Costamare Bulkers (NYSE: CMDB) Q1 2026 results and spin-off context
Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited reports unaudited results for the three months ended March 31, 2026, alongside predecessor carve-out financials for earlier periods. The company generated voyage revenues of $111.5 million in 2026 and earned net income of $9.9 million, reflecting its first full quarters after the dry bulk spin-off from Costamare Inc.
As of March 31, 2026, total assets were $902.9 million, including $255.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and a dry bulk fleet of 29 owned vessels. Long-term debt stood at $143.0 million before deferred financing costs, while stockholders’ equity was $676.5 million. The company also has time-charter revenue backlog and capital commitments tied to vessel acquisitions, and notes that Middle East geopolitical tensions had not materially affected operations as of the reporting date.

Insights
Costamare Bulkers shows profitable early post–spin-off operations with moderate leverage.
The 2026 quarter shows a functioning post-spin structure: voyage revenues of $111.5M and net income of $9.9M. Cash and cash equivalents of $255.1M against long-term debt of $143.0M (before costs) indicate a solid liquidity buffer.
Results blend owned-vessel income with charter-in activity, plus gains on vessel sales and derivatives. Operating lease liabilities of $20.6M and active FFA, bunker and currency derivatives add complexity and exposure to freight and fuel markets. Future performance will depend on freight rates, execution of charter-in commitments, and dry bulk market conditions.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2025 and 2026
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)
1. Basis of Presentation and General Information:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited (“Costamare Bulkers”), a company organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on September 29, 2023, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”).
Costamare Inc. (“Costamare”), a publicly listed company on the New York Stock Exchange, subscribed on July 11, 2024 for and was issued 10,000 shares of the capital stock of Costamare Bulkers at a par value of $0.0001 per share, making Costamare the sole shareholder of the Company. On July 15, 2024, Costamare Bulkers subscribed for and was issued one share of the capital stock of Costamare Bulkers Ships Inc. (“CBSI”), a company organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, at a par value of $1 per share, making Costamare Bulkers the sole shareholder of CBSI.
On April 17, 2025, the Board of Directors of Costamare approved the spin-off of its dry bulk business into a standalone company, Costamare Bulkers, by way of a pro rata distribution of Costamare Bulkers shares to Costamare shareholders (the “Spin-Off”). In connection with the Spin-Off, Costamare undertook a series of transactions and entered into various agreements effecting the separation of its dry bulk business as provided in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which governs the relationship between the Company and Costamare and allocates between the two companies various assets, liabilities and obligations. Costamare Bulkers had previously acquired the shares of 67 wholly-owned subsidiaries from Costamare. Among these, 38 subsidiaries owned dry bulk vessels, 17 had previously owned and sold or had entered into agreements to sell their dry bulk vessels, and 12 were designated for future dry bulk vessel acquisitions. Following the acquisition, Costamare Bulkers contributed all 67 subsidiaries to its wholly-owned subsidiary, CBSI. In connection with the Spin-off and in accordance with the Separation and Distribution Agreement, Costamare also contributed $100,000 in cash to Costamare Bulkers, prepaid $150,225 in bank loans associated with the Costamare Bulkers business, and settled or extinguished all intercompany balances between Costamare and the Company.
On May 6, 2025, Costamare completed the Spin-Off of Costamare Bulkers and distributed to Costamare shareholders of record on April 29, 2025, on a pro rata basis, one common share of Costamare Bulkers for every five Costamare common shares (24,022,218 Costamare Bulkers shares were distributed to the Costamare shareholders). On the same day, Costamare Bulkers acquired the shares of Costamare Bulkers Inc. (“CBI”) from Costamare and a minority shareholder. CBI, a dry bulk operating platform, charters-in and charters-out dry bulk vessels, enters into contracts of affreightment and forward freight agreements (“FFAs”) and may also utilize hedging solutions. The shares of Costamare Bulkers began “regular way” trading on the New York Stock Exchange on May 7, 2025. The Spin-Off was considered as a nonreciprocal transfer from Costamare to Costamare Bulkers and was accounted for at the carrying amounts of the net assets of the businesses transferred.
