The performance related to the Faroe Islands and Scotland as a region can be found in the Appendix.
The long-term goal of the Board of Directors is that 30-50% of earnings per share shall be paid out as a dividend. Bakkafrost's financial position is strong, with a solid balance sheet, a competitive operation, and available credit facilities.
The supply of salmon increased 4.9% in Q3 2024 compared to Q3 2023, incl. inventory movements. Without inventory movements, the supply increase was 4.7%, according to the latest estimate from Kontali Analyse.
Salmon reference prices (Sisalmoni/Nasdaq Norway, EUR) were 12% lower this quarter compared to Q3 2023. The price reduction was largely driven by increased supply, especially from Europe where supply increased by around 9%. A high share of European supply was small sized fish supporting the price premium for large fish.
The global supply is expected to increase around 3% in Q4 2024, compared to Q4 2023. In H2 2024, the global supply is expected to grow around 4%, compared to Q3 2023. For the full year 2024, the global supply is expected grow around 1%, excluding inventory movements, and in H1 2025 the global supply growth is expected to be around 3%.
Bakkafrost has a strong focus on ensuring a well-balanced flow to the different markets to increase diversification and mitigate market risk. Bakkafrost operates in the main salmon markets, Europe, the USA, and the Far East. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Bakkafrost has stopped all trading with Russia.
The biological performance in Q3 2024 in the Faroese farming operation was strong with good growth, continued high harvest weights and continued strong control of sea lice. However, in August Bakkafrost harvested out the remaining fish from the farming site A-19, where ISA virus had been detected in Q2 2024 in two pens. This was done to comply with the Faroese ISA regulation and marked the end of the ISA incident, which was effectively contained and did not spread outside the two pens. As 2.9 thousand tonnes were harvested from the site with an average weight of only 3.3 kg (HOG), this had a significant negative impact on the Q3 results for the Faroese farming segment.
Having a strong biological performance with a lot of healthy large fish in the water, Bakkafrost will seek to maximise the market value of the fish. Hence, the harvest target for 2024 of 63,500 tonnes in the Faroe Islands is maintained, in favour of expected stronger salmon prices in Q1 2025.
In the Faroese freshwater operation, the main focus for Bakkafrost is to continue to increase the production volume of high-quality large smolt, utilising the >50% increased hatchery capacity obtained in 2023 (Glyvradalur and Norðtoftir). The current hatchery capacity in the Faroes allows for an annual smolt production of 18 million smolt of 500g and in Q1 2024, Bakkafrost started the construction of the new hatchery in Skálavík, Faroe IsIands, which will further increase the production capacity by around 7 million smolt at 500g. Late 2026, when the Skálavík hatchery is complete, the annual smolt production capacity in the Faroe Islands will be 24 million smolts of 500g, as targeted in the 2024-2028 investment programme. In Q3 2024 5.2 million (3.3 million) smolt were transferred to marine in Faroe Islands with an average weight of 425g (405g).
The farming operation in Scotland has performed considerably better in Q3 2024, than during the same period past years. Mortality levels have reduced, sea lice levels were all-time low and average harvest weights have increased. Though some challenges have been faced, the de-risking strategy Bakkafrost developed one year ago, has significantly contributed to improved biological performance and reduced overall risk exposure. Consequently, the exceptional mortality costs have reduced around 80% in Q3 2024, compared to Q3 2023. Looking ahead into Q4 2024, Bakkafrost will focus on building up the biomass and increase the size of fish in the water for harvest in H1 2025. In 2025, Bakkafrost will apply a similar de-risking strategy as followed in 2024. In the meantime, in 2025, the farming operation will undergo the transition into using large highquality smolt, which is paramount to turnaround the performance in the Scottish farming operation.

In the Scottish freshwater operation, the main focus lies on ramping up the production of large high-quality smolt in the Applecross hatchery. In Q4 2024, the first large batch of 200g smolt is planned to be transferred, and all smolt in 2025 are planned to be larger than 200g. The operation of the new Applecross phase 5 module will commence in Q4 2024 which increases the hatchery capacity with around 50%. This enables Applecross to produce around 3,500 tonnes of smolt. As announced in Bakkafrost's Q2 2024, this capacity will be utilised to make Bakkafrost self-sufficient with around 14 million high-quality smolt of 250g.
