Statistics at enterprise levelThe structural business statistics for transport are compiled both at local KAU level and at enterprise level. Figures at enterprise level will usually deviate from figures at local KAU level. This is due to the fact that the enterprise is registered in the industry sub-class that comprises the main part of the activity of the enterprise, and therefore may be registered in a different industry from some of the local KAUs. |
Operating result, gross operating surplus and operating marginOperating result is different from gross operating surplus. Operating result is operating income adjusted for operating costs, where both variables are defined in the General Trading Statement. Operating margin is operating result as a percentage of operating income. Gross operating surplus is value added adjusted for personnel costs. |
