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, a 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 at 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 driven by the same pioneering spirit that set us on our path –convinced that the future belongs to those who dare to think differently and have the courage to act when others hesitate.

Overview of key performance indicators (KPIs) that provide insight into Måsøval's financial and operational development over time. The metrics are selected to reflect our core activities and profitability drivers.
This figure represents Måsøval's total operating profit, calculated as operating revenues minus operating expenses. The measure is expressed as operational earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), in million NOK (MNOK), and serves as an indicator for our overall profitability before financial and tax effects and excluding fair value adjustment.
This KPI measures segment-specific profitability per kilogram of harvested salmon. It reflects the biological performance and operational efficiency of each Farming division. The measure is expressed as operational EBIT per kilogram of harvested salmon (EBIT/kg), in gutted weight.
This metric measures the total quantity of salmon harvested during the period, measured in gutted weight tonnes (GWT). It reflects the biological output of our farming operations, including volumes from co-location agreements where applicable.
These KPIs, among others, are used by the executive management and the Board of Directors to monitor performance, allocate resources, and assess strategic progress. They are presented consistently across reporting periods to ensure comparability and transparency. See Alternative Performance Measures for details.

This section presents Måsøval Group's financial performance for the quarter. Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, unless specified otherwise.
Effective from 1 January 2025, the Group has implemented a change in the accounting treatment of co-location agreements operated at the Group's own sites. Income and expenses from these agreements are now recognised on a gross basis and presented under Other operating income and Other operating expenses.
The change also introduces a new division within the Farming segment – Farming Co-location.
Comparative figures for 2024 have been restated to ensure consistency and comparability with the new reporting structure. See Note 2 and Note 9 for further details.

Operating revenues for the second quarter of 2025 totalled NOK 869 million, down from NOK 1 028 million in the same quarter last year. The decline is primarily attributable to lower sales prices, which averaged NOK 71.8 per kilogram, compared to NOK 100.4 per kilogram in Q2 2024. Harvest volumes remained stable at 8 538 tonnes (8 469 tonnes).
The Group reported an operational EBIT of NOK 28 million, a reduction from NOK 315 million in the corresponding quarter last year. Net financial expenses amounted to NOK 55 million, while fair value adjustment of biomass contributed positively with NOK 181 million. Profit before tax was NOK 148 million, and total tax expense for the quarter was NOK 44 million.
At the end of the second quarter of 2025, total assets amounted to NOK 5 164 million, an increase of NOK 234 million from the previous quarter. Property, plant, and equipment increased by NOK 116 million, primarily due to the activation of the well boat chart Njord Kya as a right-to-use asset.
Biological assets held at sea increased by NOK 95 million, reflecting a higher number of individuals (6.2 million vs 5.9 million in Q1), and harvesting in periods of higher expected prices. Biomass at sea decreased by 1 222 tonnes, from 12 003 tonnes to 10 781 tonnes. The value of smolt and post-smolt decreased by NOK 26 million, reflecting seasonal smolt releases.
Net interest-bearing debt totalled NOK 2 096 million at end of the quarter, down NOK 12 million from Q1. Total equity increased by NOK 104 million, reaching NOK 1 845 million.
Cash flow from operating activities was positive at NOK 116 million in the second quarter of 2025. The improvement was driven by a net decrease in working capital, where lower inventories and higher accounts payables outweighed the increase in account receivables and other current receivables. Inventories decreased by NOK 92 million, accounts receivables increased by NOK 64 million, and accounts payables increased by NOK 71 million.
Investing activities resulted in a negative cash flow of NOK 43 million.
Cash flow from financial activities was negative at NOK 110 million, reflecting debt instalments, lease liabilities, interest expenses, and net changes in the overdraft. No dividend was paid during the quarter, compared to NOK 61 million in Q2 2024.
In the second quarter of 2025, total assets increased by NOK 234 million, while equity rose by NOK 104 million. The equity ratio ended the quarter at 35.7%, slightly up from 35.3% in the previous quarter.
The Group's bank overdraft, term loan, and revolving credit facility are governed by covenants set by the bank. These include a 12-month rolling interest coverage ratio of 3x EBITDA, and a minimum equity ratio of 30%. The bank issued temporary waivers for the interest cover ratio, reducing the requirement to 1.25x for Q2, and 2.00x for Q3. At the end of the quarter, the Group was compliant with both covenant requirements.
The Group obtained additional short-term bank financing, increasing the overdraft facility from NOK 300 million to NOK 600 million until the end of Q4.
This section presents Måsøval Group's operational performance for the quarter. Figures in brackets refer to the corresponding quarter of the previous year, unless otherwise stated.
The Group's activities are monitored and managed across two operating segments: Farming, and Sales & Processing. Within the Farming segment, performance is further assessed across three divisions: Farming Mid, Farming West, and, from 2025, Farming Co-location. The introduction of Farming Co-location as a separate division aims to improve comparability between farming regions and provide greater transparency on value creation from farming activities related to co-location agreements.
Activities related to Group administration, shared HQ costs, depreciation of surplus values from acquisitions, and intrasegment transactions are reported under Other/Eliminations.
No operating segments have been aggregated, and transfer pricing between segments is conducted on an arm's length basis. See Note 5 for further details.

