BIOFISH HOLDING AS: First quarter 2025 results
Ljones, 15 May 2025: BioFish delivered a strong quarter, marked by record-high
activity at the facility with increased volumes and price achievement compared
to the corresponding period last year. In the first quarter 2025, BioFish
delivered 323 tons of high-quality smolt and post-smolt, generating revenues
of NOK 34.5 million, up from NOK 17.2 million on 206 tonnes in the first
quarter of 2024.
"We are proud of our team and thankful for their dedication and hard work this
quarter, which has led to operational and financial progress. We continue to
receive positive feedback on the smolt and post-smolt we have delivered, and
biological performance at our facility remains strong," said Sondre Johnsrud,
CEO at BioFish.
BioFish has secured several new contracts in the first quarter with
long-standing customers. These agreements bring the total annual sales volume
to approximately 720 tons for 2025, 2026 and 2027. In addition, BioFish will
receive ~25 tons of smolt in April 2025 from an existing customer, which will
be delivered back in July. This will add ~120 tons to the expected total
post-smolt volume for 2025.
"We have implemented several strategic and organisational improvements in
2024, and we are now seeing the first results, including positive cash flow
and net profit. We are optimistic about the coming year, with over two-thirds
of the volume already sold, and we maintain a positive outlook on the
long-term demand for post-smolt," Johnsrud adds.
For 2025, BioFish expects to deliver 1,000-1,200 tons of high-quality smolt
and post-smolt, including contracts announced in the first quarter. Due to
customer preferences, some volumes originally scheduled for the second quarter
will now be delivered in the third quarter, but this will not affect full year
volume guidance. Additionally, BioFish sees potential for further capacity
from 2027 onward.
In early 2025, a strategic review was initiated to explore growth
opportunities for BioFish and increase shareholder value. The process is still
ongoing, with updates on outcomes to be expected by the end of the second
quarter of 2025.
The presentation material and report for the first quarter of 2025 are
attached to this notice.
