Operating and Financial Review

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (referred to herein as “we,” “us” or “Navios Acquisition”). All of the financial statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 Acquisition’s 2013 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This Report contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward looking statements are based on Navios Acquisition’s current expectations and observations. 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 changes in the demand for product and chemical tankers, fluctuation of charter rates, competitive factors in the market in which Navios Acquisition operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in the Navios Acquisition’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Recent Developments and History

Dividend Policy

On October 31, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the third quarter of 2014 of $0.05 per share of common stock payable on January 6, 2015 to stockholders of record as of December 17, 2014. The declaration and payment of any further dividends remain subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, Navios Acquisition’s cash requirements as measured by market opportunities and restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem advisable.

Fleet update

On September 19, 2014, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Luminosity, a newbuilding 49,999 dwt MR2 product tanker, from an unaffiliated third party, for a total acquisition cost of $39.6 million.

On November 20, 2014, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Pyxis, a newbuilding 49,998 dwt MR2 product tanker, from an unaffiliated third party, for a purchase price of approximately $31.5 million.

In November 2014, Navios Acquisition agreed to acquire the Nave Synergy, a 2010-built 299,973 dwt VLCC, from an unaffiliated third party, for a purchase price of $75.5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered in December 2014.

Equity Transactions

As of November 21, 2014, Navios Acquisition had outstanding: 151,664,942 shares of common stock, 3,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, 540 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of two LR1 product tankers, 1,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued to Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) and 1,200 shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock issued in connection with the acquisition of four LR1 product tankers.

Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P.

In November 2014, Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. (“Navios Midstream”) completed its initial public offering of 8,100,000 common units (or 9,315,000 common units if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). In conjunction with the completion of the offering, Navios Acquisition contributed and/or sold to Navios Midstream, for total consideration of $379.4 million, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of four of its VLCC-owning subsidiaries (Shinyo Ocean Limited, Shinyo Kannika Limited, Shinyo Kieran Limited and Shinyo Saowalak Limited) in exchange for: (i) $214.9 million of cash consideration; (ii) 9,342,692 subordinated units and 1,242,692 common units; and (iii) 381,334 general partner units, representing a 2.0% general partner interest in Navios Midstream, including all of its incentive distribution rights. The estimated value of all the units was based on the initial public offering price of $15.00. In total, Navios Acquisition owns an economic interest of 57.5% in Navios Midstream.

In connection with the offering, Navios Acquisition (a) used $132.3 million of cash to repay bank debt and (b) replaced the four VLCCs with two other VLCCs (pending delivery of the Nave Synergy, expected in December 2014, cash is being used as collateral) and six product tankers as collateral under its Senior Secured Notes.

Table of Contents

Navios Acquisition has granted options to Navios Midstream exercisable for a period of two years following the closing of the Midstream IPO, to purchase seven VLCCs from Navios Acquisition at fair market value.

Navios Acquisition has provided a backstop commitment to Navios Midstream (a) for Shinyo Ocean and Shinyo Kannika for a period of 2.0 years following the scheduled redelivery of each vessel, at their currently contracted rates and (b) for three of the seven option vessels, for a period ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 years at the net time charter-out rate per day (net of commissions) of $35,000, if the market charter rate during the backstop period is lower than the agreed upon floor rate. Conversely, if market charter rates are higher during the backstop period, such vessels will be chartered out to third-party charterers at prevailing market rates and Navios Acquisition’s backstop commitment will not be triggered. The backstop commitment does not include any profit sharing.

Fleet

Our “core fleet” refers to our tanker vessels, including newbuildings yet to be delivered. As of November 21, 2014, our core fleet consists of 41 vessels totaling 4,184,880 dwt. The 36 vessels currently in operation total approximately 3,681,307 dwt and have an average age of 4.4 years. Navios Acquisition has currently fixed 99.4% and 56.9% of its 2014 and 2015 available days, respectively, of its core fleet, representing expected contracted revenues (net of commissions), based on the rates from current charter agreements of $236.2 million and $123.5 million, respectively. Although these revenues are based on contractual charter rates, any contract is subject to performance by the counterparties and us. Additionally, the level of these revenues could decrease depending on the vessels’ off-hire days to perform periodic maintenance. The average contractual daily charter-out rate for the core fleet is $18,549 and $16,435 for 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Charter Policy and Industry Outlook

Our core fleet, as of November 21, 2014, and after the contribution and/or sale of the four VLCCs, consists of 41 vessels, of which seven are VLCCs and 29 are product tankers chartered out for initial periods of up to four years, with the remaining five vessels yet to be delivered. Of the five vessels expected to be delivered during the remainder of 2014 and through the fourth quarter of 2015, we have already chartered out one MR2 tanker vessel for two years. As a result, the remaining average charter out period of our entire fleet is 1.0 year. Many of our charters have profit sharing arrangements (see fleet table above). We intend to deploy the open vessels that have not been chartered out to leading charterers in a mix of long, medium and short-term time charters, depending on the vessels positions, seasonality and market outlook. This chartering strategy is intended to allow us to capture increased profits during strong charter markets, while developing relatively stable cash flows from longer term time charters. We will also seek profit sharing arrangements in our long-term time charters, to provide us with potential incremental revenue above the contracted minimum charter rates.

We intend to grow our fleet using Navios Holdings’ global network of relationships and extensive experience in the marine transportation industry, coupled with our financial resources and financing capability, to make selective acquisitions of young, high-quality, modern, double-hulled vessels in the product, crude oil and chemical tanker sectors. Vessel prices in these sectors have been severely affected by the continuing scarcity of debt financing available to shipping industry participants resulting from the recent worldwide financial crisis and because charter rates for crude, product and chemical tankers that have fallen from their highs of 2008, creating significant opportunities to acquire vessels near historically low (inflation-adjusted) prices and employ them in a manner that will provide attractive returns on capital.

Factors Affecting Navios Acquisition’s 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. Other key factors that will be fundamental to our business, future financial condition and results of operations include:

 

    the demand for seaborne transportation services;

 

    the ability of Navios Holdings’ commercial and chartering operations to successfully employ our vessels at economically attractive rates, particularly as our fleet expands and our charters expire;

 

    the effective and efficient technical management of our vessels;

 

    Navios Holdings’ ability to satisfy technical, health, safety and compliance standards of oil majors and major commodity traders; and

 

    the strength of and growth in the number of our customer relationships, especially with oil majors and major commodity traders.

In addition to the factors discussed above, we believe certain specific factors will impact our condensed consolidated results of operations. These factors include:

 

    the charter hire earned by our vessels under our charters;

 

    our access to capital required to acquire additional vessels and/or to implement our business strategy;

 

    our ability to sell vessels at prices we deem satisfactory;

 

    our level of debt and the related interest expense and amortization of principal; and

 

    the level of any dividend to our stockholders.

