Recent Developments

Sale of Ship Management

In August 2019, Navios Holdings announced that it sold its ship management division and certain general partnership interests (the “Transaction”) to N Shipmanagement Acquisition Corp. and related entities (“NSAC”), affiliated with Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Angeliki Frangou. The Company received aggregate consideration of $20.0 million (including assumption of liabilities) and new five-year service agreements under which NSAC will provide technical and commercial management services at fixed rates (as described below) and administrative services, reimbursed at allocable cost.

As a result of the Transaction:

2

The Company simultaneously entered into a secured loan agreement with NSAC whereby the Company agreed to repay NSAC $125.0 million (subject to post-closing adjustment) over a five-year period. In general, the amount owed reflects the excess of (i) the liabilities of the ship management business (including liabilities for advances previously made by affiliates to the Company for ongoing operating costs, including technical management services, supplies, dry-docking and related expenses) other than liabilities the assumption of which forms part of the consideration for the Transaction over (ii) the short term assets of the ship management business. Of the amount owed, $47.0 million will be repayable during the first 12 months in equal quarterly installments, with the remaining principal amount repayable in equal quarterly installments over the following 48 months. In certain cases, amortization can be deferred. The loan agreement provides for interest at 5% annually, and 7% annually for deferred principal amounts.

3

The closing of the Transaction occurred simultaneously with the execution of the definitive transaction agreements.

The Company’s Board of Directors formed a Special Committee of independent and disinterested directors to consider the Transaction. The Special Committee, with the assistance of its independent financial and legal advisors, exclusively negotiated the terms of the transaction agreements and approved the transaction on behalf of the Board of Directors.

Pareto Securities AS acted as financial advisor and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP acted as legal counsel to the Special Committee.

Fleet Update

In August 2019, Navios Holdings took delivery of the Navios Herakles I, a bareboat chartered-in, 82,036 dwt newbuilding bulk carrier.

In August 2019, Navios Holdings acquired from an unrelated third party, a previously chartered-in vessel, Navios Victory, a 2014 built, 77,095 dwt vessel, for a purchase price of $14.5 million, which was paid in cash.

In July 2019, the Company agreed to sell to an unrelated third party the Navios Primavera, a 2007-built Ultra Handymax vessel of 53,464 dwt, for a total net sale price of $9.9 million, to be paid in cash, with delivery expected in September 2019. The loss due to sale is expected to be approximately $1.7 million.

Navios Logistics

In the second quarter of 2019, Vale International S.A. (“Vale”) transshipped 390,020 tons of minerals through the Nueva Palmira port facility. Vale advised Navios Logistics that it intends to increase its throughput of minerals to approximately 512,000 tons and 640,000 tons for the third quarter of 2019 and the fourth quarter of 2019, respectively. In 2018, Vale transshipped 1,057,518 tons of iron ore through the Nueva Palmira port terminal facility, with the highest throughput of 357,434 tons in the first quarter of 2018.

Navios Containers

In July 2019, Navios Containers converted the obligation to purchase a 2011-built 10,000 TEU containership, into an option, expiring on March 31, 2020. The agreement grants Navios Containers the option and the right of first refusal to acquire the vessel at terms mutually agreed with the seller. In case Navios Containers does not exercise the option and the containership is not sold to a third party by March 31, 2020, Navios Containers will be required to make a payment of $3.0 million to the sellers.

Fleet

The following is the current Navios Holdings’ “core fleet” employment profile (excluding Navios Logistics and Navios Containers). The current “core fleet” consists of 57 vessels totaling 6.0 million deadweight tons and has an average age of 7.5 years, basis fully delivered fleet. The employment profile of the fleet as of August 28, 2019, is reflected in the tables below. Navios Holdings has currently chartered-out 90.8% of available days for the remaining six months of 2019, out of which 62.7% is on fixed rate and 28.1% is on index. Although the fees as presented below are based on contractual charter rates, any contract is subject to performance by the counterparties and us. Additionally, the level of these fees would decrease depending on the vessels’ off-hire days to perform periodic maintenance.

