All of the financial statements have been stated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). You should read this section together with the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes included in Navios Partners’ 2023 annual report filed on Form 20-F on April 3, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

This report contains and will contain 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, TCE rates (as defined herein), and Navios Partners’ expected cash flow generation, future contracted revenues, future distributions and its ability to make distributions going forward, opportunities to reinvest cash accretively in a fleet renewal program or otherwise, potential capital gains, its ability to take advantage of dislocation in the market and Navios Partners’ growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy, including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further time charters and Navios Partners’ ability to refinance its debt on attractive terms, or at all. 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. These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by Navios Partners at the time these statements were made. Although Navios Partners 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 risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the control of Navios Partners. 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, risks relating to: global and regional economic and political conditions including global economic activity, demand for seaborne transportation of the products we ship, the ability and willingness of charterers to fulfill their obligations to us and prevailing charter rates, the economic condition of the markets in which we operate, shipyards performing scrubber installations, construction of newbuilding vessels, drydocking and repairs, changing vessel crews and availability of financing, potential disruption of shipping routes due to accidents, wars, sanctions, diseases, pandemics, political events, piracy or acts by terrorists; uncertainty relating to global trade, including prices of seaborne commodities and continuing issues related to seaborne volume and ton miles, our continued ability to enter into long-term time charters, our ability to maximize the use of our vessels, expected demand in the dry and liquid cargo shipping sectors in general and the demand for our dry bulk, containerships and tanker vessels in particular, fluctuations in charter rates for dry bulk, containerships and tanker vessels, the aging of our fleet and resultant increases in operations costs, the loss of any customer or charter or vessel, the financial condition of our customers, changes in the availability and costs of funding due to conditions in the bank market, capital markets and other factors, fluctuation in interest rates and foreign exchange rates, increases in costs and expenses, including but not limited to: crew, 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, general domestic and international political conditions, competitive factors in the market in which Navios Partners operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in Navios Partners’ filings with the SEC, including its Form 20-F and Form 6-K. Navios Partners expressly disclaims any obligations or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in Navios Partners’ expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Navios Partners makes no prediction or statement about the performance of its common units.

Recent Developments

In April 2024 and May 2024, Navios Partners took delivery of the Zim Condor, a 2024-built 5,300 TEU Containership, and the Nave Cosmos, a 2024-built Aframax/LR2 vessel, respectively, from unrelated third parties.

In May 2024, Navios Partners completed the sale of a 2006-built Panamax vessel of 76,596 dwt and a 2009-built VLCC vessel of 297,188 dwt to unrelated third parties, for aggregate gross sale proceeds of $65.8 million.

In connection with its cybersecurity risk management program, the Company has appointed Mr. Efstratios Desypris as its Cyber Security Officer. Mr. Desypris will report to the Company’s Board of Directors and be responsible for the oversight of the Company’s cybersecurity processes, policies, and governance frameworks.

Overview

We are an international owner and operator of dry cargo and tanker vessels that was formed in August 2007 by Navios Holdings. We have been a public company since November 2007.

As of May 16, 2024, there were outstanding 30,184,388 common units and 622,296 general partnership units. Angeliki Frangou, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairwoman beneficially owns an approximately 16.7% common interest of the total outstanding common units including 4,672,314 common units held through four entities affiliated with her. An entity affiliated with Angeliki Frangou beneficially owns 622,296 general partnerships units, representing an approximately 2.0% ownership interest in Navios Partners based on all outstanding common units and general partnership units.

Fleet

Navios Partners’ fleet consists of 76 dry bulk vessels, 46 containerships and 54 tanker vessels, including 17 newbuilding tankers (11 Aframax/LR2 and six MR2 product tanker chartered-in vessels under bareboat contracts), that are expected to be delivered through 2027 and nine newbuilding containerships (seven 5,300 TEU containerships and two 7,700 TEU containerships), that are expected to be delivered through 2025. The fleet excludes one containership agreed to be sold.

We generate revenues by charging our customers for the use of our vessels to transport their dry cargo commodities, containers, crude oil and/or refined petroleum products. In general, the vessels in our fleet are chartered-out under time charters, which range in length from one to 12 years at inception. From time to time, we operate vessels in the spot market until the vessels have been chartered out under short-term, medium and long-term charters.

