Operational EBIT and operational EBITDA are 2 APMs utilised by the Group, which are commonly used in the farming industry. In order to meet managements, investors and analysts need of information in terms of performance and comparability between peers, these APMs have now been adopted by the group. They replace the previously used APMs EBIT before fair value adjustments related to biological assets and EBITDA before fair value adjustments related to biological assets.
In operational EBIT and operational EBITDA some items are excluded. The main item excluded is fair value adjustment on biological assets. The reason for exclusion is because this adjustment has nothing to do with the Group`s operational performance. The change in fair value arises from changes in forward prices on salmon at Fishpool. Another item to be excluded is onerous contract provision. This item is indirectly related to biological assets, since loss on onerous contracts is calculated based on the increased value on fish in sea from the fair value adjustment. In addition, the production fee, implemented from 2021, on slaughtered volume of salmon and trout, has also been excluded. This is explained with the fact that the production fee is tax related. It was adopted as an alternative to ground rent tax. Further on, isolated events not expected to reoccur, such as litigation costs, are excluded. This type of cost is not considered relevant for the current operation, and thus not relevant when analysing the current operation. Finally, change in unrealized internal margin on stock, has been excluded. Feedback from investors and analysts have been that this item is perceived as confusing when evaluating the operational performance of the period. Since it is a non-significant part of the result of the period, it has been excluded from the APMs.
The Group`s joint ventures and associated companies are significant enterprises in their segments and represents substantial values for the Group. Income from joint ventures and associates are therefore part of the operational EBIT.
On 31 May 2023 the Norwegian Government decided to adopt a resource rent tax of 25% on earnings from the production of salmon and trout in sea. The law was given retroactively with effect from 1 January 2023. The resource rent tax comes on top of standard corporate tax of 22%, so that the total tax rate for the affected activity is 47%.
The resource rent tax cost in 2023 will consist of two elements, first an implementation effect (one-off effect) and secondly resource rent tax for the period.
The implementation effect is estimated at NOK 1.8 billion, and recognized in the second quarter of 2023, the same quarter as the law was adopted. The entire amount comes from increased deferred tax on the stock of fish in the sea at the beginning of the year. The resource rent tax is calculated as 25% of the difference between the accounting value and the tax value. One reason why the implementation effect is significant, is because the majority of the Norwegian Storting members seem to agree on the fact that no deduction should be given in resource rent tax for costs on stock incurred on the fish up to the time of entry into force. This creates an asymmetry, where the income from the fish that was in stock at the beginning of 2023 receives a total taxation of 47%, standard corporate tax plus resource tax rent tax, while only a 22% tax deduction is given. Therefore, this is a controversial and disputed point, which also deviates from historical political practice. However, this asymmetry only applies to the stock of fish in the sea that the affected companies had at the time of entry into force. New costs incurred from 1 of January 2023 will obtain a full tax deduction of 47%.
Deferred tax on stocks will become payable tax as the stock of fish in the sea is harvested and sold. The income from this fish will be included in the basis of calculation of payable resource rent tax. At the same time, cost on stock on new fish added to the stock, will be deducted in the basis of calculation of payable resource rent tax. This means that if cost on stock of fish in the sea is higher on the balance sheet date than it was at the start of the period, the change in stock will represent a net reduction in the basis for calculation of payable ground rent tax. In the opposite case, if the cost on stock of fish in the sea is lower on the balance sheet date than it was at the beginning of the period, the change in stock will represent an increase in the basis for calculation of payable ground rent tax. The inventory changes have no impact on the tax cost overall. But the change affects the time when the tax is due for payment.
The resource rent tax calculation for the period shall be based on the earnings from the production of salmon and trout in the sea. Although the main principles have been defined through the Prop. 78 LS (2022-2023) from 28th of March 2023, a lot of important details are still missing in order to carry out a reliable calculation. There remain several regulatory clarifications from the Ministry of Finance. Among other things, the Ministry of Finance has through a public hearing proposed to establish a price council for aquaculture and rules for the determination of gross income in resource rent tax, with a deadline of 4 th of September 2023 for responses. In addition, the calculation of resource rent tax in accordance with chapter 19 of the Tax Act, requires a number of analyzes and clarifications relating to tax-related transfer pricing in accordance with Section 13-1 of the Tax Act and the OECD guidelines for transfer pricing. The main challenge is to segregate the aquaculture activity in sea, which are subjected to resource rent tax, from other activities not subject to basic rent tax. These are complex and comprehensive exercises in a fully integrated value chain, where both land and sea activities have traditionally been carried out by one and the same company and accounting measurement has been arranged accordingly. In addition, the differences in profitability between the regions is a complicating element. The group's transfer pricing work is ongoing.
Taking these elements into account, the group has therefore decided not to include any estimate of the resource rent tax for the period in the figures for the second quarter of 2023. Thus, the resource rent tax cost does only consist of the implementation effect. Consequently, the resource rent tax cost is not reduced either with the standardized deduction amount nor the production fee paid. The group considers it very likely that the deductions can be utilized in 2023. If these deductions cannot be utilized in the income year, the right to deduct will lapse. They cannot be carried forward. As of 30 June 2023, an effective standardized deduction amount for the first half of the year, as well as a deduction for paid production fee, would represent a deduction in payable resource rent tax cost of NOK 42 million.
