A record quarter has allowed Wallenius Wilhelmsen to reward investors with a big first-half dividend.

The world’s largest car carrier operator announced in its second-quarter financial report on Tuesday that it would issue a $0.61 per share dividend, good for half its net profit for the first six months.

“[The second quarter of 2024] is the strongest quarter on record with all-time-high Ebitda,” said chief executive Lasse Kristoffersen, with that figure coming in at $507m, up from $477m year over year.
