                     REPORTS THIRD QUARTER FINANCIAL RESULTS

     o    NAVIOS DELIVERS 52.7% EBITDA GROWTH

     o    NAVIOS SECURES 100% FLEET EMPLOYMENT COVERAGE FOR 2006, 73.3% FOR 2007
          AND 37.0% FOR 2008

     o    NAVIOS ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND OF $0.0666 PER SHARE


PIRAEUS, GREECE, October 30, 2006 - Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. ("Navios")
(NASDAQ: BULK, BULKU, BULKW), a vertically integrated global shipping company
specializing in the dry-bulk shipping industry, today reported its financial
results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006.

Ms. Angeliki Frangou, Chairman and CEO of Navios stated, "We are delighted with
the growth in EBITDA which reflects the success of our flexible business model.
In addition to core shipping revenue, this quarter our risk management group was
able to realize significant profits from short-term moves in the market. Our
strong results validate our business model, whereby we can generate additional
profits leveraging a fully covered fleet."

Ms. Frangou continued, "Moving forward, we will continue to view profits from
our risk management group as a supplement to our core shipping operations and
largely dependant on market conditions."

For the following results and the selected financial data presented herein,
Navios has compiled consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2006 (successor) and for the periods August
26, 2005 to September 30, 2005 (successor, as such period is restated in the
Report on Form 6-K, dated March 22, 2006, to provide for a non-cash adjustment
that related to purchase price allocations), July 1, 2005 to August 25, 2005
(predecessor) and January 1, 2005 to August 25, 2005 (predecessor). Both the
2006 and 2005 information was derived from unaudited financial statements. The
successor period in the consolidated statement of operations is not directly
comparable to the predecessor period because it includes the effects of fair
value purchase accounting adjustments, which however, do not affect EBITDA.

Navios earns revenue from both owned and chartered-in vessels, contracts of
affreightment and port terminal operations.

Revenue from vessels operations for the three month period ended September 30,
2006 was $48.2 million as compared to $49.1 million for the same period in 2005.
This decrease is mainly attributable to the decline in the freight market,
resulting in lower charter-out daily hire rates in the third quarter of 2006 as
compared to those of the same period in 2005, which was partially mitigated by
the increase in the number of vessels owned by the Company (see "Fleet
Employment Profile") resulting in 558 additional available days. More
specifically the available days for the fleet increased 26.9% from 2,075 days in
2005 to 2,633 days in 2006 and the achieved Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rate
per day,



                                      - 1 -


excluding Forward Freight Agreements (FFAs), decreased 22.7% from $20,613 per
day in the three month period ended September 30, 2005 to $15,932 per day for
the same period in 2006.

Revenue from port terminal operations was approximately $3.2 million in the
third quarter of 2006 as compared to $2.7 million during the same period of
2005. The port terminal throughputs in the third quarter of 2006 were 777,000
tons as compared to 664,600 tons in the same period of 2005.

EBITDA was $35.0 million for the third quarter of 2006, and increase of $12.0
million when compared to $23.0 million for the same period of 2005. This 52.7%
increase in EBITDA over the third quarter of 2005 is mainly attributable to (a)
a $13.3 million increase in gain from FFAs, (b) a $4.2 million reduction in time
charter and voyage expenses, due to the redelivery of higher cost chartered-in
vessels and the exercise of purchase options that resulted in expansion of the
owned fleet, and (c) a $0.2 million reduction in general and administrative
expenses. The above overall favorable variance of $17.7 million was mitigated by
the decrease in revenues of $0.8 million (excluding the amortization of
backlogs) for the reasons explained above, the increase in direct vessels
expenses of $3.2 million (excluding the amortization of deferred dry dock and
special survey costs) as a result of the increase of owned vessels and the
increase in other expenses of $1.7 million.

Net income for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $16.9 million as
compared to $15.1 million for the comparable period of 2005. Notwithstanding the
$12.0 million increase in EBITDA, net income increased by $1.8 million due to:
(a) a $3.8 million increase in depreciation due to the expansion of the owned
fleet arising from new acquisitions and exercise of purchase options, as well as
purchase accounting adjustments following the acquisition, (b) a $0.4 increase
in amortization costs related to the intangible assets established on the
Company's balance sheet as part of the acquisition in accordance with purchase
accounting principles under US GAAP and the amortization of dry docking and
special survey costs and (c) a $6.0 million increase in net interest expense due
to the increased indebtedness used to finance the acquisition of the Company and
the purchase of ten additional vessels.

Navios earns revenue from both owned and chartered-in vessels, contracts of
affreightment and port terminal operations.

Revenue from vessels operations for the nine month period ended September 30,
2006 was $146.4 million as compared to $172.2 million for the same period of
2005. This decrease is mainly attributable to a decline in the freight market,
resulting in lower TCE per day in the nine months of 2006 as compared to those
of the same period in 2005. The achieved TCE rate per day, excluding FFAs,
decreased 27.9% from $23,103 per day in the nine month period ended September
30, 2005 to $16,656 per day for the same period in 2006. The decline was
partially mitigated by the available days for the fleet which increased 10.6%
from 6,886 days in 2005 to 7,616 days in 2006. Revenue from port terminal
operations for the nine months of 2006 was $7.0 million as compared to $6.9
million in the same period of 2005. This is attributable to increased
throughputs in the nine months of 2006 of 1,799,500 tons as compared to
1,708,600 tons in the same period of 2005.