On September 26, 2025, the Company signed a Strategic Cooperation Agreement (the “Cooperation Agreement”) with Cargill International S.A. (“Cargill”). Pursuant to the Cooperation Agreement, the Company agreed to transfer to Cargill the majority of its operating platform trading book, including a majority of the third-party vessels chartered-in by CBI, cargo transportation commitments and derivative positions, held at the time the Cooperation Agreement was executed. The above-mentioned transfers were subject to the agreement of third parties, such as (among others) vessel owners from which CBI had chartered-in vessels, cargo owners with respect to cargo transportation commitments CBI had assumed and clearing members or exchanges through which derivatives positions had been traded. Cargill also agreed to charter-in four additional Supramax vessels from the Costamare Bulkers’ owned fleet on a time charter basis for a period of four to six months. As of March 31, 2026, only one of the chartered-in vessels included in the Cooperation Agreement remained to be transferred to Cargill via novation agreement (Note 17) and the transfer of FFA positions along with cargo transportation commitments had also been completed.
As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate issued share capital of the Company was 24,422,509 common shares, of which 24,240,981 common shares were outstanding. Members of the Konstantakopoulos Family owned, directly or indirectly, approximately 65.8% of the outstanding common shares, in the aggregate as of that date. The Company owned a fleet of 29 dry bulk vessels with a total carrying capacity of approximately 2,605,097 of dead-weight tonnage (“DWT”), through wholly-owned subsidiaries, as of March 31, 2026. In addition, as of March 31, 2026, Costamare Bulkers had 67 wholly-owned subsidiaries incorporated in the Republic of Liberia and two incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Revenues for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, derived from significant charterers individually accounting for 10% or more of revenues (in percentages of total revenues) were as follows:
| 2026 | ||||
| A | 12 | % | ||
| B | 10 | % | ||
| Total | 22 | % | ||
The reconciliation of the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash at the end of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2025 and 2026 is presented in the table below:
| 2025 | 2026 | |||||||
| Reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | ||||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 174 | $ | 255,105 | ||||
| Restricted cash – current portion | 1,950 | - | ||||||
| Restricted cash – non-current portion | - | 3,350 | ||||||
| Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $ | 2,124 | $ | 258,455 | ||||
The Company reports financial information and evaluates its operations and operating results by total charter revenues and profitability and not by the type of vessel, length of vessel employment, customer, type of charter or whether the vessel is owned or chartered-in. As a result, the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer, who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assesses the Company’s performance based on consolidated net income, and thus, the Company has determined that it operates under one reportable segment, that of operating dry bulk vessels. The CODM manages the business on a consolidated basis and uses the net (loss)/income as reported on the consolidated statements of income to allocate resources, make operating decisions and assess performance. The significant expense categories of our sole reportable segment are the voyage expenses, vessels’ operating expenses and charter-in hire expenses as reported on the consolidated statements of income. Also, when the Company charters a vessel, the charterer is generally free to trade such vessel worldwide or within broad geographical limits and, therefore, the disclosure of geographical information is impracticable and the CODM does not assess performance by geographical areas.
U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and Iran’s subsequent regional retaliation in early 2026 sharply destabilized the Middle East, creating the potential for significant disruptions across the shipping industry. As of the date of this report, the Company’s operations have not been materially affected by the conflict. The Company will continue to monitor and evaluate any potential direct or indirect negative effects of this situation on operations and the dry bulk markets and will provide further updates, including any changes to future estimates and assumptions, as warranted.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026.
These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and the recent accounting pronouncements can be found in Note 2 of the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes to these policies in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.
3. Transactions with related parties
(a) Costamare Shipping Company S.A. (“Costamare Shipping”) and Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. (“Costamare Services”): Costamare Shipping is a ship management company controlled by Mr. Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos, a major shareholder of the Company. Costamare Shipping provides the Company with commercial, technical and other management services pursuant to a Framework Agreement dated May 6, 2025 (the “Framework Agreement”), and separate ship management agreements with the relevant vessel owning subsidiaries. Costamare Services, a company controlled by Mr. Konstantakopoulos and a member of his family, provides, pursuant to a Services Agreement dated May 6, 2025 (the “Services Agreement”), the Company’s vessel-owning subsidiaries with chartering, sale and purchase, insurance and certain representation and administrative services. Costamare Shipping and Costamare Services are not part of the consolidated group of the Company.
