Recent Developments

Liquidation of Navios Europe (II) Inc. (“Navios Europe II”)

Navios Europe II, an entity in which Navios Holdings holds a 47.5% economic interest, is the owner of seven container vessels and seven dry bulk vessels. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings had a receivable of approximately $31.5 million from Navios Europe II. Following the decision of the shareholders of Navios Europe II in May 2020 to liquidate the structure, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors, approved the allocation of assets. As part of the transaction, it is anticipated that Navios Holdings will receive cash subject to working capital adjustments at closing and will acquire two unencumbered Panamax dry bulk vessels. As a result of the liquidation, the receivable will be deemed repaid in full. Closing is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2020. No assurances can be provided that definitive agreements will be executed or that the transaction will be completed in whole or in part.

Overview

General

Navios Holdings is a global seaborne shipping and logistics company focused on the transport and transshipment of dry bulk commodities, including iron ore, coal and grain. In August 2019, Navios Holdings sold its ship management division, and the general partnership interests in Navios Partners (except for the incentive distribution rights) and Navios Containers GP LLC (the “Transaction”) to N Shipmanagement Acquisition Corp. and related entities (“NSM” or the “Manager”) affiliated with Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Angeliki Frangou. The Company entered into five-year service agreements under which NSM provides technical and commercial management services at a fixed rate of $3,700 per day per vessel until August 2021 and administrative services, reimbursed at allocable cost. See also “Related Party Transactions”. Following the sale of Navios Containers’ general partnership interest, Navios Holdings lost control and deconsolidated Navios Containers from that date onwards. The results of operations of Navios Containers for the period consolidated under Navios Holdings have been reported as discontinued operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 presented herein.

Navios Logistics

Navios South American Logistics Inc. (“Navios Logistics”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, is one of the largest logistics companies in the Hidrovia region of South America, with the region’s second largest barge fleet and its third largest cabotage fleet. Navios Logistics is focused on the Hidrovia river system, the main navigable river system in the region, and on cabotage trades along the eastern coast of South America. Navios Logistics provides its customers with integrated transportation, storage and related services through its port facilities, its large, versatile fleet of dry and liquid cargo barges and its product tankers. Navios Logistics serves the needs of a number of growing South American industries, including mineral and grain commodity providers as well as users of refined petroleum products. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings owned 63.8% of Navios Logistics.

Affiliates (not consolidated under Navios Holdings)

Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) (NYSE: NMM) is an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels and is engaged in seaborne transportation services of a wide range of dry cargo commodities including iron ore, coal, grain, fertilizer and also containerships, chartering its vessels under medium to long-term charters. In January 2019, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized a common unit repurchase program for up to $50.0 million of Navios Partners’ common units over a two-year period. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Partners repurchased 312,952 common units. As of March 31, 2020, and following the sale of Navios Partners’ general partnership interest (see also Note 3 included elsewhere in this Report), Navios Holdings owned an 18.5% interest in Navios Partners. Incentive distribution rights are held by a consolidated subsidiary of Navios Holdings.

Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”) (NYSE: NNA), an affiliate (former subsidiary) of the Company, is an owner and operator of tanker vessels focusing on the transportation of petroleum products (clean and dirty) and bulk liquid chemicals. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings’ owned a 30.8% interest in Navios Acquisition.

Navios Maritime Containers L.P. (“Navios Containers”) (NASDAQ: NMCI), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company from November 30, 2018 (date of obtaining control) through August 30, 2019 (date of loss of control), is a growth-oriented international owner and operator of containerships. Navios Containers was formed in April 2017 to take advantage of acquisition and chartering opportunities in the container shipping sector. Following the sale of Navios Containers’ general partnership interest effected on August 30, 2019, referred to in Note 3 included elsewhere in this Report, Navios Holdings lost control and deconsolidated Navios Containers from that date onwards. As a result, from August 30, 2019, Navios Containers is not a controlled subsidiary of the Company and the investment in Navios Containers is accounted for under the equity method due to Navios Holdings’ significant influence over Navios Containers. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings had a 3.7% ownership interest in Navios Containers.

Navios Europe II is engaged in the marine transportation industry through the ownership of seven dry bulk and seven containership vessels. Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners have voting interests of 50%, 50% and 0%, respectively, and 47.5%, 47.5% and 5% economic interests, respectively, in Navios Europe II. The structure is expected to be liquidated during the second quarter of 2020 (see also Note 14 included elsewhere in this Report).

Navios Holdings has the right of first refusal and profit sharing on sale of vessel.

Many of Navios Holdings’ current long-term chartered-in vessels are chartered from ship owners with whom Navios Holdings has long-standing relationships. Navios Holdings pays these ship owners daily rates of hire for such vessels, and then charters out these vessels to other parties, who pay Navios Holdings a daily rate of hire. Navios Holdings may enter into COAs pursuant to which Navios Holdings has agreed to carry cargoes, typically for industrial customers, who export or import dry bulk cargoes. Further, Navios Holdings enters into spot market voyage contracts, where Navios Holdings is paid a rate per ton to carry a specified cargo from point A to point B.

This policy may lead Navios Holdings to time charter-out many of the vessels that it is operating (i.e., vessels owned by Navios Holdings or which Navios Holdings has taken into its fleet under charters having a duration of more than 12 months) for long-term periods at fixed or floating rates to various shipping industry counterparties considered by Navios Holdings to have appropriate credit profiles. By doing this, Navios Holdings aims to lock in, subject to credit and operating risks, favorable forward revenue and cash flows, which it believes, will cushion it against unfavorable market conditions, when the Company deems necessary. In addition, Navios Holdings trades additional vessels taken in on shorter term charters of less than 12 months duration as well as voyage charters or COAs.

Generally, these charters, when available, may have the effect of generating Time Charter Equivalents (“TCE”) that are higher than spot employment. The average daily charter-in vessel cost for the Navios Holdings long-term charter-in fleet (excluding vessels, which are utilized to serve voyage charters or COAs) was $12,363 per day for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The average long-term charter-in hire rate per vessel was included in the amount of long-term hire included elsewhere in this Report and was computed by (a) multiplying (i) the daily charter-in rate for each vessel by (ii) the number of days each vessel is in operation for the year; (b) summing those individual multiplications; and (c) dividing such total by the total number of charter-in vessel days for the year. Furthermore, Navios Holdings has the ability to increase its owned fleet through purchase options exercisable in the future at favorable prices relative to the then-current market. Navios Holdings holds 13 purchase options to acquire chartered- in vessels, and five purchase options to acquire vessels under bareboat contracts.

Navios Holdings believes that a decrease in global commodity demand from its current level, and the delivery of dry bulk carrier new buildings into the world fleet, could have an adverse impact on future revenue and profitability. However, Navios Holdings believes that the operating cost advantage (through the contracts provided by NSM) of its owned vessels will continue to help mitigate the impact of any declines in freight rates. A reduced freight rate environment also has an adverse impact on the value of Navios Holdings’ owned fleet. In reaction to a decline in freight rates, available ship financing can also be negatively impacted.

Navios Logistics owns and operates vessels, barges and pushboats located in South America, the largest independent bulk transfer and storage port facility in Uruguay, an upriver liquid port facility located in Paraguay and an upriver grain facility being developed in Brazil. Operating results for Navios Logistics are highly correlated to: (i) South American grain production and export, in particular Argentinean, Brazilian, Paraguayan, Uruguayan and Bolivian production and export; (ii) South American iron ore

production and export, mainly from Brazil; and (iii) sales (and logistic services) of petroleum products in the Argentine and Paraguayan markets. Navios Holdings believes that the continuing development of these businesses will foster throughput growth and therefore increase revenues at Navios Logistics. Should this development be delayed, grain harvests be reduced, or the market experience an overall decrease in the demand for grain or iron ore, the operations in Navios Logistics could be adversely affected.

Factors Affecting Navios Holdings’ Results of Operations

Navios Holdings believes the principal factors that will affect its 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 its vessels engage in business. In addition our business could be materially and adversely affected by the outbreak of the recent COVID-19. Please read “Risk Factors” included in Navios Holdings’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC for a discussion of certain risks inherent in its business.

Navios Holdings believes that important measures for analyzing trends in its results of operations include the following:

 

   

Market Exposure: Navios Holdings manages the size and composition of its fleet by seeking a mix between chartering and owning vessels in order to adjust to anticipated changes in market rates. Navios Holdings aims to achieve an appropriate balance between owned vessels and long and short-term chartered-in vessels and controls approximately 5.6 million dwt in dry bulk tonnage. Navios Holdings’ options to extend the charter duration of vessels it has under long-term time charter (durations of over 12 months) and its purchase options on chartered vessels permit Navios Holdings to adjust the cost and the fleet size to correspond to market conditions.

 

   

Available days: Available days are the total number of days a vessel is controlled by a company less the aggregate number of days that the vessel is off-hire due to scheduled repairs or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades or special surveys and ballast days relating to voyages. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

 

   

Operating days: Operating days are the number of available days in a period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including lack of demand or unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during which vessels actually generate revenues.

 

   

Fleet utilization: Fleet utilization is obtained by dividing the number of operating days during a period by the number of available days during the 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 or repairs under guarantee, vessel upgrades, special surveys or vessel positioning.

 

   

TCE rates: TCE rates are 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 compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time charters with daily earnings generated by vessels on voyage charters, because charter hire rates for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per day amounts, while charter hire rates for vessels on time charters generally are expressed in such amounts.

