Recent Developments

Acquisition of Vessels

In April 2022, Navios Partners agreed to purchase four 115,000 dwt Aframax/LR2 newbuilding vessels for a purchase price of $58.5 million each (plus $4.2 million in additional features). The vessels have been designed with the latest technology to optimize efficiency. They are expected to be delivered into Navios Partners’ fleet during 2024 and the first quarter of 2025. The closing of the transaction is subject to completion of customary documentation.

Credit Facilities

On May 9, 2022, Navios Partners entered into a new credit facility with a commercial bank for a total amount of up to $25.2 million in order to refinance existing indebtedness and for working capital purposes. The credit facility matures in the second quarter of 2027 and bears interest at Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus credit adjustment spread plus 250 bps per annum. On May 11, 2022, the entire amount was drawn under this credit facility.

Overview

We are an international owner and operator of dry cargo and tanker vessels, formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Olympos Maritime Ltd. is our general partner (the “General Partner”).

As of May 18, 2022, there were 30,197,087 outstanding common units and 622,555 general partnership units. Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) currently owns an approximately 10.3% ownership interest in Navios Partners and the General Partner currently owns an approximately 2.0% ownership interest in Navios Partners based on all outstanding common units and general partner units.

Fleet

Navios Partners’ fleet consists of 54 Dry bulk vessels, 47 Containerships and 49 Tanker vessels, including three newbuilding Capesize bareboat charter-in vessels expected to be delivered by the second half of 2022, two newbuilding Capesize bareboat charter-in vessels expected to be delivered by the first half of 2023, two newbuilding Panamax vessels expected to be delivered by the second half of 2022 and first half of 2023, one newbuilding VLCC bareboat charter-in vessel expected to be delivered by the second half of 2022, four newbuilding Aframax/LR2 vessels expected to be delivered in 2024 and first half of 2025, ten newbuilding Containerships expected to be delivered by the second half of 2023 and in 2024 and two Containerships agreed to be sold and expected to be delivered in the second half of 2022.

We generate revenues by charging our customers for the use of our vessels to transport their dry cargo commodities, containers, crude oil, refined petroleum products and/or bulk liquid chemicals. From time to time, we operate vessels in the spot market until the vessels have been chartered out under short-term, medium and long-term charters.

Our Charters

We provide seaborne shipping services under short, medium, and long-term time charters with customers that we believe are creditworthy. For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, Cosco represented approximately 10.6% of total revenues. For the three month period ended March 31, 2021, Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. (“HMM”), Singapore Marine Pte Ltd. (“Singapore Marine”), and Cargill International S.A. (“Cargill”), represented approximately 21.5%, 19.4% and 12.2%, respectively, of total revenues. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for any of the periods presented.

Our revenues are driven by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which vessels operate and our charter hire rates, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

 

   

the duration of the charters;

 

   

the level of spot and long-term market rates at the time of charters;

 

   

decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

 

   

the amount of time spent positioning vessels;

 

   

the amount of time that vessels spend in dry dock undergoing repairs and upgrades;

 

   

the age, condition and specifications of the vessels

 

   

the aggregate level of supply and demand in the shipping industry.

 

   

armed conflicts, such as the Russian/Ukrainian conflicts; and.

 

   

the ongoing global outbreak of COVID-19 or other epidemics or pandemics.

Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to long-term which may be many years. 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. We intend to operate our vessels in the long-term charter market. Vessel charter rates are affected by world economics, international events, weather conditions, strikes, governmental policies, supply and demand and many other factors that might be beyond our control. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

We could lose a customer or the benefits of a charter if:

 

   

the customer fails to make charter payments because of its financial inability, disagreements with us or otherwise;

 

   

the customer exercises certain rights to terminate the charter of the vessel;

the customer terminates the charter because we fail to deliver the vessel within a fixed period of time, the vessel is lost or damaged beyond repair, there are serious deficiencies in the vessel or prolonged periods of off-hire, or we default under the charter; or

 

   

a prolonged force majeure event affecting the customer, including damage to or destruction of relevant production facilities, war or political unrest prevents us from performing services for that customer.

Under some of our time charters, either party may terminate the charter contract in the event of war in specified countries or in locations that would significantly disrupt the free trade of the vessel. Some of the time charters covering our vessels require us to return to the charterer, upon the loss of the vessel, all advances paid by the charterer but not earned by us.

Trends and Factors Affecting Our Future Results of Operations

We believe the principal factors that will affect our 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 our vessels engage in business. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

(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 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 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)

Time Charter Equivalent rate per day (“TCE”) is defined as voyage, time charter revenues and bareboat charter-out revenues (grossed up by currently applicable fixed vessel operating expenses) 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.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Upon completion of the merger (“NMCI Merger”) with Navios Maritime Containers L.P. (“Navios Containers”) and the merger with Navios Acquisition (“NNA Merger”), the results of operations of Navios Containers and Navios Acquisition are included in Navios Partners’ condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Period over Period Comparisons

For the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2022 compared to the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2021

Time charter and voyage revenues: Time charter and voyage revenues of Navios Partners for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 increased by approximately $171.5 million, or 263.4%, to $236.6 million, as compared to $65.1 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the size of our fleet and to the increase in TCE rate. For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, despite the fact that time charter and voyage revenues was negatively affected by $4.8 million related to the straight line effect of the containerships charters with de-escalating rates, TCE rate increased by 37.4% to $20,386 per day, as compared to $14,836 per day for the same period in 2021. The available days of the fleet increased by 164.1% to 11,228 days for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, as compared to 4,252 for the same period in 2021 mainly due to the NMCI Merger and the NNA Merger.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 increased by approximately $14.6 million to $17.1 million, as compared to $2.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 mainly due to the increase in the size of our fleet. The increase was mainly attributable to a: (i) $7.1 million increase in bareboat charter-in hire expense due to the delivery of two bareboat-in vessel during the second quarter of 2021 and the NNA Merger; (ii) $2.5 million increase in bunkers expenses; (iii) $2.3 million increase in brokers’ commissions; (iv) $2.0 million net increase in other voyage expenses; and (v) $0.7 million increase in port expenses related to the freight voyages.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 increased by $8.0 million, to $11.2 million, as compared to $3.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase of $8.0 million was mainly attributable to the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs due to the increase in the size of our fleet, and crew related expenses as a result of COVID-19 measures pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreements, as defined herein.

Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, increased by approximately $50.2 million, or 218.3%, to $73.2 million, as compared to $23.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the size of our fleet.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $9.0 million to $13.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $4.9 million for the three month period ended March 31 , 2021. The increase was mainly due to a: (i) $6.5 million increase in administrative fees paid to the Navios Shipmanagement Inc., (the “Manager”) and Navios Tankers Management Inc. (“Tankers Manager” and together with the Manager, the “Managers”) due to the increased number of owned and chartered-in vessels in Navios Partners’ fleet; and (ii) $2.6 million increase in legal and professional fees, as well as audit fees and other administrative expenses. The above increase was partially mitigated by an approximately $0.1 million decrease in stock-based compensation expenses.

Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets: Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets amounted to $42.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $13.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase of approximately $29.8 million was mainly attributable to: (i) a $19.6 million increase due to the delivery of the fleet of Navios Acquisition in Navios Partners’ owned fleet; (ii) an $8.1 million increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of the fleet of Navios Containers in Navios Partners’ owned fleet; (iii) a $2.4 million increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of nine vessels in 2021; and (iv) a $0.2 million increase in depreciation expense due to vessel additions. The above increase was partially mitigated by a $0.5 million decrease due to the sale of eight vessels in 2021.

Amortization of unfavorable lease terms: Amortization of unfavorable lease terms amounted to $21.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, that related to the fair value of the time charters with unfavorable lease terms as determined at the acquisition date of Navios Containers and at the date of obtaining control of Navios Acquisition. There was no amortization of unfavorable lease terms for the corresponding interim period of the previous year.

Loss on sale of vessels: There was no loss on sale of vessels for the three month period ended March 31, 2022. Loss on sale of vessels amounted to $0.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, relating to a loss on sale of the Joie N that amounted to $1.4 million which was partially mitigated by a gain on sale of the Esperanza N and the Solar N that amounted to $0.9 million.

Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net, for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 increased by approximately $7.4 million or 127.6% to $13.2 million, as compared to $5.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. The increase was mainly due to the interest and finance costs of Navios Containers’ credit facilities and financial liabilities recognized following the completion of the NMCI Merger on March 31, 2021, the interest and finance costs of Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities and financial liabilities recognized following the NNA Merger.

Interest income: Interest income amounted to $0.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021.

Other expense, net: Other expense, net for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $1.3 million, as compared to $0.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, mainly due to the increase in other miscellaneous expenses.

Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies: There was no equity in net earnings of affiliated companies for the three month period ended March 31, 2022. Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $80.8 million. The amount of $80.8 million is the gain from equity in net earnings resulting from remeasurement of existing interest held in Navios Containers upon the NMCI Merger. As of March 31, 2021, Navios Partners’ previously held interest of 35.7% in Navios Containers was remeasured to a fair value of $107.0 million, resulting in revaluation gain of $75.4 million which along with the equity gain of approximately $5.4 million from the operations of Navios Containers, up to the closing date, aggregate to a gain on acquisition of control in the amount of $80.8 million.

Bargain gain: There was no bargain gain for the three month period ended March 31, 2022. Bargain gain amounted to $44.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, resulting from the excess Navios Containers’ fair value of the identifiable assets acquired of $342.7 million over the total purchase price consideration of $298.6 million.

Net income: Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 amounted to $85.7 million as compared to $136.7 million net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. The decrease of $51.0 million was due to the factors discussed above.

Operating surplus: Navios Partners generated Operating Surplus for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 of $55.8 million, as compared to $12.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. 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 (See “Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Cash from Operating Activities, EBITDA and Operating Surplus” contained herein).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In addition to distributions on our units, our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements, cash reserve requirements including those under our credit facilities and debt service, while our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and investment capital expenditures and other maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from our equity offerings, operations, proceeds from asset sales, long-term bank borrowings and other debt raisings. As of March 31, 2022, Navios Partners’ current assets totaled $208.6 million, while current liabilities totaled $325.8 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $117.2 million. Navios Partners’ cash forecast indicates that it will generate sufficient cash through its contracted revenue of $2.8 billion as of May 16, 2022 and cash proceeds from sale of vessels (see Note 5 – Vessels, net to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report) to make the required principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, provide for the normal working capital requirements of the business for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Generally, our long-term sources of funds derive from cash from operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings to fund acquisitions and expansion and investment capital expenditures, including opportunities we may pursue under the Omnibus Agreement, as defined herein. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure adequate financing or to obtain additional funds on favorable terms, to meet our liquidity needs.

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

Navios Partners may use funds to repurchase its outstanding common units and/or indebtedness from time to time. Repurchases may be made in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms Navios Partners deems appropriate and subject to its cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under Navios Partners’ credit facilities, and other factors management deems relevant.

Long-Term Debt Obligations

Navios Partners’ long-term borrowings are presented under the captions “Long-term financial liabilities, net”, “Long-term debt, net”, “Current portion of financial liabilities, net” and “Current portion of long-term debt, net”. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, total borrowings, net of deferred finance costs amounted to $1,319.8 million and $1,361.7 million, respectively. The current portion of long-term borrowings, net amounted to $245.2 million at March 31, 2022 and $255.1 million at December 31, 2021.

Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had secured credit facilities with various banks with a total outstanding balance of $801.7 million. The purpose of the facilities was to finance the acquisition of vessels or refinance existing indebtedness. All of the facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and bear interest rate (as defined in the loan agreement) plus spread ranging from 225 bps to 350 bps, per annum. The facilities are repayable in either semi-annual or quarterly installments, followed by balloon payments with maturities, ranging from the first quarter of 2023 to the first quarter of 2027.

ABN Amro Bank N.V.: On March 28, 2022, Navios Partners entered into a new credit facility with ABN Amro Bank N.V. of up to $55.0 million in order to refinance the existing indebtedness of three of its vessels and for general corporate purposes. On March 31, 2022, the full amount was drawn. As of March 31, 2022, the total outstanding balance was $55.0 million and is repayable in 20 consecutive quarterly installments of $1.7 million each together with a final balloon payment of $21.0 million to be paid on the last repayment date. The facility matures in the first quarter of 2027 and bears interest at daily cumulative or non-cumulative compounded RFR rate (as defined in the loan agreement) plus 225 bps per annum.

Amounts drawn under the credit facilities are secured by first preferred mortgages on certain Navios Partners’ vessels and other collateral and are guaranteed by the respective vessel-owning subsidiaries.

Cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2021

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $11.0 million to $5.2 million of cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $16.2 million of cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2021. In determining net cash provided by operating activities, net income is adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items as discussed below.

The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities was a $33.5 million non-cash positive net adjustments for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, which consisted mainly of the following adjustments: (i) $42.9 million depreciation and amortization of intangible assets; (ii) $6.2 million amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs; (iii) $5.1 million non-cash amortization of deferred revenue and straight line; and (iv) $1.3 million amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs and discount. These adjustments were partially mitigated by: (i) $21.8 million amortization of unfavorable lease terms; and (ii) $0.2 million amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities.

The net cash outflow resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $114.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 resulted from a $64.2 million decrease in amounts due to related parties, an $18.5 million increase in amounts due from related parties, a $15.4 increase in accounts receivable, a $10.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, $ 9.4 million in payments for dry dock and special survey costs, and a $4.8 million decrease in deferred revenue. This was partially mitigated by a $4.9 million increase in accrued expenses and a $3.9 million increase in accounts payable.

The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $106.9 million non-cash negative adjustments for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, which consisted mainly of the following adjustments: $13.1 million depreciation and amortization, $0.3 million amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities, $0.1 million equity compensation expense, $0.5 million loss on sale of vessels, $1.3 million amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs and discount, $3.1 million amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs, $80.8 million equity in net earnings of affiliated companies, $44.1 million bargain gain from merger with Navios Containers and $0.4 million non-cash amortization of deferred revenue and straight line.

The net cash outflow resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $13.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 resulted from a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable, a $4.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.4 million decrease in accrued expenses, an $11.8 million in payments for dry dock and special survey costs and a $0.3 million decrease in operating lease liabilities short and long term. This was partially mitigated by a $1.4 million increase in accounts payable and a $2.7 million increase in deferred revenue.

(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization (including intangible accelerated amortization) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before equity in net earnings of affiliated companies and bargain gain. Navios Partners uses Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconciles 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 (increase)/ decrease 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) non-cash amortization of deferred revenue and straight line; (vii) stock-based compensation expense; (viii) amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities; (ix) loss on sale of assets and (x) bargain gain. 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.

Each of 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.

EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 was affected by the accounting effect of: (i) a $44.1 million bargain gain; and (ii) an $80.8 million gain from equity in net earnings of affiliated companies resulting from remeasurment of existing interest held in Navios Container. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $92.4 million to $126.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2022, as compared to $33.7 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $171.5 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; and (ii) $0.5 million decrease in loss on sale of vessels. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $50.2 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) $14.6 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (iii) $9.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (iv) $4.9 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items); and (v) $0.9 million increase in other expense, net.

(2) Operating Surplus

Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense, non-cash interest income, equity compensation 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 and is a non-GAAP measure. 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.

Capital Expenditures

Navios Partners finances its capital expenditures with cash flow from operations, equity raisings, long-term bank borrowings and other debt raisings. Capital expenditures for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $21.7 million and $37.3 million, respectively. The reserves for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were $59.0 million and $17.0 million, respectively.

Maintenance for our vessels and expenses related to drydocking expenses are reimbursed at cost by Navios Partners to our Managers under the Management Agreements (as defined herein).

Maintenance and Replacement Capital Expenditures Reserve

We estimate that our annual replacement reserve for the year ending December 31, 2022 will be approximately $236.2 million, for replacing our vessels at the end of their useful lives.

The amount for estimated replacement capital expenditures attributable to future vessel replacement was based on the following assumptions: (i) current market price to purchase a five year old vessel of similar size and specifications; (ii) a 25-year useful life for drybulk and tanker vessels and a 30-year useful life for containerships; and (iii) a relative net investment rate.

The amount for estimated maintenance capital expenditures attributable to future vessel drydocking and special survey was based on certain assumptions including the remaining useful life of the owned vessels of our fleet, market costs of drydocking and special survey and a relative net investment rate.

Table of Contents

Our Board of Directors, with the approval of the Conflicts Committee, may determine that one or more of our assumptions should be revised, which could cause our Board of Directors to increase or decrease the amount of estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. The actual cost of replacing the vessels in our fleet will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions, charter hire rates and the availability and cost of financing at the time of replacement. We may elect to finance some or all of our maintenance and replacement capital expenditures through the issuance of additional common units, which could be dilutive to existing unitholders.

Limitations on Cash Distributions and Our Ability to Change Our Cash Distribution Policy

There is no guarantee that unitholders will receive quarterly distributions from us.

Our distribution policy is subject to certain restrictions and may be changed at any time, including:

 

   

Our unitholders have no contractual or other legal right to receive distributions other than the obligation under our partnership agreement to distribute available cash on a quarterly basis, which is subject to the broad discretion of our board of directors to establish reserves and other limitations.

 

   

While our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our available cash, our partnership agreement, including provisions requiring us to make cash distributions contained therein, may be amended. Currently, our partnership agreement can be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding common units.

 

   

Even if our cash distribution policy is not modified or revoked, the amount of distributions we pay under our cash distribution policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by our board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement

 

   

Under Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act, we may not make a distribution to our unitholders if the distribution would cause our liabilities to exceed the fair value of our assets.

 

   

We may lack sufficient cash to pay distributions to our unitholders due to decreases in net revenues or increases in operating expenses, principal and interest payments on outstanding debt, tax expenses, working capital requirements, maintenance and replacement capital expenditures or anticipated cash needs.

 

   

Our distribution policy is affected by restrictions on distributions under our credit facilities or other debt instruments. Specifically, our credit facilities contain material financial tests that must be satisfied and we will not pay any distributions that will cause us to violate our credit facilities or other debt instruments. Should we be unable to satisfy these restrictions included in our credit facilities or if we are otherwise in default under our credit facilities, our ability to make cash distributions to unitholders, notwithstanding our cash distribution policy, would be materially adversely affected.

 

   

If we make distributions out of capital surplus, as opposed to operating surplus, such distributions will constitute a return of capital and will result in a reduction in the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels. We do not anticipate that we will make any distributions from capital surplus.

Our ability to make distributions to our unitholders depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us may be restricted by, among other things, the provisions of existing and future indebtedness, applicable partnership and limited liability company laws and other laws and regulations.

Quarterly Distribution

There is no guarantee that we will pay the quarterly distribution on the common units in any quarter. The amount of distributions paid under our policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by our board of directors, and will depend on, among other things, Navios Partners’ 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. We are prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would cause an event of default, or an event of default exists, under our existing credit facilities.

Quarterly distributions were paid by the Company through September 2015. For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s board of directors determined to suspend payment of the Company’s quarterly distributions in order to preserve cash and improve our liquidity. In March 2018, the Company’s board of directors announced a new distribution policy under which it paid quarterly cash distributions in the amount of $0.30 per unit, or $1.20 per unit annually. In July 2020, the Company amended its distribution policy under which it intends to pay quarterly cash distributions in the amount of $0.05 per unit, or $0.20 per unit annually.

In April 2022, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 of $0.05 per unit. The cash distribution was paid on May 12, 2022 to all unitholders of common units and general partner units of record as of May 9, 2022.

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 Partners’ 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.

Incentive Distribution Rights

The following description of our incentive distribution rights reflects such rights and the indicated levels are achieved, of which there can be no assurance. Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from Operating Surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. Navios GP L.L.C. currently holds the incentive distribution rights, but may transfer these rights, provided the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the partnership agreement. The holder of incentive distribution rights may transfer any or all of its Incentive Distribution Rights without unitholder approval.

Table of Contents

The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of the additional available cash from Operating Surplus among the unitholders, our general partner and the holder of our incentive distribution rights up to the various target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions” are the percentage interests of the unitholders in any available cash from Operating Surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount”, until available cash from Operating Surplus we distribute reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The percentage interests shown for the unitholders for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests shown for our general partner assume that our general partner maintains its 2.0% ownership interest.

Pursuant to the Partners Omnibus Agreement, Navios Partners generally agreed not to acquire or own Panamax or Capesize drybulk carriers under time charters of three or more years without the consent of an independent committee of Navios Partners. In addition, Navios Holdings has agreed to offer to Navios Partners the opportunity to purchase vessels from Navios Holdings when such vessels are fixed under time charters of three or more years.

Navios Partners entered into an omnibus agreement with Navios Acquisition and Navios Holdings (the “Acquisition Omnibus Agreement”) in connection with the closing of Navios Acquisition’s initial vessel acquisition, pursuant to which, among other things, Navios Holdings and Navios Partners agreed not to acquire, charter-in or own liquid shipment vessels, except for containerships and vessels that are primarily employed in operations in South America, without the consent of an independent committee of Navios Acquisition.

In August 2021, Navios Acquisition entered into a supplemental agreement (the “Supplemental Loan Agreement”) to amend the NSM Loan Agreement. The Supplemental Loan Agreement provided for: (i) the issuance of 8,823,529 newly-issued shares of common stock of Navios Acquisition in settlement of $30.0 million of the outstanding balance of the NSM Loan Agreement; and (ii) the repayment of $35.0 million of the outstanding balance of the NSM Loan Agreement in cash as of the date of the Supplemental Loan Agreement and the repayment in cash on January 7, 2022 of the remainder of the outstanding balance of the NSM Loan Agreement, of approximately $33.1 million.

Upon completion of the NNA Merger, the newly-issued shares of common stock of Navios Acquisition were converted into common units of Navios Partners on the same terms as is applicable to other outstanding shares of common stock of Navios Acquisition.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We engage in worldwide commerce with a variety of entities. Although our operations may expose us to certain levels of foreign currency risk, our transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized.

