MANAGEMENT TEAM
Grupo TMM also announced today that its board of directors has approved a
corporate restructure and a new management structure designed to advance
the Company's execution and efficiency, improve cost management and
continue its business practice of providing maritime services, land
transportation services, integrated logistics services, and ports and
terminals management to international and domestic clients throughout
Mexico.
José F. Serrano, chairman and chief executive officer of Grupo TMM, stated,
"TMM has long been recognized as a pioneer and leader of logistics and
transportation services in Mexico, and the time is now right for the
Company to put a new management team in place, one that can take maximum
advantages of the considerable opportunities we face. Over the recent years
we have built a solid foundation for logistics and transportation services,
which allows us to provide value-based solutions to our current and future
customers. I am pleased about the opportunities that this management team
presents for TMM, our customers, and our shareholders, and I am confident
about the prospects of the Company under our leadership. I am convinced
this team will deliver growth for the Company and help us to improve the
quality and performance of our services, thereby creating value for our
customers. Excellent experience combined with skilled business leadership
is a powerful combination."
Leading the highly qualified senior management team is recently appointed
President Fernando Sánchez Ugarte. He will lead a strategic, company-wide
effort to continue delivery of integrated logistics and transportation
services. Mr. Sánchez Ugarte recently resigned the post of undersecretary
for Internal Revenue for the Mexican Finance Ministry, a position he held
since December 2006. He has held several positions within the Mexican
government including president of the Federal Competition Commission,
undersecretary of Industry and Foreign Investment and general director of
Income Policies. Additionally, he was a member of the North American Free
Trade Agreement negotiating team and served as general consul for Mexico in
Portland, Oregon. Mr. Sánchez Ugarte holds a PHD in Economics from the
University of Chicago.
Jacinto Marina, who has served in various positions at TMM since 1991, is
acting as chief financial officer of TMM. Mr. Marina holds a degree in
Economics from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México.
Supporting the office of the president, the new management team further
comprises Luis Ocejo as head of Maritime and Ports, Jaime Glenn as head of
the Logistics commercial division and Jorge Septien as head of the
Logistics operations. This team brings a balance of management and
transportation experience as TMM prepares for the next phase of its growth.
As head of Maritime and Ports, Luis Ocejo will oversee the operations,
management and marketing of these divisions. He joined TMM in 1982 as head
of the new buildings division, and in 1997 was promoted to technical and
management director of the division. Prior to joining TMM, Mr. Ocejo worked
at Astilleros, Construcciones y Servicios Marítimos, a Mexican company that
designs vessel buildings. He holds a degree in naval architecture and
maritime engineering from the University of Veracruz in Mexico.
As head of the commercial division of TMM Logistics, Jaime Glenn leads the
division's commercial efforts to bring TMM's integrated logistics solutions
to the market place. Mr. Glenn joined the Company in 1996 as director of
dedicated transportation services and has served as head of the commercial
division of TMM Logistics since 2001. Prior to joining the Company, he was
general director of TUM, one of the largest international trucking
companies, and earlier served as corporate director for other import and
distribution companies. He holds a degree in accounting from La Salle
University in Mexico. Mr. Glenn is a frequent speaker at logistics
conferences and seminars.
Jorge Septien continues to lead the operations at TMM Logistics. Mr.
Septien joined Grupo TMM in 2001 as Customer Service and Equipment Control
sub director, later serving as Intermodal and Maintenance operations
director. Prior to joining TMM, Mr. Septien worked in the consumer product
sector. He studied Business Administration in the Universidad Tecnológica
de México.
Serrano added, "With the appointment of this outstanding team of logistics
and transportation professionals, TMM embarks on an expanded mission to
maximize growth and shareholder value."
MANAGEMENT OVERVIEW
José F. Serrano said, "In 2007, TMM consistently improved its operating
profit performance and significantly exceeded year-to-year comparisons in
revenues and transportation income. In the Logistics division revenues for
the year improved 23 percent; however cost and operating expenses in our
recently acquired auto hauling business impacted the division's bottom
line. Through the addition of vessels and contracts, the Maritime division
improved revenues and transportation income. The Company's consolidated
EBITDA improved 65.8 percent to $52.4 million, compared with the full year
2006. In 2007, the Company incurred non-recurring restructuring costs of
$6.3 million. This restructure will generate savings going forward, which
will result in the payback period of the costs incurred in the
restructuring to be approximately one year and a half."
