Salmon farming industry is at a crossroads

The challenge: How to double salmon production by 2040

Current business model running out of capacity – new investments required

Harvest volumes (in 1,000 tonnes wfe)

Unlocking growth through technology

• Traditional sea-based farming currently produces around 3 million tonnes of Atlantic salmon globally
• Deep farming holds potential to add ~15% capacity by reducing lice and lowering mortality
• Post-smolt holds potential to add 30-35% to volumes, by improving biomass yield and reducing mortality
• Land-based grow-out beginning to gain traction, with long-term potential to 500,000 tonnes or more
• Other emerging technologies likely required for supply to keep up with demand growth

Deep farming

• Potential to unlock 15%+ higher harvesting volumes from existing licenses
• Submerged cages reduces sea lice treatments by ~85% and reduces mortality with limited additional investment
• Proven improved fish welfare supporting social license to operate and regulatory greenlight in non-green zones
• Currently applicable for close to 60% of locations
• Deep farming represents a ~NOK 6 billion market opportunity in Norway through 2030

We experience an 85% reduction in the number of lice treatments with deep farming compared to traditional farming.

• Henning Beltestad, CEO Lerøy Seafood

Leadership in a high-growth market

• Consistent market leadership as innovator and first mover in deep farming
• Expanded customer base from pilot with Sinkaberg Hansen to half a dozen leading fish farmers
• Strong pipeline for 2025 with multiple new customers and a growing prospect list

• 200+ Nautilus cages deployed on 30+ sites "He said the company had witnessed an 85 percent

reduction in lice treatment frequency in submerged cages compared to traditional farming. The first submerged cage was installed last July, "and now we're already at close to 40 percent," he said.

"This has been a game-changer for us"

• CEO Henning Beltestad, Lerøy Seafood, Intrafish vol 3, 2025

A NOK 6bn market opportunity through 2030

• Currently ~600 active fish farming sites in Norway
• 50%-60% deemed suitable for Nautilus
• Annual deployment at 50-70 sites implies a market potential of ~NOK 1 billion per year through 2030

Clear market leader with capacity and technology to serve site-specific needs

Post-smolt

• Established as an industry growth strategy
• Shorter production cycles with reduced exposure in sea
• Fewer lice treatments, lower mortality and increased biomass yield
• Strong documentation from the Faroe Islands and the Rogaland region
• Potential to unlock 30-35% volume growth

Post-smolt improves survival, welfare and productivity

Postsmolt improves survival, welfare and productivity through effects which are generic; reduces time in sea, reduces risk in sea, reduces treatment need, enables strategic stocking and adapting to biological risks, increases site-capacity, increases survival
