- Completion of charter restructuring with HMM
MONACO, Aug. 11, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners” or the “Company”) (NYSE:NMM), an international owner and operator of container and dry bulk vessels, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners stated, “For the second quarter of 2016, we recorded $44.9 million of revenue and earned $11.8 million of EBITDA.
Angeliki Frangou continued, “Navios Partners is a unique platform in the dry sector. Since the beginning of 2016, we have fortified our balance sheet, having reduced our debt by $44.6 million. As a result, our net debt to book capitalization is 42.5% and interest coverage is 4.3x. In addition, we have no significant debt maturities until 2018 and expect to generate $45.0 million in free cash flow for the remainder of 2016. We also benefit from annual operating savings that we enjoy through the economies of scale achieved by our sponsor, Navios Maritime Holdings Inc.”
Charter Restructuring with HMM
Pursuant to the charter restructuring documentation executed on July 15, 2016, it has been agreed that the hire rate of five Container vessels chartered out to Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. (“HMM”) will be reduced by 20%, as follows:
- With effect from (and including) July 18, 2016 until (and including) December 31, 2019, hire rate shall be reduced to $24,400 per day pro rata.
- With effect from (and including) January 1, 2020, hire rate shall be restored to the rate of $30,500 per day pro rata until redelivery.
In exchange under the charter restructuring agreement, the Company received:
- $7.7 million principal amount of senior, unsecured notes, amortizing subject to available cash flows, accruing interest at 3% per annum payable on maturity in July 2024; and
- 3.7 million freely tradable shares of HMM.
In August 2016, Navios Partners sold the 3.7 million shares of HMM generating net cash proceeds of approximately $21.3 million.
Sale of MSC Cristina
In June 2016, Navios Partners agreed to sell to an unrelated third party the MSC Cristina, a 2011 South Korean-built Container vessel of 13,100 TEU, for a total net sale price of $125.0 million, with delivery expected by the first quarter of 2017, subject to signing of definitive documentation.
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 2.4 years. Navios Partners has currently contracted out 94.9% of its available days for 2016, 55.5% for 2017 and 44.9% for 2018, including index-linked charters, respectively, expecting to generate revenues of approximately $191.2 million, $122.3 million and $103.9 million, respectively. The average expected daily charter-out rate for the fleet is $18,744, $25,526 and $27,200 for 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively.
Navios Partners has insurance on certain long-term charter-out contracts of drybulk vessels for credit default occurring until the end of 2016, through an agreement with Navios Maritime Holdings Inc., up to a maximum cash payment of $20.0 million.

Three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
Time charter and voyage revenues for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $11.6 million or 20.5% to $44.9 million, as compared to $56.5 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in TCE to $16,005 per day for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, from $20,679 per day for the three month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in time charter and voyage revenues was primarily due to the decline in the freight market during 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, and was partially mitigated by an increase in revenue due to the delivery of the MSC Cristina in the second quarter of 2015. As a result of the vessel acquisition in April 2015, available days of the fleet increased to 2,821 days for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to 2,659 days for the three month period ended June 30, 2015.
EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a $17.2 million impairment loss on one of our vessels. Excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $9.7 million to $29.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $38.7 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $11.6 million decrease in revenue; (ii) $0.6 million increase in management fees mainly due to the increased number of vessels; (iii) $0.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses; and (iv) $0.5 million increase in time and voyage charter expenses. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a $3.6 million increase in other income/ expense, net.
The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $3.0 million and $3.4 million, respectively (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Navios Partners generated Operating Surplus for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 of $19.4 million, compared to $29.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2015. Operating Surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a $17.2 million impairment loss on one of our vessels. Excluding this item, Adjusted net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 amounted to $0.4 million compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in Adjusted net income of $11.0 million was due to a: (i) $9.7 million decrease in adjusted EBITDA; (ii) $0.8 million increase in direct vessel expenses, comprising of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs; and (iii) $0.8 million increase in interest expenses and finance cost, net. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a $0.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense.
Six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
Time charter and voyage revenues for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 decreased by $22.7 million or 20.1% to $90.5 million, as compared to $113.3 million for the same period in 2015 The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in TCE to $15,764 per day for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, from $20,248 per day for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in time charter and voyage revenues was primarily due to the decline in the freight market during 2016, as compared to the same period in 2015, and was partially mitigated by an increase in revenue due to the delivery of the MSC Cristina in the second quarter of 2015. As a result of the vessel acquisition in April 2015, available days of the fleet increased to 5,642 days for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to 5,431 days for the six month period ended June 30, 2015.
EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a $17.2 million impairment loss on one of our vessels. Excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $19.6 million to $57.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $76.7 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $22.7 million decrease in revenue; (ii) $1.9 million increase in management fees due to the increased number of vessels and the increased daily management fee; (iii) $1.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses; and (iv) $0.7 million increase in other expenses. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $1.1 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses; and (ii) $5.8 million increase in other income.
The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $5.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Navios Partners generated operating surplus for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 of $37.7 million, compared to $57.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. Operating Surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a $17.2 million impairment loss on one of our vessels.

The decrease in Adjusted net income of $21.6 million was due to a: (i) $19.6 million decrease in adjusted EBITDA; (ii) $1.7 million increase in direct vessel expenses, comprising of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs; and (iii) $0.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $0.1 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net and (ii) $0.1 million increase in interest income.

| (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. 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 is 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 revenue generating available days, 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, drydockings or special surveys. | |
| (4 | ) | TCE rates: TCE rates are 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 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
1. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization and income taxes. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by/(used in) 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 of deferred finance charges and other related expenses, (v) provision for losses on accounts receivable, (vi) equity in affiliates, net of dividends received, (vii) payments for drydock and special survey costs, (viii) gain/(loss) on sale of assets/subsidiaries, and (ix) impairment charges. 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.
Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain items, as described under “Earnings Highlights”.
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.
2. Operating Surplus
Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense and estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. Maintenance and replacement capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain over the long term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, Navios Partners’ capital assets.
Operating Surplus is a quantitative measure used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Operating Surplus is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
3. Available Cash
Available Cash generally means for each fiscal quarter, all cash on hand at the end of the quarter:
- less the amount of cash reserves established by the Board of Directors to:
- provide for the proper conduct of Navios Partners’ business (including reserve for maintenance and replacement capital expenditures);
- comply with applicable law, any of Navios Partners’ debt instruments, or other agreements; or
- provide funds for distributions to the unitholders and to the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters;
- plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Working capital borrowings are generally borrowings that are made under any revolving credit or similar agreement used solely for working capital purposes or to pay distributions to partners.
Available Cash is a quantitative measure used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Available cash is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
