I am proud of the members of the Navios family as they have shown admirable resilience during this unprecedented time of uncertainty, and we have taken the necessary measures to ensure safety of our people while keeping our fleet functioning.”Angeliki Frangou continued, “For the first quarter of 2020, Navios Holdings reported revenue of $91.1 million, Adjusted EBITDA of $28.7 million and a TCE equivalent of $7,082. We experienced weak charter rates in the drybulk market in the first quarter and so far in the second quarter. Year to date 2020, the capesize 5TC rate averaged around $5,000 per day versus the 2019 average of $18,000 per day. We anticipate growth in the second half of the year as global economic activity returns.”HIGHLIGHTS – RECENT DEVELOPMENTSFleet updateIn May 2020, the Company sold to an unrelated third party the Navios Star, a 2002-built Panamax vessel of 76,662 dwt, for a sale price of $6.7 million.In May 2020, the Company took delivery of the Navios Magellan II, a newbuilt Panamax vessel of 82,037 dwt under bareboat charter.In March 2020, the Company took delivery of the Navios Galaxy II, a newbuilt Panamax vessel of 81,789 dwt under bareboat charter.In March 2020, the Company acquired from an unrelated third party, a previously chartered-in vessel, the Navios Corali, a 2015-built Capesize vessel of 181,249 dwt, for an acquisition price of $36.6 million, which was paid in cash. The acquisition was financed through a sale and leaseback transaction with an unrelated third party.Liquidation of Navios Europe (II) Inc. (“Navios Europe II”)Navios Europe II, an entity in which Navios Holdings holds a 47.5% economic interest, is the owner of seven container vessels and seven dry bulk vessels. As of March 31, 2020, Navios Holdings had a receivable of approximately $31.5 million from Navios Europe II. Following the decision of the shareholders of Navios Europe II in May 2020 to liquidate the structure, a Special Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors, approved the allocation of assets. As part of the transaction, it is anticipated that Navios Holdings will receive cash subject to working capital adjustments at closing and will acquire two unencumbered Panamax dry bulk vessels. Closing is expected to occur during the second quarter of 2020. No assurances can be provided that definitive agreements will be executed or that the transaction will be completed in whole or in part.Debt updateIn June 2020, the Company entered into a secured loan agreement with Navios Shipmanagement Holdings Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of N Shipmanagement Acquisition Corp.

The terms and conditions of the secured loan agreement were approved by a Special Committee of the Board of Directors comprised of independent directors. The loan agreement will be repayable in 18 equal consecutive quarterly installments from the initial drawdown. Principal payments that fall due during the first year following the initial drawdown may be deferred, at the Company’s election, in whole or in part.

(“Navios Containers”) and consequently consolidated Navios Containers from that date onwards. Following the sale of Navios Containers general partnership interest on August 30, 2019, Navios Holdings deconsolidated Navios Containers from that date onwards. The results of operations of Navios Containers for the period from January 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019 consolidated under Navios Holdings have been reported as discontinued operations.Earnings HighlightsFirst Quarter 2020 and 2019 Results (in thousands of U.S. dollars, except per share data and unless otherwise stated):The first quarter 2020 and 2019 information presented below was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the respective periods.
Revenue from dry bulk vessel operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $18.4 million, or 34.9%, to $34.3 million, as compared to $52.7 million for the same period during 2019. The decrease in dry bulk revenue was mainly attributable to a decrease in available days by 13.1%, due to the vessels sold and certain charter-in vessels that were redelivered, and the decline in freight and time charter market during the periods compared. The TCE per day decreased by 26.4% to $7,082 per day in the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $9,622 per day in the same period in 2019.Revenue from the logistics business was $56.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $55.8 million for the same period in 2019. The increase was mainly attributable to (i) a $1.7 million increase in sales of products mainly due to an increase in the Paraguayan liquid port’s volume of products sold; and (ii) a $0.2 million increase in revenue from the barge business mainly due to the increased time charter rates. The overall increase was partially mitigated by (i) a $0.8 million decrease in revenue from the port terminal business, mainly due to lower volumes transhipped in the grain port terminal; and (ii) a $0.1 million decrease in revenue from cabotage business mainly due to fewer spot voyages performed.Net Loss attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders was $53.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2019. Net Loss attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders was affected by items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Loss attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was $23.8 million, as compared to $0.5 million Adjusted Net Income attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders for the same period in 2019. This decrease in Adjusted Net Income was mainly due to (i) a $27.8 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA as discussed in the paragraph below and (ii) a $0.8 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net. This overall decrease of $28.6 million was partially mitigated by (i) a $3.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization; (ii) a $0.5 million decrease in share-based compensation expense; (iii) a $0.4 million decrease in income tax expense; and (iv) a $0.3 million decrease in amortization for deferred drydock and special survey costs.Net Income of Navios Logistics, on a standalone basis, was $7.0 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $5.3 million for the same period in 2019.Net Loss of Navios Containers, on a standalone basis, was $0.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019.Adjusted EBITDA of Navios Holdings for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 decreased by $27.8 million to $28.7 million, as compared to $56.5 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to (i) a $17.4 million decrease in revenue; (ii) a $6.9 million decrease in other income; (iii) a $4.5 million decrease in gain on bond extinguishment; (iv) a $1.5 million increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs); and (v) a $0.8 million increase in net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. This overall decrease of $31.1 million was partially mitigated by (i) a $1.9 million increase in equity in net earnings from affiliated companies; and (ii) a $1.4 million decrease in time charter, voyage and logistics business expenses.EBITDA of Navios Logistics, on a standalone basis, was $22.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as compared to $24.2 million for the same period in 2019.Fleet Summary Data:The following table reflects certain key indicators indicative of the performance of Navios Holdings’ dry bulk operations (excluding the Navios Logistics’ and Navios Containers’ fleets) and its fleet performance for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Other Financial DataDisclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders and Adjusted Basic Earnings/(Loss) per share are “non-U.S. GAAP financial measures” and should not be used in isolation or considered substitutes for net income/(loss), cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.EBITDA represents net income/(loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization, before income taxes and before stock-based compensation. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA, excluding certain items as described under “Earnings Highlights”. We use EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as liquidity measures and reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA is calculated as follows: net cash provided by 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) deferred finance charges and gains/(losses) on bond and debt extinguishment, (v) (provision)/recovery for losses on accounts receivable, (vi) equity in affiliates, net of dividends received, (vii) payments for drydock and special survey costs, (viii) noncontrolling interest, (ix) gain/ (loss) on sale of assets/ subsidiaries/businesses, on loss of control and bargain gain, (x) unrealized (loss)/gain on derivatives, (xi) loss on sale and reclassification to earnings of available-for-sale securities and (xii) impairment charges. Navios Holdings believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and represents useful information to investors regarding Navios Holdings’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures and meet working capital requirements. Navios Holdings also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used (i) by prospective and current lessors as well as 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.While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as measures of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA used here may not be comparable to those used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and therefore, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Holdings’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the amounts necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt and other financing arrangements; and (iii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, among others, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Holdings’ performance.Navios Logistics EBITDA is used to measure its operating performance.We present Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing our operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders adjusts net income/(loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders for the items described above under “Earnings Highlights”. The definition of Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.Adjusted Basic Earnings/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders per share is defined as Adjusted Net Income/(Loss) attributable to Navios Holdings’ common stockholders divided by the weighted average number of shares for each of the periods presented.The following tables provide a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA of Navios Holdings (including Navios Logistics and Navios Containers through deconsolidation) and EBITDA of Navios Logistics and Navios Containers on a stand-alone basis:Navios Holdings Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Cash from Operations
