MONACO, July 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. (“Navios Midstream”) (NYSE:NAP), an owner and operator of tanker vessels, reported its financial results today for the second quarter and the six month period ended June 30, 2016.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Midstream stated, “We are pleased to report $16.4 million of EBITDA and $5.9 million of net income for the second quarter of 2016, representing increases of 17.5% and 9.2%, respectively, over the prior comparable period. We recently announced a distribution of $0.4225 per unit, representing an annual distribution of $1.69 per unit and a current yield of approximately 13%. Our total unit coverage was 1.14x for the quarter.”
Angeliki Frangou continued, “While the broader MLP market has appreciated about 11% this year, the market is well below the 2014 highs. Our financial strength allows us to maintain our dividend while waiting for the MLP market to recover further - we have conservative leverage and low operating costs. In addition, we have fixed virtually all available days for the next 30 months through 2018.”

Three month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
Revenue for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 increased by $4.3 million to $22.7 million, as compared to $18.4 million for the same period in 2015. The increase was due to the acquisition of the Nave Celeste and the C. Dream in June 2015 and an increase of $1.2 million in profit sharing recognized in relation to certain charters for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the same period of 2015. Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) was $45,783 for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 and $46,545 for the three month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in TCE was due to the lower average charter rate of the two VLCCs acquired in June 2015, compared to the existing fleet.
EBITDA increased by approximately $2.4 million to $16.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $14.0 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in EBITDA was mainly due to a $4.3 million increase in revenue. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (a) $1.5 million increase in management fees due to the two VLCCs acquired in June 2015; (b) $0.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses; and (c) $0.1 million increase in time charter expenses.
The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement for capital expenditures for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $3.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Navios Midstream generated an Operating Surplus for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 of $10.0 million. Operating Surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Net income for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 was $5.9 million compared to a $5.4 million for the three month period ended June 30, 2015. The increase in net income of $0.5 million was due to a: (a) $2.4 million increase in EBITDA; and (b) $0.1 million increase in interest income; partially mitigated by a: (i) $1.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization; and (ii) $0.7 million increase in direct vessel expenses.
Earnings per common unit for the three month period ended June 30, 2016 was $0.28.
Six month periods ended June 30, 2016 and 2015
Revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 increased by approximately $11.8 million to $46.8 million, as compared to $35.1 million for the same period in 2015. The increase was due to the acquisition of the Nave Celeste and the C. Dream in June 2015 and an increase of $1.9 million in profit sharing recognized in relation to certain charters for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to the same period of 2015. Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) was $44,565 for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 and $46,234 for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The decrease in TCE was due to the lower average charter rate of the two VLCCs acquired in June 2015, compared to the existing fleet.
EBITDA increased by approximately $7.5 million to $34.1 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2016, as compared to $26.6 million for the same period in 2015. The increase in EBITDA was mainly due to an $11.8 million increase in revenue. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (a) $3.2 million increase in management fees due to the two VLCCs acquired in June 2015; (b) $0.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses; (c) approximately $0.4 million increase in time charter expenses; and (d) $0.1 million increase in other (expense)/ income, net.
The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $7.2 million and $4.5 million, respectively (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Navios Midstream generated an Operating Surplus for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 of $21.3 million. Operating Surplus is a non-GAAP financial measure used by certain investors to assist in evaluating a partnership’s ability to make quarterly cash distributions (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 was $13.4 million compared to $11.7 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2015. The increase of $1.7 million in net income was due to a: (a) $7.5 million increase in EBITDA; and (b) $0.1 million increase in interest income; partially mitigated by a: (i) $2.1 million increase in interest expenses and finance cost; (ii) $2.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization; and (iii) $1.0 million increase in direct vessel expenses.
Earnings per common unit for the six month period ended June 30, 2016 was $0.65.

| (1 | ) | Available days for the fleet represent total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Midstream’s possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with scheduled repairs, dry dockings or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which a vessel is capable of generating revenues. |
| (2 | ) | Operating days is 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 Midstream’s vessels were available for revenue generating available days, 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, drydockings or special surveys. |
| (4 | ) | Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rates: TCE rates are 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 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. |

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
1. EBITDA
EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization and income taxes. We use EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA to net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by/(used in) operating activities adding back, when applicable and as the case may be, the effect of (i) net increase/(decrease) in operating assets, (ii) net (increase)/decrease in operating liabilities, (iii) net interest cost, (iv) amortization of deferred finance charges and other related expenses, (v) provision for losses on accounts receivable, (vi) equity in affiliates, net of dividends received, (vii) payments for drydock and special survey costs, (viii) gain/(loss) on sale of assets/subsidiaries, and (ix) impairment charges. Navios Midstream believes that EBITDA is the basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and presents useful information to investors regarding Navios Midstream’s ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and make cash distributions. Navios Midstream also believes that EBITDA is used (i) by potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates; and (iii) by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Midstream’s results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. As a result of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Midstream’s performance. Furthermore, our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
2. Operating Surplus
Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense and estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures. 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 Midstream’s 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. 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.
3. Available Cash
Available Cash generally means for each fiscal quarter, all cash on hand at the end of the quarter:
- less the amount of cash reserves established by the Board of Directors to:
- provide for the proper conduct of Navios Midstream’s business (including reserve for maintenance and replacement capital expenditures);
- comply with applicable law, any of Navios Midstream’s debt instruments, or other agreements; or
