MONACO, Nov. 10, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) (NYSE: NMM), an international owner and operator of dry cargo and tanker vessels, today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2022.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners, stated, “We are pleased to report our results for the third quarter of 2022 in which we recorded $322.4 million of revenue, $257.2 million of net income and net income per unit of $8.36.”
Angeliki Frangou continued, “Our diversified approach served our stakeholders well, despite unprecedented macro challenges, including slowing growth in China, the Ukrainian conflict, and a more restrictive financial environment caused by central banks because of quantitative tightening and inflation. In containerships, we leveraged market strength by selling two 16-year-old vessels for $220.0 million while also hedging our newbuilding risk through long-term charters. We also used our balance sheet strength to enter the Aframax tanker class, of which four of the six tankers on order have long-term charters. As a result of our efforts, our current breakeven per open day for 2023 is slightly less than $6,000.”

Three month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Time charter and voyage revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 increased by $94.4 million, or 41.4%, to $322.4 million, as compared to $228.0 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the size of our fleet. For the three month period ended September 30, 2022, the time charter and voyage revenues are affected by $13.6 million relating to the straight line effect of the containerships charters with de-escalating rates. The Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate decreased by 2.7% to $23,781 per day, as compared to $24,447 per day for the same period in 2021. The available days of the fleet increased by 42.9% to 12,897 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 9,027 days for the same period in 2021 mainly due to the acquisition of the 36-vessel drybulk fleet and the NNA Merger.
EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $32.5 million to $177.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $145.2 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $94.4 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $24.9 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) $23.9 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses, mainly due to the increase in bareboat and charter-in hire expense of the tanker and drybulk fleet; (iii) $6.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (iv) $3.9 million decrease in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest; (v) $1.9 million increase in other expenses, net; and (vi) $1.2 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items).
Net Income attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income attributable to Navios Partners' unitholders for the three month period ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $113.4 million as compared to $130.1 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders was primarily due to a: (i) $27.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) $10.8 million decrease in the amortization of the unfavorable lease terms; (iii) $7.9 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net; and (iv) $3.4 million increase in amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $32.5 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA; and (ii) $0.1 million increase in interest income.
Nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
Time charter and voyage revenues of Navios Partners for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 increased by approximately $394.7 million, or 88.7%, to $839.7 million, as compared to $445.0 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 the TCE rate. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, the time charter and voyage revenues are affected by $30.1 million relating to the straight line effect of the containerships charters with de-escalating rates. The TCE rate increased by 8.2% to $22,717 per day, as compared to $20,991 per day in the same period in 2021. The available days of the fleet increased by 72.5% to 35,394 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to 20,521 days in the same period in 2021 mainly due to the acquisition of the 36-vessel drybulk fleet, the NMCI Merger and the NNA Merger.
EBITDA of Navios Partners for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by approximately $197.5 million to $467.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $269.8 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a $394.7 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues. The above increase was partially mitigated by: (i) an $107.4 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) a $54.5 million increase in time charter voyage expenses, mainly due to the increase in bareboat and charter-in hire expense of the tanker and drybulk fleet; (iii) a $19.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (iv) an $11.9 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items); (v) a $3.9 million decrease in net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest; and (vi) a $0.5 million increase in other expenses, net.
Net Income attributable to Navios Partners' unitholders for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was affected by items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 amounted to $317.2 million compared to $242.3 million for the same period in 2021. The increase in Adjusted Net Income attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders of $74.9 million was primarily due to a $197.5 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $76.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense; (ii) $22.4 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net; (iii) $13.4 million decrease in the amortization of the unfavorable lease terms; (iv) $9.5 million increase in amortization for deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items; and (v) $0.8 million decrease in interest income.

(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) | TCE rate: Time Charter Equivalent rate per day is defined as voyage, time charter revenues and charter-out revenues under bareboat contract (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. |

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings attributable to Navios Partners' unitholders per Common Unit, basic and diluted are “non-U.S. GAAP financial measures” and should not be used in isolation or considered substitutes for net income/ (loss), cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization (including intangible accelerated amortization) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain items, as described under “Earnings Highlights”. 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 finance costs and discount; (v) equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; (vi) non-cash amortization of deferred revenue and straight line effect of the containerships charters with de-escalating rates; (vii) stock-based compensation; (viii) amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities; (ix) gain/ (loss) on sale of assets; (x) bargain gain; and (xi) net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. 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.
We present Adjusted Net Income attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income adjusts net income for the items described above under “Earnings Highlights”. The definition of Adjusted Net Income used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. Adjusted Basic Earnings attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders per Common Unit is defined as Adjusted Net Income attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders divided by the weighted average number of common units outstanding for each of the periods presented, basic and diluted.