Our Charters

We provide seaborne shipping services under short, medium, and long-term time charters, bareboat charters and voyage charters with customers that we believe are creditworthy. For each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 no customer accounted for 10.0% or more of our total revenues.

Our revenues are driven by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which the 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 drydock undergoing repairs and upgrades;

•

the age, condition and specifications of the vessels;

•

the aggregate level of supply and demand in the liquid, dry and containerized cargo shipping industry;

•

economic conditions, such as the impact of inflationary cost pressures, decreased consumer discretionary spending, increasing interest rates, and the possibility of recession or financial market instability;

•

armed conflicts, such as the Israel’s war on Gaza, Russian/Ukrainian conflicts and the attacks in the Red Sea and in the Gulf of Aden; and

•

the outbreak of global epidemics or pandemics.

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 the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report 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 Annual Report for a discussion of certain risks inherent in our business.

Results of Operations

Overview

The following table reflects certain key indicators of Navios Partners’ fleet performance for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.


	Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2024 (unaudited)			Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited)
Available Days⁽¹⁾		13,540			13,908
Operating Days⁽²⁾		13,445			13,749
Fleet Utilization⁽³⁾		99.3	%		98.9	%
Time Charter Equivalent rate (per day)⁽⁴⁾	$	21,514		$	20,811
Vessels operating at end of periods		151			156

(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, drydockings 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, drydockings or special surveys.

(4)

Time Charter Equivalent rate (“TCE rate”) per day is defined as voyage, time charter revenues and charter-out revenues under bareboat contracts (grossed up by the applicable fixed vessel operating expenses for the respective periods) less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period. The TCE rate per day is a customary 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, 2024 compared to the Three Month Period ended March 31, 2023

Time charter and voyage revenues: Time charter and voyage revenues of Navios Partners for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 increased by $9.1 million, or 2.9%, to $318.6 million, as compared to $309.5 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in revenue from freight voyages. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, time charter and voyage revenues were positively affected by $0.1 million and negatively affected by $13.0 million, respectively, relating to the straight-line effect of the containership and tanker charters with de-escalating rates. For the three month period ended March 31, 2024, the TCE rate increased by 3.4% to $21,514 per day, as compared to $20,811 per day for the same period in 2023. The available days of the fleet decreased by 2.6% to 13,540 days for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to 13,908 days for the same period in 2023 mainly due to the sale of vessels, partially mitigated by the deliveries of newbuilding and secondhand vessels.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 increased by $2.1 million to $41.9 million, as compared to $39.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase was mainly attributable to a: (i) $3.7 million increase in bunkers expenses arising from the increased days of freight voyages in the first quarter of 2024; (ii) $3.4 million increase in other voyage expenses; and (iii) $0.6 million increase in port expenses. The increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $5.3 million decrease in bareboat and charter-in hire expense of the tanker and dry bulk fleet; and (ii) $0.3 million decrease in brokers’ commissions.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, increased by $3.2 million to $17.6 million, as compared to $14.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $3.2 million was mainly attributable to the amortization of the deferred drydock and special survey costs due to the increase in the number of vessels that underwent drydocking or special survey.

Vessel operating expenses: Vessel operating expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, increased by $1.7 million to $84.9 million, as compared to $83.2 million for the same period in 2023. The increase was mainly due to the adjustment of the fixed daily fee in accordance with the management agreements (the “Management Agreements”), partially mitigated by the sale of vessels.

General and administrative expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million to $20.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $19.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase was mainly due to a $1.7 million increase in administrative expenses paid to the Manager (as defined herein) as per the administrative services agreement (the “Administrative Services Agreement”); partially mitigated by a $0.5 million decrease in legal and professional fees, as well as audit fees and other administrative expenses.

Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets: Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets amounted to $55.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $54.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023. The increase of $1.4 million was mainly attributable to a: (i) $2.6 million increase in depreciation expense due to the delivery of eight vessels in 2023 and during the first quarter of 2024; and (ii) $1.2 million increase in depreciation expense mainly due to vessel improvements. The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $2.1 million decrease in depreciation expense due to the sale of 16 vessels in 2023 and during the first quarter of 2024; and (ii) $0.3 million decrease in amortization of favorable lease terms. Depreciation of vessels is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years for dry bulk and tanker vessels and 30 years for containerships, respectively, from the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard.

