Operating and Financial Review and Prospects

The following is a discussion of the financial condition and results of operations for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 of Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (referred to herein as “we,” “us” or “Navios Acquisition”). 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 Acquisition’s 2018 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

This Report 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 expectations, including with respect to Navios Acquisition’s future dividends, expected cash flow generation and Navios Acquisition’s growth strategy and measures to implement such strategy; including expected vessel acquisitions and entering into further employment contracts. 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 employment contracts. These forward-looking statements are based on the information available to, and the expectations and assumptions deemed reasonable by, Navios Acquisition at the time this filing was made. Although Navios Acquisition 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 Acquisition. 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 dry docking 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 Acquisition operates; risks associated with operations outside the United States; and other factors listed from time to time in the Navios Acquisition’s filings with the SEC, including its annual and interim reports filed on Form 20-F and Form 6-K. Navios Acquisition 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 Acquisition’s expectations with respect thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any statement is based. Navios Acquisition makes no prediction or statement about the performance of its common stock.

Recent Developments

Exercised Our Option for Very Large Crude Carriers (“VLCC”) Newbuilding under Bareboat Lease

In the first quarter of 2019, we exercised our option for a third Japanese VLCC newbuilding under a 12 year bareboat chartered-in agreement with de-escalating purchase options. The vessel is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2021.

Sale and Leaseback Agreements

In March and April 2019, Navios Acquisition entered into sale and lease back agreements for $103.2 million in order to refinance $50.3 million outstanding on the existing facility on three product tankers and to finance two product tankers for which their previous credit facility was fully prepaid in March 2019 in an amount of $32.2 million. The agreements will be repayable in 28 equal consecutive quarterly installments of $2.3 million each, with a repurchase obligation of $39.7 million on the last repayment date. Each of the agreements mature in March and April 2026 and bear interest at LIBOR plus 350 bps per annum.

Sale of Two VLCCs

On March 25, 2019, Navios Acquisition sold the C. Dream, a 2000-built VLCC vessel of 298,570 dwt to an unaffiliated third party for a sale price of $21.8 million. The gain on sale of the vessel amounted to $0.7 million.

In May 2019, following a collision incident, Navios Acquisition sold the Shinyo Ocean, a 2001-built VLCC vessel of 281,395 dwt to an unaffiliated third party for a sale price of $12.5 million. Unrepaired damages plus expenses incurred since the incident covering the fair market value of the vessel are expected to be recovered by insurance (subject to applicable deductibles and other customary limitations).

Dividend Policy

On May 10, 2019, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend in respect of the first quarter of 2019 of $0.30 per share of common stock which will be paid on June 27, 2019 to stockholders of record as of May 29, 2019. The declaration and payment of any further dividends remain subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, Navios Acquisition’s 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.

Equity Transactions

In February 2018, the Board of Directors of Navios Acquisition authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $25.0 million of Navios Acquisition’s common stock, for two years. Stock repurchases are 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 are determined by management based upon market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may be made pursuant to a program adopted under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The program does not require any minimum repurchase or any specific number or amount of shares of common stock and may be suspended or reinstated at any time in Navios Acquisition’s discretion and without notice. The Board of Directors will review the program periodically. Repurchases are subject to restrictions under Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities and indenture. As of June 12, 2019, Navios Acquisition had repurchased 735,251 shares since program was initiated for approximately $7.5 million, under the $25.0 million stock repurchase program.

Fleet

As of June 12, 2019, our fleet consisted of a total of 42 double-hulled tanker vessels, aggregating approximately 5.7 million deadweight tons, or dwt. The fleet includes eleven VLCC tankers (over 200,000 dwt per ship), which transport crude oil, eight Long Range 1 (“LR1”) product tankers (60,000-79,999 dwt per ship), 18 Medium Range 2 (“MR2”) product tankers (30,000-59,999 dwt per ship), two chemical tankers (25,000 dwt per ship), which transport refined petroleum products and bulk liquid chemicals and three bareboat VLCC chartered-in vessels to be delivered in the third and fourth quarter of 2020 and third quarter of 2021. All our vessels are currently chartered-out to quality counterparties, including Dalian Ocean Shipping Co Ltd. (“Cosco Dalian”), affiliates of Navig8 Chemicals Shipping and Trading Co (“Navig8”) and Mansel LTD (“Mansel”), with an average remaining charter period of approximately one year. As of June 12, 2019, we had charters covering 81.8 % of available days in 2019.

