generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. 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

with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2017.
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 and expectations 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 operation and dry docking 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, potential liability from litigation and our
vessel operations, including discharge of pollutants, 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual and interim reports filed on Form
20-F
and Form
6-K.
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.

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 ten 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 nine month period ended
September 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 (Yang
Ming) which accounted for approximately 27.8% and 12.4%, respectively, of total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Navios Partners customers representing 10% or more of total revenues were HMM, Yang Ming 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 Manager, (which provides for a fixed management fee until December 31, 2019), 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.
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;
|
6
|
|
|
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.

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, 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.
|
(3)
|
Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Partners 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.

2016, mainly due to the increased fleet. Time Charter Equivalent rate per day (TCE) decreased to $15,588 per day for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, from $16,968 per day for the three month period ended
September 30, 2016, mainly due to the sale of the MSC Cristina in January 2017.

ended September 30, 2017 increased by $0.8 million to $1.4 million, as compared to $0.6 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2016. The increase was mainly attributable to a: (i) $0.2 million increase

and (ii) $4.0 million of management fees of Navios Containers for the period from July 1, 2017 to August 29, 2017. The increase was partially mitigated by $1.2 million decrease in management fees due to the sale of the MSC

General and administrative expenses increased
by $1.5 million to $3.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $2.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2016. The increase was mainly due to a:

increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of the Navios Prosperity I and the Navios Ace in the second quarter of 2017; (iii) $0.6 million increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of the Navios Libertas, the Navios Sol,

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. As of September 30, 2017,
Navios Partners current assets totaled $78.0 million, while current liabilities totaled $56.3 million, resulting in a positive working capital position of $21.7 million. In March 2017, Navios Partners completed its public
offering of 47,795,000 common units at $2.10 per unit and raised gross proceeds of approximately $100.4 million. In January 2017, Navios Partners sold the MSC Cristina to an unrelated third party for a total net sale price of
$125.0 million and repaid the balance of the April 2015 Credit Facility, as defined herein, of $71.0 million and the balance of the June 2016 Credit Facility, as defined herein, of $29.0 million. In April 2017, Navios Partners sold
the Navios Apollon to an unrelated third party for a total net sale price of $4.8 million. In June 2017, Navios Partners completed the acquisition of the Navios Prosperity I and the Navios Ace for a
13
total acquisition cost of $45.0 million. In July 2017, Navios Partners completed the acquisition of the Navios Libertas and the Navios Sol for a total acquisition cost of $42.3 million.
In August and September 2017, Navios Partners completed the acquisition of the Navios Christine B, the Navios Aster and the Navios Symphony for a total acquisition cost of $70.8 million. Generally, our long-term sources of funds derive from
cash from operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings to fund acquisitions and expansion and investment capital expenditures, including opportunities we may pursue under the Omnibus Agreement. We cannot assure you that
we will be able to raise the size of our credit facilities or be able to obtain additional funds on favorable terms.
Cash deposits and cash equivalents
in excess of amounts covered by government provided insurance are exposed to loss in the event of
non-performance
by financial institutions. Navios Partners does maintain cash deposits and equivalents in
excess of government provided insurance limits. Navios Partners also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.
Credit Facilities
As of September 30, 2017, the
total borrowings, net under the Navios Partners credit facilities, were $500.6 million.
Navios Partners
Term Loan B Credit Facility:
In June 2013, Navios Partners completed the issuance of the $250.0 million Term Loan B facility. On October 31,
2013 and November 1, 2013, Navios Partners completed the issuance of a $189.5 million