Amortization of unfavorable lease terms: Amortization of unfavorable lease terms amounted to $3.1 million and $7.6 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, related to the amortization of the fair value of the time charters with unfavorable lease terms as determined at the acquisition date of Navios Maritime Containers L.P. and at the date of obtaining control of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation.

Gain on sale of vessels, net: Gain on sale of vessels amounted to $1.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, relating to a gain on sale of one of our vessels. Gain on sale of vessels, net amounted to $33.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023, relating to a gain on sale of eight of our vessels amounted to $34.1 million, partially mitigated by an impairment loss of one of our vessels that amounted to $0.6 million.

Interest expense and finance cost, net: Interest expense and finance cost, net for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $6.1 million to $29.4 million, as compared to $35.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023. The decrease was mainly due to the decrease in the discount effect of long-term assets, the increase in interest expense capitalized related to deposits for vessels acquisitions and the decrease in Navios Partner’s weighted average loan balance to $1,888.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to the $1,904.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023; partially mitigated by the increase of the weighted average interest rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 to 7.1% from 7.0% for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.

Interest income: Interest income amounted to $3.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $1.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023, mainly due to the increase of time deposits.

Other expense, net: Other expense, net for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 decreased by $2.9 million to $3.5 million, as compared to $6.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023, mainly due to the decrease in expenses related to claims and foreign exchange differences, partially mitigated by the increase in other miscellaneous expenses, net.

Net income: Net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $73.4 million as compared to $99.2 million net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2023. The decrease in net income of $25.8 million was due to the factors discussed above.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations, our equity offerings, proceeds from asset sales, long-term bank borrowings and other debt raisings. 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. As of March 31, 2024, Navios Partners’ current assets totaled $443.3 million, while current liabilities totaled $497.6 million, resulting in a negative working capital position of $54.3 million. Navios Partners’ cash forecast indicates that it will generate sufficient cash through its contracted revenue of $3.4 billion as of May 16, 2024 and cash proceeds from the sale of vessels (see Note 14 - Subsequent events to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report) to make the required principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, to make payments for capital expenditures, provide for the normal working capital requirements of the business for a period of at least 12 months from the date of issuance of our unaudited condensed 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. 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 cash 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.

In July 2022, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized a common unit repurchase program for up to $100.0 million of the Company’s common units. Common unit repurchases will be made from time to time for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases under the program will be determined by Navios Partners’ management based upon market conditions and financial and other considerations, including working capital and planned or anticipated growth opportunities. As of May 16, 2024, no repurchases of common units have been made. The program does not require any minimum repurchase or any specific number of common units and may be suspended or reinstated at any time in the Company’s discretion and without notice. The Board of Directors will review the program periodically.

The following table presents cash flow information derived from the unaudited condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows of Navios Partners for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.


	Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2024 (unaudited)			Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2023 (unaudited)

(Decrease)/ increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	(16,345	)	$	38,113

Net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $0.1 million to $94.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $94.5 million for the same period in 2023. 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 were $64.4 million of non-cash positive net adjustments for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, which consisted mainly of the following adjustments: (i) $55.6 million depreciation and amortization of intangible assets; (ii) $14.3 million amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs; and (iii) $1.7 million amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs and discount. These adjustments were partially mitigated by: (i) $3.1 million amortization of unfavorable lease terms; (ii) $1.9 million gain from sale of vessels; (iii) $1.4 million non-cash amortization of deferred revenue and straight-line effect of the containership and tanker charters with de-escalating rates; and (iv) $0.8 million amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities.

The net cash outflow resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $43.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 resulted from: (i) a $32.0 million decrease in amounts due to related parties; (ii) an $18.7 million in payments for drydock and special survey costs; (iii) an $8.6 million decrease in accounts payable; (iv) a $2.6 million decrease in deferred revenue; (v) a $0.9 million increase in accounts receivable; and (vi) a $0.9 million increase in prepaid expenses and other current assets. This was partially mitigated by a: (i) $20.1 million decrease in amounts due from related parties (including current and non-current portion); and (ii) $0.2 million increase in accrued expenses.