Farming is the Group's largest segment and generated total sales revenues of NOK 574 million in the second quarter of 2025, of which NOK 418 million stemmed from the sale of salmon. Harvested volume was 69 tonnes higher than in Q2 2024. However, lower price levels resulted in reduced sales revenue.
Operational EBIT amounted to NOK 34 million (NOK 350 million), corresponding to NOK 4.0 per kilogram harvested salmon (NOK 41.3).
The share of superior quality increased from 62% in Q1 2025 to 78%, which is broadly in line with the level reported in the same quarter last year (79.3%).

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Total operating revenues | 145 637 | 532 292 | 346 608 | 756 874 | 1 319 261 |

| Operational EBIT per kg | 14.7 | 51.5 | 10.3 | 49.2 | 25.2 |
Farming Mid generated sales revenues of NOK 146 million in the second quarter of 2025, of which NOK 88 million stemmed from the sale of salmon. The average sales price was NOK 62.6 per kilogram, which is NOK 34.1 lower than in Q2 2024.
Operational EBIT amounted to NOK 21 million (NOK 269 million), corresponding to NOK 14.7 per kilogram harvested salmon (NOK 51.5).
Due to relatively low harvesting volumes in the quarter, the contribution from external sales of services and smolt had a proportionally higher impact on reported EBIT.
Harvested volume decreased by 3 822 tonnes to 1 403 tonnes. Of this, 792 tonnes GWT was harvested from the spring 2024 generation, and 611 tonnes from the autumn 24 generation. The cost of the spring 24 generation reflects challenging biological performance at the sites harvested.
Two sites experienced pancreas disease (PD), but the impact on appetite and mortality was limited due to high vaccine protection. Harvesting of these sites was completed by the end of the quarter.
The addition of a second well boat during the quarter has increased our capacity and flexibility for both harvest transport and delousing operations. Underlying cost in region Mid is expected to decline in the coming quarters.

Farming West harvested 3 558 GWT in the second quarter of 2025, generating sales revenues of NOK 250 million. The average sales price was NOK 70.3 compared to NOK 116.8 same quarter last year.
Operational EBIT amounted to NOK 25 million (NOK 57 million), corresponding to NOK 7.0 per kilogram harvested salmon (NOK 44.6). The cost position in the region improved significantly, with a cost of NOK 63.3 per kilogram, compared to NOK 72.2 in the same quarter last year.
Of the total volume harvested in the Farming West region, 8.5% originated from the Kvangardsnes site. This site was harvested at a high cost due to pasteurellosis, which resulted in low harvest weights. Kvangardsnes was fully harvested by the end of the quarter.
Orholmen demonstrated strong biological performance and contributed to lower costs. The site accounted for 88% of the total volume harvested in the region during the quarter. A harvest volume of 218 GWT is expected from Orholmen in Q3.
Slettvika accounted for 3.5% of the total volume harvested. The site was infected with pasteurellosis during the quarter, but fish were harvested at higher average weights and lower mortality and appetite reduction than at Kvangardsnes. Slettvika will be fully harvested by the end of Q3.
The majority of the harvest volume in Q3 is expected from Slettvika, and costs in the region are expected to increase in the coming months.

Farming Co-location harvested 3 577 GWT in the second quarter of 2025, up from 1 972 GWT in the same quarter last year. This generated sales revenues of NOK 178 million, of which NOK 80 million related to the sale of salmon. Other revenue amounted to NOK 98 million and reflects farming services performed on behalf of co-location partners.
Operational EBIT amounted to NOK -11 million (NOK 24 million), corresponding to NOK -3.0 per kilogram harvested salmon (NOK 12.3).

