  • Operational EBIT of EUR 173 million. Financial EBIT of EUR 74 million
  • Record-high revenue of EUR 1 444 million
  • All-time high seawater production and harvest volumes of 161k GWT
  • Harvest volume guidance of record-high 500k GWT for 2024 maintained. 2025 volume guidance further up to 520k GWT
  • Cost improved from Q1 and Q2 on lower feed prices and strong volumes, partly offset by increased biological cost
  • All-time high earnings in Consumer Products and Feed, and record-high feed volumes
  • Quarterly dividend of NOK 1.50 per share

HIGHLIGHTS – THIRD QUARTER 2024

  • Operational EBIT of EUR 173.0 million, down from EUR 203.1 million in Q3 2023 as the effects of all-time high volumes and stable cost were offset by lower prices. Prices were negatively impacted by high seasonal industry supply and temporary lower demand in the US. Financial EBIT of EUR 73.7 million.
  • All-time high revenue of EUR 1 443.7 million (EUR 1 358.6 million).
  • Best ever seawater production and harvest volumes of 161 020 GWT, approximately in line with guidance of 159 500 GWT.
  • Harvest volume guidance for 2024 maintained at record-high 500k GWT.
  • Volume guidance for 2025 at a new high of 520k GWT, supported by record-high biomass in sea of 329k LWT (315k LWT). As recently as 2018, harvest volumes were 375k tonnes. This represents a growth of 145k tonnes, equivalent to 4.8% CAGR since 2018 vs. 2.7% projected CAGR for the industry.
  • At the Capital Markets Day on 26 September, Mowi presented its plans for continued volume growth to 600k in 2029 as well as further cost improvements in the order of EUR 300-400 million.
  • Realised blended farming cost in Q3 of EUR/kg 5.72, which was an improvement of EUR 0.12 from EUR/kg 5.84 in Q2 on lower feed prices and strong volumes, partly offset by increased biological cost. In Q3 2023, the cost was EUR/kg 5.73.
  • Feed prices continue down on lower raw material prices including fish meal and fish oil.
  • 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.
  • Consumer Products with best ever Operational EBIT of EUR 43.5 million (EUR 39.7 million) on good operational performance, strong volumes and seasonally lower raw material prices. Volumes of 65 005 tonnes product weight driven by good retail volumes in Europe (59 490 tonnes).
  • Feed with all-time Operational EBITDA of EUR 25.2 million (EUR 23.8 million) and sold volumes of 191 279 tonnes (168 945 tonnes). Volumes were up 22k tonnes or 13.2% from Q3 2023.
  • NIBD of EUR 1 770.1 million, positively impacted by release of working capital following lower standing biomass cost. Strong financial position with covenant equity ratio of 51.0%.
  • Quarterly dividend of NOK 1.50 per share.

1) This interim report is unaudited. Please refer to part 4 of the Annual Report and the appendix to this quarterly report (available online on our web site) for detailed descriptions and reconciliation of Alternative Performance Measures (non-IFRS measures) including definitions of key figures and reconciliation to IFRS figures. 2) Operational revenue: Revenue and other income, including realised gain/loss from currency derivatives related to contract sales, and excluding change in unrealised salmon derivatives and sales tax in the Faroes.

3) Operational EBIT: Calculated by excluding the following items from financial EBIT: Change in unrealised internal margin, change in unrealised gains/losses from salmon derivatives, net fair value adjustment on biomass, onerous contract provisions, restructuring costs, income from associated companies, impairment losses and writedowns, sales taxes/license fees/production fees and other non-operational items. Operational EBIT also includes realised gain/loss from currency derivatives related to contract sales. A reconciliation between Operational EBIT and financial EBIT is provided on the next page, and we also refer to the appendix to this quarterly report (available online) for further information. The largest individual difference between Operational EBIT and financial EBIT is usually the net fair value adjustment on biomass according to IFRS (and the related onerous contracts provision), which is a volatile figure impacted by estimates of future salmon prices as well as other estimates.

4) Operational EBITDA: Operational EBIT plus depreciations. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.

5) Cash flow from operations: Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.

6) NIBD: Total non-current interest-bearing financial debt, minus total cash, plus current interest-bearing financial debt and plus net effect of currency derivatives on interest-bearing financial debt. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.

7) Underlying EPS: Operational EBIT adjusted for accrued interest payable and underlying earnings in associated companies, with estimated weighted tax rate - per share. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.

8) Net cash flow per share: Cash flow from operations and investments (capex), net financial items paid and realised currency effects - per share. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded. 9) ROCE: Annualised return on average capital employed based on EBIT excluding net fair value adjustment on biomass, onerous contract provisions, production & sales taxes and other non-operational items / Average NIBD + Equity, excluding net fair value adjustment on biomass, onerous contract provisions and net assets held for sale,

unless there are material transactions in the period. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.

EBIT 73.7 183.1 402.2 749.1

Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 173.0 million, i.e. a decrease of EUR 30.1 million from the comparable quarter. This was driven by lower achieved prices as a result of high seasonal industry supply and temporary lower demand in the US. Costs were stable and volumes increased. The contribution from Feed was EUR 21.5 million (EUR 16.1 million), and Farming contributed EUR 64.2 million (EUR 104.1 million). Markets contributed EUR 47.1 million (EUR 45.7 million) and Consumer Products contributed EUR 43.5 million (EUR 39.7 million).

Earnings before financial items and taxes (EBIT) came to EUR 73.7 million (EUR 183.1 million). Net fair value adjustment on biomass including onerous contracts amounted to EUR -81.6 million (EUR 0.4 million) driven by lower short-term price assumptions vs. Q2.

