– pioneered by Måsøval Made by nature

Måsøval is a pioneer in Norwegian aquaculture – working with nature since 1973. Along the coast of Central Norway, we raise Atlantic salmon in cold, clear waters, combining biological expertise, long-term perspective, and a handson approach to every part of our operations.

As a fully integrated salmon producer – from smolt to sales – we maintain the insight and flexibility needed to make informed decisions. Our model enables precision, strong biological control, and continuous improvement across every stage of production.

Grounded in biological understanding and a culture of learning, we adapt in step with our environment – always guided by the principles that matter most: fish welfare, environmental responsibility, and long-term value creation.

More than 50 years since our journey began, we remain guided by the same pioneering spirit that set us on our path – still convinced that the future belongs to those who dare think differently and have the courage to act when others hesitate.

Key Figures Q1 2025

STATEMENT OF PROFIT AND LOSS

To provide more detailed information about our farming segment and disentangle value creation on our own licences and operation of partner licences (co-location), we have from Q1 2025 specified colocation as a third farming division. This implies net result from co-location partners are included in "Operational EBIT".

Comparative figures for 2024 and Q1 2024 are restated to reflect the change in accounting related to our co-location partners to be comparable with reported figures for 2025.

Changes implies that we present revenues related to farming services to our co-location partners gross See Note 9 for a specification of the restatement effects.

(1) Operational EBIT adjusted for production tax and fair value adjustment biomass.

(2) EPS excl. net fair value adjustment biomass and one-off implementation effects of resource rent tax.

In the first quarter of 2025 operating revenues amount to MNOK 681, an increase from MNOK 432 same quarter last year. The increased revenue is mainly attributable to higher sales volume (7 051 tonnes vs 3 611 tonnes), increased harvesting activity, and more farming services to co-location partners.

In Q1 the Group's operational EBIT was MNOK 22, a reduction from MNOK 109 Q1 last year.

After net financial expenses of MNOK 47, and net negative fair value adjustment of biomass of MNOK 217, the Group reports a loss before tax of MNOK 247. Total tax income amount to MNOK 117.

BALANCE SHEET

At the end of Q1 2025, total assets amounted to MNOK 4 930, a decrease of MNOK 312 from the previous quarter. Total property, plant and equipment decreased by MNOK 40. Further, biological assets held at sea decreased with MNOK 233 from the previous quarter mostly reflecting lower forward prices and thereby a negative change in fair value adjustment. Biomass at sea is reduced by 162 tonnes from 12 165 tonnes to 12 003 tonnes. In addition, the value of smolt and post-smolt decreased with MNOK 5.

The Group's net interest-bearing debt decreased by MNOK 65 compared to the previous quarter and amounted to MNOK 2 135 at end of the quarter.

At the end of the reporting quarter, the Group's total equity amount MNOK 1 741. Equity decreased by MNOK 130 compared to the previous quarter.

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW

Operating activities yielded a positive cash flow of MNOK 111 for the Group in Q1 2025. Net decreased working capital had a positive cash flow effect. Accounts receivables decreased by MNOK 62, while accounts payables decreased by MNOK 24.

Investing activities had a negative cash flow effect amounting to MNOK 10.

Decreased utilisation of the overdraft facility with MNOK 119 was financed by increased utilisation of the revolving credit facility amounting to MNOK 150. Other financial activities amounted to negative MNOK 85 mostly reflecting repayments of borrowings, leases and interest. Payments of interest on borrowings amounted to MNOK 29, repayment of long-term borrowings and lease liabilities amounted to MNOK 55.

FINANCIAL POSITION

In Q1 2025, the equity ratio is stable as a result of a negative result of MNOK 130 being matched by a reduced balance sheet total of MNOK 312. The equity ratio ended the quarter at 35.3%, down from 35.7% last quarter.

