Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited reported solid first quarter 2026 results, reflecting its first full period of operations as a standalone dry bulk owner and operator. Total voyage revenue reached $111.5 million, driven by charter-out activity from both owned and chartered-in vessels.

The company generated Q1 2026 net income of $9.9 million, or $0.41 per share, and Adjusted Net Income of $12.4 million, or $0.51 per share, after excluding non-recurring and non-cash items. Operating cash flow was $18.9 million, while net cash from investing was boosted by vessel sales.

As of March 31, 2026, Costamare Bulkers reported liquidity of $353.3 million, including $258.5 million of cash and cash equivalents plus margin deposits and $84.7 million of undrawn credit. Management highlighted that cash exceeded debt by $127.2 million, leaving the balance sheet net cash positive.

Net cash from operating activities $18.9 million Three-month period ended March 31, 2026
Adjusted Net Income financial
"Q1 2026 Adjusted Net Income 2 of $12.4 million ($0.51 earnings per share)."
Adjusted net income is a company's reported profit after removing unusual, one-time, or non-operational items so the number reflects the business’s regular earning power. Investors use it like a cleaned-up scorecard — similar to judging a player’s season performance without a few fluke games — to compare companies or assess trends without being misled by rare gains or losses that won’t affect future cash flow.
forward freight agreements financial
"margin deposits of $10.1 million relating mainly to our forward freight agreements (“FFAs”) and bunker swaps."
Forward freight agreements (FFAs) are contracts that let buyers and sellers lock in the price of transporting goods by sea for future dates, similar to agreeing today on the fare for a future taxi ride. They matter to investors because they provide a way to hedge against or bet on changes in shipping costs, which can affect the profitability of shipping companies, commodity traders, and firms that rely on global transport, and they also signal market expectations about future shipping demand.
hunting license facility financial
"Liquidity includes Cash ... and $84.7 million of available undrawn funds from one hunting license facility as of March 31, 2026."
charter-in hire expenses financial
"Charter-in hire expenses were $46.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, relating to the chartering-in of third-party dry bulk vessels."
EU Emissions Allowances regulatory
"Total voyage revenue ... includes ... reimbursements ... for EU Emissions Allowances (“EUAs”) and Fuel EU Maritime penalties."
EU emissions allowances are tradable permits that allow a company to emit a specific amount of greenhouse gases, typically one tonne of carbon dioxide equivalent; they form the backbone of the European Union's cap-and-trade system. For investors, these allowances act like a market-priced commodity: their cost influences companies' operating expenses, profitability and valuation, and can create new trading opportunities or regulatory risks as carbon rules and prices change.

Costamare Bulkers had nominal operations during the corresponding period in 2025 and remained a wholly owned subsidiary of Costamare Inc. (“Costamare”), a New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) listed company, until May 6, 2025, when it became an independent publicly traded company listed on the NYSE through a spin-off from Costamare. Accordingly, no comparative figures are presented for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

2 Adjusted Net Income and respective per share figures are non-GAAP measures and should not be used in isolation or as substitutes for Costamare Bulkers financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). For the definition and reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please refer to Exhibit I.

Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Executive Officer of Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited, commented:

 

During the first quarter of the year Costamare Bulkers generated an adjusted net income of $12.4 million.

 

As of today, we have successfully transferred a majority of the Company’s legacy trading portfolio pursuant to our deal with Cargill, effectively de-risking our balance sheet. We expect that our trading platform will be free of the remaining legacy trades by year end.

 

As part of our fleet renewal program, we recently concluded the sale of one 2011-built Capesize vessel and the acquisition of one 2018-built Ultramax. At the same time we accepted delivery of one newbuilding Kamsarmax chartered in for a minimum period of 5 years. The vessel has been chartered out at a profitable rate for a minimum period of 11 months.

 

With total cash of about $270 million and debt of ca. $140 million, the Company is net cash positive, positioning us favorably to grow countercyclically in a low asset value environment.

