1) This interim report is unaudited. Please refer to part 4 of the Annual Report and the appendix to this quarterly report (available online on our web site) for detailed descriptions and reconciliation of Alternative Performance Measures (non-IFRS measures) including
definitions of key figures and reconciliation to IFRS figures.
2) Operational revenue: Revenue and other income, including realised gain/loss from currency derivatives related to contract sales, and excluding change in unrealised salmon derivatives and sales tax in the Faroes. 3) Operational EBIT: Calculated by excluding the following items from financial EBIT: Change in unrealised internal margin, change in unrealised gains/losses from salmon derivatives, net fair value adjustment on biomass, onerous contract provisions, restructuring costs, income from associated companies, impairment losses and write-downs, sales taxes/license fees/production fees and other non-operational items. Operational EBIT also includes realised gain/loss from currency derivatives related to contract sales. A reconciliation between Operational EBIT and financial EBIT is provided on the next page, and we also refer to the appendix to this quarterly report (available online) for further information. The largest individual difference between Operational EBIT and financial EBIT is usually the net fair value adjustment on biomass according to IFRS (and the related onerous contracts provision), which is a volatile figure impacted by estimates of future salmon prices as well as other estimates.
4) Operational EBITDA: Operational EBIT plus depreciations. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.
5) Cash flow from operations: Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.
6) NIBD: Total non-current interest-bearing financial debt, minus total cash, plus current interest-bearing financial debt and plus net effect of currency derivatives on interest-bearing financial debt. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded. 7) Underlying EPS: Operational EBIT adjusted for accrued interest payable, with estimated weighted tax rate - per share. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.
8) Net cash flow per share: Cash flow from operations and investments (capex), net financial items paid and realised currency effects - per share. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.
9) ROCE: Annualised return on average capital employed based on EBIT excluding net fair value adjustment on biomass, onerous contract provisions and other non-operational items / Average NIBD + Equity, excluding net fair value adjustment on biomass, onerous contract provisions and net assets held for sale, unless there are material transactions in the period. Effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing) are excluded.
10) Covenant equity ratio: Book equity ratio excluding effects related to IFRS 16 (leasing).
11) Operational EBIT per kg including allocated margin from Feed and Sales & Marketing.
The Group's profits hinge on its ability to provide customer value from healthy, tasty and nutritious seafood, farmed both cost-effectively and in an environmentally sustainable way that maintains a good aquatic environment and respects the needs of wider society.

Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 239.5 million. The increase of EUR 109.0 million from the comparable quarter is explained by higher earnings in the Farming segment, driven by higher prices. The contribution from Feed was EUR 14.9 million (EUR 10.1 million), and Farming contributed EUR 180.1 million (EUR 90.2 million). Markets contributed EUR 18.2 million (EUR 11.4 million) and Consumer Products contributed EUR 30.3 million (EUR 21.5 million).
Earnings before financial items and taxes (EBIT) came to EUR 122.7 million (EUR 44.9 million). Other non-operational items include a gain of EUR 22.5 million related to divestment of unused development licenses. The net fair value adjustment on biomass including onerous contracts amounted to EUR -103.4 million (EUR -57.9 million), mainly due to lower prices at the end of the quarter compared with the previous quarter.
Income from associated companies of EUR 10.0 million mainly relates to Nova Sea. The operational result for Nova Sea in Q3 2022 was equivalent to EUR 2.55 per kg (EUR 1.77 per kg) on a harvested volume of 12 793 GWT (11 944 GWT).

1) Group figures adjusted for eliminations.
Mowi monitors the overall value creation of its operations based on the salmon's source of origin. For this reason Operational EBIT related to our Feed and Sales & Marketing operations is allocated back to the country of origin.
The table below and upcoming performance review provide information consistent with the value creation methodology.
Other entities reported Operational EBIT of EUR -3.8 million in the quarter (EUR -2.8 million in the comparable quarter).

As expected, prices in the third quarter corrected down from record-high levels in the second quarter on seasonally higher volumes and global supply growth of 7% compared with the same quarter last year. That being said, prices were still at a seasonally high level in Europe, the most important market for Atlantic salmon, against a generally favourable demand backdrop.
Global harvest of Atlantic salmon amounted to 711,200 tonnes in the third quarter which was more than guided, driven first and foremost by more Chilean volumes.

