Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “Navigator Holdings,” “our,” “we,” “us” and the “Company” refer to Navigator Holdings PLC, an Isle of Man corporation, with regard to all periods prior to its redomiciliation in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and to Navigator Holdings Ltd., a Marshall Islands corporation, with regard to all periods after its redomiciliation in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. All references in this report to our wholly-owned subsidiary “Navigator Gas L.L.C.” refer to Navigator Gas Transport PLC, an Isle of Man corporation, with regard to all periods prior to its redomiciliation in the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and to Navigator Gas L.L.C., a Marshall Islands limited liability company, with regard to all periods after its redomiciliation in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. As used in this report, unless the context indicates or otherwise requires, references to “our fleet” or “our vessels” include (i) 30 vessels we owned and operated as of March 31, 2016 and one newbuilding delivered to us from Jiangnan Shipyard (Group) Co. Ltd. in China, or “Jiangnan,” on April 14, 2016, (ii) two newbuildings expected to be delivered from Jiangnan between July and September of 2016, or the “2016 newbuildings,” and (iii) two newbuilding expected to be delivered from Jiangnan and three newbuildings expected to be delivered from Hyundai Mipo Dockyard Co. Ltd, in South Korea, or “HMD,” between January and July 2017, or the “2017 newbuildings.”

This section should be read in conjunction with the interim financial statements and notes thereto presented elsewhere in this report, as well as the historical consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Navigator Holdings Ltd. included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2015, or our 2015 Annual Report, filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on March 3, 2016. Among other things, those financial statements include more detailed information regarding the basis of presentation for the following information. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, and are presented in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise indicated.

In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, we identified an immaterial error in the treatment of interest costs in relation to vessel newbuildings. Certain amounts recorded as an interest expense should have been capitalized, rather than expensed. The error resulted in a prior overstatement of interest expense and an understatement of net income, book values of vessels under construction and vessels in operation, retained earnings and total stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the interim periods within those years, as well as the first three quarters of 2015, in the related financial statements. We have amended the financial statements to correct such items. Accordingly, the financial data and discussion of our financial condition and results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2015 included in this report reflect revised financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Overview

We are the owner and operator of the world’s largest fleet of handysize liquefied gas carriers. We provide international and regional seaborne transportation services of liquefied petroleum gas, or “LPG,” petrochemical gases and ammonia for energy companies, industrial users and commodity traders. These gases are transported in liquefied form, by applying cooling and/or pressure, to reduce volume by up to 900 times depending on the cargo, making their transportation more efficient and economical. Vessels in our fleet are capable of loading, discharging and carrying cargoes across a range of temperatures from ambient to minus 104° Celsius and pressures from 1 bar to 6.4 bar.

Recent Developments

Following the delivery of Navigator Ceto from Jiangnan on January 15, 2016 and Navigator Copernico from Jiangnan on April 14, 2016, we have seven vessels in our newbuilding program, two of which are expected to be delivered in 2016 and five in 2017.

On January 27, 2016, Navigator Aries left Keppel Shipyard in Singapore following the completion of repairs required as a result of the collision that it was involved in near Surabaya, Indonesia in June 2015. On March 22, 2016, Navigator Aries entered into a two year time charter with Pertamina. A total of $4.7 million of repair costs had been reimbursed to us by our hull & machinery insurance as of March 31, 2016, with a remaining $5.7 million expected to be reimbursed to us, subject to a $0.1 million deductible.

Factors Affecting Comparability

You should consider the following factors when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects:

•

We have been and are significantly increasing our fleet size. Our historical financial performance and future prospects have been and will be significantly impacted by the increasing size of our fleet.

•

Historical Fleet Size. During 2015 we took delivery of Navigator Triton in January 2015, Navigator Umbrio in April 2015, Navigator Centauri in August 2015 and Navigator Ceres in October 2015, and we sold Navigator Mariner in August 2015, bringing our total fleet size to 29 vessels as of December 31, 2015, and resulting in a weighted average fleet size of 27.8 vessels during the 2015 year. Following the delivery on January 15, 2016 of Navigator Ceto our fleet size increased to 30 vessels as of March 31, 2016, with a weighted average of 29.8 vessels for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

•

Future Fleet Size. After the end of the first quarter 2016, we took delivery of the newbuilding Navigator Copernico on April 14, 2016. In addition, we have a newbuilding orderbook of seven newbuilding gas carriers, of which two midsize vessels are expected to be delivered in 2016, and three midsize and two handysize vessels are expected to be delivered in 2017.