Voyage and Time Charter

Revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which such vessels operate and the amount of daily charter hire rates that the vessels earn under charters, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

 

    the duration of the charters;

 

    the level of spot market rates at the time of charters;

 

8


Table of Contents
    decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

 

    the amount of time spent positioning vessels;

 

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

 

    the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and

 

    the aggregate level of supply and demand in the tanker 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. 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 the control of management.

The cost to maintain and operate a vessel increases with the age of the vessel. Older vessels are less fuel efficient, cost more to insure and require upgrades from time to time to comply with new regulations. The average age of Navios Acquisition’s owned fleet, currently in the water, is 4.4 years. But, as such fleet ages or if Navios Acquisition expands its fleet by acquiring previously owned and older vessels the cost per vessel would be expected to rise and, assuming all else, including rates, remains constant, vessel profitability would be expected to decrease.

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

Set forth below are selected historical and statistical data for Navios Acquisition for each of the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 that the Company believes may be useful in better understanding the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.
(2) Operating days: Operating days are the number of available days in the relevant period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a relevant period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(3) Fleet utilization: Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Acquisition’s vessels were available for generating revenue, and is determined by dividing the number of operating days during a relevant period by the number of available days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company’s efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs, drydockings and special surveys.
(4) Time Charter Equivalent Rate: Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) Rate 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 is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels of various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

Revenue: Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $15.9 million or 29.9% to $69.3 million, as compared to $53.4 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to the deliveries of eight MR2 product tankers, two chemical tankers and six VLCCs during the period from July 1, 2013 until September 30, 2014. As a result of these vessel deliveries, available days of the fleet increased to 3,476 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, as compared to 2,646 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. TCE increased to $19,327 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, from $18,835 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $1.4 million to $2.1 million, as compared to $3.5 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The $1.4 million decrease was attributable to a $1.8 million decrease in bunkers and port expenses that was partially mitigated by a: (a) $0.2 million increase in broker commissions due to the increased number of vessels in Navios Acquisition’s fleet; and (b) $0.2 million increase in other time charter and voyage expenses.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprised of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs, of certain vessels of our fleet amounted to $0.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $0.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Management fees: Management fees for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $5.7 million to $25.1 million, as compared to $19.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase was attributable to the increase in the number of vessels operating under Navios Acquisition’s fleet and was partially mitigated by the decrease in the daily fixed management fee paid for each VLCC to $9,500 from $10,000 with effect as of May 2014.

General and administrative expenses: Total general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $2.5 million to $3.9 million compared to $1.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to a: (a) $1.5 million increase due to stock based compensation recognized in connection with the issuance of 2,100,000 restricted shares and options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock in October 2013; and (b) $1.0 million increase in administrative expenses paid to Navios Holdings due to the increased number of vessels in Navios Acquisition’s fleet. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the expenses charged by Navios Holdings for administrative services were $1.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization was $17.8 million for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2014 and September 30, 2013. The increase in depreciation expense of $4.2 million due to the deliveries of the vessels discussed above, was partially offset by: (a) the $1.6 million decrease in depreciation due to the sale of the Shinyo Splendor in May 2014 and of the Shinyo Navigator in December 2013; and (b) the $2.5 million decrease in amortization expenses due to the expiration of the intangible asset associated with the Shinyo Splendor and the accelerated amortization of the intangible assets associated with the charter-out contracts of two product tanker vessels in June 2013. See Note 5: Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill.

Depreciation of a vessel is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years from the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard. Intangible assets are amortized over the contract periods, which range from 3.17 to 15.00 years.

Interest income: Interest income for three month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $0.2 million to $0.2 million compared to $0.02 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013.

Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $3.8 million to $18.5 million, as compared to $14.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase was due to: (a) the increase in average outstanding loan balance to $648.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 from $537.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2013; the weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 3.04% and 2.95%, respectively; and (b) the full interest effect of the $670.0 million of the 2021 Notes compared to the interest effect of the $505.0 million of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2017, that were extinguished in November 2013. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the outstanding loan balance under Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities was $1,282.1 million and $1,099.8 million, respectively.

Other income, net: Other income, net for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 was $0.1 million. For the comparative period of 2013, other income, net was $0.2 million.

Revenue: Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $47.9 million or 33.1% to $192.5 million, as compared to $144.6 million for the same period in 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to the deliveries of 14 MR2 product tankers, two chemical tankers and six VLCCs during the period from January 1, 2013 until September 30, 2014. As a result of these vessel acquisitions, available days of the fleet increased to 9,875 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, as compared to 6,573 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. TCE decreased to $19,060 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, from $21,256 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 due to the fact that the fleet on-the-water in the first nine month period of 2014 included smaller tankers (mainly MR2s), which are fixed at lower rates, compared to the fleet in the first nine month period of 2013.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $0.6 million to $4.3 million, as compared to $4.9 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The $0.6 million decrease was mainly attributable to a: (a) $0.7 million decrease in bunkers, (b) $0.6 million decrease in port expenses that was partially mitigated by: (i) $0.6 million increase in broker commission expenses due to the increased number of vessels in Navios Acquisition’s fleet and (ii) $0.1 million increase in other voyage expenses.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprising of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs, of certain vessels of our fleet decreased by $0.7 million to $1.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, as compared to $2.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013.

Management fees: Management fees for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $21.9 million to $71.2 million, as compared to $49.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase was attributable to the increase in the number of vessels operating under Navios Acquisition’s fleet and was partially mitigated by the decrease in the daily fixed management fee paid for each VLCC to $9,500 from $10,000 with effect as of May 2014.

General and administrative expenses: Total general and administrative expenses for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $7.6 million to $11.2 million compared to $3.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase was mainly attributable to a: (a) $4.4 million increase due to stock based compensation recognized in connection with the issuance of 2,100,000 restricted shares and options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock in October 2013; (b) $3.0 million increase in administrative expenses paid to Navios Holdings due to the increased number of vessels in Navios Acquisition’s fleet; and (c) $0.3 million increase in other general and administrative expenses, including professional, other fees and travel expenses. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the expenses charged by Navios Holdings for administrative services were $5.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.2 million to $51.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to $47.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase of $4.2 million was attributable to an increase in depreciation expense of $14.8 million due to the deliveries of the vessels discussed above, partially offset by: (a) the $2.3 million decrease in depreciation due to the sale of the Shinyo Splendor and $2.5 million due to the sale of Shinyo Navigator; and (b) the $5.8 million decrease in amortization expenses due to the expiration of the intangible asset associated with the sale of the Shinyo Splendor and the accelerated amortization of the intangible assets associated with the charter out contracts of two product tanker vessels in September 2013. See Note 5: Intangible Assets Other than Goodwill.

Depreciation of a vessel is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years from the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard. Intangible assets are amortized over the contract periods, which range from 3.17 to 15.00 years.

