Three month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 increased by $8.4 million or 12.1% to $77.7 million, as compared to $69.3 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was mainly attributable to: (i) the increase in revenue following the acquisition of six vessels since July 2014; and (ii) the profit sharing increase by $9.5 million to $10.0 million recognized in the three month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $0.5 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was partially mitigated by $22.9 million due to the sale of four VLCCs in November 2014 and two VLCCs in June 2015. Available days of the fleet decreased to 3,397 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 3,476 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The Time Charter Equivalent Rate ("TCE Rate") increased to $22,551 for the three month period ended September 30, 2015, from $19,327 for the three month period ended September 30, 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2015 increased by $15.5 million to $55.2 million from $39.7 million in the same period of 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to: (i) a $8.4 million increase in revenue as described above; (ii) a $4.7 million increase in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; (iii) a $2.0 million decrease in management fees; and (iv) a $1.0 million decrease in time charter expenses. This increase was partially mitigated by a $0.6 million increase in other expense, net.

Adjusted net income for the three month period ended September 30, 2015, amounted to $23.9 million, compared to an Adjusted net income of $3.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in Adjusted net income by approximately $20.8 million was mainly due to: (i) an increase of $15.5 million in Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) a decrease of $4.2 million in depreciation and amortization; (iii) an increase of $0.3 million in interest income; and (iv) a $0.7 million decrease in interest expense and finance cost.

Nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014

Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 increased by $44.2 million or 23.0% to $236.7 million, as compared to $192.5 million for the same period of 2014. The increase was mainly attributable to: (i) the increase in revenue following deliveries of 11 vessels from January 2014 until September 30, 2015; and (ii) the profit sharing increase by $23.8 million to $26.2 million recognized in the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to $2.3 million for the same period in 2014. The increase was partially mitigated by $58.6 million due to the sale of five VLCCs in 2014 and two VLCCs in June 2015. Available days of the fleet increased to 10,357 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, as compared to 9,875 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The TCE Rate increased to $22,538 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, from $19,060 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 increased by $53.8 million to $164.4 million from $110.5 million in the same period of 2014. The increase in Adjusted EBITDA was due to: (i) a $44.2 million increase in revenue due to the acquisitions of the vessels described above; (ii) a $11.3 million increase in equity in net earnings of affiliated companies; and (iii) a $1.0 million decrease in time charter expenses. This increase was partially mitigated by: (a) a $1.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses; (b) a $1.2 million increase in other expense, net; and (c) a $0.2 million increase in management fees.

Adjusted net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015, amounted to $66.6 million, compared to Adjusted net income of $4.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. The increase in Adjusted net income by approximately $62.4 million was due to: (i) an increase of $53.8 million in Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) a decrease of $8.1 million in depreciation and amortization; and (iii) a decrease of $0.6 million in direct vessel expenses.

(1) Available days for the fleet represent the total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition's possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with scheduled repairs, drydockings or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be capable of generating revenues.

(2) Operating days: 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: Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Acquisition's 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 a company's efficiency in finding suitable employment for its vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels are off hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs, drydockings or special surveys. 

(4) TCE Rate: Time Charter Equivalent Rate is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period. The TCE Rate is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels of various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA 

EBITDA for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 in this document represents net income plus interest and finance costs plus depreciation and amortization and income taxes.

Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2015 in this document represents, net income plus interest expense and finance cost, plus depreciation and amortization less interest income, unless otherwise stated and excludes certain items as described under "Financial Highlights".

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are a basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and present useful information to investors regarding Navios Acquisition's ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and pay dividends. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are "non-GAAP financial measures" 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 and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
