for the construction and purchase of two newbuild containerships, each
of approximately 9,000 TEU capacity. The two newbuildings are expected
to be delivered by the end of 2012. We have entered into time charter
agreements with MSC for the employment of each vessel immediately upon
delivery, for duration of ten years. Both the contract price and the
daily charter rate are similar to those agreed regarding the three
9,000 TEU vessels contracted with China Shipbuilding Trading Company
Limited and Shanghai Jiangnan Changxing Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. and
chartered to MSC for a period of 10 years. We expect to finance the
acquisition with cash on hand and a new credit facility, without using
any currently available credit lines.

capacity of 2,020 TEU per vessel, two of them built in 1991 and one of
them built in 1992, for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million.
All three secondhand vessels will be acquired using existing cash.
Concurrently agreed to sell the container vessels MSC Namibia, of 1,654
TEU capacity and built in 1977, MSC Sudan, of 1,630 TEU capacity and
built in 1976 and MSC Sierra, of 1,630 TEU capacity and built in 1977,
for an aggregate sale price of approximately $21.0 million. The three
acquired vessels are expected to be delivered before the end of March
2011 and will substitute the MSC Namibia, MSC Sudan and MSC Sierra in
their respective charter party agreements.
-- In November 2010 we took delivery of two 3,351 TEU containerships, the
Karmen and the Rena, that we agreed to purchase in September 2010. Both
containerships were acquired using existing cash.
-- In January 2011 we declared a dividend for the fourth quarter ended
December 31, 2010, of $0.25 per share which was paid on February 4,
2011 to stockholders of record at the close of trading of the Company's
common stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE") on January 28,
2011. This was the first cash dividend we have declared since our

========== ========== ========== ==========
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, amortization of deferred dry-docking & special survey costs, gain/(loss) on sale of vessels, non-cash changes in fair value of derivatives and non-cash changes in "Accrued charter revenue" deriving from escalating charter rates under which certain of our vessels operate; the "Accrued charter revenue" is attributed to the time difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or "GAAP." We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors because it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. We also believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance and liquidity position compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of 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 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 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.

However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of these financial information 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. See the Tables above for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three months and the year ended December 31, 2010. 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. Mr. Gregory Zikos, CFO of Costamare Inc., commented: During the last months we have been successfully implementing our fleet renewal and expansion strategy. We have finalized and signed new ship building contracts for a total of five 9,000 TEU ships, all of which have been chartered for a period of 10 years at accretive rates; these vessels are expected to contribute contracted revenues in excess of $ 760 million. At the same time we bought in total 10 second hand vessels at attractive prices, 3 of which are expected to substitute 14 to 15 years older vessels for a minimal incremental cost of $ 3 million per ship. The total value of our deals exceeds $ 570 million. As of October 2010, before going public, we had 41 ships in the water with a total capacity of 211,882 TEUs. Today, we have 45 ships in the water, with 6 more vessels expected to be delivered, and an order book of five 9,000 TEUs ships, totaling 275,728 TEUs. Regarding chartering, we are in a market that has been rising as we expected; although charterers want to fix for longer periods, for second hand vessels we are reluctant to commit to more than 6 months employment, and we are trying to postpone chartering to the last possible moment. We expect however to finalize our chartering arrangements over the next month. Looking into 2011 we will continue our focus on growing our fleet through attractive acquisitions that create real shareholder value. Our cash at hand of $ 208 million by year end, together with undrawn credit lines of $ 194 million and a total of 19 ships which as of today are free of debt, place us at a unique position to grow. Finally, in line with our dividend policy, we have declared and paid a dividend of $0.25 per share for the fourth quarter 2010. This was the first cash dividend the Company paid since our initial public offering on November 4, 2010. With a track record of uninterrupted profitability, and 35 years' experience in shipping, including 25 years in containers, we are confident about our short and long-term potential and we remain excited about the many opportunities that we believe lie ahead for our Company. Results of Operations Three-month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 During the three-month periods ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, we had an average of 42.0 and 44.4 vessels, respectively, in our fleet. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, we accepted delivery of the vessels Karmen and Rena with an aggregate TEU capacity of 6,702. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 we sold the vessel Liguria with TEU capacity of 956. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 our fleet operating days totaled 3,864 and 4,085 days, respectively. Operating 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 9.7%, or $9.2 million, to $85.7 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $94.9 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in operating days of our fleet during the period. The decrease in operating days was a result of a lower average number of vessels in our fleet during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the corresponding period in 2009. The decrease was also attributable to the time charter period extension for eight of our vessels for a four-year period commencing in 2014 at rates on average lower than the existing charter rates. Voyage Expenses Voyage expenses increased by 25.0%, or $0.1 million, to $0.5 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $0.4 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the off-hire expenses of the container vessels Karmen and Rena which were delivered to us by their sellers in November 2010. Upon her delivery the vessel Karmen underwent a dry-docking and commenced her time charter in late December 2010. Voyage Expenses - related parties Voyage expenses - related parties in the amount of $0.4 million represent management fees charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as provided under our management agreement. Voyage Expenses - related parties represent a 0.75% charge on our voyage revenues for the period from November 4, 2010 (Initial Public Offering completion) up to December 31, 2010. Vessels' Operating Expenses Vessels' operating expenses, which also include the realized gain (loss) under derivative contracts entered into related to foreign currency exposure, decreased by 1.9%, or $0.5 million, to $26.