| Financial costs as a share of debt All financial costs (interest, currency losses and other) divided by all debt, interest-free debt included. Not an interest rate. |
38.9% | 5.0% | |
| Long-term share of debt Long-term debt as a share of all debt. A low share means more falls due within a year. |
2.3% | 87.8% | |
The operating result is negative, so the interest coverage is negative: operations cover none of the financial costs.
Net working capital (current assets less bank deposits less current liabilities): 664.5 MNOK.
Of the financial costs of 13.0 MNOK, 0.8 MNOK is reported as interest costs in the accounts.
The median and the bar refer to companies in the same sector in 2025. The bar shows the share of the group with a lower figure: higher is not always better, long receivable days tie up capital, for example. These figures do not count in the score.
The industry or the company: what drove the result?

What the numbers say
Cortex AS had an equity ratio of 96.4% in 2025. The company is not ranked: not enough data (below minimum revenue).
From 2024 to 2025: the operating margin fell from −460.8% to −38,516.7% and revenue fell by 99%.
This text is generated automatically from the 2025 accounts.
Three simple methods
The methods give between 473 MNOK and 1,561 MNOK.
| Method | Multiple | Estimate |
|---|---|---|
| P/E | 10.5 | 1,561 MNOK |
| EV/EBIT | 19.2 | not meaningful |
| P/B | 0.7 | 473 MNOK |
The listed basis is the value at listed multiples. The estimate is lowered for size: a small-company premium of 2% on the cost of equity gives a value 24% lower. No separate marketability discount is applied, because the premium already allows for the company being small and unlisted.
The multiples are from the listed industry that matches the NACE code (68.2): R.E.I.T..

Worth a closer look
- critical
The operating result does not cover the financial costs. How will the debt be serviced, and what do the lenders say?
Based on: Interest coverage (times) −0.4 (median 1.8); Financial costs as a share of debt 38.9% (median 5.0%).
- watch
The operating margin is lower than at three in four companies in the sector. Where do costs differ from competitors?
Based on: Operating margin −38,516.7% (median 47.7%).
- watch
Receivables equal far more days of revenue than at comparable companies. Do customers pay late, or are these loans to companies in the same group?
Based on: Receivable days 824 days (median 40 days).
Indications based on the latest annual accounts from open data. Not investment or financial advice.
Financial costs were 38.9% of the debt in 2025. The policy rate averaged 4.30 % the same year. This is a plain description of what the debt cost, not a model of interest sensitivity.