*Including a one-off effect in Q1 2024 due to a loss of NOK 7 million regarding a sale of the harvesting facility Western Seaproducts.
Sales & Processing generated sales revenues of NOK 742.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, compared to NOK 926 million in Q2 2024. The decline is attributable to lower sales prices, which fell by 28.6 per kilogram compared to the same quarter last year. Sales volume, however, increased by 591 tonnes.
The segment reported a negative operational EBIT of NOK 2.1 million in the quarter, an improvement from a negative NOK 8.1 million in Q2 2024. The result includes a loss of NOK 5.4 million related to the sales of frozen inventory.
From 1 April, the agreement with Nordic Halibut will secure positive operational results at Pure Norwegian Seafood (PNS, harvesting plant M168) going forward.
In May, harvesting plant TL52 obtained the necessary approvals for export to China. This approval is important both for the Group's sales company (Måsøval Sales), enabling access to the fast-growing Chinese market, and for TL52, which can now attract third party harvesting volumes.
Also in May, TL52 initiated value-added production (VAP) as a service for a third-party salmon farmer.

This section outlines the Group's expectations for the coming quarters. Figures are based on current forecasts and may be subject to change due to biological, market, or regulatory developments. Please note that from 6 August 2024, the NASDAQ index was replaced by the SISALMONI index for settlement prices. The change involves minor adjustments in methodology and sample companies used to calculate settlement prices.
The Group expects to harvest a total of approximately 28 100 GWT in 2025. This includes an estimated 30% of total volume from commercial co-location agreements.
For the third quarter of 2025, the Group expect to harvest 5 900 GWT. This includes approximately 200 tonnes from co-location agreements where the biomass is recognised in the Group's financial statements, and around 1 600 tonnes from co-location agreements where the biomass is not recognised.
HARVEST VOLUME (GWT)
Costs are expected to decline moderately in Q3.

| Region Mid | Region West | Co-location | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 | 2.3 | 2.3 | 0.6 | 5.2 |
| Q2 | 1.4 | 3.6 | 3.6 | 8.5 |
| Q3 | 1.5 | 2.6 | 1.8 | 5.9 |

| Total 2025 | 8.5 | 10.7 | 8.9 | 28.1 |
When fully utilised, Måsøval's current licence portfolio has a production potential of approximately 25 400 GWT. In addition, the Group holds a exhibition licence with a potential of 600–1 200 GWT, and long-term co-location agreements operated by Måsøval may contribute up to 8 600 GWT annually, including the educational licence held by Møre and Romsdal County Council, which entered into effect in August 2025.

HARVEST VOLUME – OWN HARVEST VOLUME – CO-LOCATION
The average price for superior grade salmon is expected to decrease in Q3 2025 compared to the same quarter last year. As of 18 August, salmon futures for Q3 2025 traded on Euronext MATIF at NOK 60.23 per kilogram, down from NOK 73.66 in Q3 2024.
For 2025, the Group refers to European salmon futures listed on Euronext, calculated in NOK per kilogram. The average forward price for 2025 currently stands at NOK 74.72 per kilogram.

