MONACO, Feb. 13, 2025 (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 fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.



Angeliki Frangou, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners stated, “I am pleased with the results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2024. For the full year, we reported revenue of $1.33 billion, and for the quarter, we reported revenue of $332.5 million. We also reported net income of $367.3 million for the full year and $94.7 million for the fourth quarter. Earnings per common unit were $11.98 for the full year and $3.11 for the fourth quarter.”



Angeliki Frangou continued, “Since the pandemic, our markets have been driven primarily by geopolitical events and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. We don’t know how these conflicts will be resolved. We also don't know the extent to which nations will be subject to continuing or even expanded sanctions. In our view, the resolution of the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East may involve significant sanctions on oil-producing nations, materially impacting world trade. In addition, the U.S. administration has been vocal about its new tariff scheme but has not yet provided a complete roadmap. We cannot now fully understand the impact on global trade until this develops further.”




Common unit repurchases



As of December 31, 2024 and February 7, 2025, pursuant to its previously announced common unit repurchase program, Navios Partners repurchased 489,955 and 585,420 common units, respectively, for aggregate cash consideration of approximately $25.0 million and $29.2 million, respectively. As of February 7, 2025, there were 29,598,968 common units outstanding.




Cash distribution



The Board of Directors of Navios Partners declared a cash distribution for the fourth quarter of 2024 of $0.05 per unit. The cash distribution will be paid on February 13, 2025 to unitholders of record as of February 10, 2025. 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023




Time charter and voyage revenues for the three month period ended December 31, 2024 increased by $5.2 million, or 1.6%, to $332.5 million, as compared to $327.3 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate and the increase in the available days of our fleet. For the three month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, time charter and voyage revenues were negatively affected by $3.0 million and $10.5 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 $23,205 per day, as compared to $22,625 per day for the same period in 2023. The available days of the fleet increased by 1.1% to 13,671 days for the three month period ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 13,527 days for the same period in 2023 mainly due to the deliveries of newbuilding vessels, partially mitigated by the sale of vessels.



EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $44.9 million to $182.2 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $227.1 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $54.5 million decrease in other income mainly due to the prepayment of hire received in the three month period ended December 31, 2023 for the early termination of the charter parties of two containerships; (ii) $7.0 million increase in vessel operating expenses mainly due to the change in the composition of our fleet with deliveries and sales of vessels and the adjustment of the fixed daily fee in accordance with our management agreements; and (iii) $1.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses in accordance with our administrative services agreement. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $9.1 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 fourth quarter of 2024 and the decrease in bareboat and charter-in hire expenses of the dry bulk fleet; (ii) $5.2 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; and (iii) $4.0 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items).



Net Income for the three month periods ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income decreased by $53.6 million to $79.3 million for the three month period ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $132.9 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to a: (i) $44.9 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA; and (ii) $9.3 million negative impact from the depreciation and amortization, that primarily resulted from a $5.2 million increase in the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items, a $3.8 million increase in the depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and a $0.3 million decrease in the amortization of unfavorable lease terms. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $0.5 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net and; and (ii) $0.1 million increase in interest income.





Years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023




Time charter and voyage revenues for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $27.2 million, or 2.1%, to $1,334.1 million, as compared to $1,306.9 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in TCE rate, partially mitigated by the decrease in the available days of our fleet. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, time charter and voyage revenues were positively affected by $1.9 million and negatively affected by $40.7 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 $22,924 per day, as compared to $22,337 per day for the same period in 2023. The available days of the fleet slightly decreased by 0.9% to 54,261 days for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 54,766 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 years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $16.0 million to $731.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $747.6 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $47.4 million decrease in other income mainly due to the prepayment of hire received in the year ended December 31, 2023 for the early termination of the charter parties of two containerships; (ii) $17.5 million increase in vessel operating expenses mainly due to the change in the composition of our fleet with deliveries and sales of vessels and the adjustment of the fixed daily fee in accordance with our management agreements; and (iii) $4.6 million increase in general and administrative expenses in accordance with our administrative services agreement. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $27.2 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; (ii) $13.8 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 and the decrease in bunker expenses arising from the decreased days of freight voyages in 2024; and (iii) $12.5 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items).



Net Income for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income decreased by $41.9 million to $341.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to $383.4 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to a: (i) $38.1 million negative impact from the depreciation and amortization, that primarily resulted from a $20.2 million increase in the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items, a $10.7 million increase in the depreciation and amortization of intangible assets and a $7.2 million decrease in the amortization of unfavorable lease terms; and (ii) $16.0 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $9.1 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net; and (ii) $3.1 million increase in interest income.

(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. 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.

This press release contains and will contain forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events, TCE rates and Navios Partners’ expected cash flow generation, future contracted revenues, future distributions and its ability to make distributions going forward, opportunities to reinvest cash accretively in a fleet renewal program or otherwise, potential capital gains, its ability to take advantage of dislocation in the market and Navios Partners’ growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy, including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further time charters and Navios Partners’ ability to refinance its debt on attractive terms, or at all. Words such as “may,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “hopes,” “estimates,” and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.



These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by Navios Partners at the time these statements were made. Although Navios Partners believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements involve risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Navios Partners. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.



Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, risks relating to: global and regional economic and political conditions including global economic activity, demand for seaborne transportation of the products we ship, the ability and willingness of charterers to fulfill their obligations to us and prevailing charter rates, the economic condition of the markets in which we operate, shipyards performing scrubber installations, construction of newbuilding vessels, drydocking and repairs, changing vessel crews and availability of financing; potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, wars, sanctions, diseases, pandemics, political events, piracy or acts by terrorists; uncertainty relating to global trade, including prices of seaborne commodities and continuing issues related to seaborne volume and ton miles, our continued ability to enter into long-term time charters, our ability to maximize the use of our vessels, expected demand in the dry and liquid cargo shipping sectors in general and the demand for our dry bulk, containerships and tanker vessels in particular, fluctuations in charter rates for dry bulk, containerships and tanker vessels, the aging of our fleet and resultant increases in operations costs, the loss of any customer or charter or vessel, the financial condition of our customers, changes in the availability and costs of funding due to conditions in the bank market, capital markets and other factors, fluctuation in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, increases in costs and expenses, including but not limited to: crew, insurance, provisions, port expenses, lube oil, bunkers, repairs, maintenance and general and administrative expenses, the expected cost of, and our ability to comply with, governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards, as well as standard regulations imposed by our charterers applicable to our business, general domestic and international political conditions, competitive factors in the market in which Navios Partners operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in Navios Partners’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 20-Fs and Form 6-Ks. Navios Partners expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Navios Partners’ expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Navios Partners makes no prediction or statement about the performance of its common units.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures



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 decrease/ (increase) 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/ (loss) 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.
