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

Ocean-based Atlantic salmon farming is on the right side of sustainability

  • 2023 volume guidance of record-high 484k GWT including Arctic Fish in Iceland
  • Scotland recovery
  • Chile growth
  • Canada West reduction from 2022 due to Discovery Islands and uneven site mix. ~25k GWT from 2024 onwards
  • Iceland growth from acquisition of 51% of Arctic Fish. Significant growth opportunities ahead

Volume growth of 109,000 GWT over 5 years to all-time high 484,000 GWT for 2023 (CAGR 5.2%)

  • Strong growth in Mowi's global harvest volumes over 5 years of 109,000 GWT
  • Growth in excess of industry (5.2% CAGR vs industry at 4.1%)
  • Intrinsic potential to grow volumes well beyond 500,000 GWT

Outlook

  • A record-breaking 2022 and a good start to the new year
  • Modest supply growth going forward, and salmon normally fares well in challenging economic times
  • On 28 September 2022 the Norwegian government proposed an unsustainable tax level for the Norwegian salmon industry of 62%, and about 80% with Norwegian wealth tax
  • Will impose major limitations on future growth and development of the Norwegian salmon industry and thereby loss of current and future jobs in their thousands along the Norwegian coastline
  • Public consultation process ended 4 January 2023 with massive protest from majority of respondents
  • Formal clarification not expected until after Easter and most likely not until close to summer
  • Mowi harvest volume guidance increased to record-high 484k GWT in 2023
  • Blended farming costs expected to increase slightly in the first quarter due to seasonally lower dilution of cost in addition to previous inflation
  • Falling input costs indicate a decline in cost to stock for 2023
  • Quarterly dividend of NOK 1.70 per share (50% of underlying EPS), payable in first quarter

Q4 2022 presentation

Appendix

Proposed resource rent tax on salmon farming in Norway – 62% total tax

  • Currently, the industry pays 22% corporate tax, in addition to 0.6% export tax (on revenues) and NOK 0.4 per kg in production fee
  • On 28 September the Norwegian government announced a proposal for an additional resource rent tax of 40% with effect from tax year 2023 putting total taxes at 62% (production fee deductible)
  • Applicable to farming activities in seawater
  • From the very beginning Mowi has been clear that this tax level is not sustainable and that it will impose major limitations on future growth and development of the Norwegian salmon industry, and thereby cause the loss of current and future jobs in their thousands along the Norwegian coastline, if implemented
  • Furthermore, the tax model as such is not fit for purpose as it is very bureaucratic and handles margins and deductibles asymmetrically
  • The standard deduction discriminates against larger salmon farmers and thus undermines the traffic light auction system in addition to potentially violating the Norwegian state's obligations under the EEA agreement
  • Page 38 • The public consultation process ended on 4 January with, as expected, massive and vocal warnings of the negative consequences of this tax level and the chosen model from the majority of respondents. Now the political process has started, and we do not expect to have a formal clarification until after Easter, and most likely not until close to the summer

Dividend policy

  • − 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