Interest Rate Risk

Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at a rate based on a premium over U.S. $ LIBOR or SOFR. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest rates rise. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 3.70% and 3.95%, respectively. An 1% increase in LIBOR or SOFR would have increased our interest expense for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 by $3.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable. We closely monitor our exposure to customers for credit risk. We have policies in place to ensure that we trade with customers with an appropriate credit history.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, Cosco, represented approximately 10.6% of total revenues. For the three month period ended March 31, 2021, HMM, Singapore Marine and Cargill, represented approximately 21.5%, 19.4% and 12.2%, respectively, of total revenues. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for any of the periods presented.

If we lose a charter, we may be unable to re-deploy the related vessel on terms as favorable to us due to the long-term nature of most charters and the cyclical nature of the industry or we may be forced to charter the vessel on the spot market at then market rates which may be less favorable than the charter that has been terminated. If we are unable to re-deploy a vessel for which the charter has been terminated, we will not receive any revenues from that vessel, but we may be required to pay expenses necessary to maintain the vessel in proper operating condition. If we lose a vessel, any replacement or newbuilding would not generate revenues during its construction acquisition period, and we may be unable to charter any replacement vessel on terms as favorable to us as those of the terminated charter.

Even if we successfully charter our vessels in the future, our charterers may go bankrupt or fail to perform their obligations under the charter agreements, they may delay payments or suspend payments altogether, they may terminate the charter agreements prior to the agreed-upon expiration date or they may attempt to renegotiate the terms of the charters. The permanent loss of a customer, time charter or vessel, or a decline in payments under our charters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make cash distributions in the event we are unable to replace such customer, time charter or vessel. For further details, please read “Risk Factors” in our 2021 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

NAVIOS MARITIME PARTNERS L.P.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit data)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners” or the “Company”), is an international owner and operator of dry cargo and tanker vessels, formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Currently, the Company’s general partner is Olympos Maritime Ltd. (the “General Partner”) (see Note 13 — Transactions with related parties and affiliates).

Navios Partners is engaged in the seaborne transportation services of a wide range of liquid and dry cargo commodities including crude oil, refined petroleum, chemicals, iron ore, coal, grain, fertilizer and also containers, chartering its vessels under short, medium and longer-term charters. The operations of Navios Partners are managed by Navios Shipmanagement Inc., (the “Manager”) and Navios Tankers Management Inc. (“Tankers Manager” and together with the Manager, the “Managers”) which are entities affiliated with the Company’s Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer (see Note 13 — Transactions with related parties and affiliates).

As of March 31, 2022, there were 30,197,087 outstanding common units and 622,555 general partnership units. As of March 31, 2022, Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) owned an approximately 10.3% ownership interest in Navios Partners and the General Partner owned an approximately 2.0% ownership interest in Navios Partners based on all outstanding common units and general partner units.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments for a fair statement of Navios Partners’ consolidated balance sheets, statement of partner’s capital, statements of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Partners’ Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed on Form 20-F on April 12, 2022 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in Company’s trading performance, management believes that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operation and meet its financial commitments, including but not limited to capital expenditures, cash from sale of vessels (see Note 5 – Vessels, net) and debt service obligations, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries have announced sanctions against Russia, and may impose wider sanctions and take other actions in the future. To date, no apparent consequences have been identified on the Company’s business. It should be noted that since the Company employs Ukrainian and Russian seafarers, it may face problems in relation to their employment, repatriation, salary payments and be subject to claims in this regard. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that these tensions might eventually have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

(b) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include Navios Partners’ wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Marshall Islands, Malta, Cayman Islands and Liberia from their dates of incorporation or from the date of acquiring control or, for chartered-in vessels, from the dates charter-in agreements were in effect. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in Navios Partners’ consolidated financial statements.

Navios Partners also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) as defined in the accounting guidance, if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. A VIE is defined as a legal entity where either (i) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, (ii) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (iii) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

Revenue and Expense Recognition:

Revenue from time chartering

Revenues from time chartering and bareboat chartering of vessels are accounted for as operating leases and are thus recognized on a straight line basis as the average lease revenue over the rental periods of such charter agreements, as service is performed. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterers’ disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment of a specified daily hire rate. Short period charters for less than three months are referred to as spot-charters. Charters extending three months to a year are generally referred to as medium-term charters. All other charters are considered long-term. The Company has determined to recognize lease revenue as a combined single lease component for all time charters (operating leases) as the related lease component and non-lease components will have the same timing and pattern of the revenue recognition of the combined single lease component. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. Under time charters, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel. Revenue from time chartering and bareboat chartering of vessels amounted to $221,318 and $62,499 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue from voyage contracts

Under a voyage charter, a vessel is provided for the transportation of specific goods between specific ports in return for payment of an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue ratably from port of loading to when the charterer’s cargo is discharged as well as defer costs that meet the definition of “costs to fulfill a contract” and relate directly to the contract. Revenue from voyage contracts amounted to $6,571 and $1,220 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Pooling arrangements

For vessels operating in pooling arrangements, the Company earns a portion of total revenues generated by the pool, net of expenses incurred by the pool. The amount allocated to each pool participant vessel, including the Company’s vessels, is determined in accordance with an agreed-upon formula, which is determined by points awarded to each vessel in the pool based on the vessel’s age, design and other performance characteristics. Revenue under pooling arrangements is accounted for as variable rate operating leases on the accrual basis and is recognized when an agreement with the pool exists, price is fixed, service is provided and the collectability is reasonably assured. The allocation of such net revenue may be subject to future adjustments by the pool however, such changes are not expected to be material. The Company recognizes net pool revenue on a monthly and quarterly basis, when the vessel has participated in a pool during the period and the amount of pool revenue can be estimated reliably based on the pool report. Revenue from vessels operating in pooling arrangements amounted to $8,666 and $1,344 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenue from profit-sharing