Supply from Norway increased by 2% compared with the third quarter of 2021, which was somewhat above guidance. A higher number of fish were harvested than expected, due to a combination of harvest being brought forward to stay within MAB limits, and fish-health-related issues causing advanced harvest. Estimated biomass at end of September was flat yearon-year, and in combination with 25% unsold capacity in the license auction this indicates a tight market balance in 2023.
Harvest volumes in Scotland dropped slightly compared with third quarter of 2021, which was below guidance. Biological issues related to gill health and effects from micro-jellyfish impacted growth and harvest volumes. Harvest volumes in Faroe Islands were relatively stable year-on-year and in line with guidance.
Harvest volumes from Chile increased by 26% compared with same quarter last year, which was 34,000 tonnes higher than guidance. This increased supply was driven by higher numbers of fish being harvested on the back of biological challenges mainly related to SRS. Despite early harvest, average harvest weights increased year-on-year which may indicate that incoming biomass was higher than expected. Standing biomass at end of September was estimated to be down 8% compared with one year ago, which supports reduced volumes from Chile going forward.
Harvest volumes in North America increased by 1% compared with the same quarter in 2021, in line with guidance. The reference price decreased by 11% from the comparable quarter driven by more volumes into the North American market.

Global consumption increased by 4% in the third quarter compared with the same period in 2021. The increase in consumption was less than the increase in supply by some 18,000 tonnes mainly due to frozen inventory build-up in Chile following accelerated harvesting. Blended global salmon prices increased significantly compared with the same quarter last year and the estimated global value of salmon consumed increased by some 25%. Despite an uncertain economic outlook, overall demand has so far continued to develop favourably, and history shows that salmon normally fares well during economically challenging times.
European salmon consumption increased by 3% in the quarter, which was in line with European supply growth. Underlying demand for salmon continued to be good, however, as expected sales in the retail channel have dropped from a high level but are still higher than pre-pandemic levels. Foodservice activity on the other hand continued to improve year-on-year, supporting overall consumption growth.
Consumption in the US increased by 7% compared with the same quarter in 2021. Solid growth in the US market continued, and demand has been stellar during the past years; consumption is currently approaching 600k GWT p.a. which is impressive. Brazilian consumption declined mainly due to lack of large-sized fish for the HoReCa market, however, adjusted for size distribution, developments in the Brazilian market continue to support a recovery in consumption from the pandemic.
Consumption in Asia increased by 3% in the third quarter compared with the same period in 2021, primarily driven by China and Other Asia. The relaxation of pandemic-induced restrictions in China during the quarter had positive effects on market activity with increased imports of salmon from both Norway and Chile. The foodservice segment drove increased consumption levels. In other parts of Asia increased availability of fresh salmon and resumption of normal tourism activity had positive effects on consumption, yet some markets are still impacted by higher freight rates and suboptimal logistics.
Notes to the reference price table:
Revenues in the third quarter were distributed as shown in the graph below. Europe is by far the largest market for Mowi with its 67% (66%) revenue share. France, Germany and the UK are the main markets for our products in this region.
The Group's main species is Atlantic salmon. Revenues for our external sales channels in Sales & Marketing were distributed across product categories as follows:
Bulk salmon represented 42% (38%). Elaborated salmon, including smoked/marinated, MAP, sushi and other prepared and value-added products accounted for 58% (62%).
In October, Mowi introduced MOWI-branded salmon in the German retail market. The product range includes Cold Smoked Fjord Salmon, Fresh Fjord Salmon, Friluft Salmon (Gravad) and SMØK75 (Hot Smoked), underlining the Norwegian heritage of the brand. With in-store tastings, refrigerator displays and advertising activities, MOWI is generating trials, purchases, and brand awareness with the help of actor Kristofer Hivju's amusing portrayals of the Norwegian way of life. Germany is the 17th country to date in which the MOWI brand has been launched.
Volumes for our Ducktrap brand in the US increased by 10% compared with the third quarter of 2021 as a result of growth in both the retail segment as well as foodservice.
Sales by Geography Q3 2022 Asia: 9% Rest ofthe world: 2% The combined global price achieved in Q3 2022 was 3% above the reference price in the quarter (3% above). Relative to the reference price, contribution from contracts, including contribution from Consumer Products, was positive in the quarter. Price achievement exceeded the reference price for Norwegian, Scottish, Chilean and West Canadian origins, but was below in Canada East due to harvesting of ISA fish.

