Outlook and Operational Performance

Market

Supply increased in Q1 2025

The supply of salmon increased 5.3% in Q1 2025 compared to Q1 2024, incl. inventory movements. Without inventory movements, the supply increase was 8.4%, according to the latest estimate from Kontali Analyse.

Lower salmon prices in Q1 2025

Salmon reference prices (in NOK) for 4-5kg superior salmon were 18.1% lower this quarter compared to Q1 2024. The price reduction was largely driven by increased supply resulting from improved biology in Norway. Most of the other producing regions contributed to the supply growth, except Canada.

6-7% growth in 2025

The global supply is expected to increase around 7% in H1 2025. In H2 2025, the global supply is expected to grow around 6%, compared to H2 2024. For the full year 2025, the global supply is expected grow around 6-7%.

Overall, the salmon market has been affected by larger than expected supply. Improved biology in Norway has also led to lower share of production fish being sold to the market. These factors impacted the market dynamics in the quarter leading to lower salmon prices, compared to previous years.

Bakkafrost has a strong focus on ensuring a well-balanced flow to the different markets to increase diversification and mitigate market risk. Bakkafrost operates in the main salmon markets, Europe, the USA, and the Far East. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Bakkafrost has stopped all trading with Russia.

Farming

The biological performance in Q1 2025 in the Faroese farming operation continued showing strong performance. Harvest weights have been high and sea lice levels well under control. Feeding, growth and survivability rates have all have been high. These positive trends indicate strong future performance as the fish are expected to thrive and contribute significantly to the operation's success.

The Faroese freshwater operation is continuing to increase the production volume of large high-quality smolt. The capacity utilization is expected to continue growing, leading to increased production volume. The volume is projected to rise slightly in 2025, with smolt weights a bit higher than in 2024. The current hatchery capacity in the Faroes allows for an annual smolt production of 9,000 tonnes, equalling 18 million smolt of 500g. This will increase to 24 million smolt of 500g when the ongoing construction of the new hatchery in Skálavík will be finished late 2026. The construction of the hatchery progresses according to plan.

In Q1 2025, the average weight of transferred smolt in the Faroe Islands was 421g, which is 10% higher than in 2024.

The farming operation in Scotland has performed strongly in Q1 2025. Mortality levels are normally lower in the first quarter than the rest of the year. This has also been the case in this quarter. Overall, the health condition of the fish has been good. Sea lice levels have been managed well and average harvest weights have been exceptionally high.

As earlier announced, Bakkafrost is following a de-risking strategy for the Scottish marine farming in 2025, similar to 2024. Bakkafrost expects to harvest around 67% of the annual volume in H1 2025 with good average weights. Ahead of Q3, harvest weights will probably reduce as some sites are emptied to reduce risk.

During 2025, the biomass at sea will gradually change character, transitioning to be based on high-quality smolt. This strategic shift is expected to enhance overall fish health and growth rates, leading to a more robust and sustainable aquaculture environment.

In the Scottish freshwater operation, the main priority is to ensure a steadily growing output of large high-quality smolt from Applecross which is currently in the ramp-up phase to deliver fish above 200g in 2025. This is not a straight-line development, but a delicate and gradual process involving some level of risk which reduces as the operation is finetuned, and all procedures executed at least once. Production volume and smolt release will increase throughout the year and into 2026. With the new Applecross 5 module now in production, the production capacity is around 3,500 tonnes of smolt annually. This capacity will be utilised to make Bakkafrost self-sufficient with around 14 million high-quality smolt of 250g.

Another priority in 2025 is the completion of the Applecross phase 6 and 7, which will improve the biosecurity in the smolt production and add flexibility.

In Q1 2025, the average weight of transferred smolt from Applecross in Scotland was 232g, which is 80% higher than in Q1 2024. The average smolt weight for all of Bakkafrost's smolt release in Scotland in the quarter was 169g, which is 40% higher than in Q1 2024.

Smolt transfer

Bakkafrost's expected smolt transfer in 2025 in the Faroe Islands is around 18.5 million smolts with an average weight of around 430g. In Scotland, the smolt transfer in 2025 is expected to be around 10.0 million smolts with an average

BAKKAFROST | INTERIM REPORT | Q1 2025 5

weight of above 200g. The number and average weight of smolts transferred are key elements of predicting Bakkafrost's future production.

