This week on Monday (November 23) Navios Maritime Holdings Inc., the global seaborne shipping and logistics company, reported financial results for the third quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2020.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, “I am pleased with our results for the third quarter of 2020. During the third quarter, Navios Holdings reported revenue of $126.2 million, adjusted EBITDA of $60.2 million and adjusted Net Income of $2.1 million.”
Frangou continued, “Drybulk demand in the first half of 2020 was adversely effected by global quarantines. However, monetary stimulus and other policy measures eased the disruption and helped restart global economies in the third quarter. We believe that continued improvement is also attributable to food security considerations and new purchasing patterns emerging in the pandemic economy. Consequently, we are optimistic about growth in 2021.”
HIGHLIGHTS – RECENT DEVELOPMENTS
Fleet Update
Vessel Sales
In September 2020, the Company sold the Navios Gem, a 2014-built Capesize vessel of 181,336 dwt, and the Navios Victory, a 2014-built Panamax vessel of 77,095 dwt, for a sale price of $51.0 million. Part of the sale proceeds were used for the repayment in full of the $33.0 million of outstanding secured bank debt in respect of the two vessels.
In August and September 2020, the Company sold to unrelated third parties, two 2005-built Panamax vessels, the Navios Northern Star and the Navios Amitie, for sale prices of $7.0 million and $7.1 million, respectively.
Owned fleet renewal and expansion
Over the last twelve months ended Q3 2020 Navios Holdings has added eight vessels to its owned fleet (including vessels under bareboat in agreements) with an average age of 4.1 years. At the same period a total of seven vessels have been sold with an average age of 13.4 years. The above had a result of increasing the dwt capacity of the owned vessels by 8% and decrease its average age by 13%.
Fleet statistics
Navios Holdings controls a fleet of 49 vessels totaling 5.3 million dwt, of which 32 are owned (including five bareboat-in vessels) and 17 are chartered-in under long-term charters (collectively, the “Core Fleet”). The fleet consists of 16 Capesize, 26 Panamax, five Ultra-Handymax and two Handysize vessels, with an average age of 8.0 years.
Navios Holdings has currently chartered-out 94.4% of available days for the remaining three months of 2020. Of these available days, 71.1% are chartered-out on fixed rate and 23.3% are chartered-out on index.
The average contracted daily charter-in rate for the long-term charter-in vessels (excluding Kliemar controlled fleet mainly used for servicing contracts of affreightment) for the remaining three months of 2020 is $13,011 per day. The above figures do not include the fleet of Navios South American Logistics Inc. (“Navios Logistics”).
Revenue from dry bulk vessel operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2020 decreased by $10.1 million, or 13.0%, to $67.4 million, as compared to $77.5 million for the same period during 2019. The decrease in dry bulk revenue was mainly attributable to the decline in the time charter and freight market during the periods compared and a decrease in available days by 2.9%, due to the vessels sold and certain charter-in vessels that were redelivered, partially mitigated by the delivery of the five bareboat-in vessels. The TCE per day decreased by 9.5% to $14,056 per day in the third quarter of 2020, as compared to $15,534 per day in the same period of 2019.
Revenue from the Logistics Business was $58.8 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2020, as compared to $64.1 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease was mainly attributable to (i) a $4.4 million decrease in revenue from the port terminal business, mainly attributable to lower volumes transshipped from the grain port terminal, (ii) a $2.9 million decrease in revenue from the barge business, mainly due to less revenue from time charter contracts and (iii) a $1.0 million decrease in revenue from the cabotage business mainly, due to lower time charter rates. The overall decrease was partially mitigated by a $3.0 million increase in sales of products due to the increase in the Paraguayan liquid port’s volume of products sold.
