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 1 st quarter and 3 months of the 2020/2021 financial year 6
The Group's consolidated EBITDA in the 1st quarter of the 2020/2021 financial year was -0.48 million euros (1Q 19/20: 1.47 million euros). EBITDA from operations (i.e. before one-offs and revaluation of bioassets) was -0.34 million euros (1Q 19/20: 0.73 million euros). EBITDA from operations was negatively impacted by a decrease in the share of smoked products in sales, which was mainly due to lower sales volumes and prices in Finland in the private label segment; Covid-19's negative impact on sales in the HoReCa (hotels, restaurants, catering) sector and a decrease in fish market prices - salmon price decreased -9.4% and rainbow trout price decreased -21.4% compared to the same period last year. Due to the above, the gross margin decreased by 4.0 pp compared to the 1st quarter of the previous financial year (1Q 20/21: 9.4% vs. 1Q 19/20: 13.4%).
The net loss for the quarter was 1.44 million euros (1Q 19/20: net profit 0.57 million euros), including an increase in financial expenses of 0.11 million euros due to the increase in interest expenses (investment loan interest 3.25% vs. bond interest 6.25%).
The Group's consolidated turnover in the 1st quarter was 12.7 million euros, decreasing by 34.1% compared to the same period last year (1Q 19/20: 19.3 million euros), including a 1.5% decrease in sales in retail chains, 52.1% in the HoReCa sector and 60.9% in wholesale.
The crisis continues in the fish sector and the temporary and partial opening of countries in the summer was too short for the market to recover. As noted in the previous announcement, the HoReCa sector, which accounts for about 1/3 of all salmon and trout trade, both globally and regionally, will not return to previous levels in the next 12 months. As a result, raw material and sales prices have fallen by almost a quarter. To some extent, this is offset by retail sector, but it is not enough. This has led to a situation of oversupply in the market, forcing producers to lower prices. Fish farmers also operate at or below cost price, which is why most of the largest fish farmers have reported a significant reduction in profits or losses.
A larger change in consumption behaviour indicates that the share of fresh fish in sales is increasing and the share of smoked fish in the Finnish market is not growing. This requires a restructuring of today's production models, and new products in our portfolio will be based on fresh fish. At the same time, wholesale sales continue to decline in monetary terms due to the collapse of HoReCa and falling fish prices. Although June-July witnessed a recovery, the arrival of the second wave of the virus has already placed additional restrictions on the HoReCa sector in several countries since August.
On the positive side, the quarter will be characterized by the growth of the volume of the Estonian fish farming, the export of fish farmed by us to Japan and the British government's subsidies for employees on compulsory leave. This year we foresee a decline in the Finnish market, a growth in the Baltics, especially in Estonia, where we have achieved a significant market share in a short time. John Ross Jr. has been very resilient to the crisis and has maintained its profitability and prices of its products despite some decline in turnover. A significant part of the decrease in Finnish turnover is due to the decrease in wholesale, i.e. fresh fish trading, as well as sales prices, as the price of raw materials has also decreased – this is typical for a market with a very large share of private label products.
We are certainly not satisfied with the results of our Finnish units and at the beginning of the calendar year we will start a thorough restructuring of the Finnish units, which should ensure a positive cash flow. The optimization of Finland's cost base is hampered by the fact that the Finnish labour market is inflexible and that the Finnish state has not made efforts to support companies in crisis. We will traditionally end the second quarter (October-November 2020) with a profit, despite the restrictions arising from the corona.
The company's net debt was 21.5 million euros as of 30.09.2020 (30.06.2020: 20.7 million euros). As of 30.09.2020, the Group's working capital was negative: current liabilities exceeded the level of current assets by 4.4 million euros (30.06.2019: 4.0 million euros). Current liabilities include liabilities to related parties in the amount of 4.6 million euros (including 1.7 million euros short-term loan with accrued interest from Amber Trust II SCA and 2.9 million euros fair value of non-controlling interest buy-out obligation in JRJ & PRF Ltd. Eliminating short-term liabilities to related parties, with whom the Group has the opportunity to agree on payment terms longer than 12 months, if required, the Group's working capital is positive.
This financial year will continue to be affected by Covid-19, and we will certainly see the effects of the ongoing economic crisis materialize in the next financial year. We assume that the recovery of the HoReCa sector will not be seen until 2021. Considering that the share of total global HoReCa in salmon and trout is about 30%, there is an oversupply of both raw materials and finished products in the market due to the corona epidemic.
Based on analysts' and Fishpool's salmon futures prices, price growth and demand growth of up to 9% can be expected only in 2021. The average future price of salmon in 2021 at the date of the report is 5.55 euros per kg compared to 4.40 euros per kg in August 2020.
For PRFoods, the biggest impact is on the market price of fish. This is due to two main reasons: a) the impact on fish farming, b) the change in Finnish retail prices, where the prices of final products react immediately to the fall in raw material prices due to the large share of private label market in the whole market. Due to the decrease in demand for HoReCa, we will see low fish prices until the spring of 2021. This is definitely a good news for consumers. Despite increased production volumes and demand for some products, lower prices do not allow such a large profit to be made in absolute terms.
Considering the situation, we are more optimistic about the future than at the end of the financial year, for the following reasons:
• In the summer, it was premature to assume that the damage caused by the coronavirus was over. At the same time, the long-term effects of the accompanying economic crisis on consumer behaviour as well as on competition are unpredictable.
We have implemented a cost-saving program since the 2nd quarter, as a result of which costs will decrease by approximately 0.5 million euros per year. The main theme for the 2020/2021 financial year is the maintenance of a positive cash flow and sustainable operations. Considering the regional position of the Group's companies, we believe that we will be able to cope better with the situation than our competitors.
Covid-19 has created a new situation, but despite this, PRFoods never had to stop production. We will continue to develop PRFoods as an environmentally friendly and high-quality fish farming and processing company.
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.
