Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Costamare reported solid profitability from continuing operations in Q2 2026 while facing softer top-line trends. Voyage revenue was $200.8 million, down 4.8% year over year, and net income from continuing operations available to common stockholders was $77.4 million, or $0.64 per share. Adjusted net income from continuing operations was $75.1 million, or $0.62 per share. For the first half of 2026, voyage revenue reached $402.3 million and net income from continuing operations available to common stockholders was $152.6 million, or $1.27 per share.

Cash generation moderated as net cash provided by operating activities was $101.8 million in Q2 and $214.2 million for the six months, while heavy investment in 18 newbuilds and vessel acquisitions drove investing outflows. Management highlighted total liquidity of $423 million and extensive refinancing activity: $920 million of new debt agreements closed and bilateral commitments for up to $331 million, leaving no debt maturities until 2030 and all tied to existing vessels. The containership fleet totals 69 operating ships plus 22 newbuilds and two secondhand acquisitions, with about $6.1 billion of contracted revenues and 97% and 94% of capacity fixed for 2026 and 2027, respectively, providing multi-year cash flow visibility.

Positive

  • $920 million of new debt financings plus up to $331 million in additional committed refinancings extend the debt maturity profile so that no debt matures before 2030.
  • $6.1 billion of contracted revenues with TEU-weighted duration of 5.9 years, and fleet fixed 97% for 2026 and 94% for 2027, provide strong earnings visibility.
  • Total liquidity of $423 million, including cash, restricted cash and U.S. Treasury bills, supports the sizeable newbuild and vessel acquisition program.

Negative

  • Q2 2026 voyage revenue of $200.8 million fell 4.8% year over year; cash-basis voyage revenue declined 7.1% to $196.3 million.
  • Net income from continuing operations available to common stockholders decreased from $99.6 million to $77.4 million in Q2 and from $205.8 million to $152.6 million for the six months.
  • Net cash provided by operating activities dropped from $136.0 million to $101.8 million in Q2 and from $283.2 million to $214.2 million for the six months.
  • Voyage expenses rose 10.8% in Q2 and 32.1% for the six months, driven by higher costs related to EU Emissions Allowances and Fuel EU Maritime compliance.

Filing Explained

The report adds a registration-statement incorporation and two vessels held for sale, while recording a $2.1 million share-based service-provider charge without share-count disclosure.

The July 27 Form 6-K furnishes Costamare’s interim results and states that its financial report is incorporated by reference into two existing F-3 registration statements; it does not report an offering, sale, or new issuance resulting from that incorporation.

The filing also says Porto Kagio and Porto Germeno were classified as held for sale during the second quarter, with no loss recorded because estimated fair value less costs to sell exceeded carrying value.

That classification changes their reported balance-sheet presentation, but the filing does not state that either vessel sale was completed.

Separately, second-quarter non-cash general and administrative expense included $2.1 million representing shares issued to a related service provider on June 30, 2026; the filing gives no share count or ownership percentage.

Q2 2026 voyage revenue $200.8 million Three-month period ended June 30, 2026; down 4.8% from $210.9 million in 2025
Q2 2026 net income to common (continuing ops) $77.4 million Three-month period ended June 30, 2026; earnings per share $0.64
Q2 2026 adjusted net income to common $75.1 million Adjusted net income from continuing operations; adjusted EPS $0.62
Six-month 2026 voyage revenue $402.3 million Six-month period ended June 30, 2026; down 6.0% from $428.1 million
Total liquidity $423 million Combines cash, cash equivalents (including restricted) and short-term U.S. Treasury bills
Contracted charter revenues approximately $6.1 billion Backlog with TEU-weighted duration of 5.9 years across the containership fleet
Q2 2026 operating cash flow $101.8 million Net cash provided by operating activities, three-month period ended June 30, 2026
New debt financing agreements $920 million New and refinanced facilities related to existing fleet; additional commitments up to $331 million
Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis financial
"Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis represents Voyage revenue after adjusting for non-cash items"
EU Emissions Allowances regulatory
"contractual reimbursements from certain of our charterers for EU Emissions Allowances 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.
Fuel EU Maritime penalties regulatory
"costs associated with EUAs, Fuel EU Maritime penalties and an increase in relevant expenses"
ownership days financial
"our fleet ownership days totaled 6,279 and 6,188 days, respectively. Ownership days are one of the primary drivers"
Ownership days refer to the total number of days that an investor holds a particular asset or investment. It is a way to measure how long an investor has kept their investment before selling or changing it, similar to tracking how many days someone owns a car before trading it in. This measure helps assess investment behavior and can influence decisions related to taxes, performance, and strategy.
sale type leases financial
"lower accounting revenue recorded for two of our vessels classified as sale type leases"
derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting financial
"we hold derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting and derivative financial instruments that do not"

