Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter and Six Months Ended June 30, 2012
Dividend of $0.06 per Share for Q2 2012; $249.0 Million Available Liquidity; Strong EBITDA Generation of $61.1 Million -- EPS of $0.05 per Share; 2012 Fleet Coverage of 93.4%
(firmenpresse) - PIRAEUS, GREECE -- (Marketwire) -- 08/23/12 -- Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. ("Navios Holdings") (NYSE: NM), a global, vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2012.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Holdings, stated, "We are pleased to report our results for the second quarter of 2012. We had solid performance in a market environment that continues to be challenging. Our dual focus during this difficult time has been on what we can control -- the efficiency of our fleet and strength of our balance sheet. As a result, vessel utilization is close to 100% and our operating cost is about 33% below the industry average. We also reduced our break even cost by 10% in the 6 months since 2011. In terms of our balance sheet, net debt to capitalization is 50%, an 80 basis point reduction in the 6 months since 2011. Consequently, we can continue to return capital to our shareholders through dividend payments and declared a $.06 dividend for the second quarter of 2012."
Ms. Frangou continued, "In July 2012, Navios issued $88 million of add-on 8 7/8% notes due in 2017. These notes, issued at par, eliminated a refinancing risk for 2015 and replaced amortizing bank debt. These notes also worked to reduce our cash flow break even and eliminated loan to value covenants, which have created instability in other businesses due to the decline in asset values. We believe that this transaction demonstrates our continued access to the capital markets even in these trying times."
On July 10, 2012, Navios Holdings issued $88.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8 7/8% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2017 (the "Notes") at par value. The terms of the Notes are identical to the $400.0 million of 8 7/8% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2017 that were issued in November 2009 (the "Existing Notes") and are secured by first priority ship mortgages on 17 drybulk vessels owned by certain subsidiary guarantors and certain other associated property and contract rights. The proceeds were used to partially repay $88.6 million of bank debt. This eliminates refinancing risk in 2015 and reduces cash flow breakeven.
On June 15, 2012, Navios Holdings sold the Navios Buena Ventura, a 2010-built Capesize vessel of 179,259 deadweight ton ("dwt") to its affiliate, Navios Maritime Partners L.P. ("Navios Partners") for cash consideration of $67.5 million and repaid in full $26.8 million of indebtedness associated with the vessel.
On July 24, 2012, Navios Holdings repaid in full the outstanding amount of its $20.0 million unsecured bond due in July 2012.
Navios Holdings has long-term fleet employment for periods up to ten years. As of August 22, 2012, Navios Holdings had chartered-out 93.4%, 41.3% and 24.4% of available days for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, equivalent to $279.8 million, $169.6 million and $110.9 million in revenue, respectively. The average daily charter-out rate for the core fleet is $20,870, $28,363 and $31,590 for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The average daily charter-in rate for the active long-term charter-in vessels for 2012 is $12,656.
The above figures do not include the fleet of Navios South American Logistics Inc. ("Navios Logistics") and vessels servicing Contracts of Affreightment.
Net Debt to Total Capitalization was 50% as of June 30, 2012. Navios Holdings' total available liquidity, including lines of credit, as of June 30, 2012 was approximately $248.6 million.
On August 20, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the second quarter of 2012 of $0.06 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on October 4, 2012 to stockholders of record as of September 18, 2012. The declaration and payment of any further dividend remain subject to the discretion of the Board and will depend on, among other things, Navios Holdings' cash requirements after taking into account market opportunities, restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board may deem advisable.
During the second quarter of 2012, Navios Logistics began the construction of a new conveyor belt in its dry port facility in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay, which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2013.
During the second quarter of 2012, Navios Logistics began the construction of four new tank barges, which are expected to be delivered gradually starting from September 2012 through June 2013.

Another tank with a capacity of 2,100 cubic meters is currently under construction and is expected to be completed in September 2012. This tank will increase the total storage capacity of the liquid port to 45,660 cubic meters.
On August 13, 2012, Navios Holdings received $7.3 million representing the cash distribution from Navios Partners for the second quarter of 2012.
On July 3, 2012, Navios Holdings received $1.3 million representing the cash distribution from Navios Acquisition for the first quarter of 2012.

Revenue from drybulk vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 was $98.8 million as compared to $110.7 million for the same period during 2011.

Revenue from the logistics business was $73.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 as compared to $54.7 million for the same period of 2011.This increase was mainly attributable to (a) increases in volumes and rates in the dry and liquid port terminals, (b) an increase in the time charter rates of the cabotage vessels and (c) the expansion of the barge fleet in the third quarter of 2011.