 

   

Equivalent vessels: Equivalent vessels are defined as the available days of the fleet divided by the number of the calendar days in the period.

Voyage and Time Charter

Revenues are driven primarily by the number and type 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;

 

   

the level of period charter rates;

 

   

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;

 

9


   

the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and

 

   

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

Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to a long-term period which may be many years. Under a time charter, owners assume no risk for finding business and obtaining and paying for fuel or other expenses related to the voyage, such as port entry fees. 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, labor strikes, governmental policies, supply and demand, and many other factors that might be beyond the control of management.

Consistent with industry practice, Navios Holdings uses TCE rates as a method of analyzing fluctuations between financial periods and as a method of equating revenue generated from a voyage charter to time charter revenue.

TCE rate also serves as an industry standard for measuring revenue and comparing results between geographical regions and among competitors.

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 Holdings’ owned fleet is 7.6 years. As Navios Holdings’ fleet ages or if Navios Holdings 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.

Statement of Operations Breakdown by Segment

Navios Holdings reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues and not by vessel type, length of ship employment, customers or type of charter. Navios Holdings does not use discrete financial information to evaluate the operating results for each such type of charter. Although revenue can be identified for each type of charter, management does not identify expenses, profitability or other financial information on a charter-by-charter or type of charter basis. The reportable segments reflect the internal organization of the Company and are strategic businesses that offer different products and services. The Company currently has two reportable segments: Dry Bulk Vessel Operations and the Logistics Business, following the reclassification of the results of Navios Containers as discontinued operations (see also Note 3 included elsewhere in this Report). The Containers Business became a reportable segment, as a result of the consolidation of Navios Containers from November 30, 2018 (date of obtaining control) and ceased to be a reportable segment on August 30, 2019 (date of loss of control). The Dry Bulk Vessel Operations segment consists of the transportation and handling of bulk cargoes through the ownership, operation, and trading of vessels and freight. The Logistics Business segment consists of port terminal business, barge business and cabotage business in the Hidrovia region of South America. Navios Holdings measures segment performance based on net income attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders.

For further segment information, please see Note 12 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Report.

During the three month period ended March 31, 2020, there were 701 less available days as compared to the same period during 2019 due to (i) a net decrease in available days of owned vessels by 517 days following the sale of Navios Hios, Navios Kypros, Navios Equator Prosper, Navios Mercator, Navios Primavera, Navios Arc Navios Vector and Navios Meridian; and (ii) a decrease in long-term charter-in fleet available days by 184 days.

The average TCE rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was $7,082 per day, which was 26.4% or $2,540 per day lower than the rate achieved in the same period during 2019. This was primarily due to the decline in the freight and time charter market.

Revenue: Revenue from Dry Bulk Vessel Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was $34.3 million as compared to $52.7 million for the same period during 2019. The decrease of $18.4 million, or 34.9%, in dry bulk revenue was mainly attributable to a decrease in available days, due to the vessels sold and certain charter-in vessels that were redelivered, and the decline in freight and time charter market during the periods compared.

Revenue from the Logistics Business was $56.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $55.8 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to (i) a $1.7 million increase in sales of products mainly due to the increase in the Paraguayan liquid port’s volume of products sold and (ii) a $0.2 million increase in revenue from barge business mainly due to the increased time charter rates. The overall increase was partially mitigated by (i) a $0.8 million decrease in revenue from the port terminal business mainly due to lower volumes transshipped in the grain port terminal and (ii) a $0.1 million decrease in revenue from the cabotage business mainly due to fewer spot voyage performed.

This was primarily due to a decrease in charter-in expenses.

Of the total expenses for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $18.8 million and $15.4 million, respectively, related to Navios Logistics. The increase of $3.4 million in time charter, voyage and Logistics Business expenses related to Navios Logistics was mainly due to (i) a $1.9 million increase in cost of products sold mainly attributable to the increase in the Paraguayan liquid port’s volume of products sold; (ii) a $1.7 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses of the barge business and (iii) a $0.2 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses of the port terminal business. This increase was partially mitigated by a $0.4 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses of the cabotage business mainly due to fewer spot voyages performed.

Direct Vessel Expenses: Direct vessel expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 5.1%, to $24.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $23.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. Direct vessel expenses include crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oils, insurance premiums and costs for maintenance and repairs.

As of August 30, 2019, following the sale of the management division, NSM provides management services to the Company at a fixed rate of $3,700 per day per vessel. During the three month period ended March 31, 2020 direct vessel expenses from Dry Bulk Vessel Operations consists of (i) management fees amounting to $11.0 million and (ii) $1.5 million of drydocking and special survey amortization. During the three month period ended March 31, 2019, direct vessel expenses were $10.9 million and consisted of crew costs, provisions, deck and engine stores, lubricating oils, insurance premiums and costs for maintenance and repairs.

Of the total amounts for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $12.2 million and $12.6 million, respectively, related to Navios Logistics. The decrease of $0.4 million was mainly due to a $0.7 million decrease in direct vessel expenses of the cabotage business; partially mitigated by a $0.3 million increase in direct vessel expenses of the barge business.

General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses of Navios Holdings are comprised of the following:

Depreciation and Amortization: For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, depreciation and amortization decreased by $3.1 million to $18.1 million as compared to $21.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

Depreciation expenses related to Dry Bulk Vessel Operations decreased by $3.1 million, or 23.5%, to $10.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $13.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily due to (i) the sale of Navios Hios, Navios Kypros, Navios Equator Prosper, Navios Mercator, Navios Primavera, Navios Arc, Navios Vector and Navios Meridian; and (ii) the impact of impairment loss recognized in the fourth quarter of 2019 for two of the Company’s vessels; partially mitigated by the acquisition of Navios Corali, Navios Canary and Navios Victory. Amortization expenses related to dry bulk operations remained stable at $0.7 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Of the total amount of depreciation and amortization for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, $7.3 million related to Navios Logistics. The depreciation of tangible assets and the amortization of intangible assets for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $6.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, unchanged compared to the same period in 2019. Depreciation and amortization in the cabotage business amounted to $0.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, unchanged compared to the same period in 2019. Depreciation and amortization in the barge business amounted to $4.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, unchanged compared to the same period in 2019. Depreciation and amortization in the port terminal business amounted to $2.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, unchanged as compared to the same period in 2019.

Interest Expense and Finance Cost, Net: Interest expense and finance cost, net increased by $0.8 million, or 2.6%, to $31.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $30.8 million in the same period in 2019. This increase was mainly due to a $2.6 million decrease in interest income of the Dry Bulk Vessel Operations, mainly due to loans provided to Navios Europe I and Navios Europe II in 2019 and the amortization of the premium from the transfer in March 2017 of Navios Holdings’ participation in the Navios Revolving Loans I (as defined herein) to Navios Partners. This increase was partially mitigated by (i) a $1.3 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net, of Dry Bulk Vessel Operations, mainly attributable to the repurchase of 2022 Notes (as defined herein); and (ii) a $0.5 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost, net of the Logistics Business.

Impairment loss/ loss on sale of vessels, net : During the three month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company recognized an impairment loss/loss on sale of vessels of $11.2 million relating to the sale of Navios Kypros and Navios Star. During the three month period ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized an impairment loss/loss on sale of vessels of $5.5 million relating to the sale of Navios Meridian.

Gain on Bond Extinguishment: During the three month period ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $20.8 million of the 2022 Notes (as defined herein) in open market transactions for a cash consideration of $9.4 million resulting in a gain on bond extinguishment of $11.2 million, net of deferred fees written-off. During the three month period ended March 31, 2019, Navios Logistics repurchased $31.5 million of the 2022 Notes in open market transactions for a cash consideration of $15.5 million resulting in a gain on bond extinguishment of $15.7 million, net of deferred fees written-off.

Other (Expense)/Income, Net: Other income, net decreased by $6.9 million, to $1.6 million net expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $5.3 million net income for the same period in 2019. This decrease was due to (i) a $7.6 million decrease in other income, net of Dry Bulk Vessel Operations; partially mitigated by (ii) a $0.7 million decrease in other expense, net of the Logistics Business.

The decrease in other income, net of Dry Bulk Vessel Operations was mainly due to (i) a $7.2 million decrease in miscellaneous other income, net including income related to extraordinary fees and costs related to regulatory requirements under management agreements; (ii) a $0.4 million increase in miscellaneous voyage expenses; (iii) a $0.3 million increase in taxes other than income taxes and (iv) a $0.1 million increase in loss from foreign exchange differences. This decrease was partially mitigated by a $0.4 million decrease in provision for losses on accounts receivable.