 

Regarding the market, during the first four months of the year the market exhibited elevated volatility relative to historical averages, driven by increased activity and inefficiencies, while geopolitical instability contributed additional uncertainty.

 

Capesize earnings were supported by robust iron ore and bauxite volumes, coupled with limited fleet growth. Ton-mile demand was further reinforced by the expansion of West Africa–China trade flows across both commodities.

 

Alongside the firm Capesize market and broadly positive dry bulk sentiment, the Panamax index was further supported by a record soybean harvest in Brazil, as well as the U.S.–China agreement reached at the end of 2025, which drove long-haul soybean shipments during the first quarter.

 

Finally, the Supramax segment recorded a solid start to the year, as increased grain and minor bulk flows offset the negative impact of the Strait of Hormuz closure, which reduced Persian Gulf export volumes by approximately 50%.”

Financial Summary

 

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)  Three-month period ended March 31, 2026
    
Voyage revenue  $103,963 
Voyage revenue – related parties  $7,545 
Total voyage revenue  $111,508 
      
Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (1)  $111,508

(1) “Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis” represents Total voyage revenue adjusted for any non-cash revenue recognized during the period resulting from certain charter arrangements with escalating or descending rates. This measure is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that the presentation of Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is useful to investors because it reflects charter revenue for the relevant period based on the applicable contractual charter rates during such period. No such adjustment was required for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

 

(2) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share.

 

 

 

 

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 period. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, voyage revenue, net income, or other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures include (i) Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (reconciled above), (ii) Adjusted Net Income and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share.

Exhibit I

 

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

 

   Three-month period ended March 31, 2026
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)   
Net Income  $9,936 
Deferred charter-in expense   (456)
General and administrative expenses - non-cash component   936 
Non-recurring, non-cash write-off of loan deferred financing costs   166 
Non-recurring expenses for realignment of operating platform   5,071 
Gain on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain) / loss on derivative instruments (1)   (3,229)
Adjusted Net Income  $12,424 
Adjusted Earnings per Share  $0.51 
Weighted average number of shares   24,181,817 

 

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share represent Net Income before deferred charter-in expense, non-recurring, non-cash write-off of loan deferred financing costs, non-recurring expenses for realignment of operating platform, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component and gain on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments. However, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income 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 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 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share generally eliminates the effects of 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 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 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. Previously, the Company’s calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share included adjustments for any gain/loss incurred in connection with the sale of vessels and for any loss on vessels held for sale. As the Company’s fleet management activities may, subject to market and other conditions, periodically include the sale of dry bulk vessels, the Company no longer includes such adjustments in its calculation of these non-GAAP measures beginning with the results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. We believe this updated methodology provides a more meaningful view of the Company’s operating performance.

 

(1)Items to consider for comparability, when prior period figures are presented, 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.

Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Utilization(1)

 

   Three-month period ended March 31, 2026
Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Available Days   2,587 
Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Utilization   97.4%

 

(1) We calculate utilization of our owned dry bulk fleet (including vessels chartered-in by CBI) by dividing (i) the aggregate number of our on-hire days and ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days) in a period of our owned dry bulk fleet by (ii) the number of our available days (owned dry bulk fleet) during such period. We use the following definitions in our calculation of utilization of owned dry bulk fleet:

 

·On-hire days. We define on-hire days as the total days that a vessel was on-hire during a period.

 

·Ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days). We define ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days) during a period, as the total number of days that a vessel is not on-hire, but is conducting ordinary ship operations (other than dry dock ballast days) which includes repositioning from a discharging port to a loading port, sailing to a port for the conclusion of a prospective sale of a vessel or a change of the technical manager of a vessel.

 

·Available days. We define available days as the number of our ownership days of our owned dry bulk fleet during a period less the aggregate number of dry dock days and dry dock ballast days during such period. We use the following definitions in our calculation of available days (owned dry bulk fleet):

 

üDry dock days. We define dry dock days as the days during a period that a vessel underwent scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, scheduled dry-docking or special surveys.

