PIRAEUS, Greece, Aug. 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. ("Navios Holdings") (NYSE: NM), a global, vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2009.

"We are pleased with our performance for the first six months. We have solidified our balance sheet, originated approximately $700.0 million of long term debt financing and agreed to issue $213.1 million of mandatorily convertible preferred stock. We have also improved our cash flow by acquiring six new vessels which will generate about $60.0 million of annual EBITDA. We accomplished all of this while protecting shareholders interests", stated Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and CEO of Navios Holdings. Ms. Frangou continued, "We believe that our good reputation, strong balance sheet and significant cash flow afford Navios the opportunity to be patient while we await market developments."

SECOND QUARTER 2009 HIGHLIGHTS -- RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Acquisition of Six New Capesize Vessels

Navios Holdings agreed to purchase four Capesize vessels in June 2009 and two Capesize vessels in August 2009. All vessels are currently under construction at the same South Korean shipyard. The vessels will be employed under existing long term charter-out agreements with an average length of 9.8 years. The vessels are expected to generate approximately $60.0 million in annual EBITDA (assuming operating expense of $5,000 per day and 360 revenue days per year).

The nominal purchase price for the six new vessels is approximately $466.0 million, of which $213.1 million was funded by mandatorily convertible preferred stock (described below). The use of preferred stock that mandatorily converts into common at a price of not less than $10.00 per share effectively reduces the average vessel acquisition price to $61.1 million from a nominal acquisition price of $77.7 million.

The details of the six new Capesize vessels and their related charters are set forth in the below table:

Delivery of Three Newbuild Capesize Vessels

During June and July 2009, Navios Holdings took scheduled delivery of three newbuild Capesize vessels, constructed by South Korean shipyards. The three vessels will be employed under existing long-term charter-out contracts that are expected to generate a total annual EBITDA of approximately $46.6 million (assuming operating expense of $5,000 per day and 360 revenue days per year). These contracts have been insured by an AA+ EU governmental agency.

Navios Holdings issued a $20.0 million unsecured bond due 2012 ("Debt Security") in partial payment of the acquisition price of a Capesize vessel. The Debt Security is not convertible into any other security of Navios Holdings. Interest will accrue on the principal amount of the Debt Security at the rate of 6% per annum. All accrued interest (which will not be compounded) will be first due and payable in July 2012, on the maturity date. The Debt Security may be prepaid by Navios Holdings at any time without penalty.

Issuance of Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock

In June 2009 and August 2009, Navios Holdings agreed to issue $213.1 million in mandatorily convertible preferred stock. $52.8 million will be used to partially finance three existing Capesize vessels, scheduled for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2009, in accordance with the amended agreements.

In general, the holders of the mandatorily convertible preferred stock will receive an annual dividend equal to 2%, payable quarterly, until such time as the preferred stock converts into common stock.

The preferred shares will mandatorily convert into common stock upon the following events: (1) following the third anniversary of issuance, if the common stock closing price is at least $20.00 per share for 10 consecutive business days, then the outstanding shares of preferred stock automatically convert at a conversion price of $14.00 per share of common stock; and (2) 30% of the then-outstanding mandatorily convertible preferred stock will mandatorily convert into common stock five years from the date of issuance and any remaining then-outstanding preferred stock will convert 10 years from the date of issuance at a $10.00 price per share of common stock.

The holder shall have the right to convert the shares of preferred stock into common stock prior to the scheduled maturity date at a price of $14.00 per share of common stock.

The number of shares of common stock that may be issued ranges from 15.2 million, if all shares of preferred stock are converted at $14.00 per share, to 21.3 million, if all shares of preferred stock are converted at $10.00 per common share.

Sale of All Rights to the Panamax Vessel "Navios Sagittarius"

On June 10, 2009, Navios Holdings sold to Navios Maritime Partners L.P. ("Navios Partners") all of the rights to the Navios Sagittarius, a 2006 Japanese-built Panamax vessel with a capacity of 75,756 dwt, including a long term charter-out agreement through November 2018. The sale price amounted to $34.6 million and was received entirely in cash.

