Wärtsilä has reported increased profitability and what the company described as continued strong order intake momentum, according to a report published by reports on 27 October 2026.
The report notes that, in June 2026, Wärtsilä classified its Energy Storage business as assets held for sale and as discontinued operations. The classification led the group to remove Energy Storage from its list of reportable segments.
As a result of that change, comparative financial information for 2025 and for the first half of 2026 has been restated. The publication states that those restated figures should be used for like-for-like comparisons unless other qualification is given.