Profit-sharing revenues are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the charterer’s average daily income (calculated on a quarterly or semi-annual basis) over an agreed amount and accounted for on an accrual basis based on provisional amounts and for those contracts that provisional accruals cannot be made due to the nature of the profit sharing elements, these are accounted for on the actual cash settlement or when such revenue becomes determinable. Profit-sharing revenue amounted to $62 and $0 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Revenues are recorded net of address commissions. Address commissions represent a discount provided directly to the charterers based on a fixed percentage of the agreed upon charter or freight rate. Since address commissions represent a discount (sales incentive) on services rendered by the Company and no identifiable benefit is received in exchange for the consideration provided to the charterer, these commissions are presented as a reduction of revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Navios Partners’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2021. On January 1, 2022, the Company adopted the provisions of ASU 2021-05, Lease (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (“ASU 2021-05”) and this adoption did not have a material effect on Company’s interim condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITION OF NAVIOS CONTAINERS AND NAVIOS ACQUISITION

ACQUISITION OF NAVIOS CONTAINERS

On March 31, 2021, Navios Partners completed the merger (the “NMCI Merger”) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “NMCI Merger Agreement”), dated as of December 31, 2020, by and amongst Navios Partners, its direct wholly-owned subsidiary NMM Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”), Navios Maritime Containers L.P. (“Navios Containers LP”) and Navios Maritime Containers GP LLC, Navios Containers LP’s general partner. Pursuant to the NMCI Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Navios Containers LP, with Navios Containers LP continuing as the surviving partnership. As a result of the NMCI Merger, Navios Containers LP became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Partners. Pursuant to the terms of the NMCI Merger Agreement, each outstanding common unit of Navios Containers LP that was held by a unitholder other than Navios Partners, Navios Containers LP and their respective subsidiaries was converted into the right to receive 0.39 of a common unit of Navios Partners. Following the exercise of the optional second merger (“Second Merger”), Navios Containers LP merged with and into Navios Maritime Containers Sub LP (“Navios Containers” which shall include all its predecessors),, with Navios Containers continuing as the surviving partnership, and Migen Shipmanagement Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Partners, became Navios Containers’ general partner.

Navios Partners accounted for the NMCI Merger “as a business combination achieved in stages”, which results in the application of the “acquisition method,” as defined under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Navios Partners’ previously held equity interest in Navios Containers was remeasured to its fair value at March 31, 2021, the date the controlling interest was acquired and the resulting gain was recognized in earnings. Under the acquisition method, the fair value of the consideration paid by Navios Partners in connection with the transaction was allocated to Navios Containers’ net assets based on their estimated fair values at the date of the completion of the NMCI Merger. The excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired of $342,674 over the total purchase price consideration of $298,621, resulted in a bargain gain of $44,053. The transaction resulted in a bargain gain as a result of the share price of Navios Containers trading at a discount to their net asset value (“NAV”). The fair value of the vessels was determined based on vessel valuations, obtained from independent third party shipbrokers, which are among other things, based on recent sales and purchase transactions of similar vessels. The fair value of the unfavorable lease terms (intangible liabilities) was determined by reference to market data and the discounted amount of expected future cash flows. The key assumptions that were used in the discounted cash flow analysis were as follows: (i) the contracted charter rate of the acquired charter over the remaining lease term compared to the current market charter rates for a similar contract and (ii) discounted using the Company’s relevant discount factor of 8.89%.

As of March 31, 2021, Navios Partners’ previously held interest of 35.7% in Navios Containers was remeasured to a fair value of $106,997, determined using the closing price per common unit of $9.23 of NMCI as of the closing date of the NMCI merger, resulting in revaluation gain of $75,387 which along with the equity gain of $5,452 from the operations of Navios Containers upon the closing date aggregate to a gain on acquisition of control in the amount of $80,839 and is presented in, “Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies”, in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The acquisition of the remaining interest of 64.3% through the issuance of newly issued common units in Navios Partners was recorded at a fair value of $191,624 on the basis of 8,133,452 common units issued at a closing price per common unit of $23.56 as of the closing date of the NMCI Merger.

UNAUDITED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit data)

 

ACQUISITION OF NAVIOS ACQUISITION

On August 25, 2021 (date of obtaining control), Navios Partners purchased 44,117,647 newly issued shares of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”), thereby acquiring a controlling interest of 62.4% in Navios Acquisition, and the results of operations of Navios Acquisition are included in Navios Partners’ Consolidated Statements of Operations commencing on August 26, 2021.

On October 15, 2021, Navios Partners completed the merger with Navios Acquisition (the “NNA Merger” and together with the NMCI Merger, the “Mergers”) and as a result thereof, Navios Acquisition became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Partners. Each outstanding share of common stock of Navios Acquisition that was held by a stockholder other than Navios Partners was converted into the right to receive 0.1275 of a common unit of Navios Partners. As a result of the NNA Merger, 3,388,226 common units of Navios Partners were issued to former public stockholders of Navios Acquisition.

Navios Partners accounted for the control obtained “as a business combination”, which resulted in the application of the “acquisition method,” as defined under ASC 805, Business Combinations, as well as the recognition of the equity interest in Navios Acquisition not held by Navios Partners to its fair value at the date the controlling interest is acquired by Navios Partners as noncontrolling interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The excess of the fair value of Navios Acquisition’s identifiable net assets acquired of $211,597 over the fair value of the consideration transferred of $150,000 and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest of $57,635, resulted in a bargain gain upon obtaining control of $3,962.

