Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008

PIRAEUS, Greece, Nov. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. ("Navios Holdings") , a global, vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2008.

"We believe that Navios' flexible business model and conservative strategy will benefit us during this difficult period in the drybulk market," stated Angeliki Frangou Chairman and CEO of Navios Holdings. "Consistent with past practices, we entered into long-term charters-out and, as a result, our core fleet is 82% covered for 2009 and 59% covered for 2010. We have also taken steps to preserve capital by cancelling 12 unfixed vessels."

Ms. Frangou continued, "We are paying dividends for the third quarter of $0.09 per share. We remain committed to returning capital to shareholders while allowing for future growth. We have increased the share repurchase program by $25.0 million and intend to maintain a quarterly dividend of $0.06 per share, commencing with the fourth quarter of 2008.

Q3 2008 HIGHLIGHTS - RECENT DEVELOPMENTS Cancellation of Three Unfixed Capesize Newbuildings:

In November 2008, Navios Holdings cancelled three Capesize vessels scheduled for delivery to Navios Holdings' owned fleet in Q4 2009 and Q1 2010. These vessels had not been chartered-out, and the cancellation will result in capital expenditure savings of $265.0 million. Installments already paid to the shipyard were applied towards future payments on three other Capesize vessels under construction with the same shipyard in South Korea. The cancellation fee was $1.5 million in total.

In October 2008, Navios Holdings cancelled six Kamsarmax vessels scheduled for delivery in 2010 and 2011 to Navios Holdings' long-term charter-in fleet. In November 2008, Navios Holdings also cancelled three Handysize vessels scheduled for delivery to Navios Holdings' long-term charter-in fleet in 2010 and 2011. These vessels had not been chartered out, and the cancellation will result in annual savings of $61.0 million. All cancellations were at no cost.

Financing:

In November 2008, Navios Holdings entered into a new revolving credit facility of up to $90.0 million. The facility can be used for general corporate purposes. As of November 17, 2008, no amount had been drawn under this facility.

Dividend Policy:

On November 14, 2008, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend with respect to the third quarter of 2008 of $0.09 per share of common stock. This dividend is payable on January 6, 2009, to stockholders of record as of December 22, 2008.

The Board revised our dividend policy for the fourth quarter of 2008 and subsequent periods to $0.06 per share ($0.24 per share annually). Our board of directors may amend our dividend policy from time to time in light of our capital needs, among other factors. The amount of dividends we can pay is also limited by our credit agreements.

Share Repurchase Program:

In October 2008 Navios Holdings completed a $50.0 million share repurchase program of Navios Holdings' common stock, as approved by the Board of Directors on February 14, 2008. A total of 6,959,290 shares were repurchased under this program.

In November 2008, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the purchase of up to $25.0 million of Navios Holdings' common stock pursuant to a program adopted under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act. The program does not require any minimum purchase or any specific number or amount of shares and may be suspended or reinstated at any time in Navios Holdings' discretion and without notice.

Warrant Exercises:

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, Navios Holdings issued 1,349,868 shares of common stock following the exercise of warrants. The exercise of these warrants generated $6.7 million of cash proceeds. As of September 30, 2008, Navios Holdings had 102,989,458 shares of common stock outstanding and 6,452,837 warrants remaining outstanding. As of November 17, 2008, Navios Holdings had 100,816,958 shares of common stock outstanding and 6,451,337 warrants remaining outstanding. The warrants expire in accordance with their terms on December 9, 2008.

Sale of Navios Aurora I:

On July 1, 2008, Navios Holdings sold the Navios Aurora I, a 75,397 dwt Panamax vessel built in 2005, to Navios Maritime Partners L.P. ("Navios Partners") for approximately $80.0 million, consisting of $35.0 million cash and 3,131,415 common units. The number of the common units issued was calculated using the $14.3705 volume weighted average trading price for the 10 business days immediately before the closing date. Following the sale of Navios Aurora I, Navios Holdings owns a 51.6% equity interest in Navios Partners which includes 2% general partner interest.

For the following results and the selected financial data presented herein, Navios Holdings has compiled consolidated statement of income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. The quarterly and nine month period 2008 and 2007 information was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the respective periods. EBITDA is a non-US GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or substitution for Navios Holdings' results.

Third Quarter 2008 Results (in thousands of US Dollars): Three Months ended Three Months ended September 30, September 30, 2008 2007 Revenue $371,285 $212,887 EBITDA $56,955 $57,909 Adjusted EBITDA (*) $58,555 $57,909 Net income $30,676 $36,520 EPS $0.29 $0.36 (*) Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2008 excludes $1.6 million relating to the accounting treatment of unrealized losses on sponsor warrants acquired as part of the initial public offering of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation

Revenue from vessel operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $337.7 million as compared to $210.1 million for the same period during 2007. The increase in revenue is mainly attributable to the increase in Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") per day and the increase in the available days of the fleet in 2008 as compared to 2007. The achieved TCE rate per day, excluding FFAs, increased 59.9% from $31,122 per day in the third quarter of 2007 to $49,769 per day in the same period of 2008. The available days for the fleet increased by 15.9% to 6,036 in the third quarter of 2008 from 5,207 days in the same period of 2007.

Revenue from the logistics business was approximately $33.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $2.8 million during the same period of 2007. This is due to the acquisition of Horamar Group in January 2008.

