Grupo Traxion | 3Q19 Quarterly Earnings Release 3

Message from the Executive President

Dear fellow shareholders.

It is a great privilege to present our third quarter financial and operating results. TRAXION celebrated its second-year anniversary of being a publicly traded company this quarter. We are very proud to have become the most important transportation company in the country that provides integrated solutions in mobility and logistics in Mexico and serves as a benchmark for the sector.

Aside from our excellent quarterly results, the first nine months of the year have been outstanding, to that extent that we revised upwards our estimated earnings for 2019. TRAXION expects to close the year with revenues of around 12 billion pesos, and an EBITDA margin of about 21%. This outcome driven by best-in-class execution capabilities, and the excellent long-term relationships with our clients. We provide them with high-level service solutions, and they entrust us with their logistics, staff and merchandise mobility.

Since its IPO, TRAXION has invested more than 5.2 billion pesos in organic fleet growth, and more than 1.6 billion pesos in strategic acquisitions. This capital deployment has expanded the Company’s service offering and driven operating consolidation, and enabled TRAXION to enter several business niches via acquisitions. In addition, the capital deployment helped boost the development of other segments organically, while we expand and improve our financial and operating results.

Today, TRAXION is a more robust and profitable company, with an integrated service offering in freight, logistics, and personal mobility. We have expanded to different niches such as refrigerated freight, petrochemicals and other materials transportation, last-mile, courier and packaging. We have expanded in e-commerce and other logistics channels, which can be developed internally by TRAXION so we can become a more relevant player in this high-growth market in Mexico.

During the third quarter, TRAXION recorded consolidated revenues of 3.13 billion pesos, a 29.8% growth compared to the same period last year. The Company’s EBITDA reached 696 million pesos; a 40.5% increase compared to the same quarter in 2018. Net income reported a growth of 14.7% to reach 139 million pesos in the quarter. As you can see, these financial figures reflect the stability and growth of our business since its IPO.

On the operational side, our average fleet grew 1,162 power units. Kilometers driven reached 140.1 million, which represents a 26.4% increase. In terms of pricing, revenue per kilometer grew 10.6% and 9.0% in cargo and passenger transportation, respectively. Not only is TRAXION becoming more efficient in utilizing its fleet, but it is also selling a larger kilometer volume at higher prices, which translates in improved profitability and capacity.

I would like to highlight some details I consider especially relevant. Based on the 2019 nine-month accumulated figures, EBITDA grew by 58.7% and the margin expanded 265 basis points. Net income increased 32.0%, whereas operating cash flow grew more than 80.0%. These figures speak for themselves.

Finally, I want to thank all our investors, and the great Traxion family, as without their support, effort and dedication, the Company would not be where it is today.

Sincerely, Aby Lijtszain Chernizky

Co-Founder and Executive President
