When the pandemic hit, we chose to maintain our investment plans while at the same time being very conscious of cost control in order to maintain our good solvency. We are now entering 2021 with a broader product range, good solvency, and a stronger organization. Production capacity has more than doubled”, says Per Jørgen Weisethaunet, CEO of NORBIT.“Despite the fact that it has been a demanding year, we came out with relatively stable revenues. This proves that the company is robust, thanks to a diversified business model. It is particularly pleasant to see that our largest business area, Oceans, has grown, even in a challenging year where extensive travel restrictions have limited our international sales activity “, Mr Weisethaunet continues.With the measures taken through 2020, NORBIT is well positioned for further growth and development. The ambitions for both organic and strategic growth remain unchanged. Based on the company’s strong financial position and positive outlook, the board proposes a dividend of NOK 0.30 per share for the 2020 financial year.The complete interim report and presentation for the fourth quarter of 2020 are attached.CEO Per Jørgen Weisethaunet and CFO Per Kristian Reppe will be presenting the company’s results today at 13:00 CET via a webinar in collaboration with Sparebank1 Markets.
