Grupo TMM Reports Fourth-Quarter and Full-Year 2012 Financial Results (In Millions of Mexican Pesos)

MEXICO CITY--(Marketwire - Apr 1, 2013) - Grupo TMM, S.A.B. (OTC: GTMAY) (BMV: TMM A) ("TMM" or the "Company"), a Mexican intermodal transportation and logistics Company, reported today its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2012.

FOURTH-QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR 2012 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS Compared to the same periods of last year, consolidated revenue in the 2012 fourth quarter and 2012 full year decreased 7.0 percent and 0.3 percent, respectively.

Fourth-quarter 2012 consolidated operating profit was $50.3 million pesos, improving from an operating loss of $191.1 million pesos recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011. The operating loss incurred in the 2011 fourth quarter included one-time charges of $132.1 million pesos associated with a provision and impairment of assets related to certain Logistics assets. Additionally, fourth-quarter 2011 other expense-net included $74.2 million pesos related to a reserve for expenses associated with an arbitrage at the Maritime division and $48.6 million pesos from the cancelation of certain tax incentives.

Full-year 2012 consolidated operating profit increased to $248.0 million pesos compared to $74.9 million pesos in the 2011 full year. Consolidated operating profit in the 2012 full year included a one-time charge of $81.3 million pesos associated with a provision related to certain Logistics assets. Additionally, full-year 2012 other income-net included a profit of $74.2 million pesos from the acquisition of a subsidiary in January 2012.

Consolidated operating profit in the 2011 full year was negatively impacted by one-time charges of $193.9 million pesos associated with a provision and impairment of assets related to certain Logistics assets. Additionally, full-year 2011 other expense-net included $83.6 million pesos related to a reserve for expenses associated with an arbitrage at the Maritime division, partially offset by a $54.5 million pesos tax benefit.

Excluding the above, non-recurrent events, consolidated operating profit in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $55.0 million pesos compared to $75.0 million pesos in the same period of 2011, and consolidated operating profit in the 2012 full year was $217.4 million pesos compared to $298.7 million in the 2011 full year.

Consolidated EBITDA in the 2012 fourth quarter improved 65.7 percent to $216.2 million pesos compared to $130.5 million pesos in the same period of last year. Consolidated EBITDA in the 2012 full year improved 8.4 percent to $943.9 million pesos compared to $870.6 million pesos in the 2011 full year.

Net interest expense in the 2012 full year was $841.4 million pesos. EBITDA minus interest expense resulted in free cash flow of $102.5 million pesos in the 2012 full year.

Maritime revenue decreased 11.4 percent in the 2012 fourth quarter compared to the same period last year, mainly due to having one unemployed product tanker and one offshore vessel in maintenance in the 2012 reported quarter. This revenue loss was partially offset by a revenue increase at harbor tugs, mainly due to the addition of tug services to a new Liquefied Natural Gas, or LNG, terminal at Manzanillo in March of 2012, and to higher average daily tariffs, and by a revenue increase at chemical tankers, attributable to having one more vessel in operation in the 2012 reported quarter compared to the same quarter last year.

Maritime revenue increased 2.6 percent in the 2012 full year compared to the same period of last year as a result of improvements at all business segments except for product tankers, where revenue was impacted by one unemployed tanker throughout the second half of 2012. Additionally, the Company's shipyard contributed $50.5 million pesos to this division's revenue in the 2012 full year.

Maritime operating profit decreased 46.4 percent in the 2012 fourth quarter compared to the same period of last year impacted by lower revenue at product tankers and offshore. Also, in the 2012 fourth quarter, the offshore division incurred higher operating costs primarily attributable to having one vessel in maintenance and to certain vessels operating in the spot market during the 2012 reported quarter. The operating profit decrease in the 2012 fourth quarter was partially offset by a 29.7 percent profit increase at harbor tugs mainly due to the addition of services to the new LNG terminal.

Maritime operating profit decreased 15.4 percent in the 2012 full year compared to the 2011 full year, as a result of having two unemployed vessels for certain periods of time throughout the year, and to certain offshore vessels operating in the spot market in the 2012 reported quarter, as stated above, partially offset by a profit improvement of 141.2 percent, or $11.3 million pesos, at chemical tankers due to higher average daily tariffs and cost efficiencies. Additionally, the Company's shipyard contributed $11.9 million pesos of operating profit in the 2012 full year.

Maritime's EBITDA for the 2012 fourth quarter declined 22.7 percent to $218.2 million pesos, compared with $282.4 million pesos in the 2011 fourth quarter. Maritime's EBITDA in the 2012 full year fell 3.5 percent to $981.9 million pesos compared to $1,017.7 million pesos in the 2011 full year.

Ports and Terminals revenue grew 24.4 percent and 6.0 percent in the 2012 fourth quarter and 2012 full year, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011. In the 2012 fourth quarter, revenue at the automotive segment increased 50.6 percent to $39.3 million pesos due to higher volumes and tariffs compared to the 2011 fourth quarter. Also, compared to the 2011 fourth quarter, maintenance and repair revenue increased 19.0 percent to $28.8 million pesos as a result of higher volumes in the 2012 fourth quarter, mainly at the Veracruz facility.

Ports and Terminals revenue in the 2012 full year was negatively impacted by revenue losses at Acapulco, due to a sustained reduction of ship calls at this Port, year over year, and also to lower volumes at shipping agencies.

Ports and Terminals operating profit increased 44.5 percent in the 2012 fourth quarter, mainly due to improvements at the automotive segment and to cost efficiencies at maintenance and repair. In the 2012 full year, Ports and Terminals operating profit declined 13.6 percent compared to the 2011 full year, driven mainly by profit reductions at Acapulco due to a paramount decrease of ship calls at this Port and to a reduction in volumes at shipping agencies.

Logistics revenue decreased 6.8 percent and 9.7 percent in the 2012 fourth quarter and full year, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2011. In the 2012 full year, the warehousing business closed at break-even compared to an operating loss in the 2011 full year.

DEBT As of December 31, 2012, TMM's total net debt was $9,734.8 million pesos. In 2012, the Company paid approximately $540.7 million pesos of its Trust Certificates debt, including a capital prepayment of $15.4 million pesos. Likewise, on February 15, 2013, TMM paid approximately $395.0 million pesos of such debt, including a capital prepayment of $5.0 million pesos.

NOTE Due to changes in the economic environment and to the fact that TMM's current operations are concentrated in Mexico; on February 26, 2013, the Company announced its decision to change its functional and reporting currency from the U.S. dollar to the Mexican peso effective January 1, 2012.

This change was based on the International Accounting Standard 21 "The Effect of Changes in Foreign Exchanges", which states among others, that an entity shall apply the translation procedures applicable to the new functional currency prospectively from the date of the change. The exchange rate used at January 1, 2012 was 13.9476 pesos/dollar.

Additionally, as the change in functional and reporting currency was driven by economic circumstances, there is no requirement to do any retrospective adjustments. (International Accounting Standard 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors").