The Group's bank overdraft, term loan and revolving credit facility are governed by covenants set by the bank. The covenant requirements include a 12-month rolling interest coverage ratio of 3X EBITDA estimate on a rolling four quarter and an equity ratio of no less than 30% at any time. At the end of the quarter Måsøval was compliant with the banks covenant requirements.

On May 21, the Group received a waiver for the interest cover ratio requirement in Q2 2025 to 1.25X EBITDA and Q3 2025 to 2.00X. The bank will also momentary increase the overdraft facility from MNOK 300 to MNOK 600 until 15.12.2025.

Operational Performance

The Group's management monitors and allocates resources to the Group's business activities as two operating segments, i.e. Farming and Sales & Processing. In addition, Farming is measured on Farming Mid, Farming West and Farming Co-location as three divisions. Overhead, related HQ costs, depreciation related to surplus values from acquisitions and intra-segment transactions are reported as Other/Eliminations. See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statement for further details.

Harvested volume (GWT) 5 226 3 606 25 015
Operational EBIT per kilo salmon 11.1 42.3 20.4

Farming is the Group's largest segment and achieved sales revenues of MNOK 501 of which MNOK 391 is sale of salmon. Higher harvested volume than in Q1 2024 led to an increase in sales revenue of MNOK 219 and lower prices reduced revenue by MNOK 71. Sales revenue from co-location partners decreased with MNOK 101 due to lower harvesting volume and prices, while other revenue related to co-location partners increased with MNOK 55 due to higher activity of farming services on behalf of co-location partners.

Operational EBIT in Q1 2025 amounted to MNOK 58 (MNOK 152). Operational EBIT per kg harvested salmon was NOK 11.1 (NOK 42.3).

Superior share decreased from 86% in Q4 2024 to 62 % in Q1 2025, compared to 65% same quarter last year.

Harvested volume (GWT) 2 317 2 144 13 481
Operational EBIT per kilo salmon 7.6 43.5 25.2

Farming Mid achieved sales revenues of MNOK 202 in Q1 2025, of which MNOK 175 is sale of salmon. Farming Mid's average sales price was NOK 75.7 per kg which is NOK 19.2 lower compared to Q1 2024. Operational EBIT in Q1 2025 was MNOK 18 (MNOK 93). Operational EBIT per kg harvested salmon was NOK 7.6 (NOK 43.5).

Harvested volume increased by 173 tonnes to 2 317 tonnes. 575 tonnes GWT was harvested from autumn 2023 generation. The autumn 23 generation was harvested with a high cost due to the high sea lice pressure in second half of 2024 resulting in intensive delousing activity and high cost. 1 742 tonnes GWT was harvested from the spring 2024 generation. Cost of Spring 24 generation harvested in the quarter reflect challenging biological performance on the sites harvested due to high sea lice pressure in second half 2024. The fish harvested from this generation also had a low superior share, resulting in low price achievement. The production in the quarter and thus far into Q2 have been good on generation autumn 24 and spring 25.

Cost in Region Mid is expected to remain flat in Q2 but reduced when harvesting generation autumn 2024 from Q3.

Farming West achieved sales revenues of MNOK 187 in Q1 2025, all the revenue is related to the sale of salmon. Farming West's average sales price was NOK 0.6 per kg higher in comparison with Q1 2024. Compared to Q1 2024 harvested volume increased by 2 150 tonnes.

The harvest volume in the quarter is split between the sites 53% from Kvangardsnes and 47% from Orholmen The two sites harvested in Q1 have large differences in cost due to difference in biological performance.

The site Kvangardsnes was infected by Pasteurellosis resulting in elevated mortality rates and lower appetite. Due to fish health considerations harvesting was accelerated at the site. Salmon harvest from this site had a high cost reflecting low harvest weights, high mortality cost and low production. Smolt stocked on the site was mostly from external supplier of smolt with different genetics than normal.

Orholmen had a high production since stocking and also this quarter resulting in low production cost. Orholmen demonstrate the improvements that have taken place in Region West, with improved smolt quality, and a strong sea production.

