Figure 1. Key figures for listed enterprises

The operating profit margin was -0.2 per cent; a decline from 19.2 per cent in the first quarter of 2014. The  operating margin and the operating profit margin also went down compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. In the previous quarter, the operating margin was 6.5 per cent, while the operating profit margin was 3.5 per cent.

The weak results are mainly due to high impairment costs and the resulting deficit for some big companies in the energy sector. Despite the total loss before tax for listed enterprises, the share of companies with a deficit in the first quarter of 2015 was lower than in the previous quarter. The share was 37 per cent in the first quarter of 2015 compared to 43 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2014. The last time listed enterprises had a total loss before tax was in the last quarter of 2008, when the share of companies with a deficit was 60 per cent.