Given the increase in the number of operating vessels in our fleet, our historical financial statements reflect, and in the future will reflect, significantly different levels of ownership and operating days as well as different levels of voyage expenses, vessel operating expenses, interest expense and other related costs.

•

We will have different financing arrangements. We have entered into secured term loan facilities and a revolving credit facility and issued senior unsecured notes to finance the acquisitions of vessels and the construction of all but one of our remaining newbuildings. Please read “—Secured Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility” and “—Senior Unsecured Bonds.” We may enter into alternative lending arrangements for the bank loans which expire or for the remaining single newbuildings not currently subject to a loan facility.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2015

The following table compares our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2015			Three Months Ended March 31, 2016			Percentage Change
	(in thousands, except percentages)
Operating revenue	$	74,197		$	76,375			2.9	%

Operating revenue. Operating revenue increased by $2.2 million or 2.9% to $76.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $74.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was principally due to:

•

an increase in operating revenue of approximately $8.4 million attributable to an increase in the weighted average number of vessels from 26.9 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 to 29.8 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and a corresponding increase in vessel ownership days by 294 days, or 12.1 %, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015;

•

an increase in operating revenue of approximately $1.0 million attributable to improved average charter rates, which rose to an average of approximately $899,194 per vessel per calendar month ($29,561 per day) for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to an average of approximately $887,550 per vessel per calendar month ($29,180 per day) for the three months ended March 31, 2015;

•

a decrease in operating revenue of approximately $7.4 million attributable to a decrease in fleet utilization from 97.0% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 to 87.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily as a result of an increase in the number of idle days as a result of a softening of the market and the effects of the collision of Navigator Aries;

•

an increase in operating revenue of approximately $0.2 million relating to a relative increase in the cost and duration of voyage charters during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015; and

The following table presents selected operating data for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016, which we believe are useful in understanding our operating revenue.


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2015			Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
Fleet Data:
Weighted average number of vessels		26.9			29.8
Ownership days		2,422			2,716
Available days		2,379			2,676
Operating days		2,307			2,344
Fleet utilization		97.0	%		87.6	%
Average daily time charter equivalent rate (*)	$	29,180		$	29,561

Time Charter Equivalent: Time charter equivalent, or “TCE”, rate is a measure of the average daily revenue performance of a vessel. For time charters, we calculate TCE by dividing total operating revenues, less any voyage expenses, by the number of operating days for the relevant time period. Under a time charter, the charterer pays substantially all of the vessel voyage related expenses. However, we may incur voyage related expenses when positioning or repositioning vessels before or after the period of a time charter, during periods of commercial waiting time or while off-hire during drydocking. TCE rate is a standard 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.

Brokerage Commissions. Brokerage commissions decreased by 7.9% to $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Voyage Expenses. Voyage expenses increased by 3.2% to $7.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This was primarily due to a small increase in the number of voyage charters which resulted in higher voyage costs during the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased by 24.7 % to $22.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as the number of vessels in our fleet increased. Daily vessel operating expenses increased by $824 per day, or 7.4% to $8,164 per vessel per day for the three months ended March 31, 2016, compared to $7,605 per vessel per day for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The daily increase in vessel operating expenses was primarily due to additional operating expenditure incurred on repairs and maintenance of some of our older vessels during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by 13.9 % to $14.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $12.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to an increase in our fleet size. Depreciation and amortization expense included amortization of capitalized drydocking costs of $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Other Operating Results

General Administration Costs. General administration costs increased by $0.3 million or 11.4% to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in general administration costs was due to growth in the number of employees to handle the management of the increase in the number of vessels in our fleet.