At the end of Q1 Kvangardsnes was almost fully harvested while Orholmen have only harvested 1/3 of planned production. Sites in production but not harvested in the region preformed well in the quarter.

Farming West achieved prices of NOK 81.6 per kg. Operational EBIT amounted to MNOK 22 (MNOK 2). Operational EBIT per kg harvested salmon was NOK 9.6 (NOK 12.4).

2 288 tonnes of salmon (138 tonnes) was harvested in Q1 2025.

Due to site structure harvest volumes are normally higher in odd-numbered years, while sea production is higher in even-numbered years. Sites produced but not harvested performed well.

Cost in Region West is expected to improve the coming months with majority of fish harvested from Orholmen.

From 2025 Q1 co location is included as a third farming division. The intention to split into a third farming division is to make Region West and Region Mid more comparable to other farming companies and to provide more details on value creation in co-location farming activities.

Farming Co-location achieved sales revenues of MNOK 113 in Q1 2025, of which MNOK 29 is related to the sale of salmon. Other revenue amount to MNOK 74 is related to farming services on behalf of colocation partners. Compared to Q1 2024 harvested volume decreased by 703 tonnes.

Operational EBIT amounted to MNOK 18 (MNOK 57). Operational EBIT per kg harvested salmon was NOK 29.3 (NOK 43.4). Higher operational EBIT in Co-location compared to the other divisions is a result of changes in estimates. Estimates in Q4 2024 relating to sites still in production was too considerate.

621 tonnes of salmon (1 324 tonnes) were harvested in Q1 2025. 77% of the harvest was from spring 2024 generations and 23% from the autumn 2024 generation.

The Sales & Processing segment sold a total of 7 051 GWT, yielding sales revenues of MNOK 596 in Q1 2025, vs. MNOK 401 in Q1 2024. Sales volume increased with 3 440 tonnes, of which 5 226 tonnes was related to sales on the Group and its Co-location partners, and 1 825 tonnes is related to sale salmon for third party. Average sales price decreased with NOK 27.2 per kg. Revenue from harvesting and related services increased by MNOK 21.

In total the Sales & Processing segment report a negative operational EBIT of MNOK 16 in the quarter, vs negative MNOK 24 in Q1 2024.

Loss primarily related to harvesting of which TL52 had a loss of MNOK 11.2 and PNS a loss of MNOK 3.8.

Initiating VAP-production for third party from Q2 at TL52. Agreement with Nordic Halibut will improve operating results in PNS from Q2.

Spot exposure in the quarter was high – in line with the Group's strategy.

SALES VOLUME (GWT)

Outlook

FARMING OUTLOOK

Full year harvest volume in 2025 is estimated at 29 200 GWT for the Group, this figure includes an estimated ~31% harvesting on co-location partners. Approximately 68% of the total annual volume is expected to be harvested in Region Mid.

In Q2, the Group expects to harvest 9 600 GWT. The total volume includes an estimated volume of approximately 4 000 GWT on co-location licences. Around 65% of the total volume is expected to be harvested in Region Mid.

Cost is expected to fall in Q2, and superior share is expected to increase.

Fully utilised Måsøval has a potential to produce around 25 400 GWT on the Group's current commercial licences. In addition, fully utilised Måsøval expects to produce approximately 7 400 GWT on licences owned by Co-location partners operated by Måsøval. In addition, the exhibition license have a potential of 600/1 200 GWT, and Måsøval also have a pending co-location agreement with Møre and Romsdal County Council with a potential of 1 200 GWT.

FORWARD PRICES

The average price for superior grade salmon is expected to decrease in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024. On 21 May, prices for Q1 2025 salmon futures traded on the Euronext MATIF at 74.62 NOK compared to NOK 112.34 in the same quarter last year. For 2025, we quote the European salmon futures listed on Euronext Salmon futures calculated in NOK per kilo. European salmon futures for 2025 indicate a annual average price for superior grade salmon sold spot price of NOK 85.2 per kilo.