Pursuant to the Framework Agreement and the Services Agreement, Costamare Shipping and Costamare Services receive (i) for each vessel, a daily fee of $1.020 and $0.510 for any vessel subject to a bareboat charter, prorated for the calendar days the Company owned each vessel and for the three-month period following the date of the sale of a vessel, (ii) a flat fee of $840 for the supervision of the construction of any newbuild vessel contracted by the Company, (iii) a fee of 1.25% on all gross freight, demurrage, charter hire, ballast bonus or other income earned with respect to each vessel in the Company’s fleet and (iv) a quarterly fee of $667 plus the value of 60,509 shares which Costamare Services may elect to receive in kind. Fees under (i) and (ii) and the quarterly fee under (iv) are annually adjusted upwards to reflect any strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar and/or material unforeseen cost increases.
The Company may terminate the Framework Agreement and the Services Agreement, subject to a termination fee, by providing written notice to Costamare Shipping or Costamare Services, as applicable, at least 12 months before the end of the subsequent one-year term.

Under the laws of the countries of incorporation of the vessel-owning companies and/or of the countries of registration of the vessels, the companies are not subject to tax on international shipping income; however, they are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which are included in Vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. The Company believes that CBI, which is engaged in the dry bulk operating platform business is not subject to tax on its income in its country of incorporation.
The subsidiaries of the Company with vessels that have called on the United States during the relevant year of operation are obliged to file tax returns with the Internal Revenue Service. The applicable tax is 50% of 4% of U.S.-related gross transportation income unless an exemption applies. Management believes that, based on current legislation, the relevant companies are entitled to an exemption under Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Subsidiaries of the Company may also be subject to tax in certain jurisdictions with respect to the relevant shipping income from vessels that trade to such jurisdictions unless an exception applies under the relevant Double Taxation Agreement.
16. Derivatives:
(a) Bunker swap agreements: As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, the Company had a series of bunker swap agreements, none of which qualify for hedge accounting. Following ASC 815 provisions and on the basis that enforceable master netting arrangement exists, the Company adopted net presentation for the assets and liabilities of these instruments. The fair value of these derivatives outstanding as of December 31, 2025, and March 31, 2026, amounted to a liability of $800 and an asset of $3,645, respectively.
(b) EUA futures: As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, the Company had a series of EUA futures, none of which qualify for hedge accounting. Following ASC 815 provisions and on the basis that enforceable master netting arrangement exists, the Company adopted net presentation for the assets and liabilities of these instruments. The fair value of these derivatives outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, amounted to an asset of $291 and $150, respectively.
(c) Forward Freight Agreements (“FFAs”) and FFA put options: As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, the Company had a series of FFAs, none of which qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value of these derivatives outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026 amounted to a net liability of $316 and $1,500, respectively. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had a series of FFAs put options, none of which qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value of these derivatives outstanding as of March 31, 2026 amounted to a net asset of $261. Following ASC 815 provisions and on the basis that an enforceable master netting arrangement exists, the Company adopted net presentation for the assets and liabilities of these instruments. As of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, the Company has deposited cash collateral related to its FFA derivative instruments, bunker swaps and EUA futures of $10,825 (out of which $8,654 were available to be drawn by the Company) and $10,148 (out of which $9,707 were available to be drawn by the Company), respectively, which is recorded within Margin deposits in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

18. Financial Instruments:
(a) Interest rate risk: The Company’s interest rates and loan repayment terms are described in Note 7.
(b) Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, margin deposits, accounts receivable, net (included in current and non-current assets), derivative contracts (foreign currency options, FFAs, FFA put options, bunkers swap agreements and EUA futures), seller’s credit in relation to the sale of four vessels (Note 5) and due from related parties. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments; however, the Company seeks to limit its exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings and/or clearing certain of its derivative contracts via established clearing houses. The Company also limits its accounts receivable credit risk by performing ongoing assessment of its customers’ financial condition. The Company receives charter hires in advance and thus, generally, does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. Furthermore, and with respect to the seller’s credit provided, the Company has entered into an intercreditor agreement with the new financiers of the four vessels upon their sale, to protect its rights (Note 3(d)).