Other Corporate Expenses. Other corporate expenses increased by $0.2 million, or 51.8%, to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $1.0 million, or 14.5%, to $7.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, from $6.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. This increase was primarily due to additional amounts drawn down on the loan facility since March 31, 2015 associated with delivery of newbuild vessels. Interest capitalized on newbuild installments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $1.2 million, an increase of $0.1 million from the $1.1 million of interest capitalized for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Write off of Deferred Financing Costs. The write off of deferred financing costs of $1.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to costs associated with one of our previous secured term loan facilities that was refinanced during the three months to March 31, 2015. No loan refinancing occurred in the three months ended to March 31, 2016.

Income Taxes. Income tax relates to taxes on our subsidiaries incorporated in the United Kingdom and Singapore. Our United Kingdom subsidiary earns management and other fees from affiliates, and our Singaporean subsidiary earns interest from loans to our variable interest entity in Indonesia. The main corporate tax rates are 20% and 17% in the United Kingdom and Singapore, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we incurred taxes of $193,561, as compared to taxes of $234,298 for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity and Cash Needs

Our primary uses of funds have been capital expenditures for the acquisition and construction of vessels, voyage expenses, vessel operating expenses, general and administrative costs, expenditures incurred in connection with ensuring that our vessels comply with international and regulatory standards, financing expenses and repayments of bank loans. Our primary sources of funds have been cash from operations, bank borrowings, proceeds from our initial public offering, equity investments from existing shareholders, and proceeds from a bond issuance. We are required to maintain certain minimum liquidity amounts in order to comply with our various debt instruments. Please see “— Secured Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility.”

In addition to operating expenses, our medium-term and long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to the construction of newbuildings and potential future acquisitions. At March 31, 2016, we had contracted eight newbuildings for delivery by July 2017 for an aggregate contracted price of $509.1 million, the details of which are as follows:


Vessels	CBM		Shipyard	Contract price		Instalments paid as at March 31, 2016		Funds available from existing credit facilities
				(in millions)
Navigator Copernico*		22,000	Jiangnan	$	44.0	$	8.8	$	31.2
Navigator Aurora		35,000	Jiangnan		77.4		23.2		54.7
Navigator Eclipse		35,000	Jiangnan		78.4		23.5		54.7
Navigator Nova		35,000	Jiangnan		78.4		23.5		54.7
Navigator Prominence		35,000	Jiangnan		78.4		23.5		54.7
Navigator Yauza		22,000	HMD		51.0		20.4		35.6
Navigator Luga		22,000	HMD		51.0		20.4		35.6
Hull No. 8234		38,000	HMD		50.5		10.0		—

Total				$	509.1	$	153.3	$	321.2

*	We borrowed $31.2 million available under one of the secured term loan facilities on April 14, 2016 to partially finance the delivery of the Navigator Copernico.

As set forth in the table above, we have financed the purchase prices of all of the remaining newbuildings, except for Hull No. 8234, through existing senior term loan facilities and our revolving credit facility. We expect to finance the purchase price of Hull No. 8234 through internally generated funds and debt financings. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our medium-term and long-term liquidity needs will be from cash from operations and debt and/or equity financings. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

Ongoing Capital Expenditures

Liquefied gas transportation is a capital-intensive business, requiring significant investment to maintain an efficient fleet and to stay in regulatory compliance.

We are required to drydock each vessel once every five years until it reaches 15 years of age, after which we are required to drydock the applicable vessel every two and one-half to three years. Drydocking each vessel takes approximately 20-30 days. Drydocking days generally include approximately 5-10 days of travel time to and from the drydocking shipyard and approximately 15-20 days of actual drydocking time. Seven of our vessels are expected to undergo scheduled drydocking during 2016, one of which has completed its drydocking as of March 31, 2016.

We spend significant amounts of funds for scheduled drydocking (including the cost of classification society surveys) of each of our vessels. As our vessels age and our fleet expands, our drydocking expenses will increase. We estimate the current cost of the five-year drydocking of one of our vessels is approximately $0.8 million, the ten-year drydocking cost is approximately $1.2 million, and the 15 and 17 year drydocking costs are approximately $1.5 million each. Ongoing costs for compliance with environmental regulations are primarily included as part of our drydocking, such as the recent requirement to install ballast water treatment plants, and classification society survey costs, with a balance included as a component of our operating expenses. We are not aware of any regulatory changes or environmental liabilities that we expect to have a material impact on our current or future results of operations.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our cash and cash equivalents provided by (used in) operating, financing and investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2016:


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2015			Three Months Ended March 31, 2016
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	27,726		$	17,118
Net cash used in investing activities		(52,230	)		(42,710	)
Net cash provided by financing activities		12,491			14,944
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents		(12,013	)		(10,648	)

Operating Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016, decreased to $17.1 million, from $27.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, a decrease of 38.3%. This $10.6 million decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily due to lower net income, increased payment of dry docking costs and movements in working capital.

