(firmenpresse) - MONACO -- (Marketwired) -- 10/27/15 -- Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. (NYSE: NAP)
Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. ("Navios Midstream") (NYSE: NAP), an owner and operator of tanker vessels, reported its financial results today for the third quarter and the nine month period ended September 30, 2015.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Midstream stated, "We are excited to report our results for the third quarter of 2015. We had $16.2 million of EBITDA and $6.2 million of net income, or $.30 per common unit. We also announced a 2.4% increase in distributions to $.42 and a quarter cents per unit. Navios Midstream's annualized distribution will be $1.69 per unit -- offering a current yield of 11.5%."
Angeliki Frangou continued, "The VLCC market remains healthy and the relative low price of oil bodes well for oil consumption and transportation. So far, this correlation has held -- the 2015 year to date spot rate for a VLCC improved more than 100% to an average of about $56,000 compared to the average rate of $27,000 in 2014. In addition, the charter market has improved by 86%, with 56 long-term time charters fixed through mid-October compared to 30 for all of 2014."
The Board of Directors of Navios Midstream declared a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2015 of $0.4225 per unit. This represents an increase of 2.4% from the cash distribution of $0.4125 per unit declared in the previous quarter. The cash distribution is payable on November 13, 2015 to unitholders of record as of November 11, 2015.
During the third quarter of 2015, Navios Midstream benefited from the VLCC spot market and recognized $2.1 million under its profit sharing arrangements. Profit share recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, was $4.6 million.
Navios Midstream has entered into long-term charter-out agreements for its vessels, with a remaining average term of 5.6 years, which are expected to provide a stable base of revenue and distributable cash flow. Navios Midstream has currently contracted out 100% of its available days for 2015 and 2016, expecting to generate revenues of approximately $81.9 million and $89.6 million, respectively. The average expected daily charter-out rate for the fleet is $44,151 and $40,798 for 2015 and 2016, respectively.
For the following results and the selected financial data presented herein, Navios Midstream has compiled condensed consolidated and combined statements of operations for the three and nine months periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The quarterly and nine month information for period 2015 and 2014 was derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated and combined financial statements for the respective periods.

Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 increased by $6.3 million to $22.5 million, as compared to $16.2 million for the same period in 2014. Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") was $45,432 for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 and $43,478 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase was due to profit sharing of $2.1 million recognized in the three month period ended September 30, 2015, in relation to certain charters and the acquisition of the Nave Celeste and the C. Dream in June 2015.
EBITDA increased by $4.0 million to $16.2 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $12.3 million for the same period in 2014. The increase in EBITDA was due to a $6.3 million increase in revenue. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (a) $1.7 million increase in management fees; (b) $0.5 million increase in general and administrative expenses; and (c) $0.1 million increase in time charter expenses.
The reserve for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 was $3.6 million (please see Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures in Exhibit 3).
Navios Midstream generated an Operating Surplus for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 of $9.7 million.

Net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 was $6.2 million compared to a less than $0.1 million loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in net income was due to a: (i) $4.0 million increase in EBITDA; and (ii) $3.8 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost; partially mitigated by a :(a) $1.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization; and (b) $0.1 million increase in direct vessel expenses.

Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 increased by $10.0 million to $57.5 million, as compared to $47.5 million for the same period in 2014. Time Charter Equivalent ("TCE") was $45,917 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 and $42,987 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase was due to profit sharing of $4.6 million recognized in the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, in relation to certain charters and the acquisition of the Nave Celeste and the C. Dream in June 2015.
EBITDA increased by $7.3 million to $42.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $35.5 million for the same period in 2014.

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 was negatively affected by a $1.7 million write-off of deferred finance cost in association with debt prepayment. Excluding that write-off, Adjusted net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 was $19.6 million compared to a $1.4 million loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in Adjusted net income was mainly due to a: (i) $7.3 million increase in EBITDA; and (ii) $15.4 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost; partially mitigated by a $1.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization.
Earnings per common unit for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 was $0.89.

This press release contains forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and Navios Midstream's growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy; including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further time charters. Words such as "may", "expects", "intends", "plans", "believes", "anticipates", "hopes", "estimates", and variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include comments regarding expected revenue and time charters. Although the Navios Midstream believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been correct. These statements involve known and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates which are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Navios Midstream. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but are not limited to, the creditworthiness of our charterers and the ability of our contract counterparties to fulfill their obligations to us, tanker industry trends, including charter rates and vessel values and factors affecting vessel supply and demand, the aging of our vessels and resultant increases in operation and drydocking costs, the loss of any customer or charter or vessel, our ability to repay outstanding indebtedness, to obtain additional financing and to obtain replacement charters for our vessels, in each case, at commercially acceptable rates or at all, increases in costs and expenses, including but not limited to: crew wages, insurance, provisions, port expenses, lube oil, bunkers, repairs, maintenance and general and administrative expenses, the expected cost of, and our ability to comply with, governmental regulations and maritime self-regulatory organization standards, as well as standard regulations imposed by our charterers applicable to our business, potential liability from litigation and our vessel operations, including discharge of pollutants, general domestic and international political conditions, competitive factors in the market in which Navios Midstream operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in the Navios Midstream's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EBITDA represents net income plus interest and finance costs plus depreciation and amortization and income taxes.
EBITDA is presented because Navios Midstream believes that EBITDA is a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and present useful information to investors regarding Navios Midstream's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and pay dividends. EBITDA is a "non-GAAP financial measure" 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.
While EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
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.
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
provide funds for distributions to the unitholders and to the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters;
plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Working capital borrowings are generally borrowings that are made under any revolving credit or similar agreement used solely for working capital purposes or to pay distributions to partners.
Available Cash 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. Available cash 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.