The decrease in other expense, net of the Logistics Business was mainly due to (i) a $0.5 million decrease in other expense, net in the barge business for the three month period ended March 31, 2020; (ii) a $0.2 million decrease in other expense, net in the port terminal business. Other expense, net in the cabotage business remained stable for both three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Equity in Net (Losses)/Earnings of Affiliated Companies: Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies decreased by $10.4 million, to $6.1 million losses for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $4.3 million earnings for the same period in 2019, mainly due to (i) a $6.7 million other-than-temporary impairment (“OTTI”) loss relating to the investment in Navios Europe II recognized in the first quarter 2020; (ii) a $3.4 million decrease in equity method income from Navios Partners; (iii) a $0.6 million decrease in equity method income from Navios Europe II; partially mitigated by (i) a $0.2 million increase in equity method income from Navios Containers and (ii) a $0.1 million increase in equity method income from Navios Acquisition.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Navios Holdings has historically financed its capital requirements with cash flows from operations, issuances of debt securities and borrowings under bank credit facilities. Main uses of funds have been refinancings of outstanding debt, capital expenditures for the acquisition of new vessels, new construction and upgrades at the port terminals, and expenditures incurred in connection with ensuring that the owned vessels comply with international and regulatory standards. Navios Holdings may from time to time, subject to restrictions under its debt and equity instruments, including limitations on dividends and repurchases under its preferred stock, depending upon market conditions and financing needs, use available funds to refinance or repurchase its debt in privately negotiated or open market transactions, by tender offer or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms Navios Holdings deems appropriate (which may be below par) and subject to Navios Holdings cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under Navios Holdings’ debt agreements, and other factors management deems relevant. In addition, we regularly review solutions for refinancing our outstanding indebtedness and opportunities for acquisition of businesses and additional vessels, development of new facilities and infrastructure, joint ventures and other corporate transactions that may be material to us. Generally, our sources of funds may be from cash flows from operations, long-term borrowings and other debt or equity financings, proceeds from asset sales and proceeds from sale of our stake in our investments. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure adequate financing or obtain additional funds on favorable terms, to meet our liquidity needs. See “Working Capital Position” and “Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements” for further discussion of Navios Holdings’ working capital position.

The following table presents cash flow information derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows of Navios Holdings for the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

Cash used in operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019:

Net cash used in operating activities increased by $19.8 million to $1.5 million of cash used in operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $18.3 million of cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019. In determining net cash provided by operating activities, net loss is adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items as discussed below.

The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities was a $36.0 million gain for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, which consisted mainly of the following adjustments: $18.1 million of depreciation and amortization, a $11.2 million impairment loss/loss on sale of vessels, $6.8 million movement in earnings in affiliates, net of dividends received, $6.0 million of impairment loss in relation to our loan receivable from Navios Europe II, $2.5 million of amortization of deferred drydock expenses, $1.9 million of amortization of deferred finance fees, $0.4 million provision for losses on accounts receivable and $0.3 million relating to share-based compensation. These adjustments were partially offset by a $11.2 million gain on bond extinguishment.

The net cash inflow resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $13.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 resulted from a $18.5 million increase in payable to affiliates, a $9.6 million increase in accounts payable, a $5.7 decrease in receivable from affiliates, a $1.3 million decrease in inventories, $0.6 million decrease in accounts receivables and a $0.1 million increase in deferred income. These were partially mitigated by a $8.7 million decrease in accrued expenses, a $5.8 million of drydock and special survey costs, a $3.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, a $2.9 million decrease in operating lease liabilities, a $1.3 million decrease in accrued interest payable to affiliate companies and a $0.2 million decrease in other long term liabilities.

The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities was a $23.0 million gain for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, which consisted mainly of the following adjustments: $29.8 million of depreciation and amortization, a $5.5 million impairment loss/loss on sale of vessels, $3.0 million of amortization of deferred drydock expenses, $1.9 million of amortization of deferred finance fees, $0.7 million relating to share-based compensation, a $0.6 million provision for losses on accounts receivable, a $0.4 million movement in income taxes. These adjustments were partially offset by a $15.7 million gain on bond extinguishment and a $3.2 million movement in earnings in affiliates, net of dividends received.

The net cash outflow resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $1.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 resulted from a $20.1 million decrease in accrued expenses, a $7.6 million increase in accounts receivable, a $4.1 million payment for drydock and special survey costs, a $3.6 million increase in prepaid expenses and other assets, a $1.5 million increase in inventories, a $1.0 million decrease in deferred income, $0.7 million decrease in operating lease liabilities and $0.4 million decrease in other long term liabilities. These were partially mitigated by a $25.1 million increase in net payables to affiliates, mainly consisted of management fees, administrative fees, drydocking, ballast water treatment system and other expenses prepaid by the affiliates according to our management agreements and a $12.9 million increase in accounts payable.

Adjusted EBITDA: EBITDA represents net (loss)/income attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization and before income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before stock based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as liquidity measure and reconcile Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as follows: net cash provided by operating activities adding back, when applicable and as the case may be, the effect of (i) net increase/(decrease) in operating assets, (ii) net (increase)/decrease in operating liabilities, (iii) net interest cost, (iv) deferred finance charges and gains/(losses) on bond and debt extinguishment, (v) (provision)/recovery for losses on accounts receivable, (vi) equity in affiliates, net of dividends received, (vii) payments for drydock and special survey costs, (viii) noncontrolling interest, (ix) gain/ (loss) on sale of assets/ subsidiaries/businesses, on loss of control and bargain gain, (x) unrealized (loss)/gain on derivatives, (xi) loss on sale and reclassification to earnings of available-for-sale securities and (xii) impairment charges. Navios Holdings believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and represents useful information to investors regarding Navios Holdings’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Navios Holdings also believes that Adjusted EBITDA is used (i) by prospective and current lessors as well as potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates; and (iii) by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry. Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Holdings’ 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; (ii) Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt and other financing arrangements; and (iii) 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, among others, Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Holdings’ performance. Furthermore, our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was $(0.8) million as compared to $63.0 million for the same period of 2019. The $63.8 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to (i) a $17.4 million decrease in revenue, (ii) a $12.0 million of EBITDA incurred in the first quarter of 2019 from consolidating Navios Containers; (iii) a $10.4 million decrease in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies, (iv) a $6.9 million decrease in other income, net; (v) a $6.0 million impairment loss of loan receivable from Navios Europe II; (vi) a $5.7 million increase in impairment losses on sale of vessels; (vii) a $4.5 million decrease in gain on bond extinguishment; (viii) a $1.5 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs) and (ix) a $0.8 million increase in net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. This overall decrease of $65.2 million was partially offset by a $1.4 million decrease in time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses.

Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements

Secured Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had secured credit facilities with various banks with a total outstanding balance of $111.1 million. The purpose of the facilities was to finance the construction or acquisition of vessels or refinance existing indebtedness. All of the facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and bear interest based on LIBOR plus spread ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum. The facilities are repayable in either semi-annual or quarterly installments, followed by balloon payments with maturities, ranging from June 2021 to November 2022. See also the maturity table included below.

The facilities are secured by first priority mortgages on certain of Navios Holdings’ vessels and other collateral.

 

17


The credit facilities contain a number of restrictive covenants that limit Navios Holdings and/or certain of its subsidiaries from, among other things: incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness; entering into affiliate transactions; charging, pledging or encumbering the vessels securing such facilities; changing the flag, class, management or ownership of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; changing the commercial and technical management of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; selling or changing the ownership of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; and subordinating the obligations under the credit facilities to any general and administrative costs relating to the vessels. The credit facilities also require the vessels to comply with the ISM Code and ISPS Code and to maintain valid safety management certificates and documents of compliance at all times. Additionally, the credit facilities require compliance with the covenants contained in the indentures governing the 2022 Senior Secured Notes (as defined herein), the 2022 Notes (as defined herein) and the 2024 Notes (as defined herein). Among other events, it will be an event of default under the credit facilities if the financial covenants are not complied with or if Angeliki Frangou and her affiliates, together, own less than 20% of the outstanding share capital of Navios Holdings.

The majority of the Company’s senior secured credit facilities require compliance with maintenance covenants, including (i) value-to-loan ratio covenants, based on charter-free valuations, ranging from over 120% to 135%, (ii) minimum liquidity up to a maximum of $30.0 million, and (iii) net total debt divided by total assets, as defined in each senior secured credit facility, ranging from a maximum of 75% to 80%. Certain covenants in our senior secured credit facilities have been amended for a specific period to increase the covenant levels for the applicable net total debt divided by total assets maintenance covenants, as defined in each senior secured credit facility, to a maximum of 90%.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under each of its credit facilities.

Navios Holdings has no purchase obligation to acquire the vessels at the end of the lease term, however, it is reasonably certain that respective purchase options will be exercised and under ASC 842-40, the transfer of the vessels was determined to be a failed sale. In accordance with ASC 842-40, the Company did not derecognize the respective vessels from its balance sheet and accounted for the amounts received under the Sale and Leaseback Agreements as a financial liability. The Sale and Leaseback Agreements are repayable by 144 consecutive monthly payments of approximately $0.2 million each, commencing as of January 2020 and March 2020, respectively.

Working Capital Position

On March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings’ current assets totaled $145.4 million, while current liabilities excluding operating lease liabilities, current portion, totaled $141.3 million, resulting in a positive working capital position of $4.1 million. Navios Holdings’ cash forecast indicates that it will generate sufficient cash during the next 12 months from June 12, 2020 to make the required principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, provide for the normal working capital requirements of the business and remain in a positive working capital position through June 12, 2021. While projections indicate that existing cash balances and operating cash flows will be sufficient to service the existing indebtedness, Navios Holdings continues to review its cash flows with a view toward increasing working capital.

Capital Expenditures

In December 2017, Navios Holdings agreed to charter-in, under a ten-year bareboat contract, from an unrelated third party the Navios Galaxy II, a newbuilding bulk carrier vessel of 81,789 dwt. On March 30, 2020 Navios Holdings took delivery of the Navios Galaxy II. As of March 31, 2020, the total amount of $6.7 million, including deposits of $5.4 million representing the option to acquire this vessel, expenses and interest, is presented under the caption “Other long-term assets”.