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 losses, allowance for doubtful accounts, reactivation costs and gain on change in control. 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 costs and other related expenses; (v) allowance for doubtful accounts; (vi) equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; (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; (xii) equity
compensation expense; (xiii) gain on change in control; and (xiv) noncontrolling interest. 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.
18
EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three month period ended September 30, 2017 was negatively affected by the
accounting effect of a $0.5 million equity compensation expense. EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2016 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a $19.4 million loss on the disposal of the HMM shares.
Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.5 million to $33.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $32.8 million for the same period in 2016. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was
primarily due to a: (i) $0.4 million increase in revenue; (ii) $2.4 million decrease in other expenses; (iii) $0.1 million increase in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; and (iv) $0.1 million increase in other
income. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $1.4 million increase in management fees due to the increased fleet; (ii) $0.6 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; and (iii) $0.5 million increase in
general and administrative expenses.
EBITDA of Navios Containers for the period from July 1, 2017 to August 29, 2017 was negatively affected by
the accounting effect of a $0.4 million relating to the reactivation costs of four
laid-up
vessels. Excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA was $4.4 million for the period from July 1, 2017 to
August 29, 2017.
EBITDA of Navios Partners for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 was affected by the accounting effect of a: (i)
$4.1 million gain on change in control from Navios Containers deconsolidation; (ii) $1.5 million allowance for doubtful accounts; (iii) $1.3 million loss related to the disposal of the MSC Cristina and; (iv) $1.4 million
equity compensation expense. EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a: (i) $17.2 million impairment loss on the sale of the MSC Cristina; and (ii) $19.4 million loss on
the disposal of the HMM shares. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.4 million to $89.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to $89.9 million for the same period in 2016. The
decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $0.8 million decrease in revenue; (ii) $1.1 million increase in management fees due to the increased fleet; and (iii) $2.4 million increase in general and administrative
expenses. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $2.0 million decrease in other expenses; (ii) $1.8 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses; and (iii) $0.1 million increase in equity in net earnings of
affiliated companies.
EBITDA of Navios Containers for the period from April 28, 2017 (date of inception) to August 29, 2017 was negatively
affected by the accounting effect of a $0.4 million relating to the reactivation costs of four
laid-up
vessels. Excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA was $6.7 million for the period from
April 28, 2017 to August 29, 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 partnerships 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 partnerships 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.
19
Borrowings
Navios Partners 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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, total debt, net amounted to $500.6 million and $523.8 million, respectively. The current portion of long-term debt, net amounted to $27.0 million at
September 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were $274.1 million and $0, respectively. The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three and
nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 was $4.1 million and $10.8 million, respectively. The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2016 was $3.0 million and $8.9 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. On November 14, 2017,
Navios Partners agreed to extend the duration of its existing Management Agreement with the Manager until December 31, 2022 and to fix the rate for shipmanagement services of its owned fleet through December 31, 2019. The new management
fees, excluding drydocking expenses which are reimbursed at cost by Navios Partners, will be: (a) $4,225 daily rate per Ultra-Handymax vessel; (b) $4,325 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; and (e) $7,400 daily rate per Container vessel of more than TEU 8,000.
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.
Maintenance and Replacement Capital Expenditures Reserve
We estimate that our annual replacement reserve for the year ending December 31, 2017 will be approximately $14.9 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.

Navios Holdings, Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (Navios Acquisition) and Navios Partners have made available to Navios Europe I revolving
loans up to $24.1 million to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the Navios Revolving Loans I). As of September 30, 2017, the amount undrawn under the Navios Revolving Loans I was $4.8 million, of which Navios
Acquisition was required to fund an amount of $4.6 million and Navios Partners the balance of $0.2 million, in October 2017. (See Note 13Transactions 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 September 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 13Transactions 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.
|
21
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 Companys board of directors determined to suspend payment of the Companys quarterly distributions in order to preserve cash and improve our liquidity. The board of directors will continue
to reassess the Companys 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 partners 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.

