All of the financial statements have been stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). You should read this section together with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Navios Partners’ 2016 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This report contains 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 including Navios Partners’ future distributions and its ability to sustain the revised distribution, opportunities to reinvest cash accretively in a fleet renewal program or otherwise and Navios Partners’ growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy; including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further time charters. 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. Such statements include comments regarding expected revenue and time charters. These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by, Navios Partners at the time this filing was 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 known and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which 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, 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 cargo shipping sector in general and the demand for our Panamax, Capesize, Ultra-Handymax and Container vessels in particular, fluctuations in charter rates for dry cargo carriers and container vessels, the aging of our fleet and resultant increases in operations costs, the loss of any customer or charter or vessel, changes in the availability and costs of funding due to conditions in the bank market, capital markets and other factors, increases in costs and expenses, including but not limited to: crew wages, 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-F’s and Form 6-K’s. 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.

Navios Containers also registered its shares on the Norwegian Over-The-Counter Market (N-OTC) on June 12, 2017 under the ticker “NMCI”. The operations of Navios Containers are managed by Navios ShipManagement Inc. (the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, from its offices in Piraeus, Greece, Singapore and Monaco.

Our Charters

We generate revenues by charging our customers for the use of our vessels to transport their dry cargos. In general, the vessels in our fleet are chartered-out under time charters, which range in length from one to eleven years at inception. From time to time, we operate vessels in the spot market until the vessels have been chartered under long-term charters.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, Navios Partners’ and Navios Containers’ customers representing 10% or more of total revenues were Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. (“HMM”) and Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation which accounted for approximately 30.4% and 13.6%, respectively, of total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Navios Partners’ customers representing 10% or more of total revenues were Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. Ltd., Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation and Mediterranean Shipping Co. S.A. which accounted for 29.6%, 13.0% and 11.6%, respectively, of total revenues. We believe that the combination of the long-term nature of our charters (which provide for the receipt of a fixed fee for the life of the charter) and our management agreement with the Navios ShipManagement Inc. (the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings (which provides for a fixed management fee until December 31, 2017), provides us with a strong base of stable cash flows.

Our revenues are driven by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which the vessels operate and our charter hire rates, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

 

    the duration of the charters;

 

    the level of spot and long-term market rates at the time of charter;

 

    decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

 

    the amount of time spent positioning vessels;

 

    the amount of time that vessels spend undergoing repairs and upgrades in drydock;

 

    the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and

 

    the aggregate level of supply and demand in the dry cargo shipping industry.

Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to long-term which may be many years. In general, a long-term time charter assures the vessel owner of a consistent stream of revenue. Operating the vessel in the spot market affords the owner greater spot market opportunity, which may result in high rates when vessels are in high demand or low rates when vessel availability exceeds demand. We intend to operate our vessels in the long-term charter market. Vessel charter rates are affected by world economics, international events, weather conditions, strikes, governmental policies, supply and demand and many other factors that might be beyond our control. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

Table of Contents

We could lose a customer or the benefits of a charter if:

 

    the customer fails to make charter payments because of its financial inability, disagreements with us or otherwise;

 

    the customer exercises certain rights to terminate the charter of the vessel;

 

    the customer terminates the charter because we fail to deliver the vessel within a fixed period of time, the vessel is lost or damaged beyond repair, there are serious deficiencies in the vessel or prolonged periods of off-hire, or we default under the charter; or

 

    a prolonged force majeure event affecting the customer, including damage to or destruction of relevant production facilities, war or political unrest prevents us from performing services for that customer.

Under some of our time charters, either party may terminate the charter contract in the event of war in specified countries or in locations that would significantly disrupt the free trade of the vessel. Some of the time charters covering our vessels require us to return to the charterer, upon the loss of the vessel, all advances paid by the charterer but not earned by us.

Trends and Factors Affecting Our Future Results of Operations

We believe the principal factors that will affect our future results of operations are the economic, regulatory, political and governmental conditions that affect the shipping industry generally and that affect conditions in countries and markets in which our vessels engage in business. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Navios Partners are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments necessary to present a fair statement of results, in all material respects, of Navios Partners’ condensed consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2017 and the condensed consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and, accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under US GAAP for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal, recurring nature. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Navios Partners’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Fleet Employment Profile

The following table reflects certain key indicators indicative of the performance of Navios Partners and its core fleet performance (including 115 operating days of Navios Containers) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

(1) Available days for the fleet represent total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Partners’ and Navios Containers’ possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with scheduled repairs, dry dockings or special surveys. 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 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.

Table of Contents
(3) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Partners’ and Navios Containers’ 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 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: 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.