In January 2018, Navios Holdings agreed to charter-in, under two ten-year bareboat contracts, from an unrelated third party the Navios Herakles I and the Navios Uranus, two newbuilding bulk carriers of 82,036 dwt and 81,516 dwt, respectively. On August 28, 2019 Navios Holdings took delivery of the Navios Herakles I. On November 28, 2019 Navios Holdings took delivery of the Navios Uranus. As of March 31, 2020, the total amount of $14.1 million, including deposits of $11.1 million representing the option to acquire these vessels, expenses and interest, is presented under the caption “Other long-term assets”.

In April 2018, Navios Holdings agreed to charter-in, under one ten-year bareboat contract, from an unrelated third party the Navios Felicity I, a newbuilding bulk carrier of 81,946 dwt. On January 17, 2020, Navios Holdings took delivery of the Navios Felicity I. As of March 31, 2020, the total amount of $7.3 million, including deposits of $5.6 million representing the option to acquire this vessel, expenses and interest, is presented under the caption “Other long-term assets”.

On May 15, 2020, Navios Holdings took delivery of the Navios Magellan II. As of March 31, 2020, the total amount of $6.8 million, including deposits of $5.8 million representing the option to acquire this vessel, expenses and interest, is presented under the caption “Other long-term assets”.

Navios Logistics

On November 21, 2019, Navios Logistics entered into a shipbuilding contract, for the construction of six liquid barges for a total consideration of $15.8 million. Pursuant to this agreement, Navios Logistics has secured the availability of credit for up to 75% of the purchase price, and up to a five-year repayment period starting from the delivery of each vessel. The barges are expected to be delivered starting from the fourth quarter of 2020 through the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Logistics had paid $4.3 million for the construction of these barges, which are included within “Other long-term assets”. The amount included capitalized interest of $0.2 million.

On November 12, 2018, Navios Logistics acquired approximately 3.5 hectares of undeveloped land located in the Port Murtinho region, Brazil. Navios Logistics plans to develop this land for its port operations. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Logistics had paid $1.8 million for the land acquisition and capitalized expenses for the development of Navios Logistics’ post operations.

Dividend Policy

In November 2015, Navios Holdings announced that the Board of Directors decided to suspend the quarterly dividend to its common stockholders in order to conserve cash and improve its liquidity. In February 2016, in furtherance of its efforts to reduce its cash requirements, Navios Holdings announced the suspension of payment of quarterly dividends on its preferred stock, including the Series G and Series H, until market conditions improve. The Board of Directors and Navios Holdings’ management believe such a decision is in the best long-term interests of the Company and its stakeholders. The Board of Directors will reassess the Company’s distribution policy as the environment changes. The reinstatement, declaration and payment of any further dividend remains subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, market conditions, Navios Holdings’ cash requirements after taking into account market opportunities, restrictions under its equity instruments, credit agreements, indentures and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem advisable.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts receivable

Concentration of credit risk with respect to accounts receivables is limited due to Navios Holdings’ large number of customers, who are internationally dispersed and have a variety of end markets in which they sell. Due to these factors, management believes that no additional credit risk beyond amounts provided for collection losses is inherent in Navios Holdings’ trade receivables. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, two customers accounted for 25.4% and 11.6%, respectively, of the Company’s revenue, who are the same customers who accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue from continuing operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

 

22


If one or more of our customers does not perform under one or more contracts with us and we are not able to find a replacement contract, or if a customer exercises certain rights to terminate the contract, we could suffer a loss of revenues that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We could lose a customer or the benefits of a time charter for many different reasons, including if the customer is unable or unwilling to make charter hire or other payments to us because of a deterioration in its financial condition, disagreements with us or if the charterer exercises certain termination rights or otherwise. Our customers may terminate a charter because we fail to deliver the vessel within a fixed period of time, the vessel is lost or damaged beyond repair, there are serious deficiencies in the vessel or prolonged periods of off-hire, or we default under the charter. The customer may terminate the charter because the vessel has been subject to seizure for more than a specified number of days. Charterers may also go bankrupt or fail to perform their obligations under the contracts, they may delay payments or suspend payments altogether, they may terminate the contracts prior to the agreed-upon expiration date or they may attempt to renegotiate the terms of the contracts.

Cash deposits with financial institutions

Cash deposits in excess of amounts covered by government-provided insurance are exposed to loss in the event of non-performance by financial institutions. Navios Holdings does maintain cash deposits in excess of government-provided insurance limits. Navios Holdings also reduces exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Effects of Inflation

Navios Holdings does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to the cost of doing business in the foreseeable future. In addition, the Company considered various factors in assessing the impact of Argentina’s highly inflationary economy on Navios Logistics, among which, the sales, the financing arrangements, the working capital, the employee salaries and taxes. The Company does not consider inflation to be a significant risk factor to the cost of doing business in the foreseeable future as the functional currency of the Company’s Argentinian subsidiary is the U.S. dollar.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings was contingently liable for letters of guarantee and letters of credit amounting to less than $0.1 million issued by various banks in favor of various organizations and the total amount was collateralized by cash deposits, which were included as a component of restricted cash.

In November 2012 (as amended in March 2014), the Company entered into an agreement with Navios Partners (the “Navios Partners Guarantee”) to provide Navios Partners with guarantees against counterparty default on certain existing charters, which had previously been covered by the charter insurance for the same vessels, same periods and same amounts. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Partners has submitted one claim under this agreement to the Company. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the outstanding balance of the claim was $10.0 million. The final settlement of the amount due will be made at specific dates, in accordance with a signed letter of agreement between the parties.

The Company is involved in various disputes and arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Provisions have been recognized in the financial statements for all such proceedings where the Company believes that a liability may be probable, and for which the amounts can be reasonably estimated, based upon facts known on the date the financial statements were prepared. Although the Company cannot predict with certainty the ultimate resolutions of these matters, in the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On July 22, 2016, Navios Logistics guaranteed the compliance of certain obligations related to Edolmix S.A. and Energías Renovables del Sur S.A. (entities wholly owned by Navios Logistics) under their respective direct user agreements with the Free Zone of Nueva Palmira, for the amounts of $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively.

Navios Logistics has issued a guarantee and indemnity letter that guarantees the performance by Petrolera San Antonio S.A. (a consolidated subsidiary of Navios Logistics) of all its obligations to Vitol S.A. up to $12.0 million. This guarantee expires on March 1, 2021.

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

Midstream General Partner Option Agreement: Navios Holdings entered into an option agreement, with Navios Acquisition under which Navios Acquisition, which owns and controls Navios Maritime Midstream Partners GP LLC (“Midstream General Partner”), granted Navios Holdings the option to acquire a minimum of 25% of the outstanding membership interests in Midstream General Partner and 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. The purchase price for the acquisition for all or part of the option interest shall be an amount equal to its fair market value. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings had not exercised any part of that option.

Sale of vessels and sale of rights to Navios Partners: Upon the sale of vessels to Navios Partners, Navios Holdings recognized the gain immediately in earnings only to the extent of the interest in Navios Partners owned by third parties and deferred recognition of the gain to the extent of its own ownership interest in Navios Partners (the “deferred gain”). Subsequently, the deferred gain was amortized to income over the remaining useful life of the vessel. The recognition of the deferred gain was accelerated in the event that (i) the vessel was subsequently sold or otherwise disposed of by Navios Partners or (ii) the Company’s ownership interest in Navios Partners was reduced. In connection with the public offerings of common units by Navios Partners and the sale of Navios Partners general partnership interest effected on August 30, 2019, referred in Note 3 included elsewhere in this Report, a pro rata portion of the

 

26


deferred gain was released to income upon dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in Navios Partners. As of January 1, 2020, the unamortized deferred gain of $6.3 million was recorded as other adjustments within retained earnings. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, Navios Holdings recognized $0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of the deferred gain in “Equity in net (losses)/earnings of affiliated companies”.

Balance due from Navios Europe I: Following the liquidation, the balance due from Navios Europe I amounted to $0. As a result of this liquidation, Navios Holdings received the outstanding receivable of $13.4 million, in December 2019.

The Navios Revolving Loans I and the Navios Term Loans I earned interest and an annual preferred return, respectively, at 1,270 basis points per annum, on a quarterly compounding basis. There were no covenant requirements or stated maturity dates.

Balance due from Navios Europe II: Balance due from Navios Europe II as of March 31, 2020, amounted to $20.7 million (December 31, 2019: $20.7 million), which included the net current receivable amount mainly consisting of $13.2 million (December 31, 2019: $13.2 million), of accrued interest income earned under the Navios Revolving Loans II and the net non-current amount receivable of $7.6 million (December 31, 2019: $7.6 million) related to the accrued interest income earned under the Navios Term Loans II (as defined in Note 14 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Report).

The Navios Revolving Loans II and the Navios Term Loans II earn interest and an annual preferred return, respectively, at 1,800 basis points per annum, on a quarterly compounding basis and are repaid from free cash flow (as defined in the loan agreement) to the fullest extent possible at the end of each quarter. There are no covenant requirements or stated maturity dates.

As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding amount relating to Navios Holdings’ portion under the Navios Revolving Loans II was $10.9 million (December 31, 2019: $16.9 million), under the caption “Loan receivable from affiliate companies.” As of March 31, 2020, the amount undrawn from the Revolving Loans II was $4.5 million.

The decline in the fair value of the investment was considered as other-than-temporary and, therefore, a loss of $6.0 million was recognized and included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as “Impairment of loan receivable from affiliated company”. The fair value was determined based on the liquidation value of Navios Europe II, including the individual fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities of Navios Europe II.

