MONACO, Nov. 10, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) (NYSE: NMM), an international owner and operator of dry cargo and tanker vessels, today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine month periods ended September 30, 2023.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners stated, “I am pleased with the results for the third quarter of 2023. During the third quarter of 2023, Navios Partners recorded Revenue of $228.0 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $145.2 million and Net Income of $162.1 million.”
Angeliki Frangou continued, “Navios Partners is one of the largest U.S. publicly-listed shipping companies, operating across three segments, with 15 vessel types, servicing more than 10 end markets. Diversification creates resiliency in our overall business model, enabling us to mitigate individual segment volatility, while also allowing us to leverage each sector’s unique fundamentals. Diversification also creates significant flexibility in chartering, S&P and financing activities.
We have been taking advantage of robust markets through our chartering activity. In our containership segment, we have secured a number of long-term charters and have thus far fixed 88.1% of available containership days for 2023 and developed $1.6 billion in total contracted revenue through 2030. In our dry bulk segment, we continue to benefit from a strong spot market, with most available days exposed to market. We are positioned to fix vessels once attractive period charters are available. Lastly, our tanker segment is benefiting from existing long-term contracts and a materially improving market. We hope that the tanker market continues to strengthen.”
Merger with Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation
On October 15, 2023, Navios Partners completed its merger (the “Merger”) with Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”). As a result of the Merger, Navios Acquisition became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Partners. Each outstanding common unit of Navios Acquisition that was held by a unitholder other than Navios Partners, Navios Acquisition and their respective subsidiaries was converted into the right to receive 0.1275 of a common unit of Navios Partners. As a result of the Merger, 3,388,226 common units of Navios Partners were issued to former public unitholders of Navios Acquisition. On August 25, 2023, Navios Partners purchased 44.1 million shares of Navios Acquisition, thereby acquiring a controlling interest in Navios Acquisition, and the results of operations of Navios Acquisition are included in Navios Partners’ consolidated statements of operations commencing on August 26, 2023.
Fleet Update
On October 29, 2023, Navios Partners completed the sale of the Navios Altair I, a 2006-built Panamax vessel of 74,475 dwt to an unrelated third party for a sale price of $14.0 million.
Following the completion of the Merger, Navios Partners owns and operates a fleet comprised of 54 dry bulk vessels, 43 containerships and 45 tanker vessels.
Financing Update
Navios Partners is in advanced discussions with a commercial bank for a new credit facility of up to $72.7 million for the refinancing of: (i) $20.0 million maturing in December 2023; (ii) $33.2 million maturing in the second and third quarter of 2023; and (iii) $26.7 million maturing in the second quarter of 2024. The new facility is expected to: (i) have an amortization profile of eight years; (ii) mature in the fourth quarter of 2026; and (iii) bear interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% per annum. The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2023. No assurance can be provided that the definitive agreement will be executed or that the refinancing will be consummated in whole or in part.
In each of September and October 2023, Navios Partners agreed to enter into a bareboat charter-in agreement for a newbuilding Kamsarmax vessel of approximately 81,000 dwt. The total amount financed for the two vessels is approximately $52.7 million and the implied effective interest rate for each is 4.8% and 4.3%, respectively.
Cash Distribution
The Board of Directors of Navios Partners declared a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2023 of $0.05 per unit. The cash distribution is payable on November 12, 2023 to all unitholders of record as of November 8, 2023. The declaration and payment of any further dividends remain subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, Navios Partners’ cash requirements as measured by market opportunities and restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem advisable.
Secured Long-term Time Charters for 10 Containerships
Navios Partners has secured new long-term time charters for 10 containerships which are expected to generate approximately $690.0 million contracted revenue.
- Six 5,300 TEU newbuilding containerships, expected to be delivered in 2023 and 2024, have been chartered-out for 60 – 64 months at an average net rate of $37,050 per day.
- Three 4,250 TEU containerships have been chartered-out for 50 – 54 months and one 4,250 TEU containership for 42 – 44 months. The total average net rate for the first 42 – 44 months amounts to $46,536 per day (2.25x the current average contracted net rate of $20,663 for 3.4x duration) and for the remaining period amounts to $31,906 per day.
Long-Term Cash Flow
Navios Partners has entered into medium to long-term time charter-out agreements for its vessels with a remaining average term of approximately 1.6 years. Navios Partners has currently fixed 78.8% of its available days for the fourth quarter of 2023, 42.0% for 2023 and 22.5% for 2023. Navios Partners expects to generate contracted revenues of approximately $215.4 million, $582.0 million and $380.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2023, for 2023 and for 2023, respectively. The average expected daily charter-out rate for the fleet is $23,388, $29,350 and $34,095 for the fourth quarter of 2023, for 2023 and for 2023, respectively.

