| Increased mineral exports from the Corumba area in Brazil as well as increased exports of agricultural products from Paraguay, Bolivia, and the State of Mato Grosso in Brazil through the Hidrovia river system are creating a positive environment for our iron ore Port Terminal and our Barge business |
| Navios Logistics had a strong performance during Q2 2023, mainly driven by the improved results on the barge segment |
| Market conditions in cabotage continue to be healthy, and our vessels are performing well |
| I am pleased with our results for the second quarter of 2023 during which we reported revenue of $c and net income of $15.5 million |
| The improvement is mostly due to an increase in the equity pickup from Navios Partners and the improved results of Navios South American Logistics |

| We intend to play our part by maximizing the return from our existing assets through innovative logistics solutions that leverage our unique infrastructure assets |
| Turning to the financial results for the six-month period ending June 30, 2023, revenue increased 15% to $146.6 million, adjusted EBITDA increased by 6% to $59.1 million, and adjusted profit increased by $1.7 million to $7.7 million compared to the same period last year |
| Increased exports of iron ore as well as strong soybean and corn crops in Paraguay, drive the demand for barge transportation |
| We believe that the global conditions support continued growth in the Hidrovia region as the world’s requirements evolve, whether for raw materials for green technology, old world requirements for mineral commodities or dynamically changing grain trade patterns, our region will be providing solutions |

| Argentinian crushing plants are importing soybeans from Brazil to cover the shortfall in the supply of raw material due to the failed domestic soybean crop |
| For Q2 2023, the adjusted profit was $6.1 million, 4% lower as compared to the same period last year |
| Port segment EBITDA was $21.1 million, 13% lower as compared to $24.4 million during the same quarter last year |
| We expect the new trade to continue through the year and mitigate partially the impact of the weak Uruguayan soybean production this year |
| The positive impact of higher tariff at the iron ore port and increased iron ore throughput from clients, 4B Mining and Vetria was negatively offset by a lower gain throughout, mainly related to a reduction in the Uruguayan exports |
