For the three month period ended March 31, 2021, Hyundai Merchant Marine Co., Ltd. (“HMM”) Singapore Marine Pte Ltd. (“Singapore Marine”), and Cargill International S.A. (“Cargill”), represented approximately 21.5%, 19.4% and 12.2%, respectively,of total revenues. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, HMM represented approximately 29.2% of total revenues. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for any of the periods presented.

Our revenues are driven by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which vessels operate and our charter hire rates, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

•

the duration of the charters;

•

the level of spot and long-term market rates at the time of charters;

•

decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

•

the amount of time spent positioning vessels;

•

the amount of time that vessels spend in dry dock undergoing repairs and upgrades;

•

the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and

•

the aggregate level of supply and demand in the dry cargo shipping industry.

Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to long-term which may be many years. In general, a long-term time charter assures the vessel owner of a consistent stream of revenue. Operating the vessel in the spot market affords the owner greater spot market opportunity, which may result in high rates when vessels are in high demand or low rates when vessel availability exceeds demand. We intend to operate our vessels in the long-term charter market. Vessel charter rates are affected by world economics, international events, weather conditions, strikes, governmental policies, supply and demand and many other factors that might be beyond our control. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

We could lose a customer or the benefits of a charter if:

•

the customer fails to make charter payments because of its financial inability, disagreements with us or otherwise;

•

the customer exercises certain rights to terminate the charter of the vessel;

•

the customer terminates the charter because we fail to deliver the vessel within a fixed period of time, the vessel is lost or damaged beyond repair, there are serious deficiencies in the vessel or prolonged periods of off-hire, or we default under the charter; or

•

a prolonged force majeure event affecting the customer, including damage to or destruction of relevant production facilities, war or political unrest prevents us from performing services for that customer.

Under some of our time charters, either party may terminate the charter contract in the event of war in specified countries or in locations that would significantly disrupt the free trade of the vessel. Some of the time charters covering our vessels require us to return to the charterer, upon the loss of the vessel, all advances paid by the charterer but not earned by us.

Trends and Factors Affecting Our Future Results of Operations

We believe the principal factors that will affect our future results of operations are the economic, regulatory, political and governmental conditions that affect the shipping industry generally and that affect conditions in countries and markets in which our vessels engage in business. Please read “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 20-F for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

Fleet Employment Profile

The following table reflects certain key indicators of Navios Partners’ and Navios Containers’ core fleet performance for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.


	Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2021 (unaudited)			Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2020 (unaudited)
Available Days⁽¹⁾		4,252			4,097
Operating Days⁽²⁾		4,201			3,995
Fleet Utilization⁽³⁾		98.8	%		97.5	%
Time Charter Equivalent Combined (per day) ⁽⁴⁾	$	14,836		$	10,717
Time Charter Equivalent Drybulk (per day) ⁽⁴⁾	$	13,050		$	8,244
Time Charter Equivalent Containers (per day) ⁽⁴⁾	$	23,794		$	19,377
Vessels operating at period end		79			46

(1)

Available days for the fleet represent total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Partners’ possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with scheduled repairs, dry dockings or special surveys and ballast days relating to voyages. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which a vessel is 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 Partners’ 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 efficiency in finding employment for 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)

Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate per day : TCE 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 on various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

Period over Period Comparisons

For the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2021 compared to the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2020

Time charter and voyage revenues: Time charter and voyage revenues of Navios Partners for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 increased by approximately $18.6 million, or 40.0%, to $65.1 million, as compared to $46.5 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in TCE rate per day by 38.4% to $14,836 per day for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $10,717 per day in the same period in 2020.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 decreased by approximately $0.6 million, or 19.5%, to $2.5 million, as compared to $3.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was mainly attributable to a decrease in other voyage expenses.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprised of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs of certain vessels in our fleet, for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 increased by $0.6 million, to $3.1 million, as compared to $2.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020.

Vessel operating expenses (management fees): Vessel operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, increased by $0.8 million, or 3.4%, to $23.0 million, as compared to $22.2 million for the same period in 2020. The increase was due to the increase in the size of our fleet.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million to $4.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $4.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The increase was mainly due to a (i) $0.5 million increase in administrative fees paid to the Navios Shipmanagement Inc., (the “Manager”) due to the increased number of owned and chartered-in vessels in Navios Partners’ fleet; and (ii) $0.4 million increase in legal and professional fees, as well as audit fees and other administrative expenses. The above increase was mitigated by a $0.1 million decrease in stock plan expenses.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $13.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $13.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The decrease of $0.5 million was mainly attributable to a: (i) $1.2 million decrease in depreciation expenses of vessels as a result of the impairment recorded in December, 2020; and (ii) $0.4 million decrease due to the sale of one vessel as of December 31, 2020 and three vessels during the three month period ended March 31, 2021. The total decrease was partially mitigated by a (i) $1.0 million increase in depreciation expense due to the addition of seven vessels to our fleet during the year ended December 31, 2020; and (ii) $0.1 million increase due to ballast water and scrubber additions.

Impairment of receivable in affiliated company: Impairment of receivable in affiliated company for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 amounted to $6.9 million, related to the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the Navios Partners’ receivable from Navios Europe II. There was no impairment for the corresponding interim period of March 31, 2021.

Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 decreased by $1.1 million or 15.8% to $5.8 million, as compared to $6.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020. The decrease was mainly due to a decrease of the weighted average interest rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 to 3.95% from 5.26% for the same period in 2020..

Interest income: Interest income decreased by $0.1 million to $0.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $0.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020.

Other income: Other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $0.1 million, as compared to $0.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020.

Other expense: Other expense remained approximately the same for both three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies: Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $80.8 million as compared to $1.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020.

