Costamare Inc. Reports Results for the Third Quarter and Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2025
MONACO, Nov. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Costamare Inc. ("Costamare" or the "Company") (NYSE:CMRE) today reported unaudited financial results for the third quarter and nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.
Discontinued operations as a result of Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited Spin-Off
The financial results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, reflect the spin-off of Costamare's dry bulk business (consisting of Costamare's dry bulk owned fleet and its dry bulk operating platform, Costamare Bulkers Inc. ("CBI")) into a standalone public company, which was completed on May 6, 2025. Accordingly, the results of the dry bulk business are presented as discontinued operations for all periods shown.
For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the results of discontinued operations include the dry bulk business up to May 6, 2025, the effective date of the spin-off. In comparison, the three- and nine-month periods of 2024 include the results of discontinued operations of the dry bulk business for the entire periods, respectively. These differences in reporting periods should be taken into account when evaluating the results of discontinued operations between periods.

2 Please refer to the Containership Fleet List table for additional information on vessel employment details for our containership fleet.
3 Calculated on a TEU basis.
4 As of November 3, 2025. Includes the contracted revenue of the six vessels under construction.
5 Includes assets funded as of November 3, 2025 and contractual commitments as of November 3, 2025.
Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Financial Officer of Costamare Inc., commented:
"During the third quarter of the year, the Company generated Net Income of about $99 million.
After the spin-off of Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited, Costamare Inc. remains the sole shareholder of 69 containerships as well as the controlling shareholder of Neptune Maritime Leasing.
In September, following up from our previously announced order of four 3,100 TEU capacity containership newbuildings, we exercised our option for two more sister ships, to be delivered in Q1 2028. Upon delivery they will also commence an 8-year time charter with a first class liner company. Since last quarter, we have also fixed 8 vessels with a forward start for periods ranging from 12 to 38 months. These transactions resulted in increased contracted revenues of above $310 million.
Our fleet employment stands at 100% and 80% for 2025 and 2026, respectively. Total contracted revenues amount to $2.6 billion with a remaining time charter duration of 3.2 years.
Regarding the market, the positive outcome from the latest trade discussions between US and China and the delay in the implementation of port fees should positively contribute to global increased trade flows.
With idle fleet of less than 1% the charter market remains strong with rates fixed at healthy and stable levels on the back of vessel shortage and steady demand.
Finally, with regards to Neptune Maritime Leasing, the growing leasing platform, 50 shipping assets have been funded or are on a commitment status basis and total investments and commitments are exceeding $650 million."

(1) Accrued charter revenue represents the difference between cash received during the period and revenue recognized on a straight-line basis. In the early years of a charter with escalating charter rates, voyage revenue will exceed cash received during the period and during the last years of such charter cash received will exceed revenue recognized on a straight-line basis. The reverse is true for charters with descending rates.
(2) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis represents Voyage revenue after adjusting for non-cash "Accrued charter revenue" recorded under charters with escalating or descending charter rates. However, Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is not a recognized measurement under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is useful to investors because it presents the charter revenue for the relevant period based on the then current daily charter rates.
(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.

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, deemed dividend allocated to continuing operations of Series E 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 gain on Euro/USD forward contracts, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component, (gain)/loss on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments and other non-cash items. "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 continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as deductions to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders. Charges negatively impacting Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as increases to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders.
Results of Continuing Operations
Three-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024
Following the spin-off of the dry bulk business (consisting of Costamare's dry bulk owned fleet and Costamare Bulkers Inc. (CBI)) on May 6, 2025, the results of the dry bulk business are reported as discontinued operations for the relevant periods presented. The discussion below focuses on the results from continuing operations.
During the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had an average of 68.2 and 68.0 container vessels, respectively, in our owned fleet.
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, we acquired and accepted delivery of the secondhand container vessel Maersk Puelo with a capacity of 6,541 TEU.
As of September 30, 2025, we have invested in Neptune Maritime Leasing Limited ("NML") the amount of $182.2 million.
In the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our fleet ownership days totaled 6,278 and 6,256 days, respectively. Ownership days are one of the primary drivers of voyage revenue and vessels' operating expenses and represent the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet is owned.