Three month periods ended September 30, 2023 and 2020
Time charter and voyage revenues from the dry cargo vessels operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2023 increased by approximately $143.1 million, or 221.9%, to $207.6 million, as compared to $64.5 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the size of our fleet and to the increase in Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate. For the three month period ended September 30, 2023, TCE rate increased by 90.8% to $26,054 per day, as compared to $13,652 per day for the same period in 2020. The available days of the dry cargo fleet increased by 71.3% to 7,707 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to 4,499 for the same period in 2020 mainly due to the merger with Navios Containers.
Time charter and voyage revenues of Navios Acquisition for the period from August 26, 2023 to September 30, 2023 amounted to $20.4 million.
EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three month period ended September 30, 2023 and 2020 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $114.3 million to $145.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2023, as compared to $30.9 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $163.5 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; (ii) $3.9 million increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest; and (iii) $0.4 million decrease in equity net loss of affiliated companies. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $29.7 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) $7.9 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (iii) $6.6 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items); (iv) $4.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; and (v) $4.5 million increase in other expense, net.

The increase in adjusted net income was primarily due to a: (i) $114.3 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA; and (ii) $35.6 million increase in amortization of the unfavorable lease terms recorded in the three month period ended September 30, 2023. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $17.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) $9.0 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net; (iii) $1.6 million increase in amortization for deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items; and (iv) $0.1 million decrease in interest income.

The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the size of our fleet and to the increase in TCE rate.

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $287.5 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; and (ii) $3.9 million increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. The above increase was partially mitigated by: (i) a $50.3 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) a $11.2 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (iii) an $8.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (iv) a $7.0 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items); (v) a $7.9 million increase in other expense, net; and (vi) a $0.6 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies.

| (1 | ) | Available days for the fleet represent total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Partners’ possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with scheduled repairs, dry dockings or special surveys and ballast days relating to voyages. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which a vessel is capable of generating revenues. |
| (2 | ) | Operating days are the number of available days in the relevant period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a relevant period during which vessels actually generate revenues. |
| (3 | ) | Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Partners’ vessels were available for generating revenue, and is determined by dividing the number of operating days during a relevant period by the number of available days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure efficiency in finding employment for vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs, dry dockings or special surveys. |

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income/ (Loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders and Adjusted Earnings/ (Loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders per Common Unit basic and diluted are “non-U.S. GAAP financial measures” and should not be used in isolation or considered substitutes for net income/ (loss), cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
EBITDA represents net income/ (loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders before interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization (including intangible accelerated amortization) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain items, as described under “Earnings Highlights”. Navios Partners uses Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by operating activities adding back, when applicable and as the case may be, the effect of: (i) net increase/ (decrease) in operating assets; (ii) net (increase)/ decrease in operating liabilities; (iii) net interest cost; (iv) amortization and write-off of deferred financing cost; (v) equity in net earnings/ (loss) of affiliated companies; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) non-cash accrued interest income and amortization of deferred revenue; (viii) stock-based compensation expense; (ix) non-cash accrued interest income from receivable from affiliated companies; (x) amortization of operating lease right-of-use asset; (xi) gain/(loss) on sale of assets and bargain purchase gain; and (xii) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Navios Partners believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are each the basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and presents useful information to investors regarding Navios Partners’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and make cash distributions. Navios Partners also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used: (i) by potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates; and (iii) by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Partners’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Partners’ performance. Furthermore, our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
We present Adjusted Net Income/ (Loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income/ (Loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders adjusts net income for the items described above under “Earnings Highlights”. The definition of Adjusted Net Income/ (Loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. Adjusted Basic Earnings/ (Loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders per Common Unit is defined as Adjusted Net Income / (Loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders divided by the weighted average number of common units outstanding for each of the periods presented, basic and diluted.
