Operator

Thank you for standing by, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Costamare Inc. conference call on the first quarter 2026 financial results. We have with us Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Financial Officer of the company. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. There will be a presentation followed by a question-and-answer session. At that time, if you wish to ask a question, please press star then one on your telephone keypad and wait for your name to be announced. I must advise you that this conference call is being recorded today, Wednesday, April 29th, 2026. We would like to remind you that this conference call contains forward-looking statements. Please take a moment to read slide number two on the presentation which contains the forward-looking statements. I will now pass the floor over to your speaker today, Mr. Zikos. Please go ahead, sir.

Gregory Zikos

Thank you, and good morning, ladies and gentlemen. During the first quarter of the year, the company generated net income of about $75 million. Total liquidity amounted to about $645 million. Executing on our strategy of renewing the fleet and securing long-term cash flows from high-quality counterparties. We have ordered a total of 16 new buildings from first-class Chinese shipyards. 12 of the ships are 9,200 TEUs and 4 x 3,100 TEUs capacity. The vessels are expected to be delivered between the fourth quarter of 2027 and the second quarter of 2030. Upon delivery, all ships will commence long-term charters with COSCO Shipping of 15 years and 8 years for the 12 x 9,000 TEU ships and the 4 x 3,100 TEU vessels respectively.

Gregory Zikos

We are pleased to expand our valued and long-lasting relationship with COSCO through the completion of our latest 16 new buildings transaction. Incremental contracted revenues for the new charters amount to about $2.8 billion. The acquisitions will be funded with equity and debt. Pre- and post-delivery financing for a tenure of up to 15 years has been arranged for all 16 ships with two leading Chinese financial institutions. In addition to the above, we have agreed to acquire two secondhand 5,600 TEU vessels built in 2001. The acquisitions are expected to be completed in Q4 2026, upon which each vessels shall commence a 42-month time charter with a leading liner operator. As a consequence, total contracted revenues have reached $6.2 billion, with the remaining time charter duration of 6.1 years.

Gregory Zikos

In light of the above, management is pleased to recommend to the Board of Directors to increase the quarterly dividend per share from $0.115-$0.125. While rewarding our shareholders as a result of increased cash flows, profitability, and visibility, the payment of that dividend is not expected to affect our capacity to continue growing on a healthy basis in a volatile market environment. Moving now to the slide presentation. On the first slide, you can see our first quarter results. Adjusted net income for the quarter was $76 million or $0.63 per share. Net income for the quarter was $75 million or $0.62 per share. Our liquidity stands at above $640 million. Management has announced the intention to recommend a dividend increase to the Board.

Gregory Zikos

Subject to approval, the quarterly dividend would increase from $0.115-$0.125 per share, starting with Q2 2026. Slide four. We have concluded new building contracts for 16 container ships with expected deliveries between Q4 2027 and Q2 2030, bringing the total number of our vessels under construction to 22. Upon delivery, each vessel will commence a long-term charter with a leading liner company. We have already arranged pre- and post-delivery financing for all the new buildings. Slide five. Here we show our new building program. In total, we now have 22 vessels under construction, increasing the weighted average duration of our chartered book by about two years. All our new buildings have long-term employment and signed pre- and post-delivery financing already in place. Slide six.

Gregory Zikos

This slide highlights the effect of the new building program on our fleet age. By 2030, the program reduces average fleet age by about 3.7 years compared to the average age of our fleet had we not entered into the new building contracts. Slide seven. Regarding S&P activity, we have agreed to acquire two secondhand 5,600 TEU capacity container ships with expected delivery in Q4 2026. Upon delivery, each vessels shall commence a 42-month time charter with a leading liner. Both acquisitions are expected to be financed with debt and cash on hand. On the employment side, our revenue days are fixed 97% for 2026 and 94% for 2027, while our contracted revenues are $6.2 billion, with a TEU weighted remaining time charter duration of 6.1 years.

Gregory Zikos

Moving to the last slide, charter rates in the container shipping market remain at robust levels. The idled fleet remains at very low levels at 1%, indicating a fully employed market. With that, we conclude our presentation, and we can now take questions. Thank you. Operator, we can take questions now.

The Bull Case For Costamare (CMRE) Could Change Following Mixed 2025 Results And Huge Contract Wins

Simply Wall St.