The increase was due to: (a) the increase in average outstanding loan balance to $586.0 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 from $520.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013; the weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 2.98% and 2.96%, respectively; and (b) the interest effect of the $610.0 million of 8.125% Senior Notes and the $60.0 million of 8.125% Additional Notes, due 2021, which were issued on November 13, 2013 and March 31, 2014 respectively, compared to the interest effect of the $505.0 million of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2017, that were extinguished in November 2013. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the outstanding loan balance under Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities was $1,282.1 million and $1,099.8 million, respectively.

Impairment loss and loss on sale of vessel: As of September 30, 2014, an impairment loss of $10.7 million related to the sale of Shinyo Splendor had been recognized under the line item “Impairment Loss and loss on sale of vessel.” As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a current expectation that, more likely than not, the Shinyo Splendor 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. The carrying amount of the asset group was more than its undiscounted future cash flows which resulted in an impairment loss. In addition, as of March 31, 2014, management reassessed the recoverable amount of a receivable and recognized an impairment loss of $1.0 million. On May 6, 2014, Navios Acquisition sold the Shinyo Splendor to an unaffiliated third party for an aggregate sale price of $20.0 million and recognized a loss on sale of $0.9 million. This loss was included under the “Impairment loss and loss on sale of vessel” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Change in fair value of other assets: As of March 31, 2014, management revalued its derivative asset at $2.3 million using publicly available trading data and recognized a fair value loss of $1.2 million in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. See Note 11: Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

Other income/ (expense), net: Other income, net for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 was $0.4 million. For the comparative period of 2013, other expense, net was $0.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements, drydocking expenditures, and deposits for vessels under construction, the acquisition of secondhand vessels, minimum cash balance maintenance as per our credit facility agreements and debt repayment, while our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and investment capital expenditures and other maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment.

We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations and bank borrowings which we believe will be sufficient to meet our existing short-term liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. Generally, our long-term sources of funds will be from cash from operations, long term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings.

We expect that we will rely upon external financing sources, including bank borrowings, to fund acquisitions and expansion and investment capital expenditures. We cannot assure you that we will be able to raise the size of our credit facilities or obtain additional funds on favorable terms.

Our contracts for the construction of our vessels are cancellable in various cases among which are, the shipbuilders’ inability to meet its obligations for delivery of the vessel until a set deadline and in accordance with its specifications, our inability to finance the purchase of the vessel, bankruptcy or other financial or liquidity problems of the shipbuilder and our inability to obtain requisite permits or approvals.

As of September 30, 2014, the remaining contractual installments for our tanker vessels to be delivered on various dates through December 2015 were $110.1 million. Navios Acquisition expects to finance $87.0 million through debt financing, $49.2 million out of which is already committed as of November 21, 2014 and the remaining $23.1 million through cash on hand.

In November 2014, Navios Acquisition agreed to acquire Nave Synergy, a 2010-built 299,973 dwt VLCC, from an unaffiliated third party, for a purchase price of $75.5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered in December 2014. The acquisition will be financed with cash on balance sheet and will be offered as collateral to the Senior Secured Notes, releasing the cash collateral currently placed.

Cash provided by / (used in) operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2013:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $90.7 million to $75.8 million for the period ended September 30, 2014 as compared to net cash used in operating activities of $15.0 million for the same period in 2013. The increase is analyzed as follows:

The net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 was $14.0 million compared to $4.9 million net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, the net loss was adjusted for the effect of depreciation and amortization of $51.4 million, $12.6 million impairment loss and loss of sale of vessel, $2.3 million for amortization and a write-off of deferred finance fees and a bond premium, $1.6 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs, $4.4 million stock based compensation and $1.2 million for loss from fair value of the valuation of a receivable.

Amounts due to related parties increased by $15.7 million from $8.0 million at December 31, 2013 to $23.7 million at September 30, 2014. The increase was the result of a $9.3 million increase of payables relating to management fees and a $6.5 million increase in prebuilding expenses and other payables, partially mitigated by a $0.2 million decrease in payables relating to administrative expenses. Please refer to relevant discussion below, under “Related Party Transactions.”

Payment for drydock and special survey costs incurred in the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 were $0.6 million and costs related to drydock and special survey incurred for certain vessel of the fleet. There was no payment for drydock and special survey cost incurred in the same period of 2013.

Accounts receivable increased by $6.7 million from $8.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, to $15.1 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 due to the increase in receivables due from charterers.

Restricted cash from operating activities decreased by $0.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 and related to the cash held in retention accounts for the payment of interest under our credit facilities.

Accounts payable increased by $0.9 million from $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 to $2.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase was mainly attributed to: (a) a $0.8 million increase in suppliers’ payable; and (b) a $0.1 million increase in various payables.

Prepaid expenses and other current assets increased by $4.2 million to $8.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 from $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The total increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets amounted to $7.7 million that resulted primarily from: (a) $6.7 million being advanced to certain counterparties for working capital purposes as per the charter contracts entered into with them with $3.3 million of the $6.7 million increase representing amounts reclassified from caption “Other long-term assets”, as in accordance with the terms of the charter contracts these are expected to be redelivered to the Company within the next twelve months from September 30, 2014, (b) $0.5 million as a result of the accrued

interest receivable on the loans granted to Navios Europe and (c) $0.5 million due to various prepaid expenses. The increase of $7.7 million was mitigated by the eventual sale of a derivative asset of $3.5 million during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.The revaluation of such derivative instrument in 2014 (See Note 11: Fair Value of Financial Instruments) resulted in the recognition of a fair value loss of $1.0 million, which is presented as a non-cash item.

Other long-term assets decreased by approximately $4.9 million to $0.6 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 from $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. The decrease of approximately $4.9 million was attributed to a $3.3 million decrease in the advances paid in connection with certain charter contracts, a $1.2 decrease due to the impairment and collection of a long-term receivable that had been recognized pursuant to the rehabilitation plan of a defaulted charterer and a $0.5 million decrease in other long term receivables. Excluding the impairment loss and collection of the $1.2 million long-term receivable above and a $0.5 million accrued interest receivable on the loans granted to Navios Europe Inc (“Navios Europe”), other long-term assets decreased by $3.1 million primarily due to the decrease in advances paid in connection with certain charter contracts and a $0.5 million decrease in other long-term assets.

Accrued expenses increased by $12.7 million to $24.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, from $12.0 million on December 31, 2013. The increase of $12.7 million was attributed to a $14.2 million increase in accrued loan interest, a $0.2 million increase in accrued voyage expenses partially mitigated by a decrease of $1.7 million in accrued professional fees.

Deferred voyage revenue primarily relates to cash received from charterers prior to it being earned. These amounts are recognized as revenue over the voyage or charter period. Deferred voyage revenue decreased by $0.6 million to $6.5 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 from $7.1 million on December 31, 2013.

The $285.0 million increase was mitigated by the $18.3 million proceeds from the sale of Shinyo Splendor in May 2014.

