<u>Long-term Charter-in Agreements</u> 

· Delivery of the newbuild, 81,800 DWT capacity dry bulk vessel, *Hermes Century*:

- Minimum tenor of charter-in period of 5 years.

- Company retains extension options and purchase options for the tenor of the charter-in period.

Vessel has been time-chartered out for a period of approximately one year at a rate generating a daily gross profit of approximately $3,600.

· Agreement to charter-in an additional newbuild Kamsarmax vessel under a long-term period charter with extension and purchase options
upon delivery (expected Q2 2027–Q1 2028).

<sup>1</sup> This earnings release focuses on the financial results and management's discussion and analysis of Costamare Bulkers for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Costamare Bulkers had nominal operations during the corresponding period in 2025 and remained a wholly owned subsidiary of Costamare Inc. ("Costamare"), a New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") listed company, until May 6, 2025, when it became an independent publicly traded company listed on the NYSE through a spin-off from Costamare. Accordingly, no comparative figures are presented for the three-month period ended March 31, 2025.

<sup>2</sup> Adjusted Net Income and respective per share figures are non-GAAP measures and should not be used in isolation or as substitutes for Costamare Bulkers financial results presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). For the definition and reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, please refer to Exhibit I.

<sup>3</sup> Liquidity includes Cash (as defined in footnote 4) and $84.7 million of available undrawn funds from one hunting license facility as of March 31, 2026.

<sup>4</sup> Cash denotes Cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash) of $258.5 million plus margin deposits of $10.1 million relating mainly to our forward freight agreements ("FFAs") and bunker swaps.

<sup>5</sup> Debt denotes Long-term debt including current and non-current portion.

<sup>6</sup> The vessel is currently on time charter, expiring in February 2027 (at the earliest) with charterers' option to extend until June 2028.

<u>Vessel Disposals</u> 

· Conclusion of the sale of the 2011-built, 180,643 DWT capacity dry bulk vessel, *Miracle*, resulting
in capital gains of approximately $7.0 million.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**III.** **OPERATING PLATFORM** 

· Completion<sup>7</sup> of the transfer of the majority of the trading book<sup>8</sup> to Cargill International S.A. ("Cargill").

· The operating platform<sup>9</sup> is currently focused on Kamsarmax-type vessels and consists of 20
third-party owned dry bulk vessels including:

- Two Capesize vessels chartered-in under period charters (one expected to be redelivered within 2026).

- 18 Kamsarmax vessels, 17 of which are chartered-in under short-term period charters or time charter trips.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**IV.** **OWNED FLEET** 

· Costamare Bulkers currently owns a fleet of 30 dry bulk vessels with a total capacity of approximately
2.7 million DWT, consisting of:

- 6 Capesize vessels, all of which are on period charters.

- 7 Kamsarmax vessels, all of which are on period charters.

- 9 Ultramax vessels, out of which 7 are on period charters.

- 8 Supramax vessels, out of which 6 are on period charters.

· The majority of the period charters are on index-linked charter agreements with owner's option to
convert to fixed rate based on the prevailing FFA curve.

<sup>7</sup> Excluding one vessel whose charter-in agreement is scheduled to be novated to Cargill in Q2 2026.

<sup>8</sup> As of September 29, 2025 and pursuant to the Strategic Cooperation Agreement with Cargill.

<sup>9</sup> As of May 12, 2026, and excluding one vessel whose charter-in agreement is scheduled to be novated to Cargill and two vessels sub-chartered out to Cargill on back to back terms pursuant to the Strategic Cooperation Agreement.

**Mr. Gregory Zikos, Chief Executive Officer of Costamare Bulkers Holdings Limited, commented:**

**"**During the first quarter of the year Costamare Bulkers generated an adjusted net income of $12.4 million.

As of today, we have successfully transferred a majority of the Company's legacy trading portfolio pursuant to our deal with Cargill, effectively de-risking our balance sheet. We expect that our trading platform will be free of the remaining legacy trades by year end.

As part of our fleet renewal program, we recently concluded the sale of one 2011-built Capesize vessel and the acquisition of one 2018-built Ultramax. At the same time we accepted delivery of one newbuilding Kamsarmax chartered in for a minimum period of 5 years. The vessel has been chartered out at a profitable rate for a minimum period of 11 months.

With total cash of about $270 million and debt of ca. $140 million, the Company is net cash positive, positioning us favorably to grow countercyclically in a low asset value environment.

Regarding the market, during the first four months of the year the market exhibited elevated volatility relative to historical averages, driven by increased activity and inefficiencies, while geopolitical instability contributed additional uncertainty.

Capesize earnings were supported by robust iron ore and bauxite volumes, coupled with limited fleet growth. Ton-mile demand was further reinforced by the expansion of West Africa–China trade flows across both commodities.

