Austevoll Seafood Group's financial statements are prepared in accordance with international standards for financial reporting (IFRS) and interpretations established by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and adopted by the EU. In addition, the Board and management have chosen to present certain alternative performance measures to aid understanding of the Group's development. The Board and management are of the opinion that these performance measures are sought and utilised by investors, analysts, credit institutions and other stakeholders. The alternative performance measures are derived from the performance measures defined in IFRS. The figures are defined below. They are calculated consistently and presented in addition to other performance measures, in line with the Guidelines for Alternative Performance Measures from the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA).
EBITDA (adj.) and EBIT (adj.) are two alternative performance measures used by the Group that are commonly used within aquaculture. In order to provide the information required by management, investors and analysts regarding performance and industry comparability, the Group has now implemented the two specified alternative performance measures. These replace the previous alternative performance measures operating profit/loss before fair value adjustments related to biological assets and operating profit/loss before depreciation and fair value adjustments related to biological assets.
Certain items have been excluded from EBITDA (adj.) and EBIT (adj.). The most significant of these items is fair value adjustment related to biological assets. This is excluded because it has nothing to do with the Group's operating performance. The change in fair value derives from changes in forward prices for salmon, published by Fish Pool. Another item excluded is provision for onerous contracts. This item is indirectly related to biological assets, as the loss is calculated based on the increased value of fish in the sea as a result of fair value adjustment. Production fees on the harvest volume of salmon and trout, which were introduced in 2021, are also excluded.
This is because production fees are tax-related. Production fees were introduced as an alternative to resource rent tax. Also excluded are one-off events not expected to happen again, such as settlement costs. These types of costs are not considered relevant to the current operating activity and hence not relevant to persons wanting to analyse operating profit in the period. Finally, unrealised internal gains associated with inventories are also excluded. Feedback from investors and analysts suggests that this accrual item has interfered with evaluation of operating profit for the period. Since this item is insignificant to profit for the period, it has been excluded from the two alternative performance measures.
The Group has investments in joint ventures and associates that are significant enterprises in their segments and represent substantial values for Austevoll Seafood ASA. Revenue from joint ventures and associates is therefore shown in a separate line and included in EBIT (adj.) incl. income from associates.

On 31 May 2023, the Norwegian parliament approved an additional resource rent tax on aquaculture with a tax rate of 25%.
The tax scheme applies to net profits from commercial sea-phase salmon aquaculture activity and is an additional layer for taxation on aquaculture.
The resource rent tax is in addition to the regular corporate tax of 22%, and gives a total tax rate on aquaculture of 47%.
This new tax scheme was implemented retrospectively with effect from 1 January 2023.

Tax expense (-)/tax income (+)
From 1 January 2024 , the production fee per kg of farmed Atlantic salmon in Norway is NOK 0.935/kg.
Furthermore, as of 1 January 2023, the production fee is no longer deductible for the purpose of calculating ordinary corporate income tax in Norway.
The fee is, however, deductible for the purpose of calculating the Norwegian resource rent tax payable.
