Revenue and operating profit
| Median company | Top third | |

| Revenue | NOK 18,188,394 | NOK 28,238,166 |
| Operating profit | NOK 387,034 | NOK 3,345,595 |

Revenue per employee is calculated on the 70 of 78 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.