Net cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 resulted from: (a) a $275.7 million paid for acquisitions of vessels; and (b) $10.0 million paid as deposits for vessel acquisitions.

(1) Adjusted EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 in this document represents, loss plus interest expense and finance cost plus depreciation and amortization and finance income, before stock-based compensation of $4.4 million, impairment loss and loss on sale of vessel of $12.6 million and $1.2 million in connection with the change in fair value of other assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, there were no corresponding losses or expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 in this document represents, loss plus interest expense and finance cost plus depreciation and amortization and finance income, before stock-based compensation of $1.5 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, there were no corresponding losses or expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is presented because Navios Acquisition believes that Adjusted EBITDA is the basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and presents useful information to investors regarding Navios Acquisition’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and pay dividends. Adjusted EBITDA is “non-GAAP financial measure” 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.

While Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of Adjusted EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Acquisition results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) Adjusted EBITDA does 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. Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Acquisition’s performance. Furthermore, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Excluding the effect of $1.5 million for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $10.5 million to $39.7 million from $29.2 million in the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to a: (a) $15.9 million increase in revenue; and (b) $1.4 million decrease in time charter expenses partially mitigated by a: (i) $5.7 million increase in management fees due to the increased number of vessels to Navios Acquisition’s fleet; (ii) $1.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses; and (iii) $0.1 million decrease in other income, net.

Excluding the impact of $4.4 million for non-cash stock-based compensation expense, a $12.6 million non-cash impairment loss and loss on sale of vessel recognized for one of our VLCCs sold in May 2014 and a $1.2 million non-cash fair value loss related to other assets, Adjusted EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 increased by $24.0 million to $110.5 million from $86.5 million in the nine month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to a: (a) $47.9 million increase in revenue; (b) $0.6 million decrease in time charter expenses; and (c) $0.6 million increase in other income/ (expense), net, partially mitigated by a: (i) $21.9 million increase in management fees due to the increased number of vessels to Navios Acquisition’s fleet; and (ii) $3.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses.

Ship Mortgage Notes:

8 1/8% First Priority Ship Mortgages: On November 13, 2013, the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Navios Acquisition Finance (US) Inc. (“Navios Acquisition Finance” and together with the Company, the “2021 Co-Issuers”) issued $610.0 million in first priority ship mortgage notes (the “Existing Notes”) due on November 15, 2021 at a fixed rate of 8.125%.

On March 31, 2014 the Company completed a sale of $60.0 million of its first priority ship mortgage notes due 2021 (the “Additional Notes,” and together with the Existing Notes, the “2021 Notes”). The terms of the Additional Notes are identical to the Existing Notes and were issued at 103.25% plus accrued interest from November 13, 2013. The net cash received amounted to $59.6 million.

The 2021 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by all of Navios Acquisition’s subsidiaries with the exception of Navios Acquisition Finance (a co-issuer of the 2021 Notes).

The 2021 Co-Issuers have the option to redeem the 2021 Notes in whole or in part, at any time (i) before November 15, 2016, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and (ii) on or after November 15, 2016, at a fixed price of 106.094% of the principal amount, which price declines ratably until it reaches par in 2019, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

At any time before November 15, 2016, the 2021 Co-Issuers may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes with the net proceeds of an equity offering at 108.125% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, so long as at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes remains outstanding after such redemption.

In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the holders of the 2021 Notes will have the right to require the 2021 Co-Issuers to repurchase some or all of the 2021 Notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

The 2021 Notes contain covenants which, among other things, limit the incurrence of additional indebtedness, issuance of certain preferred stock, the payment of dividends, redemption or repurchase of capital stock or making restricted payments and investments, creation of certain liens, transfer or sale of assets, entering in transactions with affiliates, merging or consolidating or selling all or substantially all of the 2021 Co-Issuers’ properties and assets and creation or designation of restricted subsidiaries. The 2021 Co-Issuers were in compliance with the covenants as of September 30, 2014.

The Existing Notes and the Additional Notes are treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and other offers to purchase and the Additional Notes rank evenly with the Existing Notes. The Additional Notes and the Existing Notes have the same CUSIP number.

Balance due to related parties: Amounts due to related parties as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $23.7 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of which the current account payable to Navios Holdings and its subsidiaries was $5.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, and the long-term payable was $17.7 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The amounts mainly consisted of management fees, administrative fees, drydocking costs and other expenses.

Omnibus agreements

Acquisition Omnibus Agreement: Navios Acquisition entered into an omnibus agreement (the “Acquisition Omnibus Agreement”) with Navios Holdings and Navios Partners in connection with the closing of Navios Acquisition’s initial vessel acquisition, pursuant to which, among other things, Navios Holdings and Navios Partners agreed not to acquire, charter-in or own liquid shipment vessels, except for container vessels and vessels that are primarily employed in operations in South America without the consent of an independent committee of Navios Acquisition. In addition, Navios Acquisition, under the Acquisition Omnibus Agreement, agreed to cause its subsidiaries not to acquire, own, operate or charter-in drybulk carriers under specific exceptions. Under the Acquisition Omnibus Agreement, Navios Acquisition and its subsidiaries grant to Navios Holdings and Navios Partners, a right of first offer on any proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any of its drybulk carriers and related charters owned or acquired by Navios Acquisition. Likewise, Navios Holdings and Navios Partners agreed to grant a similar right of first offer to Navios Acquisition for any liquid

shipment vessels they might own. These rights of first offer will not apply to a: (a) sale, transfer or other disposition of vessels between any affiliated subsidiaries, or pursuant to the existing terms of any charter or other agreement with a counterparty; or (b) merger with or into, or sale of substantially all of the assets to, an unaffiliated third party.

Midstream Omnibus Agreement: Navios Acquisition entered into an omnibus agreement (the Midstream omnibus agreement), with Navios Midstream, Navios Holdings and Navios Partners in connection with the Navios Midstream IPO, pursuant to which Navios Acquisition, Navios Midstream, Navios Holdings, Navios Partners and their controlled affiliates generally 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 without the consent of Navios Maritime Midstream GP LLC (“the Navios Midstream General Partner”). The omnibus agreement contains significant exceptions that will allow Navios Acquisition, Navios Holdings, Navios Partners or any of their controlled affiliates to compete with Navios Midstream under specified circumstances.

Under the omnibus agreement, Navios Midstream and its subsidiaries will grant to Navios Maritime Acquisition a right of first offer on any proposed sale, transfer or other disposition of any of its VLCCs or any crude oil tankers, refined petroleum product tankers, LPG tankers or chemical tankers and related charters owned or acquired by Navios Midstream. Likewise, Navios Maritime Acquisition will agree (and will cause its subsidiaries to agree) to grant a similar right of first offer to Navios Midstream for any of the VLCCs, crude oil tanker, refined petroleum product tanker, LPG tanker or chemical tanker under charter for five or more years it might own. These rights of first offer will not apply to a (a) sale, transfer or other disposition of vessels between any affiliated subsidiaries, or pursuant to the terms of any charter or other agreement with a charter party or (b) merger with or into, or sale of substantially all of the assets to, an unaffiliated third-party.