12-month Option for the Capesize Navios Bonavis (ex TBN I) - Replacing Purchase Obligation

Navios Holdings released Navios Partners from its obligation to purchase the Capesize vessel Navios Bonavis for $130.0 million and instead has granted a 12-month option to purchase the vessel for $125.0 million. In return, Navios Partners issued to Navios Holdings 1,000,000 subordinated series A units. For purposes of US GAAP, this issuance was recognized as a $6.1 million Non-Cash Income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009.

In connection with this transaction, Navios Holdings was also released, for a two-year period, from the Omnibus Agreement restriction prohibiting Navios Holdings from acquiring qualifying vessels from third parties. Navios Holdings was not released from the requirement that it offer to sell to Navios Partners qualifying vessels in Navios Holdings' existing fleet. Navios Partners also issued 20,408 additional general partnership units to the General Partner in exchange for $0.2 million.

Following the above transactions, Navios Holdings owns a 46.7% equity interest in Navios Partners which includes 2% general partner interest.

     EPS (*)                  $0.21                   $0.72

(*) EBITDA, Net Income and EPS for the three months ended June 30, 2009, were positively affected by $16.8 million gain on sale of assets, $6.1 million non cash compensation from Navios Partners and were negatively affected by $13.8 million unrealized mark-to-market losses on common units of Navios Partners accounted for as available for sale securities. Net Income and EPS for the three month period ended June 30, 2008 were positively affected by the effect of a $57.3 million write-off of deferred Belgian taxes and $0.2 million gain on sale of assets.

Revenue from vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was $107.1 million as compared to $302.5 million for the same period during 2008. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to a) the decrease in Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") per day by 43.6% to $26,684 per day in the first quarter of 2009 from $47,313 per day in the same period of 2008 and b) the decrease in the available days for the fleet by 37.8% to 3,721 in the first quarter of 2009 from 5,987 days in the same period of 2008. The decrease in days is mainly attributable to the significantly reduced short term fleet activity by 2,461 days, from 3,035 days in the second quarter of 2008 to 574 days in the second quarter of 2009.

Revenue from the logistics business was $35.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $25.5 million during the same period of 2008. This increase was mainly due to the increased fleet of Navios Logistics (which became operating in the fourth quarter of 2008) compared to the same period of 2008.

EBITDA for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008 was $53.4 million and $46.2 million, respectively. The $7.2 million increase in EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in time charter, voyage and logistic business expenses by $197.6 million from $280.5 million in the second quarter of 2008 to $82.9 million in the same period in 2009 and an increase in gains from sale of assets by $16.6 million. This overall favorable variance of $214.2 was mitigated mainly by a decrease in revenue by $185.8 million from $328.0 million in the second quarter of 2008 to $142.2 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs) by $0.9 million from $6.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 to $7.3 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in general and administrative expenses by $1.7 million from $8.4 million in the second quarter of 2008 to $10.1 million for the same period in 2009 (excluding $0.5 million and $0.7 million share-based compensation for the second quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively), a decrease in gain from derivatives by $7.1 million from $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2008 to $0.6 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in net other expenses by $10.3 million, a decrease in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies by $0.9 million, from $6.3 million for the second quarter of 2008 to $5.4 million for the same period of 2009 and an increase in income attributable to non-controlling interests by $0.3 million from $1.3 million in the second quarter of 2008 to $1.6 million in the same period of 2009.

EBITDA from the logistics business was $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $8.2 million during the same period in 2008.

Net income for second quarter ended June 30, 2009 was $22.1 million as compared to $79.2 million for the comparable period of 2008. The decrease of net income by $57.1 million was mainly due to the increase of depreciation and amortization by $2.7 million, the increase in net interest expense by $5.4 million and the decrease in income tax by $56.4 million due to the write-off of deferred income taxes of $57.3 million in the second quarter of 2008. These were mitigated by the increase of $7.2 million in EBITDA discussed above, as well as the $0.2 million decrease in share-based compensation.

