Mr. Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos, CEO of Costamare Inc., commented:
We are very pleased to have commenced this new chapter in our company's history, and to have our shares trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
Costamare is not a quarterly project; we have 35 years of experience in shipping, including 25 years in containers. During this 25-year period we have worked with almost every major liner company, and to this day we do not have a dissatisfied client; rather the opposite.
We have a track record of uninterrupted profitability, even during the worst downturns, and over 200 successful vessel Sale and Purchase transactions.
Our focus has been and will be on building long-term relationships with our clients and enhancing our reputation for quality service.
We think that today is a very good time to grow; we have identified and we are currently discussing many attractive projects. This is why we decided to go public now and to accept a significant discount to our NAV.
We feel that we are in a very strong position versus the competition; we have the capital, we have the relationships, and we have the experience in order to take advantage of the opportunities we see today.
We avoided vessel acquisitions during the peak of the market and we have not used financial engineering or back-loaded our debt obligations; on the contrary, we have a strong balance sheet as we move forward.
Today we have 43 ships in the water, 2 billion in contracted revenues, 1.1 billion of net debt and 13 ships free of debt. Our cash available together with cash that can be raised on debt free assets is north of 400 million. This flexibility, together with significant cash from operations from the existing fleet means that we are able to grow the company and the dividend.
While we believe that the fundamentals in our market look very positive for the next 2 years, we intend to stay in line with our philosophy and track record, and avoid over-leveraging the company or back-loading our debt repayments.
We follow a managed portfolio approach on our charters that will ensure meeting all our debt obligations and dividend payments, without, at the same time, significantly limiting our upside.
While todays share price neither reflects the Companys NAV, nor its growth prospects, we strongly believe that we will be able to significantly create shareholder value and it is our job to make that happen. I would like to thank those who have joined us as shareholders for their confidence.

Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue decreased by 8.8%, or $8.6 million, to $88.6 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $97.2 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in operating days of our fleet during the period, resulting from the lower average number of vessels in our fleet during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses increased by 66.7%, or $0.2 million, to $0.5 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $0.3 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase was primarily attributable to purchase of bunkers of MSC Sicily upon its redelivery from its charterer to us partially, offset with decreased commissions charged by third parties.
Vessels Operating Expenses
Vessels operating expenses decreased by 6.0%, or $1.6 million, to $24.9 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $26.5 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased fleet operating days during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses decreased by 80.0%, or $0.4 million, to $0.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $0.5 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 is mainly attributable to the decreased legal and advisory expenses charged to us compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Management Fees
Management fees paid to our managers decreased by 10.0%, or $0.3 million, to $2.7 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $3.0 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in operating days of our fleet for the period ended September 30, 2010, resulting from the lower average number of vessels in our fleet in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Amortization of Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred drydocking and special survey costs expense was $2.0 million and $2.0 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, no vessels and three vessels, respectively, underwent their special survey. The amortization expense charged for two of our vessels that underwent their initial drydocking in the first half of 2010, was offset by the amortization expense not charged following the sale of the MSC Sicily and the write-off of its unamortized drydocking balance which was included in the sale result.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense increased by 5.8%, or $1.0 million, to $18.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $17.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase is primarily attributable to the depreciation expense charged for the vessel MSC Navarino that was delivered to us by the shipyard in May 2010. MSC Sicily, which was sold in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 was fully depreciated as of the date it was sold.
Gain on Sale of Vessels
In the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a gain of $1.7 million from the sale of one vessel, while in the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a net loss of $1.3 million from the sale of four vessels.
Foreign Exchange Gains / (Losses)
Foreign exchange gains were $0.1 million and $0.1 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009, respectively.
Interest Income
During the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 interest income decreased by 33.3%, or $0.3 million, to $0.6 million, from $0.9 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The change in interest income is mainly due to the decreased average cash balance held by us during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs increased by 13.1%, or $2.3 million, to $19.9 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $17.6 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. Interest expense decreased to $5.6 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $7.2 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 due to decreased base rates. The costs relating to our interest rate swap agreements increased to $13.6 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $10.3 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2009, due to the increased difference between market rates and fixed rates.
Gain (Loss) on Derivative Instruments
The fair value of our eleven derivative instruments which were outstanding as of September 30, 2010 equates to the amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of these eleven interest rate swaps in aggregate amounted to a liability of $138.4 million. Ten of the eleven interest rate derivative instruments that were outstanding as at September 30, 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 September 30, 2010, a loss of $15.8 million has been recorded in Other comprehensive loss in stockholders equity and a loss of $4.2 million has been recorded in Gain (loss) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statement of income.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 decreased by $2.5 million to $32.9 million, compared to $35.4 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to (a) increased payments for drydockings of $2.1 million, (b) unfavorable change in working capital position, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and the accrued charter revenue, of $7.3 million and (c) increased payments for interest (including swap payments) of $0.9 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2009; partly offset by increased cash from operations of $4.9 million resulting from the decreased Accrued charter revenue which results from the time difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities was $11.7 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2010, which consists of (a) $8.0 million we received from the sale of government securities and (b) $3.7 million we received from the sale of one vessel.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to $44.8 million in the three-month period ended September 30, 2009 and mainly consists of (a) $19.4 million of indebtedness that we repaid and (b) $27.2 million in dividends we paid to our shareholders.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, we had an average of 48.3 vessels in our fleet. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, we acquired the vessel MSC Navarino with a TEU capacity of 8,531, and we sold four vessels with an aggregate TEU capacity of 10,766. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, we acquired the vessels Genius and Gifted with an aggregate TEU capacity of 5,844 and we sold nine vessels with an aggregate TEU capacity of 17,377.

