("Costamare" or the "Company") (NYSE: CMRE) today reported unaudited financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
Financial Highlights
- Voyage revenues of $91.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
- Voyage revenues adjusted on a cash basis $94.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
- Adjusted EBITDA of $61.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

- Adjusted net income of $21.9 million or $0.29 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
New Business Developments
- On March 14 and April 8, 2013, the Company took delivery of the 8,827 TEU newbuild containership vessels MSC Athens and MSC Athos, which were both built by Sungdong Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering in South Korea. Upon delivery, both vessels commenced their 10-year charters with Mediterranean Shipping Company, S.A. ("MSC").
- Sold the 1984-built, 3,584 TEU containership MSC Austria for demolition for approximately $7.9 million. The vessel was delivered to its buyers on April 24, 2013. The sale of the MSC Austria resulted in a book gain of approximately $4.0 million.
- Agreed with MSC to replace the 1981-built, 3,876 TEU containership MSC Kyoto in the charter party of the MSC Austria which was sold for demolition.
- Entered into an agreement to charter the 1996-built, 1,504 TEU containership Prosper to COSCO, for a period of approximately one year at a daily rate of $7,350. The vessel was delivered to its charterers on April 16, 2013.
- Exercised the option to extend the charter of the 1995-built, 1,162 TEU containership Zagora with MSC for a further period of two years starting from May 1, 2013. The daily rate for the first year of the extension was set at $5,700, based on the closest category on the ConTex Index.
Dividend Announcements
- On April 10, 2013, the Company declared a dividend for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013, of $0.27 per share, payable on May 8, 2013, to stockholders of record at the close of trading of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on April 24, 2013. This will be the Company's tenth 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 first quarter of the year, the Company delivered positive results.
In accordance with our new-building program, we took delivery of the first two 9,000 TEU newbuild containership vessels. Both vessels commenced their 10-year charters with MSC. This addition, along with the remaining eight vessels currently on order and scheduled for delivery within the next 10 months, will contribute in excess of $1.3 billion of contracted revenues throughout the duration of their charters.
Taking advantage of attractive demolition rates, we sold the 1984-built, 3,584 TEU containership MSC Austria for approximately $7.9 million. The sale resulted in a book gain of approximately $4.0 million.
On the chartering side, the Company has no ships laid up. We recently entered into an agreement to charter the 1996-built, 1,504 TEU containership Prosper to COSCO, for a period of approximately one year at a competitive daily rate of $7,350.
In a challenging market we have minimized our re-chartering risk. The charters for the vessels opening in 2013 and 2014 account for approximately 4% and 3% of our 2013 and 2014 contracted revenues, respectively.
Finally, on April 10, 2013, we declared a dividend for the first quarter of $0.27 per share. Consistent with our dividend policy, we continue to offer an attractive dividend, which we consider to be sustainable based on the size of our contracted cash flows, the quality of our charterers and the prudent amortization of our debt.
We believe that going forward, a containership market under pressure provides us with the opportunity to expand opportunistically in a low rate and asset values 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 a 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, 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 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. Tables below set out supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012. 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, (iii) Adjusted earnings per share, (iv) EBITDA and (v) Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net income and Adjusted Earnings per Share represent net income before non-cash "Accrued charter revenue" recorded under charters with escalating charter rates, gain/(loss) on sale of vessels, realized (gain)/loss on Euro/USD forward contracts and non-cash changes in fair value of derivatives. "Accrued charter revenue" is attributed to the timing difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection. However, Adjusted Net income 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 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 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 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 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 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 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 represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation and amortization of deferred dry-docking & special survey costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, amortization of deferred dry-docking & special survey costs, non-cash "Accrued charter revenue" recorded under charters with escalating charter rates, gain/(loss) on sale of vessels, realized (gain)/loss on Euro/USD forward contracts and non-cash changes in fair value of derivatives. "Accrued charter revenue" is attributed to the time difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection. However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or "GAAP." We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity position compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of 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 unusual or non-recurring items.