In 2025, Bakkafrost expects to harvest around 77,000 tonnes gutted weight in the Faroe Islands and 20,000 tonnes gutted weight in Scotland, giving a total of around 97,000 tonnes gutted weight. The quarterly harvest profile is outlined in in the table below. Biological, environmental and market conditions can affect the expected harvest profile.

Expected harvest profile in 2025 as a % of total harvest pr. region:

Region Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4
FO 25% 19% 29% 27%
SCT 31% 36% 16% 16%

The estimates for harvest volumes and smolt transfers in both geographies are dependent on biological development.

Sales & VAP (Value added products)

Bakkafrost's highly flexible value chain includes state-of-theart VAP processing capacity, which enables the company to adapt effectively to rapidly changing market situations.

As a result of changes in the Faroese revenue tax, Bakkafrost has adjusted the strategy for contracted VAP (Value-Added Products) to reduce contract exposure.

For 2025, Bakkafrost intends to sign contracts covering around 15-20% of the expected harvest volumes in the Faroe Islands and Scotland combined.

FOF (Fishmeal, oil and feed)

The outlook of fishmeal and fish oil production is dependent on the availability of raw materials.

The ICES 2025 recommendation for blue whiting is 1,447 thousand tonnes, which represents a -5.4% decrease from the recommendation for 2024.

In 2025 Bakkafrost expects similar production volumes of fishmeal and fish oil as in 2025.

Bakkafrost expects the feed production at Havsbrún to be around 150,000 tonnes in 2025. Close to all of this will be sold internally to Bakkafrost's Faroese and Scottish Farming segments.

Investments

On the Capital Markets Day on 6 June 2023, Bakkafrost announced a 6.3bn DKK investment plan for 2024-2028. The investrments will enable a transformation of the operation in Scotland and provide sustainable growth in the Faroe Islands as well as Scotland.

The main purpose of the investments in Scotland is to replicate Bakkafrost's successful operation in the Faroe Islands. A part of this is to implement Bakkafrost's large smolt strategy in Scotland, which is achieved through building sufficient and energy-efficient hatchery capacity. The 2024-2028 investment plan includes projects to build hatchery capacity to produce above 15 million large smolts annually. Having large smolt in Scotland will transform the performance, lower the biological risk and increase harvest volumes. In addition to building hatchery capacity, Bakkafrost plans to strengthen the processing capabilities and increase flexibility in operation. Bakkafrost will also invest in more service vessel capacity to improve the mitigation of biological risk and improve the cost of operation. Further, Bakkafrost will make investments in marine site development.

The investments in the Faroe Islands include increasing annual hatchery production capacity to around 24 million smolts at 500g, cost-efficient repurposing of old hatcheries into broodstock operation, expansion of feed production capacity and obtaining growth through optimization of existing sites and new technology.

With the investment plan, Bakkafrost expects to sustainably grow the total annual harvest volumes to 165,000 tonnes in 2028. Over the same period, the total annual production capacity in Bakkafrost's value chain will reach 200,000 tonnes gutted weight.

2024-2028 6.3bn DKK Investment programme vs. 2022-2026 6.2bn DKK investment programme (DKK 1,000)

2024-2028 Investment programme per category (DKK 1,000)

Update on the 2024-2028 investment plan

Since the announcement of the 2024-2028 investment plan, Bakkafrost has decided to change the priority of some of the investment projects in Scotland, including the second planned hatchery at Fairlie and new processing facility. Consequently, the capex spend in 2024 and 2025 is expected to reduce around 800 mDKK in total, compared to the investment levels announced in the 2024-2028 investment plan.

Bakkafrost will host the next Capital Markets Day on 16- 17 June 2025 in the Faroe Islands.

Financial

The global salmon product market's long -term balance is likely to favour Bakkafrost. Bakkafrost has a long value chain and a cost -efficient production of high -quality salmon products and will likely maintain financial flexibility going forward.

In March 2022, Bakkafrost secured a 700 mEUR sustainability -linked credit facility (expandable by 150 mEUR) with a 5 -year term and 2 -year extension options which have been executed. This facility, along with Bakkafrost's strong equity ratio, bolsters the Group's financial strength for organic growth and cost reduction in Scotland, while also facilitating M&A and future organic growth opportunities, and upholding an unchanged dividend policy .

Volumes

In Q1 2025, Havsbrún received 109,502 tonnes (136,874 tonnes) of raw material for fishmeal and fish oil production. The raw material intake depends on the North Atlantic fisheries and available species of fish. The ratio of fishmeal to fish-oil output therefore varies with both the mix of species landed and the timing of the fishery.