On April 21, 2020, Navios Europe II agreed with the lender to fully release the liabilities under the junior participating loan facility for $5.0 million. Following the decision of the shareholders of Navios Europe II in May 2020 to liquidate the structure, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors, approved the allocation of assets. As part of the transaction, it is anticipated that Navios Holdings will receive cash subject to working capital adjustments at closing and will acquire two unencumbered Panamax dry bulk vessels in full satisfaction of Navios Europe II’s obligations to Navios Holdings. Closing is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2020. No assurances can be provided that definitive agreements will be executed or that the transaction will be completed in whole or in part.

Secured credit facility with Navios Logistics: On April 25, 2019, Navios Holdings entered into a secured credit facility of $50.0 million with Navios Logistics to be used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of 2022 Notes. This credit facility is secured by (i) any 2022 Notes purchased by Navios Holdings with these funds and (ii) equity interests in five subsidiaries of the Company that have entered into certain bareboat contracts. The credit facility is available in multiple drawings, has an arrangement fee of $0.5 million, a fixed interest rate of 12.75% for the first year and a fixed interest rate of 14.75% for the second year, payable annually. The secured credit facility includes negative covenants substantially similar to the 2022 Notes and customary events of default. In December 2019, Navios Holdings and Navios Logistics agreed to increase the amount by $20.0 million and amended the interest rate of the whole facility to 12.75% or 10.0% if certain conditions are met. The credit facility matures in April 2021 or December 2024 if certain conditions are met. As of March 31, 2020, the amount of $70.0 million was drawn under this facility of which $18.7 million was used to acquire the 2022 Notes from Navios Logistics and the remaining amount was used to repurchase 2022 Notes.

NSM Loan: On August 29, 2019, Navios Holdings entered into a secured credit facility of $141.8 million (including post-closing adjustments) with Navios Shipmanagement Holdings Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of NSM. In general, the amount owed reflects the excess of (i) the liabilities of the ship management business (including liabilities for advances previously made by affiliates to the Company for ongoing operating costs, including technical management services, supplies, dry-docking and related expenses) other than liabilities the assumption of which forms part of the consideration for the Transaction over (ii) the short term assets of the ship management business. The Company’s obligations under the NSM Loan are guaranteed by substantially the same subsidiaries that guarantee the 2022 Notes and secured by assets of the Company that do not secure the Ship Mortgage Notes or the Company’s 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2022. The credit facility is repayable over a five-year period; of the initial amount, $47.0 million was repayable in 2020 in equal quarterly installments, with the remaining principal repayment in equal quarterly installments

 

27


over the following 48 months. In certain cases, principal payments can be deferred provided that no more than $20.0 million of deferral may be outstanding during the first or second year and $10.0 million outstanding in the third year. The loan agreement provides for interest at 5% annually, and 7% annually for deferred principal amounts. During December 2019, Navios Holdings repaid the amount of $13.4 million under the terms of this facility. Following the closing of the Navios Europe II liquidation, the receivables are to be paid to NSM as per the terms of the NSM Loan.

As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance was $128.4 million (December 31, 2019: $128.4 million) and the accrued interest was $0.8 million (December 31, 2019: $2.2 million). Of the outstanding amount and accrued interest, $5.8 million is included in “Current portion of loan payable to affiliate companies”.

$50.0 million NSM Loan: In June 2020, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement with Navios Shipmanagement Holdings Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of NSM for a loan of up to $50.0 million to be used for general corporate purposes. The terms and conditions of the secured loan agreement were approved by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors. The loan agreement will be repayable in 18 equal consecutive quarterly installments. Principal payments that fall due during the first year following the initial drawdown may be deferred, at the Company’s election, in whole or in part. The loan agreement provides for interest at a rate of 5% annually (and 7% annually for deferred principal amounts). No amount has been drawn to date.

The Company’s obligations under the $50.0 million NSM Loan are guaranteed by first priority security interests in a vessel, as well as pledge of certain First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2022 owned by Navios Holdings and 104,069 common units in Navios Containers and second pledge for certain First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2022 owned by Navios Holdings.

Navios Logistics’ Shareholders Agreement: On November 19, 2019, Navios Holdings entered into a shareholder agreement with Peers Business Inc. granting certain protections to minority shareholders in certain events.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Navios Holdings is exposed to certain risks related to interest rate, foreign currency and charter rate risks.

Interest Rate Risk

Debt Instruments — On March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, Navios Holdings had a total of $1,614.8 million and $1,581.8 million, respectively, of long-term indebtedness. All of the Company’s debt is U.S. dollar-denominated. The 2022 Senior Secured Notes, the 2022 Notes, the 2024 Notes, the NSM Loan, the 2022 Logistics Senior Notes and one Navios Logistics’ loan discussed in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” bear interest at a fixed rate; the balance of Navios Holdings’ debt bears interest at a floating rate.

Changes in interest rates for our floating-rate loan facilities would affect their interest rate and related interest expense. As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding amount of the Company’s floating rate loan facilities was $320.1 million. A change in the LIBOR rate of 100 basis points would change interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 by $0.8 million. The interest rate on the 2022 Senior Secured Notes, the 2022 Notes, the 2024 Notes, the NSM Loan, the 2022 Logistics Senior Notes, and one Navios Logistics’ loan is fixed and, therefore, changes in interest rates affect their fair value, which as of March 31, 2020 was $808.6 million, but do not affect their related interest expense.

For a detailed discussion of Navios Holdings’ debt instruments refer to the section “Long-Term Debt Obligations and Credit Arrangements” included elsewhere in this document.

Foreign Currency Risk

Foreign Currency: In general, the shipping industry is a U.S. dollar dominated industry. Revenue is set mainly in U.S. dollars, and approximately 80.4% of Navios Holdings’ expenses are also incurred in U.S. dollars. Certain of our expenses are paid in foreign currencies and a one percent change in the exchange rates of the various currencies at March 31, 2020 would change net income by approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Charter Rate Risks

See “Charter Policy and Industry Outlook” for our approach and managing charter rate risk.

Critical Accounting Policies

Navios Holdings’ interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Navios Holdings to make estimates in the application of its accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. All significant accounting policies are as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Investments in Equity Securities

Navios Holdings evaluates its investments in Navios Acquisition, Navios Partners, Navios Containers and Navios Europe II for OTTI on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to (i) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, (ii) the financial condition and near-term prospects of such companies, and (iii) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investment in these companies for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value. (see also Note 14 included elsewhere in this Report).

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NM) is a global seaborne shipping and logistics company focused on the transport and transshipment of dry bulk commodities, including iron ore, coal and grain.

Navios Logistics

Navios South American Logistics Inc. (“Navios Logistics”), a consolidated subsidiary of the Company, is one of the largest logistics companies in the Hidrovia region of South America with the region’s second largest barge fleet and its third largest cabotage fleet. Navios Logistics focuses on the Hidrovia river system, the main navigable river system in the region, and on cabotage trades along the eastern coast of South America. Navios Logistics provides its customers integrated transportation, storage and related services through its port facilities, its large, versatile fleet of dry and liquid cargo barges and its product tankers. Navios Logistics serves the needs of a number of growing South American industries, including mineral and grain commodity providers as well as users of refined petroleum products. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings owned 63.8% of Navios Logistics.

Navios Containers

Navios Maritime Containers L.P. (“Navios Containers”) (NASDAQ: NMCI) is a growth vehicle dedicated to the container sector of the maritime industry. Navios Maritime Containers Inc. registered its shares on the Norwegian Over-The-Counter Market (N-OTC) on June 12, 2017 under the ticker “NMCI”.

On November 30, 2018, Navios Maritime Containers Inc. was converted into a limited partnership. In connection with the conversion, Navios Maritime Containers GP LLC, a Republic of the Marshall Islands limited liability company and wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Holdings, was admitted as Navios Containers’ general partner and holds a non-economic interest that does not provide the holder with any rights to profits or losses of, or distribution by, the partnership. As a result of holding the general partner interest, control was obtained by Navios Holdings due to the fact that the general partner has exclusive management authority over Navios Containers’ operations, controls the appointment of three of the seven members of Navios Containers’ board of directors and has veto rights over certain significant actions of Navios Containers. The limited partners may not remove the general partner without the affirmative vote of at least 75% of the outstanding units (including units held by the general partner and its affiliates), voting as a single class. In addition, limited partners have no right to participate in the operation, management or control of Navios Containers’ business or transact any business in Navios Containers’ name. The general partner has the power to oversee and direct the partnership’s operations and to manage and determine the partnership’s strategies and policies on an exclusive basis and therefore, has the power to govern the financial and operating policies of Navios Containers. As of that date, Navios Holdings obtained control over Navios Containers and consequently the results of operations of Navios Containers are consolidated under Navios Holdings. Following the sale of Navios Containers’ general partnership interest effected on August 30, 2019, referred to in Note 3, Navios Holdings lost control and deconsolidated Navios Containers from that date onwards. The results of operations of Navios Containers for the period consolidated under Navios Holdings have been reported as discontinued operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

As a result, from August 30, 2019, Navios Containers is not a controlled subsidiary of the Company and the investment in Navios Containers is accounted for under the equity method due to Navios Holdings’ significant influence over Navios Containers.

As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings had a 3.7% ownership interest in Navios Containers.

Navios Partners

Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) (NYSE:NMM) is an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels and is engaged in seaborne transportation services of a wide range of dry cargo commodities including iron ore, coal, grain, fertilizer and also containerships, chartering its vessels under medium to long-term charters.