Period over Period Comparisons

For the Three Month Period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the Three Month Period ended June 30, 2016

Time charter and voyage revenues: Time charter and voyage revenues from Navios Partners for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 increased by $2.0 million or 4.5% to $46.9 million, as compared to $44.9 million for the same period in 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to the increase in TCE to $16,498 per day for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, from $16,005 per day for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, due to the increase in the freight market in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016. The available days of the fleet increased to 2,844 days for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 2,821 days for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

Time charter and voyage revenues from Navios Containers for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017 amounted to $3.1 million. Available days of the fleet were 115 days for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017 and TCE for the period amounted to $26,968.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $2.0 million or 100% to $0, as compared to $2.0 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

Table of Contents

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprising of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs of certain vessels in our fleet, amounted to $1.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $1.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

Management fees: Management fees for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, increased by $0.7 million or 5.0% to $15.5 million, as compared to $14.7 million for the same period in 2016. The increase was attributable to the management fees of Navios Containers included for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017 that amounted to $0.7 million.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $2.3 million or 86.3% to $4.9 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $2.6 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase was mainly due to: (i) a $0.1 million general and administrative expenses of Navios Containers included for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017; (ii) a $1.7 million increase in legal and professional fees, as well as audit fees; and (iii) a $0.5 million related to equity compensation expense.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $18.7 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $18.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease of $0.1 million was mainly attributable to: (i) a $1.3 million decrease in depreciation expense due to the sale of the MSC Cristina in the second quarter of 2016 and the sale of Navios Apollon in the second quarter of 2017; and (ii) a $1.2 million decrease in amortization of the intangible for the Navios Luz and the Navios Buena Ventura which were written off during the third quarter of 2016. The above decrease was partially mitigated by: (i) a $1.3 amortization expense of Navios Containers intangibles for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017 million; (ii) a $0.2 million increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of the Navios Beaufiks in the fourth quarter of 2016; (iii) a $0.1 million increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of the Navios Prosperity I and the Navios Ace in the second quarter of 2017; and (iv) a $0.8 million increase in amortization of the intangibles for the five MOL Container vessels for the period from May 25, 2017 to June 8, 2017. Depreciation of vessels is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 and 30 years for drybulk and container vessels, respectively, from the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard. Intangible assets are amortized over the contract periods, which range from one to ten years.

Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $0.2 million or 2.7% to $8.1 million, as compared to $8.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease of the Navios Partners’ average loan balance to $445.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $553.1 million for the same period of 2016. The decrease was partially mitigated by the increase in the Navios Partners’ weighted average interest rate of 5.87% for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 4.59% for the same period in 2016.

Interest income: Interest income increased by $0.7 million to $0.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $0.1 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

Other income: Other income for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $2.9 million compared to $3.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

Other expense: Other expense for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $0.5 million compared to $0 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016.

Net (loss)/income: Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $4.4 million compared to $(16.8) million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase in net income of $21.3 million was due to the factors discussed above.

Net Income Attributable to the noncontrolling interest: Net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest amounted to $0.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2017.

Operating surplus: Navios Partners generated Operating Surplus for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 of $22.4 million, as compared to $19.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016. Operating Surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions (See “Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Cash from Operating Activities, EBITDA, Operating Surplus and Available Cash for Distribution” contained herein).

Seasonality:  Since Navios Partners’ vessels generally operate under long-term charters, the results of operations are not generally subject to the effect of seasonable variations in demand.

For the Six Month Period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the Six Month Period ended June 30, 2016

Time charter and voyage revenues: Time charter and voyage revenues from Navios Partners for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 decreased by $1.2 million or 1.3% to $89.3 million, as compared to $90.5 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in TCE to $15,593 per day for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, from $15,764 per day for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, mainly due to the sale of the MSC Cristina in January 2017. The available days of the fleet decreased to 5,639 days for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to 5,642 days for the six month period ended June 30, 2016.

Time charter and voyage revenues from Navios Containers for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017 amounted to $3.1 million. Available days of the fleet were 115 days for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017 and TCE for the period amounted to $26,968.

The increase was attributable to the acquisition of the Navios Beaufiks and $0.7 million management fees from Navios Containers included for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017. The increase was partially mitigated by the sale of the MSC Cristina in January 2017 and the Navios Apollon in April 2017.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $3.0 million or 58.4% to $8.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $5.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase was mainly due to: (i) $0.1 million general and administrative expenses of Navios Containers included for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017; (ii) a $1.9 million increase in legal and professional fees, as well as audit fees; and (iii) $0.9 million related to equity compensation expense.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $35.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to $37.6 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease of $2.2 million was mainly attributable to: (i) a $2.5 million decrease in depreciation expense due to the sale of the MSC Cristina in the first quarter of 2017 and the sale of Navios Apollon in April 2017 and (ii) a $2.5 million decrease in amortization of the intangible for the Navios Luz and the Navios Buena Ventura which were written off during the third quarter of 2016. The above decrease was partially mitigated by: (i) a $1.3 million amortization expense of Navios Containers intangibles for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017; (ii) a $0.3 million increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of the Navios Beaufiks in the fourth quarter of 2016; (iii) a $0.1 million increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of the Navios Prosperity I and the Navios Ace in the second quarter of 2017; and (iv) a $0.8 million increase in amortization of the intangibles for the five Container vessels from Rickmers Trust. Depreciation of vessels is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 and 30 years for drybulk and container vessels, respectively, from the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard. Intangible assets are amortized over the contract periods, which range from one to ten years.

