OUTSTANDING OPERATIONAL AND FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

  • EBIT/kg conversion
    • Norwegian industry 1/3
    • Bakkafrost 80%
  • Performance driven by
    • The unique Faroese regulatory framework
    • Business model adapted to market and biological requirements
    • Markets recognizing the uniqueness in taste, texture and nutrition

PERFORMANCE DRIVERS WITHIN THE FAROESE VETERINARY MODEL

THE SECRET BEHIND THE FAROESE BUSINESS MODEL

Structure of production zones

  • Strong regulatory framework
  • Few players to agree on coordination of unregulated matters avoids "tragedy of the commons"
  • Limited overlap of players within production zones
  • Autonomy to adjust production cycles/fallowing periods

Licenses

  • Existing licenses are operated on a 12-year rolling lifespan system with automatic renewal unless
    • Subject to regulatory compliance
  • Licenses give right to utilize given area of fjords for farming fish
  • No MAB, but strict regulative measures on farming activity maintaining environmental sustainability

ORGANIC GROWTH DRIVERS

LARGE SMOLT STRATEGY - CONCEPT

  • Risk management
  • Production efficiency
  • Growth

Larger smolt will reduce time of cycle in sea farming

  • Harvest cycle every second year from the same fjords until effect from larger smolt evolves
  • Smolt size will gradually increase from 100-200g to 500g by 2022
  • Smolt release will gradually increase from ~10-11 million pcs to ~16 million pcs
  • Production volume will gradually increase to ~76 thousand tonnes

HIGH LEVEL OF CAPITAL EMPLOYED WITH VERY COMPETITIVE RETURN

Property, Plant & Equipment vs. Intangibles

Return on Capital Employed

  • Bakkafrost has the highest capital employed per kg harvest
  • Significantly more capital tied up in PPE
    • State of the art infrastructure prepared for higher throughput

INVESTMENTS IN LARGE SMOLT IS CHEAPER THAN LICENCE AUCTION IN NORWAY

  • Large investments associated with large smolt strategy
  • A number of benefits, including capacity increase
  • Harvest increase of 20k tonnes
    • Auction Norway MNOK ~2,500
    • Large smolt MNOK ~1,000

Capital Markets Day Suðuroy and New Farming Technology Faroe Islands 12 June 2019

BACKGROUND NEW LICENCES

  • Bakkafrost acquired the company Faroe Farming in 2016
    • Prior to this, Faroe Farming was an associated company of Bakkafrost (49%)
  • Due to farming license cap in the Faroe Islands, Bakkafrost had to relinquish one license (Hov)
  • In 2018, Bakkafrost got licenses to all fjords in Suðuroy, but had to relinquish other licenses
  • Suðuroy was an underdeveloped area with unused potential
  • Bakkafrost is now sole operator in Suðuroy

  • Farming site Froðba A-15
  • Farming site Hov A-18
    • Hov was chosen to be relinquished because of license cap
  • Harvest facility was rented
  • Old fish processing facility not in use

Investment and changes until now

  • Farming site Hov A-18 in operation again
    • Other farming site relinquished instead of Hov A-18
  • Farming sites updated, e.g.
    • Move farming sites to outskirt of fjords
    • New feeding barges
    • 200 meter circumference cages
  • Updated old fish processing facility to new harvest facility
    • Investment ~ DKK 50 million

PLANNED INVESTMENTS IN SUÐUROY

    • Biological conditions
    • Seawater temperatures
  • Significant challenges, compared to traditional technology
    • Waves and current
    • Transportation requirements
    • Safety requirements
    • Investment and opex requirement
  • Method replicates the life of a wild salmon
    • Smoltification in fresh water

PRODUCTION CYCLE - EXAMPLE

FAROE ISLANDS' AND BAKKAFROST'S INFRASTRUCTURE MEET CRITERIA

  • Proven technology for protected waters can be adopted on an opportunistic basis
  • Bakkafrost has the best conditions to produce strong fish ready to meet ocean environment (offshore)
