“Today, we are experiencing the positive effects of focusing on operational performance and profitability, which has a direct impact on benefits and programs for shareholders,” said Sealaska CEO Anthony Mallott. “The steady growth seen in our profitable businesses and recovery from the significant losses in 2013 are the true indications of positive change,” he said.

The success of its businesses allows Sealaska to provide meaningful and sustainable shareholder benefits. Sealaska paid a total of $22.5 million in shareholder distributions in 2017. In just the first half of 2018, more than $23 million was paid in shareholder distributions.

“The Sealaska board and management are proud that Sealaska is financially strong and able to make consistent and meaningful contributions to efforts our shareholders care about,” said Sealaska Board Chair Joseph Nelson. “In 2018, Sealaska is adding $10 million to the scholarship endowment and exploring options to offer its shareholders a bereavement benefit,” he said.
