HELSINKI (Reuters) -Finland's Wartsila, a top global marine and energy equipment maker, posted a first-quarter operating loss on Thursday and said market conditions were uncertain due to recent COVID-19 lockdowns in China and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Wartsila's loss of 147 million euros reflected a previously announced writedown of around 200 million euros of its Russian assets. Wartsila said its comparable operating profit increased 61% to 65 million euros ($68.25 million), roughly in line with a mean estimate of 67.2 million from 14 analysts in a Vara Research poll commissioned by the company.
