Financial Performance and Revenue Growth in Norway
Revenue climbed from 168,9 millioner the previous year to 202 million kroner, according to the annual accounts for Facebook Norway AS. Despite the top-line growth, the operating result landed at minus 24 million kroner, improving from minus 47 million kroner the prior year. The final annual result of minus 37 million kroner compares to a loss of 58 million kroner in the preceding period.
Cash holdings also dropped sharply from 81 million kroner to 5 million kroner. According to a note in the financial statements, the shift occurred because Facebook Norway began participating in Meta’s internal cash pooling system, which transfers funds continuously within the wider corporate group.

Regulatory and Legal Pressures Facing Meta
Beyond financial reporting, Meta faces external scrutiny on multiple fronts. Public debates recently intensified regarding Meta’s new AI glasses, specifically concerning how easily users can record video of other people without their knowledge, according to ongoing media reports.
In the United States, a judge in New Mexico ordered Meta to pay 567 million dollars for failing to warn users about dangers its platforms pose to children, according to BBC reporting. That penalty adds to an earlier 375 million dollar fine levied in the same litigation, bringing the total penalties in that specific case to 942 million dollars.
