Recent Developments

Management Succession for Navios Logistics

George Achniotis, Chief Financial Officer of Navios Holdings, has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Navios Logistics. Other changes on the executive team include the promotions of Ioannis Karyotis as Chief Operating Officer, Enrique Ferrando as Chief Financial Officer and Mariana Rebolo as Chief Risk Officer as well as changes in the commercial and business development teams.

Overview

General

Navios Logistics was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on December 17, 2007. We believe we are one of the largest infrastructure and logistics companies in the Hidrovia region river system, the main navigable river system in the region (the “Hidrovia region”), and on the cabotage trades along the southeastern coast of South America. We serve our customers in the Hidrovia region through our three existing port storage and transfer facilities (the “Port Terminal Business”). The Port Terminal Business comprises our grain port terminal (the “Grain Port Terminal”), our iron-ore port terminal (the “Iron Ore Port Terminal”), and our liquid port terminal (the “Liquid Port Terminal”). We complement these three Port Terminals with a diverse fleet of 271 barges and 30 pushboats that operate in our barge business (the “Barge Business”), and seven vessels comprising five tankers, one bunker vessel, and one river and estuary product tanker, all of which operate in our cabotage business (the “Cabotage Business”). We provide transportation for dry cargo (cereals, cotton pellets, soybeans, wheat, limestone (clinker), mineral iron, and rolling stones), liquid cargo (hydrocarbons such as crude oil, gas oil, naphtha, fuel oil and vegetable oils) and liquefied cargo (liquefied petroleum gas or “LPG”).

Ports

We own three port-storage and transfer facilities: our Grain Port Terminal, which supports agricultural and forest-related exports; our Iron Ore Port Terminal, which supports mineral-related exports; and our Liquid Port Terminal, which provides tank storage for refined petroleum products. The Grain Port Terminal and the Iron Port Terminal are located in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay and the Liquid Port Terminal is located in San Antonio, Paraguay. Our port facilities in Nueva Palmira have a total static grain-storage capacity of 460,000 metric tons, and a mineral-ore-stockpile capacity of 876,000 tons. Our port facility in San Antonio has a total static storage capacity of 65,660 cubic meters. Our Grain Port Terminal, together with the Iron Ore Terminal, may be collectively referred to in this report as our “Dry Port Terminals.”

Fleet

Our current core fleet consists of a total of 308 owned vessels, barges and pushboats.

The following is the current core fleet as of December 5, 2022:

On October 24, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the vessel Malva H (“Malva H”). For additional information on the sale of Malva H, please see Note 5 “Tangible fixed assets and assets under construction” included elsewhere in this report.

Chartering Arrangements

We continually monitor developments in the shipping industry and make decisions based on an individual vessel and segment basis, as well as on our view of overall market conditions, in order to implement our overall business strategy. In the Barge Business, we typically operate under a mix of time charters and contracts of affreightment (“CoAs”) having one-to five-year terms (some of which have minimum guaranteed volumes) and spot contracts. In the Cabotage Business, we typically operate under time charters with terms in excess of one year. Some of our charters provide fixed pricing, minimum volume requirements, and adjustment formulas for labor cost and fuel price.

Factors Affecting Navios Logistics’ Results of Operations

For further discussion on factors affecting our results of operations, see “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors” included in the 2021 Form 20-F. For information regarding governmental, economic, fiscal, monetary or political policies that could materially affect our operations, see “Item 3. Key Information—D. Risk Factors— Risks Relating to the Countries in which we Operate—Risks Relating to Argentina.” “—Risks Relating to Uruguayan Free Zone Regulation” and “—Other Risks Relating to the Countries in which We Operate” in the 2021 Form 20-F.

Contract Rates

The shipping and logistics industry have been highly volatile in the recent past. In order to maximize the utilization of our fleet and storage capacity, we must be able to renew the contracts that utilize our fleet and ports upon the expiration or termination of current contracts. This ability depends mainly upon economic conditions in the economic sectors in which the vessels, barges and pushboats operate, changes in the supply and demand for vessels, barges and pushboats and changes in the supply and demand for the transshipment and storage of commodities.

Weather Conditions

In our Barge Business, we transport cargoes along the Paraguay and Parana Rivers from Puerto Caceres (Brazil) to Nueva Palmira (Uruguay) (the “Hidrovia Waterway”). Thus, changes adversely affecting the region, such as low water levels, could reduce or limit our ability to transport cargo effectively along the Hidrovia Waterway. Droughts and other adverse weather conditions, including any possible effects of climate change, could result in a decline in production of the agricultural products Navios Logistics transports, stores, and transships and this could result in a reduction in demand for our port and transportation services. For example, in 2021, throughput of our Grain Port Terminal was affected by lower Uruguayan exports due to reduced Uruguayan soybean production and lower transshipment of grains from Paraguay and Bolivia resulting from a prolonged period of unusually warm weather and a drought in southern Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina. These weather conditions resulted in water levels in the Paraná River dropping to their lowest levels in decades, which also adversely affected our Barge Business.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Our operating results, which are reported in U.S. dollars, may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Uruguayan pesos, Argentine peso, Brazilian real and Paraguayan guarani. We use the U.S. dollar as our functional and reporting currency. Therefore, revenue and expense accounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the date of each transaction. The balance sheets of our foreign operations are translated using the exchange rate at the balance sheet date except for property and equipment and equity, which are translated at historical rates.

Our subsidiaries in Uruguay, Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay transact their operations in either U.S. dollars or Uruguayan pesos, Argentine peso, Brazilian reais and Paraguayan guaranies, respectively; however, the subsidiaries’ primary cash flows are recorded in U.S. dollars. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency 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 statement of profit/(loss).

Inflation and Fuel Price Increases

The impact of inflation on prices in the South American countries in which we operate and the effects of the current war in Ukraine may not be fully neutralized by equivalent adjustments in the rate of exchange between the local currencies and the U.S. dollar. Specifically, for our Barge and Cabotage Businesses, we negotiated, and will continue to negotiate, fuel price adjustment clauses; however, in some cases, prices that we pay for fuel are temporarily not aligned with the adjustments that we obtain under our freight contracts.