The fair value of the consideration of $150,000 has been treated as deemed contribution with an equal increase in total partner’s capital. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest was determined by using the Navios Acquisition’s closing price of $2.17 as of August 25, 2021 (date of obtaining control). The fair value of the vessels was determined based on vessel valuations, obtained from independent third party shipbrokers, which are among other things, based on recent sales and purchase transactions of similar vessels. The fair value of the favorable and unfavorable lease terms (intangible assets and liabilities) were determined by reference to market data and the discounted amount of expected future cash flows. The key assumptions that were used in the discounted cash flow analysis were as follows: (i) the contracted charter rate of the acquired charter over the remaining lease term compared to the current market charter rates for a similar contract and (ii) discounted using the Company’s relevant discount factor of 10.43%.

Navios Acquisition’s balances are included in Navios Partners’ condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and Navios Partners’ Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2021, while Navios Acquisitions’ results of operations are only included in Navios Partners’ condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2022.

The following table summarizes the fair value of the consideration transferred the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Navios Acquisition assumed on August 25, 2021:

 

Purchase consideration:

  

Fair value of the consideration

ABN Amro Bank N.V.: On March 28, 2022, Navios Partners entered into a new credit facility with ABN Amro Bank N.V. of up to $55,000 in order to refinance the existing indebtedness of three of its vessels and for general corporate purposes. On March 31, 2022, the full amount was drawn. As of March 31, 2022, the total outstanding balance was $55,000 and is repayable in 20 consecutive quarterly installments of $1,700 each together with a final balloon payment of $21,000 to be paid on the last repayment date. The facility matures in the first quarter of 2027 and bears interest at daily cumulative or non-cumulative compounded RFR rate (as defined in the loan agreement) plus 225 bps per annum.

Amounts drawn under the credit facilities are secured by first preferred mortgages on certain Navios Partners’ vessels and other collateral and are guaranteed by the respective vessel-owning subsidiaries.

Credit Facilities and Financial Liabilities

NOTE 9 – ISSUANCE OF UNITS

On November 18, 2016, Navios Partners entered into a Continuous Offering Program Sales Agreement for the issuance and sale from time to time through its agent common units having an aggregate offering price of up to $25,000. An amended Sales Agreement was entered into on August 3, 2020.

No additional sales were made subsequent to December 31, 2021 and will be made under this program. Pursuant to the issuance of the common units, Navios Partners issued 26,265 general partnership units to its general partner in order to maintain its 2.0% ownership interest. The net proceeds from the issuance of the general partnership units were $501.

Pursuant to the terms of the NMCI Merger Agreement, each outstanding common unit of Navios Containers that was held by a unitholder other than Navios Partners, Navios Containers and their respective subsidiaries was converted into the right to receive 0.39 of a common unit of Navios Partners. As a result of the NMCI Merger, 8,133,452 common units of Navios Partners were issued to former public unitholders of Navios Containers. Pursuant to the issuance of the common units, Navios Partners issued 165,989 general partner units, resulting in net proceeds of $3,911 (see Note 3 – Acquisition of Navios Containers and Navios Acquisition).

Pursuant to the terms of the NNA merger agreement, each outstanding common unit of Navios Acquisition that was held by a stockholder other than Navios Partners, was converted into the right to receive 0.1275 of a common unit of Navios Partners. As a result of the NNA Merger, 3,388,226 common units of Navios Partners were issued to former public stockholders of Navios Acquisition. Pursuant to the issuance of the common units, Navios Partners issued 69,147 general partner units, resulting in net proceeds of $1,893 (see Note 3 – Acquisition of Navios Containers and Navios Acquisition).

The effect of compensation expense arising from the restricted common units granted in December 2019 and 2018 and February 2019, amounted to $42 for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 (including the effect of restricted common units of Navios Acquisition, amounted to $11 for the three month period ended March 31, 2022) and was presented under the caption “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2022, there were 42,916 restricted common units outstanding that remained unvested.

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

ASC 280, “Segment Reporting,” establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments on a basis consistent with the Company’s internal organizational structure as well as information about geographical areas, business segments and major customers in financial statements for details on the Company’s business segments. The Company uses the “management approach” in determining reportable operating segments. The management approach considers the internal organization and reporting used by the Company’s chief operating decision maker for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source for determining the Company’s reportable segments.

Navios Partners reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. Navios Partners does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter or by sector. As a result, management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet as a whole, determining where to allocate resources and drive business forward by examining consolidated results. Thus Navios Partners has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

The Republic of the Marshall Islands, Malta and Liberia do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Malta, Cayman Islands, Liberia, British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong, the countries of the vessel-owning subsidiaries’ incorporation and vessels’ registration, the vessel-owning subsidiaries are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which have been included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In accordance with the currently applicable Greek law, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies having established an office in Greece on the basis of the applicable licensing regime are subject to tax liability towards the Greek state, which is calculated on the basis of the relevant vessel’s tonnage. A tax credit is recognized for tonnage tax (or similar tax) paid abroad, up to the amount of the tax due in Greece. The owner, the manager and the bareboat charterer or the financial lessee (where applicable) are liable to pay the tax due to the Greek state. The payment of said tax exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company, the bareboat charterer, the financial lessee (as applicable) and the relevant manager against any tax, duty, charge or contribution payable on income from the exploitation of the foreign flagged vessel outside Greece.

Pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, U.S. source income from the international operation of ships is generally exempt from U.S. income tax if the company operating the ships meets certain incorporation and ownership requirements. Among other things, in order to qualify for this exemption, the company operating the ships must be incorporated in a country, which grants an equivalent exemption from income taxes to U.S. corporations. All the vessel-owning subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria.

