Business Outlook

The company's management has not provided specific quantitative guidance for the upcoming fiscal year in the filing. However, the company's strategic priorities include focusing on its core maritime transportation and port operations, optimizing its fleet utilization, and expanding its logistics services. The company plans to continue investing in its infrastructure and equipment to enhance its service offerings and operational efficiency. The company's growth strategy is centered on strengthening its relationships with key customers, such as PEMEX and CFE Energía, and exploring new opportunities in the energy and logistics sectors.

One of the company's primary growth vectors is the expansion of its specialized maritime transportation services, particularly in the transportation of refined petroleum products and offshore support services. The company's fleet of parcel tankers and offshore vessels is well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing demand for energy transportation in Mexico. The company is also focusing on increasing its port terminal capacity and efficiency, particularly at its automotive services terminal, to capture growth in the automotive logistics market. The company's investment in technology and infrastructure is aimed at improving operational efficiency and customer service, which are expected to drive revenue growth.

Another growth vector is the development of its warehousing and logistics services. The company operates warehouses and distribution centers that provide storage and value-added logistics services to its customers. The company is exploring opportunities to expand its warehousing capacity and offer integrated logistics solutions that combine maritime transportation, port handling, and warehousing. This integrated approach is expected to enhance customer loyalty and generate additional revenue streams. The company is also considering strategic partnerships and acquisitions to expand its service offerings and geographic reach.

The company's margin and cost outlook is focused on improving operational efficiency and controlling costs. The company has implemented cost reduction initiatives and is optimizing its fleet operations to improve margins. The company's operating margin was 4.0% in 2025, compared to 7.1% in 2024. The company's EBITDA margin was 20.8% in 2025, compared to 23.2% in 2024. The company expects to continue its cost discipline and efficiency improvements to enhance profitability. The company's cost structure is influenced by fuel prices, maintenance costs, and labor expenses, which are subject to market fluctuations.

The company's operational outlook includes continued investment in its fleet and port infrastructure. The company plans to make capital expenditures of approximately Ps. 150 million in 2026 for the maintenance and upgrade of its vessels and terminal equipment. The company is also investing in technology to improve its operational systems and customer interfaces. The company's workforce strategy is focused on retaining skilled personnel and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of its assets. The company's headcount was approximately 1,200 employees as of December 31, 2025.

The company's capital allocation priorities include maintaining adequate liquidity and managing its debt levels. The company's capital expenditures are expected to be funded through operating cash flows and available credit facilities. The company does not have a share repurchase program in place. The company's dividend policy is to not pay dividends, as it focuses on reinvesting earnings to support its operations and growth initiatives. The company's total debt as of December 31, 2025, was Ps. 1,234 million , and it has access to credit lines totaling Ps. 200 million from various financial institutions.

The company faces several headwinds and constraints that could impact its growth plans. These include the volatility in freight rates and charter hire, which are influenced by global supply and demand dynamics. The company's revenue is also dependent on the level of activity in the Mexican energy sector, particularly the operations of PEMEX and CFE Energía. Changes in government policies related to the energy sector could affect the company's business. Additionally, the company is exposed to currency fluctuations, as a significant portion of its revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, while its costs are partly in Mexican pesos. The company's operations are also subject to regulatory requirements and environmental regulations, which could increase compliance costs.

The company's growth is also constrained by the competitive landscape, with competition from other maritime and logistics providers. The company's ability to secure new contracts and maintain existing ones is critical to its growth. The company's financial performance is also affected by the overall economic conditions in Mexico and globally, which influence trade volumes and demand for transportation services. The company's debt levels and interest expenses are a constraint on its financial flexibility, and it must manage its debt service obligations carefully.

Risk Factors

The company's business is highly dependent on a limited number of major customers, with Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) accounting for a significant portion of revenue. In 2025, revenue from PEMEX represented approximately 45% of total revenue, and the loss of this customer would have a material adverse effect on the company's financial condition. The company's operations are also exposed to fluctuations in freight rates and charter hire, which are volatile and influenced by global supply and demand. A decline in freight rates could significantly reduce revenue and profitability. The company's revenue is also dependent on the level of activity in the Mexican energy sector, and any reduction in PEMEX's exploration and production activities could reduce demand for the company's offshore vessel services. Additionally, the company has significant debt obligations, with total debt of Ps. 1,234 million as of December 31, 2025, and a portion of this debt is subject to variable interest rates, exposing the company to interest rate risk. The company's operations are subject to environmental regulations, and any non-compliance could result in fines and penalties. The company's international operations expose it to currency risk, as a significant portion of its revenue is denominated in U.S. dollars, while a portion of its costs are in Mexican pesos, and fluctuations in the exchange rate could adversely affect results.

Management Priorities

Management's message to shareholders emphasizes the company's commitment to strengthening its core business and improving operational efficiency. The company's strategic priorities for the period ahead include focusing on its specialized maritime transportation and port operations, optimizing fleet utilization, and expanding its logistics services. Management has highlighted the importance of maintaining strong relationships with key customers and exploring new opportunities in the energy and logistics sectors. The company's management is focused on cost control and operational excellence to improve profitability.