Charter Policy and Industry Outlook

Our core fleet currently consists of 42 vessels, of which eleven are VLCCs, 26 are product tankers, two are chemical tankers and three are bareboat VLCC chartered-in vessels to be delivered one in each of the third and fourth quarter of 2020 and third quarter of 2021. All of our vessels are chartered-out to quality counterparties, including Cosco Dalian affiliates of Navig8 and Mansel with an average remaining contract period of approximately one year. Many of our contracts have profit sharing arrangements (see fleet table above). While all of our vessels are currently chartered-out, we intend to deploy any vessels that would become open—not chartered-out—to leading charterers in a mix of long, medium and short-term time charters, depending on the vessels’ positions, seasonality and market outlook. This chartering strategy is intended to allow us to capture increased profits during strong charter markets, while developing relatively stable cash flows from longer-term time charters. We will also seek profit sharing arrangements in our employment contracts, to provide us with potential incremental revenue above the contracted minimum charter rates.

Using Navios Maritime Holdings Inc.’s (“Navios Holdings”) global network of relationships and extensive experience in the maritime transportation industry, coupled with its commercial, financial and operational expertise, we plan to opportunistically grow our fleet through the timely and selective acquisition of high-quality newbuilding or secondhand vessels when we believe those acquisitions will result in attractive returns on invested capital and increased cash flow. We also intend to engage in opportunistic dispositions where we can achieve attractive values for our vessels as we assess the market cycle. We believe our diverse and versatile fleet, combined with the experience and long- standing relationships of Navios Holdings with participants in the maritime transportation industry, position us to identify and take advantage of attractive acquisition opportunities.

Factors Affecting Navios Acquisition’s 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. Other key factors that will be fundamental to our business, future financial condition and results of operations include:

•

the demand for seaborne transportation services;

•

the ability of Navios Holdings’ commercial and chartering operations to successfully employ our vessels at economically attractive rates, particularly as our fleet expands and our charters expire;

•

the effective and efficient technical management of our vessels;

•

Navios Holdings’ ability to satisfy technical, health, safety and compliance standards of major commodity traders; and

•

the strength of and growth in the number of our customer relationships, especially with major commodity traders.

In addition to the factors discussed above, we believe certain specific factors will impact our consolidated results of operations. These factors include:

•

the charter hire earned by our vessels under our charters;

•

our access to capital required to acquire additional vessels and/or to implement our business strategy;

•

our ability to sell vessels at prices we deem satisfactory;

•

our level of debt and the related interest expense and amortization of principal; and

•

the level of any dividend to our stockholders.

Voyage, Time Charter and Pooling Arrangements

Revenues are driven primarily by the number of vessels in the fleet, the number of days during which such vessels operate and the amount of daily charter hire rates that the vessels earn under charters, which, in turn, are affected by a number of factors, including:

•

the duration of the charters;

•

the level of spot market rates at the time of charters;

•

decisions relating to vessel acquisitions and disposals;

•

the amount of time spent positioning vessels;

•

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

•

the age, condition and specifications of the vessels; and

•

the aggregate level of supply and demand in the tanker shipping industry.

Time charters are available for varying periods, ranging from a single trip (spot charter) to long-term which may be many years. In general, a long-term time charter assures the vessel owner of a consistent stream of revenue. Operating the vessel in the spot market affords the owner greater spot market opportunity, which may result in high rates when vessels are in high demand or low rates when vessel availability exceeds demand. 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 the control of management.

The cost to maintain and operate a vessel increases with the age of the vessel. Older vessels are less fuel efficient, cost more to insure and require upgrades from time to time to comply with new regulations. As of June 12, 2019, the average age of Navios Acquisition’s owned fleet is 7.9 years. But, as such fleet ages or if Navios Acquisition expands its fleet by acquiring previously owned and older vessels the cost per vessel would be expected to rise and, assuming all else, including rates, remains constant, vessel profitability would be expected to decrease.