Net cash flow from operating activities depends upon the size of our fleet, charter rates attainable, fluctuations in working capital balances, repairs and maintenance activity, changes in interest rates and foreign currency rates.

Investing Cash Flows. Net cash used in investing activities of $42.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily represents $36.0 million for payments made to Jiangnan shipyard, representing a final installment on the delivery of Navigator Ceto, along with $3.0 million of other costs including capitalized interest of $1.3 million associated with newbuildings and $8.4 million for payments of repair costs for Navigator Aries, offset by $4.7 million received from the insurances in relation to the collision.

Net cash used in investing activities of $52.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily represents $49.3 million for payments made to Jiangnan shipyard, representing the final instalment of delivery of Navigator Triton and instalment payments for two of the four 22,000 cbm newbuildings along with $3.2 million of other costs associated with newbuildings including $1.0 million of capitalized interest and an offset of $0.3 million receipts from the insurance claim for the fire on Navigator Capricorn.

Financing Cash Flows. Net cash provided by financing activities was $14.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily consisting of $31.2 million drawn from a secured term loan facility to finance the delivery installment of Navigator Ceto, offset by $16.1 million in quarterly loan repayments and a payment of $0.1 million in financing costs associated with the December 2015 revolving loan facility.

Net cash used in financing activities was $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily consisting of $30.0 million drawn on a bank loan facility associated with the delivery and installment of a new building, offset by $15.2 million in regular loan repayments and a $2.3 million in financing costs associated with entering into a new loan facility.

Secured Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility

General. Navigator Gas L.L.C., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and certain of our vessel-owning subsidiaries have entered into a series of secured term loan facilities as summarized in the table below. For additional information regarding our secured term loan facilities and revolving credit facility, please read “Item 5–Operating and Financial Review and Prospects–B. Liquidity and Capital Resources–Secured Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Facility” in our 2015 Annual Report.


Facility agreement date	Credit Facility amount		Amount outstanding		Available amounts undrawn at March 31, 2016			Interest rate	Loan Maturity date

Total	$	1,098.1	$	520.4	$	351.2

*	We borrowed $31.2 million under the January 2015 term loan facility on April 14, 2016 to fund the delivery of the Navigator Copernico. As of such date, there is no additional borrowing capacity under such term loan facility.

The borrowers are required to deliver semi-annual compliance certificates, which include valuations of the vessels securing the applicable facility from an independent ship broker. Upon delivery of the valuation, if the market value of the collateral vessels is less than 130% of the outstanding indebtedness under the April 2011 facility or 135% of the outstanding indebtedness under the other facilities, the borrowers must either provide additional collateral or repay any amount in excess of 130% or 135% of the market value of the collateral vessels, as applicable.

Financial Covenants. The secured term loan facilities contain financial covenants requiring the borrowers, among other things, to ensure that:

•

the ratio of Net Debt to Total Capitalization (each as defined in the applicable secured term loan facility) is no greater than 0.60 to 1.00;

•

the borrowers have liquidity (including undrawn available lines of credit with a maturity exceeding 12 months) of no less than (i) between $10.0 million and $25.0 million, as applicable, or (ii) 5% of Net Debt or total debt, as applicable, whichever is greater;

•

the ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense (each as defined in the applicable secured term loan facility), on a trailing four quarter basis, is no less than 3.00 to 1.00;

•

the borrower maintains a minimum ratio of shareholder equity to total assets of 30%; and

•

the current assets of the borrower exceed the current liabilities (excluding current liabilities attributable to the senior unsecured bonds or the senior term loans) at all times.

