injection solutions in the United Kingdom (the “Bluestreak CO2
Joint Venture”) and that would provide an end-to-end solution for
carbon emitters to capture, transport, sequester and store their
carbon dioxide emissions in line with the United Kingdom’s
Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy. The transaction is subject to
the execution of definitive documentation, approvals by the boards
of directors of both parties, applicable regulatory approvals and
other customary conditions. There can be no assurance that
definitive documentation for the joint venture will be executed or
that the joint venture will be completed on the terms anticipated
or at all.
Ethylene Export Terminal
The Ethylene Export Terminal had a throughput during the second
quarter of 2023 totaling 277,582 metric tons, compared to 268,444
metric tons during the second quarter of 2022.
We, together with our joint venture partner have agreed to the
Terminal Expansion Project, which is expected to increase the
export capacity from approximately one million tons per year to at
least approximately 1.55 million tons (up to a maximum of
approximately three million tons per year. Long lead items have
already been ordered and construction which is expected to be
completed in the second half of 2024, has commenced. The total
capital contributions required from us to the Export Terminal Joint
Venture for the Terminal Expansion Project are expected to be
approximately $120-$130 million which the Company expects to
finance using existing cash resources, distributions from the
Export Terminal Joint Venture during the course of the expansion
and additional debt. On April 28, 2023 we made the first capital
contribution of $9.0 million towards the project with the second
capital contribution of $9.0 million due on August, 18, 2023.
Shipping TrendsThe handysize segment has
continued its robust performance from the first quarter through the
second quarter of 2023.
Utilization across the fleet decreased from 96% in the first
quarter of 2023 to 89% through the second quarter of 2023. The
decrease is a result of markets coming out of a seasonally busy and
stronger winter period. The handysize 12-month market assessment
for semi-refrigerated and fully refrigerated vessels decreased by
$7,000 per calendar month (“pcm”) down to $750,000 pcm and the
handysize ethylene market assessment increased by $26,000 pcm up to
$976,000 pcm.
Approximately 65% of the ethylene volume had an Asian
destination in the first quarter, with the balance of the volume
going to Europe. During the second quarter the ethylene volume
going to Asia reduced to about 46%, with an increased volume of 46%
going to Europe and the balance of 8% to South American or Middle
Eastern destinations. The reduction in Asia-bound volumes had a
softening effect on the freight market.
We have 31 vessels engaged in Time Charters ("TC") and 11
vessels on spot and contracts of affreightment ("CoA"). On June 30,
2023, we had 42% of our ship days covered on Time Charter. Midsize
and Fully-Ref vessels are fully employed on Time-Charter, with
Semi-Ref and Ethylene capable vessels split across TC and spot.
The fleet has historically experienced summer seasonality with
softer utilization compared to the winter period. This year
however, the market conditions are providing a stronger backdrop
compared to what we have experienced during similar periods for the
last years. Our utilization for July 2023 is above the 90% mark
which indicates continuation of the positive market
fundamentals.

1EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measurements prepared in
accordance with U.S. GAAP (non-GAAP financial measures). EBITDA
represents net income before net interest expense, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA
before profit on sale of vessel, unrealized gain or loss on
non-designated derivative instruments and foreign currency exchange
gain or loss on senior secured bonds. Management believes that
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful to investors in evaluating
the operating performance of the Company. EBITDA and Adjusted
EBITDA do not represent and should not be considered alternatives
to consolidated net income, cash generated from operations or any
measure prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and our calculation
of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that
reported by other companies.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues,
net of address commissions, was $122.1 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2023, an increase of $16.2 million or 15.3% compared
to $105.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This
increase was primarily due to:
- an increase in operating revenues of approximately
$9.7 million attributable to an increase in average monthly
time charter equivalent rates, which increased to an average of
approximately $27,241 per vessel per day ($828,583 per vessel per
calendar month) for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared
to an average of approximately $24,633 per vessel per day $749,244
per vessel per calendar month) for the three months ended June 30,
2022;
- an increase in operating revenues of approximately
$1.9 million attributable to an increase in fleet utilization,
which rose to 89.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to 87.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2022;
- an increase in operating revenues of approximately
$6.8 million attributable to a 317 day increase in vessel
available days, or 8.02% for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. This increase was
in part as a result of the acquisition of five additional handysize
vessels by the Navigator Greater Bay Joint Venture during the three
months ended June 30, 2023 and in part as a result of fewer vessels
in drydock for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared
to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
- a decrease in operating revenues of approximately
$2.2 million primarily attributable to a decrease in pass
through voyage costs for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.
The following table presents selected operating data for the
three months ended June 30, 2022, and 2023, which we believe
are useful in understanding the basis for movement in our operating
revenues. It does not include our nine owned smaller vessels in the
independent commercially managed Unigas Pool or the vessels owned
by Pacific Gas in our Luna Pool prior to their acquisition by the
Navigator Greater Bay Joint Venture.