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

Set forth below are selected historical and statistical data for Navios Acquisition for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 that the Company believes may be useful in better understanding the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

AVERAGE DAILY RESULTS

Navios Acquisition believes that the important measures for analyzing trends in its results of operations consist of the following:


(1)		Available days: Available days for the fleet are total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Acquisition’s possession for the relevant period after subtracting off-hire days associated with major repairs, drydocking 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, dry dockings or special surveys.
(4)		TCE Rate: Time charter equivalent rate per day is defined as voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period. The TCE Rate per day is a standard shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels of various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet.

Period-over-Period Comparisons

Revenue: Revenue for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 increased by $31.0 million, or 67.1%, to $77.1 million, as compared to $46.2 million for the same period of 2018. The increase was mainly attributable to an: (i) increase in revenue by $20.3 million due to the acquisition and resulting consolidation of Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. (“Navios Midstream”); and (ii) increase in market rates during the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period of 2018. Available days of the fleet increased to 3,683 days for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to 3,181 days for the three month period ended March 31, 2018, mainly as a result of the merger (the “Merger”) with Navios Midstream effective as of December 13, 2018. The time charter equivalent rate, or TCE Rate, increased to $19,643 for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, from $14,205 for the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

Time charter and voyage expenses: Time charter and voyage expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 decreased by approximately $1.1 million, or 18.2%, to $4.8 million, as compared to $5.8 million for the same period of 2018. The decrease was mainly attributable to a: $4.9 million decrease in the backstop commitment; partially mitigated by a: (i) $3.1 million increase in bunkers consumption and voyage expenses due to spot voyages incurred in the period; and (ii) $0.7 million increase in brokers’ commission.

Direct vessel expenses: Direct vessel expenses, comprised of the amortization of dry dock and special survey costs, of certain vessels of our fleet amounted to $2.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $1.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

Management fees: Management fees amounted to $27.9 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $23.4 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. The increase was due to the acquisition and resulting consolidation of Navios Midstream on December 13, 2018 and the amendment to the fees under our Management Agreement. Please see Related Party Transactions for discussion on the management fees.

General and administrative expenses: Total general and administrative expenses for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 increased by $2.0 million to $5.1 million compared to $3.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018, mainly due to a $1.9 million increase in other professional fees and expenses. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the expenses charged by Navios Holdings for administrative services were $2.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

Depreciation and amortization: Depreciation and amortization amounted to $17.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $14.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. The increase was due to the Merger with Navios Midstream on December 13, 2018. Depreciation of a vessel is calculated using an estimated useful life of 25 years from the date the vessel was originally delivered from the shipyard.

Interest income: Interest income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 increased by $0.3 million to $2.2 million compared to $1.8 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. The increase was attributable to the increase of $0.3 million of the interest income accrued under the revolving loan granted to Navios Europe Inc. (“Navios Europe I”) and Navios Europe (II) Inc. (“Navios Europe II”).

Interest expense and finance cost: Interest expense and finance cost for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 increased by $3.6 million to $22.9 million, as compared to $19.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. The increase was mainly due to the increase of the weighted average interest rate for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 to 7.28% compared to 6.77%, in the same period in 2018. The average outstanding balance of our credit facilities (other than the 2021 Notes) increased to $534.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $440.2 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the outstanding balance under Navios Acquisition’s total borrowings was $1,216.6 million and $1,041.2 million, respectively.

Gain on sale of vessel: The gain on sale of vessel for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 amounted to $0.7 million as compared to $0.03 million for the same period in 2018.

Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies: Equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies increased by $5.1 million to $0.8 million equity for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, as compared to $4.3 million loss for the same period in 2018. The increase mainly resulted from the (a) $5.0 million decrease in loss in net earnings of Navios Midstream recognized in the three month period ended March 31, 2018; and (b) $0.1 million increase in equity in net earnings of Navios Europe II.

Other income: Other income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 was $1.3 million. For the comparative period of 2018 other income was $0.

