AGM Trading Statement
At the Annual General Meeting to be held electronically by video
webcast at 12 noon today, Laurence Hollingworth, Chair of
Clarksons, will make the following trading statement covering the
period from 1 January to 10 May 2023.
Trading
The Group has enjoyed a positive start to the year. The green
transition and supply-side constraints are driving activity across
our sectors and Clarksons remains well positioned for the
future.
-- The Broking division, which is a market leader in all key
shipping sectors, continues to be the main driver of revenue and
profit and has performed strongly during the period. Activity
remains at similar levels to last year whilst rates in some markets
have recently softened.
-- The Financial division has performed in line with last year
to date, successfully executing a number of deals in more
challenging capital markets.
-- The Research division is currently ahead of 2022, its growth
trajectory driven by increased demand for sector research,
particularly in relation to the energy transition.
-- The Support division is also performing ahead of 2022. We
were delighted to announce the acquisition of DHSS in February and
we expect to see growth in this area.
-- The Sea/ platform continues to make progress providing SaaS
solutions to increased numbers of clients.
Outlook
Despite the currently weaker US dollar, the Board's expectations
for the year remain unchanged. The medium-term outlook for shipping
is positive and we remain confident in the outlook for the business
as we continue to drive value for all stakeholders.
Details on how to join the AGM can be found in the Notice of
Meeting.
