MONACO, April 29, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) (NYSE: NMM), an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels, today reported its financial results for the first quarter ended 2021.

Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners, stated, “I am pleased with the results for the first quarter of 2021. During the first quarter, total revenue of Navios Partners and Navios Containers, was $108.8 million and total adjusted EBITDA was $56.4 million.”

Angeliki Frangou continued, “Navios Partners today is a top-ten publicly listed dry cargo fleet company with 89 vessels comprised of 51 dry bulk vessels and 38 containerships. We expect that our diversified fleet will benefit from the distinct industry drivers while also offering some insulation against cyclicality.  For example, given the ongoing strength in the container industry, we fixed about 89% of available days.  In contrast, in the dry bulk segment, we have over 62% of available days open or on index linked charters so that we can capture further market firming.  We believe these two segments housed in a single company strengthen our business.”

Merger with Navios Maritime Containers L.P.

On March 31, 2021, Navios Partners completed the merger contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 31, 2020, by and among Navios Partners, its direct wholly-owned subsidiary NMM Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”), Navios Maritime Containers L.P.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Navios Containers, with Navios Containers continuing as the surviving partnership. As a result of the Merger, Navios Containers became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Partners. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding common unit of Navios Containers that was held by a unitholder other than Navios Partners, Navios Containers and their respective subsidiaries was converted into the right to receive 0.39 of a common unit of Navios Partners. As a result of the Merger, 8,133,452 common units of Navios Partners were issued to former public unitholders of Navios Containers.

Three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020

Time charter and voyage revenues of Navios Partners for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 increased by approximately $18.6 million, or 40.0%, to $65.1 million, as compared to $46.5 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate per day by 38.4% to $14,836 per day for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $10,717 per day in the same period in 2020.

EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 was affected by items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $14.6 million to $33.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $19.1 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to: (i) an approximate $18.6 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; and (ii) a $0.6 million decrease in time charter voyage expenses mainly due to the increased bunker expenses arising from the increased number of freight voyages in the first quarter of 2020. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $0.8 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) $0.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet and an increase in other professional fees; (iii) $0.5 million loss on sale of vessels mainly relating to the sale of the Joie N; (iv) $0.8 million decrease in other income; and (v) $1.7 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies.

Net income of Navios Partners for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $136.6 million as compared to $10.7 million net loss for the same period in 2020. Net income was affected by items described in the table above. Excluding these items, adjusted net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $11.8 million compared to $3.8 million loss for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The increase in adjusted net income of $15.6 million was due to a: (i) $14.6 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) $1.1 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net; and (iii) $0.6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $0.6 million increase in direct vessel expenses; and (ii) $0.1 million decrease in interest income.

(1)Available days for the fleet represent total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Partners’ and Navios Containers’ 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’ and Navios Containers’ 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.

(4)TCE rate: Time Charter Equivalent rate per day is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period. The TCE rate per day is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels on various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings/ (Loss) 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 (loss)/ income attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders before interest and finance costs, before 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 reconcile 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 of affiliate companies; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) non-cash accrued interest income and amortization of deferred revenue; (viii) equity compensation expense; (ix) non-cash accrued interest income from receivable from affiliates; and (x) amortization of operating lease right-of-use asset. 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.

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.