Other expense: Other expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 was $0.4 million. For the comparative period of 2018 other expense was $0.7 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements, dry docking expenditures, minimum cash balance maintenance as per our credit facility agreements and debt repayment, and other obligations from time to time, while our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and investment capital expenditures and other maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment. Expansion capital expenditures are primarily for the purchase or construction of vessels to the extent the expenditures increase the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet, while maintenance capital expenditures primarily consist of dry docking expenditures and expenditures to replace vessels in order to maintain the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations, long-term borrowings and proceeds from asset sales. As of March 31, 2019, Navios Acquisition’s current assets totaled $135.3 million, while current liabilities totaled $74.1 million, resulting in a positive working capital position of $61.2 million. Navios Acquisition’s cash forecast indicates that it will generate sufficient cash for at least the next 12 months following June 12, 2019 to make the required principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, provide for the normal working capital requirements of the business and remain in a positive working capital position. Generally, our long-term sources of funds derive from cash from operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings. We expect that we will rely upon cash from operations and upon external financing sources, including bank borrowings, to fund acquisitions, expansion and investment capital expenditures and other commitments we have entered into. We cannot assure you that we will be able to secure adequate financing or obtaining additional funds on favorable terms, to meet our liquidity needs.

Navios Acquisition may use funds to repurchase its outstanding capital stock 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 Acquisition deems appropriate and subject to its cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under Navios Acquisition’s debt agreements, and other factors management deems relevant.

In February 2018, the Board of Directors of Navios Acquisition authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $25.0 million of Navios Acquisition’s common stock, for two years. Stock 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 management based upon market conditions and other factors. Repurchases may be made pursuant to a program adopted under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act. The program does not require any minimum repurchase or any specific number or amount of shares of common stock and may be suspended or reinstated at any time in Navios Acquisition’s discretion and without notice. The Board of Directors will review the program periodically. Repurchases are subject to restrictions under Navios Acquisition’s credit facilities and indenture. As of June 12, 2019, Navios Acquisition had repurchased 735,251 shares since program was initiated for approximately $7.5 million, under the $25.0 million stock repurchase program.

Cash provided by/ (used in) operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2018:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $21.3 million to $9.9 million inflow for the period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to $11.4 million outflow for the period ended March 31, 2018. The increase is analyzed as follows:

The net income for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 was $0.9 million compared to net loss of $24.5 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018. In determining net cash provided by operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, the net income was adjusted for the effect of depreciation and amortization of $17.7 million, $2.3 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs, $1.0 million for amortization and write-off of deferred finance fees and bond premium, $0.8 million for equity in net earnings of affiliated companies, net of dividends received, $0.7 million for gain on sale of vessels, and $0.2 million for stock based compensation.

The net cash inflow resulting from the change in operating assets, liabilities and payments for drydock and special survey costs of $10.7 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 mainly resulted from a $13.2 million increase in accrued expenses, a $4.2 million decrease in accounts receivable, a $3.9 million decrease in prepaid expenses, a $2.0 million decrease in the balance due from related parties, long-term, and a $0.7 million increase in deferred revenue. These were partially offset by an $18.2 million increase in the balance due from related parties, short-term, a $12.0 million decrease in the balance due to related parties, short-term, a $4.4 million decrease in accounts payable, and a $0.1 million payment for drydock and special survey costs.

In determining net cash used in operating activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2018, the net loss was adjusted for the effect of depreciation and amortization of $14.2 million, $4.3 million for loss in net earnings of affiliated companies, net of dividends received, $1.5 million for the amortization of drydock and special survey costs, $1.1 million for amortization and write-off of deferred finance fees and bond premium, $0.3 million for stock based compensation, and $0.03 million for gain on sale of vessel.

The net cash outflow resulting from the change in operating assets, liabilities and payments for drydock and special survey costs of $8.3 million for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 mainly resulted from a $13.0 million decrease in the balance due to related parties, short-term, a $3.9 million payment for drydock and special survey costs, a $1.6 million increase in the balance due from related parties, short-term, a $1.6 million decrease in deferred revenue, and a $1.2 million increase in prepaid expenses. These were partially offset by a $12.0 million increase in accrued expenses, a $0.5 million decrease in other long term assets and a $0.3 million decrease in accounts receivable.

Cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2018:

Net cash provided by investing activities decreased by $32.4 million to $17.5 million inflow for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 from $49.8 million inflow for the three month period ended March 31, 2018.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019, resulted from $21.4 million net proceeds from sale of vessel; partially mitigated by: (i) $2.0 million from loans to affiliates; and (ii) $1.9 million from vessels additions.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2018, resulted from: (i) $44.5 million net proceeds from sale of vessel; and (ii) $5.3 million from dividends received from affiliates.

Cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three month period ended March 31, 2018:

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $37.7 million to $6.0 million at March 31, 2019 from $43.7 million at March 31, 2018.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 resulted from: (i) $40.6 million of loan repayments; (ii) $4.1 million of dividends paid; and (iii) $0.4 million for acquisition of treasury stock; and was partially mitigated by $39.1 million in loan proceeds, net of deferred finance fees.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 resulted from: (i) $36.5 million of loan repayments; (ii) $4.1 million acquisition of treasury stock; and (iii) $3.1 million of dividends paid.

EBITDA is non-U.S. GAAP financial measures and should not be used in isolation or as substitution for Navios Acquisition’s results calculated in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”).

EBITDA represents net (loss)/income before interest and finance costs, before depreciation and amortization and before income taxes. We use EBITDA as liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA to net cash provided by/ (used in) operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA 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 costs and other related expenses; (v) equity/ (loss) in net earnings of affiliates, net of dividends received; (vi) payments for dry dock and special survey costs; (vii) impairment charges; (viii) gain on sale of assets; (ix) gain/ (loss) on debt repayment; (x) stock- based compensation; and (xi) transaction costs. Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA is the 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. Navios Acquisition 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 Acquisition’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. Because of these limitations, EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Acquisition’s performance. Furthermore, our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.

EBITDA for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 increased by $32.9 million to $41.7 million, as compared to $8.8 million for the same period of 2018. The increase in EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $31.0 million increase in revenue; (b) $5.1 million increase in equity /(loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies; (c) $1.3 million increase in other income; (d) $1.1 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses, as described above; (e) $0.6 million gain on sale of vessels; and (f) $0.3 million decrease in other expense; partially mitigated by a: (i) $4.5 million increase in management fees due to the acquisition of Navios Midstream on December 13, 2018 and to the amendment of the fees under the Management Agreement; and (ii) $2.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses mainly due to expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Navios Midstream on December 13, 2018.

In addition on March 4, 2019, the Navios Midstream acquired from Navios Acquisition the Nave Andromeda and the Nave Estella and on March 20, 2019, sold them back to Navios Acquisition.

The loan facilities include, among other things, compliance with loan to value ratios and certain financial covenants: (i) minimum liquidity higher of $40.0 million or $1.0 million per vessel; (ii) net worth ranging from $50.0 million to $135.0 million; and (iii) total liabilities divided by total assets, adjusted for market values to be generally lower than 75% or 80% and for certain facilities, as amended for a specific period of time until December 31, 2019 to be ranging from a maximum of 80% to 85%. It is an event of default under the credit facilities if such covenants are not complied with, including the loan to value ratios for which the Company may provide sufficient additional security to prevent such an event.

The Term Loan B requires maintenance of a loan to value ratio of no greater than 0.85 to 1.0 and a minimum interest coverage ratio of at least 3.75 to 1.0, and other restrictive covenants including restrictions on indebtedness, liens, acquisitions and investments, restricted payments and dispositions.

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 in the statements of operations.

Interest Rate Risk

As of March 31, 2019, Navios Acquisition had a total of $1,216.6 million in long-term and short-term indebtedness. Borrowings under our credit facilities bear interest at rates based on a premium over LIBOR in U.S dollars except for the interest rate on the Existing Notes and the Additional Notes which is fixed. Therefore, we are exposed to the risk that our interest expense may increase if interest rates rise. For the three month period ended March 31, 2019, we paid interest on our outstanding debt at a weighted average interest rate of 7.22%. A 1% increase in LIBOR would have increased our interest expense for the three month period ended March 31, 2019 by $1.3 million.

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. Our major customers during the year ended December 31, 2018 and the three month period ended March 31, 2019 and were: Navig8 and Mansel. For the three month period ended March 31, 2019, Navig8, Cosco Dalian and Mansel accounted for 35.9%, 11.4% and 10.4%, respectively, of Navios Acquisition’s revenue. For the year ended December 31, 2018, Navig8 and Mansel accounted for 39.2% and 12.1%, respectively, of Navios Acquisition’s revenue.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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 Acquisition does maintain cash deposits and equivalents in excess of government-provided insurance limits. Navios Acquisition also minimizes exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Inflation

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework-Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement”. This update modifies the disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and earlier adoption is permitted.