Costamare Inc. has reported its full-year 2025 results, with revenue of US$877.9 million slightly lower than last year, while net income increased to US$364.58 million and Q4 earnings per share of US$0.60 came in below analyst expectations. Alongside the earnings release, Costamare expanded its forward charter coverage, taking total contracted revenue to about US$3.40 billion and fixing the majority of 2026–2027 fleet days, which materially enhances long-term cash flow visibility. We’ll now examine how the Q4 earnings miss alongside US$3.40 billion of contracted revenue affects Costamare’s existing investment narrative. Uncover the next big thing with 31 elite penny stocks that balance risk and reward. To own Costamare, you need to be comfortable with a ship owner whose story hinges on contracted cash flows and disciplined capital use, but still operates in a cyclical, cost sensitive industry. The Q4 earnings miss puts short term attention on cost control, yet the US$3.40 billion in contracted revenue and high charter coverage into 2026 and 2027 mean the immediate cash flow narrative appears largely intact, while cost inflation remains a key risk. The most relevant development alongside earnings is the forward chartering of 12 vessels, which added about US$940 million in incremental contracted revenue and lifted the backlog to US$3.40 billion. This reinforces the existing catalyst that investors are focused on: high charter coverage and extended contract durations that support more predictable earnings, albeit with the ongoing risk that weaker markets or counterparties could still challenge margins over time. Yet investors should be aware that even with US$3.40 billion of contracted revenue, the real test for Costamare lies in ... Read the full narrative on Costamare (it's free!) Costamare's narrative projects $448.3 million revenue and $285.2 million earnings by 2028. This involves revenues declining by 40.1% per year and an earnings decrease of $29.8 million from $315.0 million today. Uncover how Costamare's forecasts yield a $12.50 fair value, a 27% downside to its current price. Two fair value estimates from the Simply Wall St Community cluster between about US$10.00 and US$12.50 per share, well below the current market price. Against that backdrop, the reliance on tight container supply and strong charter rates as a key earnings catalyst may play out ve...

Costamare Inc (NYSE:CMRE) generated a net income of approximately $73 million for the fourth quarter and $370 million for the entire year. The company has secured long-term cash flows by forward chartering 12 vessels with a TEU weighted average duration of 6 years, contributing to incremental contracted revenues of about $940 million. Fleet deployment is strong with 96% and 92% fixed for 2026 and 2027, respectively, and total contracted revenues have reached $3.4 billion. The company maintains a robust liquidity position with $590 million available. Costamare Inc (NYSE:CMRE) has a long, uninterrupted dividend track record, indicating financial stability and shareholder value. The company faces a limited supply of vessels available for charter due to an ongoing shortage of ships, which could impact future growth opportunities. Despite strong cash flows, there is no current plan to prepay debt earlier than the original maturity, potentially limiting financial flexibility. The increase in deferred revenues, driven by accounting treatments, may complicate financial modeling and analysis for investors. The company has significant investment commitments, with $665 million already committed, which could strain financial resources if market conditions change. Charter rates, while currently robust, are subject to market fluctuations that c...

Costamare Inc. Q4 2025 Earnings Call Summary

Moby

Performance was driven by a strategy of securing long-term cash flows from high-quality counterparties, resulting in $370 million net income for the full year. The company forward chartered 12 vessels (4,000 to 14,000 TEUs) to commence over the next three years, adding approximately $940 million in incremental contracted revenues. Fleet deployment is highly insulated from near-term volatility, with 96% of 2026 and 92% of 2027 revenue days already fixed. The containership market remains robust due to a structural shortage of ships, evidenced by an idle fleet of less than 1% and continued high demand for tonnage. Strategic expansion into the leasing sector via Neptune Maritime Leasing has reached over $665 million in total investments and commitments across 54 shipping assets. Management emphasized a healthy liquidity position of $590 million and a total contracted revenue backlog of $3.4 billion with a 4.5-year weighted duration. Future revenue stability is underpinned by a TEU-weighted average duration of 6 years for the newly secured forward charters. Financing for all six newbuild vessels has been agreed upon, covering both pre- and post-delivery phases to ensure seamless fleet integration. The company intends to maintain its long-term dividend track record, supported by predictable cash flows from the contracted backlog. Management expects to continue optimizing the balance sheet through selective refinancing of container ships at lower funding costs. The company has no significant debt maturities until 2027, providing a clear runway for capital allocation and investment. Investment commitment in the Neptune Maritime Leasing platform was increased to approximately $250 million, with $180 million already deployed. Adjusted net income for the year was $376 million, slightly higher than the reported net income of $370 million due to non-cash accounting adjustments. Our analysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here. Management stated they have no intention to prepay debt earlier than original maturities despite solid free cash flow. The decision is based on the company's relatively low leverage and the absence of backloaded debt payments. The focus will remain on prudent amortization and opportunistic refinancing rather than aggressive deleveraging. Managemen...
