Grupo TMM, S.A.B. (NYSE: TMM) (BMV: TMM A) ("TMM" or the "Company")
-- Consolidated operating profit improved 101.9% to $10.5 million
-- Consolidated EBITDA grew 49.3% to $23.0 million
-- Free cash flow positive for second consecutive quarter
Grupo TMM, S.A.B. (NYSE: TMM) (BMV: TMM A) ("TMM" or the
"Company"), a Mexican intermodal transportation and logistics
company, reported today its financial results for the first quarter
of 2010.
MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
José F. Serrano, chairman and chief executive officer of Grupo
TMM, said, "Year over year, TMM's first-quarter 2010 consolidated
revenues remained steady, consolidated operating profit doubled and
consolidated EBITDA improved significantly. These results
demonstrate the power of the Company's market position, operational
efficiency and business strategy. Additionally, as in the fourth
quarter of 2009, our consolidated EBITDA in the first quarter of
this year exceeded our financial expenses, resulting in positive
free cash flow and confirming a trend. We believe TMM's cash flows
will continue to improve as we increase our fleet utilization
during 2010 and eliminate non-productive and non-strategic
assets."
Serrano concluded, "Our business strategy to renew our Maritime
fleet with modern and high quality vessels through long-term
financing with no recourse to the Company has positioned us to take
advantage of the increased demand for oil exploration in Mexico's
deep waters. TMM's management remains dedicated to strengthening
the Company's industry leadership and increasing shareholder value
in the long term."
FIRST-QUARTER 2010 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Compared to the same period of last year, consolidated revenues
increased 1.5 percent in the 2010 first quarter, while consolidated
operating profit improved 101.9 percent to $10.5 million from $5.2
million. Higher operating profit in the 2010 first quarter was due
mainly to lower costs and expenses, as well as to improved
operating profit at the Port and Terminals and Maritime divisions
compared to the 2009 period. Additionally, operating margin grew to
12.9 percent in the first quarter of 2010 compared to 6.5 percent
in the first quarter of 2009.
Consolidated EBITDA in the 2010 first quarter increased 49.4
percent, or $7.6 million, to $23.0 million compared to $15.4
million in the same period last year.
At Maritime, first-quarter 2010 revenues fell 6.8 percent
compared to the first quarter of 2009, mainly due to decreased
revenue at product tankers attributable to fewer vessels in
operation and lower average daily rates. However, the Maritime
division's operating profit grew in the first quarter of 2010
compared to the previous year's first quarter, increasing 17.1
percent, or $1.9 million. This increase was mainly attributable to
a 48.1 percent improvement in gross profit at the offshore segment
due to two more average vessels in operation and to higher average
daily rates as compared to the first quarter of 2009.
In the 2010 first quarter, the Ports and Terminals division's
revenue increased 40.9 percent, and operating profit increased from
$0.5 million to $2.0 million, compared to the same period of 2009.
Significantly improved results year over year were mainly due to
volume improvements at the cruise ship and auto handling businesses
in Acapulco, as well as to improved volumes at shipping agencies.
Additionally, the maintenance and repair segment's gross profit
improved to $0.5 million in the 2010 first quarter from a loss of
$13,000 in the 2009 first quarter, due mainly to increased
container volumes at Veracruz, Manzanillo and Mexico City, which
began operations last November.
In the 2010 first quarter, Logistics revenues increased 15.1
percent over the 2009 first quarter, benefitted by a 4.8 percent
appreciation of the peso versus the dollar. Specifically, revenue
increased year over year at warehousing and at auto hauling.
Finally, as part of the Company's program to sell non-strategic
assets, last week the Company sold its minority stake in its
automotive inbound logistics business to its German partner
Schnellecke.
RECLASSIFICATION OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS
The financial information provided in the tables at the end of
this release reflects new organizational responsibilities as part
of the Company's corporate restructuring. Starting in the fourth
quarter of 2009, TMM's Ports and Terminals division's segments
include Acapulco, Tuxpan, shipping agencies, maintenance and repair
and automotive. TMM's Logistics division's segments include
trucking, warehousing, auto hauling and inbound logistics.
Management believes the reclassification of these business segments
more accurately reflect the Company's operations, providing a
consistent measurement tool for evaluating the operating activities
of the Company from period to period.
