B. Business of Issuer

1. Description of Registrant

i. Lorenzo Shipping Corporation was founded and incorporated in 1972. The Company owns and operates vessels with which it provides domestic inter-island cargo liner services to the general public. The Company’s business focus has evolved from that of being a break-bulk cargo carrier to a fully containerized cargo shipping company.

Lorenzo Shipping Corporation owns a fleet of five (5) vessels and four (4) vessels under a transport service contract deployed to the key ports in Manila, Visayas and Mindanao. The Company’s vessels have a capacity ranging from 300 TEUs to 797 TEUs with speeds of 11 knots to 15 knots. LSC owns various equipment and facilities to efficiently handle customers’ cargoes including a) land-based equipment such as forklifts, top lifts and trucks and b) container yards and warehouses in its branches and agencies.

ii. The Company is engaged solely in domestic inter-island cargo liner services, thus, the

foreign sales requirement is not applicable.

iii. Lorenzo Shipping Corporation markets its services through a network of branches and agencies nationwide. The network is comprised of six branches: Cebu, Davao, General Santos, Cotabato, Iloilo, Cagayan de Oro and three agencies: Zamboanga, Dumaguete and Bacolod.

LSC provides 20-foot and 40-foot dry containers to its customers in which they can load their cargoes to various ports. LSC also carries rolling cargoes such as heavy equipment, trucks and vehicles as well as non-containerized cargoes such as steel products and bridging materials.

iv. Competitive business conditions and the registrant’s competitive position in the industry

and methods of competition:

LSC is one of the key players in the domestic containerized cargo shipping industry. It operates in the major ports of the country and deploys a fleet of nine (9) vessels.

LSC considers other containerized cargo shipping companies as its competitors such as 2GO Group, Inc. (2GO), Philippine Span Asia Carrier Corp.

Plan of Operation

The Company’s turnaround plans are already starting to reap benefits as noted in the significant improvement in its Direct Costs. EBITDA is declining because of the reduction in average freight revenue which is still due to overcapacity in the market. There are ongoing efforts at revenue recovery in the form of bunker recovery, excise tax recovery, and arrastre recovery charges. The same plans shall be carried through up to the succeeding year.

1. Improvement in vessel and service reliability remains to be the Company’s top priority. Partnership with selected carriers will be enhanced for utmost flexibility especially in cases when there are excess volumes and/or service disruptions.

2. Emphasis is given on maximizing vessel capacity especially northbound and inter-port volumes

using optimized pricing schemes.

3. Significant reduction of operating costs such as trucking, fuel, terminal, and cargo handling has been given priority through a focused and flexible organizational structure and appropriate system-enhancement.

4. Implementation is now underway for programs to manage profit leakage, focusing largely on claims reduction, improved billing and collection cycle, and operations process streamlining through people, process, and technology intervention.

5. Depending on market condition, any excess capacity and non-profitable routes are being closely monitored and rationalized as necessary.

CALENDAR YEAR 2018

Results of Operations Lorenzo Shipping Corporation (“LSC”) recorded P1.97 Billion in total freight revenues in 2018, at 10% or P211 Million lower than the P2.18 Billion revenues in 2017. The decline in freight revenue was due to competitive pressure on freight base as a result of increased industry vessel capacity. To compensate for the decrease in average freight revenue, LSC focused on regaining old accounts and developing new ones especially for northbound cargoes. The Company also had fewer vessel trips compared to the previous year owing to extended dry-docking and unscheduled downtime of vessels. Notwithstanding these challenges, LSC continued to focus on improving vessel reliability and operational efficiencies which resulted to an improvement of P223 Million in direct cost. Efforts were also made to maximize vessel utilization and load factor. The Company ended with a Gross Profit of P47.4 Million, which is an improvement from 2017 at P34.6 Million or 37% General and Administrative expenses likewise improved by P9.9 Million compared to the previous year. Net Finance Costs amounted to P84.5 Million which is higher by 36% or P22.5 Million versus last year due to increase in interest rate. Net Other Income was higher by 57% in 2018 at P70 Million compared to P44 Million in 2017. The company’s Other Income in 2018 included proceeds from insurance and service recoveries as well as a one-off debit item such as a loss on sale of property amounting to P39 Million. LSC’s Net Loss After Tax went down by 15% from P171.8 Million in 2017 to P146.1 Million in 2018. This translated to a loss per share of P0.26 and P0.31 in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Financial Condition Total resources of the Company stood at P2.887 Billion as at December 31, 2018, or P182 Million lower than P3.069 Billion as at 31 December 2017. Current assets amounted to P1.330 Billion and P1.386 Billion in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease in current assets was due to the following:

Significant decrease of P82 Million in Trade and Other Receivables and Contact Assets from P982 Million in 2017 to P901 Million in 2018.

Improved collection helped sustain the operating cash requirement of the Company in 2018 and also augmented principal repayments of bank loans and interest. Cash balance slightly went down to P87.8 Million in 2018 from P89.6 million in 2017.

