The Impact Of Unusual Items On Profit

For anyone who wants to understand Storskogen Group's profit beyond the statutory numbers, it's important to note that during the last twelve months statutory profit gained from kr839m worth of unusual items. While we like to see profit increases, we tend to be a little more cautious when unusual items have made a big contribution. When we crunched the numbers on thousands of publicly listed companies, we found that a boost from unusual items in a given year is often not repeated the next year. And, after all, that's exactly what the accounting terminology implies. Storskogen Group had a rather significant contribution from unusual items relative to its profit to June 2025. As a result, we can surmise that the unusual items are making its statutory profit significantly stronger than it would otherwise be.

Our Take On Storskogen Group's Profit Performance

As previously mentioned, Storskogen Group's large boost from unusual items won't be there indefinitely, so its statutory earnings are probably a poor guide to its underlying profitability.

The good news is that it earned a profit in the last twelve months, despite its previous loss. At the end of the day, it's essential to consider more than just the factors above, if you want to understand the company properly.