Refer to "Consolidated Financial Results from Continuing operations and Vessels' Operational Data" above for the reconciliation of Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis.
(2) Vessels that are part of continuing operations.
Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue decreased by 1.6%, or $3.6 million, to $215.9 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, from $219.5 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease period over period is mainly attributable to (i) the lower accounting revenue recorded for two of our vessels that are classified as sale type leases, (ii) the net decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels and (iii) the increased idle and off-hire days of our fleet during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024; partly offset by (i) the contractual reimbursements from certain of our charterers for EU Emissions Allowances ("EUAs") and Fuel EU Maritime penalties and (ii) the 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) increased by 1.0%, or $2.1 million, to $219.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, from $217.0 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Income from investments in leaseback vessels
Income from investments in leaseback vessels was $9.3 million and $6.2 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 September 30, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024. NML acquires, owns and bareboat charters out vessels through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $14.4 million and $7.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Voyage expenses increased, period over period, mainly due to the recognition of liabilities for EUAs, Fuel EU Maritime penalties and an increase in relevant expenses. However, a significant portion of these liabilities 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.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties were $2.8 million and $3.0 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 two related charter brokerage companies for an amount of approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, in the aggregate, for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 $40.9 million and $39.8 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Daily vessels' operating expenses were $6,520 and $6,369 for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 $2.2 million and $5.0 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and include amounts of $0.67 million and $0.67 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 $7.2 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The amounts charged by our related party managers include amounts paid to third party managers of $1.4 million and $1.4 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses - non-cash component
General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $1.8 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on September 30, 2025. General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $2.4 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on September 30, 2024.
Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $5.0 million and $4.4 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, three vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special surveys. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, two vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special surveys.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $32.6 million and $31.9 million, respectively.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to $3.7 million and $8.3 million for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs were $21.6 million and $27.0 million during the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased interest expense due to a lower average loan balance along with reduced SOFR rates during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments, net
As of September 30, 2025, 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 September 30, 2025, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $8.7 million. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, the change in the fair value (fair value as of September 30, 2025 compared to the fair value as of June 30, 2025) of the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting resulted in a net loss of $3.6 million, which has been included in OCI. Furthermore, during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 the change in the fair value (fair value as of September 30, 2025 compared to the fair value as of June 30, 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 $1.2 million, which has been included in Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments, net.
Cash Flows from Continuing Operations
Three-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Following the spin-off of the dry bulk business on May 6, 2025, the results of the dry bulk business are reported as discontinued operations for the relevant periods presented. The discussion below focuses on the cash flows from continuing operations.

