Highlights

  • Q4 operational EBIT of EUR 49 million in line with trading update
  • Second wave of Covid-19 and high seasonal supply significantly impacted spot prices in Farming
  • − Shortfall in the foodservice market not fully offset by strong growth in retail sales (net effect approx. -5%)
  • All-time high quarterly and full-year Farming volumes of 127k GWT and 440k GWT, respectively
  • Blended farming cost of EUR 4.28/kg, down from EUR 4.40/kg YoY
  • Completed 2020 cost savings program with annual savings of EUR 35 million
  • − Initiated new global EUR 25 million cost savings program
  • Record high Q4 and full-year volumes of 70k tonnes and 239k tonnes, respectively, in Consumer Products on shift in demand towards elaborated products
  • Record high quarterly and full-year volumes in Feed of 153k tonnes and 540k tonnes, respectively
  • Mowi yet again ranked as the world's most sustainable protein producer (Coller FAIRR)
  • Divestment of shares in DESS Aquaculture Shipping in January 2021, realised gain of EUR 54 million
  • Quarterly ordinary dividend of NOK 0.32 per share

Adjusted dividend policy

  • Dividend has been an important component of Mowi's financial strategy and to make dividend payments more predictable and transparent the Board has decided to operationalise the dividend policy by introducing ordinary and extraordinary dividends.
  • Mowi's ambition is to create long-term value for the shareholder through both positive share price development and a growing dividend in line with long-term earnings.
  • Quarterly ordinary dividend shall under normal circumstances be at least 50% of underlying earnings per share (EPS).
  • Excess capital will be paid out as extraordinary dividends.
  • − When deciding excess capital the Board of Directors will take into consideration expected cash flow, capital expenditure plans, financing requirements and appropriate financial flexibility. Further to this a long-term target level for net interest-bearing debt is determined, reviewed and updated on a regular basis.
  • Shareholder returns are distributed primarily as cash dividends with the option of using share buybacks as a complementary supplement on an ad-hoc basis.
  • Based on this, the Board has decided to pay NOK 0.32 per share in ordinary dividend in the first quarter of 2021, equivalent to 50% of underlying EPS in the fourth quarter of 2020.

  • Low price level and a shift in demand towards more elaborated products expected to boost demand post Covid-19
  • Mowi well positioned to capitalise on a recovery
  • Farming volume guidance of 445k GWT for 2021 reiterated
  • Sustainability aspects of salmon farming will be even more important going forward
  • − Mowi ranked the most sustainable animal protein producer
  • − Farmed salmon ranked as the most sustainable animal protein

Dividend policy

  • Mowi's ambition is to create long-term value for the shareholder through both positive share price development and a growing dividend in line with long-term earnings
  • − Quarterly ordinary dividend shall under normal circumstances be at least 50% of underlying earnings per share (EPS)
  • − Excess capital will be paid out as extraordinary dividends
  • When deciding excess capital the Board of Directors will take into consideration expected cash flow, capital expenditure plans, financing requirements and appropriate financial flexibility. Further to this a long-term target level for net interest-bearing debt is determined, reviewed and updated on a regular basis
  • Shareholder returns are distributed primarily as cash dividends with the option of using share buybacks as a complementary supplement on an ad-hoc basis

Hedging and long term currency exposure - policies

  • USD/CLP
  • − Mowi shall not hedge the USD/CLP exposure
  • Internal transaction hedging relating to bilateral sales contracts
  • − All bilateral sales contracts are subject to internal currency hedging of the exposure between the invoicing currency and EUR
