Harvested quantities amounted to 2,020 tonnes compared to 1,275 tonnes
for the same period last year, which is an increase of 58% year over year.
Operational EBIT pr. kg amounted to -2.19 EUR pr. kg compared to an Operational EBIT of 1.82 EUR pr. kg of last year, which is largely due to lower price achievement.
Biological performance in the quarter was strong with steady growth and good lice control.
UUA has for the second time ruled in favor of Arctic Fish regarding MAST decision of not renewing the company's trout license in Önundarfjörður. The company is working on getting the license reissued which could lead to future license growth.
Capital expenditures amounted to 6.8 MEUR, mainly related to seawater equipment and setup of new sites.
Equity share is somewhat below the covenant requirement at the end of the quarter, with reference to challenging market conditions and the company being in a build-up phase. A waiver has been obtained from the bank syndicate until the end of Q3. Arctic Fish has no earnings covenants.
The Board has decided to summon an EGM where the Board proposes an equity increase to strengthen the balance sheet.
The proposed equity increase is a private placement of MEUR 35 in which its two largest shareholders, Mowi ASA and Síldarvinnslan, will be invited to participate at a share price on or around market price. The board intends to consider a limited subsequent offering to other shareholders.

The Group's principal activity is salmon farming, producing
smolt in its own freshwater hatchery and farming salmon at sea
before the fish is harvested and finally sold to the market.
The Group has a modern freshwater hatchery and smolt facility in Norðurbotn
(Tálknafjörður), using RAS technology. The Group owns a 36.3 km2 land area
surrounding the facility and securing existing and future expansion with both
sufficient land and water capacity.


The Group's production capacity for the company is 29,800 tonnes MAB
(Maximum Allowed Biomass) and includes licenses covering 10 farming areas in
5 different fjords, all located in the Westfjords of Iceland. This structure enables alternation of production areas to minimize biological risk. The sites are in general
considered with high bearing capacity indicated by low and non-impact, proven by regular bottom surveys. The Group currently holds licenses for a production of
the 29,800 tonnes thereof 27,000 tonnes for fertile salmon.
All processing of the Group's salmon since Q3'2023 and onwards takes place in
the company's brandnew, state of the art harvesting facility in Bolungarvík. The
facility has been designed to fulfil the short and long-term needs of Arctic Fish, with extension and growth possibilities for external service contracts for other
farmers.


The fish is sold through a sales agreement with Mowi. The Group sees substantial
potential in utilizing the synergies from the majority owner Mowi with sales being
handled by Mowi from September 2023 and onwards.
Market routes both domestically and internationally are developing positively,
and there is potential to enter markets and customers efficiently.
The second quarter's performance will be broken down into the main operating categories, investments, and financing. In brackets some historical performance for the year 2024 is provided.
(Figures in brackets = 2024, unless otherwise specified)
Revenues amounted to 12.6 MEUR in the quarter, compared to 11.6 MEUR in the
corresponding prior-year period, the difference is largely due to price achievement
differences year over year.
The Group achieved a negative operational EBIT of EUR -4.4 million (Q2'2024: EUR 2.3 million)
The sold volume HOG was 2,020 tonnes in the quarter, compared to 1,275
tonnes harvested in the same period last year, which is an increase of 58% year over year.
The Group recognised a negative fair value adjustment of EUR -1.9 million
(Q2'2024: EUR -4.4 million) on the biomass in sea. The lower fair value adjustment
in the quarter can largely be attributed to low forward prices and price seasonality.
Net financial losses were EUR -2.8 million in the quarter (Q2'2024: EUR -2.4 million). Net interest payments in the quarter amounted to 2.6 million EUR in the period,
whilst other financial items resulted in losses of 0.2 MEUR.
At the end of the second quarter 2025, total assets amounted to EUR 246.5 million,
which is an increease of EUR 18.7 million from the prior period (Q1'2025). This is mainly
due to an increase of biological assets, inventories and capital expenditures.
Net interest bearing debt has increased from 131.1 MEUR to 145.0 MEUR in the
quarter as a result of negative operational cash flow and Capital Expenditures. The financial items also contribute to the increase in
NIBD, with the net change in the quarter amounting to EUR 13.9 million.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group's equity totalled EUR 64.0 million, a
decrease of EUR 9.4 million from the end of the previous quarter. The equity ratio
at the end of the quarter amounted to 26.0%, which is a decrease of 6.2% from
the previous quarter.

Biological performance in the quarter was strong with steady growth and good lice control.
Biological performance in the quarter was fundamentally solid, with closing
average weight increasing compared to the same period last year.
Harvesting volumes in 2025 are expected to amount to 14.0 thousand tonnes, which is 31% more than realized in 2024, and will be the company's biggest year so far from a volume perspective.

tonnes

Capital Expenditures have been focused on three main pillars throughout the value chain.
Substantial CAPEX in prior years has built up a sustainable growth foundation throughout the value chain, with current investments focused on expansions and growth initiatives.
In the second quarter CAPEX amounted to 6.8 MEUR, mainly related to seawater equipment and setup of new sites.


The license portfolio for the company is 29,800 tonnes MAB (Maximum Allowed Biomass) and includes licenses covering 10 farming areas in 5 different fjords, all located in the Westfjords of Iceland. Of the 29,800 tonnes, 27,000 tonnes are for fertile salmon.
Additionally, the Group holds a license for land-based smolt production on its own property in Norðurbotn, with an annual production capacity of 2,400 tonnes.
Within the quarter UUA has for the second time ruled in favor of Arctic Fish regarding MAST decision of not renewing the company's trout license in Önundarfjörður.
The company is working on getting the license re-issued which could lead to future license growth.


We confirm, to the best of our knowledge, that the financial report for the second quarter of 2025 has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 – Interim
Financial Reporting, as adopted by EU, and gives a true and fair view of the
Group's assets, liabilities, financial position and profits and loss for the period.