Serrano continued, "We believe 2008 will be an important year for TMM.
Pemex is moving forward with the replacement of its product tanker vessels
and the expansion of its exploration vessels. As we stated in our third
quarter conference call, Pemex has also announced bids for 69 oil
exploration vessels between 2007 and 2011. TMM intends to actively
participate in this opportunity. We have already been awarded one of such
contracts, and acquired in January a vessel to service such contract, which
starts in May. We also acquired two 2008-built tugboats to improve
operations at the port of Manzanillo. The tugboats start operations in
March.
"We anticipate to issue in March, the second tranche of the Company's
20-year Mexican Trust Certificates in the amount of $3.2 billion Mexican
pesos, or approximately $297 million, which will be used to acquire or
refinance vessels and will be non recourse to the Company.
"Also, we expect Pemex to announce the final terms of five long-term
product tanker bareboat contracts in the first half of 2008. We intend to
actively pursue this opportunity as bids are awarded.
"At Logistics, the Mexican postal service awarded us with a two-year
contract for the distribution of all national mail to and from central
postal offices throughout Mexico. This new service starts in May."
Serrano concluded, "With improving revenues and operating profit throughout
2008, we believe TMM can move to a sustainable net income position and
improve its balance sheet and cash flow."
FINANCIAL RESULTS
In the full year 2007, revenues improved at all business segments mainly
due to higher volumes.
Increased consolidated transportation income for the fourth quarter and
full year of 2007 is mainly due to improved transportation income in the
Maritime division of $2.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2007 and $13.5
million in the 12 months of 2007 compared to the same periods last year.
To better reflect TMM's corporate costs, the Company modified the
presentation of its consolidated SG&A and is now presenting all business
units' administrative costs in the costs and operating expenses line,
separated from corporate expenses. Specifically, the Company assigned human
resources and IT costs according to the specific use of each business unit
and of corporate.
Costs and operating expenses of $68.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007
increased 23.0 percent, from $55.3 million in the same period of last year.
The increase in the fourth quarter of 2007 was mainly attributable to
increased revenues, to $5.6 million of costs in vessel leases and to $9.0
million of costs related to the Company's warehousing and auto hauling
businesses.
Costs and operating expenses of $243.1 million in the 12 months of 2007
increased 16.3 percent from $209.0 million, over the same period of 2006.
The increase in the full-year period of 2007 was mainly attributable to
increased revenues, to $17.2 million of costs in vessel leases and to $17.4
million from costs related to the warehousing and auto hauling businesses.
Corporate expenses in the fourth quarter of 2007 increased $1.7 million to
$5.6 million compared to $3.9 million in the same period of 2006 mainly
attributable to non recurrent expenses, including increases in salaries and
retirement related payments.
Corporate expenses in the 12 months of 2007 increased $3.8 million to $18.4
million compared to $14.6 million in the same period of 2006. This increase
was mainly due to non-recurring expenses, including the disposition of non
operating assets, increases in salaries and retirement related payments.
The ratio of corporate expenses to total revenue was 6.6 percent in the
fourth quarter of 2007 and 6.1 percent in the full-year of 2007.
Other expense, net was $2.8 million and $0.3 million in the fourth quarter
and in the full year 2007, respectively, and included a non-recurring
restructuring cost of $6.3 million. As stated above, with the expected
savings going forward, the payback period of the costs incurred in the
restructure will be approximately one year and a half.
Net financial cost in the fourth quarter of 2007 was $16.7 million,
increasing $6.6 million compared to $10.1 million incurred in the same
period of 2006. This increase was mainly attributable to $4.0 million
resulting from a prepayment premium and the corresponding amortization of
issuance expenses, both related to a prepayment of $50 million of the
securitization facility, and to a higher average balance of debt incurred
to finance the capital expenditures during 2007.
Net financial cost for the full year of 2007 was $49.5 million, decreasing
$6.3 million from $55.8 million incurred in the full year of 2006. The
decrease in the 2007 period mainly resulted from costs incurred in the 2006
period and not incurred in the 2007 period, including the amortization of
financial expenses related to the prepayment of the Company's 2007 Notes.
The loss before results from discontinued operations in the full year 2007
was $28.2 million compared to $40.9 million in the full year 2006,
decreasing $12.7 million.