EBITDA for the third quarter of 2008 and 2007 was $57.0 million and $57.9 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2008 and 2007 was $58.6 million and $57.9 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA reflects EBITDA adjusted for the effect of the unrealized losses on warrants acquired as part of the initial public offering of Navios Acquisition. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $0.7 million was primarily due to an increase in revenue by $158.4 million from $212.9 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $371.3 million for the same period in 2008, a decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs) by $0.6 million from $6.7 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $6.1 million for the same period in 2008, an increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies by $3.6 million and an increase in gain on sale of assets by $24.9 million, due to the sale of vessel Navios Aurora I to Navios Partners. This overall favorable variance of $187.5 million was mitigated mainly by a decrease in gain of FFA trading by $5.0 million from $10.2 million for the third quarter of 2007 to $5.2 million for the same period in 2008, an increase in time charter, voyage and logistic business expenses by $174.8 million from $154.2 million in the third quarter of 2007 to $329.0 million for the same period in 2008, an increase in general and administrative expenses by $4.5 million from $5.0 million in the second quarter of 2007 to $9.5 million for the same period in 2008 (excluding the $0.7 million share-based compensation for the second quarter of 2008), a decrease of $0.7 million relating to interest income from finance leases, an increase in minority interest of $0.9 million and an increase in net other expenses (excluding unrealized losses on warrants) of $0.9 million.

Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 was $30.7 million as compared to $36.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. The decrease of Net income by $5.8 million was mainly affected by a $6.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense mainly due to the purchase price allocation from the acquisition of Horamar, a $1.1 million decrease in interest income, a $0.1 million increase in amortization of drydock and special survey, the unrealized losses on warrants of $1.6 million and a $0.7 million increase in share-based compensation expense. This was mitigated by a $0.7 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA, the $1.1 million decrease in interest expense and the $1.9 million decrease in income taxes.

Nine months ended September 30, 2008 Results (in thousands of US Dollars): Nine Months ended Nine Months ended September 30, September 30, 2008 2007 Revenue $1,063,994 $449,890 EBITDA $141,128 $135,122 Adjusted EBITDA (*) $142,728 $135,122 Net income $124,089 $74,485 Adjusted Net income (**) $66,841 $74,485 EPS $1.18 $0.79 Adjusted EPS (**) $0.63 $0.79 (*) Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended September 30, 2008 excludes $1.6 million relating to the accounting treatment of unrealized losses on sponsor warrants acquired as part of the initial public offering of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (**) Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 do not include effect of a $57.2 million write-off of deferred Belgian taxes.

Revenue from vessel operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $983.4 million as compared to $442.2 million for the same period during 2007. The increase in revenue is mainly attributable to the increase in TCE per day and the increase in the available days of the fleet in 2008 as compared to 2007. The achieved TCE rate per day, excluding FFAs, increased 87.0% from $25,561 per day in the first nine months of 2007 to $47,798 per day in the same period of 2008. The available days for the fleet increased by 37.4% to 18,040 days in the first nine months of 2008 from 13,125 days in the same period of 2007.

Revenue from the logistics business was approximately $80.5 million in the first nine months of 2008 as compared to $7.7 million during the same period of 2007. This is due to the acquisition of Horamar group in January 2008.

EBITDA for the first nine months of 2008 and 2007 was $141.1 million and $135.1 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2008 and 2007 was $142.7 million and $135.1 million, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA reflects EBITDA adjusted for the effect of the unrealized losses on warrants acquired as part of the initial public offering of Navios Acquisition. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA of $7.6 million was primarily due to an increase in revenue by $614.1 million from $449.9 million in nine months ended September 30, 2007 to $1,064 million for the same period in 2008, a decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs) by $2.1 million from $19.8 million in the first nine months of 2007 to $17.7 million for the same period in 2008, an increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies by $10.8 million, a gain of $27.7 million from the sale of assets in the first nine months of 2008. This overall favorable variance of $654.7 million was mitigated mainly by the decrease in gain of FFA trading by $3.8 million from $20.3 million for the first nine months of 2007 to $16.5 million for the same period in 2008, the increase in time charter, voyage and logistic business expenses by $625.1 million from $304.6 million in the first nine months of 2007 to $929.7 million for the same period in 2008, an increase in general and administrative expenses by $12.6 million from $14.1 million in the first nine months of 2007 to $26.7 million for the same period in 2008 (excluding the $2.2 million share-based compensation for the first nine months of 2008), an increase in minority interest by $2.7 million and a decrease of $2.9 million in net other expenses (including interest income from finance leases and excluding unrealized losses on warrants).

Net income for the first nine months of 2008 was $124.1 million as compared to $74.5 million for the comparable period in 2007. Net income for the first nine months of 2008 includes a $57.3 million write-off of deferred Belgian taxes. Adjusting for this item, net income for the first nine months of 2008 would have been $66.8 million. The decrease of Adjusted Net income by $7.7 million was mainly affected by a $19.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense mainly due to the purchase price allocation from the acquisition of Horamar, a $0.1 million increase in amortization of deferred drydock and special survey, the unrealized losses on warrants of $1.6 million and a $2.2 million increase in share-based compensation expense. This was mitigated by a $7.6 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA, the increase in interest income by $1.4 million, the $2.7 million decrease in interest expense and the $4.3 million decrease in income taxes.

The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues. (2) Operating days is 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 Holdings' vessels were available for revenue generating available days, and is determined by dividing the number of operating days during a relevant period by the number of available days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels. (4) Time Charter Equivalent, or TCE, are defined as voyage and time charter revenues plus gains or losses on FFAs less voyage expenses during a relevant period divided by the number of available days during the period.

EBITDA: EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Navios Holdings uses EBITDA because Navios Holdings believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and because Navios Holdings believes that EBITDA presents useful information to investors regarding Navios Holdings' ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. Navios Holdings also uses EBITDA (i) by prospective and current lessors as well as potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; and (iii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Navios Holdings' results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA does 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, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Holdings' performance.
