5 Outlook and summary

A robust and strong sustainability profile

First of its kind hi-tech smolt facility with 100% green energy1

All Icelandic attributes preserved; low sea temperature and density

No antibiotics have ever been used on Arctic Fish sites

  • All fish sold and all sites in use have been ASC certified or accepted certified since 2016
  • The company was the first salmon farmer from Iceland to receive an ASC certification

Licenses enabling growth and production potential

Current license applications

  • Handed in an application for the expansion of the land based smolt production license from 1.000 tonnes to 2.400 tonnes.
  • Enlarged area and updated licenses in Patreksfjordur finalized. Enables 1 additional site and better licences utilization.

Markets and sales

  • The markets for salmon were substantially stronger in the quarter opposed to the previous year mostly due to Covid-19 affecting 2021 prices.
  • Despite the good market conditions the price achievement was not optimal as the volume harvested was at lower average weight than expected which impacted sales efforts.
  • Price achievement was affected to a further extent due to fixed price contracts, logistics and sales commission.
  • Proportionally there was a higher part of the sales that was sold on fixed price contracts that were under the spot prices.
  • Despite uncertainty, the forward prices for salmon are at high levels compared to 2021 and should remain at strong levels on average for the second half of the year.
  • Fixed price contracts will affect the price achievement in a less negative manner in the coming months due to the stabilizing forward prices and serve as a hedge against possible unfavorable market conditions.
