MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW “The Company continues its client diversification strategy, cost optimization, as well as efforts to strengthen its balance sheet,” said José F. Serrano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Grupo TMM. “We remain as the best option for Maritime-management transportation and logistics, during the slow recovery of the Mexican economy and energy industry during this first half of 2019.”

“Our breadth of experience in the industry allows Grupo TMM to offer the highest quality services for a wide range of customers in the Mexican and Caribbean energy industry.”

“Exploiting the market’s potential recovery, Grupo TMM is qualified to develop expansion projects concerning hydrocarbons transportation, storage and distribution. We are continually evaluating prospective strategic alliances to achieve mutual benefits in the development of new Company projects.”

Mr. Serrano added, “Group TMM reaffirms its responsibility to its shareholders to increase its investment value. In the same way, the Company maintains its commitment to its personnel and Mexico’s economic development.”

Consolidated revenues in the second quarter of 2019 were $366.5 million, compared to $408.8 million in the second quarter of 2018; mainly due to a decrease in income for the Maritime Division and Ports and Terminals Division due to the market’s slower than expected recovery, and partially offset by a 14.7 percent increase in Warehousing Services.

Maritime revenues in the first six-months of 2019 were $429.8 million, compared to $491.8 million reported in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to a decrease in Offshore segment, the reduction of the Maritime Management Fee, as well as a lower number of voyages in Parcel Tankers segment, partially offset by a higher number of calls and improved mix in Bulk Carriers segment.

Second-quarter 2019 Maritime operating profit was $52.6 million compared to $58.8 million in the same period last year, attributable to the results in the Maritime Management segment, partially offset by a cost reduction in the Offshore segment due to the disincorporation of one vessel, as well as a higher number of calls in Tugboats segment.

Ports and Terminals revenue was $96.3 million in the second quarter of 2019, compared to $109.3 million in the same period 2018, mainly due to a decrease in the Maintenance and Repair segment, attributable to a reduction of operations in Veracruz, partially offset by an increase of volumes of gravel and improved rates in Tuxpan, and a higher number of arrivals in the Shipping Agencies segment. Ports and Terminals revenue for the first six-month period of 2019 was $210.0 million compared to $223.6 million reported in the same period of last year.

Ports and Terminals operating profit in the second quarter of 2019 was $0.7 million, compared to $14.0 million in the same period of 2018, mainly due to a decrease in the Maintenance and Repair segment in Veracruz, partially offset by an increase of volumes of gravel in Tuxpan.