Please note that from 6 August the NASDAQ index was replaced by the SISALMONI index for settlement prices. There are minor changes in methodology and sample companies to calculate the settlement price.

Other Matters

On 12 March 2025 Nordic Halibut entered into an agreement with PNS that secures Nordic Halibut long-term harvesting capacity at PNS, and at the same time Måsøval and Nordic Halibut have entered into an option agreement that gives Nordic Halibut an opportunity to take over ownership of PNS. The prerequisite for such a change of ownership and a long-term solution for continued operations on Averøy is that acceptance and agreement are also reached with the minority shareholders in PNS.

PNS is one of the few harvesting facilities with expertise in halibut harvesting, and with Nordic Halibut's goals of an annual production of 10 350 tonnes HOG by 2031, this provides grounds for optimism about the operations on Averøy going forward.

LEASE AND OPERATION OF EDUCATIONAL LICENCE

Møre and Romsdal County Council («MRFK») has applied to the Directorate of Fisheries for an extension of the educational licence for farming of salmon in order to be able to continue to offer educational programs in aquaculture at Hustadvika high school.

Måsøval AS («Måsøval») has for several years been engaged in aquaculture operations in the county and wants to contribute to the continuation of local aquaculture education and building of expertise in the county. Måsøval considers such collaboration with the school to be a positive contribution in developing new talents in the industry, and to be part of recruiting young local talents.

MRFK has conducted a tender process where Måsøval was chosen as the preferred partner for leasing and operating the licence, and facilitating educational activities.

Måsøval will pay a fixed rent to MRFK for operating the licence for a period of 10 years. Rent is set at a cost MNOK 7.5 per year that will increase with inflation. During this period, Måsøval will increase its MAB basis by 780 tonnes, and as for other licences, Måsøval holds the risk and reward of the operation. However, the licence is considered a special licence and thus exempt from resource rent taxation and has its own MAB limit.

MRFK will now apply to the Directorate of Fisheries for renewal of this teaching licence and co-location of this at the Måsøval sites. It is only after the application is granted that the lease and operations in Måsøval will begin and the 10-year period begins to run.

Subject to normal processing time, MRFK and Måsøval hope to be able to utilise the teaching licence already from the second half of 2025.

NORDIC HALIBUT – PNS EXTENSION AND AMENDMENT TO EXTENSION TO EXISTING BANK FINANCING

Måsøval AS (the "Company") has exercised its extension option under its senior bank financing of MNOK 1 900 (the "Loan Agreement") whereby the termination date has been extended from 27 February 2027 to 28 February 2028. In connection with the extension, the Company and the lenders have agreed to permanent amendments of the following terms under the Loan Agreement as requested by the Company:

* The requirements as to interest cover ratio shall be reduced, so that the interest cover ratio with effect from Q1 2025 shall not at any time be less than 3.0x.

* The permitted finance lease facility is increased from MNOK 400 to MNOK 600.

Events After the Balance Sheet Day

AMENDMENTS TO EXISTING BANK FINANCING

The Group's bank will momentary increase the overdraft facility from MNOK 300 to MNOK 600 until 15.12.2025.

The bank also issued waiver on interest cover ratio reducing from 3.00X EBITDA to 1.25X EBITDA for Q2 2025, and reducing the interest cover ratio for Q3 2025 to 2.00X

WHITE PAPER ON AQUACULTURE – "HAVBRUKSMELDINGEN"

On 10 April, the government, through the Ministry of Trade, Industry, and Fisheries, published its aquaculture report – "Havbruksmeldingen". The white paper proposes a significant shift in the regulation of the Norwegian aquaculture industry, where production will be managed on the basis of estimated mortality among wild salmon caused by sea lice originating from the salmon farming industry.

