MONACO, Feb. 09, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition”) (NYSE:NNA), an owner and operator of tanker vessels, reported its financial results today for the fourth quarter and the year ended December 31, 2016. 

Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Acquisition stated, “We are pleased to announce our results for the full year of 2016, where Navios Acquisition reported EBITDA of $194.6 million and net income of $62.9 million.  For the fourth quarter, Navios Acquisition reported EBITDA of $49.9 million and net income of $18.1 million.  We also declared a dividend of $0.05 per share for the fourth quarter, resulting in a dividend yield of 11.6%.”

Angeliki Frangou continued, “Our chartering policy of seeking long-term charters provided us with superior returns at a time when favorable period charters were unavailable and spot rates were correcting. The strength of our chartering policy can be seen through our average 2016 charter rate for our fleet, which was about 11% higher than the market average rate. When combined with our leading cost management, Navios Acquisition has been able to pay a dividend for the last seven years, while having sufficient room to meet our various other corporate requirements “

Time Charter Coverage and commitments

Navios Acquisition currently owns 36 vessels, of which eight are VLCCs, 26 are product tankers and two are chemical tankers.

As of February 3, 2017, Navios Acquisition had contracted 75.4% and 15.8% of its available days on a charter-out basis for 2017 and 2018, respectively, expecting to generate revenues of approximately $146.4 million and $21.3 million, respectively. The average contractual daily charter-out rate for the fleet is expected to be $18,629 and $17,202 for 2017 and 2018, respectively.  

During the year ended December 31, 2016, Navios Acquisition recognized $7.6 million, under its profit sharing arrangements.

During the first quarter of 2017, Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. (“Navios Midstream”), entered into new charter contracts for the Nave Celeste, the Shinyo Ocean and the Shinyo Kannika with third parties, which provide for index linked charter rates or pool earnings. Navios Acquisition has agreed to provide backstop commitments for a two-year period at a net rate of $35,000 per day for the Nave Celeste, $38,400 per day for the Shinyo Ocean and $38,025 per day for the Shinyo Kannika.

The facility is repayable in four equal consecutive quarterly installments of $0.7 million each, with a final balloon payment of the balance to be repaid on the last repayment date.

Three month periods ended December 31, 2016 and 2015   

Revenue for the three month period ended December 31, 2016 decreased by $9.4 million or 12.3% to $67.3 million, as compared to $76.7 million for the same period of 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to a: (a) decrease in revenue by $3.4 million due to the sale of one MR2 product tanker in January 2016 and two chemical tankers in October and November 2016; and (b) decrease in profit sharing by approximately $6.0 million. The decrease was partially mitigated by the increase in revenue following the deliveries of two VLCCs in the fourth quarter of 2015. Available days of the fleet decreased to 3,343 days for the three month period ended December 31, 2016, as compared to 3,386 days for the three month period ended December 31, 2015. The TCE Rate decreased to $19,683 for the three month period ended December 31, 2016, from $22,291 for the three month period ended December 31, 2015.

EBITDA for the three month period ended December 31, 2016 decreased by approximately $2.7 million to $49.9 million from $52.6 million in the same period of 2015. The decrease in EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $9.4 million decrease in revenue; (b) $2.8 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; (c) $0.8 million increase in other expense; (d) $0.3 million increase in management fees mainly due to the deliveries of the vessels discussed above; and (e) $0.2 million increase in time charter expenses; partially mitigated by a (i) $9.5 million gain from sale of vessels; (ii) $1.1 million decrease in general and administrative expenses; and (iii) $0.3 million increase in other income.

Net income for the three month period ended December 31, 2016, decreased by approximately $2.0 million to $18.1 million compared to $20.1 million, for the same period in 2015. The decrease was due to a: (i) $2.7 million decrease in EBITDA; (ii) $0.6 million increase in interest expense and finance cost; and (iii) $0.3 million increase in direct vessel expenses; partially mitigated by a $1.6 million increase in interest income.

Year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015

Revenue for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased by $23.2 million or 7.4% to $290.2 million, as compared to $313.4 million for 2015. The decrease was mainly attributable to: (i) the decrease in revenue by $18.6 million due to the sale of two VLCCs in June 2015, one MR2 product tanker in January 2016 and two chemical tankers in October and November 2016; and (ii) the decrease in profit sharing by $24.5 million. The decrease was partially mitigated by the increase in revenue following deliveries of four vessels during 2015. Available days of the fleet increased to 13,753 days for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to 13,743 days for the year ended December 31, 2015. The TCE Rate decreased to $20,742 for the year ended December 31, 2016, from $22,477 for the year ended December 31, 2015.

EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased by $26.2 million to $194.6 million from $220.8 million in the same period of 2015. The decrease in EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $23.2 million decrease in revenue; (b) $2.9 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; (c) $2.5 million increase in management fees mainly due to the deliveries of the vessels discussed above; (d) $1.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses; (e) $1.2 million increase in other expense; (f) $0.7 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding amortization of dry dock and special survey costs); and (g) $0.5 million increase in time charter expenses; partially mitigated by a: (i) $6.0 million increase in gain on sale of vessels; and (ii) $0.3 million increase in other income.

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2016 decreased by approximately $26.9 million to $62.9 million from $89.7 million for 2015. The decrease was due to: (i) a decrease of $26.2 million in EBITDA; (ii) an increase of $2.4 million in interest expense and finance cost; and (iii) an increase of $1.3 million in amortization of dry docking and special survey costs included in direct vessel expenses. The decrease was partially mitigated by an increase of $3.1 million in interest income.

FLEET DATA                
Available days(1)  3,343   3,386   13,753   13,743

AVERAGE DAILY RESULTS                
Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) Rate per day(4) $19,683  $22,291  $20,742  $22,477 

(1)  Available days: Available days for the fleet represent the total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition’s possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with scheduled repairs, dry dockings 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: 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: Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Acquisition’s 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 and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs, dry dockings or special surveys.

(4)  TCE Rate: Time Charter Equivalent Rate per day is 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 per day is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels of various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA

EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP financial measure and should not be used in isolation or as substitution for Navios Acquisition’s results calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance cost, before depreciation and amortization and before income taxes. We use EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA to net cash provided by/ (used in) operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by/(used in) 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) amortization and write-off of deferred finance fees and bond premium; (v) provision for losses on accounts receivable; (vi) equity in net earnings of affiliated companies, net of dividends received; (vii) payments for dry dock and special survey costs; (viii) gain/(loss) on sale of assets/subsidiaries; (ix) stock based compensation; (x) gain/ (loss) on debt repayments; and (xi) impairment charges. Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA is the basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and presents 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. Navios Acquisition also believes that EBITDA is used: (i) by 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.

EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Acquisition’s results as reported under U.S. 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. 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 Acquisition’s performance. Furthermore, our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