Bargain purchase gain: Bargain purchase gain amounted to $44.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, resulting from the excess Navios Containers’ fair value of the identifiable assets acquired of $342.7 million over the total purchase price consideration of $298.6 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

In addition to distributions on our units, our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements, cash reserve requirements including those under our credit facilities and debt service, while our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and investment capital expenditures and other maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment. Expansion capital expenditures are primarily for the purchase or construction of vessels to the extent the expenditures increase the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet, while maintenance capital expenditures primarily consist of drydocking expenditures and expenditures to replace vessels in order to maintain the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet. Investment capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that are neither maintenance capital expenditures nor expansion capital expenditures. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from our equity offerings, operations, proceeds from asset sales, long-term bank borrowings and other debt raisings. Based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in our trading performance, we believe that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operation and meet its financial commitments, including but not limited to capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Generally, our long-term sources of funds derive from cash from operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings to fund acquisitions and expansion and investment capital expenditures, including opportunities we may pursue under the Omnibus Agreement, as defined herein. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure adequate financing or to obtain additional funds on favorable terms, to meet our liquidity needs.

Cash deposits and cash equivalents in excess of amounts covered by government provided insurance are exposed to loss in the event of non-performance by financial institutions. Navios Partners does maintain cash deposits and equivalents in excess of government provided insurance limits. Navios Partners also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Navios Partners may use funds to repurchase its outstanding common units and/or indebtedness from time to time. Repurchases may be made in the open market, or through privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, at prices and on terms Navios Partners deems appropriate and subject to its cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under Navios Partners’ credit facilities, and other factors management deems relevant.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4.7 million to $16.2 million of cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $20.9 million of cash provided by operating activities for the same period in 2020. In determining net cash provided by operating activities, net income is adjusted for the effects of certain non-cash items as discussed below.

The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $106.9 million non-cash negative adjustments for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, which consisted mainly of the following adjustments: $13.1 million depreciation and amortization, $0.3 million amortization of operating lease right-of-use asset, $0.1 million equity compensation expense, $0.5 million loss on sale of vessels, $1.3 million amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs and discount, $3.1 million amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs, $80.8 million equity in net earnings of affiliates, $44.1 million bargain purchase gain from merger with Navios Containers and $0.4 million non-cash accrued interest income and amortization of deferred revenue.

The net cash outflow resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $13.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 resulted from a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable, a $4.7 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.4 million decrease in accrued expenses, a $11.8 million in payments for dry dock and special survey costs and a $0.3 million decrease in operating lease liabilities short and long term. This was partially mitigated by a $1.4 million increase in accounts payable and a $2.7 million increase in deferred revenue.

The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net loss to net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $22.0 million non-cash positive adjustments for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, which consisted mainly of the following adjustments: $13.6 million depreciation and amortization, $6.9 million loss related to the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the Navios Partners’ receivable from Navios Europe II, $0.4 million non-cash accrued interest income and amortization of deferred revenue, $0.2 million amortization of operating lease right-of-use asset, $0.5 million amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs and discount, $2.5 million amortization of deferred dry dock and special survey costs, $1.7 million equity in net earnings of affiliated companies and $0.2 million equity compensation expense.

The net cash inflow resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $9.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 resulted from a $15.4 million decrease in amounts due from related parties and a $3.5 million increase in amounts due to related parties. These were partially mitigated by a $0.5 million increase in accounts receivable, a $1.5 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets, a $0.7 million decrease in accounts payable, a $0.1 million decrease in accrued expenses, a $1.2 million decrease in deferred revenue, a $4.9 million in payments for dry dock and special survey costs and a $0.2 million decrease in operating lease liabilities short and long term.

Cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 amounted to $5.6 million as compared to $3.3 million cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020.

Cash provided by investing activities of approximately $5.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 was mainly due to a: (i) $32.7 million of proceeds related to the sale of four vessels; and (ii) $10.3 million cash acquired from Navios Containers following the merger. This was partially mitigated by a $37.3 million related to vessel acquisitions, additions and capitalized expenses for two bareboat charter-in vessels.

Cash used in investing activities of $3.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was mainly due to $4.5 million relating to vessels additions, deposits for the option to acquire the two charter-in vessels and capitalized expenses. This was partially mitigated by $1.2 million of proceeds from the note receivable related to the sale of the MSC Cristina.

Cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 as compared to cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2020

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $15.7 million to $1.2 million outflow for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $16.9 million outflow for the same period in 2020.

Cash used in financing activities of $1.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 was mainly due to: (i) a payment of a total cash distribution of $0.6 million; (ii) a payment of $0.4 million of deferred finance costs related to the new credit facility; and (iii) loans and financial liabilities repayments of $72.0 million. This total increase was partially mitigated by: (i) $58.0 million of proceeds from the loan drawdown of the CACIB $58m Credit Facility; (ii) $9.7 million proceeds from the issuance of common units and; (iii) $4.1 million proceeds from issuance of general partner units.

Cash used in financing activities of $16.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was mainly due to: (i) a payment of a total cash distribution of $3.4 million; and (ii) loans and financial liabilities repayments of $13.5 million.

(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income/ (loss) attributable to Navios Partners’ unitholders before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization (including intangible accelerated amortization) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before impairment losses, equity in net earnings of affiliated companies and bargain purchase gain . Navios Partners uses Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA in this document 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 decrease/ (increase) in operating assets; (ii) net (decrease)/ increase in operating liabilities; (iii) net interest cost; (iv) amortization and write-off of deferred financing cost; (v) equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; (vi) impairment charges; (vii) non-cash accrued interest income and amortization of deferred revenue; (viii) equity compensation expense; (ix) non-cash accrued interest income from receivable from affiliates; and (x) amortization of operating lease right-of-use asset. Navios Partners believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are each the basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and presents useful information to investors regarding Navios Partners’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and make cash distributions. Navios Partners also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are 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 and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Partners’ 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; 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 and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Partners’ performance. Furthermore, our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 was affected by the accounting effect of: (i) a $44.1 million bargain purchase gain; and (ii) an $80.8 million gain from equity in net earnings of affiliated companies resulting from remeasurment of existing interest held in Navios Container. EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 was negatively affected by the accounting effect of a $6.9 million loss related to the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the Navios Partners’ receivable from Navios Europe II. Excluding these items, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $14.6 million to $33.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, as compared to $19.1 million for the same period in 2020. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to: (i) an approximate $18.6 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; and (ii) a $0.6 million decrease in time charter voyage expenses. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $0.8 million increase in vessel operating expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet; (ii) $0.8 million increase in general and administrative expenses, mainly due to the increased fleet and an increase in other professional fees; (iii) $0.5 million loss on sale of vessels; (iv) $0.8 million decrease in other income; and (v) $1.7 million decrease in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies.