On the other hand, repayments and other current assets increased from P287 Million to P317 Million or a 10% increase due to accumulated creditable withholding taxes as the Company remained on a taxable loss position. Likewise, total Noncurrent Assets decreased in 2018 to P1.557 Billion from P1.683 Billion in 2017 substantially due to a sale of property. The Company revalued its land assets in 2018 which resulted to an increase in land value by P66.21 Million. This brought the balance of property and equipment to P1.220 Billion in the current year from P1.293 Billion in the prior year. Other Noncurrent Assets declined as well to P11.7 million from P21.8 million as deferred input VAT went down to P8 Million from P15 Million. Total liabilities reduced by P2.312 Billion this year from P2.400 Billion the previous year. Total bank loans as of 31 December 2018 amounted to P1.084 Billion (Short term/current – P769.88 Million; Long term – P314.17 Million) and P1.243 Billion (Short term/current – P960.78 Million; Long term – P282.18 Million) in December 2017. Short term loan proceeds amounting to P15 Million were used in operating expenses. There was no availment of a term loan in 2018. The Company settled P174 Million in principal repayments during 2018, broken down into P137 Million and P37 Million in long term (LT) and short term (ST) borrowings, respectively compared to P182 Million in principal repayments during 2017 broken down into P162 Million and P20 Million in long term (LT) and short term (ST) borrowings Obligation under finance lease also decreased from P62 Million in 2017 to P52 Million in 2018 due to payment of amortization of P35 Million while a new lease obligation has been availed amounting to P25 Million. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses increased to P1.070 Billion in 2018 from P956 Million in 2017 due to increased operating costs, while retirement benefit obligation decreased due to payment of benefits to eligible employees who availed of retirement in 2018. The negative operating results of the Company in the current period and the adoption of new standards (PFRS 9 & 15) resulted to a deficit of P578.5 Million versus deficit of P495.8 Million as at 31 December 2017. LSC is adequately capitalized at P1.015 Billion, thus despite the deficit, the Company still reflected a stockholders’ equity of P575 Million in 2018. Current ratio as at end of 2018 stood at 0.71 same with 2017. Debt to Equity ratio was posted at 4.02 and 3.59 in 2018 and 2017, respectively, on the account of operating losses incurred in the current year. The creditor banks of the Company requiring maintenance of certain financial ratios provided a waiver on the breach of debt covenants for the period ending 31 December 2018.

CALENDAR YEAR 2017 Results of Operations In 2017, Lorenzo Shipping Corporation (LSC or the “Company”) continued to focus on improving vessel reliability and operational efficiencies which resulted to an improvement of P100 Million in direct cost. Vessel’s performance improved with the various maintenance and crew-related initiatives done in the past year. Efforts were made to maximize vessel’s utilization and reduce fixed costs. This was evident with the 9% increase in volumes, despite the retirement of M/L Lorcon Visayas in October 2017. General and administrative expenses likewise improved by P25 Million. LSC’s total freight revenue for 2017 however went down by P71 Million due to pressure on freight base as a result of the vessel capacity.

Increase in trade and other receivables for 2017 is P80 Million from P902 Million in 2016.

Message from the President

Welcome to Lorenzo Shipping’s Sustainability Report 2019

We are driven by our mission to serve the needs of our customers and the communities they serve with essential shipping services bringing goods from producers to markets, propelled by an entrepreneurial spirit, inspired by living with purpose and guided by a culture of integrity.

As we face the years of disruption and change, never before has sustainability been more important to ensure we protect the interests of our stakeholders: the shareholders, our customers and suppliers, our employees and their families and the companies as a whole.

Each and every one must adhere to strong principles, rules and regulations, local and international laws, in order to ensure the company’s long-term success.

Our Company values are the foundation of our core belief systems: excellence, integrity, enthusiasm, accountability, innovation and WE CARE.

Our Brand Promise is that “Everything Matters” so everything we do, big or small is important.

We hope that this report will show our uncompromising commitment to the balanced integration of economic, environmental and social factors into our everyday business operations which will allow us to achieve our contribution to society and to our planet.

MATERIALITY PROCESS

In preparing the Lorenzo Shipping Sustainability Plan and Reporting, our Management team identified the areas that matter most and stand out as being most likely to bring about the severity of such impacts judged by their scale and gravity. These risks of adverse impact were analyzed according to those potentially caused by our own undertaking in our operations, or those by our suppliers and subcontractors. Even if our brand promise is “Everything Matters”, we were compelled to understand what really matters to the success of the business, and to rate how much something matters so that we can allocate resources to guide strategy and objectives. Moving forward, LSC commits itself to the continuous identification of the impacts and risks of its operations and ensure that these are monitored, reported and managed.

For Forced Labor and Child Labor, all suppliers and contractors being engaged by the company are

properly evaluated and are required to provide documents that they are legitimate companies, no legal

issues, and approved to operate by their local government. A vendor audit on the respective

supplier/contractor location is being made to check if there are any untoward business practices such as

forced and child labor incidents in their offices or location of doing business. As part of the audit

activity, an audit checklist and ocular evaluation form is being crafted based on the operational and

business standards of the company which includes the manpower and organizational resources of the

company.

