HIGHLIGHTS – RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Successfully Refinanced the 2019 Maturity

On November 14, 2017, Navios Holdings announced the pricing of $305.0 million 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be secured by a first priority lien on the capital stock owned by certain of the subsidiary guarantors of Navios Holdings in each of Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”), Navios GP L.L.C., Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”), Navios South American Logistics Inc. (“Navios Logistics”) and Navios Maritime Containers Inc. The Notes will be guaranteed by all of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, except for certain subsidiaries designated as unrestricted subsidiaries, including Navios Logistics. The net proceeds of the offering will be used to complete a cash tender offer for any and all of Company’s outstanding 8 1⁄8% Senior Notes due 2019 and to redeem any and all such notes that are not purchased in the tender offer after all conditions to the tender offer are satisfied or waived, including the payment of related fees and expenses and any redemption premium, with any remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.

Other debt developments

On November 3, 2017, Navios Holdings prepaid in full the total outstanding amount borrowed under its secured loan facility with Navios Acquisition of up to $70.0 million entered into in September 2016 with a payment of $55.1 million and extinguished the secured loan facility. The prepayment amount consisted of the $50.0 million drawn under the facility and $5.1 million of accrued interest.

On November 1, 2017, Navios Holdings agreed to extend $18.3 million outstanding balance under one of its secured credit facilities originally due by September 2018 for three years to September 2021.

Navios Logistics

On November 3, 2017, Navios Logistics completed the borrowing of a new $100.0 million Term Loan B (the “Term Loan B”). The Term Loan B bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus 475 basis points and has a four year term with 1.0% amortization per annum. The Term Loan B is secured by first priority mortgages covering certain vessels owned by subsidiaries of Navios Logistics, as well as by assignments of certain receivables. Navios Logistics used $70.0 million of the proceeds of the Term Loan B to finance a cash dividend to its equity holders, of which Navios Holdings received $44.7 million. Navios Logistics intends to use the remaining proceeds of the Term Loan B: (i) for general corporate purposes and (ii) to pay fees and expenses relating to the Term Loan B.

Fleet update

Navios Holdings controls a fleet of 64 operating vessels totaling 6.6 million dwt, of which 38 are owned and 26 are chartered-in under long-term charters (collectively, the "Core Fleet"). The fleet consists of 21 Capesize, 23 Panamax, 18 Ultra Handymax and two Handysize vessels with an average age of 8.3 years.

As of November 1, 2017, Navios Holdings has chartered-out 66.6% and 11.2% of available days for the remaining three months of 2017 and 2018, respectively (excluding index and profit sharing days). The average contracted daily charter-in rate for the long-term charter-in vessels for the remaining three months of 2017 is $12,521.

The above figures do not include the fleet of Navios Logistics and vessels servicing contracts of affreightment.

Revenue from dry bulk vessel operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $61.0 million as compared to $49.7 million for the same period during 2016. The increase in dry bulk revenue was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in the time charter equivalent (“TCE”) per day by 5.2% to $9,481 per day in the third quarter of 2017, as compared to $9,010 per day in the same period of 2016; and (ii) an increase in available days of our fleet by 579 days, mainly due to an increase in long-term charter-in fleet available days.

Revenue from the logistics business was $59.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $63.4 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to (i) a $6.4 million decrease in revenue from the barge business mainly due to the expiration of certain iron ore transportation contracts; and (ii) a $0.6 million decrease in revenue from the cabotage business mainly due to the less operating days. The overall decrease was partially mitigated by a $3.2 million increase in revenue from the port terminal business mainly due to the increase in the volume and tariffs in the dry port terminal and to the commencement of operations at the new iron ore terminal.

Net Loss of Navios Holdings was $28.3 million and $27.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Net Loss was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Loss of Navios Holdings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was $28.3 million as compared to $22.4 million for the same period of 2016. The $5.9 million increase in Adjusted Net Loss was mainly due to (i) a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA by $7.3 million; (ii) an increase in interest expense and finance cost, net by $2.0 million; (iii) an increase in share-based compensation expense of $0.2 million; and (iv) an increase in amortization for deferred drydock and special survey costs of $0.1 million. This overall decrease of $9.6 million was partially mitigated by (i) a decrease in depreciation and amortization by $2.2 million; and (ii) a decrease in income tax expense of $1.5 million.

Net income of Navios Logistics was $1.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA of Navios Holdings for the three months ended September 30, 2017 decreased by $7.3 million to $31.2 million as compared to $38.5 million for the same period of 2016. The $7.3 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to (i) a $15.0 million increase in time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses; (ii) a $6.5 million decrease in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies; and (iii) a $0.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation expenses). This overall decrease of $21.8 million was partially mitigated by (i) a $7.5 million increase in revenue; (ii) a $4.8 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs); (iii) a $1.9 million decrease in other expense, net; and (iv) a $0.3 million decrease in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest.

EBITDA of Navios Logistics was $18.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $19.1 million for the same period in 2016.

 Revenue from dry bulk vessel operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $171.8 million as compared to $142.9 million for the same period during 2016. The increase in dry bulk revenue was mainly attributable to (i) the increase in TCE per day by 9.1% to $8,836 per day in the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $8,102 per day in the same period in 2016; and (ii) an increase in available days of our fleet by 1,191 days, mainly due to an increase in long-term charter-in fleet available days.

Revenue from the logistics business was $162.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $177.4 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to (i) an $18.0 million decrease in revenue from barge business mainly due to the expiration of certain iron ore transportation contracts; and (ii) a $5.9 million decrease in revenue from the cabotage business mainly due to a decrease in operating days of the cabotage fleet. The overall decrease was partially mitigated by (i) a $5.5 million increase in revenue due to an increase in tariffs in the dry port terminal business and the commencement of operations at the new iron ore terminal; and (ii) a $3.8 million increase in sales of products mainly due to an increase in the Paraguayan liquid port’s volume of products sold.

Net Loss of Navios Holdings was $114.3 million and $61.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  Net Loss was affected by the items described in the table above.

The $16.9 million increase in Adjusted Net Loss was mainly due to (i) a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $20.0 million; (ii) an increase in interest expense and finance cost, net of $2.5 million; (iii) an increase of $0.9 million in amortization for deferred drydock and special survey costs; and (iv) an increase of $0.7 million in share-based compensation expense.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Loss and Adjusted Basic Loss per Share 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 Holdings' common stockholders before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization, before income taxes and before stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, excluding certain items as described under “Earnings Highlights”. Adjusted Loss and Adjusted Basic Loss per Share represent Net Loss and Basic Loss per Share, excluding certain items as described under “Earnings Highlights”. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as liquidity measures and reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA 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) deferred finance charges and gains/(losses) on bond and debt extinguishment, (v) (provision)/recovery for losses on accounts receivable, (vi) equity in affiliates, net of dividends received, (vii) payments for drydock and special survey costs, (viii) noncontrolling interest, (ix) gain/ (loss) on sale of assets/ subsidiaries, (x) unrealized (loss)/gain on derivatives, and (xi) loss on sale and reclassification to earnings of available-for-sale securities and impairment charges. Navios Holdings believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and represents useful information to investors regarding Navios Holdings’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and pay dividends. Navios Holdings also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used (i) by prospective and current lessors as well as 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 are presented to provide additional information with respect to the ability of Navios Holdings to satisfy its respective obligations, including debt service, capital expenditures, working capital requirements and pay dividends. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as measures of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA used here may not be comparable to those used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Holdings’ 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; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt and other financing arrangements; and (iii) 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, among others, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Holdings’ 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.

Navios Logistics EBITDA is used to measure its operating performance.