With the completion of the Applecross phase 6 and 7 in 2025, the biosecurity in the smolt production will be further improved.
In Q3 2024, the average weight of transferred smolt in Scotland was 86g, which is 23% lower than in Q3 2023. The reduced average weight was a result of the previously announced startup issues at Applecross, experienced in Q1 2024.
As shown in the Faroe Islands, large high-quality smolt will face lower risks in the marine environment because of shorter production cycles in the sea and more robust salmon.
Bakkafrost's expected smolt transfer in 2024 in the Faroe Islands is increased to around 17.7 million smolts with average weight of 410g. In Scotland, the smolt transfer in 2024 is expected to be around 6.2 million smolts with an average weight of 114g. The number and average weight of smolts transferred are key elements of predicting Bakkafrost's future production.
| Million smolt transferred |
'25e | '24e | '23 | '22 | '21 | '20 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FO | 18.5 | 17.7 | 14.4 | 14.5 | 14.4 | 14.3 |

| SCT | 200 | 140 | 117 | 107 | 95 | 88 |
In 2024, Bakkafrost expects to harvest around 63,500 tonnes gutted weight in the Faroe Islands and 26,100 tonnes gutted weight in Scotland, giving a total of around 89,600 tonnes gutted weight.
In 2025, Bakkafrost expects to harvest around 77,000 tonnes gutted weight in the Faroe Islands and 23,000 tonnes gutted weight in Scotland, giving a total of around 100,000 tonnes gutted weight. The quarterly harvest profile is outlined in in the table below. Biological, environmental and market conditions can affect the expected harvest profile.
Expected harvest profile in 2025 as a % of total harvest pr. region:
| Region | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FO | 24% | 21% | 31% | 24% |
| SCT | 33% | 36% | 9% | 22% |
The estimates for harvest volumes and smolt transfers in both geographies are dependent on biological development.
Bakkafrost's highly flexible value chain includes state-of-theart VAP processing capacity, which enables the company to adapt effectively to rapidly changing market situations.
As a result of changes in the Faroese revenue tax, Bakkafrost has adjusted the strategy for contracted VAP (Value-Added Products) to reduce contract exposure.
For 2025, Bakkafrost intends to sign contracts covering around 15% of the expected harvest volumes in the Faroe Islands and Scotland combined.
The outlook of fishmeal and fish oil production is dependent on the availability of raw materials.
The ICES 2025 recommendation for blue whiting is 1,447 thousand tonnes, which represents a 5.4% decrease from the recommendation for 2024.
In 2025 Bakkafrost expects similar production volumes of fishmeal and fish oil as in 2024.
Bakkafrost expects the feed production at Havsbrún to be around 150,000 tonnes in 2025. Close to all of this will be sold internally to Bakkafrost's Faroese and Scottish Farming segments.
On the Capital Markets Day on 6 June 2023, Bakkafrost announced a 6.3bn DKK investment plan for 2024-2028. The investments will enable a transformation of the operation in Scotland and provide sustainable growth in the Faroe Islands as well as Scotland.
The main purpose of the investments in Scotland is to replicate Bakkafrost's successful operation in the Faroe Islands. A part of this is to implement Bakkafrost's large smolt strategy in Scotland, which is achieved through building sufficient and energy-efficient hatchery capacity. The 2024-2028 investment plan includes projects to build hatchery capacity to produce above 15 million large smolts annually. Having large smolt in Scotland will transform the performance, lower the biological risk and increase harvest volumes. In addition to building hatchery capacity, Bakkafrost plans to strengthen the processing capabilities and increase flexibility in operation. Bakkafrost will also invest in more service vessel capacity to improve the mitigation of biological risk and improve the cost of operation. Further, Bakkafrost will make investments in marine site development.
The investments in the Faroe Islands include increasing annual hatchery production capacity to around 24 million smolts at 500g, cost-efficient repurposing of old hatcheries into broodstock operation, expansion of feed production capacity and obtaining growth through optimization of existing sites and new technology.