(1) Accrued charter revenue represents the difference between cash received during the period and voyage 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 voyage revenue recognized on a straight-line basis. The reverse is true for charters with descending rates.

 

(2) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis represents Voyage revenue after adjusting for (i) non-cash “Accrued charter revenue” recorded under charters with escalating or descending charter rates, (ii) amortization of time charter assumed and (iii) amortization of deferred revenue. However, Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is not a recognized measurement under U.S. 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.

 

(3) Adjusted Net Income from Continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income from Continuing operations to Adjusted Net Income from Continuing operations and Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations.

 

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 periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, voyage revenue, net income or other measures 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 from Continuing operations available to common stockholders and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations.

Weighted average number of shares   120,039,623    120,666,982    120,118,047    120,742,914 

 

Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations represent Net Income from continuing operations after earnings from continuing operations allocated to preferred stock and Non-Controlling Interest, but before non-cash “Accrued charter revenue” recorded under charters with escalating or descending charter rates, amortization of time-charter assumed, amortization of deferred revenue, realized (gain)/loss on Euro/USD forward contracts, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component and (gain)/loss on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments. “Accrued charter revenue” is attributed to the timing difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection. However, Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are useful in evaluating our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations generally eliminates 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations, 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as deductions to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders. Charges negatively impacting Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as increases to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders.

Voyage Revenue

 

Voyage revenue decreased by 4.8%, or $10.1 million, to $200.8 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $210.9 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. The decrease period over period is mainly attributable to (i) the net decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels and (ii) the increased idle and off-hire days of our fleet (mainly due to scheduled dry-dockings) during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2025; partly offset by (i) the contractual reimbursements from certain of our charterers for EU Emissions Allowances (“EUAs”) and Fuel EU Maritime penalties and (ii) the revenue earned by one container vessel acquired during the third quarter of 2025.

 

Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash “Accrued charter revenue”, amortization of time-charter assumed and amortization of deferred revenue) decreased by 7.1%, or $14.9 million, to $196.3 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $211.2 million during the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.

 

Income from investments in leaseback vessels

 

Income from investments in leaseback vessels was $8.4 million and $7.0 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income from investments in leaseback vessels increased, period over period, due to the increased volume of NML’s operations during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. NML acquires, owns and bareboat charters out vessels through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

Voyage Expenses

 

Voyage expenses were $15.4 million and $13.9 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses increased period over period, mainly due to the recognition of increased net costs associated with EUAs, Fuel EU Maritime penalties and an increase in relevant expenses. However, a significant portion of these costs are contractually reimbursed by the charterers, as discussed in “Voyage Revenue”, mitigating the net expenses impact. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses of our vessels, primarily related to fuel consumption, (ii) third-party commissions and (iii) EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime expenses.

 

Voyage Expenses – related parties

 

Voyage expenses – related parties were $2.5 million and $2.9 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses – related parties represent (i) fees of 1.25%, in the aggregate, on voyage revenues earned by our owned fleet charged by a related manager and a related service provider and (ii) charter brokerage fees payable to one and two related charter brokerage companies for an amount of approximately $0.2 million and $0.3 million, in the aggregate, for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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, were $41.9 million and $40.7 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily vessels’ operating expenses were $6,678 and $6,581 for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily operating expenses are calculated as vessels’ operating expenses for the period over the ownership days of the period.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $3.2 million and $3.0 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and include amounts of $0.67 million and $0.67 million, respectively, that were paid to a related service provider.

 

Management Fees – related parties

 

Management fees charged by our related party managers were $7.5 million and $7.1 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amounts charged by our related party managers include amounts paid to third party managers of $1.5 million and $1.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expenses - non-cash component

 

General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $2.1 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on June 30, 2026. General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $1.4 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on June 30, 2025.