The aggregate adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities were $35.9 million of non-cash positive net adjustments for the three month period ended March 31, 2023, which consisted mainly of the following adjustments: (i) $54.2 million depreciation and amortization of intangible assets; (ii) $9.1 million non-cash amortization of deferred revenue and straight-line effect of the containerships and tankers charters with de-escalating rates; (iii) $9.1 million amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs; (iv) $2.6 million amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities; and (v) $2.0 million amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs and discount. These adjustments were partially mitigated by: (i) $33.5 million gain from sale of vessels; and (ii) $7.6 million amortization of unfavorable lease terms.

The net cash outflow resulting from the change in operating assets and liabilities of $40.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 resulted from a: (i) $73.3 million decrease in amounts due to related parties; (ii) $12.5 million in payments for drydock and special survey costs; and (iii) $4.8 million decrease in accounts payable. This was partially mitigated by: (i) a $31.5 million decrease in accounts receivable (ii) an $8.9 million increase in deferred revenue; (iii) a $7.3 million increase in accrued expenses; (iv) a $1.9 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets; and (v) a $0.4 million decrease in amounts due from related parties.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the net cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023

Net cash used in investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 amounted to $168.1 million as compared to $44.2 million net cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023.

Net cash used in investing activities of $168.1 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 was mainly due to: (i) $90.1 million related to deposits for the acquisition/ option to acquire vessels and capitalized expenses; (ii) $49.0 million related to vessels acquisitions and additions; and (iii) $38.5 million related to time deposits with original maturities greater than three months. This was partially mitigated by $9.5 million proceeds related to the sale of one vessel.

Net cash provided by investing activities of $44.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was mainly due to $157.6 million proceeds related to the sale of eight vessels. This was partially mitigated by: (i) $62.1 million related to deposits for the acquisition/ option to acquire vessels and capitalized expenses; and (ii) $51.3 million related to vessels’ acquisitions and additions.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 as compared to net cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2023

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $157.9 million to $57.3 million inflow for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $100.6 million outflow for the same period in 2023.

Net cash provided by financing activities of $57.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 was mainly due to $140.7 million proceeds from the new credit facilities and sale and leaseback agreement. This was partially mitigated by: (i) $79.8 million repayments of loans and financial liabilities; (ii) $2.1 million payments of deferred finance costs related to the new credit facilities and financial liabilities; and (iii) $1.5 million payments for cash distributions.

Net cash used in financing activities of $100.6 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 was mainly due to: (i) $172.5 million repayments of loans and financial liabilities; (ii) $2.8 million payments of deferred finance costs related to the new credit facilities and financial liability; and (iii) $1.5 million payments for cash distributions. This was partially mitigated by $76.2 million proceeds from the new credit facilities and sale and leaseback agreements.

(1) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization (including intangible accelerated amortization) and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain items, as described in the table above. 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 increase/ (decrease) in operating assets; (ii) net decrease in operating liabilities; (iii) net interest cost; (iv) amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs and discount; (v) gain on sale of assets, net; (vi) non-cash amortization of deferred revenue and straight-line effect of the containership and tanker charters with de-escalating rates; (vii) stock-based compensation expense; and (viii) amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities. 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.

Each of 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 periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was affected by the item described in the table above. Excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA increased by $8.9 million to $164.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2024, as compared to $155.4 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $9.1 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; (ii) $2.9 million decrease in other expense, net; and (iii) $1.9 million decrease in direct vessel expenses (excluding the amortization of deferred drydock, special survey costs and other capitalized items). The above increase was partially mitigated by a: (i) $2.1 million increase in time charter and voyage expenses; (ii) $1.7 million increase in vessel operating expenses mainly due to the adjustment of the fixed daily fee in accordance with our Management Agreements, partially mitigated by the sale of vessels; and (iii) $1.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses in accordance with our Administrative Services Agreement.

(2) Operating Surplus

Navios Partners generated Operating Surplus for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 of $66.6 million, as compared to $65.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2023. 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 (See “Reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to Net Cash from Operating Activities, EBITDA and Operating Surplus” contained herein).

Operating Surplus represents net income adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense, non-cash interest expense, non-cash interest income, 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. 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.

Capital Expenditures

Navios Partners finances its capital expenditures with cash flows from operations, equity offerings, proceeds from asset sales, long-term bank borrowings and other debt raisings. Capital expenditures for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $139.1 million and $113.4 million, respectively.

