The result before tax was NOK 466 million in the quarter, compared to NOK 502 million in the same period a year earlier. A pre-tax profit of NOK 407 million was expected up front.

The share fell 3.1 percent.

This afternoon, US investors will receive the Consumer Price Deflation Index (PCE) for January, the Fed’s preferred inflation indicator.
