Financial Report Q3 2022
Gustave Brun-Lie
CEO

Another quarter has lapsed. Eventful indeed with many milestones of great importance to us:
We have started weekly harvesting at the Western Seaproducts plant in Vartdal. This is an experienced harvesting plant with stable and dedicated workforce. A long-term agreement is in place through a cooperation with their owners, the Måsøval group.
The logistics are further enhanced through our agreement with the owners of the well boat "Havørn" which we have chartered long term. The vessel fits perfectly to our needs and consists of one of the most experienced crew in transportation of cod.
With one harvest per week in September we are now harvesting twice a week and will soon harvest three times per week. All this on a yearly basis and we are proud to say that we have achieved one very important goal which is to deliver a predictable product at a predictable time.
Sales have always been a high priority and now that we can promise predictability to the market. We are increasing our efforts towards existing as well as new
costumers world-wide. In cooperation with the common platform of farmed cod producers we are in the process of scientifically proving that our product is free from so-called "insects" ie anisakis. This will qualify our fish for the sushi and sashimi marked, which is, as far as we know, the fastest growing market for consumption of seafood.
Furthermore, we are working proactively with the Norwegian Seafood Council to explore the potential for farmed cod in sushi. This includes testing and marketing towards the top sushi chefs in Oslo. Farmed cod has unique product qualities, with a mild taste and perfect texture, making it perfect for the high-end sushi market.
New locations for farming, like the newly awarded Apalset site, is important in order to build an economically viable and sustainable production cluster.
We believe we have good control on our value chain and our target is continuously to strengthen this.
No need to say; we are as enthusiastic as ever!
The 14. of July, Statt was granted an extension from 3 to 6 MAB at site Rekvika, brings Statt to a total of 8 MABs.

First harvest at Western Seaproducts AS at Vartdal on 5. September.

A total of approx. 1,170,000 fingerlings was put to sea in 2021, at 3 different periods.
Total volume of fish at Rekvika per 30.09.22 was 2,640 tons.
Current production are expected to result in 600 tons WFE to be harvested in 2H 2022 and 3,400 tons in 2023.
Harvesting for the Rekvika production was initiated at Vartdal on 5. of September. In September we carried out 4 days of harvesting as planned. A total of 71,5 tons WFE was harvested in September.
Our partner Western Seaproducts AS has delivered more than Statt expected. From October Statt harvested 2 days a week. The plan is to increase to 3 days a week from mid November.
Harvesting at Rekvika will continue into Q3 2023.
As per 30.09.2022 the growth rate is on track accumulated. Weight of fish under production is from 2,3 to 3,9 kg, depending on batch. Planned weight WFE is 3,3 – 4+ depending on harvest period.
Biological feed conversion rate (bFCR) in Q3: 0,99 / as per 30.09.2022: 1,03. Expected end of production: 1,1
Economical feed conversion rate (eFCR) in Q3: 1,18 / as per 30.09.2022: 1,1. This is as expected. Expected eFCR end of production period: 1,20-1,25.
Mortality rate in Q3 is 4,09% / per 30.09.2022 11,02%. Expected mortality rate end of production cycle of 19-21 months is 10-12%

A total of approx. 385.000 fingerlings was put to sea in Q3. In addition, 105,000 fingerlings was put to sea in April, resulting in a total of approx. 490,000 fingerlings put to sea per 30.09.2022.
Current production, together with an expected delivery of fingerlings in November, is expected to result in 3,000-3,500 tons WFE to be harvested in 2H 2023 – 1H 2024.
Total volume of fish at Stokkeneset per 30.09.22 was 219 tons.

So far too small production to report any reliable figures. We will start report FCR at Stokkeneset in Q4 2022.
Mortality rate in Q3 is 3,6% / per 30.09.2022 3,9%. Expected mortality rate end of production cycle of 19-21 months is 10-12%

Note 1 General information and Reporting principles
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 subsidiary Stokkeneset Reiarlag AS.
The 2022 Q3 report is prepared based on IFRS. The financial information is not audited. Accounting principles applied in 2022 are consistent with those used in the Annual Report for 2021 ( IFRS). 2021 Q3 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.
