New Business Developments
A. New financing transactions
- In May 2016, we entered into a $39.0 million, 5 year loan facility with a leading US financial institution. The
facility will be secured with a first priority mortgage on the 2010-built 8,531TEU Navarino.
- In June 2016, we entered into a loan agreement with a leading European financial institution for the financing of
the first two 11,000 TEU vessels on order which were acquired pursuant to our joint venture with York. The
facility is for an amount of up to $88 million and will be payable in five years. The proceeds are expected to
finance the remaining yard instalments for each of the two vessels.
B. Re-financing of an existing facility
- In July 2016, we finalized the re-financing of our credit facility secured with the 2013-built 8,827 TEU MSC
Athens and MSC Athos containerships as collateral, with a Chinese financial institution. The new
financing, which is for a total of approximately $152 million, is under the structure of a sale and leaseback
transaction.
C. Newbuild vessel deliveries
- On May 3, 2016 and June 13, 2016, we accepted delivery of the 14,424TEU containerships Triton and
Titan, two containerships acquired pursuant to our joint venture with York that are subject to sale and
leaseback transactions with Chinese financial institutions. The vessels commenced their 10year time charters with
Evergreen. Costamare holds a 40% interest in the entities that own each vessel.
D. New charter agreements
- The Company entered into the following charter arrangements:
- Agreed to extend the charters of the 4,890 TEU containerships Oakland Express, Halifax Express and
Singapore Express, built in 2000, with Hapag-Lloyd for a period expiring at the charterer's option during the
period from November 2016 through June 2017, starting from September 8, 2016, October 25, 2016 and July 14, 2016,
respectively, at a daily rate of $6,300.
- Agreed to extend the charter of the 2004-built, 4,992 TEU containership Zim Piraeus with Zim for a
period of 5 to 8 months starting from August 1, 2016 at a daily rate of $5,350.
- Agreed to extend the charter of the 1992-built, 3,351 TEU containership Marina with Evergreen for a period
expiring at the charterer's option during the period from June 10, 2016 through November 30, 2016, at a daily rate of
$6,000.
- Agreed to charter the 1998-built, 3,842 TEU containership Itea with ACL for a period of 70 to 75 days starting
from June 30, 2016, at a daily rate of $6,250.
- Agreed to charter the 2000-built, 1,645 TEU containership Neapolis with Evergreen for a period of 6 to 9
months starting from July 11, 2016, at a daily rate of $6,900.
- Agreed to charter the 1996-built, 1,504 TEU containership Prosper with Evergreen for a period of 3 to 6 months
starting from May 15, 2016, at a daily rate of $6,600.
E. Dividend announcements
- On July 6, 2016, we declared a dividend for the second quarter ended June 30, 2016, of $0.29 per share on our common stock,
payable on August 17, 2016, to stockholders of record on August 3, 2016.
- On July 6, 2016, we declared a dividend of $0.476563 per share on our Series B Preferred Stock, a dividend of $0.531250 per
share on our Series C Preferred Stock and a dividend of $0.546875 per share on our Series D Preferred Stock which were all paid
on July 15, 2016 to holders of record on July 14, 2016.
F. New dividend reinvestment plan
- On July 6, 2016, we implemented a dividend reinvestment plan (the "plan"). The plan offers holders of Company common stock
the opportunity to purchase additional shares by having their cash dividends automatically reinvested in Company common stock.
Participation in the plan is optional, and shareholders who decide not to participate in the plan will continue to receive cash
dividends, as declared and paid in the usual manner.
The terms and conditions of the plan are set forth under the heading "Description of Plan" in the prospectus available as
part of the registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on the SEC's
website at http://www.sec.gov.
Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Financial Officer of Costamare Inc., commented:
"During the second quarter the Company continued to deliver solid and profitable results.
Regarding new financings, we have secured funding for our first two 11,000 TEU new buildings, minimizing our remaining capital
commitments and we have entered into new debt transactions financing debt free and refinancing existing assets at competitive
terms.
On the chartering side, we continue to employ our vessels at favorable rates despite adverse market conditions, having
chartered in total eight ships opening during the last three months.
Regarding our new building program, we have accepted delivery, as per schedule, of the first two out of the five 14,000 TEU
vessels, which have commenced their 10-year charter.
Finally, we implemented a dividend reinvestment plan available to all common stock holders. As long term committed
shareholders, members of the founding family, currently controlling an interest of about 65% in the aggregate, have each decided
to reinvest in full the second quarter cash dividend.
In a challenging market environment our main goal is to preserve liquidity and strengthen our balance sheet. Going forward,
the Board will continue reviewing our dividend policy based on market conditions and our liquidity requirements."