Net loss in the 2007 period was impacted by a one-time write off of $38.6
million in the third quarter of 2007 resulting from the settlement of two
accounts receivable from Kansas City Southern de México. Also, net loss in
the 2007 period was impacted by $6.3 million of non-recurring restructuring
costs incurred in the fourth quarter.

SEGMENT RESULTS
Maritime
Comparing the fourth quarter of 2007 with the fourth quarter of 2006:
-- Revenues improved 17.7 percent to $47.2 million compared to $40.1
million. Revenues increased in the offshore segment mainly attributable to
an improved revenue mix. In the product tanker segment, revenues increased
mainly attributable to two additional vessels in operation and in the
harbor towage segment revenues improved due to increased vessel calls at
the port of Manzanillo. Chemical tanker revenues decreased due to one
vessel in dry dock during December.
-- Transportation income improved 30.3 percent to $11.6 million compared
to $8.9 million due to profit improvements at all business segments.
Comparing the 12 months of 2007 with the 12 months of 2006:
-- Revenues improved 22.3 percent to $179.0 million compared to $146.4
million. Offshore revenues increased due mainly to an improved revenue mix.
Product tanker revenues increased due mainly to improved utilization, from
93 percent to 100 percent and were partially offset by revenue losses from
one vessel operating in the spot market in the third and fourth quarters as
tariffs were volatile during these periods. Chemical tanker revenues also
improved due to an increase in tariffs.
-- Transportation income improved 44.6 percent to $44.1 million compared
to $30.5 million, mainly attributable to improvements in the offshore
segment and in the chemical tanker segment. Profit significantly increased
in the chemical tanker segment due to the purchase of two vessels in the
second quarter which were previously leased, reducing operating costs.
Logistics
Comparing the fourth quarter of 2007 with the fourth quarter of 2006:
-- Revenues improved 57.0 percent to $34.7 million compared to $22.1
million. Trucking revenues increased due to improved freight volumes as a
result of new tractors and trailers in operation. Warehousing operations
contributed $4.7 million of revenues reflective of the start of the peak
season and auto hauling contributed $6.2 million of revenues. The
maintenance and repair and the inbound logistics revenues increased mainly
due to improved volumes.
-- Transportation loss of $1.0 million compared to a transportation loss
of $3.6 million. Transportation loss in the fourth quarter 2007 was mainly
due to costs and operating expenses at the auto hauling business segment,
which mainly included fuel, maintenance of equipment and personnel costs.
Comparing the 12 months of 2007 with the 12 months of 2006:
-- Revenues improved 23.4 percent to $115.9 million compared to $93.9
million. Trucking revenues increased due to improved freight volumes and to
longer hauls. Warehousing and auto hauling operations contributed with
$16.9 million and $9.1 million of revenues, respectively. Maintenance and
repair revenues increased due to an improved mix of revenues and inbound
logistics improved mainly to increased line feeding volumes. Revenue was
impacted by a $9.3 million loss from the cancellation of a contract between
Kansas City Southern de México and Ford Motor Company in which TMM
Logistics was a subcontractor.
-- Transportation loss of $3.3 million compared to a transportation loss
of $6.1 million. This improvement was mainly due to increased profit in the
trucking and maintenance and repair segments and to the warehouse segment
contribution, and was partially offset by the auto hauling segment as per
increased costs and operating expenses in the fourth quarter, and also to a
decrease in profit resulting from railroad related discontinued services in
2006.
Ports and Terminals
Comparing the fourth quarter of 2007 with the fourth quarter of 2006:
-- Revenues decreased 21.2 percent to $2.6 million compared to $3.3
million. This decrease was mainly due to a reduction of revenues in the
cruise ship segment at Acapulco and to lower revenues at the shipping
agencies segment. As a result of the above, transportation income decreased
69.2 percent to $0.4 million from $1.3 million.
Comparing the 12 months of 2007 with the 12 months of 2006:
-- Revenues improved 4.9 percent to $8.5 million compared to $8.1 million
mainly due to a revenue increase in the cruise ship segment at Acapulco.
Also, auto handling revenues increased due to higher import and export
volumes from and to South America and Japan. Transportation income
increased to $1.4 million from $1.2 million due mainly to lower costs in
the shipping agencies segment.