Seasonality

Certain of our businesses have seasonality aspects, and seasonality affects the results of our operations and revenues, particularly in the first and last quarters of each year. With respect to the Dry Port Terminals operations in Uruguay, the high season is mainly from April to September, linked with the South American harvest and the arrival of barges down the river. The high season for the Barge Business is the period between February and July as a result of the South American harvest and higher river levels. During the South American late spring and summer, mainly from November to January, the low level of water in the northern Hidrovia Waterway could adversely affect our operations and volumes transported to the extent that water levels are not high enough to accommodate the draft of a heavily laden vessel. In that case, a vessel may be only partially loaded, generating lower revenue under agreements where revenue is based on volume of cargo loaded. Depending on water levels, such vessels could be prevented entirely from loading and navigating. In addition, low water levels create difficult navigation conditions, causing voyages to last longer and to incur increased voyage expenses. Such circumstances reduce the effective available carrying capacity of the vessel for the year. Our Liquid Port Terminal and our Cabotage Business are not significantly affected by seasonality as the operations of the Liquid Port Terminal and Cabotage Business are primarily linked to refined petroleum products, and not really affected by water levels.

Statement of Operations Breakdown by Segments

We report our operations based on three reportable segments: Port Terminal Business, Cabotage Business and Barge Business. The Port Terminal Business segment includes the operating results of our Dry Port Terminals and the Liquid Port Terminal operations. Our Dry Port Terminals comprise our Grain Port Terminal and our Iron Ore Port Terminal, each of which is located in an international tax-free trade zone in the port of Nueva Palmira, Uruguay, at the convergence of the Parana and Uruguay rivers. Our Liquid Port Terminal is an up-river port terminal with tank storage for refined petroleum products, and oil and gas, located in San Antonio, Paraguay, approximately 17 miles by river from the capital, Asunción.

Time Charter, Voyage and Port Terminal Revenues: For the three month period ended September 30, 2022, Navios Logistics’ time charter, voyage and port terminal revenues increased by $15.7 million, or 26.9%, to $74.0 million, as compared to $58.3 million for the same period during 2021. Revenue from the Port Terminal Business increased by $7.5 million, or 29.5%, to $32.9 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $25.4 million for the same period during 2021. The increase was attributable to higher volumes transshipped in the Grain Port Terminal mainly due to increased Uruguayan soybean production and exports, and higher tariffs and volumes transshipped in the Iron Ore Port Terminal. Revenue from the Cabotage Business increased by $5.5 million, or 52.4%, to $16.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $10.5 million for the same period during 2021. The increase was mainly attributable to more operating days in the three month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to the same period during 2021. Revenue from the Barge Business increased by $2.7 million, or 12.0%, to $25.1 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $22.4 million for the same period during 2021, mainly due to a $3.5 million increase in CoA/voyage revenues to $23.7 million, as compared to $20.1 million for the same period during 2021, partially mitigated by a $0.9 million decrease in time charter revenues.

Sales of Products- Liquid Port Terminal: For the three month period ended September 30, 2022, Navios Logistics’ sales of products decreased by $4.9 million or 97.7% to $0.1 million, as compared to $5.0 million for the same period during 2021. This decrease was mainly attributable to the decrease in the Paraguayan Liquid Port Terminal’s volumes of products sold.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Reconciliation to Profit/(Loss)

EBITDA represents profit/(loss) before finance income, finance costs, depreciation and amortization and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA before loss from mark to market and disposal of financial asset and impairment loss. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are presented because they are used by certain investors to measure a company’s operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are “non-IFRS financial measures” and should not be considered substitutes for profit, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with IFRS or as a measure of profitability or liquidity. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are frequently used as a measure of operating performance, the definitions of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; (ii) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the amounts necessary to service interest on our debt and other financing arrangements; and (iii) 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, among others, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of our performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our capital requirements with cash flows from operations, equity contributions from stockholders, borrowings under our credit facilities and issuances of debt securities. Our main uses of funds have been capital expenditures for the acquisition of new vessels, new construction and upgrades at the Port Terminals, expenditures incurred in connection with ensuring that our owned vessels comply with international and regulatory standards, repayments of debt and payments of dividends. We may also use funds to repurchase our outstanding 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 we deem appropriate and subject to our cash requirements for other purposes, compliance with the covenants under our debt agreements, and other factors management deems relevant. In addition, we regularly review opportunities for acquisitions of businesses and additional vessels, development of new facilities and infrastructure, joint ventures and other corporate transactions that may be material to us. In connection with any such transactions, we may need to raise significant amounts of capital, including debt. We do not have any material contractual arrangements for such transactions at this time. See “— Working Capital”, “— Capital Expenditures” and “— Interest-bearing loans and borrowings” included elsewhere in this report for further discussion of our working capital position.

The following table presents cash flow information derived from the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows of Navios Logistics for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2021:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $16.1 million to $30.3 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $14.2 million for the same period during 2021.

In determining net cash from operating activities, profit is adjusted for the effect of certain non-cash items including depreciation and amortization, which are analyzed in detail in our unaudited condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the Nine Month Period Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, included elsewhere in this report.

Profit is adjusted for changes in working capital in order to determine net cash provided by operating activities.

The positive change in working capital of $0.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 resulted from a $3.1 million decrease in trade receivables and contract assets and a $0.1 million decrease in inventories, partially mitigated by a $1.8 million decrease in trade and other payables and contract liabilities, and a $0.9 million increase in prepayments and other assets.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $6.6 million to $9.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, from $16.3 million for the same period during 2021.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 was mainly the result of (i) $9.3 million in payments for the purchase of tangible assets, including payments for drydock and special surveys, (ii) $0.3 million in payments for the construction of a new stockpile in our Iron Ore Port Terminal and (iii) $0.1 million in payments for the development of our port operations in Port Murtinho, Brazil.

Cash used in investing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021 comprised payments of (i) $17.0 million for the acquisition of three pushboats and 18 liquid barges, (ii) $5.9 million for the purchase of tangible assets, (iii) $3.1 million for the construction of a crane, (iv) $1.2 million for the construction of our six new liquid barges, (v) $0.2 million for the construction of our two new tanks and (vi) $0.1 million for the development of our port operations in Port Murtinho, Brazil. These payments were partially mitigated by receipt of (i) $7.5 million from the repayment by Navios Holdings of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement and (ii) $3.7 million from the disposal of shares (related party).