(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 ("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 available to common stockholders, 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 available to common stockholders to
EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA below.
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 and six-month
periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. 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, (iii) Adjusted Earnings
per share, (iv) EBITDA and (v) Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Net Income available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share represent net income after earnings
allocated to preferred stock, but before non-cash "Accrued charter revenue" recorded under charters with escalating charter
rates, realized loss / (gain) on Euro/USD forward contracts, unrealized loss from a swap option agreement held by a jointly owned
company with York, which is included in equity loss on investments, General and administrative expenses - non-cash component,
amortization of prepaid lease rentals 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 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 are reflected as
deductions to adjusted net income. Charges negatively impacting net income are reflected as increases to adjusted net income.

EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, amortization of prepaid lease rentals,
depreciation and amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before
interest and finance costs, interest income, amortization of prepaid lease rentals, depreciation, amortization of deferred
dry-docking and special survey costs, non-cash "Accrued charter revenue" recorded under charters with escalating charter rates,
realized loss / (gain) on Euro/USD forward contracts, unrealized loss from swap option agreement held by a jointly owned company

addition, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity position

Results of Operations
Three-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2015
During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, we had an average of 54.0 and 55.0 vessels, respectively, in our
fleet. In the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, our fleet ownership days totaled 4,914 and 5,005 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 3.0%, or $3.7 million, to $119.5 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, from
$123.2 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased average
number of vessels and the decreased revenue days of our fleet, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the
three-month period ended June 30, 2015.
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash "Accrued charter revenue"), decreased by 4.9%, or $6.1
million, to $117.9 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, from $124.0 million during the three-month period
ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased average number of vessels and the decreased revenue
days of our fleet, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2015.

commissions.
Voyage Expenses - related parties
Voyage expenses - related parties in the amount of $0.9 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015,
represent fees of 0.75% in the aggregate on voyage revenues charged by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. ("Costamare Shipping") and
by Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. ("Costamare Services") pursuant to the Framework Agreement between Costamare Shipping and us
dated November 2, 2015 (the "Framework Agreement"), the Services Agreement between Costamare Services and our vessel-owning
subsidiaries dated November 2, 2015 (the "Services Agreement") and the individual ship-management agreements pertaining to each

ended June 30, 2016 from $4.9 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was attributable
to the decreased average number of vessels during the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three-month period
ended June 30, 2015.
General and Administrative expenses - non-cash component
General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $1.4
million, representing the value of the shares issued to Costamare Services on June 30, 2016, pursuant to the Services Agreement.

representing the value of shares issued to Costamare Shipping on June 30, 2015, pursuant to the Group Management Agreement. The
decrease was attributable to the decrease in the fair value of the shares issued on June 30, 2016 compared to the shares issued
on June 30, 2015.

