This presentation contains forward-looking expectations which are subject to risk and uncertainties related to economic and market conditions in relevant markets, oil prices, currency exchange fluctuations etc. Wilh. Wilhelmsen ASA group undertake no liability and make no representation or warranty for the information and expectations given in the presentation.
Year-end auto sales lifted volumes
• Continue to grow our global network
• Chung family reducing their stake to 29.9%
The board of WWASA anticipates the group's volume development to be relatively flat, adjusted for seasonality.
The cargo mix will continue to be unfavourable. The demand for break bulk and construction equipment is not expected to outweigh low demand for mining and agriculture equipment. With current fuel prices, the net bunker cost will have a positive effect on operating profit, supported by the effect from cost reducing initiatives.
The logistics segment's contribution to group accounts is expected to be in line with the fourth quarter
