MONACO, Feb. 17, 2022 (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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2021.

Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners stated, “I am pleased with the outstanding results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2021. During the fourth quarter of 2021, Navios Partners recorded revenue of $268.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $156.6 million and Adjusted Net Income of $121.8 million. For the full year of 2021, Navios Partners recorded revenue of $713.2 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $426.5 million, and Adjusted Net Income of $364.1 million.”

Angeliki Frangou continued, “In 2021, we reimagined the public shipping company. Today, Navios Partners is one of the leading U.S. publicly-listed shipping companies diversified across 15 vessel types in three segments, servicing more than 10 end markets. Each segment works independently to mitigate volatility from the other. While we do not expect this to work perfectly, we believe the diversity will sufficiently reduce volatility and create flexibility in our operational and financial decision-making process as we charter, purchase and sell vessels and finance our activities.”

Fleet Update

  • Acquisition of four 5,300 TEU Newbuilding Containerships in Q4 2021

In November 2021, Navios Partners agreed to purchase four 5,300 TEU newbuilding containerships (two plus two optional) for a purchase price of $62.8 million each. The vessels are expected to be delivered into Navios Partners’ fleet during 2024. The closing of the transaction of the two optional containerships is subject to completion of customary documentation.

Following the acquisition of the four vessels, Navios Partners has an approximately $1.0 billion investment in 18 newbuilding vessels delivering through 2024.

  • Sale of two 16-year old Containerships

In February 2022, Navios Partners agreed to sell the Navios Utmost and the Navios Unite, two 2006-built Containerships of 8,204 TEU each, to an unrelated third party for an aggregate sales price of $220.0 million. The sale is expected to be completed during the second half of 2022.

Following the above transactions, Navios Partners will own and operate a fleet comprised of 54 dry bulk vessels, 47 containerships and 45 tanker vessels.

Secured Long-term Time Charters for 11 Containerships

Navios Partners has secured new long-term time charters for 11 containerships which are expected to generate approximately $670 million contracted revenue.

Three month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Time charter and voyage revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 2021 increased by approximately $198.9 million, or 287.4%, to $268.1 million, as compared to $69.2 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 December 31, 2021, TCE rate increased by 64.1% to $23,005 per day, as compared to $14,021 per day for the same period in 2020. The available days of the fleet increased by 136.5% to 11,363 days for the three month period ended December 31, 2021, as compared to 4,805 for the same period in 2020 mainly due to the mergers with Navios Containers and Navios Acquisition.

EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $121.1 million to $156.6 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $35.5 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $198.9 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; and (ii) $1.1 million increase in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. The above increase was partially mitigated by: (i) a $47.5 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) a $13.9 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (iii) an $8.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (iv) a $6.3 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items); (v) a $2.2 million decrease in other income, net and (vi) a $0.5 million decrease in equity net earnings of affiliated companies.

Net income/(loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders for the three month periods ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income for the three month period ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $121.8 million as compared to $12.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2020. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to a: (i) $121.1 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA; and (ii) $30.9 million increase in amortization of the unfavorable lease terms. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $30.9 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) $9.6 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net; (iii) $2.4 million increase in amortization for deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items; and (iv) $0.1 million decrease in interest income.

Years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

Time charter and voyage revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by approximately $486.4 million, or 214.5%, to $713.2 million, as compared to $226.8 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 TCE rate. For the year ended December 31, 2021, TCE rate increased by 73.7% to $21,709 per day, as compared to $12,497 per day for the same period in 2020. The available days of the fleet increased by 82.9% to 31,884 days for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to 17,430 for the same period in 2020 mainly due to the NNA Merger and NMCI Merger.

EBITDA of Navios Partners for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $326.7 million to $426.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $99.8 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $486.4 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; and (ii) $4.9 million increase in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $97.7 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) $25.1 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (iii) $17.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (iv) $13.0 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items); (v) $10.2 million increase in other expense, net; and (vi) $1.1 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies.

Net income attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $516.2 million as compared to a $68.5 million net loss for the same period in 2020. Net income/ (loss) was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $364.1 million compared to $9.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to a: (i) $326.7 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) $108.5 million increase in the amortization of the unfavorable lease terms recorded in the year ended December 31, 2021; and (iii) $0.3 million increase in interest income. The above increase was partially mitigated by: (i) a $56.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) an $18.6 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net; and (iii) a $6.0 million increase in amortization for deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items.

(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.
(4)TCE rate: Time Charter Equivalent rate per day is defined as voyage, time charter revenues and bareboat charter-out revenues (grossed up by currently applicable fixed vessel operating expenses) 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 / (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 loss 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.
