PH government revitalizes Tacloban Port Taps ICTSI resources, manpower

to improve port operation

The Philippine government, through the Department of Transportation and Communication (DOTC) and the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA), is revitalizing Tacloban’s port facilities and operation, a move seen not only to accelerate but also to ensure safe delivery of the massive humanitarian aid for Tacloban and other devastated areas in Eastern Visayas.

ICTSI Newsbreak



DOTC and PPA have tapped International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) to reinforce and improve port services given the influx of support from countries the world over and the immediate need to transport aid.

Christian R. Gonzalez, ICTSI Head of Asian Region, says: “Today, we signed a relief support agreement with the PPA. We have been closely working round-the-clock with DOTC and PPA to get this project running at the quickest time possible. We have dispatched our equipment, which should arrive in Tacloban by Tuesday. By then, the port will be fully operational.”

ICTSI is deploying various cargo handling equipment valued at over PhP200 million. This includes a brand new mobile harbor crane (MHC) already being commissioned in Davao for possible deployment to Leyte if required. Commissioning is being done in Davao due to the lack of water depth at the Tacloban Port to support the heavy lift vessel carrying it.

As its donation to the typhoon victims, spreader manufacturer Stinis from Holland added two more back-up spreaders to ensure the smooth and continuous operation. Moreover, a start-up team composed of top-notch engineers, operations managers and staff, equipment operators from the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT), ICTSI’s flagship, have been dispatched to support port operation.

Mr. Gonzalez added that ICTSI will run the Tacloban Port free, and will continue to do so up until the close of the government’s relief operations and normal transportation network has been restored, at which time ICTSI will take back all the equipment and pull out its personnel.

Meanwhile, at the MICT, ICTSI has opened its container freight station (CFS) facilities to the Philippine Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD). The terminal’s CFS-2 in particular was designated as DSWD’s relief operations center (ROC), where international relief donations entering the Port of Manila are processed. The ROC is manned 24 / 7 by ICTSI volunteer-employees along with DSWD volunteers working 24 / 7 as foreign aid continue to pour in for the typhoon victims.

ICTSI and the ICTSI Foundation, Inc. (ICTSI-FI) are closely coordinating with and supporting the initiatives of DSWD, partner foundations and non-government organizations such as the Philippine Business for Social Progress and Philippine National Red Cross, and the local Roman Catholic Church for relief efforts.

ICTSI-FI also spearheaded a fund-raising and aid collection campaign within the ICTSI Group. ICTSI subsidiaries in 19 countries along with their business partners, client shipping lines, and suppliers have overwhelmingly responded, and donations are pouring in. Donations will be used to augment relief efforts as well as a rehabilitation program.

ICTSI is also extending aid to employees who have relatives affected by typhoon.

ICTSI 9-month net income up 22% to US$128.8 millionVolume up 13% to 4.6 million TEUs, revenues up 19% to US$624.7 million, EBITDA improves 26% to US$285.5 million

International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the first nine months of 2013, posting revenue from port operations of US$624.7 million, an increase of 19 percent over the US$524.7 million reported for the same period last year; Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) of US$285.5 million, 26 percent higher than the US$225.8 million generated in the first nine months of 2012; and net income attributable to equity holders of US$128.8 million, up 22 percent over the US$105.8 million earned in the same period last year.

The higher net income attributable to equity holders for the first nine months of 2013 was mainly due to strong revenue growth and margin improvement in certain key terminals and the contribution from the new terminal in Karachi, Pakistan. Diluted earnings per share for the period was likewise higher by 17 percent at US$0.054, from US$0.046 in 2012.

For the quarter ending 30 September 2013, revenue from port operations increased 17 percent, from US$179.7 million to US$211.0 million while EBITDA was 27 percent higher at US$97.3 million, from US$76.7 million. Net income attributable to equity holders grew 29 percent, from US$35.6 million to US$45.9 million, and diluted

earnings per share improved 27 percent to US$0.019, from US$0.015 in 2012.

