How the company stands
Margin says how it went, the balance sheet says how the company stands
Two companies on the same margin can be in entirely different situations. These figures come from the balance sheet and say something about how well the company would take a bad quarter.
- 0.9Current ratioWorth a look
- What the company owes within the year is larger than what it holds to pay it. This is the most common reason otherwise healthy companies get into trouble. How many kroner the company holds in current assets for every krone falling due within the year. Below 1 means the bills coming due are larger than what there is to pay them with.
- 0.4Debt to equityStrong
- The company is financed mainly with its own money. How many kroner of debt the company carries per krone of equity. Lower is safer.
- 67.2Interest coverStrong
- Interest is a small part of what the company earns. How many times the operating result covers the interest the company pays.
- 220.4 m krRetained earningsStrong
- The company has earned back more than was put in. How much the company has earned and kept across its whole life, beyond what the owners put in.
The gap
The company is already above the top third
The margin is 2.0 percentage points higher than the median of the top third of the industry (11.5 %). There is no profitability gap to close. The question is rather whether something is holding growth back, or whether there is time and work to free up in operations.
Public contracts
Public contracts the company has won
We find no public contracts awarded to the company since 2022. 3.1 % of companies in produksjon av brød og ferske konditorvarer have won at least one in the same period.
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.

Next step
The figures say where the company stands, not why
The accounts show the result of how the company is run, but say nothing about where in the working day the time and the money disappear. That is only found by walking through the flow itself, from the job coming in to the money being on the account.