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $26.6 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. Vessels' operating expenses, excluding the effect of the realized gain (loss) under these derivative contracts, decreased by 8.2%, or $2.3 million, to $25.8 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $28.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was also partly attributable to the decreased fleet operating days during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. General and Administrative Expenses General and administrative expenses decreased by 60.0%, or $0.6 million, to $0.4 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $1.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 was mainly attributable to the decreased legal and advisory expenses charged to us compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. In the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, Shanghai Costamare Ship Management Co. Ltd. charged us the amount of $0.5 million for market analysis and research services. There was not such charge for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010. Management Fees - related parties Management fees paid to our managers increased by 6.9%, or $0.2 million, to $3.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $2.9 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The increase was attributable to the new daily management fee we paid to our managers subsequent to the completion of our Initial Public Offering on November 4, 2010, offset by the decrease in fleet operating days for the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. Amortization of Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased by 15.0% or $0.3 million, to $2.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $2.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The increase was mainly attributable to the amortization expense charged for four of our vessels that underwent their initial dry-docking in the year ended December 31, 2010, partially offset by the amortization expense not charged following the sale of the vessels MSC Germany, MSC Mexico and MSC Sicily during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 and the write-off of their unamortized dry-docking balance which was included in the sale result. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, three vessels and one vessel, respectively, underwent their special surveys. Depreciation Depreciation expense increased by 2.2%, or $0.4 million, to $18.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $17.9 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to the depreciation expense charged for the vessel MSC Navarino that was delivered to us by the shipyard in May 2010 and to the vessels Karmen and Rena that were delivered to us in November 2010. MSC Liguria, which was sold in the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 was fully depreciated as of the date it was sold. Charter agreement early termination fee The Charter agreement early termination fee of $9.5 million represents a one-time payment made to the charterer of MSC Navarino (renamed to Hyundai Navarino in January 2011) in December 2010, compensating the charterer MSC for the early termination of the charter party agreement of MSC Navarino. The vessel was redelivered to us by the charterer on January 28, 2011 and on January 30, 2011 she was delivered to charterers HMM for a daily charter rate of $44,000, compared to a daily charter rate of $22,000 under the MSC charter party agreement. Gain on Sale of Vessels In the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, we recorded a gain of $0.3 million from the sale of vessel MSC Liguria. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 no vessels were sold. Foreign Exchange Gains / (Losses) Foreign exchange losses were $0.3 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, compared to losses of $0.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, representing a change of $0.2 million resulting from unfavorable currency exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the Euro. Interest Income During the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 interest income increased by 50.0%, or $0.1 million, to $0.3 million, from $0.2 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. The change in interest income was mainly due to the increased average cash balance held by us during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. Interest and Finance Costs Interest and finance costs decreased by 12.7%, or $2.6 million, to $17.8 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $20.4 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009. Interest expense decreased to $5.0 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $8.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 due to decreased average loan balances outstanding. The costs relating to our interest rate swap agreements increased to $12.1 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, from $9.8 million during the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, due to the increased difference between market rates and fixed rates. Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments The fair value of our 11 derivative instruments which were outstanding as of December 31, 2010 equates to the amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of December 31, 2010, the fair value of these 11 interest rate swaps in aggregate amounted to a liability of $107.9 million. Ten of the 11 interest rate derivative instruments that were outstanding as at December 31, 2010, qualified for hedge accounting and the effective portion in the change of their fair value is recorded in "Other comprehensive loss" in stockholders' equity. For the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, a gain of $25.6 million has been included in "Other comprehensive loss" in stockholders' equity and a gain of $4.9 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 swaps during the three-month period ended December 31, 2010.