The Navios Holdings Credit facility:
In May 2015, Navios Partners entered into the Navios Holdings Credit Facility of up to $60.0 million. The
Navios Holdings Credit Facility had a margin of LIBOR plus 300 bps. The final maturity date was January 2, 2017. In April 2016, the Company drew $21.0 million from Navios Holdings Credit Facility, which amount was fully repaid during April

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 nine month period ended September 30, 2017, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 5.64%. A 1% increase in
LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 by $3.5 million. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2016, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average
interest rate of 4.62%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2016 by $4.1 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2017, Navios Partners and Navios Containers
customers representing 10% or more of total revenues were HMM and Yang Ming which accounted for approximately 27.8% and 12.4%, respectively, of total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2016, Navios Partners customers representing
10% or more of total revenues were HMM, Yang Ming, and Mediterranean 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 nine month period ended September 30, 2017, the Company submitted claims under this agreement to Navios Holdings for a total amount of $7.2 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 February 2017, FASB issued Accounting Standard Update
No. 2017-05,
Other IncomeGains and Losses
from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic
610-20).
This update clarifies the scope of Subtopic
610-20
Other IncomeGains and Losses from
the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets and provides guidance for partial sales of nonfinancial assets. Subtopic
610-20,
which was issued in May 2014 as a part of ASU
2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with noncustomers. The
amendments in ASU
2017-05
are effective at the same time as the amendments in ASU
2014-09.
Therefore, for public entities, the amendments are effective for annual
reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated
financial statements.
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 Companys 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 entitys 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 Companys 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
27
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 Companys 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 September 30, 2017, there were outstanding: 147,797,720 common units and 3,016,284 general partnership units. As of September 30, 2017, Navios
Holdings owned a 20.8% interest in Navios Partners, which included a 2.0% general partner interest.
Navios Containers
Navios Maritime Containers Inc. (Navios Containers), an affiliate 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 12, 2017, Navios Containers also registered and began trading on the Norwegian
Over-The-Counter
Market under the ticker NMCI.
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 to acquire five 4,250 TEU vessels from Navios
Partners for a total purchase price of $64,000. These vessels, first 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 August 29, 2017, Navios Containers closed its private placement of
10,000,000 shares at a subscription price of $5.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $50,000. Navios Partners invested $10,000 and received 2,000,000 shares. Navios Partners and Navios Holdings also received warrants, with a five-year term,
for 6.8% and 1.7% of the equity, respectively. As a result, from August 29, 2017, Navios Containers is considered an affiliate entity and the investment in Navios Containers is accounted for under the equity method due to the Companys
significant influence over Navios Containers (see Note 3). As of September 30, 2017, Navios Partners held 8,000,000 common shares and received 39.9% of the equity, and Navios Holdings held 1,000,000 common shares and received 5.0% of the equity
of Navios Containers.

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 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 partners 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 Companys
consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Partners 2016 Annual Report filed on Form
20-F
with the U.S. 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 Companys condensed consolidated financial information in connection with the acquisition of the five container vessels (see Note 5). The early
adoption of this ASU did not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 3: ACQUISITION/DECONSOLIDATION
On June 7, 2017, after its special meeting of stockholders, Navios Containers announced the approval of the acquisition of five 4,250 TEU container
vessels from Navios Partners and the charter-out contracts for an aggregate purchase price of $64,000. Out of the total purchase price an amount of $40,000 was paid from the proceeds of the private placement on June 8, 2017 and the $24,000
balance as a sellers credit by Navios Partners for a period of up to 90 days from the purchase date at LIBOR plus 375 bps. On June 30, 2017 and August 29, 2017, Navios Containers paid to Navios Partners $10,000 and $14,000,
respectively, in relation to this agreement.
On August 29, 2017, Navios Containers closed its private placement of 10,000,000 shares at a
subscription price of $5.00 per share, resulting in gross proceeds of $50,000. Navios Partners invested $10,000 and received 2,000,000 shares. Navios Partners and Navios Holdings also received warrants, with a five-year term, for 6.8% and 1.7% of
the equity, respectively. Immediately after the Navios Containers private placement, Navios Partners ownership of the outstanding voting stocks of Navios Containers decreased to 39.9% and Navios Partners no longer controls a majority of
the voting power of Navios Containers. From that date onwards, Navios Containers has been considered as an affiliate entity of Navios Partners and not as a controlled subsidiary of the Company and the investment in Navios Containers has been
accounted for under the equity method due to the Companys significant influence over Navios Containers.
On August 29, 2017, based on the
equity method, the Company recorded an investment in Navios Containers of $40,000 which represents the fair value of the common stocks that were held by Navios Partners on such date. The remeasurement of the retained investment in Navios Containers
was determined by reference to the share price of Navios Containers in the Norwegian
Over-The-Counter
Market and had no impact in Companys income statement.
On August 29, 2017, the Company calculated a gain on change in control of $4,068 which is equal to the fair value of the Companys investment in
Navios Containers of $30,000 (including the cash paid for retaining a 39.9%) less the Companys 59.7% interest in Navios Containers net assets of approximately $43,494 on August 29, 2017.
As of September 30, 2017, Navios Partners holds 8,000,000 common shares and received 39.9% of the equity, and Navios Holdings holds 1,000,000 common
shares and received 5.0% 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.

