Note 43 - Earnings per ECC
Equity certificate (EC) holders' share of the profit is calculated as after-tax profit distributed in relation to the average number of ECs in the financial year. No options contracts are attached to the ECs so that diluted profit is consistent with earnings per EC. Upon presentation of accounts for 2016, earnings per EC were incorrectly stated as NOK 8.11. This has now been corrected in the comparative figures.
