Three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Time charter and voyage revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 increased by $1.0 million, or 1.6%, to $63.5 million, as compared to $62.6 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in time charter and voyage revenues was mainly attributable to the increase in the time charter equivalent rate, or TCE rate, to $18,778 per day for the three month period ended September 30, 2019, from $17,606 per day for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 and the delivery of the Navios Libra in July 2019. That increase was partially mitigated by the decrease in revenue due to the sale of the Navios Felicity and the Navios Libra II in December 2018 and the Navios Galaxy I in April 2019. The available days of the fleet decreased to 3,240 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 3,428 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, mainly due to the decrease of the size of the fleet.

EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $5.3 million impairment loss on the sale of the Navios Felicity; and (ii) $0.6 million equity compensation expense. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.7 million to $41.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $42.0 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $0.5 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (ii) $1.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses; (iii) $0.6 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies and (iv) $0.1 million decrease in other income. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $1.0 million increase in revenue; and (ii) $0.5 million decrease in management fees.

The reserves for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $7.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively (please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Exhibit 3).

Navios Partners generated an operating surplus for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 of $25.7 million, as compared to $25.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2018. 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 month period ended September 30, 2019 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $1.4 million write-off of deferred finance fees and discount related to prepayments of the Term Loan B Facility in the third quarter of 2019. Net Income of Navios Partners for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $5.3 million impairment loss on the sale of the Navios Felicity; and (ii) $0.6 million equity compensation expense. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income for the three month period ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $18.3 million compared to $16.3 million income for the three month period ended September 30, 2018. The increase in Adjusted Net Income of $1.9 million was due to a: (i) $1.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) $0.7 million increase in interest income and (iii) a $0.7 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) 0.7 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA; and (ii) $0.2 million increase in direct vessel expenses.

Nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018

Time charter and voyage revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 decreased by $15.7 million, or 9.0%, to $158.1 million, as compared to $173.8 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in time charter and voyage revenues was mainly attributable to: (i) the decrease in revenue due to the sales of the YM Unity and the YM Utmost in July 2018, the Navios Felicity and the Navios Libra II in December 2018 and the Navios Galaxy I in April 2019; and (ii) the decrease in the TCE rate, to $15,369 per day for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, from $16,745 per day for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. That decrease was partially mitigated by the increase in revenue following the acquisition of the Navios Mars and the Navios Sphera in August 2018, the Navios Apollon I, the Navios Prosperity I and the Navios Libertas in June 2018 and the delivery of the Navios Libra in July 2019. The available days of the fleet decreased to 9,720 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to 9,980 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.

EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $7.3 million impairment loss on the sale of the Navios Galaxy I; and (ii) $3.6 million revision of the estimated guarantee claim receivable. EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $37.9 million impairment loss on the sale of the YM Unity and the YM Utmost; (ii) $5.3 million impairment loss on the sale of the Navios Felicity; and (iii) $1.9 million equity compensation expense. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $21.8 million to $86.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019, as compared to $108.2 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $15.7 million decrease in revenue; (ii) $2.0 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (iii) $3.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses; (iv) $3.1 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; and (v) $0.2 million decrease in other income. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $1.5 million decrease in management fees; and (ii) $1.4 million decrease in other expenses.

The reserves for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were $21.9 million and $19.8 million, respectively (please see “Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” in Exhibit 3).

Navios Partners generated an operating surplus for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 of $37.6 million, as compared to $63.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2019 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $7.3 million impairment loss on the sale of the Navios Galaxy I; (ii) $3.6 million revision of the estimated guarantee claim receivable; and (iii) $2.9 million write-off of deferred finance fees and discount related to prepayments of the Term Loan B Facility in the nine month period ended September 30, 2019. Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $37.9 million impairment loss on the sale of the YM Unity and the YM Utmost; (ii) $5.3 million impairment loss on the sale of the Navios Felicity; (iii) $1.9 million equity compensation expense; and (iv) $0.2 million write-off of deferred finance fees. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income / Loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2019 amounted to $14.7 million compared to $31.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income of $16.9 million was due to a: (i) $21.8 million decrease in adjusted EBITDA; (ii) $1.1 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net and (iii) $0.1 million increase in direct vessel expenses. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $3.9 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense; and (ii) $2.3 million increase in interest income.

Fleet Employment Profile

The following table reflects certain key indicators of Navios Partners’ core fleet performance for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

(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 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, 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 on various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

EXHIBIT 3

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

1. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income/ (loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization (including intangible accelerated amortization) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before vessel impairment losses and revision of the estimated guarantee claim receivable. Navios Partners uses Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconcile 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 (decrease)/ increase in operating liabilities; (iii) net interest cost; (iv) amortization and write-off of deferred financing cost; (v) equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) non-cash accrued interest income and amortization of deferred revenue; (viii) equity compensation expense and; (ix) non-cash accrued interest income from receivable from affiliates. 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, estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures and one-off items. 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.