(2) Operating Surplus

Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense, non-cash interest income, equity compensation expense, estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures and one-off items. Maintenance and replacement capital expenditures are those capital expenditures required to maintain over the long term the operating capacity of, or the revenue generated by, Navios Partners’ capital assets.

Operating Surplus is a quantitative measure used in the publicly-traded partnership investment community to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions and is a non-GAAP measure. Operating Surplus is not required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should not be considered a substitute for net income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.

Borrowings

Navios Partners’ long-term borrowings are presented under the captions “Long-term financial liabilities, net”, “Long-term debt, net”, “Current portion of financial liabilities, net” and “Current portion of long-term debt, net”. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, total borrowings, net of deferred finance fees and discount amounted to $701.2 million and $486.9 million, respectively. The current portion of long-term borrowings, net amounted to $92.3 million at March 31, 2021 and $201.8 million at December 31, 2020.

Capital Expenditures

Navios Partners finances its capital expenditures with cash flow from operations, equity raisings, long-term bank borrowings and other debt raisings. Capital expenditures for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $37.3 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The reserves for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were $17.0 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

Maintenance for our vessels and expenses related to drydocking expenses are reimbursed at cost by Navios Partners to our Manager under the Management Agreement. In each of October 2013, August 2014, February 2015, February 2016 and November 2017, Navios Partners amended its existing Management Agreement with the Manager to fix the fees for ship management services of its owned fleet, excluding drydocking expenses, which are reimbursed at cost by Navios Partners at: (a) $4,225 daily rate per Ultra-Handymax vessel; (b) $4,325 daily rate per Panamax vessel; (c) $5,250 daily rate per Capesize vessel; (d) $6,700 daily rate per Container vessel of TEU 6,800; (e) $7,400 daily rate per Container vessel of more than TEU 8,000; and (f) $8,750 daily rate per very large Containers vessel of more than TEU 13,000 through December 31, 2019.

In August 2019, Navios Partners extended the duration of its existing Management Agreement with the Manager until January 1, 2025. Management fees are fixed for two years commencing from January 1, 2020 at: (a) $4,350 daily per Ultra-Handymax Vessel; (b) $4,450 daily per Panamax Vessel; (c) $5,410 daily per Capesize Vessel; and (d) $6,900 daily per 6,800 TEU Containership. The agreement also provides for a technical and commercial management fee of $50 per day per vessel and an annual increase of 3% commencing January 1, 2022 unless agreed otherwise.

Following the liquidation of Navios Europe I, Navios Partners acquired three Sub-Panamax and two Panamax containerships and following the liquidation of Navios Europe II, Navios Partners acquired five drybulk vessels, three Panamax and two Ultra-Handymax vessels, As per the Management Agreement, as amended in December 2019, management fees are fixed for two years commencing from January 1, 2020 at $6,100 daily per Sub-Panamax/Panamax Containership. The agreement also provides for a technical and commercial management fee of $50 per day per vessel and an annual increase of 3% commencing January 1, 2022 for the remaining period unless agreed otherwise. Drydocking expenses are reimbursed at cost for all vessels.

Maintenance and Replacement Capital Expenditures Reserve

We estimate that our annual replacement reserve for the year ending December 31, 2021 will be approximately $68.0 million, for replacing our vessels at the end of their useful lives.

The amount for estimated replacement capital expenditures attributable to future vessel replacement was based on the following assumptions: (i) current market price to purchase a five year old vessel of similar size and specifications; (ii) a 25-year useful life for drybulk vessels and a 30-year useful life for containerships; and (iii) a relative net investment rate.

The amount for estimated maintenance capital expenditures attributable to future vessel drydocking and special survey was based on certain assumptions including the remaining useful life of the owned vessels of our fleet, market costs of drydocking and special survey and a relative net investment rate.

Our Board of Directors, with the approval of the Conflicts Committee, may determine that one or more of our assumptions should be revised, which could cause our Board of Directors to increase or decrease the amount of estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. The actual cost of replacing the vessels in our fleet will depend on a number of factors, including prevailing market conditions, charter hire rates and the availability and cost of financing at the time of replacement. We may elect to finance some or all of our maintenance and replacement capital expenditures through the issuance of additional common units, which could be dilutive to existing unitholders.

Acquisitions of Vessels

In April, 2021, Navios Partners agreed to acquire from Navios Acquisition the Ete N, a 2012 built Containership of 2,782 TEU, the Fleur N, a 2012 built Containership of 2,782 TEU and the Spectrum N, a 2009 built Containership of 2,546 TEU. On May 10, 2021, Navios Partners completed the acquisition of these three vessels from Navios Acquistion for an aggregate purchase price of $55.5 million.

In April 2021, Navios Partners agreed to acquire from Navios Holdings a 2011 built Capesize vessel for a purchase price of $28.5 million. The vessel is expected to be delivered into Navios Partners’ fleet during the second quarter of 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

On March 13, 2020, two purported holders of the Navios Containers’ common units commenced a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York captioned The Mangrove Partners Master Fund, Ltd. et al v. Navios Containers, Case No. 1:20-cv-02290-LJL. In the suit, the plaintiffs allege that Navios Containers breached its limited partnership agreement and the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act, in each case based on an alleged refusal by Navios Containers to provide to the plaintiffs certain non-public books and records of Navios Containers. On July 20, 2020, the plaintiffs amended their complaint to add Navios Containers’ CEO as a named defendant, and added two additional causes of actions; one for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 thereunder, and one for common law fraud, and the plaintiffs sought, among other things, damages, fees, expenses, rescission, and an order requiring Navios Containers to furnish the requested records to the plaintiffs. On September 25, 2020, the named defendants moved to dismiss the amended complaint, which resulted in plaintiffs filing a second amended complaint that further added two additional causes of actions (one for fraudulent inducement and one for negligent misrepresentation) and sought the same relief as requested in the first amended complaint. The named defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on January 15, 2021, and briefing was completed on March 2, 2021. Navios Containers believes the plaintiffs’ claims to be entirely without merit and will vigorously defend against these claims.

