The operating result for the year, excluding exceptional items, was a positive 409 million kr\u00f3na, whereas the plan had provided for an operating surplus of 619 million. This variance is attributable to an increase in the council's pension liability of 928 million kr\u00f3nur, which is 515 million over the forecast.<\/p>\n
The operating result for the year was a positive 76 million kr\u00f3na, but among the exceptional items is an expense charge due to the outcome of the Supreme Court's judgement of 5th March 2015 that the municipality is required to pay the state corporation tax, plus interest, on the sale of a stake in HS Orka hf. in 2008, amounting to 333 million kr\u00f3na. <\/p>\n
Revenues amounted to 19,648 million kr\u00f3na, which is 418 million above the forecast. Wages and salaries are the council's largest expenditure item, amounting to 9,985 million kr\u00f3na, which is 442 million kr\u00f3na higher than forecast. Other expenses were 7,163 million kr\u00f3na, which is 230 million above the budget. Profit before finance and exceptional items amounted to 1,634 million kr\u00f3na. Financing items amounted to 1,226 million kr\u00f3na, 67 million above the forecast. Operating cash flow was approximately 1,593 million kr\u00f3na, 478 million lower than forecast.<\/p>\n
The town's total debt fell by 696 million kr\u00f3na during the year, despite an increase in pension liabilities. The debt ratio continued to fall and stood at 202% at the turn of the year, having peaked at 294% in 2009. The debt ratio was 176% at the end of the year, compared to 274% in 2009.<\/p>\n
The running of the policy areas went well and was in line with the plan. The largest policy area is education and childcare, to which approximately 8,748 million kr\u00f3na was allocated. Around 2,637 million kr\u00f3na was allocated to social services and 1,599 million kr\u00f3na to youth and sports affairs.<\/p>\n
Total assets at the end of the year amounted to a total of 48,198 million kr\u00f3nur, having decreased by 285 million year-on-year, and total liabilities and commitments amounted to a total of 39,766 million kr\u00f3nur.<\/p>\n