Cash used in financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2021:

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $40.5 million to $0.4 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, as compared to $40.8 million cash used in financing activities for the same period during 2021.

Cash used in financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 was due to receipt of $37.0 million in proceeds from long term debt, partially mitigated by payments of (i) $28.7 million in connection with the Company’s outstanding indebtedness, (ii) $ 5.0 million in relation to the Promissory Note (as defined herein), (iii) $3.3 million for the repayment of the Notes Payable (as defined herein) and (iv) $0.4 million for the principal portion of our lease liabilities.

Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings

Senior Notes

2025 Notes

On July 8, 2020, Navios Logistics and its wholly-owned subsidiary Navios Logistics Finance (US) Inc. (“Logistics Finance” and, together with Navios Logistics, the “Co-Issuers”) issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2025 (“the 2025 Notes”), at a fixed rate per annum of 10.75%. The net proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Notes were used to satisfy and discharge the indenture governing the notes issued on April 22, 2014, and due on May 1, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), to repay all amounts outstanding under the term loan B facility issued on November 3, 2017 (the “Term Loan B Facility”) and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the offering, with the balance used for general corporate purposes.

The 2025 Co-Issuers have the option to redeem the 2025 Notes in whole or in part, at any time on or after August 1, 2022, at a fixed price of 108.063% of the principal amount, which declines to 102.688% on August 1, 2023 and to par on August 1, 2024. The Co-Issuers may also redeem all, but not less than all, of the 2025 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon certain changes in law that would trigger the payment of withholding taxes. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the Co-Issuers may be required to offer to purchase 2025 Notes from holders at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The 2025 Notes are senior secured obligations of the Co-Issuers and rank equal in right of payment to all of their existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of their future subordinated indebtedness. The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than Logistics Finance. The 2025 Notes are secured by: (i) first priority ship mortgages on four tanker vessels servicing the Company’s Cabotage Business (the (1) Elena H, (2) Makenita H, (3) Sara H and (4) He Man H) owned by certain subsidiary guarantors (such guarantors, the “Mortgaged Vessel Guarantors”) and related assignments of earnings and insurance, together with a first priority lien on the capital stock of each Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor; and (ii) an assignment by way of security of the Vale port contract (collectively, the “Collateral”). The 2025 Notes are effectively senior to all existing and future obligations of the subsidiary guarantors that own Collateral to the extent of the value of the Collateral, but effectively junior to any existing and future secured obligations of the Co-Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors that are secured by assets other than the Collateral, to the extent of the value of any assets securing such other obligations.

Working Capital Position

In considering whether it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, management has reviewed the Company’s future cash requirements, covenant compliance and earnings projections. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s current assets totaled $111.3 million, while current liabilities totaled $82.8 million, resulting in a positive working capital position of $28.6 million. Management anticipates that the Company’s primary sources of funds will be available cash, cash from operations and borrowings under existing and new loan agreements. Management believes that these sources of funds will be sufficient for the Company to meet its liquidity needs and comply with its banking covenants for at least twelve months from December 5, 2022, and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

Capital Expenditures

As of September 30, 2022, Navios Logistics has paid $0.3 million for the construction of a new stockpile in its Iron Ore Port Terminal, which is included in “Assets under construction” in its unaudited consolidated statement of financial position.

Since 2018, Navios Logistics has acquired a total of approximately 9.0 hectares of undeveloped land located in Port Murtinho, Brazil. The Company plans to develop this land for its port operations. As of September 30, 2022, the Company has paid $2.3 million for the land acquisition and capitalized expenses for the development of its port operations.

During the first quarter of 2021, Navios Logistics completed the construction of six liquid barges. As of December 31, 2021, a total of $19.5 million was transferred to “Tangible assets” in our unaudited consolidated statement of financial position of which capitalized interest amounted to $1.1 million.

During the first quarter of 2021, Navios Logistics completed the construction of two new tanks in the Liquid Port Terminal. As of December 31, 2021, a total of $1.8 million was transferred to “Tangible assets” in our unaudited consolidated statement of financial position.

On March 22, 2021, Navios Logistics completed the acquisition of a purchase agreement with an unrelated third party for the acquisition of the 2020 Fleet, for a purchase price of $30.0 million. As of December 31, 2021, a total of $32.0 million was transferred to “Tangible assets” in our unaudited consolidated statement of financial position.

During the second quarter of 2021, Navios Logistics completed the installation of a crane in the Grain Port Terminal. As of December 31, 2021, a total of $3.8 million was transferred to “Tangible assets” in our unaudited consolidated statement of financial position.

Dividend Policy

The payment of dividends is at the discretion of Navios Logistics’ board of directors. Any determination as to dividend policy will be made by Navios Logistics’ board of directors and will depend on a number of factors, including the requirements of Marshall Islands law, Navios Logistics’ future earnings, capital requirements, financial condition and future prospects and such other factors as Navios Logistics’ board of directors may deem relevant. Marshall Islands law generally prohibits the payment of dividends other than from surplus, when a company is insolvent or if the payment of the dividend would render the company insolvent. Navios Logistics’ ability to pay dividends is also restricted by the terms of the indenture governing its 2025 Notes.

 

18


Table of Contents

Because Navios Logistics is a holding company with no material assets other than the stock of its subsidiaries, its ability to pay dividends is dependent upon the earnings and cash flow of its subsidiaries and their ability to pay dividends to Navios Logistics. If there is a substantial decline in any of the markets in which Navios Logistics participates, its earnings will be negatively affected, thereby limiting its ability to pay dividends.

