The Chairman’s Cup cites the best-performing terminals in the ICTSI Group for the preceding year. Management uses a comprehensive set of criteria to benchmark terminal performance, namely: (1) growth in revenue; (2) earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA); (3) net income; (4) improvements in return on invested capital (ROIC); and (5) cash distributions to parent company. Aside from the champion terminal, two runner-up terminals were recognized: the Baltic Container Terminal (BCT) in Gdynia, Poland was first runner up, while Madagascar International Container Terminal Services Ltd. (MICTSL) in Toamasina,
Madagascar emerged second runner up. The Chairman’s Cup serves as a way to motivate subsidiaries to improve their performance. Considering that different regions present different challenges, every terminal needs to think outside the box and come up with solutions to overcome these hurdles. The Chairman’s Cup awarding ceremony is held every March. A perpetual trophy, a sculpture by Philippine National Artist Arturo Luz, is awarded to the champion. The champion terminal will be the home of the trophy for a year before it gets passed on to the next year’s champion.

Arturo Luz, Philippine National Artist
A founding member of the modern Neo-realist school in Philippine art, he became a recipient of the National Artist Award back in 1997. ICTSI Chairman Enrique K. Razon Jr., an avid art enthusiast and benefactor, chose a masterpiece of a national artist as the championship trophy for the Chairman’s Cup to give credence to the ICTSI Group’s best terminals, This year’s winner gets to keep the trophy for a year before it is passed on to the next winner of the Chairman’s Cup. Aside from this perpetual trophy, the winners get individual plaques.

Terminal utilization at MICT reaches optimal efficiency levels Despite growing container volume at the country’s largest and sole-dedicated container handling facility, utilization levels at the ICTSI flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) remained steady at 65 percent to 75 percent during the months of March and April. “Overall productivity, yard utilization, truck turnaround time and vessel berthing have normalized at our terminal,” said Christian L. Lozano, ICTSI Commercial Director. Saying that the Holy Week, a period during which the country’s roads are congested due to the influx of holiday travelers, was not an exception, Mr. Lozano cited utilization levels of 59 percent and 61 percent on Holy Wednesday and Easter Monday, respectively. “These figures are indicative of a healthy terminal operating efficiency both in the quayside, yards and gates,” he added.
Pre-advise system On 16 March, MICT implemented a pre-advise system for export containers. Designed to fast-track the return of containers to the terminal, the preadvise system greatly reduced the waiting and queuing time for trucks resulting in improved terminal efficiency and productivity. First quarter figures reveal that MICT had repositioned a record number of empty containers resulting in overall decrease in empty inventories within Metro Manila. Reports also indicate that depot utilization levels have also normalized.
“Overall productivity, yard utilization, truck turnaround time and vessel berthing have normalized at our terminal,” — Christian L. Lozano, ICTSI Commercial Director.

“Cautious, yet decisive, we pulled through” – this was the story for International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) in 2014. Delivering the Chairman’s Report, Enrique K. Razon Jr., ICTSI Chairman and President, shared Company’s milestones from the previous year, specifically noting that for the first time, ICTSI’s revenues breached the US$1 billion mark. Overall figures pointed to a strong year for the ICTSI Group. Here is the full text of the Chairman’s Report:
The year 2014 was marked by a key and significant milestone for ICTSI. For the first time ever, our revenues breached the US1 billion mark. Revenue from port operations grew to US$1.1 billion, an increase of 24 percent over the US$852.4 million reported in 2013.
The robust growth in revenue was a result of the contributions from our new terminals, and a 45 percent revenue growth from the consolidation of the Yantai terminals in China. Without the new terminals, organic revenue growth would have been eight percent. 2014 Highlights Another highlight of the year was the inauguration in January of our newly built terminal in Manzanillo, Mexico, managed by our wholly owned subsidiary, Contecon Manzanillo. The terminal is equipped with four super post-Panamax quay cranes, which are the fastest and largest cranes in the ICTSI Group. The second Specialized Container Terminal in the country’s busiest
port is the most dynamic and state of the art terminal in Mexico. Also in January, we formed a joint venture, ICTSI DR Congo, with Simobile to develop a river port in Matadi, Democratic Republic of Congo. Matadi is the most important port on the Congo River, and we intend to optimize its location by implementing our brand of service in this part of Africa upon its completion in 2016. In Nigeria, we signed an agreement to sell 25 percent of our shareholding in Lekki International Container Terminal to CMA Terminals, the world’s third largest carrier. In April, we signed a contract with the General Company for Ports of Iraq (GCPI) to operate, develop and expand general cargo and container facilities at the Port of Umm Qasr. In November, our Iraqi operations were in full swing. The operations in Iraq are already doing well and we have started construction of the new container berth. In May, we concluded our first port concession in Australia. Victoria International Container Terminal (VICT) signed a contract with the Port of Melbourne for the development, management and operation of the Webb Dock Container Terminal. To be completed in early 2017, VICT will be our first fully automated terminal and the first of its kind in the Oceania region. In June, we signed a termination agreement with Larsen & Toubro to cancel our contract for the Kattupalli Container