The decrease was primarily attributable to (a) increased payments for dry-dockings of $1.2 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, (b) a one-time payment of $9.5 million in December 2010 to the charterers of MSC Navarino for the early redelivery of the vessel; partly offset by the decreased payments for interest (including swap payments) of $3.1 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended December 31, 2009 Net Cash Used in Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $26.3 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, which consists of (a) $22.5 million in payments for the acquisition of two vessels and (b) $3.8 million advance payments for the acquisition of four vessels. Net cash used in investing activities was $22.7 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, which consists of (a) $1.8 million we received from the sale of one vessel and (b) $24.5 million in payments to the shipyard for the construction cost of MSC Navarino. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Financing Activities Net cash provided by financing activities was $116.2 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2010, which mainly consists of (a) $30.4 million of indebtedness that we repaid, (b) $148.8 million net proceeds we received from our Initial Public Offering in November 2010, net of underwriting commissions and (c) $1.6 million in payments for costs related to our Initial Public Offering. Net cash used in financing activities was $25.7 million in the three-month period ended December 31, 2009, which mainly consists of (a) $55.2 million of indebtedness that we repaid and (b) $30.0 million of proceeds drawn under our loan facility. Results of Operations Year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009 During the year ended December 31, 2010, we had an average of 42.4 vessels in our fleet, compared to an average of 47.3 vessels in our fleet during 2009. In 2010 we acquired the newbuild vessel MSC Navarino and the second-hand vessels Karmen and Rena with an aggregate TEU capacity of 15,233, and we sold four vessels with an aggregate TEU capacity of 10,766. In 2009, we acquired the vessels Gifted and Genius with an aggregate TEU capacity of 5,844, and we sold 10 vessels with an aggregate TEU capacity of 18,333. In 2010 our fleet operating days totaled 15,488 days. In 2009 our fleet operating days totaled 17,279 days. Operating 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 11.7%, or $46.7 million, to $353.2 million
during the year ended December 31, 2010, from $399.9 million during the
year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to
the decrease in operating days of our fleet during the year; resulting from
the lower average number of vessels in our fleet during the year ended
December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The
decrease was also attributable to the time charter period extension for
eight of our vessels for a four-year period commencing the earliest from
2014 at rates on average lower than the existing charter rates.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses decreased by 32.3%, or $1.0 million, to $2.1 million during
the year ended December 31, 2010 from $3.1 million during the year ended
December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease
in operating days of our fleet for the year ended December 31, 2010,
resulting from the lower average number of vessels in our fleet during the
year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.
The decrease was also attributable to decreased commissions charged by
third parties as well as to lower fuel consumption during off-hire days.
Voyage Expenses - related parties
Voyage expenses - related parties in the amount of $0.4 million represent
management fees charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. as
provided under our management agreement. Voyage Expenses - related parties
represent a 0.75% charge on our voyage revenues for the period from
November 4, 2010 (Initial Public Offering completion) up to December 31,
2010.
Vessels' Operating Expenses
Vessels' operating expenses, which also include the realized gain (loss)
under our forward transactions we entered into to hedge our Euro/USD
exposure, decreased by 10.3%, or $11.8 million, to $102.8 million during
the year ended December 31, 2010, from $114.6 million during the year ended
December 31, 2009. Vessels' operating expenses, excluding the effect of the
realized gain (loss) under our forward transactions, decreased by 15.5%, or
$18.5 million, to $101.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2010,
from $119.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease
was mainly attributable to the decreased fleet operating days during the
year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by 29.4%, or $0.5 million, to
$1.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, from $1.7 million
during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease in the year ended
December 31, 2010 was mainly attributable to the decrease in legal,
accounting and advisory fees charged to us. In the year ended December 31,
2009, Shanghai Costamare Ship Management Co. Ltd. charged us the amount of
$0.5 million for market analysis and research services. There was not such
charge for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Management Fees - related parties
Management fees paid to our managers decreased by 7.4%, or $0.9 million, to
$11.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, from $12.2 million
during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was attributable to
the decrease in operating days of our fleet for the year ended December 31,
2010, resulting from the lower average number of vessels in our fleet in
the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31,
2009; partly offset by the new daily management fee we pay to our managers
upon the completion of our Initial Public Offering on November 4, 2010.