On May 25, 2017, Navios Partners purchased five container vessels, including working capital items, and the charter out
contracts from Rickmers Trust for a purchase price of $59,000 in cash plus transaction costs of $1,696. The vessel acquisitions were treated as asset acquisitions and recorded at fair value. The fair value of the vessels was $32,358 and the time
charters of $27,457. Navios Containers used the proceeds of the private placement on June 8, 2017 to acquire 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 sellers credit by Navios Partners for a period of up to 90 days from the purchase date at LIBOR plus 375 bps. On June 30, 2017 and August 29, 2017, Navios Containers paid to Navios Partners $10,000 and $14,000,
respectively, in relation to this agreement. As of September 30, 2017, the amount due and the interest payable to Navios Partners related to this agreement was $0.
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 7). The loss on sale of the vessel was $1,260 (see Note 18).

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 useful lives were 10.0 years for favorable lease terms charter out, at inception.

Loan B. Navios Partners used the net proceeds of the Term Loan B facility to: (i) to refinance the existing Term Loan B; and (ii) to pay fees and expenses related to the Term Loan. Following the refinancing of the Term Loan B facility, an
amount of $1,880 and $1,275, was

partially finance the acquisition of three vessels.
The Term Loan B facility is secured by first priority mortgages covering certain vessels owned by
subsidiaries of Navios Partners, in addition to other collateral, and guaranteed by each subsidiary of Navios Partners.
The Term Loan B Agreement
requires maintenance of a loan to value ratio of 0.8 to 1.0, and other restrictive covenants customary for facilities of this type (subject to negotiated exceptions and baskets), including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and
investments, restricted payments and dispositions. The Term Loan B Agreement also provides for customary events of default, prepayment and cure provisions.
As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding balance of the Term Loan B facility was $435,288, net of discount of $11,916, and is repayable in 11 quarterly
installments of $5,733 with a final payment of $384,138 on the last repayment date. The final maturity date is September 11, 2020.

NOTE 8 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 finance 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 Companys 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.

Fair Value Measurements
The estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, categorized based upon the fair value
hierarchy, are as follows:
Level I: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to
access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.
Level II: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are
observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
Level III: Inputs that are unobservable. The
Company did not use any Level III inputs as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

On March 20, 2017, Navios Partners completed its public offering of 47,795,000 common units

authorized and issued 2,040,000 common units to certain of the Companys directors and/or officers and 41,633 general partnership units to its general partner for net proceeds of $63. The effect of compensation expense arising from the

forfeited or expired during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and the year ended December 31, 2016. As of September 30, 2017, 10,000 restricted common units were vested.

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.

NOTE 11 INCOME TAXES
Marshall Islands, Malta and Liberia do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of Marshall Islands, Malta and Liberia, the countries
of the vessel-owning subsidiaries incorporation and vessels registration, the vessel-owning subsidiaries are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations.
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 vessels 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 12 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.

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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2017 and 2016.
