CMA CGM unveils $270 million loss in Q3

by Desiree Colmenares / Friday, 18 November 2016 / Published in Blog

CMA CGM, the world’s third-largest container shipping company, posted on Friday another net loss in the third quarter as freight rates remained weak and it integrated Singapore-based NOL, its biggest-ever acquisition.

The sector was showing the “first signs of stabilisation” as operators adjusted capacity but freight rates remained historically low, CMA CGM said on Friday.

The French-based company’s net loss including NOL was $268 million, compared with a $51 million net profit in the third quarter of 2015. Excluding NOL, the net loss was $202 million.

The shipping industry has been struggling with a prolonged downturn linked to vessel overcapacity and faltering economic growth, which contributed earlier this year to the collapse of South Korea’s Hanjin Shipping Co Ltd.

Denmark’s A.P. Moller-Maersk reported earlier this month a third-quarter net loss for Maersk Line, the global leader in container shipping.

The tough environment has prompted consolidation moves in the industry, including CMA CGM’s $2.4 billion takeover of NOL that has given it market leadership on trans-Pacific routes.

CMA CGM, which is privately held by the Saade family, said it had completed on Friday the reimbursement of a $1.6 billion loan taken out to finance the NOL deal, after raising $880 million in a sale-and-leaseback transaction covering 11 ships.

The group had previously paid back half of the loan, supported by a sale-and-leaseback deal for containers and a securitisation programme covering customer debts.

Group sales were boosted by the integration of NOL as of June 14, with total third-quarter sales rising 33.9 percent from a year ago to $4.47 billion.

Shipped volumes were up 35.8 percent including NOL, but fell 2.7 percent on a like-for-like basis, with CMA CGM saying it had focused volumes on more profitable areas.