Owned Fleet. Navios Holdings owns a fleet comprised of seven Ultra Handymax vessels, 12 Capesize vessels, 11 Panamax vessels and one Handysize vessel.

Long-Term Fleet. In addition to the 31 owned vessels, Navios Holdings controls a fleet of six Capesize, 17 Panamax, two Ultra Handymax, and one Handysize vessels under long-term charter-in contracts, which have an average age of approximately 3.6 years, basis fully delivered fleet. The average daily charter-in rate for the active long-term charter-in vessels (excluding vessels which are utilized to fulfill COAs) for the remaining six months of 2019 is $13,841. We estimate the days of the long-term charter-in vessels (excluding vessels which are utilized to fulfill COAs) for the remaining six months of 2019 are 3,729 days.

Bareboat-in Fleet to be delivered

Many of Navios Holdings’ current long-term chartered-in vessels are chartered from ship owners with whom Navios Holdings has long-standing relationships. Navios Holdings pays these ship owners daily rates of hire for such vessels, and then charters out these vessels to other parties, who pay Navios Holdings a daily rate of hire. Navios Holdings also enters into COAs pursuant to which Navios Holdings has agreed to carry cargoes, typically for industrial customers, who export or import dry bulk cargoes. Further, Navios Holdings enters into spot market voyage contracts, where Navios Holdings is paid a rate per ton to carry a specified cargo from point A to point B.

Short-Term Fleet. Navios Holdings’ short-term fleet is comprised of Capesize, Panamax and Ultra Handymax vessels chartered-in for durations of less than 12 months. The number of short-term vessels varies from time to time. These vessels are not included in the “core fleet” of the Company.

Charter Policy and Industry Outlook

Navios Holdings’ policy has been to take a portfolio approach to managing operating risks. This policy may lead Navios Holdings to time charter-out many of the vessels that it is operating (i.e., vessels owned by Navios Holdings or which Navios Holdings has taken into its fleet under charters having a duration of more than 12 months) for long-term periods at fixed or floating rates to various shipping industry counterparties considered by Navios Holdings to have appropriate credit profiles. By doing this, Navios Holdings aims to lock in, subject to credit and operating risks, favorable forward revenue and cash flows, which it believes, will cushion it against unfavorable market conditions, when the Company deems necessary. In addition, Navios Holdings trades additional vessels taken in on shorter term charters of less than 12 months duration as well as voyage charters or COAs.

Generally, this chartering policy may have the effect of generating Time Charter Equivalents (“TCE”) that are higher than spot employment. The average daily charter-in vessel cost for the Navios Holdings long-term charter-in fleet (excluding vessels, which are utilized to serve voyage charters or COAs) was $13,510 per day for the six month period ended June 30, 2019. The average long-term charter-in hire rate per vessel was included in the amount of long-term hire included elsewhere in this Report and was computed by (a) multiplying (i) the daily charter-in rate for each vessel by (ii) the number of days each vessel is in operation for the year; (b) summing those individual multiplications; and (c) dividing such total by the total number of charter-in vessel days for the year. Furthermore, Navios Holdings has the ability to increase its owned fleet through purchase options exercisable in the future at favorable prices relative to the then-current market. Navios Holdings holds 21 purchase options, including the purchase options of the vessels under bareboat contracts, expected to be delivered through 2020.

Navios Holdings believes that a decrease in global commodity demand, due to recessions, trade wars or other causes, from its current level, and the delivery of dry bulk carrier new buildings into the world fleet, could have an adverse impact on future revenue and profitability. A reduced freight rate environment also has an adverse impact on the value of Navios Holdings’ owned fleet. In reaction to a decline in freight rates, available ship financing can also be negatively impacted.