(c) Fair value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, margin deposits, accounts payable and due from/ to related parties, approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximates the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of the FFAs, FFAs put options, the bunker swap agreements, EUA futures and foreign currency options discussed in Note 16 are determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are derived principally from publicly available market data.
The fair value of the FFAs, FFAs put options, the EUA futures, bunker swap agreements and foreign currency options discussed in Note 16 determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2025 and March 31, 2026, amounted to a net liability of $557 and a net asset of $2,673, respectively.
The following tables summarize the hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of assets and liabilities by valuation technique on a recurring basis as of the valuation date:

(“CBSI”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Costamare, organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands in July 2024 (the “Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Business”) and (ii) Costamare Bulkers Inc. (“CBI”), a majority-owned subsidiary of Costamare organized in the Republic of the Marshall Islands in June 2021 operating as a dry bulk operating platform. Entities under the Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Business and CBI are hereinafter referred to as the “Company” in these unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements, as illustrated in Table 1 below.
As of December 31, 2024, the Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Business had a fleet of 38 dry bulk vessels with a total carrying capacity of approximately 3,016,855 dead-weight-tonnage (“DWT”). The entities under the Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Business provide worldwide marine transportation services by chartering their dry bulk vessels to a diverse group of charterers.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, Costamare established a dry bulk operating platform under CBI. CBI charters-in and charters-out dry bulk vessels, enters into contracts of affreightment and forward freight agreements (“FFAs”) and also utilizes hedging solutions. As of December 31, 2024, CBI chartered-in 50 third-party dry bulk vessels on period time charters (including one dry bulk vessel on a time charter trip).
On July 11, 2024 Costamare subscribed for and was issued 10,000 shares of the capital stock of Costamare Bulkers, at a price of $0.0001 per share, making Costamare the sole shareholder of Costamare Bulkers. On May 6, 2025, the Spin-Off was completed, and Costamare Bulkers was separated from Costamare and its shares were distributed pro rata, one common share of Costamare Bulkers for every five Costamare common shares held by the shareholders of record of Costamare on April 29, 2025. On the same day, Costamare Bulkers acquired the shares of CBI from Costamare and a minority shareholder of Costamare. Following the completion of the Spin-off, Costamare Bulkers became a publicly listed company, and its shares began “regular way” trading separately from Costamare shares on the New York Stock Exchange on May 7, 2025. The purpose of these financial statements is to present the results of operations of the Company through May 6, 2025, the date on which the Spin-Off was completed following which the Company commenced operations as part of the publicly listed company, Costamare Bulkers.
The management of the Company believes the assumptions underlying the unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements, including the assumptions regarding the allocation of general corporate expenses from Costamare, are reasonable. Nevertheless, the Company’s unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred had the Company operated as a standalone company during the periods presented and may not reflect the Company’s unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out results of operations, financial position and cash flows had the Company operated as a standalone company during the periods presented. Actual costs that would have been incurred if the Company had operated as a standalone company would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and strategic decisions made in various areas, including information technology and infrastructure.
The unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) on a “carve-out” basis from the accounting records of Costamare using the historical carrying costs of the entities included in these unaudited interim predecessor carve-out financial statements for the periods presented, including allocation of expenses from Costamare. The management of the Company believes the allocations have been determined on a basis that is a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to, or the benefit received by, the Company during the period presented. The actual basis of allocation is described below.

Notes to Unaudited Interim Combined Carve-out Financial Statements
For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025
(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share and per share data, unless otherwise stated)
These unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements include the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows directly attributable to the Company, plus the following item which has been allocated as set forth below:
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses, consisting mainly of legal fees, audit fees and other various General and administrative expenses, were allocated to the Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Business based on the vessels’ owning days of the owning entities and to CBI based on the charter-in days of the chartered-in third-party vessels. Management believes that these allocations reasonably present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, total expenses allocated by Costamare amounted to $713 and $1,457, respectively.