Vessel impairment losses: An impairment loss of $17.2 million was recorded in relation to the MSC Cristina which was held for sale as of December 31, 2016.

Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 increased by $2.5 million or 15.4% to $18.5 million, as compared to $16.0 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase was mainly due to the increase in the Navios Partners’ weighted average interest rate of 5.61% for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 as compared to 4.60% for the same period in 2016.

Interest income: Interest income increased by $1.2 million to $1.3 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $0.2 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016.

Other expense: Other expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $4.4 million compared to $0 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The increase of $4.4 million was mainly attributable to: (i) a $1.5 million allowance for doubtful accounts; (ii) a $1.3 million loss related to the disposal of the MSC Cristina; and (iii) an increase in voyage related expenses.

Net (loss)/ income: Net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 amounted to $(1.2) million compared to $(16.6) million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in net loss of $15.4 million was due to the factors discussed above.

Seasonality:  Since Navios Partners’ vessels generally operate under long-term charters, the results of operations are not generally subject to the effect of seasonable variations in demand.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In addition to distributions on our units, our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements, cash reserve requirements including those under our credit facilities and debt service, while our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and investment capital expenditures and other maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment. Expansion capital expenditures are primarily for the purchase or construction of vessels to the extent the expenditures increase the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet, while maintenance capital expenditures primarily consist of drydocking expenditures and expenditures to replace vessels in order to maintain the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet. Investment capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that are neither maintenance capital expenditures nor expansion capital expenditures. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations, proceeds from asset sales and bank borrowings.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization (including intangible accelerated amortization) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before equity compensation expense, loss on sale of vessel, vessel impairment loss and allowance for doubtful accounts. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by/ (used in) operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by/(used in) 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 finance charges and other related expenses; (v) allowance for doubtful accounts; (vi) equity in earnings of affiliates, net of dividends received; (vii) payments for drydock and special survey costs; (viii) gain/(loss) on sale of assets/subsidiaries; (ix) impairment charges; (x) non cash accrued interest income and amortization of deferred revenue; (xi) gain/(loss) on debt repayments and (xii) equity compensation expense. 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 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.

EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a $0.5 million equity compensation expense. Excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $1.3 million to $30.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $29.0 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $2.0 million increase in revenue; and (ii) $2.0 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $1.7 million increase in general and administrative expenses; (ii) $0.8 million increase in other expenses; and (iii) $0.2 million decrease in other income.

EBITDA of Navios Containers was $2.3 million for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017.

EBITDA of Navios Partners for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $1.5 million allowance for doubtful accounts; (ii) $1.3 million loss related to the disposal of the MSC Cristina and; (iii) $0.9 million equity compensation expense. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.9 million to $56.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, as compared to $57.1 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $1.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses; (ii) $1.2 million decrease in revenue; (iii) $0.4 million increase in other expenses; and (iv) $0.2 million decrease in other income. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $2.4 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses; and (ii) $0.3 million decrease in management fees.

EBITDA of Navios Containers was $2.3 million for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to June 30, 2017.

Operating Surplus

Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense, estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures and one-off items. Maintenance and replacement capital expenditures are those capital expenditures, estimated by the board of directors to be required to maintain over the long term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, Navios Partners’ capital assets.

Operating Surplus is a quantitative measure used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Operating Surplus is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

Available Cash

Available Cash generally means, for each fiscal quarter, all cash on hand at the end of the quarter:

 

    less the amount of cash reserves established by the board of directors to:

 

    provide for the proper conduct of Navios Partners’ business (including reserve for maintenance and replacement capital expenditures);

 

    comply with applicable law, any of Navios Partners’ debt instruments, or other agreements; or

 

    provide funds for distributions to the unitholders and to the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters;

 

    plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Working capital borrowings are generally borrowings that are made under any revolving credit or similar agreement used solely for working capital purposes or to pay distributions to partners.

Available Cash is a quantitative measure used in the publicly traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions. Available Cash is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

Borrowings

Navios Partners’ and Navios Containers’ long-term third party borrowings are reflected in its balance sheet as “Long-term debt, net” and “Current portion of long-term debt, net”. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total debt, net amounted to $475.0 million and $523.8 million, respectively. The current portion of long-term debt, net amounted to $36.2 million at June 30, 2017 and $74.0 million at December 31, 2016.