* Non-GAAP Financial
Measure—Time charter equivalent: Time charter equivalent
(“TCE”) rate is a measure of the average daily revenue performance
of a vessel. TCE is not calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
For all charters, we calculate TCE by dividing total operating
revenues (excluding collaborative arrangements and revenues from
the Unigas Pool), less any voyage expenses (excluding collaborative
arrangements), by the number of earning days for the relevant
period. TCE rates exclude the effects of the collaborative
arrangements, as earning days and fleet utilization, on which TCE
rates are based, are calculated for our owned vessels, and not the
average of all pool vessels. Under a time charter, the charterer
pays substantially all of the vessel voyage related expenses,
whereas for voyage charters, also known as spot market charters, we
pay all voyage expenses. TCE rate is a shipping industry
performance measure used primarily to compare period-to-period
changes in a company’s performance despite changes in the mix of
charter types (i.e., spot charters, time charters and contracts of
affreightment) under which the vessels may be employed between the
periods. We include average daily TCE rate, as we believe it
provides additional meaningful information in conjunction with net
operating revenues, because it assists our management in making
decisions regarding the deployment and use of our vessels and in
evaluating their financial performance. Our calculation of TCE rate
may not be comparable to that reported by other companies.
Reconciliation of Operating Revenues to TCE
rate