2016, from $19.3 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased
average loan balance during the three month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the three month period ended June 30,
2015.
Equity Gain / (Loss) on Investments
The equity loss on investments of $0.2 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, represents our share of
the net losses of nineteen jointly owned companies pursuant to the Framework Deed dated May 15, 2013, as amended and restated on
May 18, 2015 (the "Framework Deed"), between the Company and a wholly-owned subsidiary, on the one hand, and York Capital
Management Global Advisors LLC and an affiliated fund (collectively, together with the funds it manages or advises, "York") and
is mainly attributable to the pre-delivery expenses charged to nine vessels that are currently under construction. We hold a
range of 25% to 49% of the capital stock of these companies.
Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 18 interest rate derivative instruments which were outstanding as of June 30, 2016 equates to the
amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of these 18
interest rate derivative instruments in aggregate amounted to a liability of $54.2 million. The effective portion of the change
in the fair value of the interest rate derivative instruments that qualified for hedge accounting is recorded in "Other
Comprehensive Income" ("OCI") while the ineffective portion is recorded in the consolidated statements of income. The change in
the fair value of the interest rate derivative instruments that did not qualify for hedge accounting is recorded in the
consolidated statement of income. For the three-month period ended June 30, 2016, a net gain of $2.1 million has been included in
OCI and a net loss of $1.0 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

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 $2.6 million and increased
special survey costs of $2.8 million, partly offset by decreased payments for interest (including swap payments) during the

$244.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased average
number of vessels and decreased revenue days of our fleet during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the

Depreciation expense increased by 0.4%, or $0.2 million, to $50.6 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016,
from $50.4 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.
Amortization of Prepaid Lease Rentals
Amortization of the prepaid lease rentals was $2.5 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Foreign Exchange Gains/ (Losses)
Foreign exchange losses were $0.2 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. Foreign exchange gains were $0.2
million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to $0.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs decreased by 12.4%, or $5.2 million, to $36.7 million during the six-month period ended June 30,
2016, from $41.9 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased
average loan balance during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2015.
Equity Loss on Investments
The equity loss on investments of $0.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 represents our share of the net
losses of nineteen jointly owned companies pursuant to the Framework Deed and is mainly attributable to the pre-delivery expenses
charged to nine vessels that are currently under construction. We hold a range of 25% to 49% of the capital stock of these
companies.
Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 18 interest rate derivative instruments which were outstanding as of June 30, 2016 equates to the amount
that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of June 30, 2016, the fair value of these 18
interest rate derivative instruments in aggregate amounted to a liability of $54.2 million. The effective portion of the change
in the fair value of the interest rate derivative instruments that qualified for hedge accounting is recorded in OCI while the
ineffective portion is recorded in the consolidated statements of income. The change in the fair value of the interest rate
derivative instruments that did not qualify for hedge accounting is recorded in the consolidated statement of income. For the
six-month period ended June 30, 2016, a net loss of $3.0 million has been included in OCI and a net loss of $4.1 million has been
included in Gain / (Loss) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statement of income, resulting from the fair market value
change of the interest rate derivative instruments during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $0.4 million to $119.8 million for the six-month period ended
June 30, 2016, compared to $120.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to
decreased cash from operations of $7.7 million and increased special survey costs of $3.2 million, partly offset by decreased
payments for interest (including swap payments) of $3.8 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2016 compared to the
six-month period ended June 30, 2015.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

(i) $11.0 million (net of $2.7 million we received as dividend distributions) in advance payments for the construction of two
newbuild vessels, the acquisition of a secondhand vessel and working capital injection in certain entities pursuant to the
Framework Deed and (ii) $1.6 million in payments for upgrades to one of our vessels.
Net cash used in investing activities was $19.1 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2015, which mainly consisted of
$17.3 million in advance payments for the construction of three newbuild vessels, ordered pursuant to the Framework Deed.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $105.9 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2016, which mainly consisted
of (a) $92.6 million of indebtedness that we repaid, (b) $7.1 million we repaid relating to our sale and leaseback agreements,
(c) $39 million that we drew down from one of our credit facilities, (d) $43.8 million we paid for dividends to holders of our
common stock for the fourth quarter of 2015 and first quarter of 2016 and (e) $1.9 million we paid for dividends to holders of
our Series B Preferred Stock, $4.2 million we paid for dividends to holders of our Series C Preferred Stock and $4.4 million we
paid for dividends to holders of our Series D Preferred Stock, for each of the periods from October 15, 2015 to January 14, 2016
and January 15, 2016 to April 14, 2016.

