Grupo TMM Reports Second-Quarter 2011 Financial Results
(firmenpresse) - MEXICO CITY -- (Marketwire) -- 07/28/11 -- (NYSE: TMM) (BMV: TMM A) a Mexican intermodal transportation and logistics Company, reported today its financial results for the second quarter and first six months of 2011.
José F. Serrano, chairman and chief executive officer of Grupo TMM, said, "Second-quarter results continued to be affected by a challenging shipping marketplace, including the global reduction of tariffs for offshore vessels and product tankers, which impacted revenue and profit at Maritime compared to the second quarter of 2010. Notwithstanding, Maritime's operational results and fleet utilization improved from the first quarter of this year."
Serrano continued, "Prospects for a rebound in the shipping market look promising as tariffs appear to have hit bottom, which should translate in operational improvements at Maritime in upcoming quarters. Additionally, we are working diligently to add medium and long-term contracts to our fleet."
Serrano concluded, "We continue to work on the implementation of our five-year growth plan, which includes the development of a container and liquids terminal at the Port of Tuxpan, Veracruz, and the addition of specialized offshore vessels to TMM's fleet to meet the increasing demand for deep water exploration in Mexico. We are actively pursuing the financial implementation of these projects, which will allow TMM to grow and improve its capital structure."
Compared to the same periods of last year, consolidated revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2011, decreased 7.7 percent and 13.4 percent, respectively, mainly due to reduced revenue at Maritime.
Consolidated operating profit increased 35.4 percent in the second quarter of 2011, but decreased 12.5 percent in the first half of 2011 compared to the same periods of 2010. Consolidated operating profit in the second quarter of 2011 included other income net of $6.4 million, mainly attributable to the recovery of certain tax incentives.
Compared to the same periods of last year, consolidated EBITDA in the second quarter of 2011 increased 10.0 percent to $24.3 million, and in the first half of 2011 decreased 5.1 percent to $42.8 million.
Interest expense in the second quarter of 2011 and first six months of 2011 was $17.4 million and $8.6 million, respectively. EBITDA minus interest expense resulted in free cash flow of $6.9 million in the second quarter of 2011 and of $8.2 million in the first half of 2011.
Compared to the same periods of last year, Maritime revenue in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 decreased 15.7 percent and 18.7 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of last year. Second-quarter 2011 and first six-months 2011 operating profit was down 33.7 percent and 32.4 percent, respectively, compared to the same periods of last year. These reductions were partially offset by revenue and profit increases at harbor tugs due to increased vessel calls at Manzanillo.
Year over year, in the first six months of 2011, offshore revenue decreased 21.1 percent to $50.1 million, negatively impacted by lower average daily tariffs, lower utilization and three less vessels in operation, compared to the same period of 2010. Also in the first half of 2011, product tanker revenue decreased 17.7 percent to $16.7 million attributable to lower average daily tariffs and to lower utilization compared to the same period of last year. Six-month chemical tanker revenue decreased 25.2 percent to $9.8 million compared to the same period of 2011 as a result of having one less vessel in operation in the second quarter and to lower freight volumes in the first half of 2011 compared to last year.
Compared to the same periods of last year, Ports and Terminals' second-quarter and first six-month 2011 revenue increased 21.0 percent and 18.5 percent, respectively. Year over year, second-quarter and six-month 2011 operating profit remained unchanged at $1.4 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
Compared to the same period of last year, first six-month 2011 revenue increased at the automotive segment by 66.7 percent to $4.0 million due to higher volumes, from 298,665 automobiles to 363,599 automobiles. Maintenance and repair segment revenue increased 14.3 percent to $4.0 million in the first half comparison due mainly to higher volumes at the Manzanillo depot and to the addition of a new client at Altamira in the second quarter. At Acapulco, first six-month 2011 revenue decreased 2.6 percent to $3.8 million, as two cruise ship lines changed routes in the first quarter of 2011, partially offset by a 52.8 percent revenue increase in the car handling segment due to higher export volumes.
Compared to second-quarter 2010, Logistics revenue increased 6.7 percent in second-quarter 2011. Excluding $6.7 million of revenue from the sale of assets in April 2010, Logistics revenue increased 7.6 percent in the first half of 2011 compared to the same period of 2010. These increases were mainly attributable to higher revenue at the auto hauling segment, which increased 43.2 percent in second-quarter 2011 and 46.6 percent in first-half 2011, compared to the same periods of last year as a result of higher volumes.
As of June 30, 2011, TMM's total debt was $892.0 million. The Company's Trust Certificates debt was negatively impacted by $43.3 million from the appreciation of the peso versus the dollar in the 2011 first half.
