AS PRFoods (hereinafter the "Group") is a company engaged in fish farming, processing and sales, and its shares are listed on the main list of NASDAQ Tallinn Stock Exchange since 5 May 2010 and its bonds are listed since 6 April 2020.
AS PRFoods' key market is Finland, where we are amongst the four largest fish production companies. 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, Turku Archipelago area in Finland 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 four modern factories in Renko and Kokkola (Finland), 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.
Heimon Kala is a brand with a long history, originated in Finland and being one of the most beloved fish producers there. In Estonia, Heimon Kala products have been sold since the end of 2018. 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. As introducing the Group's own brands is in its early stage in Scandinavia and elsewhere in the world, the management expects the Group's growth period is yet ahead.


1) The Group does not consolidate Avamere Kalakasvatus OÜ as it holds neither dominant nor significant control over the company
2) 64% of Coln Valley Smokery Ltd shares owned by JRJ & PRF Ltd and 36% by John Ross Jr (Aberdeen) Ltd
3) From 01.01.2021 Vettel OÜ continued its activities under the business name Heimon Kala OÜ
4) Saaremere Kala AS acquired 15% of the shares of the holding company JRJ & PRF Limited and holds 100% of JRJ & PRF Limited shares

The most significant trademarks of the Group are "PRFoods", "Heimon Kala" and "John Ross Aberdeen".

Consolidated unaudited interim report 1nd quarter and 3 months of the 2021/2022 financial year 6
Q1 had many things we can be satisfied with- our sales grew by 11.5% and group net loss decreased by 50%. Unfortunately, there are many things, that unearthed massive management mistakes in Finnish unit. All PRFoods current problems stem from management mistakes made in 2020-2021. As of toda, we have completed 100% the change of management and key people in Finland, that we started in summer and decision to close lossmaking Kokkola factory. These steps build base for renewal of profitability in 2022.
Corona crises speed up the unearthing of weaknesses in Finnish unit, and unfortunately the previous management did not want to acknowledge their mistakes or correct them. The proof that we are on right track with right people who joined us in fall this year, is the fact as of October we back to being profitable also in Finland: Heimon Kala Oy October EBITDA was 28 thousand euros and better by 270 thousand euros on YoY basis. Finnish unit caused liquidity crisis, which we are correcting with increased performance of our farming unit and cashflow released from biomass harvesting.
Thanks to the changes made to product portfolio and production by new Finnish management, we are out of all nonprofitable products in Finland and have secured price and sales increases for next year in all categories. Considering the turbulent times in Finland, we aim to provide investors with regular updates from this unit.
Very well performed our UK unit, who despite some one-offs, fulfilled its EBITDA target in the sum of 172 thousand euros. Estonian EBITDA was still in minus by 150 thousand euros in Q1 due to loss-making Finnish sales.
The decline in Finnish management continued in summer, where instead of cutting loss-making production, they increased it, resulting in 880 thousand euros EBITDA loss.
Fish farming is making very good results in current quarter thanks to increased harvest volume and prices. Fish farming could even post a better EBITDA, but we delayed our Swedish harvest until Q1 2022 due to smaller biomass increase in hot summer. Considering that fresh fish prices are higher in winter, this decision has positive economic impact. At the same time this will decrease our cash flow from biomass in current quarter by 1.5 million euros, which will be deferred until Q1 2022.
We have followed our previously announced plan to emerge from this crisis:
Group's financial position is not easy. At the same time, we must remember that 11 million euros bonds have been issued solely for refinancing of John Ross Jr. Acquisition and John Ross Jr results have not been impacted so severly, their operational cash flow is very strong and they pay regularly dividends to parent company, therefore we find their leverage to be acceptable.
Fish farming requires long term capital for fish feed and this is under works.
Last year we were forced to reduce significantly working capital financing through banks, which put strain on company's finances. We have reduced significantly working capital needs in operations, also through lower inventory. Most important is to restore profitability in the environment of lower sales and restructure loss-making business units.
Having cut our teeth now for second year in corona crisis, we know that it is not sustainable to rely on outside help and all tough decisions need to be taken sooner than later. For our advantage the fish market has started much stronger this year and is more predictable and demand for our products is growing. The only objective of new financial year is profit and everything that blocks our road to profitabilty must be eliminated.
Sincerely,
Indrek Kasela

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, in the archipelago in Turku area in Finland 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 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 related to 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.