Operational EBIT Salmon of Norwegian Origin
Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 221.1 million (EUR 98.4 million), which was the second best ever. The increase in earnings from the comparable quarter was mainly due to improved prices and all-time high volumes. Operational EBIT per kg was EUR 2.53 per kg compared with EUR 1.39 per kg in the third quarter of 2021.
Financial EBIT amounted to EUR 171.8 million (EUR 92.3 million).
Spot prices for superior salmon increased by 30% from the third quarter of 2021 driven by good demand. The average market reference price was EUR 6.89 per kg.
The overall price achieved by Mowi for salmon of Norwegian origin was 1% above the reference price (2% above the reference price level in the third quarter of 2021). The overall effect of contribution from contracts, including contribution from Consumer Products, on the price achievement relative to the reference price was positive in the third quarter of both 2022 and 2021. The contract share was stable at 22%. The overall quarterly superior share was 94% (95%).
Harvested volume was 87 415 tonnes gutted weight (71 024 tonnes gutted weight). The increase of 16 391 tonnes was mainly explained by higher volumes in Region South, and also somewhat increased volumes in Region Mid. The volume increases were mainly due to improved seawater production and smolt stocking. Average harvest weight improved somewhat from the comparable quarter.
Full cost per kg harvested increased compared with the third quarter of 2021. Released-from-stock1) cost per kg increased mainly as a result of higher feed cost due to higher feed prices. The other cost items were stable despite inflationary pressure.
Incident based mortality costs in the quarter were EUR 7.1 million compared with EUR 7.2 million in the third quarter of 2021. This was mainly related to gill infection in Region South and Region West.
Production, survival rate and feed conversion ratio improved from the comparable quarter, despite mortality incidents in the quarter.
The volume guidance for 2022 has been increased to recordhigh 286 000 GWT from 272 000 GWT on very good growth conditions and feed performance. For 2023 the volume guidance is 290 000 GWT.

Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 4.2 million in the third quarter (EUR 13.4 million), the equivalent of EUR 0.29 per kg (EUR 0.90 per kg). In the third quarter, the low-performing stocks grown from externally sourced eggs were harvested out, resulting in high released cost. This, combined with high mortality from difficult environmental conditions as a result of micro-jellyfish blooms, significantly impacted cost in the quarter. These effects were partly offset by improved prices.
Financial EBIT amounted to EUR -37.3 million (EUR -6.3 million).
The overall price achieved was 11% above the reference price in the quarter (25% above). Contribution from contracts relative to the reference price was positive in the third quarter of both 2022 and 2021. The contract share was 61% in the quarter (46%).
The third quarter harvest volume was 14 494 tonnes gutted weight, which was stable from 14 968 tonnes in the comparable quarter despite 28% lower average harvest weight following accelerated harvesting to manage biological challenges.
Operational EBIT Salmon of Scottish Origin Q3 2022 vs Q3 2021
Full cost per kg was high in the quarter. Released-from-stock costs were high as a result of a prolonged period of low growth and high mortality for stocks grown from externally sourced eggs. These eggs were introduced in the absence of other options following the EU-imposed export ban on Norwegian eggs in 2019. These stocks were harvested out in the third quarter.
Furthermore, non-seawater costs were significantly impacted by incident-based mortality of EUR 7.6 million (EUR 1.5 million), or EUR 0.52/kg, related to micro-jelly fish blooms around Skye and the Western Isles causing elevated mortalities in some of our farms. As a response to these challenges several fish groups were relocated to other sites with good results.
Sea lice levels and AGD challenges were relatively low in the quarter.
Our Scottish farming operations has experienced a troublesome year with regards to biology and the 2022 volume guidance has been reduced to 50 000 GWT. However, we expect a recovery in 2023 with a volume guidance of 65 000 GWT.

Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 21.5 million in the third quarter (EUR 13.9 million). The increase from the comparable quarter was due to higher prices and volumes, partly offset by increased cost. Operational EBIT per kg was EUR 1.27 per kg (EUR 0.93 per kg).
Financial EBIT amounted to EUR 24.5 million (EUR 1.2 million).
The Urner Barry D-trim 3-4 lb average reference price was USD 5.99 in the quarter, which was relatively stable from the third quarter of 2021 despite significantly increased supply.
Our price achievement for Chilean salmon in the quarter was 4% above the reference price (5% below the reference price in the third quarter of 2021). Contribution from contracts, including contribution from Consumer Products, had a positive impact on price achievement relative to the reference price in the third quarter of 2022 and 2021. The contract share in the quarter was 57% (54%). The superior share was 95% (91%).
Operational EBIT Salmon of Chilean Origin Q3 2022 vs Q3 2021
Harvested volume was 16 890 tonnes gutted weight in the third quarter (14 945 tonnes). There was more biomass available for harvesting as a result of increased smolt stocking and improved production.
Full cost per kg harvested increased from the comparable quarter. Feed and health costs were negatively impacted by harvesting from sites with a high cost level negatively impacted by previous environmental conditions over time. Increased feed prices also had a negative impact on feed cost.
There was no incident-based mortality recognised in the quarter (EUR 1.2 million in the comparable quarter).
Overall biology was good for Mowi Chile in the third quarter, with production, survival rates and feed conversion ratios improved compared with the third quarter of 2021. The sanitary situation was generally good.
Volume guidance for Mowi Chile for 2022 was reduced by 4 000 GWT. For 2023 we expect to harvest 71 000 GWT.

Operational EBIT Salmon of Canadian Origin Q3 2022 vs Q3 2021
Operational EBIT for Canada West was EUR 7.5 million in the quarter (EUR 5.6 million), i.e. EUR 0.78 per kg (EUR 0.66). The slight earnings improvement was mainly due to increased volumes and somewhat lower cost, partly offset by lower spot prices. In Canada East, volumes were very low in the quarter, and were related to harvesting of ISA fish at high cost and low prices.
Financial EBIT amounted to EUR -11.3 million (EUR -39.1 million).
The Urner-Barry Seattle 10-12 lbs GWE reference price decreased by 11% from the comparable quarter of 2021 driven by increased volumes into the North American market.
The price achievement for our Canadian operations was 3% below the reference price in the second quarter (4% below), and was negatively impacted by very low harvest weights in Canada East.
The third quarter harvest volume was 11 115 tonnes gutted weight, which was stable from 11 065 tonnes in the comparable quarter.
In Canada West, the harvest volume was 9 624 tonnes, an increase by 1 079 tonnes in the comparable quarter. More biomass was available for harvesting on increased smolt stocking. In Canada East, the harvest volume was only 1 491 tonnes (2 520 tonnes).
Cost per kg harvested improved from the third quarter of 2021 due to less volumes from Canada East and also lower cost in Canada West.
Incident based mortality losses amounting to EUR 2.6 million (EUR 10.2 million) had a negative cost impact, mainly related to environmental conditions and treatment mortality.
Production, survival rates and feed conversion ratios improved from the comparable quarter. In Canada East ISA detections decreased and sea lice levels improved from prior years.
Volume guidance for Mowi Canada for 2022 is increased from 42 000 GWT to 43 000 GWT. For 2023 we expect a harvest of 27 000 GWT partly explained by loss of licences in the Discovery Island area in 2020.

Operational EBIT amounted to EUR 1.8 million in the third quarter of 2022 (EUR 2.5 million), equivalent to a margin of EUR 1.06 per kg (EUR 0.86 per kg). Earnings were relatively stable from the comparable quarter on lower volumes and higher cost, partly offset by higher prices. Mowi Faroes harvested from the site Sandsvág in the quarter, which normally carries an elevated cost level due to its exposed location.
Financial EBIT amounted to EUR 0.8 million (EUR 2.1 million).
Harvest volume was 1 730 tonnes gutted weight (2 899 tonnes). Harvest volumes fluctuate from year to year in our Faroese operations due to low number of sites.

Consumer Products delivered an Operational EBIT of EUR 30.3 million (EUR 21.5 million). This was record-high for a third quarter due to strong operational performance, continued strong sales to retail and tailwinds from lower raw material prices compared with the second quarter. The Operational EBIT margin was 3.9% (3.2%).
Financial EBIT3) amounted to EUR 30.4 million (EUR 17.8 million).
Consumer Products' operating revenues were EUR 776.5 million (EUR 674.4 million) in the quarter. Total volumes sold in the quarter were 56 022 tonnes product weight. This was higher than pre-pandemic levels but somewhat lower than in the comparable quarter (60 399 tonnes) when home consumption and demand for value-added products was particularly strong due to the pandemic.
Earnings improved in both the Fresh and Chilled segments for Consumer Products Europe on strong operational performance and price adjustments to compensate for inflation in the value chain. Volumes were somewhat reduced from the extra-ordinary retail demand during the pandemic.
Volumes were slightly reduced in the Fresh segment, partly due to negative impacts from hurricane-related closures. Earnings increased following price adjustments to compensate for inflationary pressure. In the Chilled segment, volumes increased, but earnings decreased due to more expensive input factors.

