Stage 1
Stage 2
Stage 1: Developing an entirely new industry on the East Coast of Iceland
✓
- Ice Fish Farm (est. 2012) and Laxar (est. 2005) operated as separate companies, developing the infrastructure of an entirely new industry in Iceland and the East Coast
- First salmon generation harvested in 2013
- Attracting local and international investor capital as leading global seafood investors recognized the vast potential of the region
- 2020 proved to be a profitable year for Kaldvík, highlighting the potential within Icelandic salmon farming
2020 financials (Ice Fish Farm)
92% superior share ~1.4 EUR EBIT/kg1 4.3kt harvest (HOG)
2021 – 2024
Stage 2: Rapid growth, consolidation and scaling towards run-rate levels
✓
- Acquisition of Laxar becoming sole operator in East Fjords – 3 remaining market players
- ISA disease, winter wound and general focus on stabilizing and enhancing operations impacting biomass and profits
- Substantial focus on value chain and rigging the company to reach milestone harvest targets and scaling towards profitability
- Key initiatives include proactive health management strategy, expansion and improvement of freshwater facilities, larger and more robust smolt, and increase in wellboat capacity
- Regaining biomass towards the tail-end of this period following enhanced operations and biological control
~15kt
Today
Stage 3: Reaching run-rate volumes and boosting profitability
Near-to-medium term focus
Milestone 1:
- Fully invested value chain and current smolt release of ~7.5m at ~400g avg. size supporting run-rate ~30kt annual volumes
- Fixed cost base in place to handle run-rate volume, supporting significant EBITDA potential when scaling from ~15kt to ~30kt
Stage 4: Operational optimization and full license capacity utilization Longer-term potential
Long-term
- Scaling toward 45kt potential in the longer term supported by 53.8kt MAB total license capacity2
- Further increases in smolt size to reduce cycles (2-year vs. 3-year) and reduce risk
- Utilize sterile production of 9.3-12.8kt (3-4kt tonnes run-rate)
- License optimization and transition toward new production sones

1) 2020 EBIT/kg Salmon for Ice Fish Farm adjusting for cost related to Rifos and harvest of Arctic charr (which has been discontinued)
2) Including 10.0kt pending license applications (expected to be granted in Q2 2025)