As of March 31, 2020, and following the sale of Navios Partners’ general partnership interest, referred to in Note 3, Navios Holdings owned an 18.5% interest in Navios Partners. Incentive distribution rights are held by a consolidated subsidiary of Navios Holdings.

Navios Acquisition

Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”) (NYSE: NNA), is an owner and operator of tanker vessels focusing on the transportation of petroleum products (clean and dirty) and bulk liquid chemicals.

Navios Europe I

On October 9, 2013, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners established Navios Europe Inc. (“Navios Europe I”) and had economic interests of 47.5%, 47.5% and 5.0%, respectively. Navios Europe I was engaged in the marine transportation industry through the ownership of five tanker and five containership vessels. Effective November 2014, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners had voting interests of 50%, 50% and 0%, respectively. On November 22, 2019, an agreement was reached to liquidate Navios Europe I (Refer to Note 9).

Navios Europe II

On February 18, 2015, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners established Navios Europe (II) Inc. (“Navios Europe II”) and have economic interests of 47.5%, 47.5% and 5.0%, respectively and voting interests of 50%, 50% and 0%, respectively. Navios Europe II is engaged in the marine transportation industry through the ownership of seven dry bulk and seven container vessels. On April 21, 2020, Navios Europe II and the lenders agreed to fully release the liabilities under the Junior Loan II for $5,000. The structure is expected to be liquidated during the second quarter of 2020 (Refer to Note 9).

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 Holdings’ consolidated balance sheets, statements of comprehensive (loss)/income, statements of cash flows and statements of changes in equity for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Holdings’ Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2019 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 Holdings, a Marshall Islands corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated statements.

Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights 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. 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. All subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are 100% owned, except for Navios Logistics and Navios Containers (for the period consolidated from November 30, 2018 to August 30, 2019), which are 63.8% owned and 3.7% owned by Navios Holdings, respectively.

Discontinued Operations: Discontinued operations comprise the operations of a disposed component of an entity or a group of components of an entity if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. The Company determined that the disposal of Navios Containers’ general partnership interest effected on August 30,

NAVIOS MARITIME HOLDINGS INC.

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)

 

2019, referred to in Note 3, which resulted in loss of control and deconsolidation of Navios Containers from that date onwards, represented a strategic shift in Company’s business due to the fact that the Containers Business represented a reportable segment of the Company and has, therefore, recorded the results of its Containers Business operations as discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.

Investments in Affiliates: 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 it 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 shares qualifies as a sale of 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.

Affiliates included in the financial statements accounted for under the equity method

In the consolidated financial statements of Navios Holdings, the following entities are included as affiliates and are accounted for under the equity method for such periods: (i) Navios Partners and its subsidiaries (ownership interest as of March 31, 2020 was 18.5%); (ii) Navios Acquisition and its subsidiaries (economic interest as of March 31, 2020 was 30.8%); (iii) Navios Europe I and its subsidiaries (economic interest through liquidation in December 2019 was 47.5%); (iv) Navios Europe II and its subsidiaries (economic interest as of March 31, 2020 was 47.5%); and (v) Navios Containers and its subsidiaries (economic interest as of November 30, 2018, date of obtaining control, and from August 30, 2019, date of loss of control and as of December 31, 2019 was 3.7%).

(c) Revenue Recognition:

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) using the modified retrospective method, requiring to recognize the cumulative effect of adopting this guidance as an adjustment to the 2018 opening balance of retained earnings and not retrospectively adjusting prior periods. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The guidance provides a unified model to determine how revenue is recognized. In doing so, the Company makes judgments including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers control of the promised goods or services to its customers. Revenues are recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

The Company’s contract revenues from time chartering and pooling arrangements are governed by ASC 842 “Leases”. See Note 15. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the timing and recognition of earnings from the pool arrangements and time charter contracts to which the Company is party did not change from previous practice. The Company has determined to recognize lease revenue as a combined single lease component for all time charters (operating leases) as the related lease component and non-lease component will have the same timing and pattern of the revenue recognition of the combined single lease component. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. As a result of the adoption of these standards, there was no cumulative impact to the Company’s retained earnings at January 1, 2018.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)

 

Revenue is recorded when services are rendered, the Company has a signed charter agreement or other evidence of an arrangement, the price is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company generates revenue from transportation of cargo, time charter of vessels, port terminal operations, bareboat charters, contracts of affreightment/voyage contracts, demurrages and contracts covering dry or liquid port terminal operations.

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 arrives at the loading port, as applicable under the contract, and is deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. 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 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 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.

Revenue from contracts of affreightment (“COA”)/voyage contracts relating to our barges are recognized ratably over the estimated relative transit time of each voyage. A voyage is deemed to commence upon the barge’s arrival at the loading port, as applicable under the contract, and is deemed to end upon the completion of discharge under the current voyage. The percentage of transit time is based on the days traveled as of the balance sheet date divided by the total days expected for the voyage. The position of the barge at the balance sheet date is determined by the days traveled as of the balance sheet date over the total voyage of the pushboat having the barge in tow. Revenue arising from contracts that provide our customers with continuous access to convoy capacity is recognized ratably over the period of the contracts.

Demurrage income represents payments made by the charterer to the vessel owner when loading or discharging time exceeds the stipulated time in the voyage charter and is recognized as it is earned.

Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company is recognizing revenue ratably from the vessel’s/barge’s arrival at the loading port, as applicable under the contract, to when the charterer’s cargo is discharged as well as defer costs that meet the definition of “costs to fulfill a contract” and relate directly to the contract. The adoption of this standard had no material effect on the Company’s opening retained earnings, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income.

Revenues from time chartering and bareboat chartering of vessels and barges 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, except for loss generating time charters, in which case the loss is recognized in the period when such loss is determined. A time charter involves placing a vessel or barge at the charterer’s disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment of a specified daily hire rate. Short period charters for less than three months are referred to as spot-charters. Charters extending three months to a year are generally referred to as medium-term charters. All other charters are considered long-term. Under time charters, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel.

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 margins 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 in the period in which the variability is resolved. The allocation of such net revenue may be subject to future adjustments by the pool, however, such changes are not expected to be material.

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) or the Baltic Dry Index 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 from dry port terminal operations consist of an agreed flat fee per ton and cover the services performed to unload barges (or trucks), transfer the product into silos or the stockpiles for temporary storage and then loading the ocean-going vessels. Revenues are recognized upon completion of loading the ocean-going vessels. Revenue arising from contracts that provide our customers with

continuous access to port terminal storage and transshipment capacity is recognized ratably over the period of the contracts. Additionally, fees are charged for vessel dockage and for storage time in excess of contractually specified terms. Dockage revenues are recognized ratably up to completion of loading as the performance obligation is met evenly over the loading period. Storage fees are assessed and recognized at the point when the product remains in the silo storage beyond the contractually agreed time allowed. Storage fee revenue is recognized ratably over the storage period and ends when the product is loaded onto the ocean-going vessel.

Revenues from liquid port terminal consist mainly of sales of petroleum products in the Paraguayan market and revenues from liquid port operations. Revenues from liquid port terminal operations consist of an agreed flat fee per cubic meter or a fixed rate over a specific period to cover the services performed to unload barges, transfer the products into the tanks for temporary storage and then loading the trucks. Revenues that consist of an agreed flat fee per cubic meter are recognized upon completion of loading the trucks. Revenues from liquid port terminal operations that consist of a fixed rate over a specific period are recognized ratably over the storage period as the performance obligation is met evenly over time, ending when the product is loaded onto the trucks.

Additionally, revenues consist of an agreed flat fee per cubic meter to cover the services performed to unload barges, transfer the products into the tanks for temporary storage and then loading the trucks. Revenues are recognized upon completion of loading the trucks. Additionally, fees are charged for storage time in excess of contractually specified terms. Storage fee revenue is recognized ratably over the storage period and ends when the product is loaded onto the trucks.

Recovery of lost revenue under credit default insurance for charterers is accounted for as gain contingency and is recognized when all contingencies are resolved. The amount of recovery of lost revenue is recorded within the caption “Revenue” and any amount recovered in excess of the lost revenue is recorded within the caption “Other (expense)/income, net”.

Expenses related to our revenue-generating contracts are recognized as incurred.

Administrative services included: bookkeeping, audit and accounting services, legal and insurance services, administrative and clerical services, banking and financial services, advisory services, client and investor relations and other general and administrative services. These revenues were recognized as the services were provided to affiliates. The general and administrative expenses incurred on behalf of affiliates were determined based on a combination of actual expenses incurred on behalf of the affiliates as well as a reasonable allocation of expenses that are not affiliate specific but incurred on behalf of all affiliates. Following the sale of the management division effected on August 30, 2019, outlined in Note 3, these services are provided by N Shipmanagement Acquisition Corp. and related entities (“NSM” or the “Manager”).

Deferred Income and Cash Received In Advance: 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.