(*) EBITDA, Net Income and EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2009, were positively affected by $16.8 million gain on sale of assets, $6.1 million non cash compensation from Navios Partners and were negatively affected by $13.8 million unrealized mark-to-market losses on common units of Navios Partners, accounted for as available for sale securities. Net Income and EPS for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 were positively affected by the effect of a $57.3 million write-off of deferred Belgian taxes and $2.7 million gain on sale of assets.

Revenue from vessels operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $224.9 million as compared to $607.5 million for the same period during 2008. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to a) the decrease in TCE per day by 41.2% to $27,544 per day in the first half of 2009 from $46,824 per day in the same period of 2008 and b) the decrease in the available days for the fleet by 36.7% to 7,601 in the first half of 2009 from 12,000 days in the same period of 2008. The decrease in days is mainly attributable to the significantly reduced short term fleet activity by 4,628 days, from 6,099 days in the first half of 2008 to 1,471 days in the first half of 2009.

Revenue from the logistics business was $64.4 million in the first half of 2009 as compared to $47.0 million during the same period of 2008. This increase was mainly due to the increased fleet of Navios Logistics (which commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2008) compared to the same period of 2008.

EBITDA for the first half of 2009 and 2008 was $95.8 million and $84.2 million, respectively. The $11.6 million increase in EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in time charter, voyage and logistic business expenses by $387.8 million from $562.5 million in the first half of 2008 to $174.7 million in the same period in 2009, an increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies by $2.2 million, from $8.3 million for the first half of 2008 to $10.5 million for the same period of 2009 and an increase in gains from sale of assets by $14.1 million. This overall favorable variance of $404.1 was mitigated mainly by a decrease in revenue by $365.1 million from $654.5 million in the first half of 2008 to $289.4 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs) by $2.5 million from $11.5 million in the first half of 2008 to $14.0 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in general and administrative expenses by $3.6 million from $16.3 million in the first half of 2008 to $19.9 million for the same period in 2009 (excluding $1.1 million and $1.5 million share-based compensation for the first half of 2009 and 2008, respectively), a decrease in gain from derivatives by $9.7 million from $10.3 million for the first half of 2008 to $0.6 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in net other expenses by $11.4 million, and an increase in income attributable to non-controlling interests by $0.2 million from $1.8 million in the first half of 2008 to $2.0 million in the same period of 2009.

EBITDA from the logistics business was $14.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $14.1 million during the same period in 2008.

Net income for six months ended June 30, 2009 was $34.1 million as compared to $93.4 million for the comparable period of 2008. The decrease of net income by $59.3 million was mainly due to the increase in depreciation and amortization by $4.5 million, the increase in net interest expense by $10.3 million, the increase in drydock amortization by $0.2 million and the decrease in income taxes by $56.3 million due to the write-of of deferred income taxes of $57.3 million in the first half of 2008. These were mitigated by the increase of $11.6 million in EBITDA discussed above, as well as the $0.4 million decrease in share-based compensation.

Purchase Options:

Navios Holdings has options to acquire four of the 18 chartered-in vessels currently in operation within the next two years (two Ultra-Handymaxes, one Panamax and one Capesize) and eight of the ten long-term chartered-in vessels on order (on two of the 12 purchase options Navios Holdings holds a 50% initial purchase option).

(1) Available days for fleet are total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Holdings' possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydocks 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 are the number of available days in the relevant period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a relevant period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

(3) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Holdings' vessels were available for revenue generating available days, and is determined by dividing the number of operating days during a relevant period by the number of available days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels.

(4) Time Charter Equivalent, is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a relevant period divided by the number of available days during the period.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA: EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Navios Holdings uses EBITDA because Navios Holdings believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and because Navios Holdings believes that EBITDA presents useful information to investors regarding Navios Holdings' ability to service and/or incur indebtedness.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Navios Holdings' results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) 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, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Holdings' performance.