Navios Partners leases office space in Monaco pursuant to a five year lease agreement dated July 1, 2018 that expires in June 2023, for a monthly rent of approximately $0.01 million.

Limitations on Cash Distributions and Our Ability to Change Our Cash Distribution Policy

There is no guarantee that unitholders will receive quarterly distributions from us and beginning with the quarter ending December 31, 2015, our Board of Directors elected to suspend distributions on our common units in order to preserve cash and improve our liquidity. In March 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors announced a new distribution policy under which it paid quarterly cash distributions in the amount of $0.30 per unit, or $1.20 annually. In July 2020, the Company amended its distribution policy under which it intends to pay quarterly cash distributions in the amount of $0.05 per unit, or $0.20 per unit annually.

Our distribution policy is subject to certain restrictions and may be changed at any time, including:

•

Our unitholders have no contractual or other legal right to receive distributions other than the obligation under our partnership agreement to distribute available cash on a quarterly basis, which is subject to the broad discretion of our board of directors to establish reserves and other limitations.

•

While our partnership agreement requires us to distribute all of our available cash, our partnership agreement, including provisions requiring us to make cash distributions contained therein, may be amended. Although during the subordination period, with certain exceptions, our partnership agreement could not be amended without the approval of non-affiliated common unitholders, our partnership agreement can be amended with the approval of a majority of the outstanding common units after the subordination period has ended. Upon the closing of the IPO, Navios Holdings did not own any of our outstanding common units and owned 100.0% of our outstanding subordinated units.

•

Even if our cash distribution policy is not modified or revoked, the amount of distributions we pay under our cash distribution policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by our board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement.

•

Under Section 51 of the Marshall Islands Limited Partnership Act, we may not make a distribution to our unitholders if the distribution would cause our liabilities to exceed the fair value of our assets.

•

We may lack sufficient cash to pay distributions to our unitholders due to decreases in net revenues or increases in operating expenses, principal and interest payments on outstanding debt, tax expenses, working capital requirements, maintenance and replacement capital expenditures or anticipated cash needs.

•

Our distribution policy is affected by restrictions on distributions under our credit facilities or other debt instruments. Specifically, our credit facilities contain material financial tests that must be satisfied and we will not pay any distributions that will cause us to violate our credit facilities or other debt instruments. Should we be unable to satisfy these restrictions included in our credit facilities or if we are otherwise in default under our credit facilities, our ability to make cash distributions to unitholders, notwithstanding our cash distribution policy, would be materially adversely affected.

•

If we make distributions out of capital surplus, as opposed to operating surplus, such distributions will constitute a return of capital and will result in a reduction in the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels. We do not anticipate that we will make any distributions from capital surplus.

Our ability to make distributions to our unitholders depends on the performance of our subsidiaries and their ability to distribute funds to us. The ability of our subsidiaries to make distributions to us may be restricted by, among other things, the provisions of existing and future indebtedness, applicable partnership and limited liability company laws and other laws and regulations.

Quarterly Distribution

There is no guarantee that we will pay the quarterly distribution on the common units in any quarter. The amount of distributions paid under our policy and the decision to make any distribution is determined by our board of directors, taking into consideration the terms of our partnership agreement. We are prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would cause an event of default, or an event of default exists, under our existing credit facilities.

Quarterly distributions were paid by the Company through September 2015. For the quarter ended December 31, 2015, the Company’s board of directors determined to suspend payment of the Company’s quarterly distributions in order to preserve cash and improve our liquidity. In March 2018, the Company’s board of directors announced a new distribution policy under which it paid quarterly cash distributions in the amount of $0.30 per unit, or $1.20 per unit annually. In July 2020, the Company amended its distribution policy under which it intends to pay quarterly cash distributions in the amount of $0.05 per unit, or $0.20 per unit annually.

Incentive Distribution Rights

The following description of our incentive distribution rights reflects such rights and the indicated levels are achieved, of which there can be no assurance. Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of quarterly distributions of available cash from Operating Surplus after the minimum quarterly distribution and the target distribution levels have been achieved. Navios GP L.L.C. currently holds the incentive distribution rights, but may transfer these rights, provided the transferee agrees to be bound by the terms of the partnership agreement. As of December 31, 2017, the holder of incentive distribution rights may transfer any or all of its Incentive Distribution Rights without unitholder approval.

The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of the additional available cash from Operating Surplus among the unitholders, our general partner and the holder of our incentive distribution rights up to the various target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions” are the percentage interests of the unitholders in any available cash from Operating Surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount”, until available cash from Operating Surplus we distribute reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The percentage interests shown for the unitholders for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests shown for our general partner assume that our general partner maintains its 2.0% general partner interest.


		Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
	Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount	Common Unitholders			Incentive Distribution Right Holder			General Partner
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	up to $5.25		98	%		—			2	%
First Target Distribution	up to $6.0375		98	%		—			2	%
Second Target Distribution	above $ 6.0375 up to $6.5625		85	%		13	%		2	%

The agreement also provides for a technical and commercial management fee of $50 per day per vessel and an annual increase of 3% after January 1, 2022 unless agreed otherwise.

Following the liquidation of Navios Europe I, Navios Partners acquired three Sub-Panamax and two Panamax containerships and following the liquidation of Navios Europe II, Navios Partners acquired five drybulk vessels, three Panamax and two Ultra-Handymax vessels. As per the Management Agreement, as amended in December 2019, management fees are fixed for two years commencing from January 1, 2020 at $6,100 daily per Sub-Panamax/Panamax Containership. The agreement also provides for a technical and commercial management fee of $50 per day per vessel and an annual increase of 3% after January 1, 2022 for the remaining period unless agreed otherwise.

Drydocking expenses are reimbursed at cost for all vessels.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, certain extraordinary fees and costs related to vessels’ regulatory requirements including ballast water treatment system installation and exhaust gas cleaning system installation, under the Company’s management agreement amounted to $3.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively, and are presented under “Acquisition of/ additions to vessels and favorable lease terms, net of cash acquired” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow.

Total vessel operating expenses for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, amounted to $23.0 million and $22.2 million, respectively.

