Brazil: Wilson Sons Reports Strong Q1 Results

Wilson Sons Limited (WSON11) announced its results for the First Quarter, according to which the Company’s net income reached USD 19.5 million, primarily due to strong performances in the Towage, Offshore Vessels, and Shipyard businesses.

 “Despite soft exports, we delivered a strong first quarter in terms of cash generation, with bottom-line margins growing significantly,” said Cezar Baião, CEO of Operations in Brazil.

Strong demand for special operations in towage, higher average daily rates in the Offshore Vessels business and the commencement of Guaruja II shipyard operations contributed to the quarter’s strong bottom-line results.

“With the recent conclusion of important projects we believe we are well positioned to carry out our strategy in each of our businesses and remain optimistic with the following quarters”, concluded the CEO.