Navios Logistics owns and operates vessels, barges and pushboats located mainly in Argentina, the largest independent bulk transfer and storage port facility in Uruguay, and an upriver liquid port facility located in Paraguay. Operating results for Navios Logistics are highly correlated to: (i) South American grain production and export, in particular Argentinean, Brazilian, Paraguayan, Uruguayan and Bolivian production and export; (ii) South American iron ore production and export, mainly from Brazil; and (iii) sales (and logistic services) of petroleum products in the Argentine and Paraguayan markets. Navios Holdings believes that the continuing development of these businesses will foster throughput growth and therefore increase revenues at Navios Logistics. Should this development be delayed, grain harvests be reduced, or the market experience an overall decrease in the demand for grain or iron ore, the operations in Navios Logistics could be adversely affected.

Navios Containers’ policy has been to take a portfolio approach to managing operating risks. This policy may lead Navios Containers to time charter-out many or all of the vessels that it is operating (i.e., vessels owned by Navios Containers or which Navios Containers controls) for periods at fixed rates to various shipping industry counterparties considered by Navios Containers to have appropriate credit profiles. By doing this, Navios Containers aims to lock in, subject to credit and operating risks, when Navios Containers deems necessary, favorable forward revenue and cash flows, which it believes, will cushion it against unfavorable market conditions.

Navios Containers believes that a decrease in the global finished and semi-finished goods trades from its current level, due to recessions, trade wars or other causes, and the delivery of containership new buildings into the world fleet, could have an adverse impact on future revenue and profitability. A reduced time charter rate environment also has an adverse impact on the value of Navios Containers’ owned fleet. In reaction to a decline in time charter rates, available ship financing can also be negatively impacted.

Factors Affecting Navios Holdings’ Results of Operations

Navios Holdings believes the principal factors that will affect its future results of operations are the economic, regulatory, political and governmental conditions that affect the shipping industry generally and that affect conditions in countries and markets in which its vessels engage in business. Please read “Risk Factors” included in Navios Holdings’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC for a discussion of certain risks inherent in its business.

Navios Holdings actively manages the risk in its operations by: (i) operating the vessels in its fleet in accordance with all applicable international standards of safety and technical ship management; (ii) enhancing vessel utilization and profitability through an appropriate mix of long-term charters complemented by spot charters (time charters for short-term employment) and COAs; (iii) monitoring the financial impact of corporate exposure from both physical and FFAs transactions; (iv) monitoring market and counterparty credit risk limits; (v) adhering to risk management and operation policies and procedures; and (vi) requiring counterparty credit approvals.

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

11

Voyage and Time Charter

Revenues are driven primarily by the number and type of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which such vessels operate and the amount of daily charter hire rates that the vessels earn under charters, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to a long-term period which may be many years. Under a time charter, owners assume no risk for finding business and obtaining and paying for fuel or other expenses related to the voyage, such as port entry fees. In general, a long-term time charter assures the vessel owner of a consistent stream of revenue. Operating the vessel in the spot market affords the owner greater spot market opportunity, which may result in high rates when vessels are in high demand or low rates when vessel availability exceeds demand. Vessel charter rates are affected by world economics, international events, weather conditions, labor strikes, governmental policies, supply and demand, and many other factors that might be beyond the control of management.

Consistent with industry practice, Navios Holdings uses TCE rates as a method of analyzing fluctuations between financial periods and as a method of equating revenue generated from a voyage charter to time charter revenue.

TCE rate also serves as an industry standard for measuring revenue and comparing results between geographical regions and among competitors.

The cost to maintain and operate a vessel increases with the age of the vessel. Older vessels are less fuel efficient, cost more to insure and require upgrades from time to time to comply with new regulations. The average age of Navios Holdings’ owned fleet is 10.9 years, excluding vessels agreed to be sold. As Navios Holdings’ fleet ages or if Navios Holdings expands its fleet by acquiring previously owned and older vessels, the cost per vessel would be expected to rise and, assuming all else, including rates, remains constant, vessel profitability would be expected to decrease.

