Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
We are exposed to certain risks related to interest rate, foreign currency, 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 March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had a total of $565.7 million and $558.4 million, respectively, in long-term indebtedness. The debt is dollar denominated and bears interest at a fixed rate except for the Notes Payable and the Term Bank loan that bear interest at a floating rate.
Interest rates on the 2022 BBVA Facility, the Santander Facility, the 2025 Notes, the seller’s credit for the construction of six liquid barges and the credit agreement for the acquisition of the 2020 Fleet are fixed, and, therefore, changes in interest rates affect their fair value, which as of March 31, 2022 was $17.0 million, $5.0 million, $525.5 million, $10.6 million and $14.0 million, respectively, but do not affect the related finance cost. The interest on the Notes Payable and the Term Bank loan is at a floating rate and, therefore, changes in interest rates would affect their interest rate and related finance cost. As of March 31, 2022, the amount outstanding under the Company’s floating rate loan facilities was $19.1 million. A change in the LIBOR rate of 100 basis points would increase finance cost for the three month period ended March 31, 2022 by $0.2 million.
For a detailed discussion of Navios Logistics’ debt instruments refer to section “Interest-Bearing Loans and Borrowings” included elsewhere in this document.
Foreign Currency Transactions:
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange transaction risk related to funding our operations. For the three month period ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 approximately 56.5%, and 50.3%, respectively, of our expenses were incurred in currencies other than U.S. dollars. Further, for the three month period ended March 31, 2021, approximately 28%, 18% and 10% of the Company’s $33.8 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”), was denominated in Argentinean pesos, Paraguayan guaranies and Uruguayan pesos, respectively. Comparatively, the same foreign currencies accounted for approximately 22%, 18% and 10%, respectively, of our $30.5 million of Combined Cost for the three month period ended March 31, 2021. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, Brazilian reais accounted for less than 1% of our Combined Cost.
For the three month period ended March 31, 2022, a 1.00% change in the exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and Argentinean pesos, Paraguayan guaranies and Uruguayan pesos would change our profit for the year by $0.1 million, $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively. Comparatively, a 1.00% change in the same exchange rates would change our profit for the period ended March 31, 2021 by $0.1 million, $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million, respectively.