ICTSI handled consolidated volume of 4,628,117 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) for the first nine months of 2013, 13 percent more than the 4,083,842 TEUs handled in the same period in 2012. The increase in volume was mainly due to the continuous growth in international and domestic trade in most of the Company’s terminals and the volume generated by Pakistan International Container Terminal (PICT) and PT Olah Jasa Andal (PT OJA), the Company’s new container terminals in Karachi, Pakistan and Jakarta, Indonesia, respectively. Excluding volume from the two new terminals and the effect of the cessation of the operations in Syria effective January 2013, organic volume growth increased by one percent. The Company’s seven key terminal operations in Manila, Brazil, Poland, Madagascar, China, Ecuador and Pakistan accounted for 79 percent of the Group’s consolidated volume in the first nine months of 2013.

For the quarter ending 30 September 2013, total consolidated throughput was 16 percent higher at 1,601,112 TEUs compared to 1,386,107 TEUs in 2012.

Gross revenues from port operations for the first nine months of 2013 surged 19 percent to US$624.7 million, from the US$524.7 million reported in the same period in 2012. The increase in revenues was mainly due to the volume growth, higher storage revenues and ancillary services, tariff rate increases in certain key terminals, and the



ICTSI 9-month net income up 22% to US$128.8 millionrevenue contribution from the new terminals in Jakarta, Indonesia and Karachi, Pakistan. Excluding the revenues from the newly acquired terminals and the effect of the cessation of the operations in Tartous, Syria, organic revenue growth was eight percent. The Group’s seven key terminal operations in Manila, Brazil, Poland, Madagascar, China, Ecuador and Pakistan accounted for 85 percent of the Group’s consolidated revenues in the first nine months of 2013.

Gross revenues from port operations for the quarter ended 30 September 2013 surged 17 percent to US$211.0 million, from the US$179.7 million reported in the same period in 2012.

Consolidated cash operating expenses in the first nine months of 2013 grew 13 percent to US$255.4 million, from US$225.4 million in the same period in 2012. The increase was mainly driven by higher volume-related expenses (i.e., on-call labor, fuel, power and repairs and maintenance), government-mandated and contracted salary rate increases in certain terminals, higher business development expenses, and the inclusion of the expenses of the new terminals in Jakarta, Indonesia and Karachi, Pakistan. Excluding the cash operating expenses of the new terminals as well as the expenses incurred in the Company’s operation in Syria in the same period in 2012, total cash operating expenses would have increased by only five percent.

Consolidated EBITDA for the first nine months of 2013 increased 26 percent to US$285.5 million, from US$225.8 million in 2012 mainly due to the volume growth and stronger revenues arising from

favorable volume mix, higher revenues from storage and ancillary services, tariff increases in certain key terminals and the contribution of the new terminals in Jakarta, Indonesia and Karachi, Pakistan. Excluding PICT and PT OJA, as well as TICT in 2012, EBITDA growth would have been at 12 percent. Meanwhile, consolidated EBITDA margin increased to 46 percent in the first nine months of 2013 compared to 43 percent in the same period in 2012.

For the quarter ended 30 September 2013 consolidated EBITDA increased 27 percent to US$97.3 million, from US$76.7 million in 2012 while consolidated EBITDA margin also improved to 46 percent compared to 43 percent in the same period in 2012.

Consolidated financing charges and other expenses for the first nine months of 2013 increased 57 percent to US$33.9 million, from US$21.6 million in 2012 due mainly to higher outstanding interest-bearing debt. ICTSI issued US$400 million of 10-year bonds in January 2013 mainly to fund its capital expenditure program for 2013 and refinance medium-term loans.

Capital expenditures for the first half of 2013 amounted to US$357.9 million, approximately 65 percent of the US$550.0 million capital expenditure budget for the full year 2013. The established budget is mainly allocated for the completion of the Company’s terminal development projects in Mexico and Argentina, and the ramp-up of construction activities in Colombia and Davao, southern Philippines.