Maintenance for our vessels and expenses related to drydocking expenses are reimbursed at cost by Navios Partners to Navios Shipmanagement Inc., (the “Manager”) and Navios Tankers Management Inc. (“Tankers Manager” and together with the Manager, the “Managers”) under the Management Agreements.

Maintenance and Replacement Capital Expenditures Reserve

The reserves for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 were $68.3 million. We estimate that our annual replacement reserve for the year ending December 31, 2024 will be approximately $265.7 million, for replacing our vessels at the end of their useful lives. The reserves for estimated maintenance and replacement capital expenditures for the three month period ended March 31, 2023 were $56.3 million.

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 dry bulk and tanker 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.

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 on the common units on any quarter.

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.

See Note 12 – Cash distributions and earnings per unit to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.

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

Interest rates have increased significantly as central banks in Europe, United States and other developed countries raise interest rates in an effort to reduce the inflation effect. The eventual implications of tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higher cost of capital for our business.

Borrowings under our credit facilities and financial liabilities bear interest at a rate based on a premium over SOFR. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest rates rise. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 7.1% and 7.0%, respectively. A 1% increase in SOFR would have increased our interest expense for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 by $3.3 million and $3.7 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 each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, no customer accounted for 10.0% or more of our total revenues.

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 Annual Report.

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Navios Maritime Partners L.P. (“Navios Partners” or the “Company”), is an international owner and operator of dry cargo and tanker vessels, formed on August 7, 2007 under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.

Navios Partners is engaged in the seaborne transportation services of a wide range of liquid and dry cargo commodities including crude oil, refined petroleum, chemicals, iron ore, coal, grain, fertilizer and also containers, chartering its vessels under short, medium and longer-term charters. The operations of Navios Partners are managed by Navios Shipmanagement Inc., (the “Manager”) and Navios Tankers Management Inc. (“Tankers Manager” and together with the Manager, the “Managers”) which are entities affiliated with the Company’s Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer (see Note 11 – Transactions with related parties and affiliates).

As of March 31, 2024, there were outstanding 30,184,388 common units and 622,296 general partnership units. Angeliki Frangou, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairwoman beneficially owns an approximately 16.7% common interest of the total outstanding common units including 4,672,314 common units held through four entities affiliated with her. An entity affiliated with Angeliki Frangou beneficially owns 622,296 general partnerships units, representing an approximately 2.0% ownership interest in Navios Partners based on all outstanding common units and general partnership units (see Note 11 – Transactions with related parties and affiliates).

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 partners’ 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, 2023 filed on Form 20-F on April 3, 2024 (the “Annual Report”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in Company’s trading performance, management believes that the Company has adequate financial resources, including cash from sale of vessels (see Note 4 – Vessels, net and Note 14 – Subsequent events) 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 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries have announced sanctions against Russia, and may impose wider sanctions and take other actions in the future. To date, no apparent consequences have been identified on the Company’s business. It should be noted that since the Company employs Ukrainian and Russian seafarers, it may face problems in relation to their employment, repatriation, salary payments and be subject to claims in this regard. In addition, the increased attacks in the Red Sea caused ships to avoid the use of the Red Sea and transits of the Suez Canal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is possible that these tensions and activities might eventually have an adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Interest rates have increased significantly as central banks in Europe, United States and other developed countries raise interest rates. The eventual implications of tighter monetary policy, and potentially higher long-term interest rates may drive a higher cost of capital for the Company.

UNAUDITED 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 interim condensed consolidated financial statements include Navios Partners’ wholly owned subsidiaries incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands, Liberia, Malta, Delaware, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, British Virgin Islands, Luxemburg and Belgium from their dates of incorporation or from the date of acquiring control 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’ condensed 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.

A discussion of the Company’s significant accounting policies can be found in Note 2 to the Company’s consolidated financial statements included in the Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these policies in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

(c) Revenue and Expense Recognition:

Revenue from time chartering

Revenues from time chartering and bareboat 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. 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. 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 and bareboat chartering of vessels amounted to $270,261 and $267,672 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Revenue from voyage contracts

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 $38,141 and $23,750 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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

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 under the scope of ASC 842 and is recognized for the applicable period when 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 $10,153 and $18,050 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 semi annual 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. Profit-sharing revenue amounted to $0 and $50 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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:

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Navios Partners’ Annual Report.

