Recent Developments

In July 2022 Navios Holdings agreed to sell its 36-vessel drybulk fleet for aggregate consideration of $835.0 million consisting of cash and the assumption of bank debt and finance leases related to the vessels, and subject to a working capital adjustment at closing (the “Transaction”), to Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) (NYSE: NMM). The Transaction closed in two tranches. The first tranche, involving the sale of 15 vessels, was completed on July 29, 2022. The second tranche, involving the sale of the remaining 21 vessels, was completed on September 8, 2022.

The aggregate Transaction consideration reduced Navios Holdings’ liabilities by approximately $784.2 million, consisting of:

	$441.6	Debt and finance leases (1)
	$262.6	Vessel loans (2)

Going forward, the Company plans to focus on growing the Navios South American Logistics Inc. (“Navios Logistics”) business. Navios Holdings owns a 63.8% controlling equity stake in Navios Logistics, and the results of operations of Navios Logistics are consolidated into Navios Holdings’ financial statements. Navios Logistics is a leading infrastructure and logistics company in the Hidrovia region of South America.

Revenue from the Dry Bulk Vessel Operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by $4.0 million, or 4.6%, to $90.0 million, as compared to $86.1 million for the same period during 2021. The increase in dry bulk revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the time charter and freight market during the three month period ended June 30, 2022. The TCE per day increased by 25.1% to $26,984 per day in the three month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $21,572 per day in the same period of 2021. This overall increase was partially mitigated by 641 fewer available days as compared to 2021, mainly due to (i) a decrease in charter-in vessels’ available days by 350 days due to the redelivery to owners of four charter-in vessels in 2021 and the acquisition of one charter-in vessel in 2021, which was then sold to a related party; and (ii) a decrease in available days of owned and bareboat-in vessels by 291 days following the sale of four of the Company’s vessels in 2021.

Revenue from the Logistics Business was $69.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $57.6 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to (i) a $6.6 million increase in revenue from the port terminal business mainly due to higher volumes transshipped in the grain port terminal due to increased Uruguayan soybean production and exports and higher tariffs at the iron ore terminal; (ii) a $4.7 million increase in revenue from the cabotage business mainly due to more operating days; and (iii) a $0.6 million increase in revenue from the barge business, mainly due to increased CoA/voyage revenues, related to higher liquid cargo moved. The overall increase was partially mitigated by a $0.3 million decrease in sales of products due to the decrease in the Paraguayan liquid port’s volume of products sold.

Net Income attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders was $45.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to a $24.9 million for the same period in 2021. This increase in Net Income was mainly due to (i) a $18.3 million increase in EBITDA as discussed in the paragraph below; (ii) a $1.2 million decrease in depreciation and amortization; (iii) a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net; and (iv) a $0.1 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. This overall increase of approximately $20.5 million was partially mitigated by (i) a $0.3 million increase in amortization of deferred drydock, special survey and other capitalized items and (ii) a $0.2 million increase in income tax expense.

Net Income of Navios Logistics, on a standalone basis, was $6.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 as compared to $1.1 million of Net Loss for the same period in 2021.

EBITDA of Navios Holdings for the three month period ended June 30, 2022 increased by $18.3 million to $98.9 million, as compared to $80.5 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in EBITDA was primarily due to (i) a $15.6 million increase in revenue; (ii) a $5.4 million decrease in impairment losses relating to the sale of drybulk vessels incurred in the three month period ended June 30, 2021; (iii) a $1.9 million increase in other income, net; (iv) a $1.2 million decrease in time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses; and (v) a $0.3 million increase in equity in net earnings from affiliate companies. This overall increase of $24.4 million was partially mitigated by (i) a $2.7 million increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest; (ii) a $2.0 million decrease in gain on bond extinguishment; (iii) a $0.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding stock-based compensation expenses); and (iv) a $0.5 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items).

EBITDA of Navios Logistics, on a standalone basis, was $31.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $21.4 million for the same period in 2021.

		(unaudited)						(unaudited)
Revenue	$	287,011					$	260,575

This overall increase was partially mitigated by 1,691 fewer available days as compared to 2021, mainly due to (i) a decrease in available days of owned and bareboat-in vessels by 870 days following the sale of seven of the Company’s vessels in 2021; and (ii) a decrease in charter-in vessels’ available days by 821 days due to the redelivery to owners of five charter-in vessels in 2021 and the acquisition of one charter-in vessel in 2021, which was then sold to a related party.

Revenue from the Logistics Business was $128.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $110.8 million for the same period in 2021.

This increase in Net Income was mainly due to (i) a $37.5 million increase in EBITDA as discussed in the paragraph below; (ii) a $3.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization; and (iii) a $0.2 million decrease in stock-based compensation expense. This overall increase of approximately $40.8 million was partially mitigated by (i) a $24.0 million upfront fee paid in the form of a convertible debenture in respect of NSM Loan I and NSM Loan II drawn down in January 2022; (ii) a $0.9 million increase in income tax expense; (iii) a $0.5 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net; and (iv) a $0.5 million increase in amortization of deferred drydock, special survey and other capitalized items.

(1)		Available days are the total number of days a vessel is controlled by a company less the aggregate number of days that the vessel is off-hire due to major repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, drydocking or special surveys and ballast days relating to voyages. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.
(2)		Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances.
(3)		Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Holdings’ 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.
(4)		Equivalent Vessels are defined as the available days of the fleet divided by the number of the calendar days in the period.
(5)		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 contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, as well as Navios Logistics’ EBITDA, are “non-U.S. GAAP financial measures” and should not be used in isolation or considered substitutes for net income, 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 attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization, before income taxes and before stock-based compensation. We use EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA 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) deferred financing costs and (losses)/gains on bond and debt extinguishment, net; (v) allowance for credit losses; (vi) earnings/(losses) in affiliate companies, net of dividends received; (vii) payments for drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items; (viii) noncontrolling interest; (ix) gain/ (loss) on sale of assets; (x) unrealized (loss)/gain on derivatives; (xi) loss on sale and reclassification to earnings of available-for-sale securities; and (xii) impairment losses. Navios Holdings believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and represents useful information to investors regarding Navios Holdings’ ability to incur indebtedness and meet working capital requirements. Navios Holdings also believes that EBITDA is used (i) by prospective lessors as well as 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.

While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to those used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Holdings’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) EBITDA does not reflect the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt and other financing arrangements; and (iii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, among others, EBITDA should not be considered as an indicator of Navios Holdings’ performance.

Navios Logistics EBITDA is used to measure its operating performance.