Capital Expenditures

Navios Partners and Navios Containers finance their capital expenditures with cash flow from operations, owners’ contribution, equity raisings and bank borrowings. Capital expenditures for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were $11.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 was $3.5 million and $6.7 million, respectively. The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2016 were $3.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively.

Maintenance for our vessels and expenses related to drydocking expenses are reimbursed at cost by Navios Partners to our Manager under the amended management agreement. In October 2011, Navios Partners extended the duration of its existing Management Agreement with the Manager until December 31, 2017. In each of October 2013, August 2014, February 2015 and February 2016, Navios Partners amended its existing Management Agreement with the Manager to fix the fees for ship management services of its owned fleet, excluding drydocking expenses, which are reimbursed at cost by Navios Partners, to its current rates of: (a) $4,100 daily rate per Ultra-Handymax vessel; (b) $4,200 daily rate per Panamax vessel; (c) $5,250 daily rate per Capesize vessel; (d) $6,700 daily rate per Container vessel of TEU 6,800; (e) $7,400 daily rate per Container vessel of more than TEU 8,000; and (f) $8,750 daily rate per very large Container vessel of more than TEU 13,000 through December 31, 2017.

Pursuant to a management agreement dated June 7, 2017, the Manager provides commercial and technical management services to Navios Containers’ vessels. The term of this agreement is for an initial period of five years with an automatic extension for successive one year periods thereafter unless a notice for termination is received by either party. The fee for the ship management services provided by the Manager is a daily fee of US $6.100 per day for 4,250 TEU and 3,450 TEU container vessels. Drydocking expenses under this agreement are reimbursed by Navios Containers at cost at occurrence.

Maintenance and Replacement Capital Expenditures Reserve

We estimate that our annual replacement reserve for the year ending December 31, 2017 will be approximately $14.2 million, for replacing our vessels at the end of their useful lives.

The amount for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures attributable to future vessel replacement was based on the following assumptions: (i) current market price to purchase a five year old vessel of similar size and specifications; (ii) a 25-year useful life for drybulk vessels and a 30-year useful life for container vessels; and (iii) a relative net investment rate.

Our board of directors, with the approval of the conflicts committee, may determine that one or more of our assumptions should be revised, which could cause our board of directors to increase or decrease the amount of estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. The actual cost of replacing the vessels in our fleet will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions, charter hire rates and the availability and cost of financing at the time of replacement. We may elect to finance some or all of our maintenance and replacement capital expenditures through the issuance of additional common units which could be dilutive to existing unitholders.

As of June 30, 2017, the amount undrawn from the Navios Revolving Loans I was $4.8 million, of which Navios Partners may be required to fund an amount ranging from $0 to $4.8 million (See Note 12 for Transactions with related parties and affiliates).

Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners have made available to Navios Europe II revolving loans up to $43.5 million to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans II”). In March 2017, the availability under the Navios Revolving Loans II was increased by $14.0 million. As of June 30, 2017, the amount undrawn under the Navios Revolving Loans II was $15.0 million, of which Navios Partners may be required to fund an amount ranging from $0 to $15.0 million (See Note 12 for Transactions with related parties and affiliates).

Limitations on Cash Distributions and Our Ability to Change Our Cash Distribution Policy

There is no guarantee that unitholders will receive quarterly distributions from us and beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2015, our board of directors elected to suspend distributions on our common units. Our distribution policy is subject to certain restrictions and may be changed at any time, including:

 

    Our unitholders have no contractual or other legal right to receive distributions other than the obligation under our partnership agreement to distribute available cash on a quarterly basis, which is subject to the broad discretion of our board of directors to establish reserves and other limitations.

 

    While our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our available cash, our partnership agreement, including provisions requiring us to make cash distributions contained therein, may be amended. Although during the subordination period, with certain exceptions, our partnership agreement could not have been amended without the approval of non-affiliated common unitholders, however, our partnership agreement can be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding common units now that the subordination period has ended. Upon the closing of the IPO, Navios Holdings did not own any of our outstanding common units and owned 100.0% of our outstanding subordinated units.

 

    Even if our cash distribution policy is not modified or revoked, the amount of distributions we pay under our cash distribution policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by our board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement.

 

    Under Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act, we may not make a distribution to our unitholders if the distribution would cause our liabilities to exceed the fair value of our assets.

 

    We may lack sufficient cash to pay distributions to our unitholders due to decreases in net revenues or increases in operating expenses, principal and interest payments on outstanding debt, tax expenses, working capital requirements, maintenance and replacement capital expenditures or anticipated cash needs.

Table of Contents
    Our distribution policy is affected by restrictions on distributions under our credit facilities that we entered into in connection with the closing of the IPO. Specifically, our credit facilities contain material financial tests that must be satisfied and we will not pay any distributions that will cause us to violate our credit facilities or other debt instruments. Should we be unable to satisfy these restrictions included in our credit facilities or if we are otherwise in default under our credit facilities, our ability to make cash distributions to unitholders, notwithstanding our cash distribution policy, would be materially adversely affected.

