| In the containership market, recent events have been contributing positively to the supply and demand dynamics pushing up box and charter rates |
| So we are quite positive on that life of business |
| So we talk about three quarters of operation and over those three quarters the business has funding one to two basis, we are like 23 today funded and with a very strong pipeline going forward |
| The stock has been undervalued for quite some time now |
| This liquidity gives us the ability to look for opportunities to grow the company on a healthy basis |
| In addition, we continue to have a long uninterrupted dividend track record boosted by strong sponsor support |
| The fact that it is growing it’s good as well and I have to say that it’s not growing for the sake of growth, it’s growing based on deals that we fill from a credit perspective and also from a returns perspective including the back levels make sense |
| Since inception, NML has financed 23 assets through sale and leaseback transactions and has a very healthy pipeline going forward |
| Having invested $200 million in the new venture we have a long-term commitment to the sector whose fundamentals we view positively |
| Charter rates in the containership markets have been rising daily across all segments having benefited from the Red Sea prices |
| We are committed to fastly growing the leasing business on the back of a healthy pipeline extending over the coming quarters |
| So both dividends and share repurchases at a healthy stock price we are all like – the stock price go higher |
| So, boosting our returns at the same time being able to participate in more transactions with our equity shareholding |
| If we want to have attractive transactions with like manageable downside and also we have residual upside |
| Regarding Neptune Maritime Leasing, the platform has been steadily growing on a prudent basis throughout 2023 having now concluded leasing transactions for 23 ships with a total value of about $250 million |
| If you have to have first of all, if you want to have it would [Indiscernible] of residual value is with some potential upside |
| Today’s order book is up 8.5 of the total fleets |
| So our goal is to further grow the business and in order to boost our returns, as you can imagine, we are also focusing on back leveraging our equity |
| Those recent developments are mitigating the effects of oversupply in the containership market as tonnage is expected to remain tight at least until the Chinese New Year |
| 2023 has been a growth year for Costamare |
| Following our strategic decision in 2021 to enter into the dry bulk segment at an opportune time in the cycle, we have grown during 2023 our newly established trading platform to an operator managing a fleet of 61 dry bulk vessels |
| On the owned dry bulk fleet side, we are executing our strategy to renew the dry bulk fleet and increase its average size |

| For capes for instance for Q4, we saw increased volatility because of adverse weather conditions in China |
| Charter rates remain volatile having deteriorated from the highs of Q4 2023 |
| We don’t feel that the stock is undervalued while the opposite |
| So I cannot say that we saw something which made that market much more volatile |
| Then the second thing, also second hand prices still they are at levels which have come off and they may come off even more |
| So we are definitely that below NAV |
| But this was not linked to the sort of Red Sea disruptions |
| So the fact that we are not buying back shares it’s not because we don’t believe that the stock is undervalued |
| Regarding the Red Sea events in the CBI business I cannot say that we had a huge effect on our Voyage side charters or for like the profitability |
| So, concluding, I cannot say that we saw any major effects in the CBI business |
| The asset values have fallen sort of from the peak |
| It’s unlikely that repurchases are going to be executed |
| But again, but in order to have solid returns on our equity investments in Neptune, we need to have some back leverage as well, however at lower levels |
| You can never predict that market |