Amortization of Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs increased by
6.3%, or $0.5 million, to $8.5 million during the year ended December 31,
2010, from $8.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. During the
year ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, six vessels and 12 vessels,
respectively, underwent their special survey. The increase is attributable
to the amortization expense charged for 12 vessels that were dry-docked
during the year ended December 31, 2010, partly offset by the amortization
expense not charged relating to the vessels sold during the year as their
unamortized dry-docking balance at the date they were sold, was written-off
and was included in the sale result.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense decreased by 0.3%, or $0.2 million, to $70.9 million
during the year ended December 31, 2010, from $71.1 million during the year
ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was attributable to the sale of 10
vessels and four vessels during the years ended December 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2010, respectively, partly offset by the depreciation expense
charged for two vessels and three vessels acquired during the years ended
December 31, 2009 and December 31, 2010, respectively. Seven out of 10
vessels and three out of four vessels sold in 2009 and 2010, respectively,
were fully depreciated as of the dates they were sold.
Gain on Sale of Vessels
In the year ended December 31, 2010, we recorded a gain of $9.6 million
from the sale of four vessels, while in the year ended December 31, 2009,
we recorded a net gain of $2.9 million from the sale of ten vessels.
Charter agreement early termination fee
The Charter agreement early termination fee of $9.5 million represents a
one-time payment made to the charterer of MSC Navarino (renamed to Hyundai
Navarino in January 2011) in December 2010, compensating the charterer MSC
for the early termination of the charter party agreement of MSC Navarino.
The vessel was redelivered to us by the charterer on January 28, 2011 and
on January 30, 2011 she was delivered to charterers HMM for a daily charter
rate of $44,000, compared to a daily charter rate of $22,000 under MSC
charter party agreement.
Foreign Exchange Gains / (Losses)
Foreign exchange losses were $0.3million during the year ended December 31,
2010, compared to losses of $0.5 million during the year ended December 31,
2009, representing a change of $0.2 million resulting from favorable
currency exchange movements between the U.S. dollar and the Euro.
Interest Income
In the year ended December 31, 2010 interest income decreased by 42.3%, or
$1.1 million, to $1.5 million, from $2.6 million during the year ended
December 31, 2009. The change in interest income was mainly due to the
decreased average cash balance held by us during the year ended December
31, 2010 compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs decreased by 17.2%, or $14.9 million, to $71.9
million during the year ended December 31, 2010, from $86.8 million during
the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to
lower average debt balance during the year ended December 31, 2010,
compared to year ended December 31, 2009. The interest expense decreased
to $19.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, from $47.5
million during the year ended December 31, 2009, due to decreased base
rates. The costs relating to our interest rate swap agreements increased to
$51.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2010, from $34.6 million
during the year ended December 31, 2009, due to the increased difference
between market rates and fixed rates.
Other
Other decreased to $0.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2010,
from $3.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the decreased income resulting from our vessels'
hull and machinery as well as guarantee claims recoveries.
Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 11 derivative instruments which were outstanding as
of December 31, 2010 equates to the amount that would be paid by us or to
us should those instruments be terminated. As of December 31, 2010, the
fair value of these 11 interest rate swaps in aggregate amounted to a
liability of $107.9 million. Ten of the 11 interest rate derivative
instruments that were outstanding as at December 31, 2010 qualified for
hedge accounting and the effective portion in the change of their fair
value is recorded in "Other comprehensive loss" in stockholders' equity.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, a loss of $21.9 million has been
included in "Other comprehensive loss" in stockholders' equity and a loss
of $4.9 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 swaps during the year ended
December 31, 2010.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 decreased $33.9 million to $128.0 million, compared to $161.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to (a) decreased cash from operations of $38.0 million resulting from the decreased average number of vessels in 2010 compared to 2009 and to the increased "Accrued charter revenue" which results from the time difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection, (b) unfavorable change in working capital position, excluding the current portion of long term debt and the accrued charter revenue, of $7.8 million, (c) increased payments for dry-dockings of $6.7 million and (d) a one-time payment of $9.5 million in December 2010 to the charterers of MSC Navarino for the early redelivery of the vessel, partly offset by reduced payments for interest (including swap payments) of $16.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2010, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities Net cash used in investing activities was $23.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2010, which consists of (a) $28.3 million in payments to the shipyard for the construction cost of MSC Navarino, (b) $22.5 million in payments for the acquisition of two vessels, (c) $3.8 million advance payments for the acquisition of four vessels, (d) $22.7 million we received from the sale of four vessels and (e) $8.0 million we received from the sale of government securities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $252.7 million in the year ended December 31, 2009, which mainly consists of (a) $30.0 million of proceeds drawn under our loan facility, (b) $124.4 million of indebtedness that we repaid and (c) $161.2 million in dividends we paid to our shareholders. Liquidity and Capital Expenditures Cash and cash equivalents As of December 31, 2010 Costamare had a total cash liquidity of $207.8 million, consisting of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments.
