Waterways Leisure Tourism Limited, the parent company of Cordelia Cruises, reported a significant financial turnaround for the July–September 2026 quarter.

This marks a substantial recovery from the Rs 89.3 million loss recorded during the same quarter the previous year.

Revenue from operations for the quarter reached Rs 1,329.0 million, a 31% increase compared to the previous year. Total income rose by 43% to Rs 1,511.6 million. Profit before tax and exceptional items stood at Rs 96.1 million, representing a swing of more than Rs 210 million from the prior year's loss of Rs 114.9 million.

On a half-year basis ending September 30, 2026, Cordelia Cruises reported a net profit of Rs 812.7 million, significantly exceeding the Rs 521.4 million earned for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. Revenue from operations for the first half of the year rose 16% to Rs 3,230.1 million.