 

(d)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740), which modifies ASC 740 to simplify the accounting for income taxes. It removes certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740 and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The amendments in ASU 2019-12 are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. Early adoption of the standard is permitted, including adoption in interim or annual periods for which financial statements have not yet been issued. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In October 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): “Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 provides that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a VIE. For public business entities the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-14, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits-Defined Benefit Plans (Topic 715-20): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans”. This update modifies the disclosure requirements for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for public business entities that are SEC filers beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, and earlier adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its disclosures to the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlier adoption is permitted. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)”. This update addresses concerns expressed about the cost and complexity of the goodwill impairment test and simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. The amendments in this ASU are required for public business entities and other entities that have goodwill reported in their financial statements and have not elected the private company alternative for the subsequent measurement of goodwill. The amendments are effective for public business entities that are SEC filers for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for all entities. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a timelier manner. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”. The amendments in this update clarify that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. In April 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-04 “Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments”. In May 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-05, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief”. The amendments in this update provide entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses-Measured at Amortized Cost, with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments-Overall, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, upon adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities. An entity that elects the fair value option should subsequently apply the guidance in Subtopics 820-10, Fair Value Measurement-Overall, and 825-10. In November 2019, FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842)”. This update has been issued to apply changes in the effective dates for: (i) ASU 2016-13; (ii) ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (Hedging); and (iii) ASU 2016-02. This update also amends the mandatory effective date for the elimination of Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test (ASU 2017-04). In December 2019, FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. This update introduced an expected credit loss model for the impairment of financial assets measured at amortized cost basis. That model replaces the probable, incurred loss model for those assets. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company has assessed all the expected credit losses of its financial assets and the adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

The Company simultaneously entered into a secured credit facility with NSM whereby the Company agreed to repay NSM a loan of $141,795 (including post-closing adjustments). See also in Note 9 “NSM Loan”.

The difference between the carrying value of the identifiable net liabilities sold as of August 30, 2019 and the loan payable to NSM assumed by Navios Holdings, and the sale proceeds, net of expenses, resulted in a gain on sale of $9,802.

Deconsolidation of Navios Containers

Following the sale of Navios Containers’ general partnership interest effected on August 30, 2019 along with the sale of management division, referred above, Navios Holdings deconsolidated Navios Containers from that date onwards in accordance with ASC 810. As a result, since August 30, 2019, Navios Containers is not a controlled subsidiary of the Company and the investment in Navios Containers is accounted for under the equity method due to Navios Holdings’ significant influence over Navios Containers.

The difference between the carrying value of Navios Containers’ identifiable net assets and noncontrolling interest derecognized as of August 30, 2019 amounted to $57,999 and the loss from the remeasurement of Navios Holdings’ interest in Navios Containers to its fair value of $2,527 amounted to $3,742 and are included in the caption “Loss on loss of control” in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income. The fair value of the 1,263,276 shares of Navios Containers owned by Navios Holdings was determined by using the closing share price of $2.00 as of that date.

Secured Credit Facilities

As of March 31, 2020, the Company had secured credit facilities with various banks with a total outstanding balance of $111,116. The purpose of the facilities was to finance the construction or acquisition of vessels or refinance existing indebtedness. All of the facilities are denominated in U.S. dollars and bear interest based on LIBOR plus spread ranging from 2.75% to 3.25% per annum. The facilities are repayable in either semi-annual or quarterly installments, followed by balloon payments with maturities, ranging from June 2021 to November 2022. See also the maturity table included below.

The facilities are secured by first priority mortgages on certain of Navios Holdings’ vessels and other collateral.

The credit facilities contain a number of restrictive covenants that limit Navios Holdings and/or certain of its subsidiaries from, among other things: incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness; entering into affiliate transactions; charging, pledging or encumbering the vessels securing such facilities; changing the flag, class, management or ownership of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; changing the commercial and technical management of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; selling or changing the ownership of certain Navios Holdings’ vessels; and subordinating the obligations under the credit facilities to any general and administrative costs relating to the vessels. The credit facilities also require the vessels to comply with the ISM Code and ISPS Code and to maintain valid safety management certificates and documents of compliance at all times. Additionally, the credit facilities require compliance with the covenants contained in the indentures governing the 2022 Senior Secured Notes (as defined herein), the 2022 Notes (as defined herein) and the 2024 Notes (as defined herein). Among other events, it will be an event of default under the credit facilities if the financial covenants are not complied with or if Angeliki Frangou and her affiliates, together, own less than 20% of the outstanding share capital of Navios Holdings.

The majority of the Company’s senior secured credit facilities require compliance with maintenance covenants, including (i) value-to-loan ratio covenants, based on charter-free valuations, ranging from over 120% to 135%, (ii) minimum liquidity up to a maximum of $30,000, and (iii) net total debt divided by total assets, as defined in each senior secured credit facility, ranging from a maximum of 75% to 80%. Certain covenants in our senior secured credit facilities have been amended for a specific period to increase the covenant levels for the applicable net total debt divided by total assets maintenance covenants, as defined in each senior secured credit facility, to a maximum of 90%.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all of the covenants under each of its credit facilities.

NOTE 7: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

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

Restricted cash: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.

Borrowings: The book value has been adjusted to reflect the net presentation of deferred financing costs. The outstanding balance of the floating rate loans continues to approximate its fair value, excluding the effect of any deferred finance costs. The 2022 Notes, the 2022 Logistics Senior Notes, the 2022 Senior Secured Notes and one Navios Logistics’ loan are fixed rate borrowings and their fair value was determined based on quoted market prices.

Loan receivable from affiliate companies: The carrying amount of the floating rate loan approximates its fair value.

Loan payable to affiliate companies: The carrying amount of the fixed rate loan approximates its fair value.

Investments in available-for-sale securities: The carrying amount of the investments in available-for-sale securities reported in the consolidated balance sheets represents unrealized gains and losses on these securities, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income.

Long-term receivable from affiliate companies: The carrying amount of long-term receivable from affiliate companies approximates their fair value.

Long-term payable to affiliate companies: The carrying amount of long-term payable to affiliate companies approximates their fair value.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows:

Midstream General Partner Option Agreement: Navios Holdings entered into an option agreement, with Navios Acquisition under which Navios Acquisition, which owns and controls Navios Maritime Midstream Partners GP LLC (“Midstream General Partner”), granted Navios Holdings the option to acquire a minimum of 25% of the outstanding membership interests in Midstream General Partner and 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. The purchase price for the acquisition for all or part of the option interest shall be an amount equal to its fair market value. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings had not exercised any part of that option.

Sale of vessels and sale of rights to Navios Partners: Upon the sale of vessels to Navios Partners, Navios Holdings recognized the gain immediately in earnings only to the extent of the interest in Navios Partners owned by third parties and deferred recognition of the gain to the extent of its own ownership interest in Navios Partners (the “deferred gain”). Subsequently, the deferred gain was amortized to income over the remaining useful life of the vessel. The recognition of the deferred gain was accelerated in the event that (i) the vessel was subsequently sold or otherwise disposed of by Navios Partners or (ii) the Company’s ownership interest in Navios Partners was reduced. In connection with the public offerings of common units by Navios Partners and the sale of Navios Partners general partnership interest effected on August 30, 2019, referred in Note 3, a pro rata portion of the deferred gain was released to income upon dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in Navios Partners. As of January 1, 2020, the unamortized deferred gain of $6,285 was recorded as other adjustments within retained earnings. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, Navios Holdings recognized $0 and $328, respectively, of the deferred gain in “Equity in net (losses)/earnings of affiliated companies”.

Balance due from Navios Europe I: Following the liquidation, the balance due from Navios Europe I amounted to $0. As a result of this liquidation, Navios Holdings received the outstanding receivable of $13,420, in December 2019.

The Navios Revolving Loans I and the Navios Term Loans I earned interest and an annual preferred return, respectively, at 1,270 basis points per annum, on a quarterly compounding basis. There were no covenant requirements or stated maturity dates.

Balance due from Navios Europe II: Balance due from Navios Europe II as of March 31, 2020, amounted to $20,712 (December 31, 2019: $20,712), which included the net current receivable amount mainly consisting of $13,154 (December 31, 2019: $13,154), of accrued interest income earned under the Navios Revolving Loans II (as defined in Note 14) and the net non-current amount receivable of $7,558 (December 31, 2019: $7,558) related to the accrued interest income earned under the Navios Term Loans II (as defined in Note 14).

The Navios Revolving Loans II and the Navios Term Loans II earn interest and an annual preferred return, respectively, at 1,800 basis points per annum, on a quarterly compounding basis and are repaid from free cash flow (as defined in the loan agreement) to the fullest extent possible at the end of each quarter. There are no covenant requirements or stated maturity dates.

As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding amount relating to Navios Holdings’ portion under the Navios Revolving Loans II was $10,888 (December 31, 2019: $16,938), under the caption “Loan receivable from affiliate companies.” As of March 31, 2020, the amount undrawn from the Navios Revolving Loans II was $4,503.

The decline in the fair value of the investment was considered as other-than-temporary and, therefore, a loss of $6,050 was recognized and included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as “Impairment of loan receivable from affiliated company”. The fair value was determined based on the liquidation value of Navios Europe II, including the individual fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities of Navios Europe II.

On April 21, 2020, Navios Europe II agreed with the lender to fully release the liabilities under the Junior Loan II for $5,000. Following the decision of the shareholders of Navios Europe II in May 2020 to liquidate the structure, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors, approved the allocation of assets. As part of the transaction, it is anticipated that Navios Holdings will receive cash subject to working capital adjustments at closing and will acquire two unencumbered Panamax dry bulk vessels in full satisfaction of Navios Europe II’s obligations to Navios Holdings. Closing is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2020. No assurances can be provided that definitive agreements will be executed or that the transaction will be completed in whole or in part.

