Arctic Fish Holding AS was incorporated on 1 October 2020. The Company is a holding company which owns 100% of the shares in Arctic Fish ehf, the former parent company of the Group, incorporated on 1 July 2011. Arctic Fish ehf. was founded in 2011 and is now one of the leading salmon farmers in Iceland, situated in the West Fjords, a region with favourable conditions for fish farming. The West Fjords are known for their pristine nature, good seawater conditions, low density, and high growth potential.
The Group has a modern and high capacity smolt facility with recirculating aquaculture systems ("RAS") technology, being currently the only RAS facility in Iceland with large-scale production capacity. 7,443 tonnes of head-on gutted ("HOG") salmon were harvested by the Group in 2020 and 11,479 tonnes HOG in 2021, or a 54% growth year over year. So far in 2022 the Group has harvested 4,221 tonnes.
The Group has farming licences for a total of 27.1 thousand tonnes maximum allowed biomass ("MAB"), of which 5.3 thousand tonnes relate to licences for rainbow trout that are in the process of being converted to salmon licences. The Group achieved a new 4,000 tonnes MAB license for salmon in Arnarfjordur in the quarter. This is a new license in a fjord and at a site that the Group has not operated in before.
The Group also has applications for an additional 4.8 thousand tonnes of MAB for salmon. Additionally, the Group holds a license for land based smolt production on its own land in Norðurbotn, which is required for the Group's ongoing smolt production.



The Group's principal activity is salmon farming, producing smolt in its own freshwater hatchery and farming salmon at sea before the fish is harvested and finally sold to the market.
The Group has a modern freshwater hatchery in Norðurbotn (Tálknafjörður), using RAS technology. The hatchery is the largest single investment by the Group at NOK 300 million and is 100% owned by Arctic Fish. It has access to natural water temperatures of between 6°C and 22°C all year round and good geothermic conditions. The hatchery has a proven record of smolt production, with roughly 13 million smolt having been produced at the hatchery since 2017. The Group also owns a 36.3 km2 land area near the smolt facility, which it is using for a smolt facility expansion. The construction project continues to stay on track, with timing and cost estimations both in line with expectations.
The Group's seawater sites are strategically located in all fjords on the West Coast of Iceland, with eight sites with granted licenses, and another two sites with license applications pending. This ensures that production may be alternated to minimise biological risk with a proven low mortality rate and feed conversion ratio.
The Group currently holds licenses for a production capacity of 27,100 tonnes
MAB with additional applications for 4,800 tonnes MAB that the Group expects to receive in 2022. Existing licenses are divided into 21,800 tonnes MAB of salmon and 5,300 tonnes MAB of trout that is in process of being converted to salmon licenses in 2022 as well.


All processing of the Group's salmon is currently handled externally through a contractor at a processing facility in Bildudalur, Arnarfjörður. When the fish are ready for harvesting, the fish are transported from different locations with well boats. The Group has already made decisions that relate to increasing harvesting capacity. The Group considers the current slaughtering price as high and there is ongoing work on new and more modern harvesting solutions that will decrease the slaughtering price.
The fish are currently sold "Free Carriage" through a sales agreement with Seaborn AS, a major distributor of Icelandic and Norwegian salmon. The Group has a global footprint with sales in all major markets, with strategic marketing activities focussing in the long term on more high paying markets. Current export routes have developed positively, and there is potential to enter new markets in the future efficiently.

The first quarter's performance will be broken down into the main operating categories, investments, and financing. In brackets some historical performance for the year 2021 is provided.
(Figures in brackets = 2021, unless otherwise specified).
Arctic Fish posted operating revenues of NOK 282.5 million (Q1 2021: NOK 168.8 million) in the first quarter of 2022, an increase of 67.3% from the corresponding prior-year period. The Group achieved a negative operational EBIT of NOK -45.0 million (Q1 2021: NOK 17.8 million), a decrease of NOK 62.8 million year over year, due to the incident in Dyrafjordur which accounted for a non-recurring cost of 129 MNOK.
The Group recognised a positive fair value adjustment of NOK 24.3 million (Q1 2021: NOK 40.3 million) of the biomass in sea, a decrease of NOK 16.0 million compared to the corresponding quarter in 2021. The positive fair value adjustment in the quarter can be attributed to high forward price indications.
From farming operations, the company harvested 4,221 tonnes (Q1 2021: 3,793 tonnes) gutted weight in the quarter, an increase of 11% from the corresponding quarter last year. The operations achieved a farming operational EBIT pr. kg of NOK 20.4 (Q1 2021: NOK 5.7 pr. kg). The increase in operational EBIT pr. kg is due to significantly higher salmon price achievement on the harvested quantities sold, with production costs increasing year over year.
Net financial gains were NOK 8.9 million in the quarter (Q1 2021: NOK 17.3 million). The gains in the quarter relate to favourable currency change differences.

Q1 report 2022
At the end of the reporting period, total assets amounted to NOK 1,446 million, an increase of NOK 12.5 million from the prior period (Q4 2021). The change in total assets is attributable to several factors. Property, plant, and equipment increased by NOK 83.8 million. Receivables increased by NOK 13.2 million, and bank deposits increased by NOK 95.8 million. Biological assets and feed inventories decreased by 176.1 million NOK. The increase is due to additional investments and increased bank deposits, whilst the only significant lowering of assets is related to the mortality and consequent harvesting which decreased the biological assets substantially.
The Group's net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) decreased by NOK 104 million, from NOK 316 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2021 to NOK 212 million at the end of the first quarter 2022. The decrease is for the most part attributable to investments in fixed assets, negative EBITDA effects and working capital changes.

At the end of the quarter, the Group's equity totalled NOK 960 million, a decrease of NOK 15 million from the end of the previous quarter. The equity ratio at the end of the quarter was 66%.
The Group sells all harvested salmon FCA Bildudalur. The sold volume HOG was 4,221 tonnes in the quarter (in Q1 2021 3,793 tonnes. The average price in

Q1 report 2022
the quarter was 66.9 NOK pr.kg (in Q1 2021 the average price was 44.5 NOK pr. kg). The salmon prices developed positively due to strong market conditions. The achieved salmon price improved by 22.4 NOK pr. kg. compared to Q1 2021, or an increase of 50%. The price achievement increased by 10.3 NOK pr. kg from Q4 2021. The price achievement in the quarter was impacted by the incident in Dyrafjordur, and despite the good market conditions the price achievement was not optimal as the excess volume, and emergency harvesting with consequent quality issues impacted sales efforts.
The biomass at the end of the quarter was 5,315 tonnes in the sea and the closing average weight was close to 1.7 kgs, resulting in both smaller fish and less biomass in the sea compared to Q4 2021 (at the end of Q4 2021 the biomass was 11,477 tonnes in the sea and the closing average weight was close to 2.5 kgs).
The production cost was 46.5 NOK pr kg in the quarter, which was the same as in the previous quarter.


In the smolt facility at the end of the period there are 7.0 million fry and smolt at an average weight of 19.2 grams, compared to 5.6 million fry and smolt at an average weight of 37.8 grams last year.
There has been extraordinarily high mortality in Dyrafjordur, at two of our sites in the fjord. Due to this incident, there was a write down of biological assets and non-recurring costs for dead fish handling.
Due to this situation, there was a write down of biological assets and nonrecurring costs for dead fish handling which is estimated at 129 MNOK in the quarter up from 106 M NOK estimated in the Q4-21 report. Total realized mortality due to the incident was 2.512 tonnes LW, which is a reduction from the 3.0 thousand tonnes LW reported in the Q4-21 report.
The harvesting estimates for the year 2022 will be 10.6 thousand tonnes GW and 13.0 thousand tonnes GW for the year 2023.
The highest mortality was in cages with the highest average weight. Examination leads to the cause that the mortality was related to circulation problems, suboptimal gill conditions and Heart and Skeletal Muscle Inflammation (HSMI). HSMI are characterized as endemic in Iceland.
Mitigation measures in the operational planning and execution are implemented to reduce biological risk and avoid similar incidents. Additionally, an emphasis is put on securing the needed harvesting capacity.

Q1 report 2022
Arctic Fish Holding was admitted to trading on the Euronext Growth Oslo under the trading symbol "AFISH" with an Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the 19th of February 2021. The listing and private placement before attracted very strong interest from Norwegian, Icelandic, Nordic, and international high-quality institutional investors.
As of 31 st of March 2022 the company has 31,876,653 shares outstanding and Arctic Fish Holding does not own any of its own shares. The share price at the start of the quarter was 91.40 NOK pr. share. Closing price at the end of Q1 22 was 91.40 NOK pr. share, or unchanged from last quarter. The stock traded at a high of 91.41 and a low of 82.00 within the quarter. 267 trades were executed, with the number of shares traded amounting to 84,791 shares.


The groups future outlook is slightly compromised from earlier predictions and forecasts due to the mortality incident in Q1 of 2022 mentioned in the previous chapter. With the new estimate on lower harvesting quantities than originally planned, the group is yet very optimistic on continuing strong market performance moving forward and believes that it can generate a healthy margin on sold quantities throughout the year.


Construction project expenditure related to the smolt expansion were the key investments in the quarter. A new building that is under consideration as a future harvesting facility was purchased in the quarter. Minor investments were made in farming and other smaller smolt production investments.
The Group achieved a new 4,000 tonnes MAB for salmon in Arnarfjordur. This is a new license in a fjord and at a site that the Group has not operated in before. Within the course of 2022 the Group expects to receive the following salmon sea farming license:
▪ Conversion of 5,300 tonnes of trout licenses to salmon licenses and further expansion up to 10,100 tonnes in Ísafjarðardjúp.

In accordance with IAS 41, the biomass is recognised at fair value. The fair value is calculated in accordance with IFRS 13. Adjustments to the fair value of the biomass are presented on a separate line in the income statement. The technical model for calculating fair value is a present value model. Present value is calculated for the biomass on each site/project by estimating the future sales value less remaining production costs discounted to the present value at the balance sheet date.
The fair value of fish in the sea is calculated in the present value model as a function of the expected biomass at the time of harvest multiplied by the expected sales price. For fish that are not harvestable, estimated remaining costs to breed the fish to its harvestable weight are deducted. Cash flows are discounted monthly using a discount factor. The discount factor consists of three main components: 1) risk for events that affect cash flow, 2) hypothetical license and site rent and 3) the time value of money. The discount factor used is 4%. Expected biomass (volume) is based on the estimated number of individuals in the sea, adjusted for expected mortality until harvesting and multiplied by the expected harvest weight per individual at the time of harvest. The measuring unit is the individual fish, but for practical reasons the calculation is made on site level. Live weight of fish in the sea is translated into gutted weight to get the same measurement unit as the prices are set in.
The price is calculated based on forward prices from Fish Pool. The forward price for the period in which the fish expected to be harvested, is used in the calculation of expected cash flow. The price quoted by Fish Pool is adjusted to reflect an ex harvesting plant price achievement and is a reference price. This price is further adjusted for expected harvest costs (well boat, harvest and packing, sales commission), and the governmental production taxes. Adjustments for expected size differences and quality differences are also made. The adjustment in relation to the reference price is done at site level.

The principle of highest and best use, according to IFRS 13 is the basis for the valuation and classification. In the fair value calculation, optimal harvest weight is defined as harvest weight according to harvest plans.
