Cash Distribution And Earnings Per Unit

NOTE 18 – CASH DISTRIBUTIONS AND EARNINGS PER UNIT

The amount of distributions paid by Navios Partners and the decision to make any distribution is determined by the Company’s board of directors and will depend on, among other things, Navios Partners’ cash requirements as measured by market opportunities and restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem advisable. There is no guarantee that the Company will pay the quarterly distribution on the common units in any quarter. The Company is prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would cause an event of default, or an event of default exists, under its existing credit facilities.

There are incentive distribution rights held by Navios GP L.L.C., which are analyzed as follows:


		Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
	Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount	Common Unitholders			Incentive Distribution Right Holder			General Partner
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	up to $5.25		98	%		—			2	%
First Target Distribution	up to $6.0375		98	%		—			2	%
Second Target Distribution	above $6.0375 up to $6.5625		85	%		13	%		2	%
Third Target Distribution	above $6.5625 up to $7.875		75	%		23	%		2	%
Thereafter	above $7.875		50	%		48	%		2	%

The first 98% of the quarterly distribution is paid to all common unitholders. The incentive distributions rights (held by Navios GP L.L.C.) apply only after a minimum quarterly distribution of $6.0375 per unit.

The authorized quarterly cash distributions for all quarters during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, are presented below:

Navios Partners calculates earnings/(losses) per unit by allocating reported net income/(loss) for each period to each class of units based on the distribution waterfall for available cash specified in Navios Partners’ partnership agreement, net of the unallocated earnings (or losses). Basic earnings/(losses) per common unit is determined by dividing net income/(loss) by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated in the same manner as basic earnings per unit, except that the weighted average number of outstanding units increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding unit options or phantom units. Net earnings/(loss) per unit undistributed is determined by taking the distributions in excess of net income/(loss) and allocating between common units and general partnership units on a 98%-2% basis. There were no options or phantom units outstanding during each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

The calculations of the basic and diluted earnings per unit are presented below.