On July 30, 2021, the Company declared, and paid, a pro rata dividend to its shareholders with shares of Grimaud Ventures S.A. (“Grimaud”), representing 100% of Navios Logistics’ equity interest in Grimaud.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Accounts Receivable

In each of our businesses, we derive a significant part of our revenues from a small number of customers. We expect that a small number of customers will continue to generate a substantial portion of our revenues for the foreseeable future. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, our two largest customers, Vale International S.A. (“Vale”) and YPF S.A. (“YPF”), accounted for 20.0% and 12.5% of our revenues, respectively, and our five largest customers (including Vale and YPF) accounted for approximately 53.4% of our revenues, with no such customer (other than Vale and YPF) accounting for more than 10% of our revenues. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2021, our largest customer, Vale, accounted for 22.2% of our revenues, and our five largest customers (including Vale) accounted for approximately 51.1% of our revenues, with no such customer (other than Vale) accounting for more than 10% of our revenues. In addition, some of our customers, including many of our most significant customers, operate their own vessels and/or barges as well as their own port terminals. These customers may decide to cease or reduce the use of our services for various reasons, including employment of their own vessels or port terminals as applicable. The loss of any of our significant customers, including our large take-or-pay customers, or the change of the contractual terms of any one of our most significant take-or-pay contracts, or any significant dispute with one of these customers, could materially adversely affect our financial condition and our results of operations.

If one or more of our customers does not perform under one or more contracts with us and we are not able to find a replacement contract, or if a customer exercises certain rights to terminate the contract, we could suffer a loss of revenues that could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Item 3. Key Information — D. Risk Factors — We depend on a few significant customers for a large part of our revenues, and the loss of one or more of these customers could materially and adversely affect our revenues” in the 2021 Form 20-F.

We could lose a customer or the benefits of a contract if, among other things:

 

   

the customer fails to make payments because of its financial inability, the curtailment or cessation of its operations, its disagreements with us, or otherwise;

 

   

the customer terminates the contract because we fail to meet its contracted storage needs;

 

   

the customer terminates the contract 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 off-hire, default under the contract; or

 

   

the customer terminates the contract because the vessel has been subject to seizure for more than a specified number of days.

In July 2022, Vale S.A. announced the closing of the sale of its iron ore, manganese ore and logistics assets in the midwestern system to J&F Mineracao Ltda., an entity controlled by J&F Investimentos S.A. The Vale port contract entered into between Corporacion Navios S.A., a company controlled by Navios Logistics, and Vale, dated September 27, 2013, remains in full force and effect. Any transfer, novation, or assignment of the Vale port contract or any obligations or rights arising thereunder by Vale is subject to the prior approval of the Navios counterparty.

Cash Deposits with Financial Institutions

Cash deposits in excess of amounts covered by government-provided insurance are exposed to loss in the event of non-performance by financial institutions. Although we maintain cash deposits in excess of government-provided insurance limits we minimize our exposure to credit risk by dealing with a diversified group of major financial institutions.

Legal Proceedings and Commitments and Contingencies

We are subject to legal proceedings, claims and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. When such amounts can be estimated and the contingency is probable, management accrues the corresponding liability. While the ultimate outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against us cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the costs, individually or in aggregate, of such actions will have a material effect on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

The Company issued a guarantee and indemnity letter that guarantees the performance by Petrolera San Antonio S.A. (a consolidated subsidiary) of all its obligations to Vitol S.A. up to $12.0 million. This guarantee expires on March 1, 2023.

In June 2021 and 2022, the Company collected the first and second installments.

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a five year finance leasing contract for eight liquid barges to be delivered from the fourth quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2023. The finance lease contract is payable by 60 consecutive monthly payments of $26 thousand each, commencing with the delivery date of the applicable barge. At expiration, the Company will have the ability to exercise the purchase option of these barges or extend the term of the finance leasing contract.

Amounts due to affiliate companies do not accrue interest and do not have a specific due date for their settlement apart from the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement (as defined herein), which was repaid as of December 31, 2021 and the Promissory Note (as defined herein).

The Navios Holdings Loan Agreement: On April 25, 2019, Navios Logistics agreed to lend Navios Holdings $50.0 million on a secured basis (the “Navios Holdings Loan Agreement”) to be used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of Navios Holdings’ 7.375% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2022 (the “Navios Holdings 2022 Notes”). The secured credit facility was secured by Navios Holdings 2022 Notes purchased with funds borrowed under the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement. The secured credit facility included an arrangement fee of $0.5 million and initially bore fixed interest of 12.75% for the first year and 14.75% for the second year. On December 2, 2019, Navios Logistics agreed to increase the amount available under the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement by $20.0 million. Following this amendment, as a result of the redemption of the 2022 Notes, repayment of the Term Loan B Facility and the issuance of 2025 Notes, (a) the interest rate on the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement decreased to 10.0%, and (b) the maturity of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement was extended to December 2024.

On June 24, 2020, we entered into a deed of assignment and assumption with our wholly owned subsidiary, Grimaud and Anemos Maritime Holdings Inc. in respect of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement, in which we assigned our legal and beneficial right, title and interest in the Navios Holdings Loan to Grimaud. On June 25, 2020, Grimaud agreed to amend the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement to amend the interest payment date in respect of the Navios Holdings Loan and to allow a portion of the total interest payable in respect of the Navios Holdings Loan to be effected in common shares of Navios Holdings. On July 10, 2020, Navios Holdings issued 2,414,263 shares of common stock to Grimaud and paid Grimaud $6.4 million in satisfaction of the interest payable in respect of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement as of that date.

Table of Contents

Effective as of May 2021, and upon the release of certain collateral, the facility bore interest of 13.0% per annum.

On June 30, 2021, Grimaud entered into a supplemental agreement (the “Supplemental Navios Holdings Loan Agreement”) to the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement, whereby Grimaud and Navios Holdings agreed to amend the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement so that the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement could be repaid or prepaid in full through the issuance of shares of common stock of Navios Holdings (the “Shares”) to Grimaud. The effectiveness of the Supplemental Navios Holdings Loan Agreement was subject to, and contingent upon, a prepayment by Navios Holdings of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement in the amount of $7.5 million in cash and the effectiveness of a registration statement of Navios Holdings registering the resale of 9,301,542 Shares, among other conditions. On July 13, 2021, following the completion of all conditions precedent, the Shares were transferred to Grimaud and the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement was repaid in full. Subsequently, Grimaud entered into a 10b-5 sales agreement for the sale of the Shares. As of July 30, 2021, the date on which the shares of Grimaud were distributed as dividend to the shareholders of the Company, Grimaud had sold 752,000 shares of common stock of Navios Holdings and generated net proceeds of $3.7 million. Following the July 30, 2021 dividend, the Company recognized a loss of $24.1 million in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit/(loss) for the period ended September 30, 2021 under the caption “Loss from mark to market and disposal of financial asset”.