Restrictive Covenants. The secured term loan facilities provide that the borrowers may not pay dividends to us out of operating revenues generated by the vessels securing the indebtedness if an event of default has occurred or is continuing. The secured term loan facilities and revolving credit facility also limit the borrowers from, among other things, incurring indebtedness or entering

into mergers and divestitures. The secured term loan facilities also contain general covenants that will require the borrowers to maintain adequate insurance coverage and to maintain their vessels. In addition, the secured term loan facilities include customary events of default, including those relating to a failure to pay principal or interest, a breach of covenant, representation and warranty, a cross-default to other indebtedness and non-compliance with security documents.

As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants under the secured term loan facilities.

Senior Unsecured Bonds

General. On December 18, 2012, we issued senior unsecured bonds in an aggregate principal amount of $125.0 million with Norsk Tillitsmann ASA as the bond trustee. The proceeds of the senior unsecured bonds were used to partially finance the acquisition of the A.P. Møller vessels. The senior unsecured bonds are governed by Norwegian law and listed on the Nordic ABM which is operated and organized by Oslo Børs ASA.

Interest. Interest on the senior unsecured bonds is payable at a fixed rate of 9.0% per annum, semi-annually on each June 18 and December 18.

Maturity. The senior unsecured bonds mature in full on December 18, 2017.

Optional Redemption. We may redeem the senior unsecured bonds, in whole or in part, beginning December 18, 2015. Senior unsecured bonds redeemed from December 18, 2015 to December 17, 2016, shall be redeemed at 104% of par, senior unsecured bonds redeemed from December 18, 2016 to June 17, 2017, shall be redeemed at 102% of par and senior unsecured bonds redeemed from June 18, 2017, to the day prior to the maturity date, shall be redeemed at 101% of par.

Additionally, upon the occurrence of a “Change of Control Event” (as defined in the senior unsecured bond agreement), the holders of senior unsecured bonds have an option to force the issuer to repay such holder’s outstanding bonds at 101% of par.

Financial Covenants. The senior unsecured bond agreement contains financial covenants requiring us, among other things, to ensure that:

•

we and our subsidiaries maintain a minimum liquidity of no less than the greater of (i) $12.5 million and (ii) 5% of Total Interest-Bearing Debt (as defined in the senior unsecured bond agreement);

•

we and our subsidiaries maintain a positive working capital amount;

•

we and our subsidiaries maintain an Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the senior unsecured bond agreement) of not less than 3.0;

•

we and our subsidiaries maintain an Equity Ratio (as defined in the senior unsecured bond agreement) of at least 30%; and

•

we and our subsidiaries ensure that the sum of the market value of (i) our vessels plus (ii) any amounts in any escrow account in favor of the bond trustee are at least 120% of the Total Interest-Bearing Debt.

Our compliance with the covenants listed above is measured as of the end of each fiscal quarter, except for the final ratio, which is measured semi-annually on June 30 and December 31 of each year.

Restrictive Covenants. The senior unsecured bond agreement provides that we may declare dividends so long as such dividends do not exceed 50% of our consolidated net profits after taxes and we have an Equity Ratio of 35% after giving pro forma effect to such distribution. The senior unsecured bond agreement also limits us and our subsidiaries from, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness, entering into mergers and divestitures, engaging in transactions with affiliates or incurring any additional liens. In addition, the senior unsecured bond agreement includes customary events of default, including those relating to a failure to pay principal or interest, a breach of covenant, false representation and warranty, a cross-default to other indebtedness, the occurrence of a material adverse effect, or our insolvency or dissolution.

As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants under our senior unsecured bond agreement.

As part of our growth strategy, we will continue to consider strategic opportunities, including the acquisition of additional vessels. We may choose to pursue such opportunities through internal growth or joint ventures or business acquisitions. We intend to finance any future acquisitions through various sources of capital, including credit facilities, debt borrowings and the issuance of additional shares of common stock.