For Environmental Performance and Human Rights, SPU has started profiling several suppliers and

contractors who support any Green Initiatives, and Women Empowerment programs, for human rights

and equality. Criteria has been developed to qualify those suppliers and contractors that fall into these

categories, and as of 2019, LSC has engaged 5% of the total suppliers/contractors that fall in to these

categories of green procurement and women empowered companies.

As part of the Supplier Accreditation/Registration process, Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption is being

emphasized to the applicants, whereas such documents like, Conflict of Interest, Integrity Pact, Data

Privacy & Performance Checking, are being asked to be signed by the applicant before they could be

registered to the company. This is to ensure that the suppliers and contractors understand that those

unethical business practices will not be condoned in LSC and corresponding penalty will be imposed if

such activities happen. A regular monitoring of transactions is being made regularly to see if there are

unusual trend on awarding of transactions to suppliers/contractors that may raise a suspicion that

bribery and corruption is taking place. Any suspicion that certain transactions that can be categorized to

fall under bribery and corruption, an immediate report and investigation is being requested for the

management and audit team to mobilize.

ENVIRONMENT Impact Which stakeholders are

affected?

Management Approach

For Ships

Although CO2 emissions from

ships are extremely small in

comparison to other transport

systems, a container ship can

cause marine pollution from oil

spill that can result from

careless ship to ship bunkering,

or damage to the hull causing a

leak of oil into the ocean.

Careless navigation or an idle

ship can also cause damage to

coral reefs, fish farms and

others that potentially destroy

livelihood and tourism.

For Trucks

Impact is confined to CO2

emission especially when trucks

are left in a poor state and trip

not properly planned.

Shareholders, Employees

and the Community

LSC, through its Ship Management

Team, will manage the risks to the

environment for its vessel operations.

It will be strengthened and improved

continually though the proper

implementation of Safety

Management System which is vetted

by the Flag State and vessel

Classification Societies which are

members of IACS (International

Association of Classification Society).

Promote use of improved parts

technology (e.g. low friction paints on

hull) that will reduce frictional force

there by improving speed and

indirectly reduce consumption and/or

emission.

LSC is proactively engaging its

truckers in programs meant to

improve efficient operations (e.g. use

of GPS) and protection of the

environment (e.g. “Balik Baterya”

Program and proper waste disposal).

Response to Environmental Regulations

The MARINA has not yet required Philippine domestic vessels from IMO 2020 reducing Sulphur content in the fuel that ships burn to reduce air pollution to .05 percent. Since low Sulphur fuel supply is limited and ships too small and uneconomical to fit scrubbers, Lorenzo has shifted its fuel to diesel oil.

Climate-related risks and opportunities2

Governance and Strategy

As LSC begins to understand the materiality of assessing its climate-related risks and

opportunities in its governance, and such assessment’s contribution to the overall economic

performance of the company, the organization is committed in the integration of these kinds of

risks and opportunities in its financial objective for year 2020 and onwards. The management of

LSC has also begun conceptualizing a framework that can address climate-related risks and

opportunities and will work with the Board Risk Oversight Committee (BROC) to include these

kinds of risks in its assessment and report to its Governing Board for management’s appropriate

actions.

Risk Management

As the management of LSC is in transition from its current risk assessment strategies to the

integration of climate-related risks in its decision-making and financial projections, the

management currently deals with these kinds of risks on a case-to-case basis in the same way

that management assesses some of the other newly-identified risks surrounding the operations

of LSC. This method will then be replaced with a more systematic risk management approach

once all the surrounding factors are identified and assessed.

2 Adopted from the Recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. The TCFD Recommendations apply to non-financial companies and financial-sector organizations, including banks, insurance companies, asset managers and asset owners.

22

Metrics and Targets

As LSC has no current formal climated-related risk management system, the current enterprise

risk management program of the company will govern in the interim such that any identified

climate-related risk will be evaluated by the BROC and Chief Risk Officer on a per case basis in

order to recommend proper management action to the Board.

SOCIAL EMPLOYEE MANGEMENT

Impact Management Approach

The impact that the management, staff, crew and

workforce have on the sustainability of LSC cannot

be measured:

Many of the Company’s management team have

been key pillars in the growth of the Company.

The Management is transforming its people

strategy to be more performance based to

motivate good team members to be aligned

with company goals.

The human resource transformation strategy

includes very targeted leadership and skills

development and training, with transparent

succession plans to motivate our people.

Risks Management Approach

Like any other entity, LSC faces the risk of its people

getting pirated by other competing businesses that

could lead to loss of key personnel.

LSC has for the most part observed the best

practices in retention of employees as well as

providing them adequate benefits that are not

only monetary to make them feel that they are

vital part of the organization.

LSC to continuously adapt to the changes in

working arrangement of employees without

prejudice on delivering quality performance

and to promote work-life balance among its

employees
