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
In addition, AS PRFoods holds a 20%-share of AS Toidu- ja Fermentatsioonitehnoloogia Arenduskeskus (Competence Center of Food and Fermentation Technology).
The most significant trademarks of the Group are "PRFoods", "Heimon Kala" and "John Ross Aberdeen".
Consolidated unaudited interim report 2 nd quarter and 6 months of the 2020/2021 financial year 6
Second half of 2020 is characterized by continuation of COVID crisis. Salmon prices are 12-year low and compared to the same period last year, salmon prices are down 38% and rainbow trout is down by 22.5%. Adding to this global decrease in demand due to shutdown of HoReCa and you can call the situation as "perfect storm". Companies who emerge from this crisis unscathed will be future winners. Arrival of vaccines is giving hope that we can see some normalization during 2nd half of 2021. 2022 will definitely be more profitable year in Fish farming as farmers can plan better the demand. Today's farming volumes were planned before crisis and therefore there is massive oversupply in the market and most Fish farmers operate either at loss or at break-even. John Ross Jr has shown extraordinary resilience in current crisis and is forecasted to end current financial year with similar result as to year before, gross margin of the business has risen over 50%. Estonian operations and cost base has been adjusted to the changed market situation. Unfortunately we cannot say the same about Finland and we plan to carry out significant restructuring of Finnish business during Q1.
The group ended Q4 already in profit, but due to significantly lower sales, our operational EBITDA margin was 3.4% compared to 8.4% year before (consolidated EBITDA margin 4.1% and 5.3% accordingly). Production cost base cannot be adjusted to such drastic market changes without bigger restructuring. Yet we have managed to decrease costs in Finnish unit by 75,000 euros per month from beginning of the year and see further avenues for decreasing costs. At the same time we cannot ignore the fact that sales need to be recovered, particularly in Finland.
The focus in the beginning of the year is to adjust cost base to the market situation, improving liquidity of the business and larger focus in Baltics and Scandinavia on Fish farming which continues to be the most promising area in business. John Ross Jr has adjusted extremely well to the crisis and despite loss of some sales in first 6 months of current financial year, has increased its profitability due to lower raw material prices.
Thanks to lower cost base, we believe, that we will finish 2020/21 II half and entire financial year with positive EBITDA.
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.

Biological assets are fish stock accounted for in PRFoods' fish farms in live weight, including rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and European whitefish (Coregonus lavaretus).
The Group uses the Norwegian export statistics (source: akvafakta.no) to assess the value of rainbow trout's stock. For assessing the value of whitefish stock, the monthly market price survey of the Finnish Fish Farmers' Association is used. When the price of raw fish increases or decreases, so does the value of fish harvested in fish farms of PRFoods, having either a positive or a negative impact on the Group's financial results.

On 18.01.2019 Avamere Kalakasvatus OÜ was registered in the Estonian Commercial Registry. The company is an associate of AS PRFoods, and it submitted an application to the Technical Regulatory Authority for the building right of the establishment of an offshore fish farming complex in the Estonian waters off the coast of Paldiski. The building right is to allow establishing a rainbow trout farming complex in the offshore cages.
Since 2010 the Group holds 20% in AS Toidu- ja Fermentatsioonitehnoloogia Arenduskeskus (Competence Center of Food and Fermentation Technology).
A mortgage was set for the benefit of the Finnish Customs Board in the amount of 84 thousand euros. The purpose of the transaction was a more streamlined organisation of the day-to-day operations by reducing persistent prepayments to the Customs Board.
The management estimated that it is improbable that the Finnish Customs Board will liquate the pledged asset.
The tax authorities may at any time inspect the books and records of the Group within 5 years subsequent to the reported tax year in Estonia and Finland, within 6 years in United Kingdom and within 7 years in Sweden, and may as a result of their inspection impose additional tax assessments, interests and penalties. During the first three months of the financial year and in the previous financial years the tax authorities have not conducted tax audits. The management of the Group is not aware of any circumstances which may give rise to a potential material liability in this respect.
The Management Board confirms the correctness and completeness of the consolidated condensed interim report for the 2 nd quarter and 6 months of the financial year 2020/2021 of AS PRFoods and its subsidiaries (together the Group) presented in the pages 7 – 38 hereof and confirms to the best of its knowledge that:
