sql - Return distinct rows after averaging on group -

i have table mytable looks

i wish group year , average of tottermloans each year, query repeated rows:

select year(periodenddate), avg(tottermloans), companyname  mytable group year(periodenddate) 

which gives

   year(periodenddate) avg(tottermloans) companyname    2009                 5.304             abb    2009                 5.304             abb    2009                 5.304             abb    2010                 5.313             abb    2010                 5.313             abb    2010                 5.313             abb 

i like

   year(periodenddate) avg(tottermloans) companyname    2009                 5.304             abb    2010                 5.313             abb

select            year(periodenddate), avg(tottermloans), companyname               mytable group          year(periodenddate), companyname 

the distinct keyword can used on select statements remove duplicated results.
