Net growth from acquisitions and divestments was 23.1%, of which the acquisition of ENVIRON accounted for 21.1%.
Organic growth was 1.5%, as all Principal Business Units with the exception of Management Consulting and particularly Oil & Gas grew organically in 2015. Excluding the Oil & Gas business unit, organic growth was 4.5%. In addition, extraordinary write-downs on four buildings projects had an adverse impact on organic growth of 1%.
The movements in the reporting currency Danish kroner against foreign currencies affected the revenue positively by 3.1%, due to strengthened GBP and USD related currencies, which were only partly offset by weakened NOK and SEK.
Operating profit before goodwill amortisation (EBITA) was DKK 475 million compared to DKK 413 million in 2014, giving an EBITA margin of 4.5%, which was 0.5% lower than in 2014.