This section highlights additional items of relevance to investors, including disclosures and developments that fall outside the core operational and financial reporting areas, but which may influence the Group's risk profile, strategic direction or regulatory context.
On 10 April, the Norwegian government presented its White Paper on Aquaculture (Havbruksmeldingen), outlining a significant shift towards regulating aquaculture based on actual environmental impact, particularly the effect of sea lice on wild salmon populations.
On 5 June, the parliamentary Standing Committee on Business and Industry concluded its review and delivered its recommendation to parliament. On 12 June, the Norwegian parliament adopted the main principles of Havbruksmeldingen, while requesting further studies on actual environmental impact before any new regulations are implemented. Three alternative regulatory models – the government's proposal, the Aquaculture Commission's proposal, and the current system – will be assessed, sent for public consultation, and returned to parliament for final decision in 2026.
Until then, the current system will remain in place, supported by targeted incentive schemes.
Key elements of the parliamentary decision include:
The outcome and timeline for any new regulatory framework remain uncertain, and the agreed elements should be seen as a framework for further work rather than finalised rules. Måsøval is actively engaged in the process through direct input and collaboration with industry organisations, while preparing for a range of possible regulatory outcomes.
In May 2025, the Group's bank temporarily increased the overdraft facility from NOK 300 million to NOK 600 million. The increase remains in effect until 15 December 2025.
In connection with this adjustment, the bank has issued a waiver on the interest cover ratio covenant. For Q2 2025, the requirement has been reduced from 3.00x EBITDA to 1.25x EBITDA, and for Q3 2025, to 2.00x EBITDA.
Nekton Settefisk and Måsøval have collaborated since 2006, developing a well-functioning operational integration with Måsøval's farming operations. Nekton is expanding its recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) facility on the island of Smøla, increasing annual capacity from 4.0 million to 6.5 million smolt. Completion is scheduled for 2026.
In Q2, the Group signed a long-term smolt supply agreement Nekton Settefisk, securing the delivery of 2.4 million smolt annually, with an option to increase volumes to 3.0 million smolt per year. The first delivery under the new agreement is planned for August 2027, and the contract has a duration of five years. The target smolt weight is set to 250 grams.
This section outlines events occurring after the reporting period that may have a material impact on the Group's financial position or future outlook. These disclosures are provided in accordance with IAS 10 and IAS 34.
Møre and Romsdal County Council (MRFK) has been granted an extension of the educational licence for Hustadvika Upper Secondary School. MRFK has selected Måsøval as its preferred partner for leasing and operating the licence, as well as facilitating educational activities. The educational licence is utilised from August 2025.

Providing detailed insight into Måsøval Group's financial position and performance
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 was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union.
The accounting policies applied in this interim report are consistent with those used in the Group's 2024 Annual Report, with one exception related to the recognition of income and expenses from colocation agreements. See Note 2 for further details.
A comprehensive overview of all material accounting policies is provided in the Group's 2024 Annual report, available at the Group's website www.masoval.no.
The tax expense for the reporting periods are based on a simplified calculation using expected effective tax rates.
These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by IFRS for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the Group's Annual Financial Statements for 2024.
Amounts are presented in Norwegian kroner (NOK). The abbreviation MNOK denotes amounts in millions of NOK.
New standards effective from 1 January 2025 have had no material impact on this interim report.
Executive management monitors and allocates resources based on two operating segments: Farming and Sales & Processing. Within the Farming segment, performance is also assessed by division: Farming Mid, Farming West, and Farming Co-location .
The Farming segment includes the purchase of salmon eggs, land- and sea-based farming, related service activities, and the sale of salmon. Sea-based operations are located in Trøndelag and Møre and Romsdal.
The Farming Co-location division includes a mix of production on commercial licences, educational
licences and broodstock licences. Further details are provided in the section Long-term Farming Colocation Agreements.
The Sales & Processing segment comprises harvesting activities and the sale of salmon and other fish species, both domestically and for export.
The remaining activities of the Group are presented under Other/eliminations, which also includes Group administration and other shared costs not allocated to segments. Information about unallocated items is provided in a footnote to the accompanying tables.
Transfer pricing between operating segments is conducted on an arm's length basis, consistent with transactions between unrelated parties. Segments are assessed using various financial and operational metrics, as presented in the accompanying tables.

The Group has several long-term co-location agreements under which it performs farming services on licences owned by partners. These include commercial licences, broodstock licences, and one educational licence. All income and expenses related to these agreements are classified under the division Farming Co-location.
In addition, the Group has a co-location agreement where the Group stocks salmon on a partner's site, and the partner performs farming services on behalf of the Group. All income and expenses related to this agreement are classified under the division Farming Mid, as the activity relates to the Group's own licence volume.
The accounting treatment for these agreements is based on the specific terms of each arrangement and is described below.
For commercial licences, the Group performs farming services and invoices accrued costs to the counterparties on an ongoing basis. These are recorded as receivables in the balance sheet. Settlement occurs only once the site has been fully harvested. As compensation for the farming services, the Group receives a share of the co-location partner's profits from the sale of fish, reflecting the quality of the services provided.
From 1 January 2025, the Group has changed its accounting treatment so that income is recognised as Other operating income, while costs are included under Operating expenses. Comparative figures have also been restated accordingly. In 2024, costs were reported net against the invoiced amount, and the Group's share of the profit was presented under Net profit sharing with co-location partners in the Statement of Profit or Loss. Harvest volumes from these agreements are not included in the Group's reported harvest volume.
For broodstock and educational licences, the biomass is recognised in the Group's Statement of Financial Position. Harvest volumes from these agreements are included in the Group's reported harvest volume, and gross income and expenses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss. From 1 January 2025, the licence holders' share of profits is expensed as Other operating expenses. Comparative figures have been restated. In 2024, these were expensed as Net profit sharing with colocation partners. Lease costs related to the educational licence are recognised as incurred throughout the year and are not accrued based on timing of harvest.
Where the Group stocks salmon on a co-location partner's site and the partner performs farming services, the biomass is recognised in the Group's Statement of Financial Position and classified under division Farming Mid. Harvest volumes from these agreements are included in the Group's reported harvest volume, and gross income and expenses are recognised in the Statement of Profit or Loss. From 1 January 2025, the licence holders' share of profits is expensed as Other operating expenses. Comparative figures have been restated. In 2024, these were expensed as Net profit sharing with colocation partners.