Secured credit facility with Navios Logistics: On April 25, 2019, Navios Holdings entered into a secured credit facility of $50,000 with Navios Logistics to be used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of 2022 Notes. This credit facility is secured by (i) any 2022 Notes purchased by Navios Holdings with these funds and (ii) equity interests in five subsidiaries of the Company that have entered into certain bareboat contracts. The credit facility is available in multiple drawings, has an arrangement fee of $500, a fixed interest rate of 12.75% for the first year and a fixed interest rate of 14.75% for the second year, payable annually. The secured credit facility includes negative covenants substantially similar to the 2022 Notes and customary events of default. In December 2019, Navios Holdings and Navios Logistics agreed to increase the amount by $20,000 and amended the interest rate of the whole facility to 12.75% or 10.0% if certain conditions are met. The credit facility matures in April 2021 or December 2024 if certain conditions are met. As of March 31, 2020, the amount of $70,000 was drawn under this facility of which $18,726 was used to acquire the 2022 Notes from Navios Logistics and the remaining amount was used to repurchase 2022 Notes.

NSM Loan: On August 29, 2019, Navios Holdings entered into a secured credit facility of $141,795 (including post-closing adjustments) with Navios Shipmanagement Holdings Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of NSM. In general, the amount owed reflects the excess of (i) the liabilities of the ship management business (including liabilities for advances previously made by affiliates to the Company for ongoing operating costs, including technical management services, supplies, dry-docking and related expenses) other than liabilities the assumption of which forms part of the consideration for the Transaction over (ii) the short term assets of the ship management business. The Company’s obligations under the NSM Loan are guaranteed by substantially the same subsidiaries that guarantee the 2022 Notes and secured by assets of the Company that do not secure the Ship Mortgage Notes or the Company’s 11.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2022. The credit facility is repayable over a five-year period; of the initial amount, $47,000 was repayable in 2020 in equal quarterly installments, with the remaining principal repayment in equal quarterly installments over the following 48 months. In certain cases, principal payments can be deferred provided that no more than $20,000 of deferral may be outstanding during the first or second year and $10,000 outstanding in the third year. The loan agreement provides for interest at 5% annually, and 7% annually for deferred principal amounts. During December 2019, Navios Holdings repaid the amount of $13,420 under the terms of this facility. Following the closing of the Navios Europe II liquidation, the receivables are to be paid to NSM as per the terms of the NSM Loan.

As of March 31, 2020, the outstanding balance was $128,375 (December 31, 2019: $128,375) and the accrued interest was $818 (December 31, 2019: $2,163). Of the outstanding amount and accrued interest, $5,848 is included in “Current portion of loan payable to affiliate companies”.

$50.0 million NSM Loan: In June 2020, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement with Navios Shipmanagement Holdings Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of NSM for a loan of up to $50,000 to be used for general corporate purposes. The terms and conditions of the secured loan agreement were approved by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors. The loan agreement will be repayable in 18 equal consecutive quarterly installments. Principal payments that fall due during the first year following the initial drawdown may be deferred, at the Company’s election, in whole or in part. The loan agreement provides for interest at a rate of 5% annually (and 7% annually for deferred principal amounts). No amount has been drawn to date.

The Company’s obligations under the $50.0 million NSM Loan are guaranteed by first priority security interests in a vessel, as well as pledge of certain First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2022 owned by Navios Holdings and 104,069 common units in Navios Containers and second pledge for certain First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2022 owned by Navios Holdings.

NOTE 13: (LOSS)/ EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE

(Loss)/Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to Navios Holdings common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Navios Holdings outstanding during the periods presented. Net (loss)/income attributable to Navios Holdings common stockholders is calculated by adding to (if a discount) or deducting from (if a premium) net (loss)/ income attributable to Navios Holdings common stockholders the difference between the fair value of the consideration paid upon redemption and the carrying value of the preferred stock, including the unamortized issuance costs of the preferred stock, and the amount of any undeclared dividend cancelled.

In addition to the Navios Term Loans I, Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners would also make available to Navios Europe I revolving loans up to $24,100 to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans I”). In December 2018, the amount of the Navios Revolving Loans I increased by $30,000.

On an ongoing basis, Navios Europe I was required to distribute cash flows (after payment of operating expenses and amounts due pursuant to the terms of the Senior Loans I) according to a defined waterfall calculation.

Navios Holdings had evaluated its investment in Navios Europe I under ASC 810 and concluded that Navios Europe I was a VIE and that it was not the party most closely associated with Navios Europe I and, accordingly, was not the primary beneficiary of Navios Europe I.

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

The initial amount provided for in Navios Europe I of $4,750 at the inception included the Company’s share of the basis difference between the fair value and the underlying book value of the assets of Navios Europe I, which amounted to $6,763. This difference had been amortized through “Equity in net (losses)/earnings of affiliated companies” over the remaining life of Navios Europe I.

Following the liquidation of Navios Europe I Navios Holdings received the outstanding receivable amount of $13,420, in December 2019. (Note 9).

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the estimated maximum potential loss by Navios Holdings in Navios Europe II would have been $31,600 and $44,300, respectively, which represents the Company’s carrying value of its investment and balance of Navios Term Loans II of $7,558 and $14,208, respectively, plus the Company’s balance of the Navios Revolving Loans II of $24,042 and $30,092, respectively, including accrued interest, and does not include the undrawn portion of the Navios Revolving Loans II.

As of March 31, 2020, the Company considered the decline in fair value of its investment in Navios Europe II as OTTI and therefore recognized a loss of $6,650 in the accompanying consolidated statement of comprehensive (loss)/income.

NOTE 15: LEASES

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842. ASC 842 revised the accounting for leases. Under the ASC 842, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all leases. The new lease standard will continue to classify leases as either financing or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition. The accounting applied by a lessor under the ASC 842 is substantially equivalent to prior lease accounting guidance (ASC 840).

The following are the type of contracts that fall under ASC 842:

Time charter out contracts

The Company’s contract revenues from time chartering are governed by ASC 842. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the timing and recognition of earnings from the time charter contracts to which the Company is party did not change from previous practice. In a time charter contract, the Company is responsible for all the costs incurred for running the vessel such as crew costs, vessel insurance, repairs and maintenance and lubes. The charterer bears the voyage related costs such as bunker expenses, port charges and canal tolls during the hire period. The Company has determined to recognize lease revenue as a combined single lease component for all time charters (operating leases) as the related lease component and non-lease component will have the same timing and pattern of the revenue recognition of the combined single lease component. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over the term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company. The Company determined that all time charter contracts are considered operating leases and therefore fall under the scope of ASC 842 because: (i) the vessel is an identifiable asset; (ii) the Company does not have substantive substitution rights; and (iii) the charterer has the right to control the use of the vessel during the term of the contract and derives the economic benefits from such use.

The transition guidance associated with ASC 842 allows for certain practical expedients to the lessors. The Company elected to not separate the lease and non-lease components included in the time charter revenue because (i) the pattern of revenue recognition for the lease and non-lease components (included in the daily hire rate) is the same. The daily hire rate represents the hire rate for a bare boat charter as well as the compensation for expenses incurred running the vessel such as crewing expense, repairs, insurance, maintenance and lubes. Both the lease and non-lease components are earned by passage of time.

As a result of the adoption of these standards, there was no effect on the Company’s opening retained earnings, consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income.

Time charter in contracts

As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings had time charter-in contracts whose remaining lease terms ranged from 0.3 years to 10.2 years. Certain operating leases have optional periods. Based on management estimates and market conditions, the lease term of these leases is being assessed at each balance sheet date. Regarding leases that have not yet commenced refer to Note 8. The Company will continue to recognize the lease payments for all operating leases as charter hire expense on the consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss)/income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

 

F-36


NAVIOS MARITIME HOLDINGS INC.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars — except share data)

 

Land lease agreements

As of March 31, 2020, Navios Logistics had land lease agreements whose remaining lease terms range from 45.9 years to 46.3 years.

Office lease agreements

As of March 31, 2020, Navios Logistics had office lease agreements whose remaining lease terms ranged from 0.1 years to 3.6 years. Following the sale of the management division effected on August 30, 2019, outlined in Note 3, Navios Holdings has no office lease obligations.

Under ASC 842, leases are classified as either finance or operating arrangements, with such classification affecting the pattern and classification of expense recognition in an entity’s income statement. For operating leases, ASC 842 requires recognition in an entity’s income statement of a single lease expense, calculated so that the cost of the lease is allocated over the lease term, generally on a straight-line basis. Right-of-use assets represent a right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and the related lease liability represents an obligation to make lease payments pursuant to the contractual terms of the lease agreement.

In connection with its adoption of ASC 842, the Company elected the “package of 3” practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance based on which the Company is allowed to not (i) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient allowed under the transition guidance of ASC 842 to not separate the lease and non-lease components related to a lease contract and to account for them as a single lease component for the purposes of the recognition and measurement requirements of ASC 842.

Prior to January 1, 2019, the Company recognized lease expense in accordance with then-existing U.S. GAAP (“prior GAAP”). Because both ASC 842 and prior GAAP generally recognize operating lease expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease arrangement and the Company only has operating lease arrangements, there were no differences between the timing and amount of lease expense recognized under the two accounting methodologies.

At lease commencement, the Company determines a discount rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments so that it can determine lease classification and measure the lease liability. In determining the discount rate to be used at lease commencement, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate as there was no implicit rate included in charter-in contracts, land lease and office lease agreements that can be readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate that reflects the interest a lessee would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment. The Company then applied the respective incremental borrowing rates to each lease based on the remaining lease term of the specific lease. Navios Holdings’ and Navios Logistics’ incremental borrowing rates upon adoption were 8.25% and 7.25%, respectively. As of January 1, 2020, Navios Holdings’ incremental borrowing rate was 7.97%.