Income from associated companies after tax of EUR 8.3 million mainly relates to Nova Sea. The Q3 2024 underlying operational result for Nova Sea was equivalent to EUR 1.21 per kg, down from EUR 2.73 per kg in Q3 2023 in the wake of industry-wide seasonal issues with lice and gills compounded by record-high sea temperatures in Northern Norway. Harvested volume was 9 015 GWT (10 345 GWT).

*Excluding effects of IFRS 16

Cash flow from operations (excluding effects of IFRS 16) amounted to EUR 310.0 million (EUR 157.2 million). There was a net release of working capital in the quarter of EUR 99.1 million mainly due to lower biomass cost at stock quarter-over-quarter. This was driven by reduced feed prices. Release of accounts receivables and inventory in Feed also contributed positively, partly offset by increased biomass in sea. Tax payments amounted to EUR 7.1 million, positively influenced by refund of prepayments of tax in Canada of EUR 15.8 million.

Net Capex was EUR 111.9 million (EUR 75.9 million), of which EUR 58.1 million related to the traffic light auction in Norway. Adjusted for this, Net Capex was EUR 53.8 million in Q3.

NIBD at the end of the period was EUR 1 770.1 (EUR 1 705.5), excluding the effects of IFRS 16.

NIBD including the effects of IFRS 16 was EUR 2 314.3 million (EUR 2 135.6 million) per the end of the quarter.

Global supply of salmon increased by 5% in the quarter to a new quarterly record-high level on increased smolt stocking and partly advanced harvesting in Norway. Consumption followed suit and reached a new quarterly all-time high level. In value terms, the overall global salmon market remained at peak quarterly spending levels supported by strong demand trends. In line with normal seasonality, salmon spot prices declined throughout the quarter on high harvesting, however, prices have flatted out and started to increase post quarter-end on seasonally favourable supply/demand dynamics.

Global harvest of Atlantic salmon amounted to 718,000 tonnes in the third quarter and was in line with guidance.

Harvest volumes in Norway increased by 7% compared with the third quarter of 2023, in line with expectations. Record-high sea temperatures from central Norway northwards drove feeding levels and harvesting higher. However, rising industry sea lice levels and connected biological issues took their toll on the biomass with a higher than normal share of small fish being harvested. This has reduced the overall standing biomass at the end of September to -0.5% year-on-year.

Harvest volumes in Scotland increased by 10% compared with the same quarter last year, from a low base. Volume growth was driven by improved biological conditions and higher survival rates than in the same quarter last year. Harvest volumes in Faroe Islands increased by 41%. This elevated supply was driven by delayed harvesting from the second quarter due to the workers' strike, but also by good underlying growth conditions in sea.

Harvest volumes from Chile decreased by 2% compared with the same quarter last year, yet biological performance remained good. Standing biomass at the end of September was estimated to be up by 1% year-on-year.

Harvest volumes in North America decreased by 12% compared with last year on seasonal challenging environmental conditions in Canada West. Production in Canada East continued to improve and remains supportive of future growth.

Global consumption reached a new quarterly all-time high of 703,000 tonnes, representing an increase of 5% year-on-year. The estimated total value spent on salmon remained at a peak level yet stable compared with the third quarter of last year.

Consumption in the EU and UK market increased by 8% compared with the same quarter in 2023, whilst consumption increased by 5% in Europe. Overall demand developments in the major European markets continued to be supported by positive retail developments. Seasonal promotional activity fuelled market activity and consumer demand during the quarter. Estimated foodservice demand remained quite stable in the third quarter.

Consumption in the US was stable compared with the same quarter in 2023 on growth in the retail segment, offset by reduced foodservice consumption. Compared with Europe, the US retail market is still somewhat behind on the recovery curve. Lower shelf prices for salmon continued to trend down in the quarter which was positive for increased consumption levels, particularly within the fresh pre-packed category (Mowi quarterly growth 9% year-on-year). We expect demand to return to trend growth in due course. Brazilian consumption continued to show strong growth and increased by 18% year-on-year. This was a record-high level for a third quarter and was driven by the foodservice segment.

Consumption in Asia increased by 5% compared with the same period in 2023 on generally better availability of salmon and strong underlying demand in the foodservice segment. All key markets showed good volume developments.

Branding and product development

The MOWI brand has become the world's largest global salmon brand, although salmon is still predominantly sold as non-branded products or private labels.

Five years ago, MOWI embarked on a mission to redefine the salmon experience with a simple yet powerful brand promise: "we care more for your salmon." This commitment is at the core of the brand's good development and reflects Mowi's unique position as the world's only fully integrated salmon producer. By controlling the entire value chain, from roe to plate, MOWI ensures the highest standards of quality, sustainability, and animal welfare, resulting in salmon that is responsibly raised and exceptional in taste.

MOWI's product range caters to a wide variety of consumers with premium offerings. Its flagship products include MOWI Pure, featuring the finest fresh salmon cuts, MOWI Signature, known for expertly smoked and marinated selections, and MOWI Supreme, designed for the most discerning chefs. Recent innovations like MOWI Sushi and MOWI Wraps, ready-to-eat options for today's fast-paced lifestyles, demonstrate MOWI's commitment to meeting evolving consumer needs.

Innovation has been a key driver of MOWI's growth. The patented stairtray packaging enhances the presentation and ease of serving smoked salmon, while QR codes on all packaging enable consumers to trace their salmon's journey from farm to plate. In addition, product innovations like the mentioned MOWI Wraps and the ready-to-eat Traiteur range in France showcase the brand's focus on delivering convenience and quality to consumers worldwide.

