• 2023 volume guidance of 484k GWT maintained

  • Second quarter another record-breaking quarter on strong operational performance in a good market
  • Salmon normally fares well in challenging economic times
  • Modest supply growth of 1% expected in 2023 (3% in H2-23)
  • Mowi harvest volume guidance maintained at 484k GWT in 2023
    • Equivalent to growth of 4.4%, surpassing that of the wider industry
  • Resource rent tax of 25% approved 31 May (reduced from 35% and initial proposal of 40%) still unsustainable tax level for the Norwegian salmon industry of 47%
    • Continue to work politically against this tax
    • Mowi to pursue legal steps in due course

Note: The carbon footprint used for land based animal production was calculated by starting to convert the production volumes of Mowi salmon in 2020 to edible yield (using a 55% conversion), then calculating the carbon footprint of that volume originating from animal protein mix. This was done by using a mix of consumption (OECD, 2019) of 40% chicken, 38% pork and 22% beef and the reported GHG emissions from SINTEF 2020. www.epa.gov/energy/greenhouse-gas-equivalencies-calculator was used to convert the net CO2e emissions resulting from replacing land based protein by Mowi salmon, to number of cars that can be removed from the road every year

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