Critical Accounting Estimates

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with U.S. GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. For a description of our material accounting policies, please read Note 2 (Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to our audited historical consolidated financial statements included in our 2015 Annual Report.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03 “Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”, which intends to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability, consistent with debt discounts. Historically, we presented deferred debt issuance costs, or fees directly related to directly issuing debt, as long-term assets on our consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2016, we adopted the guidance codified in ASU 2015-03, as described in Note 1 (Basis of Presentation) to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included this report. Upon adoption, the Company applied the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The reclassification upon adoption of the new guidance did not impact net income as previously reported or any prior amounts reported on our statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows. The effect of the retrospective application of this change in accounting principle on our balance sheet as of the year ended December 31, 2015 resulted in a reduction of total non-current assets and total assets in the amount of $10.1 million, with a corresponding decrease of $7.2 million in long-term debt, net and total non-current liabilities and a decrease of $2.9 million in current portion of long-term debt net and total current liabilities. Please see Note 4 (Secured Term Loan Facilities and Revolving Credit Agreement) to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included this report.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02 “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (VIE), and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. It also eliminates the VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied to certain investment companies and similar entities. The new guidance excludes money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and similar entities from the U.S. GAAP consolidation requirements. Historically, we have consolidated 100% of our VIE, PT Navigator Khatulistiwa, for which we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary, i.e. we have a controlling financial interest in this entity. We own 49% of our VIE’s common stock, all of its secured debt and have voting control. All economic interests in the residual net assets reside with us. During the first quarter of 2016, we adopted the guidance codified in ASU 2015-02, as described in Note 1 (Basis of Presentation) to our unaudited consolidated financial statements included this report. Upon adoption, there was no need for retrospective amendments to our financial statements, as we consolidated 100% of the VIE in our financial statements for all applicable prior periods.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency fluctuations, as well as inflation. We may in the future use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risks, but will not use these financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

Historically, we have been subject to limited market risks relating to changes in interest rates because we did not have significant amounts of floating rate debt outstanding. Navigator Gas L.L.C., our wholly-owned subsidiary, and certain of our vessel-owning subsidiaries are parties to secured term loan facilities that bear interest at an interest rate of US LIBOR plus 210 to 350 basis points. A variation in LIBOR of 100 basis points would result in a variation of $5.2 million in annual interest paid on our indebtedness outstanding as at March 31, 2016, under the secured term loan facilities.

We invest our surplus funds with reputable financial institutions, with original maturities of no more than six months, in order to provide the Company with flexibility to meet all requirements for working capital and for capital investments.

We do not currently use interest rate swaps to manage the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows, but we may elect to do so in the future.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Our primary economic environment is the international shipping market. This market utilizes the U.S. Dollar as its functional currency. Consequently, virtually all of our revenues are in U.S. Dollars. Our expenses, however, are in the currency invoiced by each supplier, and we remit funds in the various currencies invoiced. We incur some vessel operating expenses, including some crewing costs, and general and administrative costs in foreign currencies and there is a risk that currency fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the value of our cash flows. We have not entered into any hedging transactions to mitigate our exposure to foreign currency exchange rate risk.

Inflation

Certain of our operating expenses, including crewing, insurance and drydocking costs, are subject to fluctuations as a result of market forces.

Increases in bunker (fuel and oil) costs could have a material effect on our future operations if the number of vessel employment contracts for voyage charters or Contracts of Affreightment (“COA”) increases. In the case of the 30 vessels owned as of March 31, 2016, 15 were on time charter and as such it is the charterers who pay for the fuel on those vessels. If our vessels are employed under voyage charters or COAs, freight rates are generally sensitive to the price of fuel. However, a sharp rise in bunker prices may have a temporary negative effect on our results since freight rates generally adjust only after prices settle at a higher level.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Navigator Holdings Ltd. (the “Company”), unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2016; the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015; the statement of stockholders equity for the three months ended March 31, 2016; and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for interim reporting. As such, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. It is recommended that these financial statements be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2015 included in our Form 20-F filed on March 3, 2016 The results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full 2016 fiscal year or any other future periods.