 

    If we make distributions out of capital surplus, as opposed to Operating Surplus, such distributions will constitute a return of capital and will result in a reduction in the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels. We do not anticipate that we will make any distributions from capital surplus.

Our ability to make distributions to our unitholders depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us may be restricted by, among other things, the provisions of existing and future indebtedness, applicable partnership and limited liability company laws and other laws and regulations.

Quarterly Distribution

There is no guarantee that we will pay the quarterly distribution on the common units in any quarter. The amount of distributions paid under our policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by our board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement. We are prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would cause an event of default, or an event of default exists, under our existing credit facilities.

Quarterly distributions were paid by the Company through September 2015. For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s board of directors determined to suspend payment of the Company’s quarterly distributions in order to preserve cash and improve our liquidity. The board of directors will continue to reassess the Company’s distribution policy as the environment changes.

Incentive Distribution Rights

Although we have suspended payments of our quarterly cash distributions, the following description of our incentive distribution rights reflects such rights in the event the distributions are reinstated and the indicated levels are achieved, of which there can be no assurance. Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from Operating Surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. Our general partner currently holds the incentive distribution rights, but may transfer these rights separately from its general partner interest, subject to restrictions in the partnership agreement. Except for transfers of incentive distribution rights to an affiliate or another entity as part of our general partner’s merger or consolidation with or into, or sale of substantially all of its assets to such entity, the approval of a majority of our common units (excluding common units held by our general partner and its affiliates), voting separately as a class, generally is required for a transfer of the incentive distribution rights to a third party prior to December 31, 2017.

The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of the additional available cash from Operating Surplus among the unitholders and our general partner up to the various target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions” are the percentage interests of the unitholders and our general partner in any available cash from Operating Surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount,” until available cash from Operating Surplus we distribute reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The percentage interests shown for the unitholders and our general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests shown for our general partner assume that our general partner maintains its 2.0% general partner interest and assume our general partner has not transferred the incentive distribution rights.

(“Navios Midstream”) initial public offering and effective November 18, 2014, Navios Partners entered into an omnibus agreement with Navios Midstream, Navios Acquisition and Navios Holdings pursuant to which Navios Acquisition, Navios Holdings and Navios Partners have agreed not to acquire or own any VLCCs, crude oil tankers, refined petroleum product tankers, LPG tankers or chemical tankers under time charters of five or more years and also providing rights of first offer on certain tanker vessels.

On November 15, 2012 (as amended in March 2014), Navios Holdings and Navios Partners entered into an agreement (the “Navios Holdings Guarantee”) by which Navios Holdings will provide supplemental credit default insurance with a maximum cash payment of $20.0 million. During each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017, the Company submitted claims for charterers’ default under this agreement to Navios Holdings for a total amount in each period of $2.3 million and $4.5 million, net of applicable deductions, of which $2.4 million and $4.8 million was recorded as “Other income”. During each of the three and six month period ended June 30, 2016, the Company submitted claims for charterers’ default under this agreement to Navios Holdings for a total amount of $2.3 million and $4.6 million, net of applicable deductions, under “Other income”.

As of June 30, 2017, Navios Holdings held an 18.9% common unit interest in Navios Partners, represented by 28,421,233 common units and it also held a general partner interest of 2.0%.

Navios Containers entered into an omnibus agreement with Navios Acquisition, Navios Holdings, Navios Partners and Navios Midstream, pursuant to which Navios Acquisition, Navios Holdings, Navios Partners, Navios Midstream and their controlled affiliates generally have granted a right of first refusal over any container vessels to be sold or acquired in the future. The omnibus agreement contains significant exceptions that will allow Navios Acquisition, Navios Holdings, Navios Partners and Navios Midstream or any of their controlled affiliates to compete with Navios Containers under specified circumstances.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We engage in worldwide commerce with a variety of entities. Although our operations may expose us to certain levels of foreign currency risk, our transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized.

Interest Rate Risk

Borrowings under Navios Partners’ and Navios Containers’ credit facilities bear interest at rate based on a premium over U.S. $ LIBOR. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest rates rise. For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 5.61%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2017 by $2.2 million. For the six month period ended June 30, 2016, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 4.60%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 by $2.8 million.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable. We closely monitor our exposure to customers for credit risk. We have policies in place to ensure that we trade with customers with an appropriate credit history.

For the six month period ended June 30, 2017, Navios Partners’ and Navios Containers’ customers representing 10% or more of total revenues were Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. (“HMM”) and Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation which accounted for approximately 30.4% and 13.6%, respectively, of total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Navios Partners’ customers representing 10% or more of total revenues were Hyundai Merchant Marine Co. Ltd., Yang Ming Marine Transport Corporation and Mediterranean Shipping Co. S.A. which accounted for 29.6%, 13.0% and 11.6%, respectively, of total revenues. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenue for any of the periods presented. Following the termination of the credit default insurance through its third party insurer, entered into an agreement by which Navios Holdings will provide supplemental credit default insurance with a maximum cash payment of $20.0 million. During the six month period ended June 30, 2017, the Company submitted claims under this agreement to Navios Holdings for a total amount of $4.8 million, which was recorded as “Other income”.