Since its launch in 2019, MOWI has gained significant traction in both retail and food service sectors. MOWI products are now available in major retailers across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, including key online grocery platforms, and are served in premium restaurants globally. MOWI's marketing efforts, driven by high-profile brand ambassadors such as Kristofer Hivju and social media influencers in key markets, have bolstered its strong brand equity. Today, MOWI is a trusted name in 16 countries across Europe, the U.S., and Asia, with growing consumer awareness and loyalty. Through a blend of innovation, quality, and care, MOWI continues to set the benchmark for premium salmon on the global stage.

Financial results

Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 145.5 million (EUR 185.1 million), equivalent to EUR 1.38 per kg (EUR 2.15 per kg). Lower market prices adversely impacted results. Earnings were also negatively influenced by gill issues and high sea lice pressure, especially in the last part of the quarter, on the back of recordhigh sea temperatures from central Norway and northwards. These issues were partly offset by all-time high harvest volumes.

Financial EBIT amounted to EUR 63.7 million (EUR 186.1 million).

Price and volume development

The spot market for salmon of Norwegian origin was negatively impacted by high industry supply, and the superior reference price of EUR 6.03 per kg was 11% lower than in Q3 2023. The overall price achieved by Mowi for salmon of Norwegian origin was 11% above the reference price (8% above). Contribution from contracts, including contribution from Consumer Products, had a positive effect on price achievement relative to the reference price in the third quarter of both 2024 and 2023. The contract share was 16% (22%) and the superior share improved from Q3 2023.

Harvested volumes were record-high at 105 776 tonnes gutted weight (86 228 tonnes) in the quarter, which was in line with guidance. The 23% volume increase y-o-y was driven by all-time high seawater production and increased smolt stocking.

Volume guidance for 2025 is record-high 315k GWT, which represents a growth of as much as 85k GWT since 2018, i.e. a CAGR of 4.6% vs. 2.9% for the industry.

Operational EBIT Salmon of Norwegian Origin Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023

Costs and operations

Operational performance and biological conditions became more challenging over the course of the quarter. This was related to gill issues linked to knock-on effects from lice treatments, compounded by record-high sea temperatures. Nevertheless, overall seawater production was the highest ever for Mowi Norway. Survival rate and feed conversion ratio were relatively stable, while average harvest weight and superior share improved from Q3 2023.

Released-from-stock2) feed cost was reduced vs. the comparable quarter following lower feed prices. As a result of the above-mentioned challenges, full cost increased somewhat from Q3 2023. Incident-based mortality costs amounted to EUR 25.7 million (EUR 18.8 million).

As a EUR company, Mowi Norway has hedged away the FX gain related to the timing difference between revenues and expenses when the NOK weakens, contrary to our Norwegian peers. In the third quarter, this lost opportunity cost amounted to EUR 18.4 million (EUR 34.9 million in Q3 2023). Adjusted for this, Q3 Operational EBIT for Norwegian origin would have been EUR 164.1 million or EUR 1.55 per kg.

The biological issues have lingered on into October, before improving in November.

x Region South

  • Operational EBIT totalled EUR 34.6 million (EUR 39.1 million), equivalent to EUR 1.65 per kg (EUR 2.48 per kg). The positive effect of higher volumes was offset by lower prices compared with Q3 2023. Cost was stable.
  • Harvest volumes were 20 938 tonnes gutted weight, up from 15 776 tonnes in the third quarter of 2023 as a consequence of all-time high seawater production and increased smolt stocking.
  • Cost was stable from the comparable quarter. Lower feed cost and mortality cost contributed positively, while health cost was influenced by implementation of new treatment equipment. Incident-based mortality amounted to EUR 4.2 million (EUR 5.9 million).
  • In addition to the strong production, survival rate and feed conversion rate improved in the quarter. Average harvest weight and superior share were stable.

Region West

  • This was another good quarter for Region West. Earnings and volumes increased from Q3 2023, and the margin was the highest among the four regions of Mowi Norway. Operational EBIT was EUR 54.1 million (EUR 52.2 million), equivalent to EUR 1.74 per kg (EUR 1.86 per kg).
  • Harvest volumes were 31 063 tonnes gutted weight, up from 28 036 tonnes in the comparable quarter on improved seawater production.
  • Biological performance was strong in July and most of August, before conditions became more challenging. This was primarily related to gill issues. Operational control was secured by carrying out considerable treatment activities in addition to early harvesting at some sites.
  • Net production, feed conversion rate, average harvest weight and superior share improved from the comparable quarter.
  • Cost was reduced from Q3 2023 driven by lower feed cost, improved biological KPIs and continued good cost control. Cost was at the same level as Region North in the quarter. Incident-based mortality was EUR 7.5 million in the quarter (EUR 6.1 million).

Region Mid

  • Results in Q3 were negatively impacted by gill issues and increased lice pressure compounded by record-high sea temperatures. Nevertheless, earnings increased from Q3 2023 on higher volumes and lower cost, partly offset by lower prices. Operational EBIT was EUR 13.1 million, or EUR 0.59 per kg. Earnings in the comparable quarter of EUR 9.8 million (EUR 0.96 per kg) were marked by very low volumes.
  • Harvest volumes were 22 022 tonnes gutted weight vs. a low benchmark in the comparable quarter of 10 160 tonnes. The volume increase was partly driven by early harvesting.
  • Cost improved from Q3 2023 despite incident-based mortality costs of EUR 11.5 million (EUR 4.9 million). Q3 2023 was influenced by negative scale effects from very low volumes.
  • The above-mentioned challenges negatively impacted biological KPIs in the quarter. Thus, Q3 represented a temporary setback. Nevertheless, the turn-around process initiated in 2023 continues.

