HIGHLIGHTS — RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Agreement to Acquire Navios Maritime Midstream Partners LP
On October 8, 2018 Navios Maritime Midstream Partners L.P. ("Navios Midstream") NAP and Navios Acquisition announced that they entered into a definitive merger agreement under which Navios Acquisition will acquire all of the publicly held units of Navios Midstream in exchange for shares of Navios Acquisition.

The conflicts committee of the board of directors of Navios Midstream negotiated the transaction on behalf of Navios Midstream and its public unitholders. The transaction was unanimously approved by the Conflicts Committee, the board of directors of Navios Midstream and the board of directors of Navios Acquisition.

The approval and adoption of the merger agreement and the merger requires approval by a majority of the outstanding Navios Midstream common units. Navios Acquisition owns a sufficient number of Navios Midstream common units to approve the merger on behalf of all Navios Midstream unitholders and has agreed to consent to the merger. The closing of the merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including effectiveness of a registration statement on Form F-4 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on October 30, 2018 and the mailing of an information statement to the Navios Midstream unitholders.

Reverse stock split
Navios Acquisition previously announced that its Board of Directors has approved a 1-for-15 reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding shares of common stock. The reverse stock split is subject to stockholder approval, which Navios Acquisition intends to seek at a special meeting of its stockholders scheduled to be held on November 9, 2018.

Quarterly dividend: $0.02 per share
On November 2, 2018, the Board of Directors of Navios Acquisition declared a quarterly cash dividend for the third quarter of 2018 of $0.02 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on December 5, 2018 to stockholders of record as of November 27, 2018. 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.

Stock repurchase program
As of November 5, 2018, Navios Acquisition had repurchased 9,221,255 shares for approximately $6.8 million, under the $25.0 million stock repurchase program, providing an additional return of 6.1% to our stockholders.

Time charter coverage
As of November 5, 2018, our fleet consisted of a total of 37 vessels, of which seven are VLCCs, 26 are product tankers, two are chemical tankers and two are bareboat VLCC chartered-in vessels to be delivered in Q3 2020 and Q4 2020, respectively.

Currently, Navios Acquisition has contracted 99.2% and 32.7% of its available days on a charter-out basis for 2018 and 2019, respectively, which is expected to generate revenues of approximately $160.1 million and $50.1 million for 2018 and 2019, respectively. The average contractual net daily charter-out rate for the 93.6% and the 26.6% of the available days that are contracted on base rate and/or on base rate with profit sharing arrangements is expected to be $13,531 and $14,721 for 2018 and 2019, respectively.

Three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

Revenue for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $12.4 million, or 23.0%, to $41.6 million, as compared to $54.0 million for the same period of 2017. The decrease was mainly attributable to a: (i) decrease in the market rates during the third quarter ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017; and (ii) decrease in revenue of $2.4 million due to the sale of the Nave Galactic to Navios Midstream in March 2018. Available days of the fleet decreased to 3,178 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to 3,215 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2017. The time charter equivalent rate, or TCE Rate, decreased to $12,394 for the three month period ended September 30, 2018, from $16,486 for the three month period ended September 30, 2017.

Net loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 was $23.4 million as compared to $8.1 million for the same period of 2017. The increase in net loss was due to a: (a) $13.7 million decrease in EBITDA; (b) $1.0 million increase in direct vessel expenses; (c) $0.7 million decrease in interest income; and (d) $0.4 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net of deferred finance cost; partially mitigated by a $0.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization.

EBITDA for the three month period ended September 30, 2018 decreased by approximately $13.7 million to $9.6 million, as compared to $23.3 million for the same period of 2017. The decrease in EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $12.4 million decrease in revenue, as described above; (b) $2.5 million increase in time charter expenses mainly due to the increase of the accrued backstop commitment to Navios Midstream and the voyage expenses incurred in the period; and (c) $0.3 million increase in general and administrative expenses due to the stock based compensation; partially mitigated by a: (i) $0.8 million increase in equity /(loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies; (ii) $0.6 million decrease in management fees, due to the sale of the Nave Galactic to Navios Midstream in March 2018, which was partially offset by the amendment to the fees under the Management Agreement; and (iii) $0.2 million decrease in other expense, net.

Nine month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017

Revenue for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 decreased by $47.7 million, or 27.0%, to $129.2 million, as compared to $177.0 million for the same period of 2017. The decrease was mainly attributable to a: (a) decrease in the market rates during the nine month period ended September 30, 2018, as compared to the same period in 2017; and (b) decrease in revenue of $6.5 million mainly due to the sale of the Nave Galactic to Navios Midstream in March 2018. Available days of the fleet decreased from 9,678 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017 to 9,439 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018. The TCE Rate decreased from $17,814 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2017, to $13,287 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018.

Net loss for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 was $69.9 million as compared to $66.9 million for the same period of 2017. The increase was due to a: (a) $2.4 million increase in direct vessel expenses; (b) $1.6 million decrease in interest income; and (c) $0.4 million increase in interest expense and finance cost; partially mitigated by a (i) $0.9 million decrease in depreciation and amortization and (ii) $0.5 million increase in EBITDA.

EBITDA for the nine month period ended September 30, 2018 increased by $0.5 million to $29.1 million, as compared to $28.7 million for the same period of 2017. The increase in EBITDA was mainly due to a: (a) $55.7 million increase in equity /(loss) in net earnings of affiliated companies (which includes $59.1 million of non-cash impairment loss on equity investment in Navios Midstream in the second quarter of 2017); and (b) $1.4 million decrease in management fees, due to the sale of the Nave Galactic to Navios Midstream in March 2018, which was partially offset by the amendment to the fees under the Management Agreement; partially mitigated by a (i) $47.7 million decrease in revenue, as described above; (ii) $6.0 million increase in time charter expenses mainly due to the increase of the accrued backstop commitment to Navios Midstream; (iii) $1.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses; and (iv) $1.0 million increase in other expense, net.

FLEET DATA                
Available days(1)  3,178   3,215   9,439   9,678 
Operating days(2)  3,153   3,205   9,386   9,660

AVERAGE DAILY RESULTS                
Time charter equivalent rate per day(4) $12,394  $16,486  $13,287  $17,814 

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.

Disclosure of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net (loss)/ income and Adjusted (loss)/ income per share (basic) are 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. Adjusted EBITDA in this document represents EBITDA excluding certain items as described under "Financial Highlights". Adjusted net (loss)/ income and Adjusted (loss)/ income per share (basic) represent Net (loss)/ income and (loss)/ income per share (basic), excluding certain items as described under "Financial Highlights". We use Adjusted EBITDA as liquidity measure and reconcile EBITDA and Adjusted 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; and (x) stock- based compensation. Navios Acquisition believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are each 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 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. 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 Acquisition's 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 Acquisition's 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.
