MONACO, March 24, 2021 Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (Navios Partners) (NYSE: NMM), an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels, today reported its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners stated, I am pleased with the results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2020. For the full year 2020, Navios Partners reported revenue of $226.8 million and adjusted EBITDA of $99.8 million. For the fourth quarter, Navios Partners reported revenue of $69.2 million and adjusted EBITDA of $35.5 million.
Angeliki Frangou continued, Our approved merger with Navios Maritime Containers will be a transformative transaction. Proforma for the merger, we will have 85 vessels and have one of the 10 largest publicly listed dry cargo fleets. The transaction also provides significant benefits of diversification. Approximately half of our vessels in the fleet will be dry bulk vessels and the other half will be containerships. Navios Partners is well positioned to benefit from the different sector fundamentals.
The transaction builds scale through a larger, diversified asset base. We will also benefit from eliminating duplicative costs. The financial potency of the combination can be measured through proforma combined revenue. Had the merger been effective for 2020, revenue would have been $354 million. For 2021, contracted revenue already exceeds this amount and with more than a third of available days either open or index linked, there is ample opportunity for significant additional revenue and free cash flow.

On March 24, 2021, at a Special Meeting of limited partners of Navios Maritime Containers L.P.

Three month periods ended December 31, 2020 and 2019

The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to: (i) an approximate $8.0 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; (ii) a $1.2 million decrease in time charter voyage expenses; and (iii) a $2.4 million increase in other income. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $6.9 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) $1.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (iii) $0.9 million increase in other expenses; and (iv) $0.4 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies.

(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 and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period. The TCE rate per day is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels on various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet. |

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Common Unit 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 (loss)/ income attributable to Navios Partners unitholders before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization (including intangible accelerated amortization) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain items, as described under Earnings Highlights. Navios Partners uses Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by operating activities adding back, when applicable and as the case may be, the effect of: (i) net increase/ (decrease) in operating assets; (ii) net (increase)/ decrease in operating liabilities; (iii) net interest cost; (iv) amortization and write-off of deferred financing cost; (v) equity in net earnings of affiliate companies; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) non-cash accrued interest income and amortization of deferred revenue; (viii) equity compensation expense; (ix) non-cash accrued interest income from receivable from affiliates; and (x) amortization of operating lease right-of-use asset. 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.
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
11
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.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Merger. The pro forma condensed combined financial information for the year ended December 31, 2020 has been derived from (i) the historical consolidated financial statements of Navios Partners and Navios Containers, and (ii) applying to them transaction accounting adjustments based upon assumptions that management believes to be reasonable and which are described in the footnotes included hereto. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet is presented as if the Merger had occurred on December 31, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020 is presented as if the Merger had occurred on January 1, 2020. We refer to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet and the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Statement of Operations together as the unaudited pro forma financial information.
Navios Partners and Navios Containers Merger
On December 31, 2020, Navios Partners and Navios Containers entered into the Merger Agreement. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Partners, will merge with and into Navios Containers with Navios Containers surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Partners. Each outstanding Navios Containers Public Unit will be cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive 0.39 of a Navios Partners Common Unit at the effective time of the Merger.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements reflect the application of pro forma adjustments that are preliminary (such as fair values of vessels, intangibles, debt, non-recurring gains and transaction costs) and are based upon available information through March 24, 2021 and certain assumptions, described in the accompanying notes hereto, that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The fair value calculations of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are in process and will not be completed until subsequent to the closing of the Merger. Actual results may differ materially from the assumptions within the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared by management and are not necessarily indicative of the financial position or results of operations that would have been realized had the Merger occurred as of the dates indicated above, nor is it meant to be indicative of any anticipated financial position or future results of operations that Navios Partners or Navios Containers will experience going forward. In addition, the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations does not reflect any expected cost savings on restructuring actions that Navios Partners or Navios Containers may incur or generate. The acquisition of Navios Containers will be accounted for as a business combination and will reflect the application of acquisition accounting in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ASC 805, Business Combinations.
The unaudited pro forma financial information is based upon, has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with, the unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Navios Partners for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on Form 6-K, as filed with the SEC on March 24, 2021, and the unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements of Navios Containers for the year ended December 31, 2020, (in each case, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP).