                                     - 2 -




EBITDA was $84.2 million for the nine months of 2006 as compared to $63.5
million for the same period of 2005. This $20.7 million increase in EBITDA is
mainly attributable to (a) a $17.4 million increase in gain from FFAs, (b) a
$36.8 million reduction in time charter and voyage expenses, due to the
redelivery of higher cost chartered-in vessels and the exercise of purchase
options that resulted in expansion of the owned fleet, and (c) a $0.2 net gain
from all other categories. The above overall favorable variance of $54.4 million
was mitigated by the decrease in revenues of $25.5 million (excluding the
amortization of backlogs) for the reasons explained above, the increase in
direct vessels expenses of $7.5 million (excluding the amortization of deferred
dry dock and special survey costs) as a result of the increase of owned vessels
and the increase in general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million.

Net income for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 was $26.8 million
as compared to $52.4 million for the comparable period of 2005. Notwithstanding
the $20.7 million increase in EBITDA, net income decreased by $25.6 million due
to: (a) a $11.4 million increase in depreciation due to the expansion of the
owned fleet arising from new acquisitions and exercise of purchase options, as
well as purchase accounting adjustments following the acquisition, (b) an $10.1
million increase in amortization costs related to the intangible assets
established on the Company's balance sheet as part of the acquisition in
accordance with purchase accounting principles under US GAAP and dry docking and
special surveys amortization costs and (c) a $24.8 million increase in net
interest expense due to the increased indebtedness used to finance the
acquisition of the Company and the purchase of ten additional vessels.

Navios' cash and cash equivalents balance, including restricted cash, on
September 30, 2006 was $111.3 million. This amount includes the proceeds from
the exercise of warrants.


TIME CHARTER COVERAGE:

Navios has extended its long-term fleet employment by recently concluding
agreements to charter out vessels for periods ranging from one to three years.
As a result, Navios has currently fixed 100.0%, 73.3%, and 37.0% of its
available days on a charter-out basis for 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively,
equivalent to $163.5 million, $149.0 million, and $92.0 million in revenue,
respectively. The average daily charter-out rate for the fleet is $17,862,
$19,706, and $21,784 for 2006, 2007, and 2008, respectively. The average daily
charter-in rate for the active long term chartered-in vessels is $9,469.


NEW LONG TERM CHARTER-IN VESSEL:

In October 2006, Navios entered into a long-term charter on a Panamax new
building of about 80,000 DWT to be delivered in September 2011. The charter
agreement also includes an option for Navios to purchase the vessel.

PURCHASE OPTION:

Navios intends to exercise its option to acquire vessel Navios Hyperion in
November of 2006, with expected delivery of the vessel in March 2007. Navios
Hyperion is a 2004 built, 75,500 DWT Panamax. The vessel is currently employed
under the Company's long-term chartered fleet. The vessel has a purchase price
of approximately $21.0 million and a current market value estimated at $49.5
million.

As previously announced, in August 2006 Navios exercised its option to acquire
the vessel Navios Star. The vessel is expected to be delivered in December 2006.

Navios has eight additional purchase options exercisable over the next two
years.


                                     - 3 -





DIVIDEND:

Navios' Board of Directors has approved the Company's quarterly cash dividend of
$0.0666 per common share, payable on December 18, 2006 to stockholders of record
as of December 6, 2006.

AVAILABLE DAYS: We define available days for the fleet as the number of the
total calendar days the vessels were in our possession for the relevant period,
after subtracting off-hire days associated with major repairs and scheduled
dry-docks or special surveys. The shipping industry uses available days to
measure the number of days in a relevant period during which vessels should be
capable to generating revenues.

OPERATING DAYS: We define operating days as the number of available days in the
relevant period less the aggregate number of days that our vessels are off-hire
due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry
uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a period during
which vessels actually generate revenues.



FLEET UTILIZATION: We define fleet utilization as the percentage of time that
our vessels were available for revenue generating, and it is calculated by
dividing the number of our operating days during the


                                     - 4 -


relevant period by the number of the available days during that period. The
shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure a company's efficiency in
finding suitable employment for its vessels.

TIME CHARTER EQUIVALENT (TCE): We define TCE per ship per day rate as our voyage
and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during the relevant period
divided by the number of our available days during that period, which is
consistent with industry standards. TCE rate is a shipping industry performance
measure used primary to compare daily earnings generated by vessels on time
charters with daily earning generated by vessels on voyage charters, because
charter hire for vessels on voyage charters are generally not expressed in per
day amounts while charter hire rates for vessels on time charters are generally
expressed in such amounts.


FLEET EMPLOYMENT AND REVENUE:

Following is the "core fleet" employment profile, including newbuildings to be
delivered. The "core fleet" includes the owned vessels and the long term
chartered-in vessels. Navios' core fleet consists of a total of 33 vessels,
totaling 2.18 million deadweight tons. One of these vessels is scheduled to be
delivered to the fleet in November 2006 and five within the next two years.

Currently, the Company operates a fleet of 26 vessels of which 16 are owned and
10 are chartered-in under long term time charters. Following the delivery of
Navios Sagittarius, the acquisition of Navios Star in 2006 and the acquisition
of Navios Hyperion, the Company will operate a fleet of 27 vessels of which 18
will be owned and nine will be chartered-in under long term time charters. The
vessels under the current active fleet aggregate approximately 1.69 million
deadweight tons and have an average age of 4.52 years.

DISCLOSURE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

EBITDA represents net income plus interest and finance costs plus depreciation
and amortization and income taxes, if any. EBITDA is included because it is used
by certain investors to measure a company's financial performance. EBITDA is a
"non-GAAP financial measure" and should not be considered a substitute for net
income, cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow
statement data prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States or as a measure of profitability or liquidity.
EBITDA is presented to provide additional information with respect to the
Company's ability to satisfy its obligations including debt service, capital
expenditures, working capital requirements and determination of dividends. While
EBITDA is frequently used as a measure of operating results and the ability to
meet debt service requirements, the definition of EBITDA used here may not be
comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of
calculation.