Backstop Agreement: Navios Acquisition has provided a backstop commitment to Navios Midstream (a) for Shinyo Ocean and Shinyo Kannika for a period of 2.0 years following the scheduled redelivery of each vessel, at their currently contracted rates and (b) for three of the seven option vessels, for a period ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 years at the net time charter-out rate per day (net of commissions) of $35,000, if the market charter rate during the backstop period is lower than the agreed upon floor rate. Conversely, if market charter rates are higher during the backstop period, such vessels will be chartered out to third-party charterers at prevailing market rates and Navios Acquisition’s backstop commitment will not be triggered. The backstop commitment does not include any profit sharing.

Navios Midstream General Partner Option Agreement with Navios Holdings: Navios Acquisition entered into an option agreement, dated November 18, 2014, with Navios Holdings under which Navios Acquisition grants Navios Holdings the option to acquire any or all of the outstanding membership interests in Navios Midstream General Partner and all of the incentive distribution rights in Navios Midstream representing the right to receive an increasing percentage of the quarterly distributions when certain conditions are met. The option shall expire on November 18, 2024. Any such exercise shall relate to not less than twenty- five percent of the option interest and the purchase price for the acquisition for all or part of the option interest shall be an amount equal to its fair market value.

Option Vessels: Navios Acquisition has granted options to Navios Midstream exercisable for a period of two years following the closing of the Midstream IPO, to purchase seven VLCCs from Navios Acquisition at fair market value.

Revolving Loans to Navios Europe: Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will make available to Navios Europe (in each case, in proportion to their ownership interests in Navios Europe) up to $24.1 million under the Navios Revolving Loans. See Note 7 for the Investment in Navios Europe and respective ownership interests. The Navios Revolving Loans earn a 12.7% preferred distribution and are repaid from Free Cash Flow (as defined in the loan agreement) to the fullest extent possible at the end of each quarter. As of September 30, 2014, Navios Acquisition’s portion of the outstanding amount relating the investment in Navios Europe was $4.8 million, under caption “Investment in affiliates” and the outstanding amount relating to the Navios revolving loans, excluding interest receivable, was $5.9 million, under caption “Loan receivable from affiliates.” As of September 30, 2014, the amount undrawn from the revolving facility was $11.7 million of which Navios Acquisition was committed to fund $5.6 million.

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 in the statement of income.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2014, Navios Acquisition had a total of $1,282.1 million in long-term and short-term indebtedness. Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at rates based on a premium over U.S. $ LIBOR except for the interest rate on the Existing

 

22


Table of Contents

Notes and the Additional Notes which is fixed. 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, 2014, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 2.98% excluding the Existing Notes and Additional Notes. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 by $5.9 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, 2014, DOSCO and Navigate accounted for 25.3% and 25.0%, respectively, of Navios Acquisition’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2013, these two customers representing 10% or more of total revenue accounted for 32.0% and 22.4%, respectively.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 Acquisition does maintain cash deposits and equivalents in excess of government-provided insurance limits. Navios Acquisition also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Inflation

Inflation has had a minimal impact on vessel operating 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

The FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment” changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. We plan to adopt No. ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015.

The FASB issued ASU 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. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on our revenue recognition.

Critical Accounting Policies

Navios Acquisition’s interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Navios Acquisition to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management.

 

23


Table of Contents

The Company’s most critical accounting policies and estimates are those that involve subjective decisions or assessments and are included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013. There were no material changes to these critical accounting policies during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, except for the below:

Impairment of long-lived Asset Group: Vessels, other fixed assets and other long-lived assets held and used by Navios Acquisition are reviewed periodically for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be fully recoverable. Navios Acquisition’s management evaluates the carrying amounts and periods over which long-lived assets are depreciated to determine if events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require modification to their carrying values or useful lives. In evaluating useful lives and carrying values of long-lived assets, certain indicators of potential impairment, are reviewed such as undiscounted projected operating cash flows, vessel sales and purchases, business plans and overall market conditions.

Undiscounted projected net operating cash flows are determined for each asset group (consisting of the individual vessel and the intangible with respect to the time charter agreement to that vessel) and compared to the vessel carrying value and related carrying value of the intangible with respect to the time charter agreement attached to that vessel or the carrying value of deposits for newbuildings. Within the shipping industry, vessels are customarily bought and sold with a charter attached. The value of the charter may be favorable or unfavorable when comparing the charter rate to then current market rates. The loss recognized either on impairment (or on disposition) will reflect the excess of carrying value over fair value (selling price) for the vessel individual asset group.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a current expectation that, more likely than not, the Shinyo Splendor 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. The recoverability test was based on undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the entity’s use and eventual disposition of the asset. The significant factors and assumptions used in the undiscounted projected net operating cash flow analysis included determining the net operating cash flows by considering the charter revenues from the existing time charter until its expiration, net of brokerage and address commissions and management fees and an estimate of sale proceeds from its disposal based on market valuations for such vessel. The carrying amount of the asset group was more than its undiscounted future cash flows. As a result, the entity failed the recoverability test (step one) of the impairment test and proceeded with step two of the impairment analysis.

An impairment loss of amount $10.7 million was recognized for the period presented as the carrying amount of the asset group was not recoverable and exceeded its fair value as of March 31, 2014. Management believes the underlying assumptions supporting this assessment were reasonable.

The Shinyo Splendor was subsequently sold on May 6, 2014 to an unaffiliated third party for a net cash consideration of $18.3 million.

Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recorded when services are rendered, under a signed charter agreement or other evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is generated from the voyage charter and the time charter of vessels.

Voyage revenues for the transportation of cargo are recognized ratably over the estimated relative transit time of each voyage. A voyage is deemed to commence when a vessel is available for loading and is deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. Under a voyage charter, a vessel is provided for the transportation of specific goods between specific ports in return for payment of an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo.

Revenues from time chartering of vessels are accounted for as operating leases and are thus recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the rental periods of such charter agreements, as service is performed. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterers’ disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment of a specified daily hire rate. Under time charters, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.

Profit-sharing revenues are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the charterer’s average daily income (calculated on a quarterly or half-yearly basis) over an agreed amount and accounted for on an accrual basis based on provisional amounts and for those contracts that provisional accruals cannot be made due to the nature of the profit sharing elements, these are accounted for on the actual cash settlement.

Revenues are recorded net of address commissions. Address commissions represent a discount provided directly to the charterers based on a fixed percentage of the agreed upon charter or freight rate. Since address commissions represent a discount (sales incentive) on services rendered by the Company and no identifiable benefit is received in exchange for the consideration provided to the charterer, these commissions are presented as a reduction of revenue.