General and administrative expenses: Pursuant to the Administrative Services Agreement, the Manager also provides administrative services to Navios Partners, which include bookkeeping, audit and accounting services, legal and insurance services, administrative and clerical services, banking and financial services, advisory services, client and investor relations and other. The Manager is reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services. Navios Partners extended the duration of its existing Administrative Services Agreement with the Manager, until December 31, 2022. In August 2019, Navios Partners extended the duration of its existing administrative services agreement with the Manager until January 1, 2025, which provide for allocable general and administrative costs.

Total general and administrative expenses charged by the Manager for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, amounted to $3.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively.

Balance due from related parties: Balance due from related parties as of each of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 amounted to $5.0 million that consisted of the receivable from the Navios Holdings Guarantee. The outstanding amount was fully repaid in April 2021.

Balance due to related parties: Amounts due to related parties, short-term as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were $34.5 million and $36.0 million, respectively, and mainly consisted of payables to the Manager.

Balance due from Navios Europe II: Navios Holdings, Navios Acquisition and Navios Partners have made available to Navios Europe II revolving loans of up to $43.5 million to fund working capital requirements (collectively, the “Navios Revolving Loans II”). In March 2017, the availability under the Navios Revolving Loans II was increased by $14.0 million.

On April 21, 2020, Navios Europe II agreed with the lender to fully release the liabilities under the junior participating loan facility for $5.0 million. Navios Europe II owned seven container vessels and seven dry bulk vessels. Navios Partners had a net receivable of approximately $17.3 million from Navios Europe II.

As of March 31, 2020, the decline in the fair value of the investment was considered as other-than-temporary and, therefore, an aggregate loss of $6.9 million was recognized and included in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three month period ended March 31, 2020, as “Impairment of receivable in affiliated company”. The fair value of the Company’s investment was determined based on the liquidation value of Navios Europe II, including the individual fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities of Navios Europe II.

On May 14, 2020, an agreement was reached to liquidate Navios Europe II before its original expiration date. The transaction was completed on June 29, 2020.

As a result of the Navios Europe II Liquidation, Navios Partners acquired 100% of the stock of the five vessels owning Companies owning the dry bulk vessels of Navios Europe II with a fair value of $56.1 million and working capital balances of $(2.7) million. The acquisition was funded through a new credit facility and cash on hand for total of $36.1 million and the satisfaction of its receivable balances in the amount of approximately $17.3 million representing the Revolving Loan, Term Loan and accrued interest thereof directly owned to Navios Partners, previously presented under the captions “Amounts due from related parties” and “Loans receivable from affiliates”.

Following the Liquidation of Navios Europe II, there was no balance due from Navios Europe II as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

Others: Navios Partners has entered into an omnibus agreement with Navios Holdings (the “Partners Omnibus Agreement”) in connection with the closing of Navios Partners’ IPO governing, among other things, when Navios Holdings and Navios Partners may compete against each other as well as rights of first offer on certain drybulk carriers. Pursuant to the Partners Omnibus Agreement, Navios Partners generally agreed not to acquire or own Panamax or Capesize drybulk carriers under time charters of three or more years without the consent of an independent committee of Navios Partners.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

Foreign Exchange Risk

Our functional and reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. We engage in worldwide commerce with a variety of entities. Although our operations may expose us to certain levels of foreign currency risk, our transactions are predominantly U.S. dollar denominated. Transactions in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. Differences in exchange rates during the period between the date a transaction denominated in a foreign currency is consummated and the date on which it is either settled or translated, are recognized.

Interest Rate Risk

Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at rate based on a premium over U.S. $ LIBOR. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest rates rise. For the three month period ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 3.95% and 5.26%, respectively. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 by $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Financial instruments, which potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk, consist principally of trade accounts receivable. We closely monitor our exposure to customers for credit risk. We have policies in place to ensure that we trade with customers with an appropriate credit history.

For the three month period ended March 31, 2021, HMM, Singapore Marine and Cargill, represented approximately 21.5%, 19.4% and 12.2%, respectively, of total revenues. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, HMM represented approximately 29.2% of total revenues. No other customers accounted for 10% or more of total revenues for any of the periods presented.

On November 15, 2012 (as amended and supplemented in March 2014, December 2017 and July 2019), Navios Holdings and Navios Partners entered into the Navios Holdings Guarantee by which Navios Holdings would provide supplemental credit default insurance with a maximum cash payment of $20.0 million. As of March 31, 2021, the outstanding claim receivable amounted to $5.0 million. The guarantee claim receivable is presented under the caption “Amounts due from related parties-short term” in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The outstanding amount was fully repaid in April 2021.

If we lose a charter, we may be unable to re-deploy the related vessel on terms as favorable to us due to the long-term nature of most charters and the cyclical nature of the industry or we may be forced to charter the vessel on the spot market at then market rates which may be less favorable than the charter that has been terminated. If we are unable to re-deploy a vessel for which the charter has been terminated, we will not receive any revenues from that vessel, but we may be required to pay expenses necessary to maintain the vessel in proper operating condition. If we lose a vessel, any replacement or newbuilding would not generate revenues during its construction acquisition period, and we may be unable to charter any replacement vessel on terms as favorable to us as those of the terminated charter.

Even if we successfully charter our vessels in the future, our charterers may go bankrupt or fail to perform their obligations under the charter agreements, they may delay payments or suspend payments altogether, they may terminate the charter agreements prior to the agreed-upon expiration date or they may attempt to renegotiate the terms of the charters. The permanent loss of a customer, time charter or vessel, or a decline in payments under our charters, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and our ability to make cash distributions in the event we are unable to replace such customer, time charter or vessel. For further details, please read “Risk Factors” in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 20-F.

Inflation

Inflation has had a minimal impact on vessel operating expenses, drydocking expenses and general and administrative expenses. Our management does not consider inflation to be a significant risk to direct expenses in the current and foreseeable economic environment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Navios Partners’ Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. Following is a discussion of the accounting policies that involve a higher degree of judgment and the methods of their application that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of our financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Other than as described below, all significant accounting policies are as described in Note 2 to the Notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the SEC on March 31, 2021.

Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On April 22, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company dismissed PricewaterhouseCoopers S.A. (“PwC”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.

The reports of PwC on the Company’s’ consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the subsequent interim period from January 1, 2021 through the date of termination, (i) the Company did not have disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused PwC to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the consolidated financial statements for such years, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

The Company provided PwC with a copy of this Form 6-K prior to its filing with the SEC and requested that PwC furnish it with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of PwC’s letter, dated May 18, 2021, is attached as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 6-K.

On April 22, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company engaged Ernst & Young (Hellas) Certified Auditors-Accountants S.A. (“Ernst & Young”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm. In connection with the audits of the Company’s financial statements for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and through April 22, 2021, neither the Company nor anyone on its behalf has consulted with Ernst & Young on the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, or any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(iv) of Form 20-F and the related instructions to Item 16F of Form 20-F, or a reportable event, as that term is defined in Item 16F(a)(1)(v) of Form 20-F.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners” or the “Company”), is an international owner and operator of dry cargo vessels, formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. Navios GP L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”), was also formed on that date to act as the general partner of Navios Partners. Currently, the Company’s general partner is Olympos Maritime Ltd. (the “General Partner”) and holds a 2.0% general partner interest in Navios Partners.

Navios Partners is engaged in the seaborne transportation services of a wide range of dry cargo commodities including iron ore, coal, grain, fertilizer and also containers, chartering its vessels under medium to longer-term charters. The operations of Navios Partners are managed by Navios Shipmanagement Inc., (the “Manager”), from its offices in Piraeus, Greece, Singapore and Monaco.

Pursuant to the initial public offering (“IPO”) on November 16, 2007, Navios Partners entered into the following agreements:

(a) a management agreement with the Manager (the “Management Agreement”), pursuant to which the Manager provides Navios Partners commercial and technical management services;

(b) an administrative services agreement with the Manager (the “Administrative Services Agreement”), pursuant to which the Manager provides Navios Partners administrative services; and

(c) an omnibus agreement with Navios Holdings (the “Omnibus Agreement”), governing, among other things, when Navios Partners and Navios Holdings may compete against each other as well as rights of first offer on certain drybulk carriers.

In August 2019, Navios Holdings announced that it sold certain assets, including its ship management division and the general partnership interest in Navios Partners to N Shipmanagement Acquisition Corp. and related entities, affiliated with the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

As of March 31, 2021, there were 19,877,573 outstanding common units and 411,953 general partnership units. Navios Holdings currently owns a 12.6% ownership interest in Navios Partners and the General Partner holds the general partner interest of 2.0%.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a) Basis of presentation: The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments for a fair statement of Navios Partners’ consolidated balance sheets, statement of partner’s capital, statements of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The footnotes are condensed as permitted by the requirements for interim financial statements and accordingly, do not include information and disclosures required under United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. All such adjustments are deemed to be of a normal recurring nature. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes included in Navios Partners’ Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in our trading performance, management believes that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operation and meet its financial commitments, including but not limited to capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit data)

(b)Principles of consolidation: The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include Navios Partners’ wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of Marshall Islands, Malta, and Liberia from their dates of incorporation or, for chartered-in vessels, from the dates charter-in agreements were in effect. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in Navios Partners’ consolidated financial statements.

Navios Partners also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities (“VIE”) as defined in the accounting guidance, if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. A VIE is defined as a legal entity where either (i) equity interest holders as a group lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest, including decision making ability and an interest in the entity’s residual risks and rewards, (ii) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (iii) the voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the entity, or both and substantially all of the entity’s activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights.

Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are those entities in which Navios Partners has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity.

Investments in Affiliates: Affiliates are entities over which the Company generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Company has significant influence, but it does not exercise control. Investments in these entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company records an investment in the stock of an affiliate at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount for its share of the earnings or losses of the affiliate subsequent to the date of investment and reports the recognized earnings or losses in income. Dividends received from an affiliate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The Company recognizes gains and losses in earnings for the issuance of shares by its affiliates, provided that the issuance of such shares qualifies as a sale of such shares. When the Company’s share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate. For the three month period ended March 31, 2020, the amount of $6,900 was recognized as Impairment of receivable in affiliated company, related to the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in the Navios Partners’ receivable from Navios Europe II.

Affiliates included in the financial statements accounted for under the equity method: In the consolidated financial statements of Navios Partners, the following entities are included as affiliates and are accounted for under the equity method for such periods: (i) Navios Containers and its subsidiaries (ownership interest as of March 31, 2020 was 33.5%), following the completion of the merger, as of March 31, 2021 Navios Containers was acquired by Navios Partners and ownership was 100%; and (ii) Navios Europe II and its subsidiaries ownership interest as of March 31, 2020 was 5.0% through the date of its liquidation on June 29, 2020 (see Note 3 – Acquisition of Navios Containers).

Revenue and Expense Recognition: On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the provisions of ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using the modified retrospective approach. In doing so, the Company makes judgments including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when (or as) the Company transfers promised goods or services to its customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services, which occurs when (or as) the Company satisfies its contractual obligations and transfers control of the promised goods or services to its customers. Revenues are recognized to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In determining the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under its agreements, the Company performs the following steps: (i) identification of the promised goods or services in the contract; (ii) determination of whether the promised goods or services are performance obligations, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract; (iii) measurement of the transaction price, including the constraint on variable consideration; (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations based on estimated selling prices; and (v) recognition of revenue when (or as) the Company satisfies each performance obligation.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit data)

The Company’s contract revenues from time chartering and pooling arrangements are governed by ASU 2016-02 (ASC 842) “Leases”. Upon adoption of ASC 606 and ASC 842, the timing and recognition of earnings from the pool arrangements and time charter contracts to which the Company is party did not change from previous practice. The Company has determined to recognize lease revenue as a combined single lease component for all time charters (operating leases) as the related lease component and non-lease components will have the same timing and pattern of the revenue recognition of the combined single lease component. The performance obligations in a time charter contract are satisfied over term of the contract beginning when the vessel is delivered to the charterer until it is redelivered back to the Company.