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 March 31, 2013 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2012
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we had an average of 46.9 and 46.5 vessels, respectively, in our fleet. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, we accepted delivery of the newbuild vessel MSC Athens with a TEU capacity of 8,827, the secondhand vessel Venetiko with a TEU capacity of 5,928, and we sold the vessel MSC Washington, with a TEU capacity of 3,876. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, we accepted delivery of the secondhand vessel MSC Ulsan with a TEU capacity of 4,132, and we sold the vessel Gather, with a TEU capacity of 2,922. In the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, our fleet ownership days totaled 4,221 and 4,227 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 decreased by 8.5%, or $8.5 million, to $91.5 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, from $100.0 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. This decrease is mainly due to (i) decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, (ii) revenues not earned by vessels which were sold for scrap after the first quarter of 2012, partly offset by the revenues earned by vessels acquired after the first quarter of 2012. Voyage revenues adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash "Accrued charter revenue"), decreased by 5.7%, or $5.7 million, to $94.8 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, from $100.5 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $0.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, and $0.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses of our fleet, basically fuel consumption and (ii) third party commissions.
Voyage Expenses - related parties
Voyage expenses - related parties in the amount of $0.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and in the amount of $0.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, represent fees of 0.75% on voyage revenues charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as provided under our management agreement signed on November 3, 2010.
Vessels' Operating Expenses
Vessels' operating expenses, which also include the realized gain/ (loss) under derivative contracts entered into in relation to foreign currency exposure, increased by 0.7%, or $0.2 million, to $27.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, from $27.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $0.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and $0.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. General and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, include $0.25 million, respectively, for the services of the Company's officers in aggregate charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as provided under our management agreement signed on November 3, 2010.
Management Fees - related parties
Management fees paid to our managers increased by 5.4%, or $0.2 million, to $3.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, from $3.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to the upward adjustment by 4% of the management fee for each vessel (effective January 1, 2013), as provided under our management agreement signed on November 3, 2010.
Amortization of Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $2.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2013 and $1.9 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, two vessels and two vessels, respectively, underwent their special survey. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, one vessel completed its respective works and one was in process. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, one vessel completed its respective works and one was in process.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense decreased by 0.5%, or $0.1 million, to $19.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, from $20.0 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The decrease was attributable to the decreased calendar days by one day during the first quarter of 2013 (90 calendar days) compared to the first quarter of 2012 (91 calendar days), slightly offset by the increase of the average number of vessels.
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Vessels
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a gain of $2.9 million from the sale of one vessel. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, we recorded a loss of $2.8 million mainly from the sale of one vessel.
Foreign Exchange Gains
Foreign exchange gains amounted to $0.1 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Interest Income
During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, interest income was $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs decreased by 13.3%, or $2.7 million, to $17.6 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, from $20.3 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2012. The decrease is partly attributable to decreased interest expense charged to us and to decreased commitment fees charged to us, partly offset by the capitalized interest in relation with our newbuilding program.
Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 30 interest rate derivative instruments which were outstanding as of March 31, 2013, equates to the amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of these 30 interest rate derivative instruments in aggregate amounted to a liability of $165.3 million. Twenty-nine of the 30 interest rate derivative instruments that were outstanding as at March 31, 2013, qualified for hedge accounting and the effective portion of the change in their fair value is recorded in "Comprehensive loss". For the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, a net gain of $12.4 million has been included in "Comprehensive loss" and a gain of $3.2 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 March 31, 2013.

The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased cash from operations of $5.7 million due to decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels during the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2012, partly offset by (a) favorable 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 $1.6 million, (b) decreased dry-docking payments of $0.7 million and (c) decreased payments for interest (including swap payments) of $0.9 million.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $ 149.6 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2013, which consisted of (a) $129.2 million advance payments for the construction and purchase of three newbuild vessels, (b) $22.2 million in payments for the acquisition of one secondhand vessel, (c) $2.4 million advance payment we received from the sale of one vessel for scrap which was delivered to her scrap buyers on April 24, 2013 and (d) $0.6 million in payments for expenses related to the sale of vessel MSC Washington.