The cornerstone of the proposal is the shift from quantity, species, and operational limitations in current company licences, transitioning to a regulation-based company lice quotas for each production area. There are also other defining proposals including introducing fees on lost fish and sea lice. Måsøval notes that there is no full agreement among sector authorities regarding the report's scientific basis. We also acknowledge that the report frequently highlights the need for further studies on key change proposals. Overall, this makes both the final outcome and the time line for implementation very uncertain as of today.

Måsøval are following the political processes closely, leading up to the parliamentary review of the industry committee's recommendation on 12 June. Måsøval has also taken an active role by providing our inputs and objections to the report and collaborating with industry organisations. We are continuously working several specific measures that can position Måsøval for various regulatory outcomes.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1: Basis for Preparation

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (IAS 34) .

The Group's 2024 Annual Report is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by The European Union. The Group accounting policies adopted and applied in this interim report are consistent with those applied in the Group's 2024 Annual Report, with one exception related to accounting for income and expenses on our co-location agreements, see Note 2 in this report for a full description of accounting related to co-location agreements. A full description of all material accounting policies used in the most recent annual consolidated financial statements is given in the Group's 2024 Annual report, which is available at www.masoval.no.

The tax expense in the quarterly report is based on a simplified calculation based on the expected effective tax rates.

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Financial Statements for 2024.

New standards effective from 1 January 2025 have had no material effect on the interim report.

Note 2: Business Segments

The management monitors and allocates resources to the Group's business activities as two operating segments, Farming and Sales & Processing. In addition Farming is also measured on divisions as Farming Mid, Farming West and Co-location agreements. The Farming segment includes the purchase of salmon eggs, farming on land and sea, and related service activities. The Sales & Processing segment includes harvesting activities and the sale of salmon and other species of fish in Norway and for export.

The Co-location partners division consists of a number of different elements including a mix of production on commercial licences, educational licences and broodstock licences. Refer to the section "Long-term Co-location Partners" for further details related to these agreements.

No operating segments have been aggregated to form the above reportable operating segments.

The remaining of the Group's activities is shown in the "Other/eliminations" column. The Group's administration cost and other shared cost are not allocated to segments. Information about unallocated items included in this column is given in a footnote to the tables below. Transfer prices between operating segments are on arm's length basis in a manner similar to transactions with third parties.

The segments are measured on various criteria, of which financial results are one of these.

Information regarding the Group's reportable segments is presented below.

LONG-TERM CO-LOCATION PARTNERS

The Group has several long-term co-location agreements under which it performs farming services on licences owned by partners, including both commercial licences, broodstock licences and one educational licence. All income and expenses related to these agreements are classified under division "Farming Co-location". The accounting for these agreements is determined based on the terms of the various agreements and described below.

For commercial licences, the Group performs farming services and invoices accrued costs to the counterparties on an ongoing basis, recorded as a receivable on the counterparty in the balance sheet. Settlement of the receivable is only made when the site has been completely harvested. As payment for the farming services, the Group receives a share of the co-location partners' profits from the sale of the fish that reflects the quality of the farming services provided. From 1 January 2025, the Group has changed its accounting treatment so that income is recorded as "Other operating income", while costs are included under operating expenses. Comparative figures have also been restated to reflect this. In 2024 costs where reported net against the invoiced amount, while our share of the profit was booked under "Net profit sharing with co-location partners" in the profit and loss statement.

For broodstock and educational licences the biomass is accounted for in the Group's balance sheet. Gross income and expenses are accounted for in the profit and loss statement. From 1 January 2025 the Group has changed its accounting treatment so that the licence holders' share of profits generated is expensed as "Other operating expenses". Comparative figures has been restated to reflect this. In 2024 the licence holders' share of profits generated was expensed as "Net profit sharing with colocation partners". Lease cost related to the educational licence are booked continuously throughout the year and are not accrued based on the time of harvest.

