Highlights Q1 2022

  • Q1 2022 net revenue of \$8.1m compared to \$9.1m in Q1 2021 following lower harvest tonnage of 506 tonnes in Q1 2022 compared to 543 tonnes in Q1 2021.
  • Net profit for Q1 2022 was -\$5.9m.
  • Application for 13 new sites submitted in Australia
  • \$2m grant request for first stage nursery in Australia approved by the Commonwealth of Australia.
  • First trial harvest of fish in Brunei, expanded license of first site and acquired land-based site for nursery ponds.

Q1 2022 Key Financials (Unaudited)

  • As of January 2022, the Company adopted the full capitalisation method for biological assets, in line with the reporting by other listed seafood companies. This means that all direct and indirect costs of producing the biomass are being capitalised as opposed to just juvenile and feed costs as was done prior to 2022. As such, prior period financials are not being presented as these are not comparable
  • Q1 2022 net revenue of \$8.1m compared to \$9.1m in Q1 2021 following biomass adjustment which reduced harvest tonnage from 543 tonnes in Q1 2021 to 506 tonnes in Q1 2022.
  • Other expenses consist of general and admin costs, HQ and costs associated with being a listed company.
  • New sites cost consists of costs incurred in the application of leases for new sites in Australia.
  • The full capitalization method results in a higher cost of biological assets and will result in a higher cost ex-farm at the time of harvest. As in Q1 2022 production costs have been higher than the fair value of the biomass, the negative difference is entered into the P&L.
