PIRAEUS, Greece, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) (NYSE: NM), a global, vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company, today reported financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009.

“I am pleased with our financial performance for the quarter. We generated approximately $56.0 million of EBITDA. This quarter reflects a year’s worth of hard work positioning Navios in the market. Our efforts were recognized, as we successfully accessed the high yield market and closed on a $400.0 million secured note offering with a coupon of 8 7/8%,” stated Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and CEO of Navios Holdings.

Ms. Frangou continued, “With our growing cash flow and stable balance sheet, we are positioned to take advantage of opportunities that will develop. While we are optimistic about the prospects for the world’s economies, we continue to monitor the health of our industry by reviewing the supply of new vessels and availability of financing from commercial banks.”

THIRD QUARTER 2009 HIGHLIGHTS — RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Issuance of $400.0 million of 8-7/8% first priority mortgage notes

In November 2009, Navios Holdings completed the sale of $400.0 million of 8-7/8% first priority ship mortgage notes due 2017 (the ”Notes”). The Notes are guaranteed by all of the subsidiaries that provide a guarantee of Navios Holdings’ 9-1/2% senior notes due 2014. As of the closing date, the Notes are secured by first priority ship mortgages on 13 drybulk vessels owned by certain subsidiary guarantors. Of the offering proceeds, $105.0 million has been escrowed to provide additional financing to complete the purchase of two new vessels expected to be delivered in late 2009 (which will become part of the collateral securing the Notes). The balance of the offering proceeds have been used to repay borrowings under certain of Navios Holdings’ existing credit facilities and to pay transaction and related expenses.

Sale of Navios Apollon

On October 29, 2009, Navios Holdings sold to Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners”) the Navios Apollon, a 2000 built Ultra-Handymax vessel with a capacity of 52,073 dwt, chartered out at a net rate of $23,700 per day until November 2012. The sale price amounted to $32.0 million and was received entirely in cash. Part of the proceeds of the sale, amounting to $18.3 million was used to repay existing indebtedness.

Acquisition of Navios Celestial

In September 2009, Navios Holdings acquired the Navios Celestial, a 2009 built Ultra-Handymax vessel, of 58,084 dwt, from a Japanese Shipyard. The vessel’s nominal purchase price of $36.2 million was funded with $31.2 million of cash, and $5.0 million in mandatorily convertible preferred stock. As a result, the vessel’s effective purchase price was $33.7 million, using the $10.00 mandatory conversion price of the preferred stock.

    (*) Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS for the three

        of assets.

Revenue from vessel operations for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $121.3 million as compared to $329.8 million for the same period during 2008. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to a) the decrease in Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) per day by 51.7% to $24,061 per day in the third quarter of 2009 from $49,769 per day in the same period of 2008 and b) the decrease in the available days for the fleet by 34.6% to 3,949 in the third quarter of 2009 from 6,036 days in the same period of 2008. The decrease in available days is mainly attributable to the significantly reduced short term fleet activity by 2,524 days, from 3,112 days in the third quarter of 2008 to 588 days in the third quarter of 2009.

Revenue from the logistics business was $39.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $33.5 million during the same period of 2008. This increase was mainly due to the increased fleet of Navios Logistics (which became fully operating in the fourth quarter of 2008) compared to the same period of 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2009 increased by $23.8 million to $55.8 million compared to $32.0 million for the third quarter of 2008. Including the gain on sale of assets in 2008, EBITDA for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 was $55.7 million and $57.0 million, respectively. The $1.3 million decrease in EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in revenue by $202.7 million from $363.3 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $160.6 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs) by $1.4 million from $6.0 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $7.4 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in general and administrative expenses by $0.8 million from $8.6 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $9.4 million for the same period in 2009 (excluding $0.6 million and $0.8 million share-based compensation for the third quarter of 2009 and 2008, respectively), a decrease in gain from derivatives by $1.2 million from $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2008 to $2.2 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in net other expenses by $0.6 million, a decrease in gains from sale of assets by $24.9 million and an increase in income attributable to non-controlling interests by $0.9 million from $0.9 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $1.8 million in the same period of 2009. This overall variance of $232.5 million was mitigated by a decrease in time charter, voyage and logistic business expenses by $225.6 million from $321.0 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $95.4 million in the same period in 2009 and an increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies by $5.6 million, from $3.9 million for the third quarter of 2008 to $9.5 million for the same period of 2009.

EBITDA from the logistics business was $11.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $9.7 million during the same period in 2008.

