COSTAMARE BULKERS HOLDINGS LIMITED PREDECESSOR

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)

 

1. Basis of Presentation and General Information:

 

The unaudited interim predecessor combined carve-out financial statements include the dry bulk business of Costamare Inc. (“Costamare”), a publicly listed company on the New York Stock Exchange, prior to the spin-off of such business into a standalone public company, Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited (“Costamare Bulkers”), a company organized under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, on May 6, 2025 by way of a pro rata distribution of Costamare Bulkers shares to Costamare shareholders (“Spin-Off”). The dry bulk business consisted of: (i) 67 wholly-owned subsidiaries of Costamare, operating or having operated or been formed with the intention to operate in the dry bulk sector with owned vessels since June 2021 along with Costamare Bulkers Ships Inc. (“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.

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.

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.

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.

 

As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not hold any interest rate caps.

 

(b) Interest rate caps that do not meet the criteria for hedge accounting: As of December 31, 2024, the Company did not hold any interest rate caps.

 

(c) Forward Freight Agreements (“FFAs”), Bunker swap agreements and EUA futures: As of December 31, 2024, 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, 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.

 

As of December 31, 2024, 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, 2024 amounted to a net liability of $19,155. 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. As of December 31, 2024, the Company deposited cash collateral related to its FFA derivative instruments, bunker swaps and EUA futures of $45,221, which is recorded within margin deposits in the accompanying predecessor combined carve-out balance sheet. The amount of collateral to be posted is defined in the terms of the respective agreements executed with counterparties and is required when the agreed upon threshold limits are exceeded.

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.
