In connection with the presentation of the Q2 2014 results, Marine Harvest

Additional information
Operational EBIT for the Group was approximately NOK 870 million in Q3 2014
(NOK 793 million in Q3 2013).
Total operational EBIT per kg through the value chain were approximately as
follows for the main sources of origin:
* Norway NOK 9.6
* Scotland NOK 9.8
* Canada NOK 4.6
* Chile NOK 6.0
Exceptional mortality in the quarter impacted operational EBIT adversely by
about NOK 60 million in the quarter.
MH Feed generated an operational EBIT of about NOK 20 million at a production
volume of about 56 thousand tonnes in the quarter. As the feed production is
applied for internal purposes only, accounting practices prevent a realisation
of the segments profits in the Group accounts prior to harvesting of the fish
having consumed the feed.
Reported net interest bearing debt (NIBD) was approximately NOK 7,230 million by
the end of the quarter.
The full Q3 2014 report will be released on 22 October at 0700 CET.
This press release may be deemed to include forward-looking statements, such as
statements that relate to salmonid production volume. Actual events could
differ materially from those indicated by these statements because the
realization of those events is subject to many risks and uncertainties. Factors
that could affect actual events include: risks associated with fluctuations in
salmon prices, risks associated with the supply and demand of salmon, including
global economy, salmon prices and consumer preferences and operational risks, in
particular those relating to our cost in Norway. All forward-looking statements
included in this news release are based on information available at the time of
the release, and Marine Harvest assumes no obligation to update any forward-
looking statement.
This information is subject of the disclosure requirements pursuant to section