With the investment plan, Bakkafrost expects to sustainably grow the total annual harvest volumes to 165,000 tonnes in 2028. Over the same period, the total annual production capacity in Bakkafrost's value chain will reach 200,000 tonnes gutted weight.
2024-2028 6.3bn DKK Investment programme vs. 2022-2026 6.2bn DKK investment programme (DKK 1,000)


Since the announcement of the 2024-2028 investment plan, Bakkafrost has decided to change the priority of some of the investment projects in Scotland, including the second planned hatchery at Fairlie and new processing facility. Consequently, the capex spend is expected to reduce around 300 mDKK in 2024 around 500 mDKK in 2025, compared to the investment levels announced in the 2024- 2028 investment plan.
Bakkafrost will host the next Capital Markets Day on 16- 17 June 2025 in the Faroe Islands.
The global salmon product market's long-term balance is likely to favor Bakkafrost. Bakkafrost has a long value chain and a cost-efficient production of high-quality salmon products and will likely maintain financial flexibility going forward.
In March 2022, Bakkafrost secured a 700 mEUR sustainability-linked credit facility (expandable by 150 mEUR) with a 5-year term and 2-year extension options which have been executed. This facility, along with Bakkafrost's strong equity ratio, bolsters the Group's financial strength for organic growth and cost reduction in Scotland, while also facilitating M&A and future organic growth opportunities, and upholding an unchanged dividend policy.

Note 5.2 in Bakkafrost's Annual Report for 2023 provides detailed information on related parties' transactions.
Transactions between P/F Bakkafrost and its subsidiaries meet the definition of related party transactions. As these transactions are eliminated on consolidation, they are not disclosed as related party transactions.
As of 30 Sep 2024, the Group held the following classes of assets/liabilities measured at fair value:
| DKK 1,000 | Cost | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets and liabilities measured at fair value | Fair value | amount Lev. 1 Lev. 2 | Level 3 | ||
| Biological assets (biomass) | 2,601,564 | 2,589,751 | 0 | 0 | 2,601,564 |
| Assets measured at fair value 30/9-2024 | 2,601,564 | 2,589,751 | 0 | 0 | 2,601,564 |
| Liabilities measured at fair value 30/9-2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Biological assets (biomass) | 3,335,570 | 2,594,137 | 0 | 0 | 3,335,570 |
| Assets measured at fair value 31/12-2023 | 3,335,570 | 2,594,137 | 0 | 0 | 3,335,570 |
| Liabilities measured at fair value 31/12-2023 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
All assets/liabilities for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable).
Level 3: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable).
For biological assets, the fair value calculation uses a valuation model (level 3 in the valuation hierarchy) where the value is estimated based on observable market prices per period end.
For more information on these calculations, please refer to Note 4.
For assets/liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement).
There have been no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
There have not been any new business combinations in 2023, nor in 2024.
Net interest-bearing debt consists of both current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities, less related current and non-current hedging instruments, lease liabilities, financial instruments, such as debt instruments and derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. The net interest-bearing debt is a measure of the Group's net indebtedness that provides an indicator of the overall balance sheet strength. It is also a single measure that can be used to assess both the Group's cash position and its indebtedness. The use of the term net debt does not necessarily mean that the cash included in the net debt calculation is available to settle the liabilities included in this measure. Net debt is an alternative performance measure as it is not defined in IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is the aggregate interest-bearing liabilities (both current and non-current), derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. A reconciliation is provided below.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortizations (EBITDA) is a key financial parameter for Bakkafrost's FOF segment. EBITDA before other income and other expenses is defined as EBITDA less gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets and operations and is reconciled in the section Group overview. This measure is useful to users of Bakkafrost's financial information in evaluating operating profitability on a more variable cost basis as it excludes depreciation and amortization expenses related primarily to capital expenditures and acquisitions, which occurred in the past, nonrecurring items, as well as evaluating operating performance in relation to Bakkafrost's FOF segment's competitors. The EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA before other income and other expenses divided by total revenues.
Return on average capital employed (ROCE) is the period's operational EBIT divided by the average capital employed, which is total assets adjusted for total current liabilities. The performance measure is expressed as a percentage and is useful for evaluating Bakkafrost's profitability.
