Business and Strategy update

Capital Markets Day 2024

Ivan Vindheim CEO

Mowi in brief

One of the world's leading seafood companies
(#1 measured by market capitalisation)

#1 on sustainability (Coller FAIRR)

The world's largest producer of Atlantic salmon, 500,000 GWT in 2024E (~2.9 billion meals per year)

Fully integrated value chain Listed on Oslo Stock Exchange HQ in Bergen, Norway

Revenue and other income (EUR bn) Harvest volume Atlantic Salmon (kGWT) Operational EBIT (EURm)

Mowi – Leading the Blue Revolution

Fully integrated value chain

Feed production of 528,000 tonnes in 2023 – Self-sufficient in Europe

Farming harvest volumes of 500,000 GWT in 2024E

Harvest volumes in GWT

Sales & Marketing – Consumer Products volumes of 232,000 tonnes in 2023

Atlantic salmon is a fantastic product with great product features

  • Scientifically proven natural superfood
    • Nutritionally dense and great for one's health (omega-3, protein, vitamins, potassium, antioxidants)
  • Top appetising taste, look, texture and colour
  • Versatile for traditional and evolving food occasions
    • Raw, grilled, cooked and smoked
  • Appealing to people of all ages
    • Addressing health needs of the elderly but equally attractive to youngsters
  • Most sustainably produced animal protein
    • With the best climate footprint and top sustainability performance vs. all other animal proteins

And the beneficiary of strong megatrends

Structural undersupply is expected to continue in the coming years

Mowi is working along three main pillars

Page 15

Farming volume growth of 100,000 GWT in the coming 5 years to all-time high 600,000 GWT

  • Farming volumes the mainstay of Mowi's business model
  • Strong volume growth of 125k GWT, from 375k GWT to 500k GWT for Mowi globally over the last 6 years
    • This growth alone equivalent to the world's 6th largest salmon farming company including Mowi
    • 4.9% CAGR vs industry at 2.7%
    • In practise organic growth
  • Aiming at 540k GWT in 2026 and 600k GWT in 2029
    • Organic growth of 100k GWT
  • Capex approximately EUR 600 million

Which translates into an organic revenue growth of 7-8% annually until 2029

  • 2023-2029F: Topline CAGR 7-8% pa
    • Farming volume CAGR 4.0% pa (475k GWT 2023 to 600k GWT 2029F)
    • Product enhancement, branding, inflation CAGR 3-4%
  • 2018-2023: Topline CAGR 7.6% pa
    • Farming volume CAGR 4.8% pa (375k GWT 2018 to 475k GWT 2023)
    • Other CAGR 2.8%

How to deliver on this organic growth?

Increased smolt stocking on unutilised licenses and increased productivity by postsmolt on utilised licenses (~40 million postsmolt by end of 2024 / 25% coverage / Norway 50% ex RN)

Productivity programme revived farming volume growth

From lagging behind to being ahead – farming volume growth vs listed peers

Mowi Farming volumes versus indexed listed peers since 2018

Has made Mowi #1 CAGR EPS and organic farming volume growth last 5 years But negatively impacted by increased taxes, doubling of feed prices, loss of 20k GWT in BC, FX

Improve our cost-leading position in the seven countries where we operate

  • Mowi #1 or #2 on cost in every farming country
  • Biology and operational performance the main cost drivers
    • Postsmolt a key contributor going forward through improved biological metrics
  • However, cost-cutting initiatives are important, including FTEs
    • EUR 307 million since 2018
    • And FTEs down by 1,500

Note: OP EBIT/kg all-inclusive 2018-2023. Industry average excluding Mowi. "Other" includes Mowi Ireland and Arctic Fish versus Icelandic peers

And further develop our position as one of the world's most sustainable animal protein producer

Biological turnaround of Scotland I: Postsmolt (Loch Etive) and Large Smolt (Loch Awe) >50% coverage

  • Increasingly challenging environmental conditions call for more robust salmon and shorter production cycle
  • Thus, acquired the Dawnfresh bankruptcy estate's trout sites in 2023 as a move into postsmolt farming
    • Loch Etive the largest brackish-water loch in Scotland and particularly well suited for postsmolt farming
  • Postsmolt production commenced in February
  • Annual postsmolt production of ~7 million (approx. 30% coverage)
  • Application to convert trout to salmon smolt in Loch Awe - potentially 5 million large smolts (>50% postsmolt and large smolt coverage)
  • Lower capital expenditure than a land-based postsmolt facility, shorter realisation time and lower running production cost

Loch Etive, Scotland

Biological turnaround of Scotland II: 100% self-sufficient for eggs

  • Another important part of Mowi Scotland's biological turnaround plan is to become selfsufficient in eggs as restricted supply of poor-quality Ova is having a clear detrimental impact on much of the Scottish Industry
  • Mowi nucleolus breeding individuals segregated in production
  • Started construction of a brand new bespoke broodstock and egg facility at Ardessie, Northern Scotland
  • Ensures Mowi Scotland will be 100% self-sufficient with ova (eggs) → better SW growth and survival rates
  • To be completed in 2025 with annual production capacity of 40 million Mowi salmon eggs
  • Creates strong ova supply base for Scotland and Ireland

Construction has commenced (above). Groundworks (below). Ardessie, Scotland.

Cost reduction and cost control

  • Continuation of the fewer and larger pen strategy move from 120 metre pens to 160/200 metre pens has been ongoing since 2020 and is progressing (approx. 50% completed)
  • Right-sizing ongoing with FTE reduction from 900 (post acquisitions) to 760 FTE
  • Optimise well-boat and harvest vessel capacity
  • Achieve cost savings on special feed types related to organic salmon and branded products

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- 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 ( 0 ) and Mowi's own data; complete production cycle (freshwater + seawater)

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