    • 2% supply growth 2025e, downside risk
  • Realised blended farming cost in Q4 is expected to be on a par with, or lower than, that of the third quarter depending on biological cost
    • Lower feed prices to further impact realised cost positively

Dividend policy

  • Mowi's ambition is to create long-term value for the shareholder through both positive share price development and a growing dividend in line with long-term earnings
    • − Quarterly ordinary dividend shall under normal circumstances be at least 50% of underlying earnings per share (EPS)
    • − Excess capital will be paid out as extraordinary dividends
  • When deciding excess capital the Board of Directors will take into consideration expected cash flow, capital expenditure plans, financing requirements and appropriate financial flexibility. Further to this a long-term target level for net interest-bearing debt is determined, reviewed and updated on a regular basis
  • Shareholder returns are distributed primarily as cash dividends with the option of using share buybacks as a complementary supplement on an ad-hoc basis

Salmon and land farmed animals have different reproductive strategies

External Fertilisation

  • R-strategists
  • higher number of reproductive cells
  • lower survival rates
  • more influenced by environmental conditions

Internal Fertilisation

  • K-strategists
  • lower number of reproductive cells
  • higher survival rates
  • less influenced by environmental conditions

Farmed salmon have much higher survival rates than wild salmon

Atlantic salmon production time is significantly longer than for most land farmed animals, and mortality rates are therefore naturally higher...

Source: Land animals- Animalia Norway (2023). Mortality rates refers to the average mortality rates during the on growing phase for aquatic animals. Freshwater mortality of 4% for growth period of 9-14 months (Mowi's data).

...however, monthly mortality rates for farmed salmon are significantly lower than for the majority of land animal proteins

MONTHLY MORTALITY (%)

Source: Animalia (2023) and Mowi's own data; complete production cycle (freshwater + seawater)

Mortality rates for Atlantic Salmon relatively stable over the past 30 years