 

Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs

 

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $5.6 million and $4.8 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, six vessels underwent and completed their special surveys, and two vessels were in the process of completing their special surveys. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, two vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special survey and one vessel was in the process of completing her dry-docking and special survey.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation expense for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $32.6 million and $31.9 million, respectively.

 

Vessels held for sale

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, the container vessels Porto Kagio and Porto Germeno were classified as vessels held for sale but no loss on vessels held for sale was recorded since each vessel’s estimated fair value less costs to sell exceeded each vessel’s carrying value.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income amounted to $2.8 million and $5.5 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Interest and Finance Costs

 

Interest and finance costs were $17.5 million and $22.3 million during the three-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased interest expense due to a lower average loan balance and to the capitalized interest in relation with our newbuilding program during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Gain on Derivative Instruments, net

 

As of June 30, 2026, we hold derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting and derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of each derivative instrument that qualifies for hedge accounting is recorded in “Other Comprehensive Income” (“OCI”). 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 June 30, 2026, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $15.4 million. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of June 30, 2026 compared to the fair value as of March 31, 2026) of the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting resulted in a net gain of $0.2 million, which has been included in OCI. Furthermore, during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 the change in the fair value (fair value as of June 30, 2026 compared to the fair value as of March 31, 2026) of the derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, including the realized components of such derivative instruments during the quarter, resulted in a net gain of $0.8 million, which has been included in Gain on Derivative Instruments, net.

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

Net cash flows provided by operating activities for the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 decreased by $34.2 million to $101.8 million, from $136.0 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is mainly attributable to decreased net cash from operations and the increased special survey costs during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2025; partly offset by the favorable change in working capital position, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and the accrued charter revenue (as described above) and by the decrease in interest payments (including interest derivatives net receipts) during the three-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to the three-month period ended June 30, 2025.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $312.8 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2026, which mainly consisted of (i) advance payments for the construction of 17 newbuild container vessels, (ii) advance payments for the acquisition of two secondhand container vessels and (iii) payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels; partly offset by net receipts for net investments into which NML entered.

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $110.3 million in the three-month period ended June 30, 2025, which mainly consisted of payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels and payments for net investments into which NML entered.

Voyage Revenue

 

Voyage revenue decreased by 6.0%, or $25.8 million, to $402.3 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $428.1 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. The decrease period over period is mainly attributable to (i) the net decreased charter rates in certain of our vessels, (ii) the increased idle and off-hire days of our fleet (mainly due to scheduled dry-dockings) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 and (iii) the lower accounting revenue recorded for two of our vessels classified as sale type leases; partly offset by (i) the contractual reimbursements from certain of our charterers for EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime penalties and (ii) the revenue earned by one container vessel acquired during the third quarter of 2025.

 

Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (which eliminates non-cash “Accrued charter revenue”, amortization of time-charter assumed and amortization of deferred revenue) decreased by 7.2%, or $30.8 million, to $395.5 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, from $426.3 million during the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

 

Income from investments in leaseback vessels

 

Income from investments in leaseback vessels was $17.9 million and $12.7 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Income from investments in leaseback vessels increased, period over period, due to the increased volume of NML’s operations during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2025. NML acquires, owns and bareboat charters out vessels through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.

 

Voyage Expenses

 

Voyage expenses were $30.9 million and $23.4 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses increased period over period, mainly due to the recognition of costs associated with EUAs, Fuel EU Maritime penalties and an increase in relevant expenses. However, a significant portion of these costs are contractually reimbursed by the charterers, as discussed in “Voyage Revenue”, mitigating the net expenses impact. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) off-hire expenses of our vessels, primarily related to fuel consumption, (ii) third-party commissions and (iii) EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime expenses.

 

Voyage Expenses – related parties

 

Voyage expenses – related parties were $5.0 million and $5.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Voyage expenses – related parties represent (i) fees of 1.25%, in the aggregate, on voyage revenues earned by our owned fleet charged by a related manager and a related service provider and (ii) charter brokerage fees payable to one and two related charter brokerage companies for an amount of approximately $0.4 million and $0.7 million, in the aggregate, for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, 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, were $84.1 million and $79.2 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily vessels’ operating expenses were $6,733 and $6,432 for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Daily operating expenses are calculated as vessels’ operating expenses for the period over the ownership days of the period.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses were $8.3 million and $7.2 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and include amounts of $1.33 million and $1.33 million, respectively, that were paid to a related service provider.