The volume delivered from Mowi Feed to our European farming operations accounted for 97% (95%) of total feed consumption in the third quarter.
Market prices for feed increased also in the third quarter. This was connected to increased feed raw material prices.
Feed performance and production volumes were good in the quarter. However, raw material costs increased from the third quarter of 2021 on significantly higher prices for nearly all materials such as fish oils, vegetable oils, soy meal and wheat gluten. Logistics costs have also increased from the comparable quarter.
Food from the ocean is key to provide nutritious food with a smaller climate footprint than land-based food production. It is a triple win: for the People, for the Planet and the Economy. Our big goal is to unlock the potential of the ocean to produce more food for a growing world population in a way that respects our planet and allows local communities to flourish.
In September, Position Green released their updated ESG ranking of large companies in the Nordics. Mowi was included in the "A list" of leadership companies. In August, Mowi was ranked 'Winner of the Year' by PwC Norway in their 2022 Climate Index. These rankings come in addition to several other strong ESG ratings: In the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index for 2021, Mowi was ranked the most sustainable animal protein producer in the world for the third time in a row. In the 2021 Seafood Stewardship Index, Mowi was ranked number 2 by the World Benchmarking Alliance. This index ranks 30 of the most influential seafood companies in the world on their commitments, transparency and performance to meet the United Nations' (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Mowi continues to reduce GHG emissions in accordance with our Science Based Targets. These targets are aligned with the Paris agreement to limit the increase in the global average temperature to well below 2°C, and ideally no more than 1.5°C. Mowi's scope 1 and 2 emissions were reduced by 22% in the first three quarters of 2022 compared with the same period of 2021. Mowi has a target of reducing absolute scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 35% by 2030.
Mowi's production of sustainable seafood in 2022 accounted for a total of nearly 1.3 million tonnes of avoided CO2 emissions compared with producing the equivalent volumes by using a mix of land animal proteins. This is equivalent to 291 000 cars removed from the road.
Mowi has a target of zero fish escapes and is constantly striving to prevent escapes and improve methods, equipment and procedures so as to minimise or eliminate escapes. In the third quarter, there were 3 escape incident with 9 escaped fish. In the comparable quarter there were 2 escape incident with 12 escaped fish. YTD Q3 2022, the total number of escape incidents is 9, with 49 978 escaped fish.
98.3% of our harvest volumes in the third quarter were sustainably certified with a Global Seafood Sustainable Initiative (GSSI) recognised standard (ASC, BAP or Global GAP). Thirdparty certification remains important to our sustainability strategy and our aim is to be 100% certified.
For further information regarding sustainability and biological risk management, reference is made to the Annual Report.
Mowi was part of the Japan-Norway Sustainable Seafood Symposium in Yokohama, Japan. Ensuring that the principles of sustainability guide our industry and value chain is important for the future of our planet and for aquaculture around the world. The symposium was an opportunity for our sector to share industry insights and developments both in Norway and Japan. Catarina Martins, Mowi's Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer, presented how we are leading the way in environmental, profitable, and socially sustainable aquaculture. The seminar also coincided with the Statsraad Lehmkuhl and One Ocean Expedition visiting Yokohama. Mowi is a sponsor of the One Ocean Expedition.

Game of Thrones star brings MOWI salmon from farm to fork
The MOWI brand has launched a new global campaign starring the famous 'Game of Thrones' star Kristofer Hivju. The campaign has already started in Germany, Italy, Poland and the US and additional markets will follow suit in the coming months, airing advertisement on TV and sharing clips on social media.
The new campaign was ranked #4 among the best ads and advertising campaigns of the week worldwide by global advertising agency AdForum.
The campaign aims to highlight the craftsmanship behind our product, and the fact that MOWI is the only global brand offering salmon products sourced directly from the farmer to the consumer. Filmed in Lofoten, Norway, the campaign plays on stereotypes of Norwegian culture, such as Jantelov (the law of Jante, which is said to explain the way Norwegians behave) and Friluftsliv (Norwegians' love of the outdoors).
The campaign is targeted primarily at urban, well-educated professionals who live busy lives and are environmentally conscious. Please follow the MOWI brand social media accounts for more 'MOWI Way of Life' content!