Region North

  • Operational and biological performance was challenging in the third quarter driven by record-high sea temperatures and high lice pressure.
  • The backloaded harvest profile also contributed negatively as market prices were highest in the beginning of the period.
  • Operational EBIT was EUR 43.7 million (EUR 84.0 million), equivalent to EUR 1.38 per kg (EUR 2.61 per kg).
  • Harvest volumes were 31 753 tonnes gutted weight, which was down from 32 256 tonnes in the comparable quarter in order to build biomass.
  • Cost per kg harvested biomass increased from the comparable quarter driven by the above-mentioned challenges, partly offset by lower feed cost. Incident-based mortality was EUR 2.5 million (EUR 1.9 million). Biology is improving on colder temperatures.

Financial results

Q3 was another good quarter for Mowi Scotland with improved biological performance and cost, partly offset by lower prices. Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 12.7 million (EUR 9.2 million), the equivalent of EUR 0.83 per kg (EUR 0.63 per kg).

Financial EBIT amounted to EUR 24.4 million (EUR 16.3 million).

Price and volume development

Achieved prices for Mowi Scotland were down year-over-year, although they were 46% above the reference in the quarter (27% above) due to a contract share of 62% (49%). Quality was good and harvest weights improved from Q3 2023.

Harvest volumes increased somewhat to 15 227 tonnes gutted weight (14 730 tonnes), in line with guidance, on improved production. Volume guidance for 2025 is 67k GWT (64k GWT for 2024).

Operational EBIT Salmon of Scottish Origin Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023

Costs and operations

Cost decreased from the comparable quarter on the back of the downward trend in feed prices and higher survival rates combined with higher average weights.

Production, mortality, feed conversion rate and harvest weights all improved from the comparable quarter.

Sea temperatures have been lower than in Q3 2023 and the seasonal challenges associated with algae and jelly fish have been less of an issue this year. AGD remains relatively high, but higher treatment capacity is available to Mowi Scotland, due to the challenging presence of this gill condition in recent years.

The first postsmolt produced in Loch Etive have been transferred to ordinary sea sites, and the transfer went well. Furthermore, construction of the new broodstock facility at Ardessie is ongoing and is expected to be completed in 2025. Both the postsmolt project and the broodstock facility are important steps to further improve our biological and financial performance.

Financial results

Biological performance was good in the third quarter and cost was the best among the Farming countries in Q3. Volumes also increased from the comparable quarter. However, market conditions for salmon of Chilean origin continued to be challenging. Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 13.6 million (EUR 8.5 million), equivalent to EUR 0.59 per kg (EUR 0.48 per kg).

Financial EBIT amounted to EUR 6.4 million (EUR 8.2 million).

Price and volume development

While spot prices declined somewhat on the back of a more challenging US market, Mowi's achieved prices including contribution from Sales & Marketing increased from Q3 2023. The overall price achieved by Mowi for salmon of Chilean origin was 14% above the average spot reference price in the quarter (8% above). Superior share and average harvest weight improved from the comparable quarter, and this had a positive impact on price achievement. Furthermore, contribution from contracts, including contribution from Consumer Products, had a favourable effect on price achievement relative to the reference price in the third quarter of both 2024 and 2023. The contract share in the quarter was 23% (30%).

Harvested volume increased to 23 211 tonnes gutted weight in the third quarter, as guided. This was up from 17 651 tonnes in the comparable quarter on increased smolt stocking and improved average harvest weight. Volume guidance for 2025 is 74k GWT (72k GWT for 2024).

Costs and operations

Cost improved from Q3 2023 on lower mortality costs. Incidentbased mortality costs recognised in the period were EUR 2.5 million (EUR 2.8 million). Somewhat higher released-from-stock cost due to harvesting of sites subject to environmental challenges were offset by other cost improvements in our Chilean operations.

Overall biological performance was good in the quarter, although there were challenges at certain sites related to presence of jellyfish during the fall and subsequent SRS outbreaks. As part of Mowi Chile's efforts to further improve operations, the use of freshwater treatments have been ramped up, with good results so far for sea lice and gill issues.

Operational EBIT Salmon of Canadian Origin Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023

Financial results

Operational EBIT amounted to EUR -3.6 million in the quarter (EUR -4.6 million), negatively impacted by an algae bloom in Canada West. Operational EBIT for Canada West was EUR -3.9 million (EUR -0.5 million). In Canada East, biological and financial performance has continued to improve and Q3 Operational EBIT was EUR 0.3 million (EUR -4.1 million), equivalent to EUR 0.64 per kg, despite low volumes.

Financial EBIT amounted to EUR -15.4 million (EUR -10.2 million).

Price and volume development

The reference price level for Canadian salmon increased from the comparable quarter on lower supply. The combined price achievement for our Canadian operations was 2% above the reference price in the third quarter (3% above).

Harvest volume was 6 684 tonnes gutted weight (7 485 tonnes). In Canada West, the harvest volume was 6 228 tonnes, up from 5 855 tonnes in the comparable quarter due to site mix. In Canada East, the harvest volume was low, with only 456 tonnes (1 630 tonnes) in the quarter due to lower opening biomass.