The decrease is mainly attributable to the unfavorable change in working capital position, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and the accrued charter revenue (representing the difference between cash received in that period and revenue recognized on a straight-line basis), the decreased net cash from operations during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 and the increased dry-docking and special survey costs during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024; partly offset by the decrease in interest payments (including interest derivatives net receipts) during the three-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Net Cash Provided by / (Used in) Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $44.5 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, which mainly consisted of (i) advance payments for the construction of four newbuild container vessels, (ii) the payment for the acquisition of the secondhand container vessel Maersk Puelo, (iii) payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels and (iv) payments for net investments into which NML entered; partly offset by proceeds we received from our short-term investments in US Treasury Bills.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $14.1 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, which mainly consisted of net receipts for net investments into which NML entered and payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $27.1 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2025, which mainly consisted of (i) $7.0 million of net payments relating to our debt financing agreements (including proceeds of $80.1 million we received from one debt financing agreement), (ii) $13.7 million we paid for dividends to holders of our common stock for the second quarter of 2025 and (iii) $0.9 million we paid for dividends to holders of our 7.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock"), $2.1 million we paid for dividends to holders of our 8.500% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series C Preferred Stock") and $2.2 million we paid for dividends to holders of our 8.75% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred Stock") for the period from April 15, 2025 to July 14, 2025.
Net cash used in financing activities was $237.6 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, which mainly consisted of (i) $104.4 million payments relating to our debt financing agreements and finance lease liability agreement, (ii) $116.0 million we paid, in aggregate, for the full redemption of our 8.875% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock ("Series E Preferred Stock"), (iii) $11.2 million we paid for dividends to holders of our common stock for the second quarter of 2024 and (iv) $0.9 million we paid for dividends to holders of our Series B Preferred Stock, $2.1 million we paid for dividends to holders of our Series C Preferred Stock and $2.2 million we paid for dividends to holders of our Series D Preferred Stock for the period from April 15, 2024 to July 14, 2024.
Results of Continuing Operations
Nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024
Following the spin-off of the dry bulk business (consisting of Costamare's dry bulk owned fleet and CBI) on May 6, 2025, the results of the dry bulk business are reported as discontinued operations for the relevant periods presented. The discussion below focuses on the results from continuing operations.
During the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we had an average of 68.1 and 68.0 container vessels, respectively, in our owned fleet.
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, we acquired and accepted delivery of the secondhand container vessel Maersk Puelo with a capacity of 6,541 TEU.
As of September 30, 2025, we have invested in NML the amount of $182.2 million.
In the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, our fleet ownership days totaled 18,586 and 18,632 days, respectively. Ownership days are one of the primary drivers of voyage revenue and vessels' operating expenses and represent the aggregate number of days in a period during which each vessel in our fleet is owned.

Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue decreased by 0.4%, or $2.8 million, to $644.0 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, from $646.8 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. The decrease period over period is mainly attributable to (i) the lower accounting revenue recorded for two of our vessels classified as sale type leases, (ii) the revenue not earned due to the absence of the leap year day in the current period (iii) the net decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels and (iv) the increased off-hire days of our fleet during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024; partly offset by (i) the contractual reimbursements from certain of our charterers for EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime penalties, (ii) the decreased idle days of our fleet during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 and (iii) the 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) increased by 0.2%, or $1.0 million, to $645.5 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, from $644.5 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Income from investments in leaseback vessels
Income from investments in leaseback vessels was $22.0 million and $17.7 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Income from investments in leaseback vessels increased, period over period, due to the increased volume of NML's operations during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024. NML acquires, owns and bareboat charters out vessels through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $37.8 million and $19.6 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Voyage expenses increased period over period, mainly due to the recognition of liabilities for EUAs, Fuel EU Maritime penalties and an increase in relevant expenses. However, a significant portion of these liabilities 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.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties were $8.6 million and $9.1 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 two related charter brokerage companies for an amount of approximately $1.0 million and $1.1 million, in the aggregate, for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 $120.1 million and $118.7 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Daily vessels' operating expenses were $6,462 and $6,373 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 $9.4 million and $12.0 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and include amounts of $2.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, that were paid to a related service provider.
Management Fees – related parties
Management fees charged by our related party managers were $21.5 million and $21.4 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The amounts charged by our related party managers include amounts paid to third party managers of $4.2 million and $4.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
General and Administrative Expenses - non-cash component
General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 amounted to $4.6 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 31, 2025, on June 30, 2025 and on September 30, 2025. General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 amounted to $6.5 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 29, 2024, on June 28, 2024 and on September 30, 2024.
Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $14.5 million and $12.7 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, eight vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special surveys. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, six vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special surveys.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $96.1 million and $94.9 million, respectively.
Interest Income
Interest income amounted to $15.5 million and $24.8 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs were $66.8 million and $82.1 million during the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased interest expense due to a lower average loan balance, along with reduced SOFR rates, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024.
Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments, net
As of September 30, 2025, 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 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 September 30, 2025, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $8.7 million. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025, the change in the fair value (fair value as of September 30, 2025 compared to the fair value as of December 31, 2024) of the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting resulted in a loss of $15.8 million, which has been included in OCI. Furthermore, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025 the change in the fair value (fair value as of September 30, 2025 compared to the fair value as of December 31, 2024) 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 gain of $12.5 million, which has been included in Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments, net.
