Production cost development

Production cost from 2021 and onwards

Arctic Fish expects to stabilize and decrease production cost through:

  • Increased size of smolt is expected to improve survival rate and decrease production time.
  • Expansions and improvements in the RAS facility will lead to better license utilization and fish health.
  • Constant improvements and economies of increased knowledge.
  • Full control of harvesting capacity will optimize timing both with regards to the market and the production in sea.
  • A new facility will decrease cost and secure sufficient capacity.
  • Increased and stable volumes with full control on harvesting capacity.

Profit and Loss

Key P&L items in the quarter

Commentary

Revenues decreased by 40% YoY, which is due to the fact that harvesting volumes were 55% less in Q4 2022 than in Q4 2021. When looking past that, the Operational EBIT achieved in Q4 2022 was 1% better than last year. Overall the profit after tax in the quarter amounted to 58.5 MNOK (23.4 MNOK better than same period last year), which is due to positive fair value adjustments in the period.