Operating revenues consist of income from the sale of salmon, either at spot market prices or under fixed-price contracts. Revenue is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss when the fish has been harvested, packed in boxes, and collected by the carrier (ex works).
Other revenue includes income from harvesting activities and co-location partners, the sale of smolt, and the sale of services related to farming activities.

The Norwegian government has implemented a resource rent tax on sea-based salmon farming, with a tax rate of 25%. The tax applies only to farming activities on commercial licences at sea and does not cover the entire production cycle.
An implementation effect of the resource rent tax was recognised as a tax charge in 2023. Based on the final tax report for 2023 and the amended tax report for 2022, the Group has reversed an implementation effect amounting to MNOK 135 in 2024. In the amended 2022 tax report, the Group has taken a position to claim a deduction in the resource rent tax for the value of biomass as at 31 December 2022.
The production fee for the period is directly deductible from the payable resource rent tax for the same period. The total tax expense, including the production fee, is presented in the accompanying table, followed by a reconciliation to the Statement of Profit and Loss. The production fee is presented on a separate line in the Statement of Profit and Loss.
The estimated tax cost for the period is classified as Deferred tax in the Statement of Financial Position.

The final tax calculation for the 2024 financial year resulted in an adjustment to the tax expense following the publication of the Q4 2024 report. These adjustments have been incorporated into the 2024 Annual Report and are reflected in the comparative figures presented in this report. For details, refer to the Q1 2025 report.
Effective from 2025, all activities related to colocation partners at the Group's sea-based farming sites are reported under a newly established division with the Farming segment: Farming Colocation. As a result, the net results from colocation partners have been reclassified from below Operational EBIT and are now included within Other operating income and Other operating expenses.
Furthermore, beginning in 2025, revenues from farming services provided to co-location partners are presented on a gross basis. Previously, these were netted against associated costs, and only the Group's share of the profit was recognised as income at the time of harvesting. Comparative figures for the full year 2024, year-to-date 2024, and Q2 2024 have been restated accordingly to ensure consistency and comparability with the 2025 reporting structure. See the accompanying tables for a detailed specification.

In addition to the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Group presents a set of alternative performance measures (APMs). These measures are intended to enhance transparency and provide users of the financial statements with relevant insight into the Group's underlying operational and financial performance. APMs do not replace IFRS-based measures, but serve as supplementary indicators.
All performance parameters have been reviewed and approved by the Group's executive management and Board of Directors. It should be noted that APMs may be defined and applied differently by other entities.
Descriptions of the Group's APMs are provided throughout this section.
Net interest-bearing debt is defined as the sum of long- and short-term interest-bearing liabilities, less bank deposits and interest-bearing receivables. This measure provides insight into the net external interest-bearing capital employed to finance the Group and is used in calculating return on capital employed. It also illustrates the Group's capacity to increase its debt. The capitalised value of operational lease agreements under IFRS 16 is excluded from interest-bearing debt.
For the purpose of financial covenants, operational EBITDA is calculated excluding Pure Norwegian Seafood (PNS) and the interest effect of operational leases. It is derived by deducting depreciation and calculated interest expenses from operational EBIT.
The Group's external financing is divided into two parts. PNS maintains separate financing arrangements and is not included in the Group's main financing structure. Accordingly, loan covenant requirements are based on figures excluding PNS.
Equity ratio is calculated as total equity, including non-controlling interests, divided by total assets, and expressed as a percentage. This provides insight into the proportion of the Group's assets financed by equity versus borrowings.
