PIRAEUS, GREECE, August 17, 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 second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006.

For the following results and the selected financial data presented herein,
Navios has compiled consolidated statements of operations for the three and six
month periods ended June 30, 2006 (successor) and 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.


SECOND QUARTER 2006 RESULTS (IN 000'S OF US DOLLARS):

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 June 30, 2006
was $50.0 million as compared to $63.1 million for the same period in 2005. This
decrease is mainly attributable to (a) the redelivery of chartered-in vessels
during the second quarter of 2006, following the expiration of these charters,
which was partially mitigated by the increase in the number of vessels owned by
the Company (see "Fleet Employment Profile") and (b) a decline in the freight
market, resulting in lower charter-out daily hire rates in the second quarter of
2006 as compared to those of the same period in 2005. The available days for the
fleet increased 9.1% from 2,377 days in 2005 to 2,593 days in 2006 and the
achieved Time Charter Equivalent (TCE) rate per day, excluding Forward Freight
Agreements (FFAs), decreased 36.4% from $26,249 per day in the three month
period ended June 30, 2005 to $16,687 per day for the same period in 2006.

Revenue from port terminal operations was approximately $2.86 million in the
second quarter of 2006 as compared to $2.90 million during the same period of
2005. The port terminal throughput in the first quarter of 2006 was 697,000 tons
as compared to 710,000 tons in the same period of 2005.

EBITDA was $24.5 million for the second quarter of 2006 as compared to $25.8
million for the same period of 2005. This decrease in EBITDA is mainly
attributable to (a) a decline in revenues as explained above, (b) a gain in FFA
trading of $1.7 million in the second quarter of 2006 versus a $3.8 million gain
in the same period last year, resulting in an unfavorable FFA variance of $2.1
million, (c) a $2.8 million increase in direct vessels expenses due to the
expansion of the owned fleet and (d) a $0.9 million increase in general and
administrative expenses reflecting primarily the effect of Navios' being a
public company. These were mitigated by a reduction in time charter and voyage
expenses from $38.5 million in the second quarter of 2005 to $22.6 million in
the same period of 2006. This was mainly due to the redelivery of higher cost
chartered-in vessels and the exercise of purchase options that resulted in
expansion of the owned fleet.

Net income for the second quarter ended June 30, 2006 was $4.9 million as
compared to $24.3 million for the comparable period of 2005. In addition to the
matters discussed above, the following also contributed to the decrease of net
income: (a) a $4.0 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 $3.5
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 (c) a $10.3 million increase in
interest expense due to the increased indebtedness used to finance the
acquisition of the Company and the purchase of nine 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 six month period ended June 30, 2006 was
$98.1 million as compared to $123.1 million for the same period of 2005. This
decrease is mainly attributable to (a) the redelivery of chartered-in vessels
during the first half of 2006 and 2005, following the expiration of these
charters, which was partially mitigated by the increase in the number of vessels
owned by the Company (see "Fleet Employment Profile") and (b) a decline in the
freight market, resulting in lower charter-out daily hire rates in the first
half of 2006 as compared to those of the same period in 2005. The available days
for the fleet increased 3.6% from 4,811 days in 2005 to 4,983 days in 2006 and
the achieved TCE rate per day, excluding FFAs, decreased 28.7% from $24,177 per
day in the six month period ended June 30, 2005 to $17,237 per day for the same
period in 2006.

Revenue from port terminal operations for the first half of 2006 was $3.9
million as compared to $4.2 million in the same period of 2005. This is
attributable to decreased throughputs in the first half of 2006 of 1,022,500
tons as compared to 1,044,000 tons in the same period of 2005.

EBITDA was $49.1 million for the first half of 2006 as compared to $40.5 million
for the same period of 2005. This $8.6 million increase in EBITDA is mainly
attributable to (a) a gain in Forward Freight Agreement ("FFA") trading of $3.3
million in the first half of 2006 versus a $0.8 million loss in the same period
last year, resulting in a favorable FFA variance of $4.1 million, and (b) a
reduction in time charter and voyage expenses from $75.9 million in the first
half of 2005 to $43.4 million in the same period of 2006. This was mainly due to
the redelivery of higher cost chartered-in vessels and the exercise of purchase
options that resulted in expansion of the owned fleet. The 42.8% reduction in
time charter and voyage expenses more than offsets the decline in revenues as
discussed above and increase in direct vessel expenses due to the expansion of
the owned fleet from 6 vessels in the first half of 2005 to 16 vessels for the
same period in 2006.

Net income for the six month period ended June 30, 2006 was $9.9 million as
compared to $37.3 million for the comparable period of 2005. In addition to the
matters discussed above, the following also contributed to the decrease of net
income: (a) a $7.8 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) an $8.6
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 (c) a $19.0
million increase in interest expense due to the increased indebtedness used to
finance the acquisition of the Company and the purchase of nine additional
vessels.

Navios' cash and cash equivalents balance, including restricted cash, on June
30, 2006 was $124.1 million. This amount includes the proceeds from the exercise
of warrants of approximately $65.5 million.

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 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 PROFILE:

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 32 vessels,
totaling 2.10 million deadweight tons. Two of these vessels are scheduled to be
delivered to the fleet in September 2006 and November 2006 and five within the
next two years.

Currently, the Company operates a fleet of 25 vessels of which 16 are owned and
9 are chartered-in under long term time charters. Following the delivery of
Navios Altair and Navios Sagittarius and the acquisition of Navios Star in 2006,
the Company will operate a fleet of 27 vessels of which 17 will be owned and 10
will be chartered-in under long term time charters. These vessels aggregate
approximately 1.61 million deadweight tons and have an average age of 4.5 years.
Navios has currently fixed 96.0 % and 45.1% of its available days on a
charter-out basis for 2006 and 2007 respectively, equivalent to $154.5 million
and $81.5 million in revenue, respectively. The average daily charter-out rate
for the fleet is $17,579 for 2006. The current average daily charter-in rate for
the active long term chartered-in vessels is $9,646.

ABOUT NAVIOS MARITIME INC.
- --------------------------

On August 25, 2005, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated February 28,
2005, as amended, by and among International Shipping Enterprises, Inc. ("ISE"),
Navios Maritime Holdings Inc. ("Navios") and all the shareholders of Navios, ISE
acquired Navios through the purchase of all of its outstanding shares of common
stock. As a result of this acquisition, Navios became a wholly-owned subsidiary
of ISE. In addition, on August 25, 2005, simultaneously with the acquisition of
Navios, ISE effected a reincorporation from the State of Delaware to the
Republic of the Marshall Islands through a downstream merger with and into its
newly acquired wholly-owned subsidiary, whose name was and continued to be
Navios Maritime Holdings Inc.

Navios owns and operates a fleet of ten Ultra Handymax and six Panamax vessels.
It also time charters-in and operates a fleet of two Ultra Handymax and seven
Panamax vessels that are employed to provide worldwide transportation of bulk
commodities. Furthermore, it also operates a port and transfer terminal located
in Nueva Palmira, Uruguay. The facility consists of docks, conveyors and silo
storage capacity totaling 270,440 tons. The core fleet has a total capacity of
2,106,549 dwt and an average age of approximately 4.5 years. After the exercise
of the purchase option on the Navios Star, the Company has options to acquire
eight chartered-in vessels. Furthermore, it also has seven long term
chartered-in vessels on order which are expected to be delivered at various
dates from September 2006 to May 2008.

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.
