WSP’s latest financial report shows a strong start to 2023, with higher than predicted organic growth in net revenues and adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter.

In the first quarter of 2023, WSP reported revenues and net revenues of $3.49bn and $2.67bn. These were up 28.7% and 27% respectively when compared to the first quarter of 2022. The increase in net revenue was driven by acquisition growth (15.8%) and organic growth (8.6%). Organic growth was achieved across all reportable segments of the business.