As of December 31, 2021, the full amount outstanding under the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement was repaid. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021, interest income related to the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement amounted to $0.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, and is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit/(loss) under the caption “Finance income”.

Administrative expenses: On August 29, 2019 Navios Logistics entered into an assignment agreement with Navios Corporation (“NC”) and Navios Shipmanagement Inc. (“NSM”), whereby the administrative services agreement originally entered into between Navios Logistics and Navios Holdings on April 12, 2011, first assigned to NC on May 28, 2014 and subsequently amended on April 6, 2016 and January 1, 2022 (extending the term of the agreement to January 1, 2027), was assigned from NC to NSM. Thereafter, NSM continues to provide certain administrative management services to Navios Logistics. NSM is reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services. Total administrative expenses charged for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $0.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Lodging and travel services: Navios Logistics obtains lodging and travel services from Empresa Hotelera Argentina S.A./ (NH Lancaster), Divijet S.A., Trace Capital and Pit Jet S.A., all partially owned by Claudio Pablo Lopez, Navios Logistics’ Vice Chairman. Total charges were less than $0.1 million and nil for the three month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and less than $0.1 million and nil for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Amounts payable amounted to nil as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Promissory note: On July 30, 2021, the Company issued a $20.0 million promissory note to Grimaud (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is payable in four semi-annual equal installments commencing on August 15, 2021. The Company has the ability to defer payment of one of the first three installments, subject to certain conditions. On July 30, 2021, Grimaud entered into an assignment agreement with Peers Business Inc. (“Peers”), whereby the Promissory Note was assigned to Peers. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had paid an amount of $10.0 million relating to the Promissory Note.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks

We are exposed to certain risks related to interest rate, foreign currency transactions, fuel price inflation and time charter hire rate fluctuation. Risk management is carried out under policies approved by executive management.

Interest Rate Risk:

Debt Instruments—As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a total of $563.5 million and $558.4 million, respectively, in long-term indebtedness. The debt is U.S. dollar denominated and bears interest at a fixed rate except for the Notes Payable and the 2022 Term Bank Loan, which each bear interest at a floating rate.

Interest rates on the 2025 Notes, the 2022 BBVA Facility, the Santander Facility, the seller’s credit for the construction of six liquid barges and the 2020 Fleet are fixed, and, therefore, changes in interest rates affect the fair values of the indebtedness, which as of September 30, 2022 were $470.6 million, $23.7 million, $4.4 million, $9.4 million and $10.0 million, respectively. Interest rate changes do not affect the related finance cost. The interest on the Notes Payable and the 2022 Term Bank loan is at a floating rate and, therefore, changes in interest rates would affect the interest rate and related finance cost of each instrument. As of September 30, 2022, the amount outstanding under the Company’s floating rate loan facilities was $15.9 million. A change in the SOFR and CIRR rate of 100 basis points would increase finance cost for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 by $0.2 million.

For a detailed discussion of Navios Logistics’ debt instruments, see “Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings” included elsewhere in this report.

Foreign Currency Transactions:

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange transaction risk related to funding our operations. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, approximately 61.8%, and 51.7%, respectively, of our expenses were incurred in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Further, for the nine month period ended September 2022, approximately 28%, 22% and 11% of the Company’s $117.7 million of combined costs for: (a) time charter, voyage and port terminal expenses; (b) direct vessels expenses; (c) cost of products; and (d) administrative expenses, net of depreciation (together, the “Combined Cost”), were denominated in Argentinean pesos, Paraguayan guaranies and Uruguayan pesos, respectively. Comparatively, the same foreign currencies accounted for approximately 25%, 17% and 10%, respectively, of our $106.2 million of Combined Cost for the nine month period ended September 30, 2021. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, Brazilian reais accounted for less than 1% of our Combined Cost.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, a 1.00% change in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the Argentinean peso, Paraguayan guarani and Uruguayan peso would change our profit for the year by $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Comparatively, a 1.00% change in the same exchange rates would change our profit for the period ended September 30, 2021 by $0.3 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

NAVIOS SOUTH AMERICAN LOGISTICS INC.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)

NOTE 1: CORPORATE INFORMATION

Navios South American Logistics Inc. (“Navios Logistics” or the “Company”) was incorporated under the laws of the Republic of the Marshall Islands on December 17, 2007. Navios Logistics believes it is one of the largest infrastructure and logistics companies in the Hidrovia region of South America, focusing on the Hidrovia river system, the main navigable river system in the region, and on the cabotage trades along the southeastern coast of South America. Navios Logistics is focused on providing its customers integrated transportation, storage and related services through its port facilities, its large, versatile fleet of dry and liquid cargo barges and its product tankers. Navios Logistics serves the needs of a number of growing South American industries, including mineral and grain commodity providers as well as users of refined petroleum products. As of September 30, 2022, Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. (“Navios Holdings”) owned 63.8% of Navios Logistics’ stock.

NOTE 2: BASIS OF PREPARATION, ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND SIGNIFICANT FACTORS AFFECTING UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a) Basis of Preparation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Navios Logistics have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (the “IASB”), and present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company on a going concern basis.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and disclosures required for the annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except where fair value accounting is specifically required by IFRS, as explained in the accounting policies below. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars which is also the currency of the Company’s primary economic environment and the functional currency of the major and majority of the Company’s subsidiaries. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand (U.S.D. 000), except when otherwise indicated.

On November 17, 2022, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors.

(b) Going concern

In considering whether it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis, management reviewed the Company’s future cash requirements, covenant compliance and earnings projections. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s current assets totaled $111,321 while current liabilities totaled $82,765 resulting in a positive working capital position of $28,556.

Management anticipates that the Company’s primary sources of funds will be available cash, cash from operations and borrowings under existing and new loan agreements. Management believes that these sources of funds will be sufficient for the Company to meet its liquidity needs and comply with its banking covenants for at least twelve months from December 5, 2022, and therefore it is appropriate to prepare the financial statements on a going concern basis.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars)

 

(d) New standards, interpretations and amendments adopted by the Company

The accounting policies and methods of computation used in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and have been consistently applied in all periods presented in this report except for the following IFRSs which have been adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2022. Amendments and interpretations that apply for the first time in 2022 do not have a significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company for the nine month period ended September 30, 2022. These are also disclosed below.

