Wärtsilä’s interim report for January–September 2023 has been published. Improved profitability, strong cash flow and good development in services are some of the highlights.
Wärtsilä has presented their interim report for the first three quarters of 2023. Håkan Agnevall, President and CEO, speaks of improved performance in many areas.
“In the third quarter, order intake grew organically at 18%, supported by good development both in equipment and services,” Håkan Agnevall says.
We expect the demand environment for the coming 12 months to be similar to the comparison period in the Marine (including Marine Power and Marine Systems) business and better than the comparison period in the Energy business. We continue to make steady progress towards our profitability target.
