The net result group share of the National Ports Agency (ANP) amounted to -16 million dirhams (MDH) during the year 2021, against 64 MDH in 2020.
The consolidated net result stood at -56 MDH for the past financial year, indicates the Agency in a financial press release, noting that the consolidated operating result, meanwhile, amounted to 53 MDH, down 51% compared to 2020. This decrease is mainly due to the drop in turnover of SGPTV (Management company of the port of Tangier City) by 14.8% and the increase in expenses of operating income retired from the ANP by 13.2%, points out the same source.
At the same time, the ANP reports that its consolidated turnover achieved in 2021, compared to that of 2020, increased by 6.2% to more than 2.18 billion dirhams (MMDH), reports MAP.
This increase is mainly due to the combined effect of the 6.5% increase in ANP turnover, the 8.6% increase in Portnet SA turnover and the decrease of SGPTV’s turnover by 14.8%, under the effect of the cessation of its activity following the health situation relating to the Covid-19 pandemic.
With regard to the social accounts, they report a level of activity of the ports managed by the ANP of 91.04 million tonnes (MT) in 2021, i.e. a slight decrease of 1.6%.
This decline is mainly due to the decline in fertilizer traffic (-8% to 11.7 MT), phosphate (-5.6% to 9.5 MT), cereals (-24.1% to 7 .1 MT) and Sulfur (-5.1% to 6.9 MT).
Conversely, other traffic compared to 2020 has increased, particularly that of containers (+1.4%), coal (+7.8%), phosphoric acid (+9.1%) and hydrocarbons (+8.5%).
In addition, the ANP indicates that the turnover continues to increase by recording in 2021 an amount of 2.06 billion dirhams, an increase of 6.5%.
Operating expenses amounted to 2 billion dirhams, up by 8.3% under the combined effect of the 7% increase in purchases, the drop in other external expenses by 8.5% and the increase allocations to depreciation and provisions of 31%.
The added value reached more than 1.34 billion dirhams in 2021, up 12.8% compared to 2020, which allows for an integration rate of nearly 65%.
Operating income increased by nearly 20% to 186.1 million dirhams in 2021. Without depreciation and provisions, this result increased by 28% compared to 2020.
The net result stood at 46.1 MDH, against 66.3 MDH in 2020. Excluding financial provisions and market delay surcharges applied by the ANP in 2020, the net result would increase by 23% compared to to 2020.
