Results for the third quarter 2026
Total income for the group was USD 327 million, up 5% from the corresponding period last year, and up 2% from the second quarter of 2026. EBITDA ended at USD 61 million, up 47% from the corresponding period last year and down 2% from the previous quarter.
“Solid performance across our operating businesses continued in the quarter, and contributions from key strategic investments further supported the result. While uncertainty persists, we remain focused on maintaining resilience and financial flexibility, enabling us to perform through cycles and volatility while continuing to execute our long-term strategy,” says Thomas Wilhelmsen, Group CEO.
The Maritime Services segment had a total income of USD 238 million in the third quarter. This was up 7% from the corresponding period last year and up 4% from the previous quarter.
Total income for the New Energy segment was USD 88 million, which was stable year-over-year, but down 4% from the previous quarter.
The Strategic Holdings and Investments segment reported a profit of USD 126 million in the third quarter. This was slightly down from the corresponding period last year, but up from previous quarter, driven by higher share of profits from Wallenius Wilhelmsen and Hyundai Glovis.
Net profit to equity holders of the company after financial items and tax was USD 154 million, equal to USD 3.70 earnings per share (EPS).
A second dividend of NOK 8.50 per share will be paid on 19 November. This comes in addition to the first dividend of NOK 20.00 per share paid in May, and is in line with the targeted long-term dividend yield of 3–5%.
Commenting on the outlook for the group, Wilhelmsen says:
“Considerable uncertainty persists, specifically regarding geopolitical tension, the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and an uncertain global trade environment, potentially impacting future performance and cash inflow. However, the group retains its capacity to support, grow, and expand the business portfolio, and to deliver yearly dividends in line with the dividend policy.”
