Statt Torsk

Financial Report Q1 2023

Gustave Brun-Lie

CEO

Dear shareholder

  • I regret to say that this is disappointing.
  • The prices obtained for products without long-term agreements were significantly low, sometimes even lower than prices for wild-caught fish. There are various reasons for this, but the fact remains that we have not yet achieved our goal of differentiating our product from other white fish products.
  • We have adjusted our production expectations. This is a challenging task, and a longer harvesting season is crucial. We acknowledge the urgent need to improve our control over production volumes.
  • Our new industry faced negative media coverage due to escape and maturation issues. We believe this treatment is unfair. • How to address these challenges:
  • We must further leverage our advantages of delivery predictability and product quality. This will be the focus of our revised sales strategy.
  • Our competition is not with wild white fish; we are introducing a new dimension.
  • We need to explore new markets. In March, we visited Japan and Korea for the second time to explore their potential. We successfully organized events with

sushi chefs in collaboration with the Norwegian Seafood Council, gaining positive results in both countries. Our fish is highly suitable for sushi and sashimi, which are experiencing rapid growth in seafood consumption globally. Given that Japan is the birthplace of sushi, closely followed by Korea, the potential references are fascinating. Efforts are underway to export our products fresh, rather than frozen, as already established for salmon and trout.

  • Our strategy revolves around establishing long-term relationships with our customers. This is vital for optimizing our production.
  • Pricing: Can we improve our prices? Our long-term customers value the extended freshness, year-round deliveries, and absence of anisakis.
  • Can we reduce our costs? With larger volumes, we believe this is achievable.
  • Lastly, and importantly, we are making progress in utilizing the entire fish by creating new products such as canned cod liver. • The way forward: We never intended for this endeavor to be a "walk in the park." Creating a new product is challenging and demands patience.
  • One thing is evident: Our product is truly excellent!

Note 1 General information and Reporting principles

Reporting entity

Statt Torsk ASA is registered and domiciled in Norway, head office in Stad on the west coast of Norway. The statements includes the 100% owned subsidiaries Stokkeneset Reiarlag AS and Statt Sjømat AS.

Reporting principles

The 2023 Q1 report is prepared according to IFRS. The financial information is not audited. Accounting principles applied in 2023 are consistent with those used in the Annual Report for 2022 ( IFRS). 2023 Q1 has been adjusted accordingly.

As there are no reliable indication on future sales prices our best estimate for fair value of the fish in sea is currently cost. The marked will be monitored closely, and we will adjust our estimate when predictable price picture for wild farmed cod becomes available.

For complete accounting principles, we refer to the Annual Report for 2022.
