The balances and transactions among subsidiaries have been eliminated for the purposes of consolidation, including
balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Grupo TMM’s companies. Unrealized losses on the sale of assets among the Company are eliminated in the consolidation and the asset involved is also reviewed for impairment from a group
perspective. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by Grupo TMM.
Profit or loss and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries acquired or disposed during the year are recognized
from the effective date of acquisition, or up to the effective date of disposal, as applicable.
Non-controlling interest, presented as part of the stockholders’ equity, represents the portion of the
subsidiary’s profit or loss and net assets that are not held by Grupo TMM. The Company attributes the total comprehensive income or loss of the subsidiaries between the owners of the parent and the non-controlling interest based on their
respective ownership interests.
Associates and joint ventures
Associates are all entities over which Grupo TMM has significant influence but not control. A joint venture is a
joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement having rights to the net assets of the arrangement.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted by the equity method and are initially recognized at
their acquisition cost.
The carrying amount of investments in associates and joint ventures is increased or decreased to recognize Grupo
TMM’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture, adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies of the Company.
Unrealized gains on transactions between Grupo TMM and its associates and joint ventures
are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest on those entities. When unrealized losses are eliminated, the asset involved is also tested for impairment.
4.3 |
Business combinations
|
Grupo TMM applies the acquisition method to accounting for business combinations. The consideration transferred by
Grupo TMM to obtain control of a subsidiary is calculated as the sum of the fair values on the acquisition-date of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred, and the equity interests issued by Grupo TMM, which includes, accordingly,
the fair value of any asset or liability that arises from the contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition costs are expensed as incurred.
Grupo TMM recognizes identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the business combination independent
of whether these were recognized in acquirer’s financial statements prior to the acquisition. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are generally measured at their acquisition-date fair value.
Goodwill is stated after the individual recognition of identifiable intangible assets. It is calculated as the
excess of the sum of: a) the fair value of the consideration transferred, b) the amount recognized for any non-controlling interest in the entity acquired, and c) the fair value on the acquisition date of any equity interest in the
acquire, over the acquisition-date the fair values of the identifiable net assets. If the fair values of the identifiable net assets exceed the sum calculated above, this excess amount (e.g. gain on a bargain purchase) is immediately
recognized in profit or loss.
4.4 |
Foreign currency translation
|
Functional and presentation currency
The consolidated financial statements are reported in Mexican pesos, which is also the functional currency of
Grupo TMM.
Foreign currency balances and transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency of the respective Company entity, using
the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions (spot exchange rate). Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the measurement of monetary items denominated in foreign
currency at year-end exchange rates are recognized in profit or loss.
Non-monetary items are not retranslated at year-end and are measured at historical cost (translated using the
exchange rates at the transaction date), except for non-monetary items measured at fair value which are translated using the exchange rates at the date when fair value was determined.
4.5 |
Cash and cash equivalents
|
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash on hand and demand deposits, together with other highly liquid and
short-term investments that are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to insignificant risk of change in their value.
4.6 |
Materials and supplies
|
Materials and supplies, consisting mainly of
fuel and items for the maintenance of property, vessels and equipment, are valued at average cost and acquisition value.
Represent prepayments for services that will be received in the future and are amortized in the period when said
services are received.
4.8 |
Property, vessels and equipment
|
Properties and vessels
The properties (land and buildings) are measured at fair value, which are determined by external professional
valuers every four years or before if the market factors indicate a significant change in the fair value. The last valuation
of these assets was in December 2019.
Until December 31, 2021, the vessels are measured at fair value, the
revalued amounts were determined using the revenue technique (expected future cash flows). The frequency of the revaluations for this class of assets will be based on the changes of the fair values, meaning when these values
significantly differ from their carrying value. The Company has revalued this class of assets through December 31, 2020. At the end of 2022 and 2021 the Company no longer owns these vessels (see Note 9).