Voyage Revenue
Voyage revenue decreased by 12.3%, or $37.5 million, to $267.5 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $305.0 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in operating days of our fleet during the period, resulting from the lower average number of vessels in our fleet during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Voyage Expenses
Voyage expenses decreased by 40.7%, or $1.1 million, to $1.6 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 from $2.7 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in operating days of our fleet for the period ended September 30, 2010, resulting from the lower average number of vessels in our fleet during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is also attributable to decreased commissions charged by third parties as well as to lower port charges and fuel consumption due to decreased off-hire days.
Vessels Operating Expenses
Vessels operating expenses decreased by 12.7%, or $11.2 million, to $76.7 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $87.9 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decreased fleet operating days during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased by 14.3%, or $0.1 million, to $0.8 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $0.7 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The increase in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 is mainly attributable to the increase in legal, accounting and advisory fees charged to us.
Management Fees
Management fees paid to our managers decreased by 12.8%, or $1.2 million, to $8.2 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $9.4 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease was attributable to the decrease in operating days of our fleet for the period ended September 30, 2010, resulting from the lower average number of vessels in our fleet in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Amortization of Dry-docking and Special Survey Costs
Amortization of deferred drydocking and special survey costs expense increased by 1.7%, or $0.1 million, to $6.1 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $6.0 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. During the nine-months period ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, five vessels and nine vessels, respectively, underwent their special survey. The increase is attributable to the amortization expense charged for the nine of our vessels that were drydocked during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, partly offset by the amortization expense that was not charged relating to the vessels that were sold during the period and their unamortized drydocking balance was written-off and was included in the sale result.
Depreciation
Depreciation expense decreased by 1.1%, or $0.6 million, to $52.6 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $53.2 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is attributable to the sale of four vessels during the period ended September 30, 2010, partly offset by the depreciation expense charged for the vessel MSC Navarino that was delivered to us by the shipyard in May 2010. Three of the four vessels sold in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 were fully depreciated as of the dates they were sold.

In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, we recorded a gain of $9.6 million from the sale of four vessels, while in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a gain of $2.5 million from the sale of nine vessels.
Foreign Exchange Gains / (Losses)
Foreign exchange losses were $nil during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to losses of $0.5 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, representing a change of $0.5 million resulting from favorable currency translation between the U.S. dollar and the Euro.
Interest Income
During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 interest income decreased by 56.0%, or $1.4 million, to $1.1 million, from $2.5 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The change in interest income is mainly due to the decreased average cash balance held by us during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.
Interest and Finance Costs
Interest and finance costs decreased by 18.5%, or $12.3 million, to $54.1 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $66.4 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is mainly attributable to lower average debt balance during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The interest expense decreased to $14.5 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $39.4 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, due to decreased base rates. The costs relating to our interest rate swap agreements increased to $39.7 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $24.8 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009, due to the increased difference between market rates and fixed rates.
Other
Other decreased to $0.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, from $4.3 million during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009. The decrease is 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 eleven derivative instruments which were outstanding as of September 30, 2010 equates to the amount that would be paid by us or to us should those instruments be terminated. As of September 30, 2010, the fair value of these eleven interest rate swaps in aggregate amounted to a liability of $138.4 million. Ten of the eleven interest rate derivative instruments that were outstanding as at September 30, 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 nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, a loss of $47.5 million has been recorded in Other comprehensive loss in stockholders equity and a loss of $9.8 million has been recorded in Gain (loss) on derivative instruments in the consolidated statement of income.

The decrease was primarily attributable to (a) decreased cash from operations of $40.2 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 $7.9 million and (c) increased payments for drydockings of $5.5 million, partly offset by reduced payments for interest (including swap payments) of $13.8 million in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010, compared to the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009.

* The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of these financial 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 Table above for supplemental financial data and corresponding reconciliations to GAAP financial measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Companys reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA | $ | 196,184 | $ | 165,826 | $ | 57,323 | $ | 64,199 |
Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, amortization of deferred drydocking & 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.
The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial measures used in managing the business may provide users of these financial 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Companys reported results prepared in accordance with GAAP.