Statement of Operations Breakdown by Segment

Navios Holdings reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues and not by vessel type, length of ship employment, customers or type of charter. Navios Holdings does not use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for each such type of charter. Although revenue can be identified for each type of charter, management does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial information on a charter-by-charter or type of charter basis. The reportable segments reflect the internal organization of the Company and are strategic businesses that offer different products and services. The Company currently has three reportable segments: Dry Bulk Vessel Operations, the Logistics Business and the Containers Business. The Dry Bulk Vessel Operations segment consists of the transportation and handling of bulk cargoes through the ownership, operation, and trading of vessels and freight. The Logistics Business segment consists of port terminal business, barge business and cabotage business in the Hidrovia region of South America. The Containers Business is a reportable segment, as a result of the consolidation of Navios Containers since November 30, 2018 (date of obtaining control). Navios Holdings measures segment performance based on net income attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders.

For further segment information, please see Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

Period over Period Comparisons

For the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2019 Compared to the Three Month Period Ended June 30, 2018

The following table presents consolidated revenue and expense information for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. This information was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss)/income of Navios Holdings for the respective periods. Navios Containers was consolidated since November 30, 2018, as such no comparative figures are presented for the Containers Business.

Set forth below are selected historical and statistical data for the Dry Bulk Vessel Operations segment for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 that the Company believes may be useful in better understanding the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

During the three month period ended June 30, 2019, there were 834 fewer available days as compared to the same period during 2018 due to (i) a net decrease in available days of owned vessels by 432 days following the sale of three and four of the Company’s vessels in 2019 and 2018, respectively, partially mitigated by the acquisition of one vessel in the third quarter of 2018; and (ii) a decrease in long-term charter-in fleet available days by 402 days.

The average TCE rate for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 was $10,500 per day, which was 10.9% or $1,291 per day lower than the rate achieved in the same period during 2018. This was primarily due to the decrease in net available days of the fleet as well as the decline in the freight and time charter market.

13

Revenue: Revenue from Dry Bulk Vessel Operations for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 was $52.9 million, as compared to $72.0 million for the same period during 2018. The decrease in dry bulk revenue was mainly attributable to the decrease in the TCE per day by 10.9% to $10,500 per day in the second quarter of 2019, as compared to $11,791 per day in the same period of 2018.

Revenue from the Logistics Business was $60.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to $60.1 million for the same period in 2018. The increase was mainly attributable to (i) a $4.5 million increase in revenue from the barge business mainly due to higher volumes of liquid cargo transported, (ii) a $2.9 million increase in revenue from the cabotage business mainly due to an increase in operating days of the cabotage fleet; and (iii) a $0.3 million increase in revenue from the port terminal business mainly due to an increase in the iron ore port terminal revenues. The overall increase was partially offset by a $7.2 million decrease in sales of products mainly due to a decrease in the Paraguayan liquid port’s volumes of products sold.

Revenue from the Containers Business for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 was $33.7 million and consisted of time charter revenues.

Administrative Service fee from Affiliates: Administrative fee revenue from affiliates decreased by $0.8 million, or 11.3%, to $6.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2018. See the general and administrative expenses discussion below.

Time Charter, Voyage and Logistics Business Expenses: Time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses decreased by $8.8 million, or 16.3%, to $45.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $53.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2018.

Time charter and voyage expenses from Dry Bulk Vessel Operations decreased by $6.2 million, or 17.1%, to $30.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $36.2 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2018. This was primarily due to (i) a decrease in charter-in and other voyage expenses by $3.7 million; (ii) a decrease in port expenses by $1.6 million; and (iii) a decrease in off hire and fuel expenses by $0.9 million.

Of the total expenses for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $13.9 million and $17.7 million, respectively, were related to Navios Logistics. The decrease of $3.9 million in time charter, voyage and Logistics Business expenses related to Navios Logistics was mainly due to (i) a decrease in cost of products sold mainly attributable to a decrease in the Paraguayan liquid port terminal’s volumes of products sold; and (ii) a decrease in time charter and voyage expenses of the cabotage business. This decrease was partially mitigated by (i) an increase in time charter and voyage expenses of the barge business mainly due to higher volumes of liquid and dry cargo transshipped; and (ii) an increase in time charter and voyage expenses of the port terminal business mainly due to higher volumes transshipped in the grain and iron ore port terminal.