Revenue from time chartering

Revenues from time chartering of vessels are accounted for as operating leases and are thus recognized on a straight line basis as the average lease revenue over the rental periods of such charter agreements, as service is performed. A time charter involves placing a vessel at the charterers’ disposal for a period of time during which the charterer uses the vessel in return for the payment of a specified daily hire rate. Short period charters for less than three months are referred to as spot-charters. Charters extending three months to a year are generally referred to as medium-term charters. All other charters are considered long-term. Under time charters, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel. Revenue from time chartering of vessels amounted to $62,499 and $45,649 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue from voyage contracts

The Company’s revenues earned under voyage contracts (revenues for the transportation of cargo). Under a voyage charter, a vessel is provided for the transportation of specific goods between specific ports in return for payment of an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue ratably from port of loading to when the charterer’s cargo is discharged as well as defer costs that meet the definition of “costs to fulfill a contract” and relate directly to the contract. Revenue from voyage contracts amounted to $1,220 and $0 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Pooling arrangements

For vessels operating in pooling arrangements, the Company earns a portion of total revenues generated by the pool, net of expenses incurred by the pool. The amount allocated to each pool participant vessel, including the Company’s vessels, is determined in accordance with an agreed-upon formula, which is determined by points awarded to each vessel in the pool based on the vessel’s age, design and other performance characteristics. Revenue under pooling arrangements is accounted for as variable rate operating leases on the accrual basis and is recognized when an agreement with the pool exists, price is fixed, service is provided and the collectability is reasonably assured. The allocation of such net revenue may be subject to future adjustments by the pool however, such changes are not expected to be material. The Company recognizes net pool revenue on a monthly and quarterly basis, when the vessel has participated in a pool during the period and the amount of pool revenue can be estimated reliably based on the pool report. Revenue from vessels operating in pooling arrangements amounted to $1,344 and $841 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revenue from profit-sharing

Profit-sharing revenues are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the charterer’s average daily income (calculated on a quarterly or half-yearly basis) over an agreed amount and accounted for on an accrual basis based on provisional amounts and for those contracts that provisional accruals cannot be made due to the nature of the profit sharing elements, these are accounted for on the actual cash settlement or when such revenue becomes determinable. There was no profit sharing revenue for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

NAVIOS MARITIME PARTNERS L.P.

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. Dollars except unit and per unit data)

Revenues are recorded net of address commissions. Address commissions represent a discount provided directly to the charterers based on a fixed percentage of the agreed upon charter or freight rate. Since address commissions represent a discount (sales incentive) on services rendered by the Company and no identifiable benefit is received in exchange for the consideration provided to the charterer, these commissions are presented as a reduction of revenue.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

Navios Partners accounted for the merger “as a business combination achieved in stages,” which results in the application of the “acquisition method,” as defined under ASC 805, Business Combinations. Navios Partners’ previously held equity interest in Navios Containers was remeasured to its fair value at March 31, 2021, the date the controlling interest was acquired and the resulting gain was recognized in earnings. Under the acquisition method, the fair value of the consideration paid by Navios Partners in connection with the transaction was allocated to Navios Containers’ net assets based on their estimated fair values at the date of the completion of the merger. The purchase price allocation is subject to finalization of Navios Partners valuation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired of $342,674 over the total purchase price consideration of $298,621, resulted in a bargain purchase gain of $44,053. The transaction resulted in a bargain purchase gain as a result of the share price of Navios Containers trading at a discount to their net asset value (“NAV”).

As of March 31, 2021, Navios Partners previously held interest of 35.7% in Navios Containers was remeasured to a fair value of $106,997, resulting in revaluation gain of $75,387 which along with the equity gain of $5,452 from the operations of Navios Containers upon the closing date aggregate to a gain on acquisition of control in the amount of $80,839 and is presented in, “Equity in net earnings of affiliated companies”, in the accompanying condensed consolidated Statement of Operations. The acquisition of the remaining non-controlling interest of 64.3% through the issuance of newly issued common units in Navios Partners was recorded at a fair value of $191,624 on the basis of 8,133,452 common units issued at a closing price per common unit of $23.56 as of the closing date of the Merger.

The results of operations of Navios Containers are not included in Navios Partners’ condensed consolidated statements of operations since the Merger was completed on March 31, 2021 and will be included in Navios Partners’ consolidated statements of operations commencing on April 1, 2021

Transaction costs amounted to $101 and have been expensed in the condensed consolidated statement of operations within the caption “General and administrative expenses”.

Pursuant to the issuance of the common units, Navios Partners issued 165,989, general partner units, resulting in net proceeds of $3,911.

NOTE 10 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

Navios Partners reports financial information and evaluates its operations by charter revenues. Navios Partners does not use discrete financial information to evaluate operating results for each type of charter or by sector. As a result, management reviews operating results solely by revenue per day and operating results of the fleet and thus Navios Partners has determined that it operates under one reportable segment.

The following table sets out operating revenue by geographic region for Navios Partners’ reportable segment. Revenue is allocated on the basis of the geographic region in which the customer is located. Drybulk and containerships operate worldwide. Revenues from specific geographic region, which contribute over 10% of total revenue, are disclosed separately.

Revenue by Geographic Region

Vessels operate on a worldwide basis and are not restricted to specific locations. Accordingly, it is not possible to allocate the assets of these operations to specific countries.

NOTE 11 – INCOME TAXES

Marshall Islands, Malta and Liberia do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of Marshall Islands, Malta and Liberia, the countries of the vessel-owning subsidiaries’ incorporation and vessels’ registration, the vessel-owning subsidiaries are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which have been included in vessel operating expenses in the accompanying condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In accordance with the currently applicable Greek law, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies having established an office in Greece are subject to duties towards the Greek state, which are calculated on the basis of the relevant vessel’s tonnage. The payment of said duties exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company and the relevant manager against any tax, duty, charge or contribution payable on income from the exploitation of the foreign flagged vessel.

Pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, U.S. source income from the international operation of ships is generally exempt from U.S. income tax if the company operating the ships meets certain incorporation and ownership requirements. Among other things, in order to qualify for this exemption, the company operating the ships must be incorporated in a country, which grants an equivalent exemption from income taxes to U.S. corporations. All the vessel-owning subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria.

