CEO

Dear Shareholder

At Statt Torsk we have passed an important milestone. Our admission to trading at Euronext Growth was successful and has put the company in a good position for the coming years. We thank you for your confidence in us.

We are progressing well according to our plans to reach our goals.

A new branch of the seafood industry is now being built. Norway's long traditions in fisheries and seafood industry give us a solid base. Our experience, both as a company and team, secure that we will be an important part of the future of farmed cod.

We follow our step by step philosophy and lower the risk as we build a strong and solid company. Statt Torsk's focus is on

responsibility and products with a very small environmental footprint, based on sustainable production methods.

Together with our partner Lerøy Seafood we are in constant touch with the market, with focus on the uniqueness of our product both in quality as well as predictability.

We create value, jobs and an industry, in and for the local communities.

We have a lot of work ahead. Together with our employees, our partners and shareholders, we will succeed.

We are on our way!

Q1 2021 Financial update

  • The Board of Directors decided to do a capital increase by raising 115 mNOK in new equity. The process was completed in April. The new equity puts the company in a satisfactory position to execute on the planned expansion.
  • Statt Torsk prepared an application for admission to trading at Euronext Growth, and the company was successfully admitted to trading on 23. April 2021.
  • We have signed and contracted for 3 feed barges and 1 work boat that will be delivered in 2021 and 2022, according to plan.
  • No other major financial incidents derived from operational activities.

Q1 2021 Market update

  • Statt Torsk has delivered production from the 2 pilots to the European market through Lerøy Seafood and their highly developed international distribution system.
  • Based on these positive experiences, Statt Torsk has signed a 5 years partnership agreement with Lerøy Seafood covering marketing, sales and distribution.
  • The partners have started cooperation on a product- and marketing strategy, including a sales plan.
  • This plan acknowledges that we need to develop and mature the market for farmed cod, and that it will take time to establish the desired market-and price position.
  • We plan to harvest approximately 800 tons this fall. This will give us further valuable experiences and feed-back from the market. We will utilize this when our production output increases considerably in the coming years.

Q1 2021 Operational update

  • Entering 2021, we had 1 site at Stokkeneset in production. This facility launched a limited production volume in July 2020, which is planned for harvest and sales fall 2021. We expect to deliver 800 tons WFE from this batch.
  • We are well ahead of the planned growth curve and are overall positive on the growth development. This has been achieved despite colder water than normal in Q1, which limit weight increase.
  • Both feed factor and mortality rate are within expected development curves. Exact analysis cannot be done before harvest, but we are confident about the development.
  • Our second location, Rekvika, was inaugurated in Q1 and operation started in March, with a batch of fingerlings from Nofima. Batch 2 will arrive this summer from Havlandet. Based on this we plan to have our first major production batch of approx. 3000 tons WFE ready for harvest and sales during fall 2022.
  • We are continuously working on expanding our production capacity with new production locations. We have currently applied for 1 additional location, 2 is under preparations and 1 is under research.
  • On 26 May 2021, the Norwegian Institute of Marine Research issued a report on cod farming, based on a mandate from the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries dated 28 August 2020, on the knowledge on risk of impact on wild cod, especially genetic and ecological interactions and localization in relation to spawning and on-growing areas. We have reviewed the report, and it's our assessment that neither the report, nor the statements included therein will frustrate a continuation of our growth ambition, due to our limited environmental footprint and our sustainable production methods.
  • We have a strong focus on sustainability and will monitor and report on important KPI´s such as feed conversation ratio, CO2 emission, mortality rate and other measurable impact on environment. We have staffed up the organization and will develop tools and routines.

Q1 2021 Milestones

  • January: Fry received
  • January: Equity investment in Arctic Cod, 16,3%
  • February: Agreement with Arctic Cod for future deliveries of fingerlings
  • March: Market cooperation agreement with Lerøy
  • March: Agreement with Havlandet on future deliveries of fry
  • March: Agreement with Havlandet for possible JV of fingerlings facility in Florø
  • March: Site 2 Rekvika in operation, batch 1