 

üDry dock ballast days. We define dry dock ballast days as the total days during a period that a vessel spends sailing to and from a shipyard for scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, scheduled dry-docking or special surveys.

Other, net, amounted to $5.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, mainly related to certain non-recurring expenses in connection with the realignment of the operating platform.

 

Gain on Derivative Instruments, net

 

As of March 31, 2026, we hold derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. 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 March 31, 2026, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $2.7 million. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of, March 31, 2026 compared to fair value as of December 31, 2025) of the derivative instruments, including their realized components during the period, resulted in a net gain of $2.3 million, which has been included in Gain on Derivative Instruments, net.

Financial Summary

 

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)  Three-month period ended March 31, 2026
    
Voyage revenue  $103,963 
Voyage revenue – related parties  $7,545 
Total voyage revenue  $111,508 
      
Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (1)  $111,508

(1) “Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis” represents Total voyage revenue adjusted for any non-cash revenue recognized during the period resulting from certain charter arrangements with escalating or descending rates. This measure is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Management believes that the presentation of Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is useful to investors because it reflects charter revenue for the relevant period based on the applicable contractual charter rates during such period. No such adjustment was required for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

 

(2) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share.

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 period. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, voyage revenue, net income, or other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures include (i) Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (reconciled above), (ii) Adjusted Net Income and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share.

 

Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share

 

   Three-month period ended March 31, 2026
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data)   
Net Income  $9,936 
Deferred charter-in expense   (456)
General and administrative expenses - non-cash component   936 
Non-recurring, non-cash write-off of loan deferred financing costs   166 
Non-recurring expenses for realignment of operating platform   5,071 
Gain on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain) / loss on derivative instruments (1)   (3,229)
Adjusted Net Income  $12,424 
Adjusted Earnings per Share  $0.51 
Weighted average number of shares   24,181,817 

 

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share represent Net Income before deferred charter-in expense, non-recurring, non-cash write-off of loan deferred financing costs, non-recurring expenses for realignment of operating platform, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component and gain on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments. However, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income 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 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 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share generally eliminates the effects of 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 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 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. Previously, the Company’s calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share included adjustments for any gain/loss incurred in connection with the sale of vessels and for any loss on vessels held for sale. As the Company’s fleet management activities may, subject to market and other conditions, periodically include the sale of dry bulk vessels, the Company no longer includes such adjustments in its calculation of these non-GAAP measures beginning with the results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. We believe this updated methodology provides a more meaningful view of the Company’s operating performance.

 

(1)Items to consider for comparability, when prior period figures are presented, 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.

Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Utilization(1)

 

   Three-month period ended March 31, 2026
    
Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Available Days   2,587 
Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Utilization   97.4%

 

(1) We calculate utilization of our owned dry bulk fleet (including vessels chartered-in by CBI) by dividing (i) the aggregate number of our on-hire days and ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days) in a period of our owned dry bulk fleet by (ii) the number of our available days (owned dry bulk fleet) during such period. We use the following definitions in our calculation of utilization of owned dry bulk fleet:

 

·On-hire days. We define on-hire days as the total days that a vessel was on-hire during a period.

 

·Ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days). We define ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days) during a period, as the total number of days that a vessel is not on-hire, but is conducting ordinary ship operations (other than dry dock ballast days) which includes repositioning from a discharging port to a loading port, sailing to a port for the conclusion of a prospective sale of a vessel or a change of the technical manager of a vessel.

 

·Available days. We define available days as the number of our ownership days of our owned dry bulk fleet during a period less the aggregate number of dry dock days and dry dock ballast days during such period. We use the following definitions in our calculation of available days (owned dry bulk fleet):

 

üDry dock days. We define dry dock days as the days during a period that a vessel underwent scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, scheduled dry-docking or special surveys.

 

üDry dock ballast days. We define dry dock ballast days as the total days during a period that a vessel spends sailing to and from a shipyard for scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, scheduled dry-docking or special surveys.
