The company on Thursday said revenue rose to around $1.45bn, reflecting good momentum across all business units. Group adjusted core earnings was in line with expectations.
Its order book at March 31 was around $5.7bn, slightly lower than at December 2022 and reflecting the phasing of large multi-year awards in operations, Wood said.
“The order book for delivery in 2023 has continued to build and is up significantly on the position a year ago,” it added.
“While we remain mindful of the uncertain economic outlook, our expectations for 2023 remain unchanged."
