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:

Navios Logistics Fleet Summary (owned)

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.

Period over Period Comparisons

The following table presents consolidated revenue and expense information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. This information was derived from Navios Logistics’ unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the respective periods.

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.

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022 compared to the nine month period ended September 30, 2021

Revenue

The following table presents our revenues for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

Time Charter, Voyage and Port Terminal Revenues: For the nine month period ended September 30, 2022, Navios Logistics’ time charter, voyage and port terminal revenues increased by $34.7 million, or 21.0%, to $199.9 million, as compared to $165.2 million for the same period during 2021.

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.

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 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, the outstanding balance was $23.8 million.

On May 18, 2017, the Company entered into a $14.0 million term loan facility (the “Term Bank Loan”) in order to finance the acquisition of two product tankers.

Each drawdown is repayable in 20 quarterly installments starting from the delivery date for each barge. The seller’s credit for the construction of the six liquid barges bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.5% per annum. As of September 30, 2022, the Company had drawn the total available amount and the outstanding balance was $9.4 million. Finance costs associated with the seller’s credit agreement for the construction of six liquid barges amounted to $0.2 million and $0.6 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.3 million and $0.8 million 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”.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, Navios Logistics entered into a purchase agreement with an unrelated third party for the acquisition of the 2020 Fleet. Navios Logistics completed the acquisition on March 22, 2021, which included a $15.0 million seller’s credit agreement. The seller’s credit agreement bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum. As at September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance under the seller’s credit agreement was $10.0 million. Finance costs associated with the seller’s credit agreement for the acquisition of the 2020 Fleet amounted to $0.1 million and $0.4 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.4 million 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”.

The Company was in compliance with all such covenants as of September 30, 2022.

The annualized weighted average interest rates of the Company’s total interest-bearing loans and borrowings were 10.11% and 10.15% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2022, respectively, and 9.91% and 9.97% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2021, respectively.

17

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, an amount of $9.6 million and $23.3 million, respectively, was included under the caption “Trade and other payables” in the Company’s unaudited condensed statement of financial position related to accrued interest from its interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

The maturity table below reflects future payments of the long-term interest-bearing loans and borrowings and interest outstanding as of September 30 2022, for the next five years and thereafter, based on the repayment schedule of the respective loan facilities (as described above).

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

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:

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.

19

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.

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 $0.8 million and $0.5 million, 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 $4.1 million, which will be collected in three equal installments of $1.4 million 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 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.

Related Party Transactions

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, amounts due to affiliate companies were as follows:

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.

20

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.

21

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.
