New Business Developments
New Acquisitions
- We have ordered nine newbuilds with capacities between 9,000 and 14,000 TEU pursuant to our joint venture agreement with York Capital Management ("York). The newbuilds are scheduled to be delivered between the 4th quarter of 2015 and the third quarter of 2016. The Company holds an equity interest ranging between 25% and 49% in each of the relevant vessel-owning entities. Long term time charters have been agreed for the five 14,000 TEU capacity newbuilds with members of the Evergreen Group ("Evergreen") which represent total contracted revenue for the joint venture of $ 850 million, assuming the exercise of the owner's options.
Deliveries of existing orders
- In November 2013, the Company took delivery of the 8,827 TEU newbuild containership vessel Vantage built by Sungdong Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering in South Korea. Upon delivery, the vessel commenced its long term charter with Evergreen.
- In January 2014, the Company took delivery of the 9,403 TEU newbuild containership vessel MSC Azov built by Shanghai Jiangnan Changxing Heavy Industry in China. Upon delivery, the vessel commenced its long term charter with MSC.
New Financing Arrangements
- In January 2014 we agreed with a leading Chinese financial institution the refinancing of three of our newbuildings, under a ten-year sale and leaseback transaction. The refinancing of the first vessel, the 9,403 TEU MSC Azov, became effective upon her delivery on January 14, 2014. Under the sale and leaseback transaction, the vessel will be chartered back on a bareboat basis to one of our subsidiaries and will remain on time charter to its current time charterer.
New Chartering Arrangements
- In January 2014, the Company entered into an agreement to charter the 2010 built 8,531 TEU vessel Navarino for a period of approximately one year to MSC. The vessel is expected to be delivered to its charterers in March 2014.
- In October 2013, the Company entered into an agreement to extend the charter of the 1991 built 3,351 TEU vessel Karmen for a period of minimum two months and maximum six months with Sea Consortium at a daily rate of $6,800, starting from November 15, 2013.
Preferred Share Offering
- On January 21, 2014, the Company completed a public offering of 4.0 million shares of its 8.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series C Preferred Stock"). The gross proceeds from the offering before the underwriting discount and other offering expenses were $100.0 million. We plan to use the net proceeds of this offering for general corporate purposes, including vessel acquisitions or investments under the Framework Agreement.
Dividend Announcements
- On January 2, 2014, we declared a dividend of $0.476563 per share of our Series B Preferred Stock paid on January 15, 2014, to holders of record on January 14, 2014.
- On January 6, 2014, we declared a dividend for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2013, of $0.27 per share of our common stock, payable on February 4, 2014, to stockholders of record at the close of trading of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on January 21, 2014. This will be the Company's 13th 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 fourth quarter of the year, the Company delivered positive results while at the same time implementing its fleet renewal and expansion strategy.
Together with our partners we have ordered in total 9 newbuildings with deliveries starting from the end of 2015. Five 14,000 TEU ships have been chartered to Evergreen under long-term charters, representing total contracted revenues of approximately $850 million.
Regarding our existing newbuilding program, we accepted delivery of eight out of the ten newbuildings ordered in total. The remaining two deliveries are expected to take place in March and April of 2014.
On the financing front, we have agreed to refinance three of our newbuildings with a leading Chinese financial institution, and last week we completed a public offering of 4.0 million perpetual preferred shares, raising gross proceeds of $100.0 million.
Regarding our chartering arrangements, our re-chartering risk is minimized. The charters for the vessels opening in 2014 account for approximately 3% of our 2014 contracted revenues.
Finally, on January 2, we declared a dividend on our Series B Preferred Stock, and on January 6, we declared a dividend on our common stock.
We are successfully executing on our growth strategy, having invested and placed orders together with our partners close to $1.0 billion in new projects since the inception of our joint venture 8 months ago. This year also marks the 40th anniversary of Costamare. We feel we are well positioned to continue to grow selectively and on healthy grounds."

(1) Accrued charter revenue represents the difference between cash received during the period and revenue recognized on a straight-line basis. In the early years of a charter with escalating charter rates, voyage revenue will exceed cash received during the period, and during the last years of such charter cash received will exceed revenue recognized on a straight line basis.
(2) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis represents Voyage revenue after adjusting for non-cash "Accrued charter revenue" recorded under charters with escalating charter rates. However, Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or "GAAP." We believe that the presentation of Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is useful to investors because it presents the charter revenue for the relevant period based on the then current daily charter rates. The increases or decreases in daily charter rates under our charter party agreements are described in the notes to the "Fleet List" below.
(3) Adjusted net income, 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 years and three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and December 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/ disposal 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 and special survey costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs, non-cash "Accrued charter revenue" recorded under charters with escalating charter rates, gain/ (loss) on sale/disposal 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 December 31, 2013 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012
During the three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, we had an average of 51.6 and 47.0 vessels, respectively, in our fleet. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, we accepted delivery of the newbuild vessel Vantage with a TEU capacity of 8,827. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, no vessels were acquired or sold. In the three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, our fleet ownership days totaled 4,746 and 4,324 days, respectively. Ownership days are the primary driver of voyage revenue and vessels' operating expenses and represent the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet is owned.

Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue increased by 18.2%, or $17.3 million, to $112.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $95.2 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. This increase was mainly due to (i) revenue earned by the newbuild vessels delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013; partly offset by (ii) decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, and (iii) revenues not earned by vessels which were sold for scrap during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash "Accrued charter revenue"), increased by 19.7%, or $19.2 million, to $116.8 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $97.6 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. This increase was mainly due to (i) revenue earned by the newbuild vessels delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013; partly offset by (ii) decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, and (iii) revenues not earned by vessels which were sold for scrap during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses decreased by 33.3% or $0.5 million, to $1.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $1.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses of our fleet, mainly related to fuel consumption and (ii) third party commissions. The decrease during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, was mainly attributable to the decreased off-hire expenses, mainly relating to bunkers consumption.
Voyage Expenses - related parties
Voyage expenses - related parties in the amount of $0.9 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 and in the amount of $0.7 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, represent fees of 0.75% on voyage revenues charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as provided under our group management agreement.
Vessels' Operating Expenses
Vessels' operating expenses, which also include the realized gain/ (loss) under derivative contracts entered into in relation to foreign currency exposure, increased by 8.3%, or $2.3 million, to $30.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $27.8 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase was partly attributable to the increased ownership days of our fleet during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $4.2 million, to $5.2 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $1.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. General and administrative expenses for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, included $0.25 million in each period for the services of the Company's officers in aggregate charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as provided under our group management agreement.
Management Fees - related parties
Management fees paid to our managers increased by 10.5%, or $0.4 million, to $4.2 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $3.8 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) the inflation related upward adjustment by 4% of the management fee for each vessel (effective January 1, 2013), as provided under our group management agreement and (ii) the increased average number of vessels during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.
Amortization of Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $1.9 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 and $2.2 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. During the three-month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, one vessel and three vessels, respectively, underwent and completed their special survey.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense increased by 22.8%, or $4.6 million, to $24.8 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $20.2 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to the depreciation expense charged for the seven newbuilding vessels delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013, partly offset by the depreciation expense not charged for the vessels sold for scrap during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Gain on Sale/Disposal of Vessels
During the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, no vessels were sold. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a book gain of $1.5 million from the effect of the partial reversal of a provision recorded in 2011 for costs associated with the grounding of the vessel Rena.
Foreign Exchange Losses
Foreign exchange losses were $0.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013 and $0.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.
Interest Income
Interest income decreased by 66.7% or $0.2 million, to $0.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $0.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased average cash balance during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs increased by 4.1%, or $0.7 million, to $17.6 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, from $16.9 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased interest expense charged to the consolidated income statement in relation with the loan facilities of the seven newbuild vessels which were delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013; partly offset by the decreased loan commitment fees charged to us during the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2012.
Equity Gain on Investments
The equity gain on investments of $0.4 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2013, represents our share of the net earnings of thirteen jointly owned companies pursuant to the Framework Agreement with York. We hold a range of 25% to 49% of the capital stock of these companies.
Loss on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 27 interest rate derivative instruments which were outstanding as of December 31, 2013, equates to the amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of these 27 interest rate derivative instruments in aggregate amounted to a liability of $103.2 million. Twenty-six of the 27 interest rate derivative instruments that were outstanding as at December 31, 2013, qualified for hedge accounting and the effective portion of the change in their fair value is recorded in "Other Comprehensive Income" ("OCI")". For the three-month period ended December 31, 2013, a net gain of $12.0 million has been included in "OCI" and a net loss of $0.3 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, 2013.

The increase was primarily attributable to increased cash from operations of $19.3 million due to cash generated from the chartering of the seven newbuild vessels delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013 and to decreased dry-docking payments of $2.3 million, partly offset by 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 $5.1 million.

Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue increased by 7.3%, or $28.0 million, to $414.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, from $386.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase was mainly attributable to (i) revenue earned by the newbuild vessels delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013; partly offset by (ii) decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels during the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, and (iii) revenues not earned by vessels which were sold for scrap during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash "Accrued charter revenue"), increased by 9.4%, or $36.8 million, to $429.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, from $392.4 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. This increase was mainly attributable to (i) revenue earned by the newbuild vessels delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013; partly offset by (ii) decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels during the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the year ended December 31, 2012, and (iii) revenues not earned by vessels which were sold for scrap during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses decreased by 36.4%, or $2.0 million, to $3.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, from $5.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased off-hire expenses of our fleet, mainly bunkers consumption and by the decreased third party commissions charged to us during the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.
Voyage Expenses - related parties
Voyage expenses - related parties increased by 6.9% or $0.2 million to $3.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, from $2.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 and represent fees of 0.75% on voyage revenues charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as provided under our group management agreement.
Vessels' Operating Expenses
Vessels' operating expenses, which also includes the realized gain/ (loss) under derivative contracts entered into in relation to foreign currency exposure, increased by 3.1% or $3.5 million to $116.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, from $112.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was mainly attributable to the increased ownership days of our fleet during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by $4.5 million, to $8.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, from $4.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. Furthermore, General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, include $1.0 million in each period for the services of the Company's officers in aggregate charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as provided under our group management agreement.
Management Fees - related parties
Management fees paid to our managers increased by 9.2%, or $1.4 million, to $16.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, from $15.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to (i) the inflation related upward adjustment by 4% of the management fee for each vessel (effective January 1, 2013), as provided under our group management agreement and (ii) the increased average number of vessels during the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the year ended December 31, 2012.
Amortization of Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $8.1 million and $8.2 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, eight vessels and nine vessels, respectively, underwent their special survey.