(a) $98.7 million of indebtedness that we repaid, (b) $6.6 million we repaid relating to our sale and leaseback agreements, (c)
$42.7 million we paid for dividends to holders of our common stock for the fourth quarter of 2014 and first quarter of 2015, (d)
$1.9 million we paid for dividends to holders of our Series B Preferred Stock and $4.3 million we paid for dividends to holders
of our Series C Preferred Stock, in both cases for each of the periods from October 15, 2014 to January 14, 2015 and January 15,
2015 to April 14, 2015 and (e) $96.6 million net proceeds we received from our public offering in May 2015 of 4.0 million shares
of our Series D Preferred Stock, net of underwriting discounts and expenses incurred in the offering.
Change in the manner of presentation of certain items
Effective January 1, 2016, we changed the way we present in the statements of income the interest accrued and realized on
non-hedging derivative instruments and have reclassified such from the Interest and Finance costs line item to Gain / (Loss) on
derivative instruments, on the 2016 consolidated statements of income and their comparatives.
Liquidity and Capital Expenditures

As of June 30, 2016, we had a total cash liquidity of $152.6 million, consisting of cash, cash equivalents and restricted

1) Charter terms and expiration dates are based on the earliest date charters could expire. Amounts set out for current daily
charter rate are the amounts contained in the charter contracts.
2) This average rate is calculated based on contracted charter rates for the days remaining between July 27, 2016 and the
earliest expiration of each charter. Certain of our charter rates change until their earliest expiration dates, as indicated in
the footnotes below.
3) Based on latest shipyard production schedule, subject to change.
4) The amounts in the table reflect the current charter terms, giving effect to our agreement with Zim under the 2014
restructuring plan. Based on this agreement, we have been granted charter extensions and have been issued equity securities
representing 1.2% of Zim's equity and approximately $8.2 million in interest bearing notes maturing in 2023. In July the Company
exercised its option to extend the charters of Zim New York and Zim Shanghai for one year pursuant to its
option to extend the charter of two of the three vessels chartered to Zim for successive one year periods at market rate plus
$1,100 per day per vessel while the notes remain outstanding. The rate for the first year has been determined at $14,534 per day.
The Company exercised its option for a second year of extension.
5) This charter rate changes on August 1, 2016 to $5,350 per day until the earliest redelivery date.
6) This charter rate changes on September 8, 2016 to $6,300 per day until the earliest redelivery date.
7) This charter rate changes on October 25, 2016 to $6,300 per day until the earliest redelivery date.
8) As from December 1, 2012 until redelivery, the charter rate is to be a minimum of $13,500 per day plus 50% of the difference
between the market rate and the charter rate of $13,500. The market rate is to be determined annually based on the Hamburg ConTex
type 3500 TEU index published on October 1 of each year until redelivery.
9) This charter rate changes on August 27, 2016 to $6,800 per day until the earliest redelivery date.
10) This charter rate changes on August 2, 2016 to $6,800 per day until the earliest redelivery date.
11) The charter rate will be $8,000 per day provided that the vessel trades within the Red Sea once every 20 days, while it will
change to $7,400 for non-Red Sea trading. As of July 27, 2016, the vessel was earning $8,000 per day.
i) Assumes exercise of owner's unilateral options to extend the charter of these vessels for two one year periods at the same
charter rate. The charterer also has corresponding options to unilaterally extend the charter for the same periods at the same
charter rate.
ii) The charterer has a unilateral option to extend the charter of the vessel for a period of 12 months.
iii) The charterer has a unilateral option to extend the charter of the vessel for two periods of 30 months each +/-90 days on
the final period performed, at a rate of $41,700 per day.

$9,250 daily.
