WSP Global reports record backlog but warns of slower U.S. project conversion
What happened
WSP Global reported higher third-quarter revenue and earnings, with net revenue rising 22% to CAD 4.23 billion and backlog reaching a record CAD 20.3 billion. Despite strong overall performance, the company cautioned that U.S. infrastructure projects are taking longer to move from awards to active work. This slower conversion is attributed to federal funding reviews and delays in authorizations affecting public-sector transportation and environmental businesses.

Why it matters
The report indicates that while WSP Global maintains a strong backlog, the timing of revenue generation from U.S. projects is changing. Management expects a more measured pace of conversion from awarded projects into revenue in the Americas.