Table of Contents

Pooling arrangements: For vessels operating in pooling arrangements, the Company earns a portion of total revenues generated by the pool, net of expenses incurred by the pool. The amount allocated to each pool participant vessel, including the Company’s vessels, is determined in accordance with an agreed-upon formula, which is determined by points awarded to each vessel in the pool based on the vessel’s age, design and other performance characteristics. Revenue under pooling arrangements is accounted for on the accrual basis and is recognized when an agreement with the pool exists, price is fixed, service is provided and the collectability is reasonably assured.

The allocation of such net revenue may be subject to future adjustments by the pool, however, such changes are not expected to be material.

NAVIOS MARITIME ACQUISITION CORPORATION

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NNA) owns a large fleet of modern crude oil, refined petroleum product and chemical tankers providing world-wide marine transportation services. The Company’s strategy is to charter its vessels to international oil companies, refiners and large vessel operators under long, medium and short-term charters. The Company is committed to providing quality transportation services and developing and maintaining long-term relationships with its customers. The operations of Navios Acquisition are managed by Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) from its head offices in Monte Carlo, Monaco.

Navios Acquisition was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on March 14, 2008. On July 1, 2008, Navios Acquisition completed its initial public offering, or its IPO. On May 28, 2010, Navios Acquisition consummated the vessel acquisition which constituted its initial business combination. Following such transaction, Navios Acquisition commenced its operations as an operating company.

As of September 30, 2014, Navios Holdings had 43.1% of the voting power and 46.4% of the economic interest in Navios Acquisition.

On February 20, 2014, Navios Acquisition completed the public offering of 14,950,000 shares of its common stock at $3.85 per share, raising gross proceeds of $57,556. These figures include 1,950,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option, which was exercised in full. Total net proceeds of the above transactions, net of agents’ costs of $3,022 and offering costs of $247, amounted to $54,287.

As of September 30, 2014, Navios Acquisition had: 151,664,942 shares of common stock, 4,540 outstanding shares of preferred stock, from which 1,000 shares of Series C Convertible Preferred Stock are issued to Navios Holdings, and 1,200 shares of convertible preferred stock.

NOTE 2: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) 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 Acquisition’s condensed consolidated financial position, statements of income and cash flows for the periods presented. Adjustments consist of normal, recurring entries. The yearend condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosure required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). 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 GAAP for complete financial statements. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Acquisition’s 2013 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

(b) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navios Acquisition, a Marshall Islands corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the condensed consolidated statements.

The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities as defined in the accounting guidance, if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

(c) Equity method investments

Affiliates are entities over which the Company generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Company has significant influence, but does not exercise control. Investments in these entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company records an investment in the stock of an affiliate at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount for its share of the earnings or losses of the affiliate subsequent to the date of investment and reports the

recognized earnings or losses in income. Dividends received from an affiliate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The Company recognizes gains and losses in earnings for the issuance of shares by its affiliates, provided that the issuance of such shares qualifies as a sale of such shares. When the Company’s share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.

Navios Acquisition evaluates its investments under the equity method, for other than temporary impairment, on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

(d) Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights and/or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries if deemed to be a business combination. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

As of September 30, 2014, the entities included in these condensed consolidated financial statements were:

NAVIOS MARITIME ACQUISITION CORPORATION

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

 

(1) Each company has the rights over a shipbuilding contract of a tanker vessel.
(2) Former vessel-owner of the Shinyo Splendor which was sold to an unaffiliated third party on May 6, 2014.
(3) Former vessel-owner of the Shinyo Navigator which was sold to an unaffiliated third party on December 6, 2013.

(e) Use of estimates: The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. On an on-going basis, management evaluates the estimates and judgments, including those related to uncompleted voyages, future drydock dates, the selection of useful lives for tangible assets and scrap value, expected future cash flows from long-lived assets to support impairment tests, provisions necessary for accounts receivables, provisions for legal disputes and contingencies. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions.

(f) Vessels, net: Vessels are stated at historical cost, which consists of the contract price, delivery and acquisition expenses and capitalized interest costs while under construction. Vessels acquired in an asset acquisition or in a business combination are recorded at fair value. Subsequent expenditures for major improvements and upgrading are capitalized, provided they appreciably extend the life, increase the earning capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the vessels. Expenditures for routine maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the useful life of the vessels, after considering the estimated residual value. Management estimates the residual values of our tanker vessels based on a scrap value of $360 per lightweight ton, as we believe these levels are common in the shipping industry. Residual values are periodically reviewed and revised to recognize changes in conditions, new regulations or other reasons. Revisions of residual values affect the depreciable amount of the vessels and affects depreciation expense in the period of the revision and future periods.

Management estimates the useful life of our vessels to be 25 years from the vessel’s original construction. However, when regulations place limitations over the ability of a vessel to trade on a worldwide basis, its useful life is re-estimated to end at the date such regulations become effective.

(g) Impairment of long-lived asset group: Vessels, other fixed assets and other long-lived assets held and used by Navios Acquisition are reviewed periodically for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be fully recoverable. Navios Acquisition’s management evaluates the carrying amounts and periods over which long-lived assets are depreciated to determine if events or changes in circumstances have occurred that would require modification to their carrying values or useful lives. In evaluating useful lives and carrying values of long-lived assets, certain indicators of potential impairment are reviewed such as, undiscounted projected operating cash flows, vessel sales and purchases, business plans and overall market conditions.

Undiscounted projected net operating cash flows are determined for each asset group (consisting of the individual vessel and the intangible with respect to the time charter agreement to that vessel) and compared to the vessel carrying value and related carrying value of the intangible with respect to the time charter agreement attached to that vessel or the carrying value of deposits for newbuildings. Within the shipping industry, vessels are often bought and sold with a charter attached. The value of the charter may be favorable or unfavorable when comparing the charter rate to then current market rates. The loss recognized either on impairment (or on disposition) will reflect the excess of carrying value over fair value (selling price) for the vessel individual asset group.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a current expectation that, more likely than not, the Shinyo Splendor 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. The recoverability test was based on undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the entity’s use and eventual disposition of

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

 

the asset. The significant factors and assumptions used in the undiscounted projected net operating cash flow analysis included determining the net operating cash flows by considering the charter revenues from the existing time charter until its expiration, net of brokerage and address commissions and management fees and an estimate of sale proceeds from its disposal based on market valuations for such vessel. The carrying amount of the asset group was more than its undiscounted future cash flows. As a result, the entity failed the recoverability test (step one) of the impairment test and proceeded with step two of the impairment analysis.

An impairment loss in the amount of $10,718 was recognized for the period presented as the carrying amount of the asset group was not recoverable and exceeded its fair value as of March 31, 2014. Management believes the underlying assumptions supporting this assessment are reasonable.

The Shinyo Splendor was sold on May 6, 2014 to an unaffiliated third party for a net cash consideration of $18,315 (refer to note 4 “Vessels, Net”).