Alongside the firm Capesize market and broadly positive dry bulk sentiment, the Panamax index was further supported by a record soybean harvest in Brazil, as well as the U.S.–China agreement reached at the end of 2025, which drove long-haul soybean shipments during the first quarter.

Finally, the Supramax segment recorded a solid start to the year, as increased grain and minor bulk flows offset the negative impact of the Strait of Hormuz closure, which reduced Persian Gulf export volumes by approximately 50%."

(1) "Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis" represents Total voyage revenue adjusted for any non-cash revenue recognized during the period resulting from certain charter arrangements with escalating or descending rates. This measure is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes that the presentation of Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is useful to investors because it reflects charter revenue for the relevant period based on the applicable contractual charter rates during such period. No such adjustment was required for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

(2) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share.

**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 period. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, voyage revenue, net income, or other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures include (i) Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (reconciled above), (ii) Adjusted Net Income and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share.

| **Adjusted Net Income** | $**12424** |

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share represent Net Income before deferred charter-in expense, non-recurring, non-cash write-off of loan deferred financing costs, non-recurring expenses for realignment of operating platform, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component and gain on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments. However, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share are useful in evaluating our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share generally eliminates the effects of 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share, 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Previously, the Company's calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share included adjustments for any gain/loss incurred in connection with the sale of vessels and for any loss on vessels held for sale. As the Company's fleet management activities may, subject to market and other conditions, periodically include the sale of dry bulk vessels, the Company no longer includes such adjustments in its calculation of these non-GAAP measures beginning with the results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. We believe this updated methodology provides a more meaningful view of the Company's operating performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Items to consider for comparability, when prior period figures are presented, include gains and charges.
Gains positively impacting Net Income are reflected as deductions to Adjusted Net Income. Charges negatively impacting Net Income are
reflected as increases to Adjusted Net Income.

| Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Available Days | 2587 |
| Owned Dry Bulk Fleet Utilization | 97.4% |

<sup>(1)</sup> We calculate utilization of our owned dry bulk fleet (including vessels chartered-in by CBI) by dividing (i) the aggregate number of our on-hire days and ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days) in a period of our owned dry bulk fleet by (ii) the number of our available days (owned dry bulk fleet) during such period. We use the following definitions in our calculation of utilization of owned dry bulk fleet:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *On-hire days.* We define on-hire days as the total days that a vessel was on-hire during a
period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days).* We define ballast days (excluding dry dock
ballast days) during a period, as the total number of days that a vessel is not on-hire, but is conducting ordinary ship operations (other
than dry dock ballast days) which includes repositioning from a discharging port to a loading port, sailing to a port for the conclusion
of a prospective sale of a vessel or a change of the technical manager of a vessel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Available days*. We define available days as the number of our ownership days of our owned dry bulk
fleet during a period *less* the aggregate number of dry dock days and dry dock ballast days during such period. We use
the following definitions in our calculation of available days (owned dry bulk fleet):

✔ *Dry dock days.* We define dry dock days as the days during a period that a vessel underwent scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, scheduled dry-docking or special surveys.

**Financial Report**

**Results of Operations**

***Three-month period ended March 31, 2026<sup>1</sup>***

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, we had an average of 30.5 vessels in our owned fleet. Furthermore, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, we chartered-in an average of 23.8 third-party dry bulk vessels.

<sup>(I)</sup> Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis represents Total voyage revenue adjusted for any non-cash revenue recognized during the period resulting from certain charter arrangements and is not a recognized measurement under GAAP. No such adjustment was required for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

<sup>(II)</sup> Vessels in our owned fleet.

*Total Voyage Revenue*

 

Total voyage revenue was $111.5 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, and mainly includes voyage revenue earned by the charter-out activities of both owned and chartered-in vessels and contractual reimbursements from certain of our charterers for EU Emissions Allowances ("EUAs") and Fuel EU Maritime penalties.

*Voyage Expenses*

 

Voyage expenses were $23.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Voyage expenses mainly include (i) fuel consumption, primarily relating to the activities of the charter-in vessels, (ii) third-party commissions, (iii) port expenses, (iv) canal tolls and (v) EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime expenses; however, a significant portion of EUAs and Fuel EU Maritime expenses are contractually reimbursed by the charterers, as discussed in "Total Voyage Revenue", mitigating the net expenses impact.

*Charter-in Hire Expenses*

 

Charter-in hire expenses were $46.0 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, relating to the chartering-in of third-party dry bulk vessels.

*Voyage Expenses – related parties*

 

Voyage expenses – related parties were $0.8 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. 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) address commissions on certain charter-out agreements payable to a related agent. This commission is subsequently paid in full on a back-to-back basis by the related agent to its respective third-party clients with no benefit for the related agent.

*Vessels' Operating Expenses*

 

Vessels' operating expenses were $16.7 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Daily vessels' operating expenses were $6,094 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. 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 $2.3 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 and include an amount of $0.7 million that was paid to a related service provider.

