Wallenius Wilhelmsen reported an adjusted EBITDA of USD 361m in the second quarter. <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe maintain our 2026 outlook and continue to deliver on our financial targets with a dividend of USD 258 million for H1 2026, representing 82% of net profit,\u201d says Lasse Kristoffersen, President and CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are happy to deliver a solid quarter in line with expectations, despite higher bunker costs. Shipping continues to experience full utilization out of Asia and Logistics starts to see good effects of the improvement program,\u201d says Kristoffersen.<\/p>\n

Total revenues for Q2 were USD 1,305m, up 4% QoQ due to increased revenues for Shipping services. The adjusted EBITDA of USD 361m is down 7% QoQ, due to higher bunker prices following the conflict in the Middle East. The higher bunker prices will be recovered over time through the company\u2019s BAF clauses. Net profit for Q2 totaled USD 138m, down 22% QoQ.<\/p>\n

Wallenius Wilhelmsen will pay a total dividend of USD 0.61 per share for H1-26, based on 50% of net profit, plus an extraordinary dividend of USD 100m.<\/p>\n

Continued strong demand from Asia resulted in full fleet utilization during the quarter, and RoRo demand remains well above available capacity.<\/p>\n

“We are effectively sold out and need to make tough customer prioritizations out of Asia. The market remains very tight, in particular in shipping, and we secured improved rates for both new Shipping and Logistics business in the quarter.” Lasse Kristoffersen, President and CEO of Wallenius Wilhelmsen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased to see how our ability to support customers end-to-end creates unique value for both existing and new OEMs. Effective and resilient supply chains are today at the top of their agenda,” Kristoffersen adds
\nLogistics services record best quarter since Covid<\/p>\n

Operational improvements in Logistics services are delivering results following dedicated initiatives.<\/p>\n

These efforts enabled us to deliver an adjusted EBITDA of USD 46m, up 8% QoQ. That marks the best quarter for Logistics services since before Covid (after adjusting for MIRRAT).<\/p>\n

Q2 highlights: Continued strong and growing shipping demand from Asia resulted in full utilization of fleet and increasing freight and charter rates; Adjusted EBITDA for Q2 2026 ended at USD 361m, down 7% QoQ, reflecting higher bunker expenses in Shipping services; Continued positive development for Logistics services due to operational improvement program; Maintained outlook for 2026 with adjusted EBITDA of about USD 1.6bn; Resolved to pay a total dividend of USD 0.61 per share for H1-26, based on 50% of the net profit combined with an extraordinary dividend of USD 100m.<\/p>\n