Harvest volume guidance for 2025 is 16k GWT for Canada West (21k GWT for 2024) and 15k GWT for Canada East (9k GWT for 2024).

Costs and operations

Cost increased from Q3 2023 as a result of increased cost in Canada West. This was driven by algae-induced mortality in the Port Hardy and Klemtu regions of British Columbia in July and August. The biological situation improved in September. Nevertheless, the environmental issues and elevated mortality seen in the third quarter will negatively impact volumes and cost in 2025. With regards to the strategic review of Mowi Canada West announced in the second quarter following the change in framework conditions, this is now ongoing. Mowi will explore all available options before taking the appropriate action.

In Canada East, cost was reduced from the comparable quarter. Biological performance in this region has been good over time, paving the way for increased smolt stocking and harvest volumes. Biological KPIs in Canada East improved from Q3 2023, including production, survival rate, feed conversion ratio and average harvest weight. Cost at stock has also improved.

Consumer Products' operating revenues were EUR 911.6 million (EUR 876.2 million) in the quarter.

Total Q3 volumes sold were strong at 65 005 tonnes product weight, up from 59 490 tonnes in the comparable quarter on positive developments in Asia and continued good retail demand in Europe.

Consumer Products Europe

Operational performance was good, including yield improvements. Volumes increased by 9% from the comparable quarter with higher volumes in both the Chilled segment and the Fresh segment. However, earnings were reduced due to tighter margins. That being said, we see continued good underlying demand and prices in Europe.

Consumer Products Americas

In Americas, volumes for skin pack products improved compared with Q3 2023. For the Fresh category as a whole, volumes were somewhat down. Volumes in the Chilled segment were relatively stable. Although demand is still sluggish, margins improved in the third quarter on falling raw material prices. Compared with Europe, the US retail market is still somewhat behind on the recovery curve. However, we expect demand to work itself out in due course.

Consumer Products Asia

In our Asian operations, volumes and earnings improved compared with Q3 2023 resulting in the best quarter ever for Consumer Products Asia. Operational performance was good.

Financial results

Q3 was the best quarter ever for Mowi Feed, with all-time high Operational EBITDA of EUR 25.2 (EUR 20.3 million) and recordhigh volumes.

Operational EBITDA in Norway was EUR 20.3 million (EUR 17.5 million) and in Scotland EUR 4.9 million (EUR 2.9 million) in Scotland.

Financial EBIT amounted to EUR 21.5 million (EUR 16.1 million).

Price and volume development

Operating revenues were EUR 363.3 million in the quarter (EUR 344.0 million).

Sold volumes from our Feed division were record-high at 191 279 tonnes (168 945 tonnes) following good seawater growth and demand from Farming.

Produced volumes were also all-time high at 162 100 tonnes (145 943 tonnes).

The volume delivered from Mowi Feed to our European farming operations accounted for 96% (93%) of total feed consumption in the third quarter.

Q3|2024

Operational EBIT Feed Q3 2024 vs Q3 2023

Market prices for feed continued to decrease in the third quarter, linked to the development in raw material prices.

Costs and operations

Feed performance was good in the quarter. Raw material costs decreased from the third quarter of 2023.

Feed prices continued to decline in Q3 2024. Raw material market prices have improved for most input factors. During 2023 this decline was offset by high prices for marine ingredients, i.e. fish oil and fish meal. In 2024, these prices have also come down, positively affected by the good results of the first anchovy wild catch season in Peru with regards to volumes and yield, and expectations also of good fisheries ahead.

PLANET - Sustainable and responsible development

Food from the ocean is key to provide nutritious food with a smaller climate footprint than land-based food production. It is a triple win: for the People, for the Planet and the Economy. Our big goal is to unlock the potential of the ocean to produce more food for a growing world population in a way that respects our planet and allows local communities to flourish.

Strong ESG ratings

Mowi has several recent strong ESG rankings and credentials. In the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index for 2023, Mowi was ranked the most sustainable animal protein producer in the world for the fifth time in a row. Furthermore, Mowi has been ranked A in the leadership band of the CDP Supplier Engagement Rating for 2024, which is the best amongst the seafood companies. This is also a good ranking compared to other European companies, which have an average ranking of B-. In the Position Green ESG ranking of large companies in the Nordics, Mowi was included in the "A list" of leadership companies.

Carbon footprint and reduction in GHG emissions The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) has approved Mowi's near-term science-based emissions reduction target.

Mowi continues to reduce GHG emissions in accordance with our science based targets. These targets are aligned with the Paris agreement to limit the increase in the global average temperature to 1.5°C. Mowi's scope 1 and 2 emissions were reduced by 5% in 2023, and by 36% since 2019. Mowi's total emissions, including Scope 3 is 9% lower than in the reference year of 2019. Mowi has a target of reducing absolute scope 1, 2 emissions by 51% by 2030.

Mowi's production of sustainable seafood in 2023 accounted for a total of nearly 1.8 million tonnes of avoided CO2 emissions compared with producing the equivalent volumes by using a mix of land animal proteins. This is equivalent to 353 000 cars removed from the road.

Escape prevention

Mowi has a target of zero fish escapes and is constantly striving to prevent escapes and improve methods, equipment and procedures so as to minimise or eliminate escapes. In the third quarter, there were 4 escape incidents with 13 506 escaped fish (4 escape incidents in the comparable quarter).

Sustainability certifications

99% of our harvest volumes in the quarter were sustainably certified with a Global Seafood Sustainable Initiative (GSSI) recognised standard (ASC, BAP or Global GAP). Third-party certification remains important to our sustainability strategy and our aim is to be 100% certified.