Terminal in Tamil Nadu, India. This mutual decision came about after realizing that the contract was not beneficial to either party. The cancellation had no effect on our global operations, and we were reimbursed for all expenses related to Kattupalli. We will continue to actively search for opportunities in India. In July, and as previously mentioned, the Port Authority of Yantai in China consolidated all the container terminals handling foreign cargo into one terminal company, and ICTSI acquired 51 percent of the new company, Yantai International Container Terminal. Group Volumes For the year, the ICTSI Group handled consolidated volume of 7,438,635 TEUs, 18 percent more than the 6,309,840 TEUs in 2013. The increase was mainly due to volumes generated by our new operations in Mexico and Honduras; the positive impact of the port consolidation in China; and a 20 percent volume growth in Poland. Excluding new terminals, organic volume increased by slightly more than two percent. Our seven key operations in Manila, Brazil, Poland, Madagascar, China, Ecuador and Pakistan accounted for 70 percent of the Group’s consolidated volume. Financial Performance Revenue from port operations grew 24 percent to US$1.1 billion over US$852.4 million in 2013. Consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) increased 17 percent to US$443 million from US$377.3 million in 2013. Meanwhile, the EBITDA margin decreased slightly to 42 percent from 44 percent in the previous year mainly as a result of the impact of operating costs of the new terminals and higher business development expenses. Net income increased six percent to US$182 million from US$172.4 recorded in 2013. Income growth was slightly tempered by start-up costs and operating expenses in Mexico and Honduras, higher depreciation, and increased interest expense. Net income was affected by non-recurring items such as gains on the sale of a non-operating subsidiary in the Philippines, the termination of the contract in India, settlement of insurance claims, and the consolidation in China. These items were offset against an impairment charge by our subsidiary in Argentina. Excluding the non-recurring items, net income would have been flat at US$172.6 million. Diluted earnings per share for the period was likewise higher by 5 percent at US$0.075 from US$0.071. Consolidated cash operating expenses in 2014 grew 26 percent to US$454.5 million from US$359.5 million, again reflecting the ramp-up of operations. Excluding the cash operating expenses of the new terminals, total cash operating expenses would have increased by only seven percent. Capital expenditure in 2014 amounted to US$279 million
against a full year capital expenditure budget of US$310 million. The year’s capital expenditure was primarily for the development in Mexico and Argentina, expansion in Croatia, facilities rehabilitation in Honduras, and the start of development in D.R. Congo. The Group’s capital expenditure budget for 2015 is approximately US$530 million. This will be allocated for the development of D.R. Congo, capacity expansion in Manila, and the new terminals in Iraq and Australia. For ICTSI’s joint venture terminal development project with PSA International in Colombia, the Company invested US$64.7 million in 2014, and we expect to invest approximately US$140 million in 2015 to complete phase one of the project. Principal redemption profile The Company undertook several fund raising, re-financing and liability management exercises during the year. Given very favorable financial markets and the low interest rate environment, we took advantage of our Medium Term Note Programme. Our liability management enabled us to reduce funding costs and extend maturities of our securities and bonds by successfully concluding exchange programs. Citations During the year in review, the ICTSI Group continued to be recognized as a pioneering company not only in the Philippines but in the region as well. In September, the ASEAN Business Advisory Council honored us with the highest business recognition in the country by bestowing on us the Corporate Excellence Award in the Large Enterprise Category. ICTSI was cited “not only for its outstanding growth performance, but also for its commitment to the welfare of its employees, as well as its impactful corporate social responsibility programs.” In October, Hong Kong-based Corporate Governance Asia recognized ICTSI as an “Icon on Corporate Governance.” And in November, United Kingdom-based World Finance awarded ICTSI with the Port Project Sponsor Award for “exceptional work in sponsoring a wide variety of deals.” The Nikkei Asian Review also included ICTSI in its “ASEAN all-stars” listing, citing ICTSI as one of the region’s leading publicly listed companies. Moving forward After two decades in this business, the zest that we have for our work is stronger than ever. The daily challenge of finding an even better way of operating our terminals, the effort to deliver world class service, the complexity of interacting with diverse cultures – all combine to motivate us to outdo ourselves. The next year will be no different. We continue to be grateful to our host governments, our business partners, our clients and our employees. Thank you for your trust in ICTSI.

