Three month periods
ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
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 and 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.
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.
Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, amounting to $1.7 million,
was adversely affected by a $1.5 million non-cash stock- based compensation expense. Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2013, amounting to $4.1 million was adversely affected by $2.4 million of accelerated amortization of
the intangible assets associated with charter-out contracts of two MR2 tanker vessels. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2014, amounted to $3.1 million compared to a $1.7 million Adjusted
Net loss, for the three month period ended September 30, 2013. The increase in Adjusted Net income by $4.8 million was due to:
(a) an increase of
$10.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA; (b) a $0.4 million decrease in direct vessel expenses; and (c) a $0.2 million increase in interest income partially mitigated by: (i) a $2.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization due to
the acquisitions of the vessels described above; and (ii) a $3.8 million increase in interest expense and finance cost net.
Nine month periods
ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
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 more smaller tankers (mainly MR2s), which are fixed at lower rates, compared to the fleet in the first nine month period of 2013.
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/
3
(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.
Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, amounted to $14.0 million and was
adversely affected by a $12.6 million non-cash impairment loss and loss on sale of vessel recognized for one of our VLCCs sold in May 2014, a $1.2 million non-cash fair value loss related to other assets and a $4.4 million non-cash stock-based
compensation expense. Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, amounting to $4.9 million was adversely affected by $4.0 million of accelerated amortization of the intangible assets associated with charter-out contracts of
two MR2 tanker vessels. Excluding the items described above, Adjusted Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, amounted to $4.2 million, compared to $0.9 million Adjusted Net loss for the nine month period ended
September 30, 2013. The increase in Adjusted Net income by $5.1 million was due to: (i) an increase of $24.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) a $0.7 million decrease in direct vessel expenses; and (iii) a $0.2 million increase in
interest income mitigated by an: (a) $8.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization due to the acquisitions of the vessels described above; and (b) $11.6 million increase in interest expense and finance cost net.

Available days for the fleet represent the total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition’s possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with
scheduled repairs, drydockings or special surveys. 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 or special surveys. |
| (4) |
Time Charter Equivalent Rate: Time Charter Equivalent 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 Time Charter Equivalent Rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels on various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the
fleet. |

Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA for the nine month period
ended September 30, 2014 in this document represents, net 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, net income 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 a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and present 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 a “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.

$8.6 million of aggregate EBITDA during this charter, assuming operating expense approximating current costs and 360 revenue days.
The Nave Neutrino, a
VLCC, has been chartered out to a high quality counterparty for nine months at a rate based on an adjusted BITR TD3 index with an option for an additional nine-month period. The adjusted BITR TD3 is currently $76,645 per day.
Product Tankers
The Nave Sextans, an MR2 product tanker
of 49,999 dwt, was delivered today to Navios Acquisition’s owned fleet. The Nave Sextans has been chartered out to a high quality counterparty for three years at a rate of $16,294 net per day. The vessel is expected to generate approximately
$3.5 million of annual EBITDA and approximately $10.5 million of aggregate EBITDA for the entire charter period, assuming operating expense approximating current operating costs and 360 revenue days per year.

additional six-month period for $16,664 net per day.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Acquisition stated, “The
strong increase in tanker rates has given us an opportunity to secure attractive period charters. We chartered out one VLCC for a one-year period at a rate we believe may be the highest VLCC rate since 2010. We have also maintained exposure to a
robust spot market, currently at $76,645 per day, by chartering another VLCC on an index linked contract. We will continue to charter out our fleet while lengthening our charter periods as the market allows.”