For further information regarding sustainability and biological risk management, reference is made to the Annual Report.

Scientists discover cancer-fighting compounds in foods including salmon

Research published in PLOS ONE by scientists in Japan has found that the compounds in nucleic acids may have the potential to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Studies were carried out by Associate Professor Akiko Kojima-Yuasa of Osaka Metropolitan University's Graduate School of Human Life and Ecology and her colleagues. Professor Kojima-Yuasa's team used compounds of nucleic acids derived from salmon milt DNA and torula yeast RNA and showed that chemical compounds like guanosine could prevent the proliferation of certain cancer cells, as the compounds stopped the cells from starting their replication phase.

MOWI The One: A Pop-Up Dining Experience in Gdansk

In 2024, a new and innovative dining concept captured the attention of both locals and tourists in Gdańsk, Poland: MΩWI The Ωne. The pop-up, running from May through September, showcased the finest Norwegian MOWI salmon in a modern Japanese tempura bar format. Located in the heart of Gdańsk's bustling Elektrykow Street, part of one of Europe's largest food districts, this unique culinary offering has quickly become a top destination, attracting around 10,000 visitors per week. Its popularity extends across the Tricity area, encompassing Gdańsk, Gdynia and Sopot.

With a daily average of 150-250 orders, MΩWI The Ωne has been a success. The menu, curated by acclaimed chef Adrian Klonowski, included a variety of MOWI Supreme Salmon dishes, from tempura to tartare. Guests could also enjoy set menus featuring items like spicy tempura MOWI Supreme Salmon with nori and rice, or marinated MOWI Supreme Salmon with daikon and egg yolk. Elektrykow Street, situated in the iconic Gdańsk Shipyard area, was the perfect backdrop for this trendy culinary experience. Given the positive reception of the pop-up, plans are already underway to bring this format to Warsaw, Poland's capital.

In addition to the pop-up's success, MOWI salmon has been featured in various local restaurants across the Kashubian region, further establishing its presence in Polish cuisine.

This summer's success sets the stage for future endeavours as MOWI continues to grow its brand.

MOWI part of the Venice Biennale

MOWI salmon made its debut in Venice, Italy, as part of the prestigious La Biennale di Venezia, an international cultural exhibition showcasing contemporary art, dance, architecture, cinema, and theater. Running from May until November, the Venice Biennale draws up to 600,000 visitors annually, placing MOWI's exceptional salmon at the heart of this global event.

This year, art lovers visiting the Arsenale and Giardini venues – the focal points of the Biennale – could enjoy MOWI branded dishes, thanks to a collaboration between Mowi Italia and Art&Food Group, a dining and events company. The partnership brought the high-quality taste of Norwegian fjords to Venice, where MOWI Professional pre-sliced smoked salmon fillet was featured in exclusive menu offerings.

Two signature dishes were created for the event: a smoked salmon salad with mixed greens, carrots, corn, olives, boiled egg, and smoked salmon, and a smoked salmon sandwich with eggs and salad. These dishes ensured that visitors could not only experience the art of Venice but also indulge in the superior flavour of our salmon.

The inclusion of MOWI salmon at such a high-profile cultural event underscores its commitment to quality, providing chefs with premium ingredients and offering guests a memorable dining experience. The partnership between MOWI and the Venice Biennale highlights the natural excellence of our salmon and its growing presence in the global culinary scene.

MOWI Supreme Salmon at the Venice Biennale

MOWI PURE Salmon – a hit with children in Japan Mowi Japan took part in the 'Marine Science Project 2024,' held in Harajuku in July, aiming to raise awareness among children about marine environmental issues while introducing them to MOWI PURE Salmon. The event, organized by Green Bird, a non-profit organisation known for its litter-picking activities across Japan, provided a fun, educational platform for children to learn about marine ecosystems through workshops, guest talks, and upcycling activities.

Over the course of the two-day event, around 3,000 visitors attended, with 540 participating in the workshops. As part of the event, Mowi Japan exclusively offered MOWI PURE Salmon sushi and launched its new product MOWI GOURMET Series 'Salmon Keema Curry'.

The MOWI PURE Salmon sushi was particularly popular with the children, many of whom returned multiple times to enjoy more servings. Parents expressed surprise that their children, who typically avoid seafood, found the sushi so appealing.

This event not only helped increase awareness about marine conservation but also allowed attendees to experience the highquality taste of MOWI products first hand. It was a successful platform to promote both the sustainability of Mowi's practices and the exceptional flavour of its salmon

All-time high 2025 volume guidance for Mowi

Mowi's harvest volume guidance for 2024 is maintained at alltime high 500k GWT. For 2025, Mowi guides on a new milestone of 520k GWT. As recently as 2018, harvest volumes were 375k tonnes. Thus, the 2025 guidance represents a growth of 145k tonnes, equivalent to 4.8% CAGR since 2018 vs. 2.7% projected CAGR for the industry. Furthermore, Mowi has a track record of delivering on guidance with 0% average deviation in the last five years vs. -8% average deviation (i.e. below guidance) for our listed peers. Beat ratio for Mowi is 60% in the last five years vs. as low as 5% for our listed peers.

Mowi Capital Markets Day 2024

On 26 September, Mowi hosted a Capital Markets Day where the company presented its plans for continued volume growth from 500,000 tonnes to 600,000 tonnes in its farming division. Farming growth will in turn lead to growth in Consumer Products and Feed, and the company estimates revenue growth of 7-8% per year over the next five years. Furthermore, Mowi laid out plans for further cost improvement in the order of EUR 300-400 million through a series of new measures, including postsmolt, the Mowi 4.0 digitalisation and automation programme, the cost improvement programme and the productivity programme.

