Net interest-bearing debt has decreased as a result of positive operational cash flow, mainly related to working capital release since Q4 has a lower biomass build-up as a result of biological seasonality.
Capital Expenditures overall have a minimal impact in the quarter due to lesser investments this year.
As previously mentioned, in 2023 the main reason for the increase in NIBD can be traced to substantial investments in the value chain.
CAPEX was minimal in the quarter as was the intention. Minor investments were made in farming and other smaller production-based equipment.






Appendix

Additionally, the Group holds a license for land-based smolt production on its own property in Norðurbotn, with a current annual production capacity of 1,000 tonnes. The Group has initiated the process and application to increase this capacity to 2,400 tonnes.
