ORKLA IN 2006 2006 was a good year for the Orkla Group, with the Industry division making progress on a broad front and a high return for the Financial Investments division . At the same time, several strategically important structural changes were implemented . Including the dividend, the return on the Orkla share was 29.2 % in 2006. • Organic growth in the Nordic region, operational improvements and acquisitions contributed to the Branded Consumer Goods division’s 8.5 % increase in operating profi t before amortisation. • The Speciality Materials division achieved an almost NOK 700 mil- lion rise in operating profi t before amortisation. The improvement was ascribable to a good market situation, a high level of profi t from the energy businesses and the effects of improvement programmes. • The return on the Share Portfolio was 27.4 % and the market value was NOK 18.2 billion at year-end. • Orkla increased its exposure in the solar energy industry through its decision to invest NOK 2.7 billion in a new factory for the production of high-purity silicon in Kristiansand (Norway) and by further increasing its interest in the Renewable Energy Corporation ASA (REC). • The Orkla Group signed a letter of intent with Alcoa with a view to forming a new jointly-owned company based on Sapa’s and Alcoa’s aluminium profi le operations. The merged company will be market leader in both Europe and the USA and Orkla will be the majority shareholder. • A decision was made to sell Orkla’s media business, with the exception of Hjemmet Mortensen. The sale was completed in the second half of the year at a gain of more than NOK 4 billion.