The revaluation surplus that is derived from the valuation of properties and vessels is recognized as part of
‘Other comprehensive income items’ and forms part of ‘other capital components’ in stockholders’ investment. A revaluation surplus is credited to income up to an amount equivalent to any revaluation write-down or impairment loss
previously recognized income. Any excess is recognized in ‘Other comprehensive income items’ and in stockholders’ equity in the item of ‘Revaluation surplus’. Revaluation write-downs or impairment losses are recognized in ‘Other
comprehensive income items’ up to the amount previously recognized on that asset in stockholders’ equity in the item of ‘Revaluation surplus’.
Any remaining decrease is recognized in income for the year. Any remaining balance of the revaluation surplus in
stockholders’ equity at the time of disposing of the asset that gave rise thereto is reclassified to retained earnings. Moreover, any remaining balance of the revaluation surplus in stockholders’ equity may not be distributed to
stockholders.
The depreciation of properties and vessels is recognized using the straight-line method to write down its carrying
value less its estimated residual value. As no finite useful life for land can be determined, the related carrying amounts are not depreciated.
Equipment
Equipment is stated at construction or acquisition cost, including any cost directly attributable to bringing the
assets to the location and condition necessary for them to be capable of operating in the manner intended by Grupo TMM’s Management. Acquisitions through capital leases or charter arrangements with an obligation to purchase are
capitalized based on the present value of future minimum payments, recognizing the related liability. Depreciation of equipment is computed using the straight-line method based on the useful lives of the assets net of the estimated
residual value.
Recurring maintenance and repair expenditures are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Major repairs to
vessels (docks) are capitalized and amortized over the period in which benefits are expected to be received (two to five years for vessels). The material residual values and the estimated useful life are adjusted as necessary, at least once a year.
Gains or losses from the disposal of property, vessels and equipment are determined as differences between the
disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets and are recognized in profit or loss as part of ‘Other (expenses) income’, accordingly (see Note 19).
Construction in progress
Disbursements attributable to construction of assets that are identifiable and may be controlled by the Company
are recognized as assets when they meet the following conditions:
|
● |
it is technically possible to complete the construction of the asset so that it can be available to be used;
|
|
● |
management has the intent of completing the asset to use it;
|
|
● |
it can be proven that the asset will generate economic benefits in the future;
|
|
● |
adequate technical, financial or another type of resources are available to complete the asset; and
|
|
● |
the disbursement attributable to the asset during its construction can be determined reliably.
|
The Company as lessee
The Company makes the use of leasing arrangements principally of warehouse, courtyards, corporate building and
cranes. The rental contracts for facilities are typically negotiated for terms of between 1 and 10 years and some of these have extension terms. Lease terms for cranes have lease terms of between 1 and 2 years without any extension terms. The Company
does not enter into sale and leaseback arrangements. All the leases are negotiated on an individual basis and contain a wide variety of different terms and conditions.
The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract. A lease conveys the
right to direct the use and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Some lease contracts contain both lease and non-lease components. These non-lease components are usually
associated with facilities management services. The Company has elected to separate their lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone prices.
Measurement and recognition of leases as a lessee
At lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in its consolidated
statement of financial position. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of the initial measurement of the lease liability.
The Company depreciates the right-of-use asset on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the
earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The Company also assesses the right-of-use asset for impairment when such indicators exist.
At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments
unpaid at that date, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate on the date of the revaluation when the implicit lease rate cannot be easily determined.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability are made up of fixed payments and variable
payments based on an index or rate.
Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced by lease payments that are allocated between
repayments of principal and finance costs. The finance cost is the amount that produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the lease liability.
The lease liability is reassessed when there is a change in the lease payments. Changes in lease payments arising
from a change in the lease term. The revised lease payments are discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at the date of reassessment when the rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined. The amount of the
remeasurement of the lease liability is reflected as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset.
Payments under leases can also change when change through an index or a rate used to determine those payments. The
lease liability is remeasured only when the adjustment to lease payments takes effect and the revised contractual payments for the remainder of the lease term are discounted using an unchanged discount rate.