 

   

IFRS 3: Business Combinations (Amendments)

Minor amendments were made to IFRS 3 Business Combinations to update the references to the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting and to add an exception for the recognition of liabilities and contingent liabilities within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets and Interpretation 21 Levies. The amendments also confirm that contingent assets should not be recognized at the acquisition date. The Amendments were effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2022.

 

   

Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards – 2018-2020 Cycle

The amendment was issued in May 2020 and are applicable to annual periods starting as from January 1, 2022.

 

   

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment

The amendment was issued in May 2020. The amendment to IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment (PP&E) prohibits an entity from deducting from the cost of an item of PP&E any proceeds received from selling items produced while the entity is preparing the asset for its intended use. It also clarifies that an entity is ‘testing whether the asset is functioning properly’ when it assesses the technical and physical performance of the asset. The financial performance of the asset is not relevant to this assessment. Entities must disclose separately the amounts of proceeds and costs relating to items produced that are not an output of the entity’s ordinary activities. Amendments were applicable to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2022.

 

   

IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets

The amendment was issued in May 2020. It clarifies the scope of the concept of fulfillment cost of an onerous contract. Amendments were applicable to fiscal years starting on or after January 1, 2022.

(e) Impact of Standards issued but not yet effective and not early adopted by the Company

The Company has not early adopted any of the following standards, interpretations or amendments that have been issued but are not yet effective. In addition, the Company assessed all standards, interpretations and amendments issued but not yet effective, and concluded that they will not have any significant impact on the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

   

IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts

The amendment was issued in May 2017 and modified in June 2020. It supersedes IFRS 4, introduced in 2004 as an interim standard, which gave companies dispensation to carry on accounting for insurance contracts using national accounting standards, thus resulting in several application approaches. IFRS 17 sets the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of information associated with insurance contracts and is applicable as from January 1, 2023, allowing for its early adoption for entities already applying IFRS 9 and IFRS 15. The Company estimates that its application will not have a significant impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

IAS 8 Accounting Policies

The amendment was issued in February 2021. Clarifies the treatment of estimates required in the application of accounting policies. Amendments are applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, allowing for early adoption. Their application will not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

   

IAS 12 Income Taxes

The amendment was issued in February 2021. It incorporates modifications regarding the recognition of deferred tax related to assets and liabilities that arise from a single transaction, giving rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Amendments are applicable to fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2023, allowing for early adoption. Their application will not have an impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

(f) Accounting policies and the use of estimates

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with IFRS, requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates and assumptions. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed where considered necessary. Estimates and judgements are discussed in detail in Note 2(y) in the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. Such estimates and judgments are continuously evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including expectations of future events as assessed to be reasonable under the present circumstances.

(g) Seasonality

Certain of the Navios Logistics’ businesses have seasonality aspects, and seasonality affects the results of Navios Logistics’ operations and revenues, particularly in the first and last quarters of each year. With respect to the Dry Port Terminals operations in Uruguay, the high season is mainly from April to September, linked with the South American harvest and the arrival of barges down the river. The high season for the Barge Business is the period between February and July as a result of the South American harvest and higher river levels. During the South American late spring and summer, mainly from November to January, the low level of water in the northern Hidrovia Waterway could adversely affect its operations and volumes transported to the extent that water levels are not high enough to accommodate the draft of a heavily laden vessel. In that case, a vessel may be only partially loaded, generating lower revenue under agreements where revenue is based on volume of cargo loaded. Depending on water levels, such vessels could be prevented entirely from loading and navigating. In addition, low water levels create difficult navigation conditions, causing voyages to last longer and to incur increased voyage expenses. Such circumstances reduce the effective available carrying capacity of the vessel for the year. Navios Logistics’ Liquid Port Terminal and its Cabotage Business are not significantly affected by seasonality as the operations of the Liquid Port Terminal and Cabotage Business are primarily linked to refined petroleum products, and not really affected by water levels.

NOTE 3: SEGMENT INFORMATION

Current accounting guidance establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires reporting of selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports issued to shareholders. Operating segments are components of a company of which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision makers in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Chief operating decision makers use profit to evaluate operating performance of each segment. The guidance also establishes standards for related disclosures about a company’s products and services, geographical areas and major customers. The Company has determined that its reportable segments are those that are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting.

Navios Logistics has three reportable segments: Port Terminal Business, Barge Business and Cabotage Business. The Port Terminal Business includes the dry port terminal operations and the liquid port terminal operations. A general description of each segment follows:

The Port Terminal Business segment

This segment includes the operating results of Navios Logistics’ dry port terminal and liquid port terminal operations.

(i) Dry Port Terminal operations

Navios Logistics owns and operates the largest independent bulk transfer and storage port terminal facilities in Uruguay based on throughputs. Its dry port terminal operations are comprised of two port terminals, one for agricultural and forest-related exports ( the “Grain Port Terminal”) and one for mineral-related exports (the “Iron Ore Port Terminal”) which are both located in an international tax-free trade zone in the port of Nueva Palmira, Uruguay, at the convergence of the Parana and Uruguay rivers. The Grain Port Terminal, together with the Iron Ore Port Terminal, may be collectively referred to in this report as the “Dry Port Terminals.”

(ii) Liquid Port Terminal operations

Navios Logistics owns and operates an up-river port terminal with tank storage for refined petroleum products, oil and gas (the “Liquid Port Terminal”) in San Antonio, Paraguay, approximately 17 miles by river from the capital of Asuncion. The Liquid Port Terminal is one of the largest independent storage facilities for crude and petroleum products in Paraguay based on storage capacity.

The Cabotage Business segment

Navios Logistics owns and operates ocean-going vessels to support the transportation needs of its customers in the South American coastal trade business. Its fleet consists of five ocean-going product tanker vessels, a river and estuary tanker vessel and a bunker vessel. Navios Logistics contracts its vessels either on a time charter basis or on a contract of affreightment (“CoA”) basis.