If we lose a charter, we may be unable to re-deploy the related vessel on terms as favorable to us due to the long-term nature of most charters and the cyclical nature of the industry or we may be forced to charter the vessel on the spot market at then market rates which may be less favorable than the charter that has been terminated. If we are unable to re-deploy a vessel for which the charter has been terminated, we will not receive any revenues from that vessel, but we may be required to pay expenses necessary to maintain the vessel in proper operating condition. If we lose a vessel, any replacement or newbuilding would not generate revenues during its construction acquisition period, and we may be unable to charter any replacement vessel on terms as favorable to us as those of the terminated charter.

Even if we successfully charter our vessels in the future, our charterers may go bankrupt or fail to perform their obligations under the charter agreements, they may delay payments or suspend payments altogether, they may terminate the charter agreements prior to the agreed-upon expiration date or they may attempt to renegotiate the terms of the charters. The permanent loss of a customer, time charter or vessel, or a decline in payments under our charters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make cash distributions in the event we are unable to replace such customer, time charter or vessel. For further details, please read “Risk Factors” in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Inflation

Inflation has had a minimal impact on vessel operating expenses, drydocking expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our management does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2017-03 “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323).” The ASU amends the Codification for SEC staff announcements made at recent Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) meetings. The SEC guidance that specifically relates to our Consolidate Financial Statement was from the September 2016 meeting, where the SEC staff expressed its expectations about the extent of disclosures registrants should make about the effects of the new FASB guidance as well as any amendments issued prior to adoption, on revenue (ASU 2014-09), leases (ASU 2016-02) and credit losses on financial instruments (ASU 2016-13) in accordance with SAB Topic 11.M. Registrants are required to disclose the effect that recently issued accounting standards will have on their financial statements when adopted in a future period. In cases where a registrant cannot reasonably estimate the impact of the adoption, then additional qualitative disclosures should be considered. The ASU incorporates these SEC staff views into ASC 250 and adds references to that guidance in the transition paragraphs of each of the three new standards. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements.

In November 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash”. This update addresses the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on the statement of cash flows under Topic 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments”. This update addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The amendments are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 will apply to both types of leases – capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. According to the new Accounting Standard, lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016 – 02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements and footnotes disclosures.

In January 2016, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-01, “Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10) – Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. The amendments in this update require an entity (i) to measure equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income; (ii) to perform a qualitative assessment to identify impairment in equity investments without readily determinable fair values; (iii) to present separately in other comprehensive income the fair value of a liability resulting from a change in the instrument-specific credit risk; and (iv) to present separately financial assets and financial liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheet. The amendments also eliminate the requirement, for public business entities, to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost on the balance sheet and clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets. For public business entities, the update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this new standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

In May 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, clarifying the method used to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of income. Under the new standard, an entity must identify the performance obligations in a contract, the transaction price and allocate the price to specific performance obligations to recognize the revenue when the obligation is completed. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In August 2015, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update No. 2015-14 which deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 for all entities by one year. The standard will be effective for public entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have its consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. Following is a discussion of the accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and the methods of their application that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Other than as described below, all significant accounting policies are as described in Note 2 to the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2017.

NAVIOS MARITIME PARTNERS L.P.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit data)

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners” or the “Company”), is an international owner and operator of dry cargo and container vessels, formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Navios GP L.L.C. (the “General Partner”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”), was also formed on that date to act as the general partner of Navios Partners and received a 2.0% general partner interest in Navios Partners.

Navios Partners is engaged in the seaborne transportation services of a wide range of dry cargo commodities including iron ore, coal, grain, fertilizer and also containers, chartering its vessels under medium to long-term charters. The operations of Navios Partners are managed by Navios ShipManagement Inc., a subsidiary of Navios Holdings (the “Manager”), from its offices in Piraeus, Greece, Singapore and Monaco.

Pursuant to the initial public offering (“IPO”) on November 16, 2007, Navios Partners entered into the following agreements:

(a) a management agreement with the Manager (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Manager provides Navios Partners commercial and technical management services;

(b) an administrative services agreement with the Manager (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the Manager provides Navios Partners administrative services; and

(c) an omnibus agreement with Navios Holdings (the “Omnibus Agreement”), governing, among other things, when Navios Partners and Navios Holdings may compete against each other as well as rights of first offer on certain drybulk carriers.

As of June 30, 2017, there were outstanding: 147,436,276 common units and 3,008,908 general partnership units. As of June 30, 2017, Navios Holdings owned a 20.9% interest in Navios Partners, which included a 2.0% general partner interest.