In October 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): “Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2018-17”). ASU 2018-17 provides that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. This is consistent with how indirect interests held through related parties under common control are considered for determining whether a reporting entity must consolidate a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”). For Public business entities the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted.

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This standard requires entities to measure all expected credit losses of financial assets held at a reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts in order to record credit losses in a more timely matter. ASU 2016-13 also amends the accounting for credit losses on available-for-sale debt securities and purchased financial assets with credit deterioration. The standard is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, although early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. In November 2018, FASB issued ASU 2018-19 “Codification Improvements to topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”. The amendments in this update clarify that operating lease receivables are not within the scope of ASC 326-20 and should instead be accounted for under the new leasing standard, ASC 842. In addition, in April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825 Financial Instruments ”, the amendments of which clarify the modification of accounting for available for sale debt securities excluding applicable accrued interest, which must be individually assessed for credit losses when fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. The effective date and transition requirements for the amendments in this Update are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in Update 2016-13, as amended by this Update.

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the aforementioned accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Navios Acquisition’s interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires Navios Acquisition to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on the best assumptions, judgments and opinions of management. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are those that reflect significant judgments or uncertainties, and potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. Other than as described below, all significant accounting policies are as described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on April 19, 2019.

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Navios Maritime Acquisition Corporation (“Navios Acquisition” or the “Company”) (NYSE: NNA) owns a large fleet of modern crude oil, refined petroleum product and chemical tankers providing world-wide marine transportation services. The Company’s strategy is to charter its vessels to international oil companies, refiners and large vessel operators under long, medium and short-term contracts. The Company is committed to providing quality transportation services and developing and maintaining long-term relationships with its customers. The operations of Navios Acquisition are managed by a subsidiary of Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”).

Navios Acquisition was incorporated in the Republic of the Marshall Islands on March 14, 2008. On July 1, 2008, Navios Acquisition completed its initial public offering (“IPO”). On May 28, 2010, Navios Acquisition consummated the vessel acquisition which constituted its initial business combination. Following such transaction, Navios Acquisition commenced its operations as an operating company.

In November 2014, Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. (“Navios Midstream”), a company formed as a subsidiary of Navios Acquisition, completed an IPO of its units in the United States and was listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NAP”. (Refer to Note 7, “Investment in affiliates”). Navios Midstream was a publicly traded master limited partnership, through December 13, 2018, which owned, operated and acquired crude oil tankers, refined petroleum product tankers, chemical tankers and liquefied petroleum gas tankers under long-term employment contracts.

On November 16, 2017, in accordance with the terms of the Navios Midstream Partnership Agreement all of the issued and outstanding 9,342,692 subordinated units of Navios Midstream converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. Following their conversion into common units, these units had the same distribution rights as all other common units.

On December 13, 2018, the Company completed the merger (the “Merger”) contemplated by the previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger, (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of October 7, 2018, by and among Navios Acquisition, its direct wholly-owned subsidiary NMA Sub LLC (“Merger Sub”), Navios Midstream and Navios Midstream Partners GP LLC (the “NAP General Partner”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Navios Midstream, with Navios Midstream surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Navios Acquisition.

Under the terms of the transaction, Navios Acquisition acquired all of the outstanding publicly held common units of Navios Midstream though the issuance of 3,683,284 newly issued shares of Navios Acquisition common stock in exchange for the publicly held common units of Navios Midstream at an exchange ratio of 0.42 shares of Navios Acquisition for each Navios Midstream common unit. Following the Merger the results of operations of Navios Midstream are consolidated under Navios Acquisition.

As of March 31, 2019, Navios Acquisition owned a 100% limited partner interest in Navios Midstream.

As of March 31, 2019, Navios Holdings had 35.4% of the voting power and 36.0% of the economic interest in Navios Acquisition.

As of March 31, 2019, Navios Acquisition had outstanding: 13,728,371 shares of common stock.

