Highlights
Wilson, Sons has seen continued top line growth reflecting strong demand for our integrated business platform of port, maritime, and inland logistics services, mainly servicing international trade and the oil and gas industry. Brazil's cabotage trade and increase in imports have underpinned solid demand for our Port Terminals and Towage for the first half of the year.
In 2Q10, revenues grew 22.7% compared to 2Q09 (year-to-date up 20.1%), with underlying revenue growth across all major businesses. Our Port Terminals quarterly revenues increased by 28.8% quarter-on-quarter (year-to-date up 28.5%), with growth in both Container Terminals and Brasco. Towage revenues for the quarter are up 4.5% and 8.4% when compared to the same periods last year due to strong demand in special operations.
EBITDA was USD 42.1M for the quarter (year-to-date at USD 65.9M), or 29.7% of revenues. Our Net income was USD 31.0M for the quarter and USD 37.3M year-to-date. Excluding non-recurring gains from the formation of the Wilson, Sons Ultratug joint venture in the quarter (net gain of US$6.9M for the Shipyard and US$10.0M for the Company), Net Income would have been US$ 14.1M in 2Q10 (US$ 20.4M year-to-date).