For the material from the Capital Markets Day, including the webcast and slides, please see www.mowi.com/investors/ presentations or the QR code below.

First postsmolts transferred from Loch Etive in Scotland

The first transfer of postsmolts from Loch Etive at the end of September marks a significant milestone for Mowi Scotland. Having been granted permissions to grow postsmolt salmon in Loch Etive in late 2023, the first postsmolts have been transferred to an ordinary marine site. The postsmolt salmon were in excellent condition.

Sea lice do not flourish in Loch Etive's naturally brackish, low salinity waters. Mowi's new production plan for production in Loch Etive includes six-month growth cycles to enable farms to synchronise fallow periods throughout the whole loch system. This break in production combined with the brackish waters has helped to maintain a low sea lice population in Loch Etive.

Ole-Eirik Lerøy steps down as Chair of the Board Ole-Eirik Lerøy has decided to step down as Chair of the Board of Mowi following a fifteen-year tenure with the company. During Mr. Lerøy's tenure, the company has developed into a leading, fully integrated global seafood company with a solid position as the world's largest producer of Atlantic salmon. The Nomination Committee proposes that Ørjan Svanevik is elected new Chair of the Board at an Extraordinary General Meeting which will be held on 19 November. Mr. Svanevik holds the position as Investment Director at Seatankers and has extensive experience from various management positions as well as Board positions in listed companies. Mr. Svanevik was a member of the Board of Mowi 2014-2017.

Streamlining in Mowi Belgium

Mowi Belgium operates two production plants, one in Bruges and one in Ostend. The salmon smokehouse in Ostend has been active for 100 years producing a range of high-quality smoked salmon products, and is renowned for its long tradition of craftsmanship and high standards. In order to maintain the sustainability of the smokehouse operations in Belgium and to improve productivity and meet increasingly stringent requirements of customers, audits and legislation, Mowi Belgium has transferred a number of production lines to a new facility at the Bruges plant. These lines have also been further automated, in accordance with Mowi Consumer Products' strategy of factory optimisation. In August, production at these lines commenced, and employees who moved from Ostend to Bruges were welcomed.

Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries initiates assessment of fish quality regulations In March, the European Commission officially registered Norway's export ban on production grade salmon as a potential trade barrier.

Current export restrictions on production grade salmon are covered by fish quality regulations. The Norwegian Ministry of Trade, Industry and Fisheries has requested the Norwegian Food Safety Authority to perform an assessment of the fish quality regulations. The deadline for the assessment was 1 November, and subsequent to this, the Ministry will perform a review and consider if there is a need for initiating regulatory changes. While it is not clear what is the background for initiating this assessment, Mowi would welcome changes in the regulations enabling upgrading of production grade salmon to be performed also outside Norway, closer to the end markets for salmon products, and will continue to advocate for such changes.

Strong results in Chilean salmon industry inspections More than half of the 3,631 inspections made by Chile's environment supervisory authority in 2023 were carried out on salmon farms, according to the industry association SalmonChile. Above 98% concluded without any disciplinary proceedings. This means that salmon farming registered a very high degree of compliance with environmental regulations. Furthermore, in the last three years, SMA inspections have increased by 56% compared to the previous period, indicating a strict follow-up regime by Chilean authorities when it comes to salmon farming.

Mowi nominated in the Stockman Award 2024

In September, Mowi was awarded a 4th place in the Stockman Award 2024 Open Class. The Stockman Award is a recognition granted by the Norwegian Financial Analysts' Association to listed companies in Norway. Mowi was praised for having clear financial targets and dividend policy, being clear on strategy and market information, and having high quality and robust financial disclosure.

Dividends

The Board of Directors has decided to pay out NOK 1.50 per share in dividend for the third quarter.

Outlook statement from the Board of Directors

Mowi generated record-high revenue of EUR 1.44 billion in the third quarter which translated into an Operational EBIT of EUR 173 million. Earnings were lower year-on-year as the effects of all-time high harvest volumes of 161k GWT and stable costs were offset by lower prices. Realised cost improved from Q1 and Q2 on lower feed prices and strong volumes, partly offset by increased biological cost. Prices on the other hand were negatively impacted by high seasonal industry supply and temporary lower demand in the US. Consumer Products had its best ever result on good operational performance. Results in Feed were also all-time high supported by record-high feed volumes on increased demand from the farming segment.

Mowi hosted its Capital Markets Day ("CMD") on 26 September 2024 where the company provided an update on its three strategic pillars; volume growth, cost improvements and sustainability including fish welfare. On volume growth the company has grown from producing 375k GWT of salmon in 2018 to an expected 500k GWT in 2024 which is considerably above industry growth. Mowi's goal is to continue outgrowing the market, and by releasing more smolts and increasing our use of postsmolt we are targeting harvest volumes of 600k GWT of salmon in 2029. Continued growth in Mowi's farming operations will in turn lead to growth in its two other divisions being Consumer Products and Feed. On the back of this growth throughout the value chain the company is targeting revenue growth of 7-8% per year over the next five years, resulting in revenue of EUR 8.5 billion in 2029, compared with EUR 5.5 billion in 2023.

Mowi's focus has been and will continue to be sea-based salmon farming and related technology. The company is nonetheless closely observing developments in other technologies and is prepared to adopt new technologies as and when the time is right and they show themselves to be profitable. Mowi is also looking to grow through selective acquisitions, provided they fit into the company's operational strategy.

