MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
José F. Serrano, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Grupo TMM, said, "The slowdown of the economy in Mexico and the world during 2019 and the first months of this year, which were mainly due to the downturn in oil prices, coupled with the declaration of a health emergency by the Federal Government in Mexico and suspension of non-essential activities due to COVID-19, have affected the entire transportation and logistics industry, in addition to creating uncertainty in the financial markets; the Company has found alternative strategies to reduce the potential impact as much as possible, while trying to maintain productivity levels in the main segments of its Maritime, Ports and Terminals divisions, as well as Warehousing Services.”

In the same way, the Company reaffirms its social responsibility with its human capital, it has also implemented all the necessary measures to avoid spreading of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) to its collaborators, both on-board personnel, local operating personnel, as well as administrative and management personnel.

Grupo TMM’s solid financial position, with excellent cash/debt management, has resulted in significant liquidity, combined with the measures it is taking to improve its structure, diversify clients, reduce costs and invest in modern technological systems, both operational and administrative, as well as an unbeatable holding of strategic assets, has enabled it to complete new projects and make investments and alliances with renowned companies.  In the short and medium-term these investments and alliances will generate new income with high profitability to benefit shareholders and collaborators.

With this strategy, Grupo TMM is investing in Mexico to continue to provide the best integrated transportation, logistics, warehousing and distribution services, which will result in significant profits for the company and benefits for the country.”

FIRST-QUARTER 2020 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

The following information with respect to 2019 includes the new accounting standard for leases under the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS-16) effective as of January 1, 2019.  All monetary amounts are in millions of Mexican Pesos.

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2020 were $358.9 million, compared to $362.7 million reported in the same period of 2019, as a result of the effect in each business division by the low oil prices and health emergency due to COVID-19, partially offset by the Company’s client diversification strategy.

Consolidated operating income in the first quarter of 2020 was $15.7 million, compared to $28.8 million loss in the same period 2019.

Non-recurrent operations in the 2020 first quarter were income of $43.4 million, compared to $10.6 million expenses in the same period of 2019.

Consolidated EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 was $58.9 million compared to $1.1 million reported in the same period of 2019.

Maritime revenues in the first quarter of 2020 were $205.6 million compared to $207.0 million in the same period last year, mainly due to the disincorporation of the Tugboats business, the reduction in the Shipyard segment of attended vessels due to the contraction in the oil industry, as well as lower volume of steel transported in Bulk Carriers; partially offset by increased income in the Offshore segment and a larger volume transported by Parcel Tankers.

Maritime operating income for the first quarter of 2020 was $6.8 million, compared to $14.9 million in the same period last year, mainly attributable to a lower margin in the mix of works in the Shipyard segment and the disincorporation of the Tugboats business; partially offset by a better margin in calls in the Bulk Carrier business due to costs efficiency, as well as an increase in productivity in the Offshore segment and Parcel Tankers.

Maritime EBITDA in the first quarter of 2020 was $19.1 million compared to $29.6 million reported in the same period last year; EBITDA margin was 9.3 percent.

Ports and Terminals revenues were $112.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 compared to $113.7 million in the same period last year, mainly due to a reduction of operations in the Maintenance and Repair of Containers segment because of decreased export activity, as well as the decrease of cruises attended and freighted cars in API Acapulco, due to the decrease of calls in Mexican ports and the contraction in automotive industry exports; partially offset by a larger volume of gravel maneuvered and a larger volume of operations in the Intermodal Terminal at Aguascalientes.

Ports and Terminals operating income in the first quarter of 2020 was $18.4 million compared to $18.6 million in the same period of 2019, mainly attributable to a significative decrease in calls of cruises and freighted cars in API Acapulco, as well as the result in the Maintenance and Repair of Containers segment by the decrease of the export activity; partially offset by a larger volume maneuvered in Tuxpan.

Ports and Terminals EBITDA was $28.9 million in the 2020 first quarter, compared to $23.5 million reported in the same period last year; EBITDA margin was 25.6 percent.

Warehousing Services revenue continued performing well, reporting $40.6 million in the first quarter of 2020, nearly the same level as the first quarter of 2019 which recorded $41.9 million.
