Figures you will not find in any register
We calculated these figures ourselves from the accounts and registers we have read. The company has not reported them and the Brønnøysund Register Centre does not publish them. They are indications and are not part of the index. How we calculate
- Implied dividend (net payout)
- Equity moved as the result implied in 2025.
Calculated as retained earnings at the start of the year + net result − retained earnings at the end of the year. What remains is dividends and group contributions, plus transfers to other items and corrections of earlier years. It is not a dividend figure. - Owners and leadership aged 60 or older
- No sign of a near generation change in the ages.
- The chair is under 60.
- The managing director is under 60.
- 0 of 1 on the board are 60 or older.
- What the largest owner can do alone
- The largest owner holds 100.0% of the shares, more than nine tenths. The owner is a company and can then buy out the other shareholders by compulsion (Norwegian Companies Act § 4-26), provided it also holds the corresponding share of the votes. Every other decision the owner can secure alone.
The owner is a Norwegian company.
Applies to the largest single owner in the shareholder register (2025). The articles can limit voting rights and owners can vote together, and we cannot see either. Ownership through other companies is not counted. - Control against ownership through the chain
- A private person holds a majority at each of 2 links and so controls the company, but owns at least 100% of it itself.
The top owner is the highest we can establish, and it can itself be owned by others. The figure is «at least» because other routes between the owner and the company only add to it. The articles can limit voting rights, and we cannot see that. Shareholder register (2025).
