In kroner
Revenue and operating profit
| Median company | Top third | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | NOK 120,946,055 | NOK 221,999,167 |
| Operating profit | NOK 10,954,277 | NOK 48,952,700 |
| Revenue per employee | NOK 3,252,638 | NOK 4,285,115 |
Revenue per employee is calculated on the 41 of 42 companies that report an employee count, as the median of the ratio within each company.
Median, not mean. A mean would be pulled up by the largest companies in the industry, and would say little about a typical one.

Companies are split into revenue bands, with the median margin in each. Bands with fewer than ten companies are omitted, because the median becomes too unstable to show.

Contracts come from Doffin and TED. Our collection is not complete, and TED covers only contracts above the EEA threshold, so the figures are a floor and not a full count. We say what we find, not what exists.