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 Acquisition’s unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statement of changes in equity, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“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 Acquisition’s 2018 Annual Report filed on Form 20-F with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

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

Reverse Stock Split:

On November 9, 2018, the Stockholders of Navios Acquisition approved a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of all outstanding common stock shares of the Company which was effected on November 14, 2018. The effect of the reverse stock split was to combine each 15 shares of outstanding common stock into one new share, with no change in authorized shares or par value per share, and to reduce the number of common stock shares outstanding from approximately 142.9 million shares to approximately 9.5 million shares. No fractional shares of common stock were issued in connection with the reverse stock split. Stockholders who would otherwise hold fractional shares of the Company’s common stock received a cash payment in lieu thereof. All issued and outstanding shares of common stock, conversion terms of preferred stock, options to purchase common stock and per share amounts contained in the financial statements, in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 4C, have been retroactively adjusted to reflect the reverse split for all periods presented.

(ab) Recent accounting pronouncements

The Company is currently assessing the impact of the aforementioned accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(b) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Navios Acquisition, a Marshall Islands corporation, and its majority owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements.

The Company also consolidates entities that are determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) as defined in the accounting guidance, if it determines that it is the primary beneficiary. A variable interest entity is defined as a legal entity where either (a) 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, or (b) the equity holders have not provided sufficient equity investment to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, or (c) 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.

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

Based on internal forecasts and projections that take into account reasonably possible changes in trading performance, management believes that the Company has adequate financial resources to continue in operation and meet its financial commitments, including but not limited to capital expenditures and debt service obligations, for a period of at least twelve months from the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Company continues to adopt the going concern basis in preparing its financial statements.

(c) Equity method investments: Affiliates are entities over which the Company generally has between 20% and 50% of the voting rights, or over which the Company has significant influence, but it does not exercise control. Investments in these entities are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Company records an investment in the stock of an affiliate at cost, and adjusts the carrying amount for its share of the earnings or losses of the affiliate subsequent to the date of investment and reports the recognized earnings or losses in income. Dividends received from an affiliate reduce the carrying amount of the investment. The Company recognizes gains and losses in earnings for the issuance of shares by its affiliates, provided that the issuance of such shares qualifies as a sale of such shares. When the Company’s share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.

Navios Acquisition evaluates its equity method investments, for other than temporary impairment, on a quarterly basis. Consideration is given to (1) the length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than the carrying value, (2) the financial condition and near-term prospects and (3) the intent and ability of the Company to retain its investments for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in fair value.

(d) Subsidiaries: Subsidiaries are those entities in which the Company has an interest of more than one half of the voting rights and/or otherwise has power to govern the financial and operating policies. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for the acquisition of subsidiaries if deemed to be a business combination. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets given up, shares issued or liabilities undertaken at the date of acquisition. The excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill.

(e) Revenue and Expense Recognition:

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

The Company’s contract revenues from time chartering and pooling arrangements are governed by ASU 2016-02 “Leases”. Upon adoption of ASC 606 and ASC 842, the timing and recognition of earnings from the pool arrangements and time charter contracts to which the Company is party did not change from previous practice. The Company has determined to recognize lease revenue as a combined single lease component for all time charters (operating leases) as the related lease component and non lease component 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. The Company early adopted the Standard during 2018. As a result of the adoption of these standards, there was no effect on the Company’s opening retained earnings, unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets and unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue from time chartering

Revenues from time chartering of vessels are accounted for as operating leases and are thus recognized on a straight-line basis as the average 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. Under time charters, operating costs such as for crews, maintenance and insurance are typically paid by the owner of the vessel. Revenues from time chartering of vessels amounted to $49,684 and $32,712 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The majority of revenue from time chartering is usually collected in advance.

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 are determined by the margins awarded to each vessel in the pool based on the vessel’s age, design and other performance characteristics. Revenue under pooling arrangements is accounted for as variable rate operating leases on the accrual basis and is recognized in the period in which the variability is resolved. 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. The allocation of such net revenue may be subject to future adjustments by

F-10

NAVIOS MARITIME ACQUISITION CORPORATION

UNAUDITED CONDENSED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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

the pool however, such changes are not expected to be material. Revenue for vessels operating in pooling arrangements amounted to $18,986 and $12,990 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The majority of revenue from pooling arrangements is usually collected through the month they are incurred.

