MONACO, Nov. 05, 2024 (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, 2024.

Angeliki Frangou, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners stated, “I am pleased with the results for the third quarter of 2024 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2024.  For the quarter, we reported revenue and net income of $340.8 million and $97.8 million, respectively. For the first nine months, we reported revenue and net income of $1.0 billion and $272.6 million, respectively. Earnings per common unit were $3.20 for the quarter and $8.87 for the first nine months.”

Angeliki Frangou continued, “This past 18 months has been surprisingly positive for shipping given sputtering growth from China, weak European economies and two armed conflicts. The Ukrainian conflict, now in its third year, is evolving dangerously while the war in Israel, now in its second year, has expanded to Lebanon and includes the direct exchange of fire between Iran and Israel. We are monitoring these intensifying risks and calibrating our business activity by continuing to maintain a youthful fleet, increasing contracted revenue, now at $3.9 billion, and targeting net leverage in the range of 20-25%, while also returning capital to our unitholders.”

Common unit repurchases

As of October 29, 2024, pursuant to its previously announced common unit repurchase program, Navios Partners repurchased 351,125 common units for an aggregate cash consideration of $18.3 million. As of October 29, 2024, there were outstanding 29,833,263 common units.

Cash distribution

The Board of Directors of Navios Partners declared a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2024 of $0.05 per unit. The cash distribution will be paid on November 15, 2024 to unitholders of record as of November 12, 2024. 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.

Three month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Time charter and voyage revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by $17.6 million, or 5.4%, to $340.8 million, as compared to $323.2 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, time charter and voyage revenues were positively affected by $2.4 million and negatively affected by $9.7 million, respectively, relating to the straight line effect of the containership and tanker charters with de-escalating rates. The TCE rate increased by 7.0% to $23,591 per day, as compared to $22,052 per day for the same period in 2023. The available days of the fleet slightly decreased by 1.5% to 13,552 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 13,759 days for the same period in 2023 mainly due to the sale of vessels, partially mitigated by the deliveries of newbuilding vessels.

EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $21.7 million to $195.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $173.7 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $17.6 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; (ii) $5.3 million increase in other income, net; (iii) $5.0 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses, mainly due to the decrease in bunker expenses arising from the decreased days of freight voyages in the third quarter of 2024 and bareboat and charter-in hire expenses of the dry bulk fleet; and (iv) $1.5 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items). The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $6.1 million increase in vessel operating expenses mainly due to the change in the composition of our fleet with deliveries and sale of vessels and the adjustment of the fixed daily fee in accordance with our management agreements; and (ii) $1.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses in accordance with our administrative services agreement.

Net Income for the three month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income increased by $13.9 million to $96.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $82.6 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to a: (i) $21.7 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA; and (ii) $0.1 million increase in interest income. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $7.1 million negative impact from the depreciation and amortization, that primarily resulted from a $3.6 million increase in the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items, a $3.2 million increase in the depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and a $0.3 million decrease in the amortization of unfavorable lease terms; and (ii) $0.8 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net.

Nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023

Time charter and voyage revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by $21.9 million, or 2.2%, to $1,001.5 million, as compared to $979.6 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in TCE rate. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, time charter and voyage revenues were positively affected by $4.9 million and negatively affected by $30.2 million, respectively, relating to the straight line effect of the containership and tanker charters with de-escalating rates. The TCE rate increased by 2.6% to $22,830 per day, as compared to $22,242 per day for the same period in 2023. The available days of the fleet slightly decreased by 1.6% to 40,590 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to 41,239 days for the same period in 2023 mainly due to the sale of vessels, partially mitigated by the deliveries of newbuilding vessels.

EBITDA of Navios Partners for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $28.9 million to $549.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $520.5 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to: (i) a $21.9 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; (ii) an $8.6 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items); (iii) a $7.1 million decrease in other expense, net; and (iv) a $4.7 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses, mainly due to the decrease in bareboat and charter-in hire expenses of the dry bulk fleet. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $10.6 million increase in vessel operating expenses mainly due the change in the composition of our fleet with deliveries and sale of vessels and the adjustment of the fixed daily fee in accordance with our management agreements, partially mitigated by the sale of vessels; and (ii) $2.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses in accordance with our administrative services agreement.

Net Income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income increased by $11.7 million to $262.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, as compared to $250.5 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to: (i) a $28.9 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) an $8.6 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net; and (iii) a $3.0 million increase in interest income. The above increase was partially mitigated by a $28.8 million negative impact from the depreciation and amortization, that primarily resulted from a $15.1 million increase in the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items, a $6.9 million decrease in the amortization of unfavorable lease terms and a $6.8 million increase in the depreciation and amortization of intangible assets.

(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, drydockings 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, drydockings or special surveys.

(4

)

TCE rate: TCE rate per day is defined as voyage, time charter revenues and charter-out revenues under bareboat contracts (grossed up by the applicable fixed vessel operating expenses for the respective periods) less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period. The TCE rate per day is a customary 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.

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings 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 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) amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities; (vi) non-cash amortization of deferred revenue and straight line effect of the containership and tanker charters with de-escalating rates; (vii) stock-based compensation expense; and (viii) gain on sale of vessels, net. 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 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 Earnings per Common Unit is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of common units outstanding for each of the periods presented, basic and diluted.