	March 31, 2024		December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	223,957	$	240,378
Restricted cash		8,873		8,797

Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	232,830	$	249,175

Restricted cash relates to amounts held in retention accounts in order to service debt and interest payments, as required by certain of the Company’s credit facilities and financial liabilities.

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.

Other investments consist of time deposits with original maturities of greater than three months and less than 12 months. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, other investments amounted to $85,543 and $47,000, respectively.

Balance March 31, 2024	$	639,392		$	(38,654	)	$	600,738

Right-of-use assets under finance leases are calculated at an amount equal to the finance liability, increased with the allocated excess value, the initial direct costs and adjusted for the carrying amount of the straight-line effect of liability as well as the favorable and unfavorable lease terms derived from charter-in agreements. Following the declarations of the Company’s option to extend the charter period for one year for one Kamsarmax vessel and the option to acquire four Kamsarmax vessels, the corresponding right-of-use asset under finance lease was decreased by the aggregate amount of $2,037, upon remeasurement of the finance lease liability, to $179,759 (see Note 6 – Borrowings).

During the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company capitalized certain extraordinary fees and costs related to vessels’ regulatory requirements, including ballast water treatment system installation, exhaust gas cleaning system installation and other improvements, that amounted to $3,851 and $7,189, respectively, and are presented under the caption “Acquisition of/ additions to vessels” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (see Note 11 – Transactions with related parties and affiliates).

At the same date, the Company derecognized the right-of-use asset under finance lease and recognized the vessel at an aggregate cost of $53,232.

On February 5, 2023, Navios Partners took delivery of the Navios Meridian, a 2023-built Kamsarmax vessel of 82,010 dwt, from an unrelated third party, for an acquisition cost of $35,605 (including $1,305 capitalized expenses).

Vessels impairment loss

2023

During the first quarter of 2023, an impairment loss of $601 was recognized in connection with the committed sale of a 2007-built Panamax vessel of 75,511 dwt in May 2023, as the carrying amount of the asset group was not recoverable and exceeded its fair value less costs to sell, as described above. The vessel was subject to an existing time charter with an unrelated charterer and was not immediately available for sale and therefore, did not qualify as an asset held for sale as of March 31, 2023.

Finance Lease Liabilities

On July 29, 2022, Navios Partners took delivery of the Navios Coral, a 2016-built Kamsarmax vessel of 84,904 dwt, for a remaining three-year charter-in agreement. The charter-in provides for purchase options with de-escalating purchase prices. The Company has performed an assessment considering the lease classification criteria under ASC 842 and concluded that the arrangement is a finance lease. Consequently, the Company has recognized a finance lease liability based on the net present value of the remaining charter-in payments including the purchase option to acquire the vessel at the end of the lease period, discounted by the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of approximately 6%. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company declared its option to acquire the vessel and remeasured the finance lease liability. The finance lease liability recognized at the date of remeasurement was decreased by $636. The corresponding right-of-use asset under finance lease was adjusted upon remeasurement of the finance lease liability (see Note 4 – Vessels, net).

Under the ASC 842, the extension of the charter period is considered as a lease modification. Consequently, the Company reallocated the remaining consideration in the contract and remeasured the finance lease liability by using the updated Company’s incremental borrowing rate of approximately 6%. The finance lease liability recognized at the date of modification was increased by $592. The corresponding right-of-use asset under finance lease was adjusted upon remeasurement of the finance lease liability (see Note 4 – Vessels, net). As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding balance was $31,889.

NOTE 8 – REPURCHASES AND ISSUANCE OF UNITS

In July 2022, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized a common unit repurchase program for up to $100,000 of the Company’s common units. Common unit repurchases will be made from time to time for cash in open market transactions at prevailing market prices or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchases under the program will be determined by Navios Partners’ management based upon market conditions and financial and other considerations, including working capital and planned or anticipated growth opportunities. As of March 31, 2024, no repurchases of common units have been made. The program does not require any minimum repurchase or any specific number of common units and may be suspended or reinstated at any time in the Company’s discretion and without notice. The Board of Directors will review the program periodically.