CGSA: an "eco-efficient" company
The Ministerio del Ambiente (MAE), Ecuador’s Ministry of Environment, awarded Contecon Guayaquil S. A. (CGSA) the Ecuadorean Environmental Certification for being an “eco-efficient” company. The certification, awarded in March, is given to companies who are able to implement four “cleanest production” processes in line with environmental licenses. In 2014, CMSA implemented the following projects, which was duly acknowledged by the MAE: • Project 1: Electrification of eight rubber tired gantry (RTG) cranes, which reduced diesel consumption; • Project 2: Replacing power packs with reefers as power supply, which also reduced diesel consumption; • Project 3: Implementation of cargo weighing in cranes, which optimized cargo handling and lowered carbon dioxide emissions; and • Project 4: Using automatic power on RTGs, which reduced lubricant oil use CMSA is the first eco-efficient port operator in Ecuador and the second company in the country to receive the certification.

ICTSI Foundation Scholars receive top honors By Francis Bartolome
Two scholars of the ICTSI Foundation, Inc. proved that hard work has its rewards as they graduated as valedictorians of their respective batches.
Vincent Emannuel P. Salibio of Tondo, Manila and Shaina Jane Hugo of Davao City, two of the 95 Foundation scholars who recently graduated from high school, exemplified diligence and hard work in both their academic and extra-curricular activities. Mr. Salibio graduated from the Raja Soliman Science and Technology High School.

ICTSI supports Antarctic expedition International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) sponsored one of the explorers participating in the International Antarctic Expedition 2015 (IAE 2015), a 13-day journey last March to the highest, driest, coldest and windiest continent on the planet. ICTSI supported Ms. Ny-Ann Nolasco, a Sustainable Management MBA and MPA candidate at the Presidio Graduate School. Out of the 6,000 applicants, she was one of the few selected by the 2041 organization to participate in this year’s Antarctic expedition and represent the Philippines. Ms. Nolasco said in her crowdfunding campaign that “An expedition to Antarctica would be a learning experience to complement the impact I intend to effect in the Philippines. The goal is simple: to use the perspective gained to further sustainability efforts in the Philippines by engaging private and public sectors.
I fully intend to take my education on Sustainability Management back to the Philippines and give back in any way I can.” ICTSI supported Ms. Nolasco through Fernando L. Gaspar, ICTSI Senior Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer. The expedition is part of the Leadership on the Edge Program of Rob Swan, founder of 2041. The IAE 2015, which started in 13 March and ended in 25 March, aims to enhance the leadership skills of every participant and increase their awareness on the effects of climate change.

TECH TALK
ITSS implements new Help Desk system By Albert Joseph Canceran
The Information Technology Systems and Services (ITSS) Department of the Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) recently rolled out ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus, a new ticket-management platform for providing technical support on IT systems. Integrated with an asset management module, ServiceDesk Plus is a help desk software based on the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) framework – a set of IT services management practices that help match IT services with the needs of the business. Some of ServiceDesk Plus’ functionalities include multi-channel support, service level agreement (SLA), knowledge base, workflow automation, notifications and reporting. In addition, it also features
automatic asset discovery and software and license management tools. For any service request or incidents involving hardware, software, business applications, email and phone systems, the user needs to email ServiceDesk Plus (ServiceDesk@ictsi.com) or log in to the ServiceDesk Plus Portal (http://servicedesk.ictsi. com) using their log in credentials. Once the user completes the incident report or service request, the system automatically sends a confirmation email to the user along with a corresponding ticket number acknowledging the request. The support group then responds to the issue and updates the ticket accordingly. Once the issue or request is resolved, the ticket is closed and the user is notified. “The new help desk system enables me to manage incidents and collaborate with end users and technical groups efficiently. It also allows for paperless help desk transactions, enabling me to effectively track ticket status, monitor tasks and customize reports as needed. For us, this is a significant step towards meeting our KPIs,” said Alejandra T. Tolentino, ITSS Help Desk Supervisor. MICT implemented ServiceDesk Plus with the help of the Global Information Technology Department.

MICT launches STAR training for supervisors With reports from Conn Dizon
The Human Resources Department (HRD) of ICTSI flagship Manila International Container Terminal (MICT) launched a leadership training program for supervisors, the Supervisory Training to Achieve Results (STAR).
The first batch of trainees for the STAR program.
Launched last 4 – 6 March at the Island Cove Resort in Cavite City, the first batch of supervisors was trained on proven supervisory techniques that they can immediately apply. Participants were trained to leverage both hard skills and people skills to manage everyday work functions more effectively as they meet new challenges that require increased confidence, respect and effectiveness. HRD tapped CORE Consultants in the implementation of the STAR program.