 

 

*Management and Agency Fees – related parties*

 

Management fees charged by our related party managers were $3.0 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

Furthermore, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, agency fees of $2.4 million, in aggregate, were charged by four related agents.

*General and Administrative Expenses – non-cash component*

 

General and administrative expenses - non-cash component for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 amounted to $0.9 million, representing the value of the shares issued to a related service provider on March 30, 2026.

*Amortization of Dry-Docking and Special Survey Costs*

 

Amortization of deferred dry-docking and special survey costs was $1.6 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, two vessels underwent and completed their dry-docking and special surveys and one vessel was in the process of completing her dry-docking and special survey.

*Depreciation*

 

Depreciation expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026 was $8.6 million.

*Gain on Sale of Vessels*

 

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, we recorded an aggregate gain of $7.7 million from the sale of the dry bulk vessels *Clara* and *Miracle.*

 

*Interest Income*

 

Interest income amounted to $1.6 million for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

*Interest and Finance Costs*

 

Interest and finance costs were $2.6 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026. Interest and finance costs include mainly interest expense on our bank loans, amortization of deferred financing costs, bank charges and other financial expenses.

*Other, net*

 

Other, net, amounted to $5.2 million during the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, mainly related to certain non-recurring expenses in connection with the realignment of the operating platform.

*Gain on Derivative Instruments, net*

 

As of March 31, 2026, we hold derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting. 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 March 31, 2026, the fair value of these instruments, in aggregate, amounted to a net asset of $2.7 million. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, the change in the fair value (fair value as of, March 31, 2026 compared to fair value as of December 31, 2025) of the derivative instruments, including their realized components during the period, resulted in a net gain of $2.3 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 March 31, 2026, was $18.9 million.

***Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities***

 ****

Net cash provided by investing activities was $38.6 million in the three-month period ended March 31, 2026, which mainly consisted of proceeds we received from the sale of the dry bulk vessels *Clara* and *Miracle*; partly offset by (i) an advance payment for the acquisition of the secondhand dry bulk vessel *Astros (*ex. *Koushun)* and (ii) payments for upgrades for certain of our dry bulk vessels.

***Net Cash Used in Financing Activities***

(1) "Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis" represents Total voyage revenue adjusted for any non-cash revenue recognized during the period resulting from certain charter arrangements with escalating or descending rates. This measure is not a recognized measurement under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Management believes that the presentation of Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis is useful to investors because it reflects charter revenue for the relevant period based on the applicable contractual charter rates during such period. No such adjustment was required for the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

(2) Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are non-GAAP measures. Refer to the reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share.

**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 period. Non-GAAP financial measures should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, voyage revenue, net income, or other measures determined in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures include (i) Total voyage revenue adjusted on a cash basis (reconciled above), (ii) Adjusted Net Income and (iii) Adjusted Earnings per Share.

Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share represent Net Income before deferred charter-in expense, non-recurring, non-cash write-off of loan deferred financing costs, non-recurring expenses for realignment of operating platform, general and administrative expenses - non-cash component and gain on derivative instruments, excluding realized (gain)/loss on derivative instruments. However, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share are useful in evaluating our ability to service additional debt and make capital expenditures. In addition, we believe that Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share generally eliminates the effects of 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share, 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 and Adjusted Earnings per Share should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items. Previously, the Company's calculation of Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Share included adjustments for any gain/loss incurred in connection with the sale of vessels and for any loss on vessels held for sale. As the Company's fleet management activities may, subject to market and other conditions, periodically include the sale of dry bulk vessels, the Company no longer includes such adjustments in its calculation of these non-GAAP measures beginning with the results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. We believe this updated methodology provides a more meaningful view of the Company's operating performance.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) Items to consider for comparability, when prior period figures are presented, include gains and charges.
Gains positively impacting Net Income are reflected as deductions to Adjusted Net Income. Charges negatively impacting Net Income are
reflected as increases to Adjusted Net Income.

<sup>(1)</sup> We calculate utilization of our owned dry bulk fleet (including vessels chartered-in by CBI) by dividing (i) the aggregate number of our on-hire days and ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days) in a period of our owned dry bulk fleet by (ii) the number of our available days (owned dry bulk fleet) during such period. We use the following definitions in our calculation of utilization of owned dry bulk fleet:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *On-hire days.* We define on-hire days as the total days that a vessel was on-hire during a
period.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Ballast days (excluding dry dock ballast days).* We define ballast days (excluding dry dock
ballast days) during a period, as the total number of days that a vessel is not on-hire, but is conducting ordinary ship operations (other
than dry dock ballast days) which includes repositioning from a discharging port to a loading port, sailing to a port for the conclusion
of a prospective sale of a vessel or a change of the technical manager of a vessel.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;· *Available days*. We define available days as the number of our ownership days of our owned dry bulk
