(firmenpresse) - PIRAEUS, GREECE -- (Marketwire) -- 08/21/12 -- Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (NYSE: NNA)
Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation ("Navios Acquisition"), an owner and operator of tanker vessels, today reported its financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Acquisition stated, "I am pleased with the results of our quarter. We increased revenue by 38.1% to $35.9 million and EBITDA by 54.4% to $22.7 million. We also declared a quarterly dividend of $0.05 per share, reflecting a yield of about 7% on our common stock."
Ms. Frangou continued, "Navios Acquisition has been able to execute on its strategy while most of its peers have been struggling. We grew our fleet by 375% during the past two years to 29 vessels and achieved economies of scale. Today, we are well positioned with a young fleet, average charter-out duration of 3.3 years, and profit sharing on 20 of our vessels. All of our available days are fixed for 2012 and about 83% of available days are fixed for 2013. We have a low cash flow breakeven and an EBITDA run rate approaching $100 million. As result, we are stronger today than we have been previously."
On August 13, 2012, the Board of Directors of Navios Acquisition declared a quarterly cash dividend for the second quarter of 2012 of $0.05 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on October 3, 2012 to stockholders of record as of September 19, 2012. The declaration and payment of any further dividends remains subject to the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, Navios Acquisition's cash requirements as measured by market opportunities and restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board may deem advisable.
On July 31, 2012, Navios Acquisition took delivery of the Nave Atria, a 50,000 dwt MR2 product tanker, from a South Korean shipyard. The vessel is chartered-out at net daily charter rate of $13,331 per day for a period of three years plus two one year options. The charter contract also provides for 50% profit sharing.
As of August 21, 2012, Navios Acquisition has contracted 100.0%, 83.0% and 54.0% of its available days on a charter-out basis for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, equivalent to $152.4 million, $174.5 million and $139.0 million of revenue, respectively. The average contractual daily charter-out rate for the fleet is $25,343, $22,589 and $25,848 for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively.
For the following results and the selected financial data presented herein, Navios Acquisition has compiled consolidated statement of operations for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. The quarterly and six month information for 2012 and 2011 was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the respective periods.
EBITDA is a non-US GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or substitution for Navios Acquisition's results (see Exhibit II for reconciliation of EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities).
Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 increased by $9.9 million or 38.1% to $35.9 million, as compared to $26.0 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to the delivery of the Shinyo Kieran in June 2011, the acquisition of the Buddy and the Bull in July 2011, the Nave Andromeda in November 2011 and the Nave Estella in January 2012. As a result of the vessel acquisitions, available days of the fleet increased to 1,316 days for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to 887 days for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The time charter equivalent ("TCE") rate decreased to $26,458 for the three month period ended June 30, 2012, from $29,322 for the three month period ended June 30, 2011.
EBITDA for the three months ended June 30, 2012, increased by $8.0 million to $22.7 million, as compared to $14.7 million for the same period of 2011. The increase in EBITDA was due to a: (a) $9.9 million increase in revenue following the acquisition of the Shinyo Kieran, the Buddy, the Bull, the Nave Andromeda and the Nave Estella; (b) $0.9 million decrease in write off of deferred finance costs; (c) $0.3 million decrease in other expense, net; and (d) $0.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses. The above increase was partially offset by a: (a) $3.0 million increase in management fees due to the increased number of vessels in Navios Acquisition's fleet; and (b) $0.1 million increase in time charter expenses.
Net loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $1.9 million compared to a $3.2 million loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net loss by $1.3 million was due to the $8.0 million increase in EBITDA partially offset by a: (a) $0.6 million increase in direct vessel expenses; (b) $2.1 million increase of interest expenses and finance cost, net; (c) $3.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization due to the acquisitions of the Shinyo Kieran, the Buddy, the Bull, the Nave Andromeda and the Nave Estella; and (d) $0.3 million decrease in interest income.
Revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 increased by $20.6 million or 40.3% to $71.7 million, as compared to $51.1 million for the same period in 2011. The increase was mainly attributable to the deliveries of the Shinyo Kieran in June 2011, of the Buddy and the Bull in July 2011, the Nave Andromeda in November 2011 and the Nave Estella in January 2012. As a result of the vessel acquisitions, available days of the fleet increased to 2,635 days for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, as compared to 1,761 days for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The time charter equivalent ("TCE") rate decreased to $26,571 for the six month period ended June 30, 2012, from $29,045 for the six month period ended June 30, 2011.
EBITDA for the six months ended June 30, 2012, increased by $15.7 million to $46.4 million, as compared to $30.7 million for the same period of 2011. The increase in EBITDA was due to a: (a) $20.6 million increase in revenue following the acquisition of the Shinyo Kieran the Buddy, the Bull, the Nave Andromeda and the Nave Estella; (b) $0.9 million decrease in write off of deferred finance costs; (c) $0.7 million increase in other income, net; and (d) $0.2 million decrease in general and administrative expenses. The above increase was partially offset by a: (a) $6.5 million increase in management fees due to the increased number of vessels in Navios Acquisition's fleet; and (b) $0.3 million increase in time charter expenses.
Net loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2012 amounted to $2.7 million compared to a $3.6 million loss for the six month period ended June 30, 2011. The decrease in net loss by $0.9 million was due to the $15.7 million increase in EBITDA partially offset by a: (a) $1.1 million increase in direct vessel expenses; (b) $5.4 million increase of interest expenses and finance cost, net; (c) $7.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization due to the acquisitions of the Shinyo Kieran, the Buddy, the Bull, the Nave Andromeda and the Nave Estella; and (d) $0.6 million decrease in interest income.
The following table reflects certain key indicators indicative of the performance of Navios Acquisition and its core fleet for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011.
for the fleet are total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition's possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydocking or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.
: Operating days are the number of available days in the relevant period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels are off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a relevant period during which vessels actually generate revenues.
Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Holdings' vessels were available for generating revenue, and is determined by dividing the number of operating days during a relevant period by the number of available days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels.
: Time Charter Equivalent is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a relevant period divided by the number of available days during the period.

This press release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and Navios Acquisition's growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy; including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further time charters. Words such as "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "anticipates," "hopes," "estimates," and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include comments regarding expected revenue and time charters. Although Navios Acquisition believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements involve known and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Navios Acquisition. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to changes in the demand for crude oil, product and chemical tanker vessels, competitive factors in the market in which Navios Acquisition operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in the Navios Acquisition's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Navios Acquisition expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Navios Acquisition's expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based.
EBITDA represents net income/ (loss) plus interest expenses and finance cost plus depreciation and amortization and income taxes.
EBITDA is presented because Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and present useful information to investors regarding Navios Acquisition's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and pay dividends. EBITDA is a "non-GAAP financial measure" and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
