Net profit
Net profit was ISK 456 million in 2019, versus ISK 5,420 million in 2018. In 2018, the sum of ISK 5 billion was recorded under financial income due to the sale of a 55% stake in Tempo ehf.
Equity ratio

Equity

Net debt/EBITDA is -0.3 for 2019 versus -2.0 in 2018. After the planned dividend payment of ISK 180 million following the AGM on 6 March 2020, the Company is expected to be closer to its target range of a net debt/EBITDA ratio between 0.5 and 2.
Investments
Investment in fixed assets totalled ISK 333 million in 2019, which is higher than in 2018, mainly due to the renewal of large equipment in the Company's hardware room.

New operating units or businesses were acquired for ISK 338 million in 2019.