The effect of compensation expense arising from the restricted common units granted in each of December 2019, December 2018 and February 2019, amounted to $0 and $1 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is presented under the caption “General and administrative expenses” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of each of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no restricted common units outstanding that remained unvested.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

The Republic of the Marshall Islands does not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of the Marshall Islands, Malta, Liberia, Cayman Islands, Hong Kong, British Virgin Islands, Panama and Belgium, the countries of the vessel-owning subsidiaries’ incorporation and/or vessels’ registration, the vessel-owning subsidiaries are subject to registration and tonnage taxes, which have been included in vessel 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 on the basis of the applicable licensing regime are subject to tax liability towards the Greek state, which is calculated on the basis of the relevant vessel’s tonnage. A tax credit is recognized for tonnage tax (or similar tax) paid abroad, up to the amount of the tax due in Greece.

The owner, the manager and the bareboat charterer or the financial lessee (where applicable) are liable to pay the tax due to the Greek state. The payment of said tax exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company, the bareboat charterer, the financial lessee (as applicable) and the relevant manager against any tax, duty, charge or contribution payable on income from the exploitation of the foreign flagged vessel outside Greece.

We have elected to be treated and we are currently treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As such, we are not subject to section 1446 as that section only applies to entities that for U.S. federal income tax purposes are characterized as partnerships.

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 – CASH DISTRIBUTIONS AND EARNINGS PER UNIT

The amount of distributions paid by Navios Partners and the decision to make any distribution is determined by the Company’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, Navios Partners’ cash requirements as measured by market opportunities and restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem advisable. There is no guarantee that the Company will pay the quarterly distribution on the common units in any quarter. The Company is prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would cause an event of default, or an event of default exists, under its existing credit facilities.

There are incentive distribution rights held by Navios GP L.L.C., which are analyzed as follows:


		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	%
Third Target Distribution	above $6.5625 up to $7.875		75	%		23	%		2	%
Thereafter	above $7.875		50	%		48	%		2	%

The first 98% of the quarterly distribution is paid to all common unitholders. The incentive distributions rights (held by Navios GP L.L.C.) apply only after a minimum quarterly distribution of $6.0375 per unit.

In January 2023, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended December 31, 2022 of $0.05 per unit. The distribution was paid on February 14, 2023 to all unitholders of common units and general partnership units of record as of February 10, 2023. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution was $1,540.

In February 2024, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended December 31, 2023 of $0.05 per unit. The distribution was paid on February 14, 2024 to all unitholders of common units and general partnership units of record as of February 12, 2024.

In April 2024, the Board of Directors of Navios Partners authorized its quarterly cash distribution for the three month period ended March 31, 2024 of $0.05 per unit. The distribution was paid on May 14, 2024 to all unitholders of common units and general partnership units of record as of May 10, 2024. The aggregate amount of the declared distribution was $1,540.

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 per common unit is determined by dividing net income 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 partnership units on a 98%-2% basis. There were no options or phantom units outstanding during each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

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


	Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2024		Three Month Period Ended March 31, 2023
Net income	$	73,361	$	$99,165
Income attributable to:
Common unitholders	$	71,894	$	97,183
Weighted average units outstanding basic
Common unitholders		30,184,388		30,183,387
Earnings per unit basic:
Common unitholders	$	2.38	$	3.22
Weighted average units outstanding diluted
Common unitholders		30,184,388		30,184,388
Earnings per unit diluted:

Earnings per unit distributed basic:
Common unitholders	$	0.05	$	0.05

Based on management estimates and market conditions, the lease term of the leases 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 applies the respective incremental borrowing rate based on the remaining lease term of the specific lease. Navios Partners’ incremental borrowing rates were approximately 7% for the Navios Libra and the Nave Celeste, 5% for the Navios Amitie and the Navios Star, 6% for the Baghdad, the Erbil and the Navios Venus, and 4% for the Nave Electron.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the operating lease liability amounted to $263,234 and $270,738, respectively, and is presented under the captions “Operating lease liabilities, current portion” and “Operating lease liabilities, net” in the condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Right-of-use assets amounted to $264,255 and $270,969 as at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, and are 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 expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense incurred and paid for the three months period ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $12,046 and $17,333, respectively, and is presented under the caption “Time charter and voyage expenses” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For the three month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the sublease income (net of commissions, if any) for vessels where the Company is a lessee amounted to $16,833 and $20,374, respectively. Sublease income is presented under the caption “Time charter and voyage revenues” in the condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of March 31, 2024, the weighted average useful life of the remaining operating lease terms was 8.8 years.

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, 2024:
