In kroner
Revenue and operating profit
| Median company | Top third | |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | NOK 103,526,587 | NOK 120,284,875 |
| Operating profit | NOK 4,243,466 | NOK 13,241,884 |
| Revenue per employee | NOK 2,677,659 | NOK 2,674,474 |
Revenue per employee is calculated on the 69 of 70 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.