The remeasurement of the lease liability is dealt with by a reduction in the carrying amount of the right-of-use
asset to reflect the full or partial termination of the lease for lease modifications that reduce the scope of the lease. Any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease is recognized in profit or loss. The
right-of-use asset is adjusted for all other lease modifications.
The Company has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical
expedients. Instead of recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The Company as lessor
As a lessor the Company classifies its leases as either operating or finance leases.
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to
ownership of the underlying asset and classified as an operating lease if it does not.
Recognition of intangible assets
Concession rights
Concession rights correspond to payments made for the rights to operate assets under concession, which are stated
at cost and are amortized over the terms specified in the corresponding agreements.
Software
Software licenses acquired are capitalized on the basis of costs incurred to acquire and install the specific
software.
Trademark
The trademark acquired in a business combination that qualifies for separate recognition is considered an
intangible asset and is recorded at its fair value.
Subsequent measuring
All finite-lived intangible assets are accounted for using the cost model by which the net capitalized costs of
their residual value are amortized using the straight-line method throughout their estimated useful lives, in the case of the concession rights; these are amortized according to the term specified in the corresponding agreement. The
residual values and useful lives are reviewed at each reporting date. The trademark is considered an intangible asset with an indefinite life; therefore, it is subject to impairment tests annually as described in Note 13.
The amortization is included in the consolidated statement of operations as part of the depreciation,
amortization, and loss on revaluation item. Subsequent expenditures to preserve software and trademarks are expensed as incurred.
4.11 |
Impairment testing of long-lived assets
|
For impairment assessment purposes, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are largely
independent cash inflows (cash-generating units). As a result, some assets are tested individually for impairment and some are tested at cash-generating unit level.
Trademark is allocated to those cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from synergies of a related
business combination and represent the lowest level within the Company at which management monitors the trademark.
Cash-generating units to which trademark has been allocated (determined by the Grupo TMM’s Management as
equivalent to its operating segments) are tested for impairment at least annually. All other individual assets or cash-generating units are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount may not be recoverable.
An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s (or cash-generating unit’s) carrying amount
exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of fair value less costs of disposal and value-in-use. To determine the value-in-use, management estimates expected future cash flows from each cash-generating unit and determines a
suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.
The data used for impairment testing procedures are directly linked to the Grupo TMM’s latest approved budget,
adjusted as necessary to exclude the effects of future reorganizations and asset enhancements. Discount factors are determined individually for each cash-generating unit and reflect current market assessments of the time value of money
and asset-specific risk factors.
Impairment losses for cash-generating units reduce first the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to that
cash-generating unit. Any remaining impairment loss is charged pro rata to the other assets in the cash-generating unit.
With the exception of the trademark, all assets are subsequently reassessed for indications that an impairment
loss previously recognized may no longer exist. An impairment loss is reversed if the asset’s or cash-generating unit’s recoverable amount exceeds its carrying amount.
4.12 |
Non-current assets classified as held for
sale
|
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are presented separately
and measured at the lower of their carrying amounts immediately prior to their classification as held for sale and their fair value less costs to sell. Once classified as held for sale, the assets are not subject to depreciation or
amortisation.
4.13 |
Financial instruments
|
Recognition and derecognition
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual
provisions of the financial instrument.
Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flow from a financial asset expire, or
when the financial asset and all the substantial risks and benefits have been transferred. A financial liability is derecognized as extinguished, discharged, canceled, or expired.
Classification and initial measurement of financial assets
Except for those trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component and are measured at the
transaction price in accordance with IFRS 15, all financial assets are initially measured at fair value, adjusted by transaction costs (where applicable).
Financial assets are classified into the following categories:
|
● |
fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)
|
|
● |
fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI).
|
In the periods presented the Company does not have any financial assets categorized as FVTPL or FVOCI.
The classification is determined by both:
|
● |
the Company’s business model for managing the financial asset; and
|
|
● |
the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.
|
All income and expenses relating to financial assets that are recognized in profit or loss are presented within
financial costs and income; except for impairment of trade receivables which is presented in the heading of ‘Other costs and expenses’.
Subsequent measurement of financial assets
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets are measured at amortized cost if the assets meet the following conditions:
|
● |
they are held within a business model whose objective is to hold the financial assets and collect its contractual cash flows; and
|
|
● |
the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount
outstanding.
|
After initial recognition, these are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The financial
assets of the Company are not discounted since it is not material. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and part of the other accounts receivable fall into this category of financial instruments.
Impairment of financial assets
IFRS 9’s impairment requirements use more forward-looking information to recognize expected
credit losses – the ‘expected credit loss (ECL) model’. Instruments within the scope of the new requirements included mainly trade receivables, contract assets recognized and measured under IFRS 15, other accounts receivables and accounts
receivable from related parties.
Recognition of credit losses considers a broader range of information when assessing credit
risk and measuring expected credit losses, including past events, current conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the expected collectability of the future cash flows of the instrument.
Grupo TMM makes use of a simplified approach in accounting for trade and other accounts receivables as well as
contract assets and records the loss allowance as lifetime expected credit losses. These are the expected shortfalls in contractual cash flows, considering the potential for default at any point during the life of the financial
instrument. In calculating, the Company uses its historical experience, external indicators and forward-looking information to calculate the expected credit losses.
The Company assess impairment of trade receivables based on the characteristics of the business segment, when
appropriate this assessment is made on a collective basis as they possess shared credit risk characteristics, they have been grouped based on the days past due. Refer to Note 26, for a detailed analysis of how the impairment requirements
of IFRS 9 are applied.
Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities include borrowings, trade and other payables. Financial liabilities are
initially measured at fair value, and, where applicable, adjusted for transaction costs. Subsequently, financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
All interest-related charges are included within finance costs or finance income.
4.14 |
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
|
Provisions are recognized when the present obligations resulting from a past event will probably lead to an
outflow of the Company economic resources and the amounts can be reliably estimated. Timing or amount of the outflow may still be uncertain. A present obligation arises from a presence of a legal or constructive commitment that has
resulted from past events. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
Provisions are the estimated amounts required to be expended to settle the present obligation based on the most
reliable evidence available at the date of the consolidated financial statements, including the risks and uncertainties associated with the present obligation. Provisions are discounted at their present value, where the time value of
money is material.
All provisions are reviewed on the issuance of the financial statements and adjusted to reflect the current best
estimate. When an outflow of economic resources for present obligations is not probable, this is not recognized as a liability, unless it was assumed in the course of a business combination. Such cases are disclosed as contingent
liabilities unless the outflow of resources is remote.
Possible inflows of the Company’s economic benefits, which do not yet meet the criteria for recognition of an
asset, are considered as contingent assets.
Calculation of current income tax is based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially
enacted to the reporting date of the consolidated financial statements.
Deferred income tax is determined using the liability method, based on temporary differences arising between the
tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the financial statements. Determination of deferred income tax has considered tax rates that will be effective at the time of reversion of the temporary differences.
The income tax expense in the statement of profit or loss includes the sum of the deferred tax, which has not been
recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in stockholders’ equity, and the current income tax for the year.
Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit against which
temporary differences can be utilized will be available (see Note 21).
This is assessed based on the Company’s forecast of future operating results, adjusted for significant items that
are reconciled for the taxable income and the limits on the use of tax losses and other tax asset carryforwards.
Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates,
except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
4.16 |
Statutory employee profit sharing
|
The statutory employee profit sharing is determined applying the rate of 10% on taxable income, adjusted as
provided for by the Income Tax Law. The statutory employee profit sharing accrued is considered an ordinary expense associated with employee benefits.
4.17 |
Post-employment benefits and benefits for short-term employees
|
Post-employment benefits
Defined benefit plans
The seniority pension to which employees are entitled after 15 years of service and after having retired at the age of 60,
are expensed in the years in which the services are rendered (see Note 23).
In addition, the Company has pension plans for certain employees who retire after the age of 65 (or early retirement at 60
or 55), in addition to having completed a minimum 15 years of service, which are expensed in the years in which the services are rendered (see Note 23).
Under the defined benefits plan, the pension amount an employee will receive upon retirement is determined in
reference to the time of service and salary determined for each case based on the plan. The legal obligation of the benefits lies with Grupo TMM, even if the plan’s assets to finance the defined benefits plan are separate. The plan’s
assets may include assets specifically designated in a long-term benefit fund.
The liability recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position for the defined benefits plans is the
present value of the defined benefits obligation (DBO) as of the reporting date less the fair value of the plan assets.
Management estimates the DBO annually with the assistance of independent actuaries, based on the standard
inflation rate, the salary growth rates, and the mortality rate. The discount factors are determined near the close of each year in reference to the high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits
will be paid and which have maturities similar to the terms of the corresponding pension liability.
The net cost for the defined benefits liability period is included in the item ‘Salaries, wages and employee
benefits’ in the consolidated statements of profit or loss.
Indemnifications
Indemnifications that are not substitutive of retirement, paid to personnel who leave the company due to
restructuring or any other reason, are charged to the operations for the period when incurred or provisions are created when there is a present obligation of these events, with a probability of an outflow of resources and this obligation
can be reasonably estimated.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits, including vacation entitlement, are current liabilities included in ‘Accounts
payable and accrued expenses’, measured at the amount Grupo TMM expects to pay as a result of time not taken; as these liabilities are short-term, they were not discounted as their effect is considered immaterial.
4.18 |
Stockholders’ equity
|
Common shares are classified as equity. Grupo TMM does not have other equity instruments in addition to its common
shares.
Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in equity as a deduction,
net of taxes, from the proceeds. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are included in the cost of acquisition as part of the purchase consideration.
The accumulated losses include the profit (loss) for the year and previous periods.
Other components of equity capital include:
|
● |
revaluation surplus, including gains and losses from the revaluation of vessels and properties;
|
|
● |
statutory reserve corresponds to the separation of earnings withheld for this reserve;
|
|
● |
additional paid-in capital is equivalent to the amount received in excess of the par value of the shares;
|
|
● |
translation result represents the cumulative effect of the change in functional currency in previous years; and
|
|
● |
actuarial gains and losses include experience adjustments (the effects of differences between the previous actuarial assumptions and what has actually
occurred); and the effects of changes in actuarial assumptions.
|
4.19 |
Recognition of revenue, costs and expenses, and financing costs
|
Revenues
Company’s revenue arises mainly from services of maritime transportation, logistics and warehousing. To determine
whether to recognize revenue, the Company follows a 5-step process:
|
1. |
Identifying the contract with a customer
|
|
2. |
Identifying the performance obligations
|
|
3. |
Determining the transaction price
|
|
4. |
Allocating the transaction price to the performance obligations
|
|
5. |
Recognizing revenue when/as performance obligation(s) are satisfied.
|
The Company does not carry out transactions that involve different contracts and on which their characteristics
must be combined in accordance with IFRS. Moreover, transactions are not usually carried out that involve different services as part of the same contract; therefore, the total price of the transaction for a contract in all cases is
allocated to a single performance obligation, based on their relative independent sales prices. The transaction price for contracts does not consider variable payments, except for certain service payments that are not considered
significant in connection with the total revenues of the Company, nor are payments in kind, nor amounts collected on behalf of third parties and nor contemplate a financing component.
All revenues are recognized over time, as the Company meets performance obligations by transferring the services
promised to its customers.
When the Company meets a performance obligation before receiving the payment, the Company already recognizes
either a contract asset or a receivable in its consolidated statement of financial position, depending upon if something else is required than only passage of time before the consideration becomes due. The Company generally does not
receive payments in advance in connection with performance obligations; therefore, contractual liabilities are not required to be recognized.