The increase was primarily attributable to the depreciation expense charged for the seven newbuild vessels delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Gain/ (Loss) on Sale/Disposal of Vessels
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we recorded a net gain of $0.5 million from the sale of three vessels. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we recorded a net loss of $2.8 million mainly from the sale of four vessels (including the effect of the partial reversal of a provision recorded in 2011 for costs associated with the grounding of the vessel Rena).

Interest and finance costs decreased by 0.3%, or $0.2 million, to $74.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2013, from $74.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2012. The decrease was mainly attributable to (i) the capitalized interest in relation with our newbuilding program, (ii) the decreased commitment fees charged to us; partly offset by the increased interest expense charged to our consolidated income statement in relation with the loan facilities of the seven newbuild vessels which were delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013.
Equity Gain on Investments
The equity gain on investments of $0.7 million represents our share of the net earnings of thirteen jointly owned companies formed pursuant to the Framework Agreement with York. We hold a range of 25% to 49% of the capital stock of each company.
Gain/ (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 27 interest rate derivative instruments which were outstanding as of December 31, 2013, equates to the amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of these 27 interest rate derivative instruments in aggregate amounted to a liability of $103.2 million. Twenty-six of the 27 interest rate derivative instruments that were outstanding as at December 31, 2013, qualified for hedge accounting and the effective portion of the change in their fair value is recorded in "Other Comprehensive Income" ("OCI"). For the year ended December 31, 2013, a gain of $71.1 million has been included in "OCI" and a net gain of $6.5 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 year ended December 31, 2013.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2013, increased by $18.6 million to $186.7 million, compared to $168.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to increased cash from operations of $36.8 million due to cash generated from the charters of the seven newbuild vessels delivered to us during the year ended December 31, 2013 and to decreased dry-docking payments of $5.0 million, partly offset by 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 $20.1 million and increased payments for interest (including swap payments) of $2.7 million.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $621.1 million in the year ended December 31, 2013, which consisted primarily of (a) $590.4 million advance payments for the construction and purchase of ten newbuild vessels, (b) $51.9 million in payments for the acquisition of four secondhand vessels, (c) $8.7 million in payments, pursuant to the Framework Agreement with York, to hold a minority equity interest in jointly-owned companies, (d) $13.9 million net proceeds we received from the sale for scrap of MSC Antwerp and MSC Austria (including $0.6 million in payments for expenses related to the sale of MSC Washington) and (e) $16.0 million we received, pursuant to the Framework Agreement with York, for York's 51% equity interest in the ship-owning companies of the vessels Petalidi, Ensenada Express and X-Press Padma and for initial working capital for such ship-owning companies.
Net cash used in investing activities was $236.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2012, which consisted of (a) $191.2 million advance payments for the construction and purchase of ten newbuild vessels, (b) $74.1 million in payments for the acquisition of five secondhand vessels and (c) $28.7 million we received from the sale of four vessels, including the advance payment we received from the sale of one vessel for scrap which was delivered to her scrap buyers in January 2013.
Net Cash Provided By Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $260.4 million in the year ended December 31, 2013, which mainly consisted of (a) $163.7 million of indebtedness that we repaid, (b) $469.4 million we drew down from four of our credit facilities, (c) $80.8 million we paid for dividends to our stockholders for the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2012, and the first, second and third quarters of 2013, (d) $48.0 million net proceeds we received from our public offering in August 2013 of 2.0 million shares of our 7.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares, net of underwriting discounts and expenses incurred in the offering and (e) $0.7 million we paid for dividends to holders of our 7.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Shares for the period from August 6, 2013 to October 14, 2013.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $237.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2012, which mainly consisted of (a) $170.2 million of indebtedness that we repaid, (b) $288.6 million we drew down from six of our credit facilities, (c) $73.1 million we paid for dividends to our stockholders for the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2011, first quarter of the year 2012, the second quarter of the year 2012 and the third quarter of the year 2012 and (d) $194.1 million net proceeds we received from our two follow-on offerings in March 2012 and October 2012, net of underwriting discounts and expenses incurred in the offerings.
