Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”) (NYSE:NNA), an owner and operator of tanker vessels, reported its financial results today for the third quarter and the nine month period ended September 30, 2017.

Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Acquisition stated, “We are pleased with our results for the third quarter of 2017, where we reported revenue of $54.0 million and EBITDA of $23.3 million. We also declared a dividend of $0.05 per share for the quarter, resulting in a dividend yield of about 16.0%.”

Angeliki Frangou continued, “The recent volatility in the price of oil and continued uncertainty in the outlook has adversely affected transportation. However, our long-term chartering strategy insulates us somewhat from this volatility.”

HIGHLIGHTS — RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Cash inflow of $55.1 million expected in the fourth quarter of 2017 from early repayment of loan to Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”)

In October 2017, Navios Holdings notified Navios Acquisition of its intention to fully prepay the loan facility entered into on September 19, 2016 with a payment of $55.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2017. The prepayment amount will consist of the $50.0 million drawn under the loan facility entered into with Navios Holdings and $5.1 million of accrued interest.

Dividend of $0.05 per share of common stock

On October 25, 2017, the Board of Directors of Navios Acquisition declared a quarterly cash dividend for the third quarter of 2017 of $0.05 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on December 12, 2017 to stockholders of record as of December 6, 2017. 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 Acquisition’s 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.

Navios Acquisition currently owns 36 vessels, of which eight are VLCCs, 26 are product tankers and two are chemical tankers.

As of November 2, 2017, Navios Acquisition had contracted 98.8% of its available days on a charter-out basis for 2017, which is expected to generate revenues of approximately $208.2 million. The average contractual net daily charter-out rate for the fleet is expected to be $17,312.

Three month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $14.0 million, or 20.6%, to $54.0 million, as compared to $68.1 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to a: (i) decrease in the market rates during the third quarter ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016; and (ii) decrease in revenue by $3.1 million due to the sale of two chemical tankers in the fourth quarter of 2016. Available days of the fleet decreased to 3,215 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 3,496 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2016. The time charter equivalent rate, or TCE Rate, decreased to $16,486 for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, from $19,159 for the three month period ended September 30, 2016.

Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $16.9 million to $8.1 million net loss as compared to $8.8 million net income for the same period of 2016. The decrease was due to a: (a) $18.7 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA; and (b) $0.3 million increase in direct vessel expenses; partially mitigated by a: (i) $1.7 million increase in interest income; (ii) $0.3 million share based compensation expense incurred in the third quarter ended September 30, 2016; and (iii) $0.1 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 decreased by approximately $18.7 million to $23.3 million as compared to $42.0 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $14.0 million decrease in revenue, as described above; (b) $5.9 million increase in time charter expenses mainly due to the accrued backstop commitment to Navios Midstream; and (c) $0.6 million increase in other expense, net, partially mitigated by a: (i) $1.2 million decrease in management fees, mainly due to the sale of two chemical tankers in the fourth quarter of 2016, as discussed above; (ii) $0.6 million increase in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; and (iii) $0.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding the share-based compensation expense).

Nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016

Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $46.0 million, or 20.6%, to $177.0 million, as compared to $223.0 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to a: (i) decrease in the market rates during the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016; and (ii) decrease in revenue by $10.1 million due to the sale of one MR2 product tanker in January 2016 and two chemical tankers in the fourth quarter of 2016. Available days of the fleet decreased to 9,678 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to 10,410 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016. The TCE Rate decreased to $17,814 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, from $21,082 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016.

On June 30, 2017, the Company recognized a $59.1 million non-cash impairment loss on its equity investment in Navios Midstream.

Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was adjusted to exclude the $59.1 million impairment loss, described above, and $0.7 million write-off of deferred finance cost. Adjusted net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $50.6 million to $7.1 million net loss as compared to $43.5 million net income for the same period of 2016. The decrease was due to a: (a) $55.4 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA; (b) $0.8 million increase in direct vessel expenses; partially mitigated by a: (i) $4.9 million increase in interest income; and (ii) $0.7 million decrease in depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 excludes the $59.1 million impairment loss, as discussed above, and decreased by $55.4 million to $87.8 million as compared to $143.2 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $46.0 million decrease in revenue, as described above; (b) $12.3 million increase in time charter expenses mainly due to the $11.2 million accrued backstop commitment to Navios Midstream; and (c) $3.9 million decrease in equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies, partially mitigated by a: (i) $2.7 million decrease in general and administrative expenses (excluding the share-based compensation expense); (ii) $2.6 million decrease in management fees, mainly due to the sale of one MR2 product tanker in January 2016 and two chemical tankers in the fourth quarter of 2016; (iii) $0.8 million decrease in other expense, net; and (iv) $0.7 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding amortization of dry dock and special survey costs).

Fleet Employment Profile

Navios Acquisition believes that the important measures for analyzing trends in its results of operations consist of the following:

(1 ) Available days: Available days for the fleet are total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition’s possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydocking or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.
(2 ) Operating days: 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: Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Acquisition’s 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 a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its 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 of various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or as substitution for Navios Acquisition’s results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization and before income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA in this document represents EBITDA excluding certain items, such as stock-based compensation, gain on sale of vessel and other- than- temporary- impairment loss on equity investment, as described under “Financial Highlights”. Adjusted net (loss)/ income and Adjusted (loss)/ income per share (basic) represent Net (loss)/ income and (loss)/ income per share (basic), excluding certain items as described under “Financial Highlights”. We use Adjusted EBITDA as 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. 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 cost and other related expenses; (v) equity in net earnings of affiliated companies, net of dividends received; (vi) payments for dry dock and special survey costs; (vii) impairment charges; (viii) gain/ loss on sale of assets; and (ix) stock based compensation. Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are each the basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and present useful information to investors regarding Navios Acquisition’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and pay dividends. Navios Acquisition 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 Acquisition’s 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 Acquisition’s 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.