Fair Value of Consideration
For the purpose of the preparation of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements, it has been assumed that all of the holders of Navios Containers common units, other than Navios Partners, Navios Containers and their respective subsidiaries (the Navios Containers Public Units), will exchange their Navios Containers Public Units for the merger consideration.
The preliminary fair value estimate of purchase consideration of $141,722 was calculated based on the closing stock price of Navios Partners Common Units on December 31, 2020 of $11.20 and represents the fair value of 100% of the conversion of the outstanding units of Navios Containers of 32,445,577 at an exchange rate of 0.39.
The preliminary estimate of the consideration reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information does not purport to represent the actual consideration to be transferred upon closing of the Merger. In accordance with GAAP, the fair value of Navios Partners Common Units to be issued as part of the consideration transferred in connection with the Merger will be measured on the completion date of the exchange of units at the then-current market price of Navios Partners Common Units. This requirement will likely result in a consideration different from the amount assumed in the unaudited pro forma financial information.
If the Company assumes a more current stock price based on the closing stock price as of March 23, 2021 of $24.75, the change in share price would increase the consideration by approximately $171,000. Based upon the purchase price allocation in Note 1, this would result in the recognition of goodwill of approximately $107,000. The fair value calculations of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed are preliminary and will not be completed until subsequent to the closing of the Merger. A change of 5% per share in the closing stock price of Navios Partners Common Units as of March 23, 2021 would increase or decrease the consideration by approximately $16,000, which would be reflected in the unaudited pro forma financial information as a decrease or increase to goodwill, respectively.
Transaction Accounting Adjustments
In May 2020, the SEC adopted Release No. 33-10786 entitled Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses, or the Final Rule. The Final Rule was effective on January 1, 2021 and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information herein is presented in accordance therewith.
Adjustments included in the column under the heading Transaction Accounting Adjustments are solely based on information contained within the Merger Agreement. Transaction Accounting Adjustments are required adjustments that reflect only the application of required accounting to the transaction linking the effects of the acquisition of Navios Containers to the historical financial information of Navios Partners.
(1) | Pro forma adjustments are necessary to reflect the acquisition consideration exchanged and to adjust amounts related to tangible assets and liabilities of Navios Containers to reflect the preliminary assessment of the fair value of the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be assumed and is based upon reasonable estimates that are subject to revision as additional information becomes available. The preliminary fair values, as well as their incremental effects, are as follows: |

Bargain purchase gain |
$ | 64,826 |
Vessels: Represents the preliminary fair value adjustment to bring the carrying value of the vessels to their fair value as well as their respective incremental depreciation. Deferred dry docking and special survey costs of Navios Containers have been eliminated. The useful lives used to calculate the incremental depreciation are consistent with the useful lives used in the financial statements of the acquirer and the remaining useful lives which range from 15 to 20 years. A 10% increase in the fair value of vessels results in an approximate $2.9 million increase in incremental depreciation expense.
16
Unfavorable Lease Liabilities: Represents the preliminary fair value adjustment to bring the carrying value of the favorable and unfavorable lease liabilities to their fair values as well as their respective incremental amortization. The useful lives used to calculate the incremental amortization are consistent with the lease terms of the underlying charter contracts and the remaining lives of the lease terms which range from 0.2 to 5.3 years.
Net Working Capital: Net working capital consists of the historical Navios Containers balances of cash and cash equivalents, other long-term assets, accounts receivable, due from related parties current and non-current, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, prepaid revenue and accrued expenses. The straight line of leases has been eliminated. The carrying value of all other working capital items are assumed to approximate fair value.
Transaction Costs: Reflects an accrual for estimated transaction expenses of $1,874 in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined Balance Sheet and the unaudited pro forma condensed combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2020. These transaction costs are one-time non-recurring expenses directly associated with the Merger.
Debt: Represents the preliminary fair value of the debt. The outstanding balance of the floating rate debt approximates its fair value as estimated based on currently available debt with similar contract terms, interest rate and remaining maturity, as well as taking into account Navios Partners creditworthiness. The debt discount and the deferred finance costs related to Navios Containers are eliminated. In addition, the income statement reflects the adjustment to amortization expense of $2,361 for the year ended December 31, 2020, had the fair value of debt discount and deferred financing costs been eliminated as of January 1, 2020.
Bargain Purchase Gain: The estimated fair value of the net assets exceeds the fair value of the consideration in the Merger. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes the Merger occurred as of January 1, 2020, this gain has been recorded as a transaction accounting adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2020. This bargain purchase gain will not affect the Navios Partners statement of operations beyond 12 months after the closing of the Merger.
(2) | Represents the elimination of the equity method investment held by Navios Partners in Navios Containers and the earnings and the gain to be recognized at the date of the controlling interest is acquired. Upon closing of the Merger, Navios Partners will acquire the remaining 64.3% equity interest of Navios Containers and, in accordance with ASC 805-10-25-10, Navios Partners previously held equity interest of 35.7% should be remeasured to fair value at the date the controlling interest is acquired. The fair value of 100% of Navios Containers was estimated based on the fair value of consideration exchanged. The difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the previously held equity interest will be recognized as a gain in the statement of operations. The difference between the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the 35.7% of the consideration exchanged results in a gain of $24,477 and has been calculated as follows: |
Historical value of the 35.7% equity method investment in Navios Containers as of December 31, 2020 |
$ | 26,158 | ||
Estimated fair value of 35.7% of Navios Containers equity |

Estimated gain on equity method investment upon obtaining control |
$ | (24,477 | ) |
The gain on the equity method investment is reflected in the pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2020, as the Merger is assumed to have occurred on January 1, 2020 for purposes of the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. This equity method gain will not affect the Navios Partners statement of operations beyond 12 months after the closing of the Merger.
(3) | The calculation of the pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to the holders of Navios Partners Common Units is based on: (i) the closing share price of Navios Partners Common Units of $11.20 on December 31, 2020, and (ii) the Exchange Ratio for Navios Containers Public Units. |