In addition, these companies must meet an ownership test. The management of Navios Partners believes that this ownership test was satisfied prior to the IPO by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company. Although not free from doubt, management also believes that the ownership test will be satisfied based on the trading volume and ownership of Navios Partners’ units, but no assurance can be given that this will remain so in the future.

NOTE 12 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Navios Partners is involved in various disputes and arbitration proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Provisions have been recognized in the financial statements for all such proceedings where Navios Partners believes that a liability may be probable, and for which the amounts are reasonably estimable, based upon facts known at the date the financial statements were prepared. Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters will be immaterial individually and in the aggregate to Navios Partners’ financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

On February 3, 2016, Navios Partners announced that its Board of Directors decided to suspend the quarterly cash distributions to its unitholders, including the distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2015. In March 2018, the Board determined to reinstate a distribution and any continued distribution will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, taking into consideration the terms of its partnership agreement. There is no guarantee that the Company will pay the quarterly distribution on the common units in any quarter.

In April 2020, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended March 31, 2020 of $0.30 per unit. The distribution was paid on May 14, 2020 to all unitholders of common units and general partner units of record as of May 11, 2020. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution was $3,365.

In January 2021, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended December 31, 2020 of $0.05 per unit.

In April 2021, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended March 31, 2021 of $0.05 per unit. The distribution was paid on May 14, 2021 to all unitholders of common units and general partner units of record as of May 11, 2021.

Navios Partners calculates earnings per unit by allocating reported net income for each period to each class of units based on the distribution waterfall for available cash specified in Navios Partners’ partnership agreement, net of the unallocated earnings (or losses). Basic earnings/(losses) per unit is determined by dividing net income/(loss) attributable to Navios Partners common unitholders by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per unit, except that the weighted average number of outstanding units increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding unit options or phantom units. Net loss per unit undistributed is determined by taking the distributions in excess of net income and allocating between common units and general partner units on a 98%-2% basis. There were no options or phantom units outstanding during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

The calculations of the basic and diluted earnings per unit are presented below.


	Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2021		Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2020
Net income / (loss)	$	136,679	$	(10,724	)
Income / (loss) attributable to:
Common unitholders	$	133,946	$	(10,511	)
General partner units
Weighted average units outstanding basic
Common unitholders		11,367,280		10,845,324
Earnings / (loss) per unit basic:
Common unitholders	$	11.78	$	(0.97	)
Weighted average units outstanding diluted
Common unitholders		11,453,630		10,845,324
Earnings / (loss) per unit diluted:
Common unitholders	$	11.69	$	(0.97	)
Earnings / (loss) per unit distributed basic:
Common unitholders	$	0.05	$	0.30
Earnings / (loss) per unit distributed diluted:
Common unitholders	$	0.05	$	0.30

Common unitholders	$	11.73	$	(1.27	)
Earnings/ (loss) per unit undistributed diluted:
Common unitholders	$	11.64	$	(1.27	)

Potential common units of 86,350 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per unit and 140,191 relating to unvested restricted common units for the three month periods ended, March 31, 2020, have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e. those that increase income per unit or decrease loss per unit) and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per unit.

NOTE 17 – LEASES

Time charter out contracts and pooling arrangements

The Company’s contract revenues from time chartering and pooling arrangements are governed by ASC 842. Upon adoption of ASC 842, the timing and recognition of earnings from the time charter contracts and pool arrangements to which the Company is party did not change from previous practice. For further analysis, (see Note 2— Summary of Significant Accounting Policies).

Bareboat charter-in contract

On July 24, 2019, Navios Partners took delivery of the Navios Libra, a 2019-built Panamax vessel of 82,011 dwt, for a ten-year bareboat charter-in agreement. The bareboat charter-in provides for purchase options with de-escalating purchase prices starting on the end of the fourth year and an average daily rate of $6. The Company has performed an assessment considering the lease classification criteria under ASC 842 and concluded that the arrangement is an Operating Lease. Consequently, the Company has recognized an Operating Lease Liability based on the net present value of the remaining charter-in payments and a right-of-use asset at an amount equal to the operating liability adjusted for the carrying amount of the straight-line liability.

Based on management estimates and market conditions, the lease term of this lease is being assessed at each balance sheet date. At lease commencement, the Company determines a discount rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments so that it can determine lease classification and measure the lease liability. In determining the discount rate to be used at lease commencement, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate as there was no implicit rate included in charter-in contracts that can be readily determinable. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate that reflects the interest a lessee would have to pay to borrow funds on a collateralized basis over a similar term and in a similar economic environment. The Company then applied the respective incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term of the specific lease. As of July 24, 2019, Navios Partners’ incremental borrowing rate was approximately 7%.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the unamortized balance of the lease liability amounted $12,876 and $13,153, respectively, and is presented under the captions “Operating Lease Liabilities, current and non-current portion” in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right of use asset amounted $13,030 and $13,285 as at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is presented under the caption “Operating lease assets” in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company recognizes the lease payments for its operating leases as charter hire on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020 amounted to $513 and $519, respectively, and is included under the caption “Time charter and voyage expenses” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company proceeded with step one of impairment assessment of the unamortized balance of the Right of use asset in relation to vessel Navios Libra. As the undiscounted projected net operating cash flows exceed the carrying value of the right-of-use asset, no impairment loss was recognized as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

The table below provides the total amount of lease payments on an undiscounted basis on the Company’s chartered-in contracts as of March 31, 2021:


	Charter-in vessels in operation
March 31, 2022		2,172
March 31, 2023		2,109
March 31, 2024		2,086
March 31, 2025		2,081
March 31, 2026 and thereafter		8,710

Sale and Lease Back Agreements

During 2019 and 2018 the Company has entered into sale and leaseback agreements with unrelated third parties for five vessels of the Company’s fleet. Navios Partners has purchase obligations to acquire the vessels at the end of the lease terms, consequently under ASC 842-40 the transfers of the vessels were determined to be failed sales and were treated as financing transactions. The vessels were not derecognized and continue to be depreciated over their respective useful lives, and tested for impairment as per Company’s policy (see Note 7— Borrowings).