(h) Series D Preferred Stock: Navios Acquisition issued shares of its authorized Series D Preferred Stock (nominal and fair value $12,000) to a shipyard, in partial settlement of the purchase price of certain newbuilding vessels. The Series D Preferred Stock includes a 6% per annum dividend payable quarterly, starting one year after delivery of each vessel. The Series D Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert into shares of common stock 30 months after issuance at a price per share of common stock equal to $10.00. The holder of Series D Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert the shares of the preferred stock into common stock prior to the scheduled maturity dates at a price of $7.00 per share of common stock. The Series D Preferred Stock does not have any voting rights. Navios Acquisition is obligated to redeem the Series D Preferred Stock (or converted common shares) at holder’s option exercisable beginning on 18 months after issuance, at par, payable at up to 12 equal quarterly installments.

The fair value of the Series D Preferred Stock, was determined using a combination of the Black Scholes model and discounted projected cash flows for the conversion option and put, respectively. The model used takes into account the credit spread of Navios Acquisition, the volatility of its stock, as well as the price of its stock at the issuance date. The Series D Preferred Stock is classified as temporary equity (i.e., apart from permanent equity) as a result of the redemption feature upon exercise of the put option granted to the holder of the Series D Preferred Stock.

(i) Revenue Recognition: Revenue is recorded when services are rendered, under a signed charter agreement or other evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. Revenue is generated from the voyage charter and the time charter of vessels.

Voyage revenues for the transportation of cargo are recognized ratably over the estimated relative transit time of each voyage. A voyage is deemed to commence when a vessel is available for loading and is deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. Estimated losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses on voyages are provided for in full at the time such losses become evident. Under a voyage charter, a vessel is provided for the transportation of specific goods between specific ports in return for payment of an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo.

Revenues from time chartering of vessels are accounted for as operating leases and are thus recognized on a straight-line basis as the average revenue over the rental periods of such charter agreements, as service is performed. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterers’ disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment of a specified daily hire rate. Under time charters, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.

Profit sharing revenues are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the charterer’s average daily income (calculated on a quarterly or half-yearly basis) over an agreed amount and accounted for on an accrual basis based on provisional amounts and for those contracts that provisional accruals cannot be made due to the nature of the profit sharing elements, these are accounted for on the actual cash settlement.

Revenues are recorded net of address commissions. Address commissions represent a discount provided directly to the charterers based on a fixed percentage of the agreed upon charter or freight rate. Since address commissions represent a discount (sales incentive) on services rendered by the Company and no identifiable benefit is received in exchange for the consideration provided to the charterer, these commissions are presented as a reduction of revenue.

Pooling arrangements: For vessels operating in pooling arrangements, the Company earns a portion of total revenues generated by the pool, net of expenses incurred by the pool. The amount allocated to each pool participant vessel, including the Company’s vessels, is determined in accordance with an agreed-upon formula, which is determined by points awarded to each vessel in the pool based on the vessel’s age, design and other performance characteristics. Revenue under pooling arrangements is accounted for on the accrual basis and is recognized when an agreement with the pool exists, price is fixed, service is provided and the collectability is reasonably assured.

The allocation of such net revenue may be subject to future adjustments by the pool however, such changes are not expected to be material.

NOTE 7: INVESTMENT IN NAVIOS EUROPE INC.

On October 9, 2013, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners established Navios Europe Inc. (“Navios Europe”) and have ownership interests of 47.5%, 47.5% and 5.0%, respectively. On December 18, 2013, Navios Europe acquired ten vessels for aggregate consideration consisting of (i) cash consideration of $127,753 (which was funded with the proceeds of a $117,753 senior loan facility (the “Senior Loan”), and loans aggregating $10,000 from Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners (in each case, in proportion to their ownership interests in Navios Europe) (collectively, the “Navios Term Loans”) and (ii) the assumption of a junior participating loan facility (the “Junior Loan”) with a face amount of $173,367 and fair value of $71,929 as of December 31, 2013. In addition to the Navios Term Loans, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will also make available to Navios Europe (in each case, in proportion to their ownership interests in Navios Europe) revolving loans up to $24,100 to fund working capital requirements, (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans”).

On an ongoing basis, Navios Europe is required to distribute cash flows (after payment of operating expenses, amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loan and repayments of the Navios Revolving Loans) according to a defined waterfall calculation as follows:

 

    First, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners will each earn a 12.7% preferred distribution on the Navios Term Loans and the Navios Revolving Loans; and

 

    Second, any remaining cash is then distributed on an 80%/20% basis, respectively, between (i) the Junior Loan holder and (ii) the holders of the Navios Term Loans.

The Navios Term Loan will be repaid from the future sale of vessels owned by Navios Europe and is deemed to be the initial investment by Navios Acquisition. Navios Acquisition evaluated its investment in Navios Europe under ASC 810 and concluded that Navios Europe is a VIE and that they are not the party most closely associated with Navios Europe and, accordingly, is not the primary beneficiary of Navios Europe based on the following:

 

    the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Navios Europe are shared jointly between (i) Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners and (ii) and the Junior Loan holder; and

 

    while Navios Europe’s residual is shared on an 80%/20% basis, respectively, between (i) the Junior Loan holder and (ii) Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners, the Junior Loan holder is exposed to a substantial portion of Navios Europe’s risks and rewards.

Navios Acquisition further evaluated its investment in the common stock of Navios Europe under ASC 323 and concluded that it has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of Navios Europe and, therefore, its investment in Navios Europe is accounted for under the equity method.

As of September 30, 2014, the estimated maximum potential loss by Navios Acquisition in Navios Europe would have been $11,714, which represents the Company’s portion of the initial investment of $4,750, equity method investee income of $123, the Company’s portion of the carrying balance of the Navios Revolving Loans of $6,366 and the accrued interest receivable in the amount of $475 which is included under “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”. Refer to Note 10 for the terms of the Navios Revolving Loans.

In addition, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the holders of the notes will have the right to require the 2021 Co-Issuers to repurchase some or all of the 2021 Notes at 101% of their face amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the repurchase date.

The convertible preferred stock is classified as temporary equity (i.e., apart from permanent equity) as a result of the redemption feature upon exercise of the put option granted to the holder of the preferred stock.

As of each of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 1,200 shares of Series D Preferred Stock were outstanding.

Stock based compensation

In October 2013, Navios Acquisition authorized and issued to its directors in the aggregate of 2,100,000 restricted shares of common stock and options to purchase 1,500,000 shares of common stock having an exercise price of $3.91 per share and an expiration term of 10 years. These awards of restricted common stock and stock options are based on service conditions only and vest over a period of over three years. The holders of restricted stock are entitled to dividends paid on the same schedule as paid to the common stockholders of the company. The fair value of restricted stock is determined by reference to the quoted stock price on the date of grant of $3.99 per share (or total fair value of $8,379).

