AS PRFoods ("Group") is a company engaged in fish farming, processing and sales. The Group's shares are listed on the main list of NASDAQ OMX Tallinn Stock Exchange since 5 May 2010 and its bonds are listed on the NASDAQ Tallinn bond list since 6 April 2020.
AS PRFoods subsidiary Saaremere Kala AS signed an agreement on 09.02.2022 to transfer 100% shares of Heimon Kala Oy to Nordic Fish Oy. The transaction of the transfer of shares of Heimon Kala Oy has been completed on 07.03.2022, i.e. the shares of Heimon Kala Oy have been transferred to Nordic Fish Oy. Shares of Överumans Fisk AB were also sold on 20.09.2022.
AS PRFoods will take the future direction of the development of fish farming in Estonia, with the aim of becoming the largest fish farmer in the region.
Since the acquisition of John Ross Jr. and Coln Valley Smokery in the summer of 2017, the Group has sales experience to 37 countries in Europe, North and South America, and Asia.
Main activities of the Group are fish farming and manufacturing of fish products. The main products are salmon and rainbow trout products. Approximately 2/3 of the raw fish used in the Group's rainbow trout production comes from the Group's fish farms in Swedish lakes and from coastal waters of Saaremaa in Estonia, assuring the highest quality and reliable deliveries. The rest of raw fish is purchased mainly from Norway and Denmark. Fish products are manufactured in two modern factories in Saaremaa (Estonia) and in Aberdeen (Great Britain).
Products of the Group are sold as leading brands in their respective operating market and the primary focus is on higher value-added premium products, increasing thereby the profitability of the company.
AS PRFoods plans to introduce a new brand this year, which emphasizes our Saaremaa origin.
We process mostly rainbow trout and salmon in our factories, in smaller quantities also whitefish, perch, pikeperch, vendace, Atlantic and Baltic herrings. We always keep the fish in a place of honour – both when farming and processing it – that is why we raise most of our red fish ourselves and smoke it with alder chips in the traditional way. As our product range is quite wide, a favourite product can be found for the whole family – lightly salted trout slices that have won the title of the Best Fish Product in Estonia, children's favourite trout cutlets or trout roe for a more festive occasion.
The Group is actively involved in developing new products for expanding also to new export markets.

Consolidated unaudited interim report 1st quarter and 3 months of the 2022/2023 financial year 6
In 2022 we have sold both Finnish and Swedish business units. First was sold because of continued losses and Sweden was sold to reduce overall debt level. As compared to last year, the biggest difference is that we no longer have sales from Finnish production units, in fish farming we no longer hold Finnish and Swedish assets and also fish harvesting was postponed until Q2.
In fish farming as said, harvesting was postponed until Q2. Fish products saw significant decline to overall market in demand for smoked fish products due to historically highest raw material prices and this is reflected in results. In Q2 we see decline in fish prices, and recovery of demand, but overall consumption per country is lower by 30-50%. UK unit performs according to expectations, but decline in private label demand in Finland, has negative impact on results of Saare Kala Tootmine OÜ. Swedish fish farming was sold at the end of Q1 and as per agreement, final payment for the shares will take place in 2023. Extraordinary profit in Q1 was result of sale of Swedish unit.
Sincerely,
Indrek Kasela

The United Kingdom with sales revenue of 3,2 million euros and 69,6% of total sales is the largest market of the Group. Estonian market totalled 1,3 million euros. i.e. 28,3% of the total.
The competitive advantage of the Group is its vertical integration – fish farming, production and sales. About two thirds of the raw trout used in the Group's production is harvested from the Group's own fish farms in the lakes in Sweden and in coastal area of Saaremaa, Estonia, ensuring that customers receive fast and high-quality deliveries.
Vertical integration enables the Group to reduce costs in certain phases of fish farming and to also enhance control foremost over fish processing and marketing. In the fish business, as fish are livestock, the quality assurance in the technological process has keenly to be maintained throughout the entire product lifecycle. In addition to improved cost control, the vertical integration enables to reduce risks in fish farming, for instance due to poor quality of feed or base materials, and to secure the volume required for processing as well as price stability of raw material.

The fish production industry is extremely dependent on availability and the price of raw fish. Large producers make their production plans for three years in advance as it is difficult and expensive in shorter perspective to adapt a fish farm's production cycle to market needs. Therefore, the world market fish supply is relatively rigid in the short-term, while demand is somewhat shifting depending on the season. This imbalance in fish supply and demand results in constantly fluctuating price of raw fish. Moreover, the far-reaching change in supply chains during the past month in connection with the spread

of the virus has increased the amplitude and unpredictability of prices. The Group counters the impact of external environment and volatility of fish price through the changes of the Group's production and sales strategy.
