Highlights Q1 2024

  • Operating revenues of EUR 1.33 billion. Operational EBIT of EUR 201 million
  • Challenging quarter for Farming Norway due to winter sores and downgrades, significantly compounded by string jellyfish and an unusually cold winter
  • Strong biological performance in our six farming countries outside Norway
  • Strong demand and prices in Europe, whilst prices in Americas on the soft side
  • Realised farming cost of EUR 6.05 per kg negatively impacted by seasonally low volumes and low dilution of cost, in addition to winter sores in Norway
    • Expect a lower cost level in H2 due to improved biology in Norway in Q2, lower feed prices and scale
    • Cost expected to be stable in Q2 due to seasonally low volumes and knock-on effects of winter sores in Mowi Norway
  • Although gradually diminishing, weakening of the NOK last year hit earnings by EUR 10 million in the quarter
  • Harvested 96.5k GWT in the quarter, harvest volumes of record-high 500k GWT for 2024 maintained
    • Supported by seasonally record-high biomass in sea end of Q1
  • Feed and Consumer Products with a good operational quarter, however, impacted by seasonality and a slower market in the US
  • Quarterly dividend of NOK 1.50 per share

Salmon prices – weekly reference prices

  • Two-way division of European and American prices continued in the quarter
  • Record high European spot prices on strong demand and low supply
  • Prices in Americas on the soft side partly due to temporarily lower demand

Ref. price North America, West Coast USD (UB avg. superior GWE 10-12 lbs FOB Seattle), RHS

Price achievement and contract share

• Global supply relatively stable adjusted for inventory movements

  • Norway: Winter sore issues and unprecedented string jellyfish issues. Unusually cold winter
  • Scotland: Volume growth as expected driven by seasonally higher survival rates
  • Chile: Reduced volumes as expected on lower biomass. Stable biological developments

  • 2024 volume guidance of record-high 500,000 tonnes maintained
    • Supported by seasonal record-high biomass in sea end of Q1

Volume growth of 125,000 GWT over 6 years to all-time high 500,000 GWT for 2024E (CAGR 4.9%)

  • 2024e a continuation of our growth trajectory
    • Equivalent to 4.9% CAGR vs industry at 2.7% since 2018
    • In practice organic growth

Postsmolt to give further organic growth and improve biological metrics ~40 million postsmolt by end of 2024 (25% coverage / Norway 50% excl. Region North)

Outlook

  • Biology improved for Mowi Norway in Q2, and prospects of lower feed prices
    • Expecting a lower cost level for Mowi Farming in H2
    • However, Q2 to be impacted by seasonally low volumes and knock-on effects of winter sores in Norway
  • Continue to see strong demand and strong prices for European salmon, whilst the market for American salmon currently a bit sluggish
    • Expect a recovery of US prices in due course
  • Supportive supply side with approx. no growth in 2024, and limited growth in the coming years
  • Mowi harvest volume guidance maintained at 500k GWT, 5.3% growth year-over-year
    • Supported by seasonal record-high biomass in sea end of Q1

Dividend policy

  • Mowi's ambition is to create long-term value for the shareholder through both positive share price development and a growing dividend in line with long-term earnings
    • − Quarterly ordinary dividend shall under normal circumstances be at least 50% of underlying earnings per share (EPS)
    • − Excess capital will be paid out as extraordinary dividends
  • When deciding excess capital the Board of Directors will take into consideration expected cash flow, capital expenditure plans, financing requirements and appropriate financial flexibility. Further to this a long-term target level for net interest-bearing debt is determined, reviewed and updated on a regular basis
  • Shareholder returns are distributed primarily as cash dividends with the option of using share buybacks as a complementary supplement on an ad-hoc basis

Resource rent tax in Norway with effect from 2023

  • Estimate for effective resource rent tax rate of about 10% for Mowi Norway across the valuechain
    • Earnings in the seawater phase subject to 25% resource rent tax in addition to 22% corporate tax
    • However, Mowi has the most diverse value-chain in the industry where a significant part is not subject to the resource rent tax (out of scope)
      • o Subject to ordinary 22% corporate tax only
    • Estimate is still preliminary and subject to material uncertainty