In addition, these companies must meet an ownership test. The management of Navios Partners believes that this ownership test was satisfied prior to the IPO by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company. Although not free from doubt, management also believes that the ownership test will be satisfied based on the trading volume and ownership of Navios Partners’ units, but no assurance can be given that this will remain so in the future.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Navios Partners 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 Navios Partners believes that a liability may be probable, and for which the amounts are reasonably estimable, based upon facts known at the date the financial statements were prepared. Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will be immaterial individually and in the aggregate to Navios Partners’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In November 2017, Navios Partners agreed to bareboat charter-in, under a ten-year bareboat contract, from an unrelated third party, the Navios Libra, a newbuilding Panamax vessel of 82,011 dwt, delivered on July 24, 2019. Navios Partners agreed to pay in total $5,540, representing a deposit for the option to acquire the vessel after the end of the fourth year, of which the first half of $2,770 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2017 and the second half of $2,770 was paid during the year ended December 31, 2018.

Navios Partners calculates earnings per unit by allocating reported net income for each period to each class of units based on the distribution waterfall for available cash specified in Navios Partners’ partnership agreement, net of the unallocated earnings (or losses). Basic earnings per common unit is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per unit, except that the weighted average number of outstanding units increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding unit options or phantom units. Net loss per unit undistributed is determined by taking the distributions in excess of net income and allocating between common units and general partner units on a 98%-2% basis. There were no options or phantom units outstanding during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 15 – LEASES

Time charter out contracts and pooling arrangements

The Company’s contract revenues from time chartering, bareboat chartering and pooling arrangements are governed by ASC 842.

Bareboat charter-in contracts

On July 24, 2019, Navios Partners took delivery of the Navios Libra, a 2019-built Panamax vessel of 82,011 dwt, for a ten-year bareboat charter-in agreement. The bareboat charter-in provides for purchase options with de-escalating purchase prices starting on the end of the fourth year and an average daily rate of $6. The Company has performed an assessment considering the lease classification criteria under ASC 842 and concluded that the arrangement is an operating lease. Consequently, the Company has recognized an operating lease liability based on the net present value of the remaining charter-in payments and an operating lease right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the operating liability adjusted for the carrying amount of the straight-line liability. On May 28, 2021 and June 10, 2021, Navios Partners took delivery of the Navios Amitie and the Navios Star, two 2021-built Panamax vessels of 82,002 dwt and 81,994 dwt, respectively. The bareboat charter-in provides for purchase options with de-escalating purchase prices starting on the end of the fourth year and an average daily rate of $5.9. The Company has performed assessments considering the lease classification criteria under ASC 842 and concluded that the arrangements are operating leases. Consequently, the Company has recognized an operating lease liability based on the net present value of the remaining charter-in payments and a right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the operating liability adjusted for the carrying amount of the straight-line liability.

Upon acquisition of the majority of outstanding stock of Navios Acquisition, Navios Partners took delivery of two 12-year bareboat charter-in vessels, with de-escalating purchase options, the Baghdad, a 2020-built Japanese VLCC of 313,433 dwt and the Erbil, a 2021-built Japanese VLCC of 313,486 dwt. The average daily rate under bareboat charter-in agreement each of Baghdad and Erbil, amounts to $21. The Company has performed an assessment considering the lease classification criteria under ASC 842 and concluded that the arrangement is an operating lease. Consequently, the Company has recognized an operating lease liability based on the net present value of the remaining charter-in payments and a right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the operating liability adjusted for the carrying amount of the straight-line liability.

On August 30, 2021, Navios Partners took delivery of the Nave Electron, a 2021-built VLCC vessel of 313,329 dwt. The bareboat charter-in provides for purchase options with de-escalating purchase prices starting on the end of the fourth year and an average daily rate of $21. The Company has performed assessments considering the lease classification criteria under ASC 842 and concluded that the arrangements are operating leases. The Company has recognized an operating lease liability based on the net present value of the remaining charter-in payments and a right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the operating liability adjusted for the carrying amount of the straight-line liability.

Based on management estimates and market conditions, the lease term of the leases is being assessed at each balance sheet date. At lease commencement, the Company determines a discount rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments so that it can determine lease classification and measure the lease liability. In determining the discount rate to be used at lease commencement, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate as there was no implicit rate included in charter-in contracts that can be readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate that reflects the interest a lessee would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment. The Company then applies the respective incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term of the specific lease. Navios Partners’ incremental borrowing rates were approximately 7% for the Navios Libra, 5% for the Navios Amite and the Navios Star, 6% for Baghdad and Erbil and 4% for the Nave Electron.

As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the unamortized balance of the lease liability amounted $239,388 and $243,804, respectively, and is presented under the captions “Operating lease liabilities, net, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, net, non-current portion” in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right of use assets amounted $240,132 and $244,337 as at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and are presented under the caption “Operating lease assets” in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company recognizes the lease payments for its operating leases as charter hire on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $7,617, and $513, respectively, and is included under the caption “Time charter and voyage expenses” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021, the sublease income (net of commissions, if any) for vessels where the Company is a lessee amounted to $16,182 and $972, respectively, and it is included in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Time charter and voyage revenues”.

The table below provides the total amount of lease payments on an undiscounted basis on the Company’s chartered-in contracts as of March 31, 2022:

Bareboat charter-out contract

Subsequently to the charter-in agreement, the Company entered into bareboat charter-out agreements for a firm charter period of 10-years for the vessels Baghdad and Erbil. The agreement includes an optional period of five years. The Company performed also an assessment of the lease classification under the ASC 842 and concluded that the arrangements are operating leases.

The Company recognizes in relation to the operating leases for the charter-out agreements the charter-out hire income in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations on a straight-line basis. For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, the charter hire income (net of commissions, if any) amounted to $5,185 and it is included in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations under the caption “Time charter and voyage revenues”.