Time charter and voyage expenses from the Containers Business for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 was $1.3 million.

Direct Vessel Expenses: Direct vessel expenses increased by $18.1 million, or 73.9%, to $42.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $24.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2018. Direct vessel expenses include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oils, insurance premiums and costs for maintenance and repairs.

Direct vessel expenses from Dry Bulk Operations increased by $1.2 million, or 12.1%, to $11.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $9.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2018. This increase was mainly attributable to (i) an increase in crew costs; (ii) an increase in spare expenses and (iii) the acquisition of one vessel in the third quarter of 2018. This overall increase was partially mitigated by (i) the sale of three and four of the Company’s vessels in 2019 and 2018, respectively; and (ii) a decrease in sundry general expenses.

Of the total amounts for the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $14.7 million and $14.6 million, respectively, were related to Navios Logistics. The increase of $0.1 million in direct vessel expenses related to Navios Logistics was mainly attributable to a $1.0 million increase in the cabotage business mainly due to increase in operating days. The overall increase was partially mitigated by a $0.9 million decrease in the barge business mainly attributable to decreased crew costs.

Direct vessel expenses from the Containers Business for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 was $16.8 million, of which $16.4 million represent management fees which have been eliminated upon consolidation.

14

General and Administrative Expenses Incurred on Behalf of Affiliates: General and administrative expenses incurred on behalf of affiliates decreased by $0.8 million, or 11.3%, to $6.3 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $7.1 million for the same period in 2018. See the general and administrative expenses discussion below.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses of Navios Holdings are comprised of the following:

The increase in general and administrative expenses by $2.1 million, or 25.3%, to $10.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared 8.3 million the three month period ended June 30, 2018, was mainly attributable to (i) $2.6 million general and administrative expenses of the Containers Business ($2.0 million represent general and administrative fess which have been eliminated upon consolidation); and (ii) a $0.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses in the Logistics Business, partially mitigated by a $0.9 million decrease in general and administrative expenses from Dry Bulk Vessel Operations.

Depreciation and Amortization: For the three month period ended June 30, 2019, depreciation and amortization increased by $4.8 million to $29.3 million as compared to $24.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2018.

Depreciation expenses related to Dry Bulk Vessel Operations decreased by $3.9 million, or 23.4%, to $12.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $16.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2018. This decrease was primarily due to (i) the sale of three and four of the Company’s vessels in 2019 and 2018, respectively; and (ii) the impairment loss recognized in the fourth quarter of 2018 for four of the Company’s vessels; partially mitigated by the acquisition of one vessel in the third quarter of 2018. Amortization expenses related to dry bulk operations remained stable at $0.7 million for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

Of the total amount of depreciation and amortization for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, $7.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively, related to Navios Logistics. The increase of $0.1 million in depreciation and amortization of the Logistics Business was mainly due to a $0.2 million increase in the cabotage business, partially mitigated by a $0.1 million decrease in the barge business.

Depreciation and amortization expenses related to the Containers Business for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 was $8.5 million.

Main uses of funds have been capital expenditures for the acquisition of new vessels, new construction and upgrades at the port terminals, expenditures incurred in connection with ensuring that the owned vessels comply with international and regulatory standards, repayments and/or prepayments of debt and payments of dividends. Navios Holdings may from time to time, subject to restrictions under its debt and equity instruments, including limitations on dividends and repurchases under its preferred stock, depending upon market conditions and financing needs, use funds to refinance or repurchase its debt and/or equity in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms Navios Holdings deems appropriate and subject to Navios Holdings cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under Navios Holdings’ debt agreements and equity instruments, and other factors management deems relevant. Generally, Navios Holding’s sources of funds may be from cash from operations, long-term borrowings and other debt or equity financings, proceeds from asset sales and proceeds from sale of its stake in its investments. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure adequate financing or obtain additional funds on favorable terms, to meet our liquidity needs as our ability to secure adequate financing and obtain additional funds is partially dependent on market and industry factors.

Cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 as compared to cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2018:

Cash used in financing activities was $26.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2019, as compared to $19.5 million cash used in financing activities for the same period in 2018.

Cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 for the Dry Bulk Vessel Operations was the result of (i) $33.7 million of payments made in connection with the Company’s outstanding indebtedness; (ii) $10.0 million payments relating to the redemption of preferred stock; (iii) $7.0 million payments for the repurchase of senior notes; and (iv) $4.0 million proceeds from long-term loans.

Cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 for the Logistics Business was the result of (i) $17.6 million in payments for the acquisition of 2022 Notes (as defined herein); and (ii) $7.6 million of payments made in connection with the Navios Logistics’ outstanding indebtedness.

Cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 for the Containers Business was the result of (i) $77.9 million of payments made in connection with Navios Containers’ outstanding indebtedness; (ii) $1.9 million of Navios Containers’ debt issuance costs; and (iii) $125.0 million of new loan proceeds to refinance Navios Containers’ existing credit facility relating to one containership.

Cash used in financing activities for the six month period ended June 30, 2018 was the result of (i) $14.2 million of payments performed in connection with the Company’s outstanding indebtedness; (ii) $3.1 million of payments performed in connection with the Navios Logistics’ outstanding indebtedness; (iii) $2.1 million in payments for the repayment of Navios Logistics’ Notes Payable’ and (iv) a $0.1 million payment of finance fees.

Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA represents net (loss)/ income attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization and before income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before stock based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as liquidity measure and reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. Adjusted 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 finance charges and gains/(losses) on bond and debt extinguishment, (v) (provision)/recovery for losses on accounts receivable, (vi) equity in affiliates, net of dividends received, (vii) payments for drydock and special survey costs, (viii) noncontrolling interest, (ix) gain/ (loss) on sale of assets/ subsidiaries, (x) unrealized (loss)/gain on derivatives, and (xi) loss on sale and reclassification to earnings of available-for-sale securities and impairment charges. Navios Holdings believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and represents useful information to investors regarding Navios Holdings’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and pay dividends. Navios Holdings also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is used (i) by prospective and current 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.

Adjusted 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) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) Adjusted 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. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, among others, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Holdings’ performance. Furthermore, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

23

Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended June 30, 2019 was $30.8 million as compared to $36.6 million for the same period of 2018. The $5.8 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to (i) a $18.6 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs), (ii) a $13.5 million increase in OTTI loss, (iii) a $11.7 million increase in impairment losses on sale of vessels, net, (iv) a $2.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation expenses), and (v) a $0.3 million increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies. This overall decrease by $46.5 million was partially mitigated by (i) a $15.1 million increase in revenue, (ii) a $10.3 million increase in other income, net, (iii) a $8.8 million decrease in time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses; (iv) a $5.7 million increase in gain on bond extinguishment, and (v) a $0.8 million decrease in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest.

Adjusted EBITDA for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 was $93.8 million as compared to $58.0 million for the same period in 2018. The $35.8 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to (i) a $38.6 million increase in revenue; (ii) a $21.4 million increase in gain on debt extinguishment, (iii) a $20.6 million increase in other income, net, (iv) a $10.7 million decrease in time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses; and (v) a $10.5 million increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies. This overall increase of $91.3 million was partially offset by (i) a $34.7 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs), (ii) a $10.5 million increase in impairment losses on sale of vessels, net, (iii) a $6.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation expenses), (iv) a $3.0 million increase in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; and (v) a $1.2 million decrease in net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest.

Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements

Secured Credit Facilities

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had secured credit facilities with various banks with a total outstanding balance of $134.1 million. The purpose of the facilities was to finance the construction or acquisition of vessels or refinance existing indebtedness. All of the facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and bear interest based on LIBOR plus spread ranging from 2.75% to 3.60% per annum. The facilities are repayable in either semi-annual or quarterly installments, followed by balloon payments with maturities, ranging from June 2021 to November 2022. See also the maturity table included below.

The facilities are secured by first priority mortgages on certain of Navios Holdings’ vessels and other collateral.

The credit facilities contain a number of restrictive covenants that limit Navios Holdings and/or certain of its subsidiaries from, among other things: incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness; entering into affiliate transactions; charging, pledging or encumbering the vessels securing such facilities; changing the flag, class, management or ownership of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; changing the commercial and technical management of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; selling or changing the ownership of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; and subordinating the obligations under the credit facilities to any general and administrative costs relating to the vessels. The credit facilities also require the vessels to comply with the ISM Code and ISPS Code and to maintain valid safety management certificates and documents of compliance at all times. Additionally, the credit facilities require compliance with the covenants contained in the indentures governing the 2022 Senior Secured Notes (as defined herein), the 2022 Notes (as defined herein) and the 2024 Notes (as defined herein). Among other events, it will be an event of default under the credit facilities if the financial covenants are not complied with or if Angeliki Frangou and her affiliates, together, own less than 20% of the outstanding share capital of Navios Holdings.

The majority of the Company’s senior secured credit facilities require compliance with maintenance covenants, including (i) value-to-loan ratio covenants, based on charter-free valuations, ranging from over 120% to 135%, (ii) minimum liquidity up to a maximum of $30.0 million, and (iii) net total debt divided by total assets, as defined in each senior secured credit facility, ranging from a maximum of 75% to 80%. Certain covenants in our senior secured credit facilities have been amended for a specific period to increase the covenant levels for the applicable net total debt divided by total assets maintenance covenants, as defined in each senior secured credit facility, to a maximum of 85%.

As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under each of its credit facilities.

On August 28, 2019, Navios Holdings took delivery of Navios Herakles I. Navios Uranus is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2019.

As of June 30, 2019, the total amount of $6.1 million, including expenses and interest, is presented under the caption “Other long-term assets”.

Navios Logistics

On November 12, 2018, Navios Logistics acquired approximately 3.5 hectares of undeveloped land located in the Port Murtinho region, Brazil. Navios Logistics plans to develop this land for its port operations. As of June 30, 2019, Navios Logistics had paid $1.2 million for the land acquisition.

29

Dividend Policy

In November 2015, due to the prolonged weakness in the dry bulk industry, Navios Holdings announced that the Board of Directors decided to suspend the quarterly dividend to its common stockholders in order to conserve cash and improve its liquidity. In February 2016, in furtherance of its efforts to reduce its cash requirements, Navios Holdings announced the suspension of payment of quarterly dividends on its preferred stock, including the Series G and Series H, until market conditions improve. The Board of Directors and Navios Holdings’ management believe such a decision is in the best long-term interests of the Company and its stakeholders. The reinstatement, declaration and payment of any further dividend remains subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, market conditions, Navios Holdings’ cash requirements after taking into account market opportunities, restrictions under its equity instruments, credit agreements, indentures and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem advisable.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable

Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable is limited due to the fact that Navios Holdings’ customers are internationally dispersed and have a variety of end markets in which they sell, therefore, management believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is inherent in Navios Holdings’ trade receivables. For the six month period ended June 30, 2019, two customers accounted for 14.0% and 10.5%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue. The customer who accounted for 14.0% of the Company’s revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 is the same with the customer accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2018.