The fishmeal production in Q1 2025 was 22,864 tonnes (29,202 tonnes). Fish oil production in Q1 2025 was 3,047 tonnes (3,689 tonnes).

Fish feed sales amounted to 31,338 tonnes (27,046 tonnes) in Q1 2025. The FO farming segment internally used 23,245 tonnes (17,956 tonnes). The SCT farming segment internally used 7,697 tonnes (8,919 tonnes).

Financial Performance

The operating revenue for the FOF segment amounted to DKK 487 million (DKK 739 million) in Q1 2025. Total revenue for the FOF segment in Q1 2025 was lower than the same quarter last year. The decrease in revenue is due to reduced sold volumes of both fish oil and fishmeal.

Operational EBIT was DKK 65 million (DKK 177 million) in Q1 2025, and the operational EBIT margin was 13% (24%).

Freshwater Segments

The two Freshwater segments both include broodstock and smolt production in hatcheries on land. In the broodstock operation, eggs are produced from breeding self-owned salmon strains. Eggs are sold to the hatcheries who in turn produce from egg to smolt, which are sold to the Farming operations in the Faroe Islands and Scotland. There are two similar Freshwater segments – one in the Faroe Islands and one in Scotland. The Freshwater segments rely on certain services provided by the Services segment, such as waste handling for biogas production.

DKK 482 million, DKK 86 million, and DKK 64 million relate to the Freshwater, FOF, and Farming segments in the Faroe Islands, respectively. DKK 129 million and DKK 66 million relate to the Freshwater and Farming segments in Scotland, respectively. DKK 19 million and DKK 4 million relate to other investments in the Faroe Islands and in Scotland, respectively.

Note 7. Transactions with Related Parties

Note 5.2 in Bakkafrost's Annual Report for 2024 provides detailed information on related parties' transactions.

Transactions between P/F Bakkafrost and its subsidiaries meet the definition of related party transactions. As these transactions are eliminated on consolidation, they are not disclosed as related party transactions.

Note 8. Fair Value Measurements

As of Three Months Ended 31 Mar 2025, the Group held the following classes of assets/liabilities measured at fair value:

DKK 1,000

Cost
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value Fair value amount Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Biological assets (biomass) 2,720,615 2,724,202 0 0 2,720,615
Assets measured at fair value 31/03-2025 2,720,615 2,724,202 0 0 2,720,615
Liabilities measured at fair value 31/03-2025 0 0 0 0 0
Biological assets (biomass) 3,138,657 2,766,132 0 0 3,138,657
Assets measured at fair value 31/12-2024 3,138,657 2,766,132 0 0 3,138,657
Liabilities measured at fair value 31/12-2024 0 0 0 0 0

All assets/liabilities for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable).

Level 3: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable).

For biological assets, the fair value calculation uses a valuation model (level 3 in the valuation hierarchy) where the value is estimated based on observable market prices per period end.

For more information on these calculations, please refer to Note 4.

For assets/liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement).

There have been no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.

Note 9. Business Combinations

There have not been any new business combinations in 2025, nor in 2024.

Note 10 Alternative Performance Measures

NIBD

Net interest-bearing debt consists of both current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities, less related current and non-current hedging instruments, lease liabilities, financial instruments, such as debt instruments and derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. The net interest-bearing debt is a measure of the Group's net indebtedness that provides an indicator of the overall balance sheet strength. It is also a single measure that can be used to assess both the Group's cash position and its indebtedness. The use of the term net debt does not necessarily mean that the cash included in the net debt calculation is available to settle the liabilities included in this measure. Net debt is an alternative performance measure as it is not defined in IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is the aggregate interest-bearing liabilities (both current and non-current), derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. A reconciliation is provided below.

EBITDA

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortizations (EBITDA) is a key financial parameter for Bakkafrost's FOF segment. EBITDA before other income and other expenses is defined as EBITDA less gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets and operations and is reconciled in the section Group overview. This measure is useful to users of Bakkafrost's financial information in evaluating operating profitability on a more variable cost basis as it excludes depreciation and amortization expenses related primarily to capital expenditures and acquisitions, which occurred in the past, nonrecurring items, as well as evaluating operating performance in relation to Bakkafrost's FOF segment's competitors. The EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA before other income and other expenses divided by total revenues.

ROCE

Return on average capital employed (ROCE) is the period's operational EBIT divided by the average capital employed, which is total assets adjusted for total current liabilities. The performance measure is expressed as a percentage and is useful for evaluating Bakkafrost's profitability.