All transactions and balances between the Company and Costamare, which were not historically settled in cash, were considered to be effectively settled in cash in the unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements at the time the transaction was recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions between the Company and Costamare was reflected in the unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statement of financial position and the unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statement of changes in equity as “Net parent investment”, which includes the expenses incurred by Costamare on behalf of the Company.
The Company, as represented by the entities in the unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements, operated as distinct business units. Each unit had its own profit and loss responsibility, with its respective Board of Directors acting in the capacity of the Chief Operating Decision Maker.
The Company does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter or vessel type, including both owned and chartered-in vessels. As a result, management reviews the operating results of the entire fleet as a whole. Therefore, it has been determined that the Company operates under a single reportable segment.
For the unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company has evaluated the effects of subsequent events through June 2, 2026, the date these unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements were available to be issued. Please refer to Note 16 for additional information.

The Company evaluates whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern by applying the provisions of ASC 205-40. In more detail, the Company evaluates whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued. As part of such evaluation, the Company did not identify any conditions that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. Accordingly, the Company adopted the going concern basis in preparing its unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These statements and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the annual predecessor combined carve-out financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026.
These unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the Company’s annual predecessor combined carve-out financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies and the recent accounting pronouncements can be found in Note 2 of the Company’s predecessor combined carve-out financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026. There have been no material changes to these policies up to this date.
3. Transactions with Related Parties:
(a) Costamare Shipping Company S.A. (“Costamare Shipping”) and Costamare Shipping Services Ltd. (“Costamare Services”): Costamare Shipping is a ship management company controlled by Konstantinos Konstantakopoulos, Costamare’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Costamare Shipping provides the Company, pursuant to a Framework Agreement between Costamare and Costamare Shipping, dated November 2, 2025, as amended and restated on January 17, 2020, June 28 2021 and as further amended and restated on May 6, 2025 (the “CMRE Framework Agreement”), with commercial, technical and other management services. Costamare Services, a company controlled by Costamare’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a member of his family, provides, pursuant to a Services Agreement among Costamare’s vessel-owning subsidiaries and Costamare Services, as most recently amended and restated on May 6, 2025 (the “CMRE Services Agreement”), the Company’s vessel-owning subsidiaries with chartering, sale and purchase, insurance and certain representation and administrative services. On November 27, 2015, Costamare amended and restated the Registration Rights Agreement entered into in connection with Costamare’s Initial Public Offering to extend registration rights to Costamare Shipping and Costamare Services, each of which have received or may receive shares of its common stock as fee compensation.
Pursuant to the CMRE Framework Agreement and the CMRE Services Agreement, Costamare Shipping and Costamare Services received (i) for each vessel, a daily fee of $1.020 and $0.510 for any vessel subject to a bareboat charter, effective from January 1, 2022, prorated for the calendar days the Company owned each vessel and for the three-month period following the date of the sale of a vessel, (ii) a flat fee of $840, effective from January 1, 2022, for the supervision of the construction of any newbuild vessel contracted by the Company, (iii) a fee of 1.25% on all gross freight, demurrage, charter hire, ballast bonus or other income earned with respect to each vessel in the Company’s owned fleet and (iv) a quarterly fee of $667 (as of January 1, 2022) plus the value of 149,600 shares of Costamare, which Costamare Services may elect to receive in kind. Fees under (i) and (ii) and the quarterly fee under (iv) are annually adjusted upwards to reflect any strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar and/or material unforeseen cost increases.
Costamare is able to terminate the CMRE Framework Agreement and/or the CMRE Services Agreement, subject to a termination fee, by providing written notice to Costamare Shipping or Costamare Services, as applicable, at least 12 months before the end of the subsequent one-year term. The termination fee is equal to (a) the number of full years remaining prior to December 31, 2035, times (b) the aggregate fees due and payable to Costamare Shipping or Costamare Services, as applicable, during the 12-month period ending on the date of termination (without taking into account any reduction in fees under the CMRE Framework Agreement to reflect that certain obligations have been delegated to a sub-manager or a sub-provider, as applicable); provided that the termination fee will always be at least two times the aggregate fees over the 12-month period described above.