Arctic Fish is one of the leading salmon farmers in Iceland, situated in the West Fjords with favorable conditions for salmon farming. The company is listed on Euronext Growth Oslo and the acquisition price is NOK 115 per share amounting to NOK 1.88 billion or EUR 181 million. Arctic Fish has licenses for 10 ASC approved sites in total, providing a maximum allowed biomass of 27,100 tonnes and another 4,800 tonnes pending approval. The company expects to harvest 10,600 GWT in 2022. The transaction is subject to consent by the EU commission and certain other closing conditions.
On 28 September, the Norwegian government announced that it proposes to introduce a resource rent tax of 40% on salmon farming in Norway with effect from the tax year 2023 for volumes above 4 000/5 000 tonnes. With this proposal, total tax rate for farming of salmon and trout will be 62%. Please note that this is a proposal which must be approved by Parliament.
The tax level is completely disproportionate for a biological production process such as salmon farming given the risks entailed. Mowi therefore respectfully advises the government to reconsider its resource tax proposal. The aquaculture industry is of great importance for the future of Norway and it is in the nation's best interests to see it grow. However, the proposed tax will severely damage participants' ability and willingness to make investments. A tax rate of 62% will put an end to most of the many significant investment plans along the Norwegian coast, leading not only to reduced local employment levels now and in the future, but also to a massive diversion of funds away from coastal communities. Until agreement has been reached on a more viable framework for the industry all new structural investments in Mowi Norway have unfortunately been put on hold.
Mowi is a global company and salmon farming is not bound by geography – it can take place in sea and on land anywhere in the world, close to its major markets. If the proposal for 62% tax is approved by parliament then the Norwegian aquaculture industry faces the greatest setback in its 50-year history, and over time Norway stands to lose its leading position within aquaculture to other countries.
In light of the proposal, the Board decided to cancel its June acquisition of 1% fixed-price growth of 914 tonnes MAB related to the traffic light system, as the company could no longer justify the purchase price of EUR 18 million. By extension, Mowi chose not to participate in the traffic light auction itself.
The proposal is now in a public hearing process until 4 January 2023 and Mowi will continue to work with all levels of Norwegian politics and other organisations to try and turn this anti-business proposal into a viable framework for the Norwegian aquaculture industry going forward.
Mowi has decided to close the Jøkelfjord factory in Kvænangen in Norway Region North. In March, Mowi decided to temporarily stop production at the factory due to lack of raw materials and the need for substantial improvements. To resume operations, it would be necessary to carry out extensive upgrades of both equipment and buildings. The proposed resource rent tax means that Mowi must reassess all investment plans in Norway, including the construction of new and upgrading of existing factories. Given the uncertainty, it is not possible for Mowi to initiate this type of project today.
For the third year in a row, Mowi has received an "A" rating in Position Green's (formerly The Governance Group) ESG ranking of the 100 largest companies on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Mowi is commended for very good reporting in line with best practice and standards, a clear strategy and clear, quantified targets.
The world's largest beach clean-up event took place in September in Hardangerfjord in Western Norway, with staff from all Mowi Norway sites in the area involved. The event was organised by Rein Hardangerfjord and also ties into the Year of Volunteering in Norway. The aim of the project is to create a model on how to clean fjords in Norway and around the world.
Following the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in September, Mowi remembers the monarch with fondness and with pride. Mowi was appointed to the Royal Warrant in 1990. The Royal Warrant of Appointment was established in the 15th century as an approval of suppliers of specific goods and services to the Royal Household. Holders of the Royal Warrant are allowed to use the Royal Arms on their product and packaging and to display the designated crest on their premises.
Mowi awarded third place in Stockman Award 2022 In September, Mowi was awarded third place in the Stockman Award 2022 Open Class. The Stockman Award is a recognition granted by the Norwegian Financial Analysts' Association to listed companies in Norway. Mowi was praised for having highquality and robust financial disclosure, including Capital Markets Day, having clear financial targets and dividend policy, being clear on strategy and market information, and for its access to senior management.
The award follows Mowi's award for best investor relations team in 2019, winner of the Open Class in 2018 and second place Open Class in 2017.
The Board of Directors has decided to pay out NOK 1.70 per share in ordinary dividend for the third quarter, equivalent to 50% of underlying EPS.
Quarterly revenues were all-time high at EUR 1.26 billion and group Operational EBIT of EUR 240 million was Mowi's third-best quarterly financial result ever. As expected, prices in the third quarter corrected down from record-high levels in the second quarter on seasonally higher volumes and global supply growth of 7% compared with the same quarter last year. That being said, prices were still at a seasonally high level in Europe, the most important market for Atlantic salmon. Furthermore, Mowi's harvest volumes continued to grow in the quarter and reached a record-high level of 134k tonnes GWT which, coupled with high realised salmon prices, meant that profit in the Farming division was good. Consumer Products continued to deliver good results on strong sales to retail and solid operational performance. Feed entered high season and delivered its best-ever quarterly result, with profit of EUR 19 million supported by record-high volumes on high demand from Mowi Farming.
Despite another set of new operational records for Mowi, the third quarter was unfortunately completely overshadowed by the Norwegian government's infamous proposal for a resource rent tax of 40% on salmon farming, or 62% including corporate tax. Needless to say, such a tax level is completely disproportionate for a biological production process such as salmon farming given the risks entailed. Therefore, the Board respectfully advises the government to reconsider its tax proposal. The aquaculture industry is of great importance for the future of Norway and it is in the nation's best interests to see it grow. However, the proposed tax will severely damage the industry's ability and willingness to make investments. A tax rate of 62% will put an end to most of the many significant investment plans along the Norwegian coast, leading not only to reduced local employment levels now and in the future, but also to a massive diversion of funds away from coastal communities. Until agreement has been reached on a more viable framework for the industry all new structural investments in Mowi Norway have unfortunately been put on hold.
Mowi is a global company and salmon farming is not bound by geography – it can take place in sea and on land anywhere in the world, close to its major markets of which Norway is not one. If the proposal for 62% tax is approved by parliament then the Norwegian aquaculture industry faces the greatest setback in its 50-year history, and over time Norway stands to lose its leading position within aquaculture to other countries. In light of the proposal, the Board decided to cancel its June acquisition of 1% fixed-price growth of 914 tonnes MAB related to the traffic light system, as the company could no longer justify the purchase price of EUR 18 million. By extension, Mowi chose not to participate in the traffic light auction itself.
The proposal is now in a public consultation process until 4 January 2023 and Mowi will continue to work with all levels of Norwegian politics and other organisations to try and turn this anti-business proposal into a viable framework for the Norwegian aquaculture industry going forward.
One of Mowi Farming's strategic pillars is volume growth, and the Board is very pleased with the overall volume growth in our farming portfolio in recent years. In Norway for example volumes have grown from 210k GWT in 2017 to an expected level of 286k GWT in 2022, equivalent to a CAGR of 6.4%. This is an impressive achievement, putting Mowi towards the top of license utilisation and production efficiency in Norway, and demonstrates the strength of our Norwegian salmon farming operations and organisation. Group biomass has continued to grow throughout 2022 and Mowi's harvest volumes are expected to grow further in 2023 to 470k GWT, up from 460k GWT in 2022, which represent an annual growth of 6.2% adjusted for Canadian volume, and not including any volumes from Arctic Fish.
Harvest volumes in Canada are forecast to decline from 43k GWT in 2022 to 27k GWT in 2023 driven by reduced volumes in Canada West on the back of the government's earlier decision to phase out salmon farming activities in Discovery Islands, British Columbia and an uneven site-mix structure in 2023. Based on current stocking levels and an improved site mix, harvest volumes in Canada West are expected to stabilise at around 25k GWT from 2024 onwards. The turnaround process in Canada East continues and our focus remains on getting the basics right; once this is secured growth is expected to be accelerated. Contingent on further recovery in Canada East, long-term volumes in Canada should be around 50k GWT based on current site structure.
The Board is pleased that Mowi has entered into an agreement to acquire a majority stake in Arctic Fish. The company is a leading salmon farmer in Iceland, situated in the West Fjords with favourable conditions for salmon farming. The acquisition follows Mowi's strategy to grow farming volumes and completes our geographical farming footprint. Icelandic salmon volumes are expected to grow significantly in the years to come, and Arctic Fish is well positioned to take part in this growth journey. In 2022 the company is forecast to harvest 11k GWT, and with its 27,100 tonnes maximum allowed biomass and another 4,800 tonnes pending approval, the company is in the early stages of realising its full growth potential.
Results within Farming were good in the quarter due not only to strong prices and record-high volumes, but also relatively stable farming costs compared to the previous quarter, despite elevated mortality costs in Scotland and Ireland caused by issues with micro-jellyfish. The Board is pleased that the Farming business area experienced good growth performance in sea with improved net production and feed conversion ratio, clear evidence that the organisation continues to deliver good biological results. Mowi's relentless focus on farming volume growth, cost leadership and superior sustainability credentials continues unabated.
Consumer Products delivered record-high operational EBIT of EUR 30 million on solid operational performance across Mowi's processing plants in Europe, Americas and Asia. Sold volumes of 56,000 tonnes product weight were lower than last year but higher than prepandemic levels. Salmon normally fares well in challenging economic times and overall retail demand has so far continued to develop favourably; the Board expects the retail channel to continue to grow in the years ahead supported by unlocking the value potential embedded in distributing salmon as a value-added product.
Feed entered the high season and delivered the best quarterly result ever with profits of EUR 19 million supported by strong volumes and good feed performance. Despite increased sourcing cost for feed raw materials, the Feed segment delivered higher earnings compared to last year on improved factory throughput and efficient operations. In the past 12-months the Norwegian and Scottish feed plants have delivered approx. 375,000 tonnes and approx. 145,000 tonnes of feed, respectively. Production volumes are expected to grow further in 2023.
According to Kontali Analyse global supply growth for the remainder of 2022 and FY 2023 is modest at 1% which is supportive of a tight market balance in the time ahead. The forward NASDAQ price until end of 2023 is EUR 8.5 per kg.
The Board has decided to distribute NOK 1.70 per share for the third quarter as ordinary dividend, equivalent to 50% of underlying EPS.
Mowi has not identified any additional risk exposure beyond the risks described in note 3 of this report and the 2021 Annual Report. Reference is also made to the Planet section and the Outlook section of this report for other comments to Mowi's risk exposure.

Mowi (the Group) consists of Mowi ASA and its subsidiaries, including the Group's interests in associated companies.
These interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and as adopted by the European Union (EU). The interim financial statements do not include all of the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) for a complete set of financial statements, and these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements. The interim report is unaudited.
All significant accounting principles applied in the consolidated financial statements are described in the Annual Report for 2021 (as published on the Oslo Stock Exchange on March 30, 2022). No new standards have been applied in 2022.
Significant fair value measurements in accordance with IFRS 13:
Biological assets are, in accordance with IAS 41, measured at fair value, unless the fair value cannot be measured reliably. Broodstock and smolt are measured at cost less impairment losses, as the fair value cannot be measured reliably. Fair value of biological assets is calculated based on a cash flow-based present value model, which does not rely on historical cost. Cash inflows are calculated as functions of estimated volume multiplied with estimated price. Fish ready for harvest (mature fish) is valued at expected sales price with a deduction of cost related to harvest, transport etc. Sales costs are not deducted. For fish not ready for harvest (immature fish), the model uses an interpolation methodology where the known data points are the value of the fish when put to sea and when recognised as mature fish.
In accordance with IAS 41.16, a provision for onerous contracts is recorded by assessing if there are contracts in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the Group's obligations under the contract (where fair value adjustment of biological assets is included in the unavoidable costs) exceed the economic benefits expected to be received.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and recognised amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The most significant estimates relate to the valuation of biological assets and intangible assets. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis, and are based on the management's best assessment at the time of reporting. All changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they occur.
Mowi is exposed to a number of risk factors: Operational risks, strategic risk, reporting risk and compliance risk. The Risk Management section in the Annual Report contains a detailed description of risks and mitigation actions.
For management purposes, Mowi is organized into three Business Areas: Feed, Farming and Sales & Marketing. Feed and Farming are separate reportable segments. Sales & Marketing is divided in two reportable segments, Markets and Consumer Products.
The performance of the segments is monitored to reach the overall objective of maximizing the Operational EBIT per kg. Consequently, reporting is focused towards measuring and illustrating the overall profitability of harvested volume based on source of origin (Operational EBIT/kg).
The same accounting principles as described for the Group financial statements have been applied for the segment reporting.