The fair value of stock option grants is determined with reference to option pricing model, and principally adjusted Black-Scholes models, using historical volatility, historical dividend yield, zero forfeiture rate, risk free rate equal to 10-year US treasury bond and the simplified method for determining the expected option term since the Company does not have sufficient historical exercise data upon which to have a reasonable basis to estimate the expected option term. The fair value of stock options was calculated to $0.79 per option (or $1,188). Compensation expense is recognized based on a graded expense model over the vesting period of three years from the date of the grant.

The effect of compensation expense arising from the stock-based arrangements described above amounted to $4,374, for the period ended September 30, 2014, and was reflected in general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations. The recognized compensation expense for the year was presented as adjustment to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities on the statements of cash flows.

There were no restricted stock or stock options exercised, forfeited or expired during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. Restricted shares outstanding and non-vested amounted to 2,100,000 shares as of September 30, 2014 and the number of stock options outstanding and non-vested as of September 30, 2014 amounted to 1,500,000. There were no stock options exercisable as of September 30, 2014.

The estimated compensation cost relating to service conditions of non-vested (a) stock options and (b) restricted stock not yet recognized was $510 and $3,595, respectively, as of September 30, 2014 and is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 2.07 years. The weighted average contractual life of stock options outstanding as at September 30, 2014 was 9.1 years.

Common Stock

On February 20, 2014, Navios Acquisition completed the public offering of 14,950,000 shares of its common stock at $3.85 per share, raising gross proceeds of $57,556. These figures include 1,950,000 shares sold pursuant to the underwriters’ option, which was exercised in full. Total net proceeds of the above transactions, net of agents’ costs of $3,022 and offering costs of $247, amounted to $54,287.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company was authorized to issue 250,000,000 shares of $0.0001 par value common stock.

NOTE 15: SEGMENT INFORMATION

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

The following table sets out operating revenue by geographic region for Navios Acquisition’s reportable segment. Revenue is allocated on the basis of the geographic region in which the customer is located. Tanker vessels operate worldwide. Revenues from specific geographic regions 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.

NOTE 16: EARNINGS/ (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

Earnings/(Loss) per share is calculated by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock of Navios Acquisition outstanding during the period.

Potential common shares of 14,406,286 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, and 10,806,286 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 (which include Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock, Restricted Stock and Stock Options, wherever applicable) have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

Potential common shares of 13,206,286 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, and 10,806,286 for the three month period ended September 30, 2013 (which include Series A, Series B, Series C and Series D Preferred Stock, Restricted Stock and Stock Options, wherever applicable) have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per share or decrease loss per share) and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share.

NOTE 17: INCOME TAXES

Marshall Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong, do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of Marshall Islands, of the companies’ incorporation and vessels’ registration, the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in the daily management fee.

As of January 1, 2013, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies in Greece are subject to duties towards the Greek state which are calculated on the basis of the relevant vessels’ tonnage. The payment of such 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. The amount included in Navios Acquisition’s statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, related to the Greek Tonnage tax was $115 and $136, respectively, and for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, related to the Greek Tonnage tax was $7 and $89, respectively.

Pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the “Code”), 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 Navios Acquisition’s ship-operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these companies must meet an ownership test. Subject to proposed regulations becoming finalized in their current form, the management of Navios Acquisition believes by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company like Navios Acquisition, the second criterion can also be satisfied based on the trading volume and ownership of the Company’s shares, but no assurance can be given that this will remain so in the future.

NOTE 18: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

The FASB issued No. ASU 2014-08 “Presentation of Financial Statements and Property, Plant and Equipment” changing the presentation of discontinued operations on the statements of income and other requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new standard, a disposal of a component or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component meets the criteria to be classified as held-for-sale or is disposed. The amendments in this update also require additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations. The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014. We plan to adopt No. ASU 2014-08 effective January 1, 2015.

The FASB issued ASU 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. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently reviewing the effect of ASU No. 2014-09 on our revenue recognition.

NOTE 19: SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 31, 2014, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the third quarter of 2014 of $0.05 per share of common stock payable on January 6, 2015 to stockholders of record as of December 17, 2014. The declaration and payment of any further dividends remain subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, Navios Acquisition’s cash requirements as measured by market opportunities and restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem advisable.

On November 11, 2014, Navios Acquisition entered into a short term credit facility with Navios Holdings pursuant to which Navios Acquisition may borrow up to $200,000 for general corporate purposes. The loan provides for an arrangement fee of $4,000, matures on December 29, 2014 and bears a fixed interest of 600 bps. As of November 21, 2014, the amount outstanding under the credit facility was $29,650.

In November 2014, Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. (“Navios Midstream”) completed its initial public offering of 8,100,000 common units (or 9,315,000 common units if the underwriters exercise their over-allotment option in full). In conjunction with the completion of the offering, Navios Acquisition contributed and/or sold to Navios Midstream, for total consideration of $379,354, all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of four of its VLCC-owning subsidiaries (Shinyo Ocean Limited, Shinyo Kannika Limited, Shinyo Kieran Limited and Shinyo Saowalak Limited) in exchange for: (i) $214,853 of cash consideration; (ii) 9,342,692 subordinated units and 1,242,692 common units; and (iii) 381,334 general partner units, representing a 2.0% general partner interest in Navios Midstream, including all of its incentive distribution rights. The estimated value of all the units was based on the initial public offering price of $15.00. In total, Navios Acquisition owns an economic interest of 57.5% in Navios Midstream.

In connection with the offering, Navios Acquisition (a) used $132,311 of cash to repay bank debt and (b) replaced the four VLCCs with two other VLCCs (pending delivery of the Nave Synergy, expected in December 2014, cash is being used as collateral) and six product tankers as collateral under its Senior Secured Notes.

Navios Acquisition has granted options to Navios Midstream exercisable for a period of two years following the closing of the Midstream IPO, to purchase seven VLCCs from Navios Acquisition at fair market value.

Navios Acquisition has provided a backstop commitment to Navios Midstream (a) for Shinyo Ocean and Shinyo Kannika for a period of 2.0 years following the scheduled redelivery of each vessel, at their currently contracted rates and (b) for three of the seven option vessels, for a period ranging from 2.0 to 4.0 years at the net time charter-out rate per day (net of commissions) of $35,000, if the market charter rate during the backstop period is lower than the agreed upon floor rate. Conversely, if market charter rates are higher during the backstop period, such vessels will be chartered out to third-party charterers at prevailing market rates and Navios Acquisition’s backstop commitment will not be triggered. The backstop commitment does not include any profit sharing.

On November 20, 2014, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Pyxis, a newbuilding 49,998 dwt MR2 product tanker, from an unaffiliated third party, for a purchase price of approximately $31,500.

In November 2014, Navios Acquisition agreed to acquire the Nave Synergy, a 2010-built 299,973 dwt VLCC, from an unaffiliated third party, for a purchase price of $75,500. The vessel is expected to be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2014.
