MEXICO CITY--(Marketwired - Jul 26, 2013) - Grupo TMM, S.A.B. (
MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW José F. Serrano, chairman and chief executive officer of Grupo TMM, said, "In the second quarter of 2013 consolidated revenue and operating profit showed solid improvement. At Maritime, the offshore business continued to excel with 95 percent utilization and increased revenue and operating profit compared to the second quarter of 2012. Furthermore, product tanker utilization in the 2013 second quarter was 90 percent, improving from 71 percent in this year's first quarter. Additionally, Maritime EBITDA margins held at 45 percent year over year. At Ports and Terminals, revenue improved in both 2013 reported periods compared to the same periods of 2012, mainly attributable to higher volumes at the automotive and at the maintenance and repair segments. Finally, we recorded free cash flow of $35.5 million pesos and $48.2 million pesos in the second quarter and first half of 2013, respectively.
Serrano concluded, "Going forward, we expect to take advantage of new business opportunities at Maritime, as Mexico's Energy Reform is approved. Additionally, we anticipate announcing an agreement for a new project to grow TMM before year end."
SECOND-QUARTER AND FIRST-HALF 2013 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS In May 2013, the Company's board of directors approved the sale of Grupo TMM's Logistics assets, which include the trucking, auto hauling and warehousing operations. As such, these operations are now presented as discontinued operations according to IFRS 5 "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations".
Compared to the same periods of last year, consolidated revenue in the 2013 second quarter and first half increased 12.4 percent and 10.0 percent, respectively, driven by improvements at Maritime and Ports.
Second-quarter 2013 consolidated operating profit increased 35.2 percent to $99.8 million pesos from $73.8 million pesos in the second quarter of 2012. In the 2013 first six months, consolidated operating profit grew 14.8 percent to $171.4 million pesos from $149.3 million pesos in the 2012 period. These improvements were mainly driven by higher operating profit at Maritime in both 2013 reported periods compared to the same periods of 2012.
First-half 2013 other income net was $6.7 million pesos, which mainly included $3.2 million pesos of net tax recoveries and $2.8 million pesos from non-recurring fuel inventory income recorded in the current period, compared to first-half 2012 other income net of $22.5 million pesos, which mainly included $23.4 million pesos in cash dividends from affiliates, partially offset by a $1.5 million pesos reserve for expenses associated with an arbitrage at the Maritime division.
Second-quarter 2013 consolidated EBITDA was $245.4 million pesos, up 13.3 percent from $216.5 million pesos in the 2012 second quarter. Likewise, first-half 2013 consolidated EBITDA increased 6.9 percent to $465.3 million pesos from $435.2 million pesos in the 2012 first half.
Second-quarter 2013 net interest expense was $209.9 million pesos. EBITDA minus interest expense resulted in free cash flow of $35.5 million pesos in the second quarter. In the 2013 first six months, net interest expense was $417.1 million pesos. EBITDA minus interest expense resulted in free cash flow of $48.2 million pesos in the 2013 first six months.
Second-quarter 2013 Maritime revenue improved 12.9 percent compared to the prior-year second quarter due to revenue improvements at all business segments except for the shipyard, which reported a weaker revenue mix compared to the 2012 second quarter. However, the shipyard's revenue improved 42.0 percent from the 2013 first quarter, as previously scheduled services from the first quarter were deferred to the second quarter.
Comparing the 2013 first six months to the same period of 2012, Maritime revenue improved 8.9 percent mainly due to: a 10.0 percent revenue increase at offshore due to higher average daily tariffs and increased utilization; a 31.7 percent revenue increase at chemical tankers as a result of operating one additional leased vessel to service higher freight volumes; and an 8.4 percent revenue increase at harbor tugs due to an improved revenue mix. This revenue improvement was partially offset by a 32.8 percent revenue reduction at the shipyard and to a 2.2 percent revenue decline at product tankers mainly attributable to having one unemployed vessel for half of the current quarter. As of June 30, 2013, Maritime's backlog was $1,930.5 million pesos.
Second-quarter and first-half 2013 Maritime operating profit grew 22.1 percent and 19.6 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2012. These increases were for the most part attributable to offshore and harbor tugs, partially offset by profit losses at product tankers.
Second-quarter 2013 Maritime's EBITDA grew 11.4 percent to $276.8 million pesos compared to $248.5 million pesos in the same period of last year. Comparing the 2013 first six months to the same period of 2012, Maritime's EBITDA increased 10.3 percent to $534.2 million pesos in the current period compared to $484.4 million pesos in the prior period.
Second-quarter 2013 Ports and Terminals revenue grew 11.6 percent compared to the same period of 2012 mainly due to revenue improvements at the automotive and maintenance and repair segments. Comparing the first half of 2013 with the same period of 2012, Ports and Terminals revenue increased 19.1 percent mainly as a result of: a 21.4 percent revenue increase at maintenance and repair due to a large volume increase from one client at the Veracruz facility; a 15.9 percent revenue improvement at the automotive segment due to higher volumes; and to a 10.6 percent revenue increase at Acapulco due to higher automobile export volumes in the first quarter of this year.
Second-quarter 2013 Ports and Terminals operating profit decreased 40.9 percent compared to the 2012 second quarter driven mainly by higher operating costs at the automotive division. In the 2013 first six months, Ports and Terminals operating profit declined 8.6 percent compared to the 2012 first six months largely due to a profit decrease at the automotive segment, partially compensated by higher profit at maintenance and repair and at Acapulco.
DEBT As of June 30, 2013, TMM's total net debt was $9,887.0 million pesos. In the 2013 first quarter, the Company paid approximately $395.0 million pesos of its Trust Certificates debt, including a capital prepayment of $5.0 million pesos. Of TMM's total debt, only $349.3 million pesos, or 3.3 percent, is short term.