In obtaining these contracts, the Company incurs immaterial incremental costs. Since the amortization period of
these costs would be less than one year, if capitalized, and also that those costs are immaterial, the Company makes use of the practical expedient in IFRS 15.94 and expenses them as they incur.
Offshore vessels and “loderos”
These revenues derive from the transport of materials, personnel, equipment and spare parts,
positioning and handling of anchors of marine platforms and barges, support for inspection and underwater exploration with specialized vessels, protection services provided with ships against fire, and administration and operation of
ships to third parties, as well as offshore and in-port fluid processing services, through Grupo TMM or third-party vessels, usually in periods of 1 year for ‘time charter’ contracts and 1 to 30 days, under the ‘SPOT’ mode, the rate is fixed and is established at the beginning of the contract based on market prices.
The performance obligation is satisfied when the offshore services are provided and received
by the customers, the revenues are recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the term of each contract. Since the costs required to provide service under these contracts do not vary significantly, such method best depicts the
transfer of services.
Amounts that remain uncollected at the end of the reporting period are presented in the
statement of financial position as contract assets as it takes more than just a passage of time for them to become due for payment. Grupo TMM generally does not receive advances in excess of the amount of obligations satisfied and
therefore no balances of contract liabilities are incurred.
Parcel vessels and bulk carriers
These revenues are derived from the transportation of merchandise through the Company’s own shipments or third
parties, usually in periods ranging between 7 and 30 days. The rate is fixed and it is set at the beginning of the contract, based on the space or capacity required by the customer. The performance obligation is met
as the merchandise is transported from the point of origin to the destination. Revenues are recognized over time on a straight-line basis during the term of each contract. Given that the costs required for rendering the service under
these contracts do not vary significantly, that method provides a reasonable representation of the services transferred.
The amounts that remain unbilled at the end of the reporting period are presented in the consolidated statement of
financial position as contractual assets, since something additional is required in addition to time elapsed in order for those amounts to become due and payable. The Company generally does not receive advances that exceed the amount of
obligations met; therefore, contract liability balances are not generated.
Maritime administration services
Until the month of August 2022, they correspond to revenues for services rendered for contracting, operating, and managing shipments, mainly
offshore service providers. The rate for these services is determined by applying a 2.85% profit margin to the costs
incurred by the Company for rendering services. This percentage is reviewed annually, and it can be increased under certain circumstances, but by applying it beginning the year subsequent to its modification, these services are
considered a single performance obligation. Accordingly, the consideration is totally allocated; revenues are recognized over time as the related costs are incurred by applying the corresponding profit margin. The amounts are billed
monthly, in accordance with these referred to above; therefore, neither asset balances nor contract liabilities are generally generated.
Ship repair services (shipyard) and containers
Correspond to revenues for minor and major repairs and maintenance to ships made at the facilities of the Company
(shipyard), as well as containers of shipping companies and others such as wharfage. The consideration for the services is fixed, and it is determined in the contract based on the work ordered, including materials and replacement parts,
which must be realized in an estimated period for the work, which ranges from 2 days up to 60 days for ships, and from 1 day
up to 6 days for containers. Wharfage depends on the considerations of the ship from 1 to 365 days, due to the high degree of
interdependence among the various elements of these services. They are recorded in the accounting as a single performance obligation. These revenues are recognized over time in conformity with the completion of the services agreed upon.
The Company measures its completion toward total compliance of the performance obligation by comparing real hours
invested up to the date with the total estimated hours required to perform the repair or maintenance, including related costs. This base reasonably represents services transferred to each customer, by virtue of the ability of the Company
to make reliable estimates based on its significant historical experience in rendering these services.
The amounts that remain unbilled at the end of the reporting period are presented in the consolidated statement of
financial position as contractual assets, since something additional is required in addition to time passaged in order for those amounts to become due and payable. The Company generally does not receive advances that exceed the amount of
obligations met; therefore, liabilities balances are not generated.
Other services
The Company obtains revenues for other services such as suppliers,
agency, port formalities, among other things. Most of these services are considered single performance obligations in the terms of the respective contracts, and the consideration is entirely allocated to those performance obligations.