On cost, Mowi is the best or second best in all the regions where we farm salmon, and we are also ahead in our downstream operations. The Board acknowledges that in a world where input costs are always increasing further cost improvements are vitally important. Mowi therefore plans to strengthen its cost position through a series of new measures, both biologically and more general, through which we aim to improve by EUR 300-400 million in the next five years.

In addition to the company's postsmolt venture and the improvements in biological performance that it brings, Mowi's digitalisation and automation strategy is also central to the company's plans. The company launched Mowi 4.0 in 2021 and since then have invested heavily in a range of measures to introduce greater efficiency and automation across our value chain. We are already seeing the positive impact this has had on sustainability, productivity and cost reduction, and the Board expects to reap further benefits in the years to come.

The third and final pillar of Mowi's strategy is sustainability including fish welfare, and the Board is proud of the many sustainability awards the company has recognised over the In the quarter, Mowi experienced the best ever seawater production and harvest volumes. Biomass in sea at quarter end was at a record-high level and up 4.4% year-on-year. This supports Mowi's milestone volume guidance in 2025 of 520k tonnes.

Realised blended farming cost improved from Q1 and Q2, and reached EUR 5.72 per kg in Q3 which represented an improvement by EUR 0.12 per kg from EUR 5.84 per kg in Q2. Costs were reduced on lower feed prices and strong volumes, partly offset by increased biological cost in Norway. Record-high sea temperatures from central Norway northwards contributed to seasonal lice and gill issues compounded by record high sea temperatures. The situation has improved going into the fourth quarter on lower sea temperatures. Realised group blended farming cost in Q4 is therefore expected to be on par with, or lower than, that of third quarter dependant on biological cost. Further on that note, feed prices continued down on lower raw material prices including fish oil and fish meal. The Peruvian authorities announced that the second pelagic fishing season commenced on 1 November with a quota of 2.5 million tonnes, above market expectations, which is also supportive of a continued normalisation of prices for marine ingredients.

Consumer Products delivered record-high results in the third quarter on good operational performance, strong volumes and seasonally lower raw material prices contributed positively. Despite margin pressure in Europe, Mowi expects continued good underlying demand and prices in Europe as retail demand in all key European markets continued to develop favourably during the quarter. Margin development in the US was positive as raw material prices were falling and Mowi's volumes for skinpacked products continued to improve year-on-year. Earnings in our Asian operations reached a new record level on good volume development and strong operational performance.

Feed delivered the best quarterly result ever, on all-time high earnings and record-high volumes. The positive volume development was driven by good seawater growth and demand from Farming. Market prices for feed continued to decrease in the third quarter linked to the development in raw material prices.

According to Mowi's estimates global industry supply growth for 2025 is expected to be around 2% which is supportive of a continued good supply/demand balance.

The Board has decided to distribute NOK 1.50 per share for the third quarter.

SELECTED NOTES TO THE INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

Mowi (the Group) consists of Mowi ASA and its subsidiaries, including the Group's interests in associated companies.

These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). The interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) for a complete set of financial statements, and these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements. The interim report is unaudited.

Note 2 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

All significant accounting principles applied in the consolidated financial statements are described in the Annual Report for 2023 (as published on the Oslo Stock Exchange on March 20, 2024). No new standards have been applied in 2024.

Significant fair value measurements in accordance with IFRS 13:

Biological assets

Biological assets are, in accordance with IAS 41, measured at fair value, unless the fair value cannot be measured reliably. Broodstock and smolt are measured at cost less impairment losses, as the fair value cannot be measured reliably. Fair value of biological assets is calculated based on a cash flow-based present value model, which does not rely on historical cost. Cash inflows are calculated as functions of estimated volume multiplied with estimated price. Fish ready for harvest (mature fish) is valued at expected sales price with a deduction of cost related to harvest, transport etc. Sales costs are not deducted. For fish not ready for harvest (immature fish), the model uses an interpolation methodology where the known data points are the value of the fish when put to sea and when recognised as mature fish.

In accordance with IAS 41.16, a provision for onerous contracts is recorded by assessing if there are contracts in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the Group's obligations under the contract (where fair value adjustment of biological assets is included in the unavoidable costs) exceed the economic benefits expected to be received.

Note 3 ESTIMATES AND RISK EXPOSURE

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The most significant estimates relate to the valuation of biological assets and intangible assets. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and are based on the management's best assessment at the time of reporting. All changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they occur.

Mowi is exposed to a number of risk factors: Operational risks, strategic risk, reporting risk and compliance risk. The Risk Management section in the Annual Report contains a detailed description of risks and mitigation actions.

Note 4 BUSINESS SEGMENTS

For management purposes, Mowi is organized into three Business Areas: Feed, Farming and Sales & Marketing. Feed and Farming are separate reportable segments. Sales & Marketing is divided in two reportable segments, Markets and Consumer Products.

The performance of the segments is monitored to reach the overall objective of maximizing the Operational EBIT per kg. Consequently, reporting is focused towards measuring and illustrating the overall profitability of harvested volume based on source of origin (Operational EBIT/kg).

The same accounting principles as described for the Group financial statements have been applied for the segment reporting. Intersegment transfers or transactions are entered into under normal commercial terms and conditions, and the measurement used in the segment reporting is the same as used for the actual transactions.

Unrealised internal margin from sale of fish feed from Feed to Farming is eliminated in the Group financial statements until the fish that consumed the feed is sold. In the segment reporting the internal profit is included for Business Area Feed.