Navios Containers

Navios Maritime Containers Inc. (“Navios Containers”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, was established in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on April 28, 2017. The Company is a growth vehicle dedicated to the container sector of the maritime industry.

On June 8, 2017, Navios Containers closed its private placement and issued 10,057,645 shares for total gross proceeds of $50,288 at a subscription price of $5.00 per share. Navios Partners invested $30,000 and received 59.7% of the equity, and Navios Holdings invested $5,000 and received 9.9% of the equity of Navios Containers. Each of Navios Partners and Navios Holdings also received warrants, with a five-year term, for 6.8% and 1.7% of the equity, respectively.

Navios Containers used the proceeds from the private placement to acquire five 4,250 TEU vessels from Navios Partners for a total purchase price of $64,000. These vessels, recently acquired by Navios Partners from Rickmers Maritime Trust Pte. (“Rickmers Trust”), are employed on charters with a net daily charter rate of $26,850. The charters expire in 2018 and early 2019.

In addition, Navios Containers acquired all the rights under the acquisition agreements entered into between Navios Partners and Rickmers Trust to purchase the remaining nine vessels (the “RMT Fleet”) in the original 14-vessel container fleet.

On June 12, 2017, Navios Containers also registered and began trading on the Norwegian Over-The-Counter Market under the ticker NMCI.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit data)

 

NOTE 2 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments for a fair statement of Navios Partners’ consolidated financial positions, statement of partner’s capital, statements of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Partners’ 2016 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in our trading performance, management believes that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operation and meet its financial commitments, including but not limited to capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

The Company elected to early adopt the requirements of ASU 2017-01 effective beginning the second quarter ending June 30, 2017 and applied this guidance prospectively in the current period presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial information in connection with the acquisition of the five container vessels (see note 4). The early adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Navios Containers

On June 8, 2017, Navios Containers purchased from Navios Partners the five container vessels and the charter out contracts for a purchase price of $64,000. The payment terms included a $24,000 credit by Navios Partners for a period of up to 90 days from the purchase date at LIBOR plus 375 bps, of which an amount of $10,000 was paid as of June 30, 2017. The vessel acquisitions were treated as a transaction between entities under common control which is eliminated upon consolidation.

Vessel impairment losses

On January 9, 2017, Navios Partners entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with an unrelated third party for the disposal of the Navios Apollon for a net sale price of $4,750. The vessel is subject to an existing time charter with an unrelated charterer and was not immediately available for sale and therefore did not qualify as an asset held for sale as of December 31, 2016. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had a current expectation that the vessel would be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, and as a result performed an impairment test of the specific asset group. An impairment loss of $10,008 has been recognized under the line item “Vessel impairment losses” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations as of December 31, 2016. The vessel was sold on April 21, 2017.

During June 2016, Navios Partners entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with an unrelated third party, for the disposal of the MSC Cristina. The vessel was subject to an existing time charter and management had committed to a plan to sell the vessel to the current charterer prior to June 2017.

As of December 31, 2016, the vessel had been classified as held for sale as the relevant criteria for the classification were met and, therefore, it was presented in the consolidated balance sheets at its fair value less cost to sell totaling $125,000. An impairment loss of $17,193 for the vessel held for sale, was included under “Vessel impairment losses” in the condensed consolidated Statements of Operations as of June 30, 2016. The vessel was sold on January 12, 2017 and proceeds from the sale of the vessel were used to fully repay the outstanding amount of the April 2015 Credit Facility and the June 2016 Credit Facility (see Note 6). The loss on sale of the vessel was $1,260 (see Note 18).

On May 25, 2017, Navios Partners purchased five container vessels and the charter out contracts from Rickmers Trust (see Note 4). Favorable lease terms recognized through this transaction amounted to $27,457 and were related to the acquisition of the rights on the time charter-out contracts of the vessels.

As of December 31, 2016, Navios Partners accelerated $20,526 of amortization of the Navios Luz and the Navios Buena Ventura favorable lease intangibles due to a change in their useful life following the termination of the Charter Party and early re-delivery of the vessels from Hanjin Shipping Co. on September 13, 2016.

Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized using straight line method over their estimated useful lives to their estimated residual value of zero. The weighted average remaining useful lives are 7.9 years for favorable lease terms charter out.

NOTE 7 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying value amounts of many of Navios Partners’ financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable and amounts due to related parties approximate their fair value due primarily to the short-term maturity of the related instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits and money market funds approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.

Other long-term debt, net: The book value has been adjusted to reflect the net presentation of deferred financing costs. The outstanding balance of floating rate loans continues to approximate its fair value, excluding the effect of any deferred finance costs.

Term Loan B facility: The fair value of the Company’s debt is estimated based on currently available debt with similar contract terms, interest rate and remaining maturities, as well as taking into account our creditworthiness. The book value has been adjusted to reflect the net presentation of deferred finance fees.

Due to related parties, long-term: The carrying amount of due to related parties, long-term reported in the balance sheet approximates its fair value due to the long-term nature of these payables.

Due from related parties, long-term: The carrying amount of due from related parties long-term reported in the balance sheet approximates its fair value due to the long-term nature of these receivables.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit data)

 

Navios Partners reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. Navios Partners does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter or by sector. As a result, management reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus Navios Partners has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.

The following table sets out operating revenue by geographic region for Navios Partners’ reportable segment. Revenue is allocated on the basis of the geographic region in which the customer is located. Drybulk and container vessels operate worldwide. Revenues from specific geographic region which contribute over 10% of total revenue are disclosed separately.

Revenue by Geographic Region

Vessels operate on a worldwide basis and are not restricted to specific locations. Accordingly, it is not possible to allocate the assets of these operations to specific countries.

In accordance with the currently applicable Greek law, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies having established an office in Greece are subject to duties towards the Greek state which are calculated on the basis of the relevant vessel’s tonnage. The payment of said duties exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company and the relevant manager against any tax, duty, charge or contribution payable on income from the exploitation of the foreign flagged vessel.

Pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, U.S. source income from the international operation of ships is generally exempt from U.S. income tax if the company operating the ships meets certain incorporation and ownership requirements. Among other things, in order to qualify for this exemption, the company operating the ships must be incorporated in a country which grants an equivalent exemption from income taxes to U.S. corporations. All the vessel-owning subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria.

In addition, these companies must meet an ownership test. The management of Navios Partners believes that this ownership test was satisfied prior to the IPO by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company. Although not free from doubt, management also believes that the ownership test will be satisfied based on the trading volume and ownership of Navios Partners’ units, but no assurance can be given that this will remain so in the future.

NOTE 11 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Navios Partners is involved in various disputes and arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Provisions have been recognized in the financial statements for all such proceedings where Navios Partners believes that a liability may be probable, and for which the amounts are reasonably estimable, based upon facts known at the date the financial statements were prepared. Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will be immaterial individually and in the aggregate to Navios Partners’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

In July 2017, Navios Partners agreed to acquire from a related party one 2009 Tsuneishi Zhoushan-built Handymax vessel of approximately 58,058 dwt, for a total purchase price of $13,750. The vessel is expected to be delivered to Navios Partners’ owned fleet in the third quarter of 2017.

In May 2017, Navios Partners agreed to acquire one 2009 Japanese-built Capesize vessel of 180,274 dwt, for a purchase price of $28,300. The vessel is expected to be delivered to Navios Partners’ owned fleet in the third quarter of 2017.

In April 2017, Navios Partners agreed to acquire one 2007 South Korean-built Panamax vessels of approximately 75,511 dwt for a purchase price of $13,500. The vessels is expected to be delivered to Navios Partners’ owned fleet in the third quarter of 2017.

NOTE 15 – CASH DISTRIBUTIONS AND EARNINGS PER UNIT

Navios Partners intends to make distributions to the holders of common units on a quarterly basis, to the extent and as may be declared by the Board and to the extent it has sufficient cash on hand to pay the distribution after the Company establishes cash reserves and pays fees and expenses. There is no guarantee that Navios Partners will pay a quarterly distribution on the common units in any quarter. On February 3, 2016, Navios Partners announced that its board of directors decided to suspend the quarterly cash distributions to its unitholders, including the distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. The amount of any distributions paid under Navios Partners’ policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by its board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of its partnership agreement. The Company is prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would cause an event of default, or an event of default exists, under its existing credit facilities.

There is incentive distribution rights held by the General Partner, which are analyzed as follows:

 

          Marginal Percentage
Interest in Distributions
 
     Total Quarterly Distribution
Target Amount
   Common
Unitholders
    General
Partner
 

Minimum Quarterly Distribution

   up to $0.35      98     2

First Target Distribution

   up to $0.4025      98     2

Second Target Distribution

   above $0.4025 up to $0.4375      85     15

Third Target Distribution

   above $0.4375 up to $0.525      75     25

Thereafter

   above $0.525      50     50

The first 98% of the quarterly distribution is paid to all common units holders. The incentive distributions rights (held by the General Partner) apply only after a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.4025.

Navios Partners calculates earnings per unit by allocating reported net income for each period to each class of units based on the distribution waterfall for available cash specified in Navios Partners’ partnership agreement, net of the unallocated earnings (or losses). Basic earnings per unit is determined by dividing net income by the weighted average number of units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per unit, except that the weighted average number of outstanding units increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding unit options or phantom units. Net loss per unit undistributed is determined by taking the distributions in excess of net income and allocating between common units and general partner units on a 98%-2% basis. There were no options or phantom units outstanding during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
