CORPORATE PROFILE

AS PRFoods ("Group") is a company engaged in fish farming, processing, and sales. The Group's shares are listed on the main list of NASDAQ OMX Tallinn Stock Exchange since 5 May 2010 and its bonds are listed on the NASDAQ Tallinn bond list since 6 April 2020.

Main activities of the Group are manufacturing and sale of fish products. The main products are salmon and rainbow trout products. The raw fish is purchased from Estonia, Norway and Denmark. Fish products are manufactured in two modern factories in Saaremaa (Estonia) and in Aberdeen (Great Britain).

Products of the Group are sold as leading brands in their respective operating market and the primary focus is on higher value-added premium products, increasing thereby the profitability of the company.

We process mostly rainbow trout and salmon in our factories, in smaller quantities also whitefish, perch, pikeperch, vendace, Atlantic and Baltic herrings. We always keep the fish in a place of honour, which is why we smoke it with alder chips in the traditional way. As our product range is quite wide, a favourite product can be found for the whole family – lightly salted trout slices that have won the title of the Best Fish Product in Estonia, children's favourite trout cutlets or trout roe for a more festive occasion.

The Group is actively involved in developing new products for expanding also to new export markets.

MANAGEMENT REPORT

OVERVIEW OF ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES

MANAGEMENT COMMENTARY

PRFoods' new financial year began with better results than the previous year. The first quarter is traditionally one of the more seasonally quiet periods in our field. Nevertheless, the first quarter's revenue reached 4.6 million euros, which is a 35.3% increase compared to the same time last year. The most significant sales growth was observed in Estonia, where revenue increased by 207.1%, reaching 1.5 million euros. Moderate growth was also seen in the UK market, where revenue rose by 6.4%, totalling 3.1 million euros.

EBITDA from operating activities turned positive, amounting to 0.1 million euros, compared to -0.5 million euros in the same quarter last year. The net loss for the first quarter of this financial year decreased by 0.4 million euros, amounting to 0.3 million euros compared to 0.7 million euros the previous year.

In challenging and volatile times, we must acknowledge that every improvement in efficiency metrics is a significant achievement for us. This confirms that the direction chosen to improve the company's profitability is the right one. These positive changes, in turn, have a favourable impact on the well-being of the company, its investors, and the group's employees.

High inflation and changes in consumer behaviour affect all food producers. In the organization of work at our Estonian production unit and the portfolio of products we offer, we need to find innovative solutions to provide consumers with quality fish products in suitable forms and at competitive prices. The VAT increase set to take effect at the beginning of the new calendar year will undoubtedly impact all Estonian producers and consumers.

Currently, we see that retail prices for fish products have stabilized or decreased, and we anticipate strong demand during the Christmas season. Stability, both in revenue and operations, is more important than volatility. Today's foundation is much stronger than in previous years. While we are smaller, we are also more efficient. However, there is still much work ahead to achieve the desired success.

The Management Board continues to work on mapping out restructuring options for PRFoods' debt obligations and preparing a corresponding proposal.

Sincerely,

Timo Pärn Member of the Management Board

Kristjan Kotkas Member of the Management Board

PRICE OF FISH

The fish production industry is extremely dependent on availability and the price of raw fish. Large producers make their production plans for three years in advance as it is difficult and expensive in shorter perspective to adapt a fish farm's production cycle to market needs. Therefore, the world market fish supply is rigid in the short-term, while demand is somewhat shifting depending on the season. This imbalance in fish supply and demand results in constantly fluctuating price of raw fish. Moreover, the far-reaching change in supply chains during the past month in connection with the spread of the virus has increased the amplitude and unpredictability of prices. The Group counters the impact of external environment and volatility of fish price through the changes of the Group's production and sales strategy.

NOTE 11. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Group's segments are defined based on the reports monitored and analysed by the parent company's management board.

  • Estonia
  • United Kingdom
  • Central Activities

The Estonia business segment involves the production of trout products and, until 30.11.2023, the operation of rainbow trout farms in Estonia, which ceased with the sale of Redstorm OÜ on 30.11.2023. This segment includes the Group's production company, Saare Kala Tootmine OÜ, and Redstorm OÜ (until 30.11.2023).

The United Kingdom business segment includes the production of salmon products. This segment consists of the Group's production companies, John Ross Jr (Aberdeen) Ltd and Coln Valley Smokery Ltd, as well as the UK fish company holding firm JRJ & PRF Ltd.

The Central Activities segment is reported separately and does not form a distinct business area. It includes the parent company, AS PRFoods, and the Group's fish company holding firm, Saaremere Kala AS. Central activities mainly encompass the Group's financial support activities.

Changes in the Supervisory Board and Audit Committee of the PRFoods Group

In a stock exchange announcement published on 16.10.2024, AS PRFoods reported that Aavo Kokk submitted his resignation as a member of the Supervisory Board of AS PRFoods, effective 21.10.2024. Additionally, Aavo Kokk stepped down from his position as the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

Transaction with a Related Party

On 13.11.2024, PRFoods' subsidiary, Saaremere Kala AS, its subsidiary Saare Kala Tootmine OÜ, and PRFoods' shareholder, Amber Trust II S.C.A., entered into a loan agreement. Under this agreement, Amber Trust II S.C.A. will provide Saaremere Kala AS with a loan of up to 550 thousand euros at an annual interest rate of 8%. The repayment schedule stipulates that 50% of the loan amount used must be repaid by 28.02.2025, and the remaining 50% by 31.07.2025. Since 400 thousand euros of the loan is intended to finance the business operations of Saare Kala Tootmine OÜ, Saare Kala Tootmine OÜ will be jointly and severally liable with Saaremere Kala AS for the repayment of the loan to that extent.

The purpose of the loan is to finance the business operations of Saaremere Kala AS and Saare Kala Tootmine OÜ. The transaction arises from the need to improve the liquidity position of PRFoods Group and the difficulty in securing alternative financing sources. By improving liquidity across the Group's companies, the loan also supports PRFoods' debt restructuring plan.

To secure the obligations arising from this loan agreement, the following collateral has been provided in favour of the lender:

    1. Saaremere Kala AS, as the assignor, has assigned receivables from the instalment payment agreement signed on 1.12.2023, and its addendum on 6.12.2023, between Saaremere Kala AS as the seller and OÜ Saare Fishexport as the buyer. The total receivables amount to 405 thousand euros, payable in two instalments of 155 thousand euros and 250 thousand euros, due on 10.01.2025, and 10.01.2026, respectively; and
    1. PRFoods, as the pledger, has pledged its shares in AS TFTAK (registration code 11930972) to the lender under a pledge agreement signed on 13.11.2024.

This financing serves as bridge financing until the receivables described in point 1 become due. Saaremere Kala AS intends to use the sums received under these receivables, as well as other funds generated through business operations, to fulfil the obligations arising from the loan.
