequence, total contracted revenues have reached $6.2 billion with a remaining time charter duration of 6.1 years.
In light of the above, management is pleased to recommend to the Board of Directors to increase the quarterly dividend per share from 11.5 cents to 12.5 cents to reward our shareholders as a result of increased cash flows, profitability and visibility. We do not expect this dividend to adversely affect our capacity to continue growing on a healthy basis despite a volatile market environment.”

(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 (i) for 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.

All values are in US Dollars.
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 loss on Euro/USD forward contracts, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component 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<br>continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as deductions to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available<br>to common stockholders. Charges negatively impacting Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected<br>as increases to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders. |

^(II)^Vessels that are part of continuing operations.
Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue decreased by 7.2%, or $15.6 million, to $201.6 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $217.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The decrease, period over period, is mainly attributable to (i) the net decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels, (ii) the increased off-hire days of our fleet (mainly due to scheduled off-hire days of our fleet for dry-dockings and special surveys) during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and (iii) the lower accounting voyage revenue recorded for two of our vessels that are classified as sale type leases; 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 voyage 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 7.4%, or $15.9 million, to $199.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, from $215.1 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Income from investments in leaseback vessels
Income from investments in leaseback vessels was $9.5 million and $5.7 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income from investments in leaseback vessels increased, period over period, due to the increased volume of NML’s operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. NML acquires, owns and bareboat charters out vessels through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $15.4 million and $9.5 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses increased, period over period, mainly due to the recognition of costs associated with EUAs, Fuel EU Maritime penalties 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.
2
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties were $2.5 million and $2.9 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 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 $0.4 million, in the aggregate, for the three-month periods ended March 31, 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 $42.2 million and $38.5 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily vessels’ operating expenses were $6,789 and $6,283 for the three-month periods ended March 31, 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 $5.2 million and $4.2 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and include amounts of $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, that were paid to a related service provider.
Management Fees – related parties
Management fees charged by our related party managers were $7.3 million and $7.0 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amounts charged by our related party managers include amounts paid to third party managers of $1.4 million for each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses - non-cash component
General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 amounted to $2.5 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 30, 2026. General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 amounted to $1.5 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 31, 2025.
Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $5.5 million and $4.7 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, two vessels underwent and completed their special surveys, and five vessels were in the process of completing their special surveys. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, one vessel underwent and completed her special survey, and one vessel was in the process of completing her special survey.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were $32.8 million and $31.6 million, respectively.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to $3.8 million and $6.3 million for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs were $19.0 million and $23.0 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased interest expense due to a lower average loan balance.

Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments, net
As of March 31, 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 March 31, 2026, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $15.4 million. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of March 31, 2026 compared to the fair value as of December 31, 2025) of the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting resulted in a net gain of $1.3 million, which has been included in OCI. Furthermore, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 the change in the fair value (fair value as of March 31, 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 quarter, resulted in a net loss of $0.5 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 March 31, 2026 decreased by $34.8 million to $112.4 million, from $147.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025. The decrease is mainly attributable to decreased net cash from operations during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 and the increased special survey costs during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2025; partly offset by the favorable change in working capital position, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and the accrued charter revenue (as described above) and by the decrease in interest payments (including interest derivatives net receipts) during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.
Net Cash Provided by / (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $14.6 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, which mainly consisted of (i) advance payment for the construction of one newbuild container vessel and (ii) payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels; partly offset by net receipts for net investments into which NML entered.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $2.5 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, which mainly consisted of net receipts for net investments into which NML entered; partly offset by payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels.

(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 (i) for 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.

All values are in US Dollars.
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 loss on Euro/USD forward contracts, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component 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.