When the Group has salmon on the co-location partners site the biomass is accounted for in the Group's balance sheet and classified under division Farming Mid. The harvested volume from these agreements are a part of the Group's harvest volume and gross income and expenses are accounted for in the profit and loss statement. From 1 January 2025 the Group has changed its accounting treatment so that the licence holders' share of profits generated is expensed as "Other operating expenses". Comparative figures has been restated to reflect this. In 2024 the licence holders' share of profits generated was expensed as "Net profit sharing with co-location partners"

Note 8: Tax

The Norwegian government have implemented a resource rent tax on salmon farming in sea with a tax rate of 25%. The resource rent tax only applies to farming of salmon at sea on commercial licences and not the entire production cycle.

An implementation effect of the resource rent tax was treated as a tax charge in Q2 2023 and constitutes a deferred tax on the Group's biomass of MNOK 242. In the Q3 2023 report, Måsøval implemented the full effect of accumulated resource rent tax expense so far in 2023. Based on the final tax report for 2023 and amended tax report for 2022, we have reversed an implementation effect corresponding to MNOK 124 in 2024. In the amended tax report for 2022 we have taken a position to get a deduction in resource rent tax for the values of the biomass as of 31.12.22."

The production fee in the period is directly deductible in the payable resource rent tax for the same period. Below we show the total tax expense including the production fee and then we show a reconciliation against the income statement. The production fee is specified on a separate line in the statement of profit and loss.

Estimated tax cost for the period is classified as "Deferred Tax" in the Balance Sheet.

Note 9: Changes in Comparative Figures

The final tax calculation for 2024 resulted in changes to the tax expense after the Q4 2024 report was published. These changes were implemented in the 2024 Annual Report and are reflected in the comparative figures in this report.

Starting in 2025 all activity related to co-location partners at our sites is included in a third farming division. This implicates that net result from co-location partners are reclassified from below "Operational EBIT" and included in "Other operating income" and "Other operating expenses". The change also implicates that, starting in 2025, we will present revenues related to farming services to our co-location partners gross, unlike previously where these were netted against associated costs and only our share of the profit was recognised as income at the time of harvesting. Comparative figures for 2024 and Q1 2024 have been restated to be comparable with reported figures for 2025, see tables below for a specification.

Alternative Performance Measures (APMs)

The Group presents its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In addition, management has established alternative performance measures (APMs) to provide useful and relevant information to users of the financial statements. These APMs have been established to provide greater understanding of the Group's underlying performance, and do not replace the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The performance parameters have been reviewed and approved by the Group's management and Board of directors. Alternative performance measures may be defined and used in other ways by other companies. The Group applies the following APMs:

NET INTEREST-BEARING DEBT

Net interest-bearing debt is defined as the net of long-term debt, short-term debt, bank deposits and interest-bearing receivables. The measure is useful and necessary information to investors and other users of the financial statements to assess the net of the interest-bearing external capital used to finance the Group. The measure is used to calculate return on capital employed and highlights the Group's ability to increase the debt. The capitalised value of operational lease agreements according to IFRS 16 is not included in the interest-bearing debt.

NET INTEREST EXPENSES EXCLUDING PURE NORWEGIAN SEAFOOD

The Group's external financing is divided into two parts. Pure Norwegian Seafood has its own financing and is not included in the Group's main financing. The loan requirements related to the Group's main financing are therefore linked to figures excluding PNS.

OPERATIONAL EBIT PER KG SALMON

Operational EBIT per kg is defined as a central performance measure for the Group. The measure is used to evaluate the profitability of sold goods and the operations of the Group. The performance measure is useful to users of the financial statements to evaluate the profitability of sold goods and the production. The measure is calculated for each segment before unallocated costs and non-recurring events, fair value adjustments, income from associated companies, financial expenses and taxes. The measure is expressed per kg harvested volume.

OPERATIONAL EBIT

Operational EBIT is defined as the difference between operating revenues and operating expenses. Operating expenses excludes production tax, profit sharing with co-location partners, and change in fair value of biological assets