revenues to TCE rate. Operating revenues are the most directly

*Operating revenues and voyage expenses excluding collaborative
arrangements and Unigas pool.
Operating Revenues – Unigas
Pool. Operating revenues – Unigas Pool was $13.1
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to $11.4
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and represents our
share of the revenues earned from our nine vessels operating within
the Unigas Pool, based on agreed pool points.
Operating Revenues – Luna Pool Collaborative
Arrangements. Pool earnings are aggregated and then
allocated (after deducting pool overheads and managers' fees) to
the Pool Participants in accordance with the Pooling Agreement.
Operating revenues - Luna Pool collaborative arrangements was $0.2
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $6.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and represents our
share of pool net revenues generated by the other participant’s
vessels in the pool, prior to the acquisition of the vessels by the
Navigator Greater Bay Joint Venture. This decrease was primarily as
a result of the arrangement ending following the acquisition of the
final vessel Navigator Vega on April 13, 2023.
Brokerage Commissions. Brokerage
commissions, which typically vary between 1.25% and 2.5% of
operating revenues, increased by $0.2 million or 10.6% to $1.7
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $1.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily due to
an increase in operating revenues on which brokerage commissions
are based.
Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses decreased
by $2.2 million or 10.6% to $18.6 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2023, from $20.8 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2022. These voyage expenses are pass through
costs, corresponding to a decrease in operating revenues of the
same amount.
Voyage Expenses – Luna Pool Collaborative
Arrangements. Voyage expenses – Luna Pool
collaborative arrangements were $0.5 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2023, compared to $7.0 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2022. These voyage expenses – Luna Pool
collaborative arrangements represent the other participant’s share
of pool net revenues generated by both our vessels and those of the
Navigator Greater Bay Joint Venture in the pool This decrease was
primarily as a result of the arrangement ending following the
acquisition of the final vessel Navigator Vega on April 13,
2023.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel
operating expenses increased by $4.4 million or 11.3% to $43.0
million for the three months ended June 30, 2023, from $38.6
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Average daily
vessel operating expenses increased by $432 per vessel per day, or
5.4%, to $8,500 vessel per day for the three months ended
June 30, 2023, compared to $8,009 per vessel per day for the
three months ended June 30, 2022.
Depreciation and
Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased
by $0.7 million or 2.3% to $32.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2023 from $31.5 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2022. This increase was primarily as a result of the
acquisition of five additional handysize vessels by the Navigator
Greater Bay Joint Venture offset by the sale of Navigator Orion
during the three months ended June 30, 2023 . Depreciation and
amortization included amortization of capitalized drydocking costs
of $4.4 million and $4.2 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
General and Administrative Costs. General
and administrative costs increased by $0.4 million or 5.1% to
$8.2 million for three months ended June 30, 2023, from $7.8
million for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Profit from Sale of Vessel. Profit from sale of
vessel for three months ended June 30, 2023 was $4.9 million
and related to the sale of the vessel, Navigator Orion on May 2,
2023. No vessels were sold for the three months ended June 30,
2022.
Non-operating Results
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain on Senior Secured
Bonds. The Norwegian Kroner 2018 Bonds were repaid
in December 2022 and no exchange gains and losses were recorded for
the three months ended June 30, 2023. A foreign currency exchange
gain of $8.2 million was incurred for the three months ended June
30, 2022 as a result of the Norwegian Kroner weakening against the
U.S. Dollar,
Unrealized Gains/ (Losses) on Non-designated Derivative
Instruments. The unrealized gain of $3.2
million on non-designated derivative instruments for the
three months ended June 30, 2023 relates to the fair value gain of
our interest rate swaps across a number of our secured term loan
and revolving credit facilities, as a result of an increase in
forward U.S. Libor and SOFR rates relative to the fixed rates
applicable on these secured term loan and revolving credit
facilities. There was an unrealized loss on non-designated
derivative instruments of $5.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2022, which primarily related to the fair value gain of
our interest rate swaps of $4.5 million as a result of increase in
forward U.S. Libor rates offset by a loss in our cross-currency
interest rate swap of $9.8 million, which was due to the weakening
of the Norwegian Kroner against the U.S. Dollar.
Interest Expense. Interest expense
increased by $5.5 million, or 48.5%, to $17.0 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2023, from $11.5 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2022. This is primarily as a result
of increases in U.S. Libor and SOFR rates and a the draw down of
facilities to fund the acquisition of Navigator Vega.
Income Taxes. Income taxes related to
taxes on our subsidiaries incorporated in the United States of
America, as well as other countries around the world where we have
subsidiaries. Income taxes increased to $2.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2023, compared to $0.7 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2022, primarily as a result of current and
deferred taxes on our portion of the profits from the Ethylene
Export Terminal.
Share of Result of Equity Method
Investments. The share of the result of the Company’s
50% ownership in the Export Terminal Joint Venture was an income of
$6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023,
compared to an income of $6.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2022. This decrease is a result of lower gas prices and
therefore reduced throughput rates, despite increased volumes
exported through the Ethylene Export Terminal, of 277,582 tons for
the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 268,444 tons for
the three months ended June 30, 2022,
Non-Controlling Interest. We entered into a
sale and leaseback arrangement in November 2019 with a wholly-owned
special purpose vehicle (“lessor SPV”) of a financial institution.
Although we do not hold any equity investments in this lessor SPV,
we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary of this
entity and accordingly, we are required to consolidate this VIE
into our financial results. The net income attributable to the
financial institution was $0.3 million and is presented as the
non-controlling interest in our financial results for both the
three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022.
In September 2022, the Company entered into the Navigator
Greater Bay Joint Venture to acquire five ethylene vessels,
Navigator Luna, Navigator Solar, Navigator Castor, Navigator
Equator and Navigator Vega. The Joint Venture is owned 60% by the
Company and 40% by Greater Bay Gas. The Navigator Greater Bay Joint
Venture is accounted for as a consolidated subsidiary in our
consolidated financial statements, with the 40% owned by Greater
Bay Gas accounted for as a non-controlling interest. A gain
attributable to Greater Bay Gas of $0.6 million is presented as the
non-controlling interest in our financial results for the three
months ended June 30, 2023.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING

This press release contains certain forward-looking statements
concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations
or economic performance, or assumptions related thereto, including
our financial forecast. In addition, we and our representatives may
from time to time make other oral or written statements that are
also forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in
particular, statements about our plans, strategies, business
prospects, changes and trends in our business and the markets in
which we operate as described in this press release. In some cases,
you can identify the forward-looking statements by the use of words
such as “may,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “expect,” “plan,”
“anticipate,” “intend,” “forecast,” “believe,” “estimate,”
“predict,” “propose,” “potential,” “continue,” “scheduled,” or the
negative of these terms or other comparable terminology.
Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places in this
press release. These risks and uncertainties include but are not
limited to:

Pool collaborative arrangement and our Navigator Greater Bay Joint
Venture; and
- other factors detailed from time to time in other periodic
reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
All forward-looking statements included in this press release
are made only as of the date of this press release. New factors
emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict
all of these factors. Further, we cannot assess the impact of each
such factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or
combination of factors, may cause actual results to be materially
different from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We
expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise any of these
forward-looking statements, whether because of future events, new
information, a change in our views or expectations, or otherwise.