Revenue from voyage contracts

The Company’s revenues earned under voyage contracts (revenues for the transportation of cargo) were previously recognized ratably over the estimated relative transit time of each voyage. A voyage was deemed to commence when a vessel was available for loading and was deemed to end upon the completion of the discharge of the current cargo. Under a voyage charter, a vessel is provided for the transportation of specific goods between specific ports in return for payment of an agreed upon freight per ton of cargo. Upon adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognizes revenue ratably from port of loading to when the charterer’s cargo is discharged as well as defer costs that meet the definition of “costs to fulfill a contract” and relate directly to the contract. Revenues earned under voyage contracts amounted to $6,136 and $0 for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Capitalized costs as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 related to costs to fulfill the contract amounted to $0 and $505, respectively, and are included under caption “Prepaid expenses and other current assets”. Accounts receivable, net, as of March 31, 2019 that related to voyage contracts was $5,146 (December 31, 2018: $7,269). The majority of revenue from voyage contracts is usually collected after the discharging takes place.

Revenue from profit sharing

Profit-sharing revenues are calculated at an agreed percentage of the excess of the charterer’s average daily income (calculated on a quarterly or half-yearly basis) over an agreed amount and accounted for on an accrual basis based on provisional amounts and for those contracts that provisional accruals cannot be made due to the nature of the profit share elements, these are accounted for on the actual cash settlement. Profit sharing for the three month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 amounted to $2,730 and $448, 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.

Options to extend or terminate a lease

The Company’s vessels have the following options to extent or renew their charters:


Vessel		Option
Nave Orion		Charterer’s option to extend the charter for one year at $15,159 net per day.

Nave Pulsar		Charterer’s option to extend the charter for one year at $16,590 net per day plus ice-transit premium.

Nave Dorado		Charterer’s option to extend the charter for six months at $13,331 net per day.

Nave Estella		Charterer’s option to extend the charter for one year at $17,036 net per day.

TBN		Charterer’s option to extend the bareboat charter for five years at $29,751 net per day.

NOTE 11: FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.

Restricted Cash: The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for interest bearing deposits approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.

Due from related parties, long-term: The carrying amount of due from related parties, long-term reported in the balance sheet approximates its fair value.

Other long-term debt, net of deferred finance costs: As a result of the adoption of ASU 2015-03, the book value has been adjusted to reflect the net presentation of deferred financing costs. The outstanding balance of the floating rate loans continues to approximate its fair value, excluding the effect of any deferred finance costs.

Ship Mortgage Notes and premiums: The fair value of the 2021 Notes, which has a fixed rate, was determined based on quoted market prices, as indicated in the table below.

Fair Value Measurements

The estimated fair value of our financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis, categorized based upon the fair value hierarchy, is as follows:

Level I: Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that we have the ability to access. Valuation of these items does not entail a significant amount of judgment.

Level II: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level I that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level III: Inputs that are unobservable. The Company did not use any Level III inputs as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Potential common shares of 630,061, for the three month period ended March 31, 2018 (which includes Series C Convertible Preferred Stock and restricted shares), have an anti-dilutive effect (i.e., those that increase earnings per share or decrease loss per share) and are therefore excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share.

NOTE 17: INCOME TAXES

Marshall Islands, Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Hong Kong, do not impose a tax on international shipping income. Under the laws of these countries, the countries of incorporation of the Company and its subsidiaries and /or vessels’ registration, the companies are subject to registration and tonnage taxes which have been included in the daily management fee.

In accordance with the currently applicable Greek law, foreign flagged vessels that are managed by Greek or foreign ship management companies having established an office in Greece are subject to duties towards the Greek state which are calculated on the basis of the relevant vessels’ tonnage. The payment of said duties exhausts the tax liability of the foreign ship owning company and the relevant manager against any tax, duty, charge or contribution payable on income from the exploitation of the foreign flagged vessel. In case that tonnage tax and/or similar taxes/duties are paid to the vessel’s flag state, these are deducted from the amount of the duty to be paid in Greece. The amount included in Navios Acquisition’s statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and 2018 related to the Greek Tonnage tax was $166 and $416, respectively.

Pursuant to Section 883 of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States (the “Code”), 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 Navios Acquisition’s ship-operating subsidiaries satisfy these initial criteria. In addition, these companies must meet an ownership test. Subject to proposed regulations becoming finalized in their current form, the management of Navios Acquisition believes by virtue of a special rule applicable to situations where the ship operating companies are beneficially owned by a publicly traded company like Navios Acquisition, the second criterion can also be satisfied based on the trading volume and ownership of the Company’s shares, but no assurance can be given that this will remain so in the future.
