Forward Looking Statement
This presentation contains “forward-looking statements”. In some cases, you can identify these
statements by forward-looking words such as “believe”, “intend”, “anticipate”, “estimate”,
“project”, “forecast”, “plan”, “potential”, “may”, “should”, “could” and “expect” and similar
expressions. These statements are not historical facts but instead represent only Costamare’s
belief regarding future results, many of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and
outside of Costamare’s control. It is possible that actual results may differ, possibly materially,
from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. For a discussion of some of the
risks and important factors that could affect future results, see the discussion in Costamare
Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 20-F (File No. 001-34934) under the caption “Risk Factors”.

Note: The Company reports its financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). However, management believes that certain non-GAAP financial
measures used in managing the business may provide users of these financial information additional meaningful comparisons between current results and results in prior operating periods.
EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation and amortization of deferred dry-docking & special survey costs. Adjusted EBITDA represents
net income before interest and finance costs, interest income, depreciation, amortization of deferred dry-docking & special survey costs, gain/(loss) on sale of vessels, non-cash changes in
fair value of derivatives, non-cash changes in “Accrued charter revenue” deriving from escalating charter rates under which certain of our vessels operate and the cash of partial purchases of
consumable stores for newly acquired vessels. “Accrued charter revenue” is attributed to the time difference between the revenue recognition and the cash collection. However, EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or “GAAP.” We believe that the presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 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 EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in evaluating our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we believe that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful in
evaluating our operating performance and liquidity position compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA generally eliminates
the effects of financings, income taxes and the accounting effects of capital expenditures and acquisitions, items which may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall
operating performance and liquidity. In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of
the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-
recurring items.
