TEQUILA TRAIN, JALISCO, MEXICO.

In the national and international context of regulatory changes and economic 

and social uncertainty that defined the year 2023, Grupo México reiterated 

its  commitment  to  growth  and,  at  the  same  time,  took  advantage  of  new 

business  opportunities.  As  a  result,  the  Grupo's  capital  investments  for  the 

year totaled US$1.91 billion dollars.

Our  strength,  determination  and  long-term  vision  are  decisive  factors  in 

achieving  positive  operating  and  financial  results.  Despite  the  volatile 

environment,  in  the  Mining  Division  we  consolidated  the  Pilares  project  in 

Sonora during 2023, which reached its total annual production capacity of 

30  thousand  tons  of  copper  concentrates.  Therefore,  copper  production 

grew 2.3 percent to 1,029,854 annual tons, which in part is also due to the 

efficiency of SPCC's operations in Peru and ASARCO's operations in Arizona.

The  results  that  our  company  has  achieved  have  been  possible  thanks  to 

5

the  perseverance,  dedication  and  talent  of  our  more  than  30,000  highly 

specialized direct employees in the four countries where we operate, as well 

as the trust of our shareholders, who contribute capital to embody this great 

group of companies.

We have two highways in 
Guanajuato with a traffic 
flow of more than 10 million 
vehicles.

Our  commitment  to  environmental  care,  governance  and  best  social 

practices  is  permanent  and  is  consolidated  as  a  fundamental  factor  of  our 

business model.

In  Fundación  Grupo  México,  and  after  nine  years  in  operation,  Dr.  Vagón, 

the Health Train, successfully completed its scheduled routes on our tracks, 

covering  23  states  in  Mexico,  39  communities  and  12,153  kilometers. 

This  year,  Dr.  Vagón  provided  more  than  245,000  free  medical  services. 

Through the Escuchar Sin Fronteras (Hearing Without Borders) program, the 

foundation implanted 40 cochlear devices 2023.

On  the  environmental  front,  the  foundation  donated  3.2  million  trees 

from our seven nurseries to 152 municipalities through its Restauración de 

Cuencas (Watershed Restoration) and Islas Verdes (Green Islands) programs. 

We continue to produce more than 6.2 million trees annually.

GERMÁN LARREA

We  are  proud  to  share  that,  in  2023,  credit  rating  agencies

benefits  that  Grupo  México  obtains  from  the  diversification

largest copper producers in the world, with a remarkable track

FLAMINGOS ARE MIGRATORY BIRDS, FEEDING ON SMALL CRUSTACEANS THAT LIVE IN THE 

WETLANDS, WHICH PRODUCE THE PINK COLORATION OF THEIR PLUMAGE.

GRUPO MÉXICO REMEDIATED THE BAY OF ITE AND CREATED ONE OF THE 
MOST IMPORTANT WETLANDS IN THE AMERICAS.

The Ite wetlands are part of 
Grupo México's daily efforts as 
part of its strategy to preserve 
and protect biodiversity and 
ecosystems at all levels.

Over  20  years,  Grupo  México  has  developed  one  of  the  largest  ecosystems  for 

biodiversity conservation at Ite. Parcels of land were built and flooded; vegetation 

was introduced. Canals, floodgates and spillways were built to control water levels 

and today the water quality and the flora and fauna populations that live there are 

constantly monitored.

AMERICAN OYSTERCATCHER. SHOREBIRD THAT FEEDS ON MARINE MOLLUSKS. ITS GLOBAL 

POPULATION IS 3,000 INDIVIDUALS AND IT IS CONSIDERED AN ENDANGERED SPECIES. 

The  wetlands  of  Ite  are  composed  of  shallow  water  bodies, 

floating grasses, cattails and reeds, as well as grassland areas. 

Greater biodiversity 

With 15,000 resident and migratory birds, Ite is the wetland 

with  the  greatest  diversity  of  birds  of  all  the  wetlands 

inventoried  in  Peru.  There  are  currently  more  than  150  bird 

species  registered,  certified  by  the  National  Forestry  and 

Wildlife  Service  of  Peru  (SERFOR,  for  its  spanish  acronym), 

50% of which are resident and 50% migratory.

Copper

Copper  is  present  in  our  daily  lives,  from  its  most  everyday  uses  as  a 

comprehensive part of the food and drinking water supply or in our cell phones, 

to  the  role  it  plays  in  the  development  of  new  technologies  that  enable  the 

decarbonization of the economy.

Its main uses are:

Power grid

44%

To have electrical energy in a home, copper is used in components such as:

Used for the wiring of:

•  Transmission and distribution cables
•  Transformers
•  Grounding conductors
•  Connections and terminals
•  Electrical substations
•  Grounding systems
•  Power generation equipment

There can be up to 200kg of copper in a house.

•  Electrical cables

The volume transported increased 3.6% compared to 2022, reaching 65.40 

billion  net  tons-km.  Volume  growth  was  led  by  the  automotive  segment, 

with a 19% increase in net tons-km, followed by the intermodal segment, 

which grew by 8% in net tons-km, and lastly, by the agriculture segment.

Ferromex is expected to invest around 
MXN$3.2 billion  in various construction 
works related to Road Safety Programs, 
corresponding to government and 
municipal works for which we will 
be compensated with additional years 
of exclusivity.

For reasons of national security, President López Obrador decided that the 

Government should operate the Medias Aguas to Coatzacoalcos section, 

which  Ferrosur  held  as  a  concession,  and  to  instead  grant  this  company 

the right of way over the section.

As  of  December  15,  2023,  the  government  is  responsible  for  providing 

maintenance  and  ensuring  the  safety  of  trains  running  on  this  section  of 

47

the  track,  which  primarily  handles  hazardous  chemical  materials.  GMXT

TEPALCATES INTERMODAL TERMINAL, MANZANILLO, MEXICO.

We reinvested nearly 
100% of our total profit. 
In 2023, it amounted to 
US$427 million.

EBITDA

During  2023,  EBITDA  reached  US$1.43  billion,  16%  growth  compared  to 

the same period of 2022; however, margin reports a decrease of 50 basis 

points because operating costs were affected by the migration crisis and 

the closing of borders by the U.S. authorities, as well as higher diesel costs.

Investments

In 2023, we invested 13% more than in the previous year, mainly in:

•  Track replacement and rehabilitation

•  Construction and rehabilitation of tunnels, slopes, yards and terminals

•  Construction of railroad beltways

•  Upgrade of telecommunications equipment

•  Acquisition of haulage equipment

• 

Introduction of new operating technologies

Productivity Improvements

The  operational  practices  implemented  by  GMXT  during  2023  have 

generated improvements in our service to the supply chains across North 

America.

During  2023,  sound  operating  results  were  reported  for  the  following 

53

indicators. Train speed improved 2.4% from 37.5 km/hr to 38.4 km/hr to 38.4 

km/h, allowing us to provide an efficient and timely service for our clients. 

Similarly, car dwell times decreased by 3.5% to 24 hours, which allowed for 

a 1.1% improvement in car velocity delivered.
