–
Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. ("Navios Holdings") (NYSE: NM - News), a global, vertically integrated seaborne shipping and logistics company, today reported financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011.
Ms. Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and CEO of Navios, stated, "We are pleased to report an increase in EBITDA of 14%, to $104 million, and net income by more than 9%, to almost $51 million. Given our strong cash flow, we declared a $0.06 dividend for Q2 2011."
Ms. Frangou continued, "Our 43 vessel fleet has long-term charters which are insured through a AA+ European entity. Our business can prosper in a prolonged downturn given this significant cash flow, as well as ample liquidity, conservative leverage ratios and absence of material near-term capital requirements."

(i) a $17.7 million gain recognized as a result of the initial

million gain on the sale of the Navios Pollux to Navios Partners.
Navios Holdings' total consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $165.4 million.
Revenue from drybulk vessel operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $110.7 million as compared to $113.8 million for the same period during 2010. The decrease in drybulk revenue was mainly attributable to (i) a decrease in short-term charter-in and long-term charter-in fleet available days by 30 days and 296 days, respectively, and (ii) a decrease in Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") per day by 10.4% to $23,681 per day in the second quarter of 2011 from $26,431 per day in the same period of 2010. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in available days for owned vessels by 25.8% to 2,635 days in the first quarter of 2011 from 2,094 days in the same period of 2010.
Revenue from the logistics business was $54.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $51.6 million for the same period of 2010. This increase was mainly attributable to: (i) the delivery of the Jiujiang and the Stavroula in June and July 2010, respectively; and (ii) improved performance in iron ore transportation. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in revenues from operations of its dry and liquid ports.
EBITDA of Navios Holdings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 increased by $12.7 million to $103.7 million as compared to $91.0 million for the same period of 2010. EBITDA of Navios Holdings for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 was adjusted for a $38.8 million gain on the sale of the Navios Luz and the Navios Orbiter to Navios Partners, and for the same period of 2010 was adjusted to exclude (i) a $17.7 million gain recognized as a result of the initial consolidation of Navios Acquisition as of May 28, 2010; and (ii) a $1.8 million gain on sale of Navios Pollux to Navios Partners. As a result of these adjustments, the Adjusted EBITDA of Navios Holdings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 decreased by $6.6 million to $64.9 million as compared to $71.5 million for the same period of 2010. The $6.6 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to: (i) an increase in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs) of $10.0 million; (ii) an increase in general and administrative expenses of $2.2 million (excluding share-based compensation expenses); (iii) a $5.6 million decrease in gains from derivatives; (iv) a decrease in equity in earnings by $0.4 million. The overall variance of $18.2 was partially offset by: (i) a decrease in time charter, voyage and port terminal expenses of $9.6 million; (ii) a decrease of $1.7 million in loss attributable to the noncontrolling interest; and (iii) a decrease of $0.3 million in net other expense.
EBITDA of Navios Logistics was $10.5 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $10.3 million for the same period in 2010.
Navios Acquisition's effect to EBITDA was a loss of $0.8 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2011, and for the same period of 2010 was below $0.1 million.

Net income of Navios Holdings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $50.9 million as compared to $46.6 million for the same period of 2010. Net income of Navios Holdings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was adjusted to exclude a $38.8 million gain on the sale of the Navios Luz and the Navios Orbiter to Navios Partners, and for the same period of 2010, was adjusted for (i) a $17.7 million gain recognized as a result of the initial consolidation of Navios Acquisition as of May 28, 2010; and (ii) a $1.8 million gain on sale of Navios Pollux to Navios Partners. As a result of these adjustments, the Adjusted Net Income of Navios Holdings for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $12.1 million as compared to $27.1 million for the same period of 2010. The decrease of Adjusted Net Income by $15.0 million was mainly due to (i) a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA of $6.6 million as discussed above; (ii) an increase in interest income/expense and finance cost, net of $4.2 million; (iii) an increase in depreciation and amortization of $2.0 million; (iv) an increase of $0.5 million in amortization for drydock and special survey costs; (v) an increase of $0.5 million in share-based compensation expense; and (vi) an increase in income taxes of $1.2 million.

Revenue from drybulk vessel operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $222.9 million as compared to $232.0 million for the same period during 2010. The decrease in drybulk revenue was mainly attributable to (i) a decrease in short-term charter-in and long-term charter-in fleet available days by 205 days and 740 days, respectively and (ii) a decrease in TCE per day by 5.0% to $24,143 per day in the first half of 2011 from $25,424 per day in the same period of 2010. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in available days for owned vessels by 22.5% to 5,159 days in the first half of 2011 from 4,212 days in the same period of 2010.
Revenue from the logistics business was $99.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 as compared to $87.8 million for the same period of 2010.

(1) Available days for the 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, drydocking or
special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure

capable of generating revenues.

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 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.
(4) Equivalent Vessels, is defined as the total available days during a
relevant period divided by the number of days of this period.
(5) TCE 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.
