Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue decreased by 0.5%, or $0.6 million, to $120.3 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, from $120.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased average number of vessels and revenue days of our fleet, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, partly offset by revenue earned due to increased calendar days by one day during the first quarter of 2016 (91 calendar days) compared to the first quarter of 2015 (90 calendar days).
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash "Accrued charter revenue"), decreased by 1.4%, or $1.7 million, to $119.8 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, from $121.5 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased average number of vessels and revenue days of our fleet, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, partly offset by revenue earned due to increased calendar days by one day during the first quarter of 2016 (91 calendar days) compared to the first quarter of 2015 (90 calendar days).
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses were $0.6 million, during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses of our vessels, mainly related to fuel consumption and (ii) third party commissions.
Voyage Expenses – related parties
Voyage expenses – related parties in the amount of $0.9 million during the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, represent fees of 0.75% on voyage revenues charged to us by Costamare Shipping Company S.A. ("Costamare Shipping") and Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. ("Costamare Services"), as provided under the Framework Agreement and Services Agreement, 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, decreased by 8.8%, or $2.6 million, to $27.0 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, from $29.6 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015.

General and Administrative expenses – non-cash component
General and administrative expenses – non-cash component for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 amounted to $1.3 million, representing the value of the shares issued to Costamare Services on March 31, 2016, pursuant to the Services Agreement effected on November 2, 2015. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, the non-cash component of general and administrative expenses was $2.6 million, representing the value of shares issued to Costamare Shipping pursuant to the amended and restated group management agreement, which was effective from January 1, 2015 until November 2, 2015.
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 March 31, 2016 and $1.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 one vessel completed its respective works and two were in process. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2015 two vessels underwent and completed their special surveys.
Depreciation

The increase was mainly attributable to the increased calendar days by one day during the first quarter of 2016 (91 calendar days) compared to the first quarter of 2015 (90 calendar days).
Foreign Exchange Gains/ (Losses)
Foreign exchange losses were $0.1 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016. Foreign exchange gains were $0.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015.

Interest and finance costs decreased by 32.3%, or $9.0 million, to $18.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, from $27.9 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2015. The decrease was partly attributable to the decreased loan interest expense (including interest charged in relation with our interest rate swap arrangements) charged to the consolidated statement of income resulting from the decrease in the outstanding loan amount.
Equity Loss on Investments
The equity loss on investments of $0.2 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, represents our share of the net losses of nineteen 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.
Gain / (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our 18 interest rate derivative instruments which were outstanding as of March 31, 2016 equates to the amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of these 18 interest rate derivative instruments in aggregate amounted to a liability of $54.7 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 March 31, 2016, a net loss of $5.1 million has been included in OCI and a net loss of $3.1 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 three-month period ended March 31, 2016.

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 April 20, 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) |
This charter rate changes on April 28, 2016 to $26,100 per day until the earliest redelivery date. |
| (5) |

| (6) |
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. |
| (7) |
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. |
| (8) |
This charter rate changes on August 27, 2016 to $6,800 per day until the earliest redelivery date. |
| (9) |
This charter rate changes on August 2, 2016 to $6,800 per day until the earliest redelivery date. |
| (10) |
This charter rate changes on July 1, 2016 to $6,800 per day until the earliest redelivery date. |
| (11) |
This charter rate changes on April 26, 2016 to $7,250 per day until the earliest redelivery date. |
| (12) |
This charter rate changes on June 1, 2016 to $6,200 per day until the earliest redelivery date. |
| (13) |
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 April 20, 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. |
| (iv) |
We have entered into a five year charter agreement with Maersk upon the expiry of the current charter agreement, at a rate of $9,250 daily. |

(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 periods ended March 31, 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 with York, which is included in equity loss on investments, General and administrative expenses – non-cash component 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. 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.