The Barge Business segment

Navios Logistics services the Argentine, Bolivian, Brazilian, Paraguayan and Uruguayan river transportation markets through its fleet. Navios Logistics operates different types of pushboats and wet and dry barges for delivering a wide range of dry and liquid products between ports in the Parana, Paraguay and Uruguay River systems in South America (the Hidrovia or the “waterway”). Navios Logistics contracts its vessels either on a time charter basis or on a CoA basis.

Inter-segment transactions, if any, are accounted for at current market prices.

Contract assets represent amounts from contracts with customers that reflect services transferred to customers for before payment or consideration is due. Specifically, contract assets represent the freight, demurrage, deviation and other amounts receivable from charterers for the completed voyage performance as at the period end. The balances of contract assets vary and depend on ongoing voyage charters at period end.

Contract liabilities represent the performance due to a customer for the remaining voyage as at the period end. This may happen in the case where the customer has made an advance payment before the completion of the voyage as of the period end date. The balances of contract liabilities vary and depend on advance payments received at period end.

2025 Notes

On July 8, 2020, Navios Logistics and its wholly-owned subsidiary Navios Logistics Finance (US) Inc. (“Logistics Finance” and, together with Navios Logistics, the “Co-Issuers”) issued $500,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior secured notes due 2025 (“the 2025 Notes”), at a fixed rate per annum of 10.75%. The net proceeds from the offering of the 2025 Notes were used to satisfy and discharge the indenture governing the notes issued on April 22, 2014, and due on May 1, 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), to repay all amounts outstanding under the term loan B facility issued on November 3, 2017 (the “Term Loan B Facility”) and to pay certain fees and expenses related to the offering, with the balance used for general corporate purposes.

The 2025 Co-Issuers have the option to redeem the 2025 Notes in whole or in part, at any time on or after August 1, 2022, at a fixed price of 108.063% of the principal amount, which declines to 102.688% on August 1, 2023 and to par on August 1, 2024. The Co-Issuers may also redeem all, but not less than all, of the 2025 Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, upon certain changes in law that would trigger the payment of withholding taxes. Furthermore, upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, the Co-Issuers may be required to offer to purchase 2025 Notes from holders at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

The 2025 Notes are senior secured obligations of the Co-Issuers and rank equal in right of payment to all of their existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of their future subordinated indebtedness. The 2025 Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than Logistics Finance. The 2025 Notes are secured by: (i) first priority ship mortgages on four tanker vessels servicing the Company’s Cabotage Business (the (1) Elena H, (2) Makenita H, (3) Sara H and (4) He Man H) owned by certain subsidiary guarantors (such guarantors, the “Mortgaged Vessel Guarantors”) and related assignments of earnings and insurance, together with a first priority lien on the capital stock of each Mortgaged Vessel Guarantor; and (ii) an assignment by way of security of the Vale port contract (collectively, the “Collateral”). The 2025 Notes are effectively senior to all existing and future obligations of the subsidiary guarantors that own Collateral, to the extent of the value of the Collateral but effectively junior to any existing and future secured obligations of the Co-Issuers and the subsidiary guarantors that are secured by assets other than the Collateral, to the extent of the value of any assets securing such other obligations.

The indenture governing the 2025 Notes contains restrictive covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Co-Issuers and their restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends and make distributions on common and preferred stock, make other restricted payments, make investments, incur liens, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their assets and enter into certain transactions with affiliates, in each case, subject to exclusions, and other customary covenants. The indenture governing the 2025 Notes also contains customary events of default.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, deferred finance costs associated with the 2025 Notes amounted to $13,033 and $15,927, respectively. Finance costs associated with the 2025 Notes amounted to $13,438 and $40,313 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $13,438 and $40,163 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit/(loss) under the caption “Finance costs”.

Notes Payable

In connection with the purchase of mechanical equipment for the expansion of its dry port terminal, the Company entered into an unsecured export financing line of credit for a total amount of $41,964, including related fixed finance costs of $5,949, available in multiple drawings upon the completion of certain milestones (“Drawdown Events”). The Company incurs the obligation for the respective amount drawn by signing promissory notes (“Notes Payable”). Each drawdown is repayable in 16 consecutive semi-annual installments, starting six months after the completion of each Drawdown Event. Together with each Note Payable, the Company paid interest based on six-month LIBOR, and currently pays interest based on the Commercial Interest Reference Rates (“CIRR”). The unsecured export financing line is fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Ponte Rio S.A. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had drawn the total available amount and the outstanding balance of Notes Payable was $9,287.

Amounts due to affiliate companies do not accrue interest and do not have a specific due date for their settlement apart from the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement (as defined herein) which was repaid as of December 31, 2021, and the Promissory Note (as defined herein).

The Navios Holdings Loan Agreement: On April 25, 2019, Navios Logistics agreed to lend Navios Holdings $50,000 on a secured basis (the “Navios Holdings Loan Agreement”) to be used for general corporate purposes, including the repurchase of Navios Holdings’ 7.375% First Priority Ship Mortgage Notes due 2022 (the “Navios Holdings 2022 Notes”). The secured credit facility was secured by Navios Holdings 2022 Notes purchased with funds borrowed under the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement. The secured credit facility included an arrangement fee of $500 and initially bore fixed interest of 12.75% for the first year and 14.75% for the second year. On December 2, 2019, Navios Logistics agreed to increase the amount available under the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement by $20,000. Following this amendment, as a result of the redemption of the 2022 Notes, repayment of the Term Loan B Facility and the issuance of 2025 Notes, (a) the interest rate on the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement decreased to 10.0%, and (b) the maturity of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement was extended to December 2024.

On June 24, 2020, Navios Logistics entered into a deed of assignment and assumption with its wholly owned subsidiary, Grimaud, and Anemos Maritime Holdings Inc. in respect of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement, in which Navios Logistics assigned its legal and beneficial right, title and interest in the Navios Holdings Loan to Grimaud. On June 25, 2020, Grimaud agreed to amend the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement to amend the interest payment date in respect of the Navios Holdings Loan and to allow a portion of the total interest payable in respect of the Navios Holdings Loan to be effected in common shares of Navios Holdings. On July 10, 2020, Navios Holdings issued 2,414,263 shares of common stock to Grimaud and paid Grimaud $6,381 in satisfaction of the interest payable in respect of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement as of that date.