Net income for third quarter ended September 30, 2009 was $21.3 million as compared to $30.7 million for the comparable period of 2008. The decrease of net income by $9.4 million was mainly due to the decrease of $1.3 million in EBITDA discussed above, an increase of depreciation and amortization by $5.3 million, the increase in net interest expense by $3.7. These were mitigated by the decrease in income tax by $0.6 million, the decrease in amortization for drydock and special survey costs by $0.1 million and the $0.2 million decrease in share-based compensation.

     Adjusted EPS                $0.46        $0.36

    (*) Adjusted EBITDA, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009,
        excludes $16.8 million gain on sale of assets, $6.1 million non cash
        compensation from Navios Partners and $13.8 million unrealized mark-
        to-market losses on common units of Navios Partners, accounted for as
        available for sale securities. Adjusted EBITDA, for the nine months
        ended September 30, 2008, excludes $27.7 million gain on sale of
        assets. Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EPS also exclude the items
        described above. Adjusted Net income and Adjusted EPS for the nine
        months ended September 30, 2008, were further adjusted to exclude a
        $57.3 million write-off of deferred Belgian taxes.

Revenue from vessel operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $346.1 million as compared to $983.5 million for the same period during 2008. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to a) the decrease in TCE per day by 44.8% to $26,353 per day in the first nine months of 2009 from $47,798 per day in the same period of 2008 and b) the decrease in the available days for the fleet by 36.0% to 11,550 in the first nine months of 2009 from 18,040 days in the same period of 2008. The decrease in available days is mainly attributable to the significantly reduced short term fleet activity by 4,580 days, from 9,208 days in the first nine months of 2008 to 2,059 days in the first nine months of 2009.

Revenue from the logistics business was $103.8 million in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to $80.5 million during the same period of 2008. This increase was mainly due to the increased fleet of Navios Logistics (which commenced operations in the fourth quarter of 2008) compared to the same period of 2008.

Adjusted EBITDA for the first nine months of 2009 increased by $29.0 million to $142.4 million compared to $113.4 million for the first nine months of 2008. Including one off adjustments described above EBITDA for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 was $151.5 million and $141.1 million, respectively. The $10.4 million increase in EBITDA was primarily due to a decrease in time charter, voyage and logistic business expenses by $627.6 million from $897.6 million in the first nine months of 2008 to $270.0 million in the same period in 2009, an increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies by $7.7 million, from $12.3 million for the first nine months of 2008 to $20.0 million for the same period of 2009 This overall favorable variance of $635.3 million was mitigated mainly by a decrease in revenue by $582.0 million from $1,031.9 million in the first nine months of 2008 to $449.9 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs) by $3.7 million from $17.6 million in the first nine months of 2008 to $21.3 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in general and administrative expenses by $4.4 million from $25.0 million in the first nine months of 2008 to $29.4 million for the same period in 2009 (excluding $1.6 million and $2.2 million share-based compensation for the first nine months of 2009 and 2008, respectively), a decrease in gain from derivatives by $10.8 million from $13.6 million for the first nine months of 2008 to $2.8 million for the same period in 2009, an increase in net other expenses by $12.0 million, an increase in income attributable to non-controlling interests by $1.1 million from $2.7 million in the first nine months of 2008 to $3.8 million in the same period of 2009, and a decrease in gains from sale of assets by $10.9 million.

EBITDA from the logistics business was $25.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $23.8 million during the same period in 2008.

Net income for nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $55.4 million as compared to $124.1 million for the comparable period of 2008. The decrease of net income by $68.7 million was mainly due to the increase in depreciation and amortization by $9.7 million, the increase in net interest expense by $14.0 million, the increase in drydock amortization by $0.4 million and the decrease in income taxes by $55.6 million mainly due to the write-of of deferred income taxes of $57.3 million in the first nine months of 2008. These were mitigated by the increase of $10.4 million in EBITDA discussed above, as well as the $0.6 million decrease in share-based compensation.

Purchase Options:

Navios Holdings has options to acquire three of the 17 chartered-in vessels currently in operation within the next two years (one Capesize, and two Ultra-Handymaxes) and eight of the ten long-term chartered-in vessels on order (on two of the 11 purchase options Navios Holdings holds a 50% initial purchase option).

    (1) Available days for fleet are total calendar days the vessels were in
        Navios Holdings' possession for the relevant period after subtracting
        off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydocks or special
        surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the
        number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be
        capable of generating revenues.

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

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

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

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA: EBITDA represents net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Navios Holdings believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and believes that EBITDA presents useful information to investors regarding Navios Holdings’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before gains on sales of assets

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of Navios Holdings’ results as reported under US GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Holdings’ performance.
