ID: 1172799

(firmenpresse) - PIRAEUS, GREECE -- (Marketwire) -- 11/19/12 -- Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. ("Navios Holdings" or "the Company") (NYSE: NM)











Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. ("Navios Holdings" or "the Company") (NYSE: NM), a global, vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Holdings stated, "We had a solid quarter in a market environment that continues to be challenging. We also had a good nine months, reporting net income of $19.4 million and EBITDA of $184.4 million. As a result, we can continue returning capital to our shareholders through dividend payments and declared a $0.06 dividend for Q3 2012 to shareholders of record on December 18, 2012."

Ms. Frangou continued, "Navios Holdings agreed to restructure the insurance arrangement with its credit default insurer. We believe that Navios Holdings will be stronger post the restructuring, as Navios will receive $175.4 million lump sum cash payment and $41.2 million of charter revenue covered by the restructured credit default insurance policy. We also enjoy market upside from the vessels relating to defaulted charters. We would not have had either of these advantages under the old insurance regime."





Navios Holdings announced today that it agreed to restructure its credit default insurance. In connection with this restructuring, Navios Holdings will receive:

$175.4 million lump sum cash payment; and

$41.2 million of revenue covered under the restructured credit default insurance policy

In addition, Navios Holdings has agreed to provide supplemental charter insurance to Navios Maritime Partners L.P. ("Navios Partners") with a maximum cash payment of $20.0 million.



Navios Holdings will receive $175.4 million of cash from the credit default insurer, composed, in part, of $164.4 million attributable to defaulted charters. The remaining $11.0 million is not attributable to any charter and represents excess cash compensation.





Navios Holdings will receive 100% of all amounts due for defaulted charter contracts in a lump sum at closing, instead of during the insurance payment schedule. The Company estimates that the cash payment will result in a net present value benefit of $25.5 million (assuming an 8% discount rate and 7-year payment period).



Under the restructuring, Navios Holdings will receive an undiscounted cash payment for its defaulted charter contracts. To the extent that the related vessels are rechartered for an amount greater than certain assumed daily mitigation rates ($15,000 for Capesize, $10,000 for Panamax, and $8,000 for Ultra Handymax vessels), such excess offers Navios Holdings significant potential upside. Navios Holdings estimates that it will earn annually $3.3 million for every $1,000 per day earned above those mitigation rates.



The Company has $41.2 million of charters participating in the pool insurance coverage from the credit default insurer. This insurance covers charters totaling $217.1 million of both Navios Holdings and Navios Partners and will pay a maximum cash amount of $120.0 million. All of Navios Holdings' counterparties included in the pool insurance are rated as investment grade by recognized rating agencies. All of the Navios Partners' counterparties included in the pool insurance are rated as investment grade by recognized rating agencies.



As part of restructuring of the credit default insurance and pursuant to the management agreement between the parties, Navios Holdings agreed to provide supplemental charter insurance to Navios Partners with a maximum cash payment of $20.0 million. The supplemental insurance covers $76.7 million of charters which are not included in the restructured insurance from the credit default insurer.



Navios Holdings anticipates using the proceeds to repay debt and for general corporate purposes.
Closing of the credit default insurance restructuring is expected within November 2012, subject to customary closing conditions and required approvals by financing banks.



As of November 15, 2012, Navios Holdings has long-term fleet employment for periods up to nine years. As of November 15, 2012, Navios Holdings had chartered-out 98.0%, 33.7% and 10.6% of available days for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively, equivalent to $262.4 million, $93.2 million and $47.4 million in revenue, respectively. The average daily charter-out rate for the core fleet is $18,907, $18,688 and $30,343 for 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The average daily charter-in rate for the active long-term charter-in vessels for 2012 is $12,708.

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 post insurance transaction is 42.9% and liquidity is $395.5 million. Net Debt to Total Capitalization was 49.7% as of September 30, 2012. Navios Holdings' total liquidity, including lines of credit, as of September 30, 2012 was approximately $243.4 million.



On November 12, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the third quarter of 2012 of $0.06 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on January 4, 2013 to stockholders of record as of December 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.



In October 2012, Navios Logistics completed the construction of a new tank with a static storage capacity of 2,100 cubic meters which increased the total static storage capacity of the liquid port in San Antonio, Paraguay to 45,660 cubic meters.

Navios Logistics acquired one pushboat and six tank barges that were previously chartered-in for a total consideration of $15.9 million. Pursuant to an agreement between the parties, the transaction was effective in July 2012.



On November 13, 2012, Navios Holdings received $7.3 million representing the cash distribution from Navios Partners for the third quarter of 2012.



On October 3, 2012, Navios Holdings received $1.3 million representing the cash distribution from Navios Acquisition for the second quarter of 2012.



Navios Holdings controls a fleet of 51 vessels totaling 5.1 million dwt, of which 30 are owned and 21 are chartered-in under long-term charters (collectively, the "Core Fleet"). Navios Holdings currently operates 47 vessels (16 Capesize, 11 Panamax, 18 Ultra-Handymax and two Handysize) totaling 4.8 million dwt. Additionally, Navios Holdings has four newbuilding charter-in vessels expected to be delivered at various dates through August 2013. The current average age of the operating fleet is 5.8 years.

Exhibit II provides certain details of the "Core Fleet" of Navios Holdings. It does not include the fleet of Navios Logistics.





The third quarter 2012 and 2011 information presented below was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the respective periods. EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measures, and should not be used in isolation or as substitution for Navios Holdings' results.

Navios Holdings' total consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $9.9 million to $163.9 million as compared to $173.8 million for the same period during 2011.

Revenue from drybulk vessel operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $98.9 million as compared to $105.0 million for the same period during 2011. The decrease in drybulk revenue was mainly attributable to (i) a decrease in the time charter equivalent rate ("TCE") per day by 17.9% to $18,785 per day in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to $22,884 per day in the same period of 2011 and (ii) a decrease in the short-term charter-in fleet available days of 174 days. This decrease was partially offset by (i) an increase in available days for owned vessels by 10.5% to 2,750 days in the third quarter of 2012 from 2,489 days in the same period of 2011 and (ii) an increase in the long-term charter-in fleet available days of 450 days.

Revenue from the logistics business was $65.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to $68.8 million for the same period of 2011.This decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in the Paraguayan liquid port's volume of products sold.

EBITDA of Navios Holdings for the three months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by $6.5 million to $60.8 million as compared to $67.3 million for the same period of 2011. The $6.5 million decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to: (a) a decrease in revenue of $9.9 million; (b) an increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs) of $4.0 million; (c) an increase in losses from derivatives of $0.1 million; and (d) a $0.7 million increase in net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. This overall variance of $14.7 million was mitigated by (a) a $4.6 million decrease in time charter, voyage and port terminal expenses; (b) a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1.6 million (excluding share based compensation expenses); (c) a decrease in net other expenses of $1.6 million; and (d) an increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies of $0.4 million.

Net income of Navios Holdings for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $4.6 million as compared to $16.3 million for the same period of 2011.
