Navios Maritime’s second-quarter performance is likely to have been aided by the year-over-year increase in the time charter equivalent rate (TCE). TCE refers to voyage and time charter revenues less voyage expenses during a time period divided by the number of available days.

Time charter and voyage revenues are likely to have inched up in the June-end quarter, primarily driven by anincrease in fleet size. Additionally, per the Zacks Consensus Estimate, Navios Maritime’s second-quarter earnings are likely to have increased more than 100% from the year-ago quarter’s reported number to $2.38 per unit.

However, the increase in vessel operating expenses (due to increased fleet) is likely to have hurt the company’s results.
