MEXICO CITY, July 28, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo TMM, S.A.B. (OTC: GTMAY and BMV: TMM A; “TMM” or the “Company”), a Mexican Maritime-management transportation and logistics Company, reported today its financial results for the second quarter of 2021.

José F. Serrano, Chairman of Grupo TMM, said, “Grupo TMM’s revenue and EBITDA continues to recover quarter by quarter and it will continue for the rest of the year, thanks to the efforts of our General Management and our collaborators to reinvent the Company. We’ve leveraged our experience, cost optimization and customer diversification strategies, and implemented technological transformation, all of which will enable our recovery.

“Thanks to our experience and the trust of our customers, the Company was awarded new long-term contracts for its own vessels that will help increase revenues, operating margin and market share. At the same time, Grupo TMM is prepared for the reactivation of cruise activities in national ports, mainly in the Mexican Caribbean, which began with its first calls in June 2021, thanks to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Management and shareholders have confirmed their confidence in the performance of the Company through the capitalization of liabilities, which also improves our debt profile.

“Grupo TMM is ready to capitalize on opportunities and challenges, materialize its projects, and make strategic alliances with world-renowned companies to continue to provide integrated transport, logistics, storage and distribution services, as well as seek sustainable growth and development.”

SECOND-QUARTER 2021 OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

Consolidated revenue for the first six months of 2021 was $569.0 million compared to $635.3 million for the same period of the previous year. The Company continues its recovery trend quarter by quarter, thanks to its diversification and customer service strategy, and the gradual reactivation of the economy, as well as of the energy industry.

The consolidated operating result in the first six months of 2021 resulted in a loss of $131.8 million, of which $58.6 million was from non-recurring operations, representing 44.5 percent, mainly due to the sale of the chemical tanker “Olmeca” during the first quarter of the year.

Maritime revenue in the second quarter 2021 was $206.9 million compared to $176.7 million in the same period of the previous year, mainly due to a greater number of stopovers in the bulk carrier segment and a greater number of jobs in the shipyard derived from the gradual recovery of the industry and the economy, partially offset by the decrease in volume transported in parcel tankers.