 

Management Fees – related parties

 

Management fees charged by our related party managers were $14.8 million and $14.2 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The amounts charged by our related party managers include amounts paid to third party managers of $2.9 million and $2.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

General and Administrative Expenses - non-cash component

 

General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 amounted to $4.6 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 30, 2026 and on June 30, 2026. General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the six-month period ended June 30, 2025 amounted to $2.8 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 31, 2025 and on June 30, 2025.

 

Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs

 

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $11.1 million and $9.5 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, 13 vessels underwent and completed their special surveys, and two vessels were in the process of completing their special surveys. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2025, four vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special survey and one vessel was in the process of completing her dry-docking and special survey.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation expense for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was $65.4 million and $63.5 million, respectively.

 

Vessels held for sale

 

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the container vessels Porto Kagio and Porto Germeno were classified as vessels held for sale, but no loss on vessels held for sale was recorded since each vessel’s estimated fair value less costs to sell exceeded each vessel’s carrying value.

 

Interest Income

 

Interest income amounted to $6.7 million and $11.8 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

 

Interest and Finance Costs

 

Interest and finance costs were $36.5 million and $45.2 million during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to the decreased interest expense due to a lower average loan balance and to the capitalized interest in relation with our newbuilding program during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

Gain on Derivative Instruments, net

 

As of June 30, 2026, we hold derivative financial instruments that qualify for hedge accounting and derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of each derivative instrument that qualifies for hedge accounting is recorded in OCI. 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 June 30, 2026, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $15.4 million. During the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of June 30, 2026 compared to the fair value as of December 31, 2025) of the derivative instruments that qualify for hedge accounting resulted in a gain of $1.5 million, which has been included in OCI. Furthermore, during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of June 30, 2026 compared to the fair value as of December 31, 2025) of the derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting, including the realized components of such derivative instruments during the period, resulted in a net gain of $0.3 million, which has been included in Gain on Derivative Instruments, net.

The decrease is mainly attributable to decreased net cash from operations and the increased special survey costs during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2025; partly offset by the favorable change in working capital position, excluding the current portion of long-term debt and the accrued charter revenue (as described above) and by the decrease in interest payments (including interest derivatives net receipts) during the six-month period ended June 30, 2026 compared to the six-month period ended June 30, 2025.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $327.4 million in the six-month period ended June 30, 2026, which mainly consisted of (i) advance payments for the construction of 18 newbuild container vessels, (ii) advance payments for the acquisition of two secondhand container vessels and (iii) payments for upgrades for certain of our container vessels; partly offset by net receipts for net investments into which NML entered.

(1) Accrued charter revenue represents the difference between cash received during the period and voyage 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 voyage revenue recognized on a straight-line basis. The reverse is true for charters with descending rates.

 

(2) Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis represents Voyage revenue after adjusting for (i) non-cash “Accrued charter revenue” recorded under charters with escalating or descending charter rates, (ii) amortization of time charter assumed and (iii) amortization of deferred revenue. However, Voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is not a recognized measurement under U.S. 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.

 

(3) Adjusted Net Income from Continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income from Continuing operations to Adjusted Net Income from Continuing operations and Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations.

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 periods. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, voyage revenue, net income or other measures 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 from Continuing operations available to common stockholders and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share from Continuing operations.

Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations represent Net Income from continuing operations after earnings from continuing operations allocated to preferred stock and Non-Controlling Interest, but before non-cash “Accrued charter revenue” recorded under charters with escalating or descending charter rates, amortization of time-charter assumed, amortization of deferred revenue, realized (gain)/loss on Euro/USD forward contracts, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component and (gain)/loss on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments. “Accrued charter revenue” is attributed to the timing difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection. However, Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations are useful in evaluating our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations generally eliminates 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations, 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders and Adjusted Earnings per Share from continuing operations 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 from continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as deductions to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders. Charges negatively impacting Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders are reflected as increases to Adjusted Net Income from continuing operations available to common stockholders.