Effective as of May 2021, and upon the release of certain collateral, the facility bore interest of 13.0% per annum.

On June 30, 2021, Grimaud entered into a supplemental agreement (the “Supplemental Navios Holdings Loan Agreement”) to the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement, whereby Grimaud and Navios Holdings agreed to amend the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement so that the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement could be repaid or prepaid in full through the issuance of shares of common stock of Navios Holdings (the “Shares”) to Grimaud. The effectiveness of the Supplemental Navios Holdings Loan Agreement was subject to, and contingent upon, a prepayment by Navios Holdings of the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement in the amount of $7,500 in cash and the effectiveness of a registration statement of Navios Holdings registering the resale of 9,301,542 Shares, among other conditions. On July 13, 2021, following the completion of all conditions precedent, the Shares were transferred to Grimaud and the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement was repaid in full. Subsequently, Grimaud entered into a 10b-5 sales agreement for the sale of the Shares. As of July 30, 2021, the date on which the shares of Grimaud were distributed as dividend to the shareholders of the Company, Grimaud had sold 752,000 shares of common stock of Navios Holdings and generated net proceeds of $3,704. Following the July 30, 2021 dividend, the Company recognized a loss of $24,149 in its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit/(loss) for the period ended September 30, 2021 included under the caption “Loss from mark to market and disposal of financial asset”.

As of December 31, 2021, the full amount outstanding under the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement was repaid. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021, interest income related to the Navios Holdings Loan Agreement amounted to $329 and $4,230, respectively, and is included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of profit/(loss) under the caption “Finance income”.

(“NSM”), whereby the administrative services agreement originally entered into between Navios Logistics and Navios Holdings on April 12, 2011, first assigned to NC on May 28, 2014 and subsequently amended on April 6, 2016 and January 1, 2022 (extending the term of the agreement to January 1, 2027), was assigned from NC to NSM. Thereafter, NSM continues to provide certain administrative management services to Navios Logistics. NSM is reimbursed for reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the provision of these services. Total administrative expenses charged for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 amounted to $286 and $858, respectively.

Lodging and travel services: Navios Logistics obtains lodging and travel services from Empresa Hotelera Argentina S.A./(NH Lancaster), Divijet S.A., Trace Capital and Pit Jet S.A., all partially owned by Claudio Pablo Lopez, Navios Logistics’ Vice Chairman. Total charges were less than $0.1 million and nil for the three month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 and less than $0.1 million and nil for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Amounts payable amounted to nil as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Promissory note: On July 30, 2021, the Company issued a $20,000 promissory note to Grimaud (the “Promissory Note”). The Promissory Note is payable in four semi-annual equal installments commencing on August 15, 2021. The Company has the ability to defer payment of one of the first three installments subject to certain conditions. On July 30, 2021, Grimaud entered into an assignment agreement with Peers Business Inc. (“Peers”), whereby the Promissory Note was assigned to Peers. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had paid an amount of $10,000 relating to the Promissory Note.

Employment Agreements - Compensation of key management personnel

The Company had employment agreements with three key management employees who are non-controlling shareholders of the Company. These agreements stipulate, among other things, severance and benefit arrangements in the event of termination. In addition, the agreements include confidentiality provisions and covenants not to compete. The employment agreements initially expired in December 31, 2009, but have been renewed automatically for successive one-year periods. The agreements called for base salaries ranging from $280 to $340 per year, annual bonuses and other incentives, provided certain performance targets are achieved. Under the agreements, the Company accrued compensation expense relating to its key management employees totaling $225 and $675 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of October 2022, only one employment agreement remains in force.

Pursuant to the assignment agreement with NC and NSM, the latter provides certain administrative management services to Navios Logistics including the compensation of its directors and members of the Company’s senior management who are not employees of the Company. This compensation is included in the administrative expenses charged which amounted to $286 and $858 for both the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

NOTE 11: FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

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

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.

Notes Payable: The Notes Payable are floating rate obligations and their carrying amounts approximate their fair value as indicated in the table below.

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings: 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 their fair value, excluding the effect of any deferred finance costs. The 2025 Notes, the 2022 BBVA Facility, the Santander Facility, the seller’s credit for the construction of six liquid barges and the 2020 Fleet are fixed rate borrowings and their fair value was determined based on quoted market prices.

NOTE 13: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal

Navios Logistics has issued a guarantee and indemnity letter that guarantees the performance by Petrolera San Antonio S.A. (a consolidated subsidiary) of all its obligations to Vitol S.A. up to $12,000. This guarantee expires on March 1, 2023.

On July 22, 2016, the Company guaranteed the compliance of certain obligations related to Edolmix S.A. and Energías Renovables del Sur S.A. (entities wholly owned by the Company) under their respective direct user agreements with the Free Zone of Nueva Palmira, for the amounts of $847 and $519, respectively.

In September 2020, the Company agreed to a settlement regarding a storage and transshipment contract in the Grain Port Terminal for a total amount to be paid to the Company as a result of the settlement of $4,140, which will be collected in three equal installments of $1,380 on June 1, 2021, 2022 and 2023. In June 2021 and 2022, the Company collected the first and second installments.

On April 28, 2022, the Company entered into a five year finance leasing contract for eight liquid barges to be delivered from the fourth quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2023. The finance lease contract is payable by 60 consecutive monthly payments of $26 each, commencing with the delivery date of the applicable barge. At expiration, the Company will have the ability to exercise the purchase option of these barges or extend the term of the finance leasing contract.

In July 2022, Vale S.A. announced the closing of the sale of its iron ore, manganese ore and logistics assets in the midwestern system to J&F Mineracao Ltda., an entity controlled by J&F Investimentos S.A. The Vale port contract entered into between Corporacion Navios S.A., a company controlled by Navios Logistics, and Vale International S.A. (“Vale”), dated September 27, 2013, remains in full force and effect. Any transfer, novation, or assignment of the Vale port contract or any obligations or rights arising thereunder by Vale is subject to the prior approval of the Navios counterparty.

The Company is subject to legal proceedings, claims and contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business. When such amounts can be estimated and the contingency is probable, management accrues the corresponding liability. While the ultimate outcome of lawsuits or other proceedings against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not believe the costs, individually or in aggregate of such actions will have a material effect on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
