THIRD-QUARTER AND NINE-MONTH 2017 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS Consolidated revenues increased $47.6 million to $607.3 million compared to $559.8 million in the same period of 2016 primarily attributable to improved results in the Offshore segment of the Maritime division due to recovery of the oil industry, as well in the Maintenance and Repair segment of the Ports and Terminals division due to diversification of customers. Year over year, nine-month consolidated revenues were $1,776.0 million compared to $2,122.2 million in the same period last year. The Company believes the recovery of the oil industry will continue due to the progress of Mexican Energy Reform.

Consolidated operating results in the 2017 third quarter reported a loss of $26.4 million compared to a loss of $148.9 million in the same period last year, mainly due to improved results in the Offshore segment of the Maritime division. In the first nine months consolidated operating results recounted a loss of $45.2 million compared to income of $27.2 million in the same period of 2016, attributable to the effects of the crisis in the oil industry in the first part of 2017, which, despite the gradual recovery, continues affecting the domestic market.

In the 2017 third quarter, non-recurrent operations income was $55.0 million due to proceeds related to the sale of assets compared to $14.9 million of expenses in the 2016 period. In 2017 first nine months non-recurrent operations income was $113.5 million compared to $122.2 million in the same period last year.

Consolidated EBITDA improved year over year, to $144.6 million in the third quarter compared to $10.6 million in the same period last year, and to $394.0 million in the nine months compared to $511.4 million in the same period of 2016.

Maritime revenue in the third quarter increased 9.2 percent compared to the same period last year to $492.9 million mainly due to a 58.4 percent improvement in revenues in the Offshore segment year over year, attributable to uninterrupted vessels hires with new participants in the industry, in particular our floating storage and production vessel named "Eco III". Maritime revenues during the first nine months were $1,411.3 million compared to $1,764.8 million in the 2016 period.

Third-quarter Maritime operating results reported a loss of $14.1 million compared to a loss of $65.1 million in the same period last year attributable to a gradual recovery of the energy industry mainly in the Offshore segment. During the first nine months of 2017 Maritime operating income was $14.2 million compared to $108.4 million in the same period of 2016 mainly attributable to lower revenue in the Product Tankers and Chemical Tankers segments due to the dry-docking of two vessels and to the effects of inclement weather in the Gulf of Mexico.

Third-quarter 2017 Maritime EBITDA increased 70.2 percent to $151.4 million from $88.9 million in the 2016 period. EBITDA margin was 31.0 percent in the current third quarter.

Ports and Terminals revenue increased 4.8 percent in the 2017 third quarter to $72.6 million compared to $69.2 million in the same period last year primarily attributable to a $7.7 million improvement in the Maintenance and Repair segment at the operations in Veracruz, Ensenada and Altamira, partially offset by a decrease of $3.8 million in API Acapulco due to lower automotive export volumes. During 2017 first nine months, Ports and Terminals revenue increased 16.9 percent to $256.5 million compared to $219.5 million in the same period of 2016 mainly due to higher volumes in the Maintenance and Repair segment and Agencies.

Third-quarter 2017 Ports and Terminals operating income was $1.6 million compared to $2.9 million in the same period of 2016 mainly attributable to lower automotive export volumes at API Acapulco and lower volumes at the Tampico Terminal. During the first nine months of 2017 Ports and Terminals operating profit increased 34.6 percent to $34.1 million compared to $25.3 million in the same period of 2016.

In the 2017 third quarter Ports and Terminals EBITDA was $4.9 million compared to $6.0 million in the same period last year and 2017 EBITDA margin was 6.7 percent. During 2017 first nine months Ports and Terminals EBITDA was $43.8 million compared to $34.6 million in the same period last year and 2017 EBITDA margin was 17.1 percent.

Warehousing services revenue increased 39.0 percent to $41.9 million compared to $30.1 million in the same period of 2016 mainly attributable to strategic alliances and improved volumes from principal customers. During the first nine months Warehousing services revenue increased 18.2 percent to $108.2 million from $91.6 million in 2016.

Warehousing services has had sequential improvement during 2017, reducing third quarter operating loss to $5.4 million compared to $10.1 million loss in the same period of 2016 mainly due to strategies to decrease costs as well as to diversify customers and sources of income.