The Company historically presented deferred debt issuance costs, or fees directly related to directly issuing debt, as long-term assets on the consolidated balance sheets. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted guidance codified in ASU 2015-03 “Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs”. The guidance simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring debt issuance costs to be presented as a deduction from the corresponding liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs is not affected. Therefore, these costs will continue to be amortized as interest expense using the effective interest method pursuant to ASC 835-30-35-2 through 35-3. Upon adoption, the Company applied the new guidance retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

The company has historically consolidated 100% of its VIE, PT Navigator Khatulistiwa, for which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, i.e. it has a controlling financial interest in this entity. The Company owns 49% of the VIE’s common stock, all of its secured debt and has voting control. All economic interests in the residual net assets reside with the Company. During the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted guidance codified in ASU 2015-02 “Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis”, which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (a) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (b) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (VIE), and (c) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. It also eliminates the VIE consolidation model based on majority exposure to variability that applied to certain investment companies and similar entities. The new guidance excludes money market funds that are required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and similar entities from the U.S. GAAP consolidation requirements. Upon adoption, there has been no need for retrospective amendments as the company has consolidated 100% of the VIE to all prior periods presented in the financial statements.

Amendment of Prior Year Financial Information to Correct an Immaterial Error:

In connection with the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company identified an immaterial error in the treatment of interest costs in relation to vessel newbuildings. Certain amounts recorded as an interest expense should have been capitalized, rather than expensed. The error resulted in

a prior overstatement of interest expense and an understatement of net income, book values of vessels under construction and vessels in operation, retained earnings and total stockholders’ equity for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2013 and 2014 and the interim periods within those years, as well as the first three quarters of 2015, in the related financial statements. The Company has amended the financial statements to correct such items, and the following financial data for the three months ended March 31, 2015, has been revised in accordance with accounting guidance presented in ASC 250, SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 Materiality and SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 considering the effects of prior period misstatements. The Company assessed the materiality of the error for the year ended December 31, 2015 and concluded that it was not material to any of our previously issued financial statements taken as a whole.

The following table presents the effects of such revisions on the Company’s previously reported financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 will apply to both types of leases – capital (or finance) leases and operating leases. According to the new Accounting Standard, lessees will be required to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted. The company is currently assessing the impact that adopting this new accounting guidance will have on its consolidated financial statement and footnotes disclosures.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This standard requires management to assess an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. Before this new standard, no accounting guidance existed for management on when and how to assess or disclose going concern uncertainties. The amendments are effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early application is permitted. We plan to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2017. The adoption of the new standard is not expected to have any impact on Navigator Holdings’ results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

On January 15, 2016, Navigator Ceto, the third of four 22,000 cubic meter semi-refrigerated liquefied gas carriers being built at Jiangnan shipyard in China for a contract price of $44.0 million, was delivered.

Navigator Aries left the ship yard on January 27, 2016 after having incurred repair costs of $10.0 million. A total of $4.7 million of repair costs had been reimbursed as of March 31, 2016, with a remaining $5.7 million expected to be reimbursed by our hull & machinery insurance, subject to a $0.1 million deductible. The Company does not have loss of hire insurance and, therefore, the revenue lost from the Navigator Aries charter with Pertamina may not be recoverable for the duration of the repairs. Navigator Aries entered into a two year time charter with Pertamina on March 22, 2016.

The net book value of vessels that serve as collateral for the Company’s bank loans was $1.2 billion at March 31, 2016.

The reclassification upon adoption of ASU 2015-03 “Interest — Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” does not impact net income as previously reported or any prior amounts reported on the Statements of Operations or the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The effect of the retrospective application of this change in accounting principle on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of the year ended December 31, 2015 resulted in a reduction of Total non-current assets and Total assets in the amount of $10.1 million, with a corresponding decrease of $7.2 million in Long-term debt, net and Total non-current liabilities and a decrease of $2.9 million in Current portion of long-term debt net and Total current liabilities.

5.	Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Accounted For at Fair Value

The principal financial assets of the Company at March 31, 2016 and December 31 2015 consist of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and accounts receivable. The principal financial liabilities of the Company consist of accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, secured term loan facilities, a revolving credit facility and the 9% senior unsecured bond issue.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair value due to the short-term nature or liquidity of these financial instruments.

The 9% unsecured bond issue is classified as a level two liability and the fair value has been calculated based on the most recent trades of the bond on the Oslo Børs prior to the March 31, 2016.

