There was high activity in most segments, and the result was positively impacted by higher billing rates, but negatively affected by reduced capacity due to a lower number of working days. Net operating revenues amounted to NOK 1 415.9 million, with organic revenue growth at 4.2 per cent, adjusted for the calendar effect and acquisitions. The billing ratio was 72.9 per cent, 0.9 percentage points lower than the comparable quarter last year. Order intake was NOK 1 539 million resulting in an order backlog of NOK 4 575 million.