If one or more of our customers does not perform under one or more contracts with us and we are not able to find a replacement contract, or if a customer exercises certain rights to terminate the contract, we could suffer a loss of revenues that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We could lose a customer or the benefits of a contract if, among other things:

Cash deposits with financial institutions

Cash deposits in excess of amounts covered by government-provided insurance are exposed to loss in the event of non-performance by financial institutions. Navios Holdings does maintain cash deposits in excess of government-provided insurance limits. Navios Holdings also reduces exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Effects of Inflation

Navios Holdings does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to the cost of doing business in the foreseeable future. Inflation has a moderate impact on operating expenses, drydocking expenses and corporate overhead.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, Navios Holdings was contingently liable for letters of guarantee and letters of credit amounting to $1.6 million issued by various banks in favor of various organizations and the total amount was collateralized by cash deposits, which were included as a component of restricted cash.

The Company is involved in various disputes and arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Provisions have been recognized in the financial statements for all such proceedings where the Company believes that a liability may be probable, and for which the amounts can be reasonably estimated, based upon facts known on the date the financial statements were prepared. Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolutions of these matters, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On July 22, 2016, Navios Logistics guaranteed the compliance of certain obligations related to Edolmix S.A. and Energías Renovables del Sur S.A. (entities wholly owned by Navios Logistics) under their respective direct user agreements with the Free Zone of Nueva Palmira, for the amounts of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

On August 16, 2018, there was a fire incident at the iron ore port terminal in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay for which Navios Logistics maintains property and loss of earnings insurance coverage for such types of events (subject to applicable deductibles and other customary limitations). As of June 30, 2019, an insurance claim receivable of $3.0 million was recorded in Navios Logistics prepaid expenses and other current assets. As of September 12, 2019 the full amount has been collected in relation to this insurance claim.

Navios Logistics has issued a guarantee and indemnity letter that guarantees the performance by Petrolera San Antonio S.A. (a consolidated subsidiary of Navios Logistics) of all its obligations to Vitol S.A. up to $12.0 million. This guarantee expires on March 1, 2020.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Navios Holdings is exposed to certain risks related to interest rate, foreign currency and charter rate risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Debt Instruments — On June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, Navios Holdings had a total of $1,815.9 million and $1,843.9 million, respectively, of long-term indebtedness. All of the Company’s debt is U.S. dollar-denominated and bears interest at a floating rate, except for the 2022 Senior Secured Notes, the 2022 Notes, the 2022 Logistics Senior Notes, two Navios Logistics’ loans and the Navios Containers’ seller’s credit discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” that bear interest at a fixed rate.

Changes in interest rates for our floating-rate loan facilities would affect their interest rate and related interest expense. As of June 30, 2019, the outstanding amount of the Company’s floating rate loan facilities was $540.1 million. The interest rate on the 2022 Senior Secured Notes, the 2022 Notes, the 2024 Notes, the 2022 Logistics Senior Notes, the two Navios Logistics’ loans and the Navios Containers’ seller’s credit is fixed and, therefore, changes in interest rates affect their fair value, which as of June 30, 2019 was $996.0 million, but do not affect their related interest expense. A change in the LIBOR rate of 100 basis points would change interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2019 by $2.7 million.

For a detailed discussion of Navios Holdings’ debt instruments refer to the section “Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements” included elsewhere in this document.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign Currency: In general, the shipping industry is a U.S. dollar dominated industry. Revenue is set mainly in U.S. dollars, and approximately 61.9% of Navios Holdings’ expenses are also incurred in U.S. dollars. Certain of our expenses are paid in foreign currencies and a one percent change in the exchange rates of the various currencies at June 30, 2019 would change net income by approximately $0.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2019.

Critical Accounting Policies

Navios Holdings’ interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Navios Holdings to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. All significant accounting policies are as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Investments in Equity Securities

Navios Holdings evaluates its investments in Navios Acquisition, Navios Partners, Navios Europe I and Navios Europe II for OTTI on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of such companies, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in these companies for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. As of June 30, 2019, management considered the decline in market value of its investment in Navios Acquisition to be other-than-temporary and therefore recognized a loss of $13.5 million in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss)/income (see also Note 13 included elsewhere in this Report).