The fair value of secured term loan facilities and revolving credit facility is estimated based on average of the current rates offered to the Company for all debt facilities. The carrying value approximates the fair market value for the floating rate loans and revolving credit facilities due to their variable interest rate, being LIBOR. This has been categorized at level 3 on the fair value measurement hierarchy.

F-9

The following table includes the estimated fair value and carrying value of those assets and liabilities.


	December 31, 2015								March 31, 2016
Fair Value Hierarchy Level	Fair Value Hierarchy Level		Carrying Amount Asset (Liability)			Fair Value Asset (Liability)			Carrying Amount Asset (Liability)			Fair Value Asset (Liability)

	March 31, 2015		March 31, 2016
Basic weighted average number of shares		55,349,422		55,365,557
Effect of dilutive potential share options:		249,536		378,440

Diluted weighted average number of shares		55,598,958		55,743,997

On March 17, 2015, the Company granted 158,885 share options under the 2013 Long Term Incentive Plan (“the 2013 Plan”) to officers and employees of the Company. As of March 31, 2016, 1,500 of these options had been forfeited.

On April 14, 2014, the Company granted 197,055 share options under the 2013 Plan, and on October 14, 2014 the Company granted an additional 30,000 share options under the 2013 Plan, to officers and employees of the Company. As of March 31, 2016, 6,000 of these share options had been forfeited.

The diluted effect of 378,440 share options for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is related to the 378,440 of unvested share options outstanding at March 31, 2016. The shares of the Company’s common stock are trading on the New York Stock Exchange, under the ticker symbol “NVGS.”

7.	Share-Based Compensation

On March 17, 2015 the Company granted 16,854 shares under the 2013 Plan to members of the Board of Directors with a weighted average grant value of $17.80 per share. These shares vested on the first anniversary of the grant date at a fair value of $289,889.

On March 29, 2016 the Company granted 22,782 shares under the 2013 Plan to certain members of the Board of Directors which vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. On the same date the Company granted 40,623 shares under the Plan to employees of the Company which vest on the third anniversary of the grant date. All of these shares have a weighted average grant value of $15.80.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, 76,854 shares which were previously granted at a weighted average grant value of $11.71 vested at a fair value of $1,258,889.

F-10

Restricted share grant activity for the year ended December 31, 2015 and three months ended March 31, 2016 was as follows:


	Number of non-vested restricted shares			Weighted average grant date fair value		Weighted average remaining contractual term		Aggregate intrinsic value
Balance as of January 1, 2015		172,263		$	8.50		0.88 years		3,627,859
Granted		16,854			17.80
Vested		(67,646	)		11.81

Balance as of December 31, 2015		121,471		$	11.28		0.29 years	$	1,658,079
Granted		63,405			15.80
Vested		(76,854	)		11.71

Balance as of March 31, 2016		108,022		$	13.63		1.38 years	$	1,744,555

Using the straight-line method of expensing the restricted stock grants, the weighted average estimated value of the shares calculated at the date of grant is recognized as compensation costs in the Statement of Income over the period to the vesting date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company recognized $156,860 in share-based compensation costs relating to share grants (three months ended March 31, 2015: $302,001). As of March 31, 2016, there was a total of $1,024,379 unrecognized compensation costs relating to the expected future vesting of share-based awards (December 31, 2015: $179,440) which are expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.38 years (December 31, 2015: 0.29 years).

All options are not exercisable until the third anniversary of the grant date and can be exercised up to tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The fair value of each option is calculated on the date of grant based on the Black-Scholes valuation model using the assumptions listed in the table below. Expected volatilities are based on the historic volatility of the Company’s stock price and other factors. The Company does not currently pay dividends and it is assumed this will not change. The expected term of the options granted is anticipated to be between 4 and 6.5 years. The risk free rate is the rate adopted from the U.S. Government Zero Coupon Bond.

Assumptions used to determine the fair value of options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were as follows:


Grant Date	April 14, 2014			October 14, 2014			March 17, 2015
Expected volatility		25.0	%		35.0	%		39.0	%
Expected dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected term (in years)		6.5			4 - 6.5			4 - 6.5
Risk free rate		2.17	%		1.25% - 1.74	%		1.52% - 1.84	%