Revenues are recognized over time, since customers receive and consume the benefits as the Company renders the services, that is, as the performance obligations are met. The Company does not generate asset balances or contract
liabilities for most of these services. The Company acts as an agent for the specific case of agency services and, therefore, it recognizes the revenues corresponding to the profit margin generated net of the costs incurred.
Costs and expenses
The costs and expenses for maritime, and also those related to other logistics operations, are recognized in
operations when the services are rendered, materials are consumed or as incurred.
Financing income and costs
Interest income and expense are reported as accrued using the effective interest method and are reported as part
of the comprehensive financing cost.
4.20 |
Information by segments
|
The Company has four
operating segments: maritime division, maritime infrastructure, logistics ports and terminals division and warehousing division. These operating segments are monitored by the Company’s
Management, who are responsible for making strategic decisions, which are made based on adjusted operating segment results. In identifying its operating segments. Management follows Grupo TMM’s service lines, which represent the main
services provided by the Company.
Each of these operating segments is managed separately as each of these service lines requires different
technologies and other resources as well as marketing approaches. All inter-segment transfers are carried out at market prices.
The accounting policies Grupo TMM uses for segment reporting are the same as those used in its consolidated
financial statements, with the exception that corporate assets which are not directly attributable to the business activities of any operating segment are not allocated. In the financial periods presented, this primarily applies to Grupo
TMM’s corporate headquarters.
4.21 |
Significant management judgment in applying accounting policies and estimation uncertainty
|
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, Management considers a number of judgments, estimates and
assumptions about recognition and measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses.
Significant management judgment
The reporting judgments made by Management as to the application of the accounting policies of the Company that
would have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements are described following.
Evaluation of control, significant influence, and joint control
Management evaluates the terms of voting power with respect to its investees, the power to govern, decisions,
contractual and legal agreements, upon determining if there is control, significant influence, and joint control. Significant judgment is required by evaluating some of these characteristics that can be modified over time (see Note 4.2).
Estimation uncertainty
Information about estimates and assumptions that have the most significant effect on the recognition and
measurement of assets, liabilities, income and expenses is provided below; actual results may be substantially different.
Impairment of long-lived assets
On assessing impairment, Management determines the recoverable value of each asset or cash generating unit based
on the expected future cash flows and determines an adequate interest rate to be able to calculate the present value of these cash flows.
The uncertainty in the estimate is related to the assumptions regarding results of future operations and the
determination of suitable discount rate.
Useful lives of depreciable assets
Management reviews the useful lives of the depreciable assets on each reporting date, based on the expected use of
each asset. The uncertainty in these estimates is derived from the technical obsolescence that could change the expected use of vessels and other equipment.
Defined benefits obligation
Management’s estimate of the DBO is based on a number of critical assumptions, such as inflation rates, mortality
rates, discount rate, and a consideration for future salary increases. The variances in these assumptions can impact the amount of the DBO and the corresponding annual expense for defined benefits (the analysis is provided in Note 23).
Measures of fair value
Management uses valuation techniques to measure the fair value of its properties. This results in Management preparing estimates and assumptions based on market
information and using observable data that could be used by market participants to assign a price to the asset. These fair value estimates for these non-financial assets can vary from the actual prices obtained on operations at market
value on the reporting date, as well as future results and the discount rate (see Note 25).
Leases – determination of the appropriate discount rate to measure lease liabilities
As noted above, the Company enters into leases with third-party landlords and as a consequence the rate implicit in the relevant lease is not
readily determinable. Therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for determining its lease liabilities at the lease commencement date. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest
that the Company would have to pay to borrow over similar terms which requires estimations when no observable rates are available.
These rates are, where necessary, then adjusted to reflect the credit worthiness of the entity
entering into the lease and the specific condition of the underlying leased asset.
Effect of estimation uncertainty:
The effect of a change in the incremental borrowing rate for leases entered into during the reporting period is