Management fees charged by Costamare Shipping in the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, amounted to $4,207 and $2,984, respectively, and are included in Management and agency fees - related parties in the accompanying unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statements of operations.

In addition, Costamare Shipping and Costamare Services charged (i) $470 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 ($572 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024), representing a fee of 1.25% on all gross revenues, as provided in the CMRE Framework Agreement and the CMRE Services Agreement, as applicable, which is separately reflected in Voyage expenses - related parties in the accompanying unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statements of operations, (ii) $239, representing the pro-rata basis portion of the annual fee of $2,667, which is included in “General and administrative expenses – related parties” in the accompanying unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statements of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 ($246 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024) and (iii) $528, representing the pro-rata basis portion of the fair value of 149,600 shares of Costamare, which is included in “General and administrative expenses – related parties” in the accompanying unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statements of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025 ($626 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2024).

Furthermore, in accordance with the management agreements with third-party managers, third-party managers have been provided with the amount of $50 per vessel as working capital security. As of December 31, 2024, the working capital security was $1,650 in aggregate, of which $1,600 is included in “Accounts receivable, net, non-current” and $50 in “Accounts receivable, net”, in the accompanying predecessor combined carve-out balance sheet.
The balance due to Costamare Shipping as of December 31, 2024 amounted to $2,393 and is included in “Due to related parties” in the accompanying predecessor combined carve-out balance sheet. The balance due to Costamare Services at December 31, 2024 amounted to $764 and is included in “Due to related parties” in the accompanying predecessor combined carve-out balance sheet.
Following the completion of the Spin-Off discussed in Note 1, (i) Costamare Bulkers entered into an agreement with Costamare Shipping for the provision of administrative, commercial and other management services on terms substantially the same as the terms of the CMRE Framework Agreement, and (ii) the vessel-owning companies entered into an agreement with Costamare Services for the provision of chartering, sale and purchase, insurance and certain representation and administrative services on terms substantially the same as the terms of the CMRE Services Agreement including the fee structure thereunder.
(b) Local Agencies: Costamare Bulkers Services GmbH (“Local Agency A”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Germany, Costamare Bulkers Services ApS (“Local Agency B”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Denmark, and Costamare Bulkers Services Co., Ltd. (“Local Agency D”), a company incorporated under the laws of Japan, are wholly-owned by Costamare’s Chairman and Chief Executive officer. Costamare Bulkers Services Pte. Ltd. (“Local Agency C” and together with Local Agency A, Local Agency B and Local Agency D, the “Local Agencies”), a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Singapore, is wholly-owned by Costamare’s Chief Financial Officer, who is also the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. CBI entered into separate Agency agreements with Local Agency A, Local Agency B and Local Agency C on November 14, 2022, as amended and restated on June 15, 2023, April 30, 2024 and December 16, 2024 and with Local Agency D on November 20, 2023, as amended and restated on December 16, 2024 (each, an “Agency Agreement”) for the provision of chartering and other services on a cost basis (including all expenses related to the provision of the services) plus a mark-up which is currently set at 11%. CBI may charter-out its vessels to Local Agency C, as shippers in Asia and the Australia-Pacific region prefer to deal with a chartering company based in Singapore. Local Agency C does not receive any commissions whatsoever for such arrangements as it is acting in the circumstances as a “paying/receiving agent” for CBI. All the economic results of the relevant charter-out arrangements by Local Agency C are passed onto CBI on a back-to-back basis including any address commissions received by Local Agency C. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, CBI has charged Local Agency C an amount of nil and $55,689, respectively, for chartering-in vessels from CBI, which is included in “Voyage revenue - related parties” in the accompanying unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statements of operations and Local Agency C has charged CBI an amount of nil and $1,939, respectively, for address commission which is included in “Voyage expenses - related parties” in the accompanying unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statements of operations. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, the Local Agencies charged CBI with aggregate agency fees of $3,274 and $3,465, respectively, which are included in “Management and agency fees - related parties” in the accompanying unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statements of operations.
