Revenue from dry bulk vessel operations for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 decreased by $4.8 million, or 6.3%, to $71.1 million, as compared to $75.9 million for the same period during 2018. The decrease in dry bulk revenue was mainly attributable to a decrease in available days by 18.8%, due to the vessels sold and certain charter-in vessels that were redelivered, partially mitigated by an increase in TCE per day by 14.3% to $14,894 per day in the three month period ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $13,033 per day in the same period in 2018.

Revenue from the logistics business was $47.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $39.4 million for the same period in 2018. The increase was mainly attributable to (i) a $14.6 million increase in revenue from the port terminal business mainly due to higher volumes transshipped in the grain port terminal as well as higher revenue in the iron ore port terminal compared to the three month period ended December 31, 2018 as iron ore port terminal operations were partially interrupted from a fire incident in 2018, and (ii) a $3.8 million increase in revenue from the barge business mainly due to higher volumes of liquid and dry cargo transported. The overall increase was partially mitigated by (i) a $8.6 million decrease in sales of products mainly due to a decrease in the Paraguayan liquid port's volumes of products sold, and (ii) a $1.4 million decrease in revenue from the cabotage business mainly due to less spot trips performed.

Revenue of Navios Containers for the period from November 30, 2018 (date of obtaining control) to December 31, 2018 was $12.1 million.

Net Loss attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders was $111.2 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2019, as compared to $200.8 million Net Loss attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders for the same period in 2018.

This increase in Adjusted Net Income was mainly due to (i) a $33.5 million increase in Adjusted EBITDA (excluding $4.3 million of Adjusted EBITDA incurred in the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2018 from consolidating Navios Containers); (ii) a $4.9 million decrease in depreciation and amortization from continuing operations; (iii) a $0.4 million decrease in share-based compensation expense; (iv) a $0.4 million decrease in amortization for deferred drydock and special survey costs from continuing operations and (v) $0.7 million of minority interest of Navios Containers for the period from November 30, 2018 to December 31, 2018. This overall increase of $39.9 million was partially mitigated by (i) a $0.4 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net from continuing operations and (ii) a $0.4 million increase in income tax expense from continuing operations.

Net Income of Navios Logistics, on a standalone basis, was $2.8 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 as compared to $2.8 million of Net Loss for the same period in 2018.

Adjusted EBITDA of Navios Holdings for the three month period ended December 31, 2019 increased by $29.2 million to $74.7 million, as compared to $45.5 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to (i) a $21.7 million increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies, (ii) a $13.7 million gain on bond extinguishment, (iii) a $10.9 million decrease in time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses from continuing operations and $0.5 million time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses of Navios Containers for the period from November 30, 2018 to December 31, 2018, (iv) $5.3 million direct vessel expenses of Navios Containers (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs) for the period from November 30, 2018 to December 31, 2018, (v) a $3.6 million increase in revenue from continuing operations, (vi) $0.9 million general and administrative expenses of Navios Containers for the period from November 30, 2018 to December 31, 2018 and (vii) $0.3 million other expense, net of Navios Containers for the period from November 30, 2018 to December 31, 2018. This overall increase of $56.9  million was partially mitigated by (i) $12.1 million revenue of Navios Containers for the period from November 30, 2018 to December 31, 2018, (ii) a $2.9 million increase in direct vessel expenses from continuing operations (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs), (iii) a $6.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses (excluding share-based compensation expenses) from continuing operations, (iv) a $5.4 million decrease in other income from continuing operations and (v) a $1.3 million increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders and Adjusted Basic Earnings/(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 income/(loss) 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”. 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/businesses, on loss of control and bargain gain, (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.

We present Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders adjusts net income/(loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders for the items described above under “Earnings Highlights”. The definition of Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Adjusted Basic Earnings/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders Per share is defined as Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares for each of the periods presented.

The following tables provide a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of Navios Holdings (including Navios Logistics and Navios Containers through deconsolidation) and EBITDA of Navios Logistics and Navios Containers on a stand-alone basis:
