The FOF (fishmeal, oil and feed) segment produces fishmeal, fish oil and fish feed. Most of the production is used for fish feed, used internally. The quality of the fish feed is important to the quality of the salmon from Bakkafrost. Fishmeal, fish oil and fish feed are also sold externally.
Havsbrún received 77,971 tonnes (48,547 tonnes) of raw material to produce fishmeal and fish oil in Q1 2022. The raw material intake depends on the fishery in the North Atlantic and available species of fish.
The fishmeal production in Q1 2022 was 16,553 tonnes (10,498 tonnes).
The production of fish oil in Q1 2022 was 2,901 tonnes (1,641 tonnes). The production of fish oil varies depending on the species of fish sourced for production and the timing of catch.
Sales of fish feed amounted to 26,192 tonnes (23,717 tonnes) in Q1 2022. The FO farming segment internally used 15,725 tonnes (18,364 tonnes) or 60% (77%). The SCT farming segment internally used 9,298 tonnes (4,849 tonnes) or 35% (20%).

EBITDA was DKK 86 million (DKK 48 million) in Q1 2022, and the EBITDA margin was 20% (15%). Havsbrún sources raw pelagic fish for the fishmeal and fish oil production, which are part of the recipe to produce salmon feed.
The supply of salmon decreased 7.0% in Q1 2022, compared to Q1 2021 incl. inventory movements. Without inventory movements, the supply was 6.7% lower, according to the latest estimate from Kontali Analyse.
Salmon prices were 47.1% higher in this quarter compared to Q1 2021. Reduced supply, increased demand for salmon and general inflation on food prices have pushed salmon prices upwards. The demand for salmon has strengthened after Covid-19 restrictions have been lifted in most markets. This is reinforced by higher activity in the travel and hospitality industry.
In H1 2022, the global supply growth of Atlantic salmon is expected to be negative with around 7%, compared to H1 2021. Overall, the market supply of salmon in 2022 is expected to decrease around 1%, compared to 2021, including inventory movements.
Bakkafrost has a strong focus on ensuring a well-balanced flow to the different markets to increase diversification and mitigate the market risk. Bakkafrost operates in the main salmon markets, Europe, USA, and the Far East. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Bakkafrost has stopped all trading with Russia.
The biological performance in the Faroese farming operation has been strong in this quarter. Sea lice levels and mortality rates have all been low.
With Bakkafrost's new wellboat, Bakkafossur, which will have 7,000m3 tank capacity for seawater, 3,000m3 for freshwater and reverse osmosis system onboard, Bakkafrost's capabilities to further reduce the biological risks in the Faroe Islands will be further strenghtened.
The expansion of hatchery capacity in the Faroe Islands to fulfil Bakkafrost's goal to build an annual production capacity of over 23 million smolt of 500g in 2026 is progressing as planned. Operational adjustments and fine tuning have also been made in the smolt production at the Strond hatchery, which is now outperforming historical performance.
The farming operation in Scotland has performed much better in this quarter, compared to Q3 and Q4 2021. The main root-cause for the mortality in Scotland in H2 2021 was compromised gill health in combination with secondary complications, such as blooms of micro-jellyfish/hydrozoans and fish handling during necessary treatments and lack of fresh water treatment capacity. Towards the end of Q4 2021, the situation stabilised on somewhat elevated mortality rates, which for a few sites remained until the middle of Q1 2022. Hence, the situation improved during Q1 2022 and in March 2022, the Scottish farming segment did not have any exceptional mortality and the Scottish farming segment was profitable again.
Bakkafrost has implemented many changes in the Scottish farming operation, including a new farming strategy. The benefits from this is gradually emerging as salmon produced according to the new farming strategy is beginning to be harvested.
In March 2022, the Scottish farming operation was reinforced with a new wellboat with large freshwater treatment capacity. This more than doubled the freshwater treatment capacity in Scotland and is expected to play an important role in mitigating compromised gill health, hence reducing risk of mortality caused by secondary complications.
Bakkafrost's implementation of the large smolt strategy in Scotland is progressing well and the current expansion phase of the Applecross hatchery is expected to be finalised by the end of 2022. By then, the hatchery will have the capacity to produce around 8 million smolt at 250g. Further planned expansion of the Applecross hatchery will be finalised by end of 2023 and bring the total production capacity up to 10 million smolt at 500g.
New hatcheries will increase the total production capacity up to around 18 million smolt of around 500g in 2026. In Q1 2022 the average weight of released smolt in Scotland was 102g, which is 15% higher than in Q1 2021. In 2022 the average weight of in the released smolt in Scotland is expected to be around 120g.
During Q1 2022, Bakkafrost secured the land for the construction of the second large hatchery in Scotland. Depending on the final surveys, construction of the next large hatchery is expected to commence in H2 2022.
Having large smolt in Scotland is vital to transform the farming operation and reduce the biological risk in Scotland. It will however take time for Bakkafrost to materialise this as it takes time to build the necessary hatchery capacity.
Bakkafrost expects to release around 14.9 million large smolts in 2022 in the Faroe Islands and around 10.8 million smolts of around 120g in Scotland. The number and average weight of smolts released are key elements of predicting Bakkafrost's future production.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FO | 14.9 | 14.4 | 14.3 | 12.7 | 12.6 |
| SCT | 10.8 | 11.1 | 10.4 | 12.4 | 8.6 |
Harvest volumes for 2022 in the Faroe Islands are expected to reach 68,000 tonnes gutted weight and 35,000 tonnes gutted weight in Scotland, giving at total of 103,000 tonnes gutted weight.
The estimates for harvest volumes and smolt releases in both geographies are dependent on the biological development.
Bakkafrost's highly flexible value chain includes a state-of-the-art VAP factory with high capacity. This enables Bakkafrost to adapt well to the rapidly changing market situations.
Bakkafrost's long-term strategy is to sell around 40% of the harvested volumes of salmon as VAP products on contracts. The contracts are at fixed prices with a duration of between 6 to 12 months.
For 2022 Bakkafrost has signed contracts covering around 32% of the expected harvest volumes in the Faroe Islands and Scotland combined.
The outlook for production of fishmeal and fish oil is dependent on the availability of raw material.
The ICES 2022 recommendation for blue whiting is 753 thousand tonnes, which is a 19% reduction from the recommendation for 2021.
Bakkafrost expects the production volumes of fishmeal and fish oil in 2022 to be on similar levels as in 2021.
Havsbrún's sales of fish feed in 2022 is expected to be around 130,000 tonnes.
The major market for Havsbrún's fish feed is the local Faroese market, primarily Bakkafrost FO's internal use of fish feed, and the feed used in the Scottish farming operation.
Lately, the prices on vegetable raw materials have increased significantly. This affects the whole animal protein market as well as other food producers. Bakkafrost is in a relatively good competitive position due to the low inclusion of vegetable ingredients in the feed combined with low feed conversion ratio and good access to marine raw materials.
On the Capital Markets Day on 14-15 September 2021, Bakkafrost announced a 6.2bn DKK investment plan for 2022-2026. The investments will enable transformation of the operation in Scotland and provide sustainable growth in the Faroe Islands as well as Scotland.
The main purpose of the investments in Scotland is to replicate Bakkafrost's successful operation in the Faroe Islands. Bakkafrost will build 3 large energy-efficient hatcheries in Scotland, enabling the implementation of Bakkafrost's large smolt strategy and giving an annual production capacity above 18 million smolt at 500g. Having large smolt in Scotland will transform the performance, lower the biological risk and increase harvest volumes. In addition to building hatchery capacity, Bakkafrost plans to build a new processing plant to strengthen processing capabilities and Bakkafrost will also invest in more treatment vessel capacity to improve mitigation of biological risk. Further, Bakkafrost will make investments in marine site development.
The investments in the Faroe Islands include increasing annual hatchery production capacity to above 23 million smolt at 500g, investments in a broodstock facility and expansion of feed production capacity.
With the investment plan Bakkafrost expects to sustainably grow total annual harvest volumes to 150,000 tonnes in 2026. Over the same period, the total annual production capacity in Bakkafrost's value chain will reach 180,000 tonnes gutted weight.
6.2bn DKK Investment programme 2022-2026
The long-term market balance in the global market for salmon products will most likely remain favourable for Bakkafrost. Bakkafrost has a long value chain and a cost-efficient production of high-quality salmon products and will likely maintain the financial flexibility going forward.
In December 2021 (with closing in Q1 2022), Bakkafrost entered a term sheet for a sustainability-linked 700 mEUR multicurrency revolving credit facility agreement with an additional accordion option of 150 mEUR. The facility has a tenor of five years, and the facility agreement is planned for signing by the end of February 2022. In combination with Bakkafrost's high equity ratio, the facility gives the necessary financial strength and flexibility for the Group's investment plans aimed at significant organic growth and structural cost reductions in Scotland. It will also enable M&A's and further organic growth opportunities as well as support an unchanged dividend policy in the future.
Biological risk has been and will be a substantial risk for Bakkafrost. The Annual Report 2021 explains the biological risk and Bakkafrost's risk management in this regard.
Reference is made to the Outlook section of this report for other comments on Bakkafrost's risk exposure and Note 3.
Bakkafrost is, as explained in the Annual Report 2021, exposed to the salmon price.

Note 5.2 in Bakkafrost's Annual Report for 2021 provides detailed information on related parties' transactions.
Transactions between P/F Bakkafrost and its subsidiaries meet the definition of related party transactions. As these transactions are eliminated on consolidation, they are not disclosed as related party transactions.
All assets/liabilities, for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorised within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable).
Level 3: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable).
For biological assets, the fair value calculation is done using a valuation model (level 3 in the valuation hierarchy) where the value is estimated based on observable market prices per period end.
For more information on these calculations, please refer to Note 4.
For assets/liabilities that are recognised at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorisation (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement).
There have been no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
As of March 31st 2022, the Group held the following classes of assets/liabilities measured at fair value:
| DKK 1,000 | Cost | ||||

There were no new business combinations in 2021.
In a transaction closed on January 1st 2022, Bakkafrost acquired 90% of the shares in Munkebo Seafood A/S. The deal was jointly made with Michael Karlsen, who has been the General Manager of Munkebo Seafood for the past many years. The shares were acquired from Paul Lybech, who has been engaged with Munkebo Seafood for almost 25 years. Following the transaction, Michael Karlsen holds 10% of the shares in Munkebo Seafood A/S, while Bakkafrost holds 90%.
Munkebo Seafood A/S has, since its formation in 1974, been engaged in the production of canned fish at the factory in Munkebo in Denmark. Today, the company operates a modern canning facility and offers a wide range of products, of which a more significant share is based on salmon. Bakkafrost has been one of the largest suppliers of raw materials for Munkebo Seafood for the past few years, making Munkebo Seafood a significant extension of Bakkafrost's value chain. With a planned increase in production of salmon over the coming years, from Bakkafrost's farms in the Faroe Islands and Scotland, Munkebo Seafood will have a strengthened raw material base, and Bakkafrost will strengthen the ability to increase further the value derived from its salmon by-products.
The operations of Munkebo Seafood will remain unchanged. Munkebo Seafood has around 40 employees, and the products are currently sold mainly within the EU market to retail customers. The key employees of Munkebo AS will continue.
There is considerable spare production capacity for future growth within the current facility.
With the acquisition of Munkebo Seafood, Bakkafrost can now offer a broader range of products. Bakkafrost offers fresh, frozen, and smoked salmon products, and now canned food is added. Bakkafrost has a global sales network, and Munkebo Seafood's products will now be offered on a broader market as a supplement to Bakkafrost's other consumer packaged products.
The fair value of intangible assets has been determined on an estimated fair value. Fair value has been identified in customer relationships employing generally accepted valuation techniques. The market value of the customer relationship is measured at DKK 9.7 million.
The fair value of property, plant and equipment has been determined based on a 3rd party valuation.
The fair value of receivables has been determined based on an estimate of an age-distributed debtor list and historical figures on doubtful debtors.
The fair value of the inventory has been determined based on inventory lists, historical sales data, and subtraction of obsolete goods.

Bakkafrost's financial information is prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS). In addition, the management's intention is to provide alternative performance measures, which are regularly reviewed by the management to enhance the understanding of the company's performance, but not replacing the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The alternative performance measures presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. Bakkafrost's experience is that these APM's are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other parties.
These APM's are adjusted IFRS measures, defined, calculated, and used in a consistent and transparent manner over the years and across the company where relevant.
Net interest-bearing debt consists of both current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities, less related current and non-current hedging instruments, lease liabilities, financial instruments, such as debt instruments and derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. The net interest-bearing debt is a measure of the Group's net indebtedness that provides an indicator of the overall balance sheet strength. It is also a single measure that can be used to assess both the Group's cash position and its indebtedness. The use of the term net debt does not necessarily mean that the cash included in the net debt calculation is available to settle the liabilities included in this measure. Net debt is an alternative performance measure as it is not defined in IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is the aggregate interest-bearing liabilities (both current and non-current), derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. A reconciliation is provided below.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciations, and amortisations (EBITDA) is a key financial parameter for Bakkafrost's FOF segment. EBITDA before other income and other expenses is defined as EBITDA less gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets and operations and is reconciled in the section Group overview. This measure is useful to users of Bakkafrost's financial information in evaluating operating profitability on a more variable cost basis as it excludes depreciations and amortisation expenses related primarily to capital expenditures and acquisitions, which occurred in the past, nonrecurring items, as well as evaluating operating performance in relation to Bakkafrost's FOF segment's competitors. The EBITDA margin presented is defined as EBITDA before other income and other expenses divided by total revenues.
Return on average capital employed (ROCE) is defined as the period's operational EBIT divided by the average capital employed, which is total assets adjusted for total current liabilities. The performance measure is expressed as a percentage and is useful for evaluating Bakkafrost's profitability.