The balance due from the four Local Agencies as of December 31, 2024 amounted to $7,014 (out of which an amount of $6,299 relates to Local Agency C’s chartering-in vessels activity from CBI) and is included in “Due from related parties” in the accompanying predecessor combined carve-out balance sheet.
(c) Navilands Bulker Management Ltd. (‘‘Navilands’’) and Navilands (Shanghai) Bulkers Management Ltd. (‘‘Navilands (Shanghai)’’): Navilands and Navilands (Shanghai) are controlled by Costamare’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Starting in February 2024, certain of our vessel-owning subsidiaries appointed Navilands as managers to provide their vessels, together with Costamare Shipping, with technical, crewing, commercial, provisioning, bunkering, sale and purchase, accounting and insurance services pursuant to separate ship-management agreements between each of the Company’s vessel-owning subsidiaries and Navilands. For certain vessels, Navilands has subcontracted certain services to and has entered into sub-management agreements with Navilands (Shanghai). During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2025, Navilands charged management fees of $48 and $504, respectively, which are included in “Management and agency fees - related parties” in the accompanying predecessor combined carve-out statements of operations.

13. Derivatives:
(a) Interest rate caps that meet the criteria for hedge accounting: The Company manages its exposure to floating interest rates by entering into interest rate caps agreements with varying start and maturity dates.
The interest rate derivative instruments are designed to hedge the variability of interest cash flows arising from floating rate debt, attributable to movements in SOFR. According to the Company’s Risk Management Accounting Policy, after putting in place the formal documentation at the inception of the hedging relationship, as required by ASC 815, these interest rate derivatives instruments qualified for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of the interest rate derivative instruments that qualified for hedge accounting is recorded in the unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statements of comprehensive income/ loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings and is presented in Interest and finance costs. The change in the fair value of the interest rate derivative instruments that did not qualify for hedge accounting is recorded in Gain / (loss) on derivative instruments, net.
During the three-month period ended March 31, 2024, the Company terminated the interest rate cap related to the loan discussed in Note 7.1, amended the interest rate cap related to the loan discussed in Note 7.2 and received the aggregate amount of $777, which is included in Gain on derivative instruments, net in the accompanying 2024 unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out statement of operations.

Following ASC 815 provisions and on the basis that enforceable master netting arrangement exists, the Company adopted net presentation for the assets and liabilities of these instruments. The fair value of these derivatives outstanding as of December 31, 2024 amounted to a net liability of $447.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company had a series of EUA futures, none of which qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value of these derivatives outstanding as of December 31, 2024 amounted to an asset of $307.

14. Financial Instruments:
(a) Interest rate risk: The Company’s interest rates and loan repayment terms are described in Note 7.
(b) Concentration of credit risk: Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, margin deposits, accounts receivable, net (included in current and non-current assets), due from related parties and derivative contracts (interest rate caps, FFAs, bunkers swap agreements and EUA futures). The Company places its cash and cash equivalents, consisting mostly of deposits, with established financial institutions. The Company performs periodic evaluations of the relative credit standing of those financial institutions. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to its derivative instruments; however, the Company limits its exposure by diversifying among counterparties with high credit ratings and/or clearing certain of its derivative contracts via established clearing houses. The Company also limits its accounts receivable credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition. The Company receives charter hires in advance and thus generally does not require collateral for its accounts receivable. In addition, the Company follows standardized established policies which include monitoring of the counterparties’ financial performance, debt covenants (including vessels values), and shipping industry trends.
(c) Fair value: The carrying amounts reflected in the accompanying predecessor combined carve-out balance sheet of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, net, margin deposits, accounts payable, due from/ to related parties and related party loans, approximate their respective fair values due to the short maturity of these instruments. The fair value of long-term bank loans with variable interest rates approximates the recorded values, generally due to their variable interest rates. The fair value of the interest rate cap agreements, the FFAs, the bunker swap agreements and EUA Futures discussed in Note 13 are determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as defined in FASB guidance for Fair Value Measurements and are derived principally from publicly available market data.
The fair value of the forward freight agreements, the EUA futures and bunker swap agreements discussed in Note 13(c) determined through Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2024, amounted to a net liability of $19,295.
