OPERATIONS, MARKETS AND STRATEGY

Operational summary

Icelandic Salmon reported operating revenues of EUR 35.5 million in the first half of 2025, a decrease of 5 per cent lower than for the corresponding period of 2024. The decrease in revenue was driven by considerably lower salmon prices compared to the first half 2024 , which offset the effect of higher harvest volumes.

The Group harvested a total of 5.1 thousand tonnes during the first half of 2025 , where most were harvested in the second quarter. This represents a substantial increase from 3.5 thousand tonnes in the first half of 2024, with a large part of the increase related to early harvesting to safeguard fish welfare in response to rising mortality from biological challenges.

Operational EBIT for the first half of 2025 was negatively impacted by lower market prices and the biological challenges, resulting in negative operational EBIT of EUR 11.3 million compared to negative operational EBIT of EUR 4.3 million in the same period last year.

The biological challenges were related to BKD in the 2023 generation on two sites, which has resulted in a weak performance during a harsh winter followed by an early summer with rapidly rising sea temperatures. This has led to increased mortality and operational costs. Extraordinary expenses of EUR 2.6 million related to the 2023 generation were recognised in the first half of the year. Both sites are expected to be harvested out in the third quarter of 2025. Biology has remained stable at the sites holding the 2024 generation, and as in the previous year, the second quarter was used to build biomass. The first harvest from 2024 generation is expected to begin in October 2025.

In the first half of 2025, Jónas Heiðar Birgisson and Rolf Ørjan Nordli resigned from their positions as CFO and COO Biology of the Group. Edvin Aspli was appointed as interim CFO, having previously held the position of Chief Strategy Officer. Johnny Indergaard was appointed as COO Biology, having previously held the position of Freshwater Manager.

The harvest volume guidance for 2025 is reduced from 15.0 to 13.0 thousand tonnes.

Markets

The Group handles its own sales through an in-house Sales team and continues to build strong relationships across both domestic and international markets. The first half of 2025 was characterised by a challenging market environment, with salmon prices lower than in recent years due to increased global supply. The Group has not experienced any significant effects from the US tariffs introduced earlier in the year but continues to monitor the situation.

Strategy

Icelandic Salmon remains focused on sustainable growth, on the terms of the salmon and in harmony with nature. During the first half of 2025, the Group continued to strengthen its biological platform across both freshwater and seawater operations.

A key milestone in the first half was the implementation of laserbased lice treatment systems, which became operational in April 2025 and are expected to improve lice control while maintaining fish welfare. This is one of several measures in the strategy for controlling sea lice. Preventive measures such as lumpfish and lice skirts are also used, as well as both non-medical and medical treatment. However, the latter is tried to be kept at a minimum.

The previously announced hybrid service vessel, originally scheduled for delivery in early 2025, has also been cancelled. This decision will contribute to reducing the overall investment program and release previously committed capital for 2025.

The investment plan for the next two years has been revised, with the most significant adjustments related to seawater operations. These changes reflect updated biological priorities and market conditions, while maintaining focus on long-term capacity and efficiency improvements.

The Group's smolt production is carried out at four facilities, including Gileyri in the Westfjords and Eldisstöðin Ísþór and Fjallalax on the south coast of Iceland. The post-smolt facility Laxabraut, also on the south coast, is expected to be completed and operational in forth quarter 2025.

In the first half of the year, 2.2 million smolts were released to sea, with an average weight of 272 grams, up from 256 grams in 2024.. The Group plans to release 5.4 million smolts in total during 2025, with average weights ranging from 130 to 600 grams.

Operational performance in freshwater has steadily improved over the years, with higher efficiency, better quality, and increased average smolt weights. These improvements reflect solid progress in the Group's post-smolt strategy, and will be a important contributor to improved biological performance in sea, especially during the first winter period.

Licenses

The group has been working closely with the authorities, performing the necessary assessment for the license in Ísafjarðardjúp to be reissued, as it was revoked in the second half 2024 by Environmental and Natural Resources Board of Appeal. The Board of Appeal ruled that the Icelandic Food and Veterinary Authority (MAST) had not conducted a comprehensive, weighted assessment of the potential increased risk of the spread of fish diseases and parasites before issuing the license to Arnarlax. In addition, The Board of Appeal also raised maritime safety issues concerning one of the three sites in question. If the license is reissued the Group will receive licenses for 10,000 tonnes MAB sterile salmon on three new sites. The Ísafjarðardjúp is located on the northern part in the Westfjords of Iceland, which is an area considered good for salmon farming.

Sustainability and social responsibility

Icelandic Salmon is proud of its natural and sustainable approach to salmon farming in the pristine Arctic waters, a commitment strengthened by their brand launched in 2021. The company upholds strict quality standards while aiming to be a low-cost producer through sustainable biological practices and by prioritising the wellbeing of its salmon.

By integrating optimal biological practices with cost efficiency and streamlined processes, the Group has established itself as a successful and cost-effective producer of farmed salmon in Iceland. The Group values diversity and corporate social responsibility, acknowledging its roles as an employer, producer, supplier of healthy food, user of natural resources, and steward of financial and intellectual capital. Social responsibility is a core aspect of daily operations, with ongoing efforts to minimise environmental impact and generate local value with the smallest possible footprint.

Environmental issues are monitored and reported annually in the Group's Sustainability Report, available at www.arnarlax.is. This transparent approach showcases the Group's dedication to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices. Additionally, Icelandic Salmon emphasises the importance of social responsibility in the communities where it operates. In collaboration with Deloitte Iceland, Icelandic Salmon and its subsidiaries have been issuing a community footprint report in recent years, highlighting the Group's positive impact on the Icelandic economy.

In 2024, the Group's community footprint was ISK 1.6 billion. To give some context on the size, this value would represent a total of 1.5 per cent of the total export value of the Icelandic economy. The Group expect to continue to grow, and it is committed to enhancing its contribution to the Icelandic community, and especially in the local communities in which it operates. Full details of Arnarlax's community footprint report are available at www.arnarlax.is.

To document its sustainability and social responsibility efforts, the Group has chosen to be ASC certified.

THIS IS ICELANDIC SALMON ICELANDIC SALMON AS

Arnarlax ehf.

Arnarlax acquired full ownership of Eldisstöðin Ísþór (Ísþór) in May 2022, securing full control over smolt production at the Ísþór facility. This acquisition has increased flexibility in smolt production, both in volume and smolt size, increased optimalisation of MAB capacity in sea phase, shortened production time at sea, and strengthened biological risk management.

Ísþór currently holds an 2,700 tonnes MAB license for smolt production and has a production capacity of 3.3-4.0 million smolts annually, with average weights of 130-700 grams.

Acquired in 2021, Fjallalax ehf. (Fjallalax) is a smolt facility with access to geothermal water. Originally built for Arctic Char, it was converted for salmon smolt production, with renovations completed in 2022. The upgrades at Fjallalax were important for the Group's growth strategy to increase smolt production. Fjallalax holds a 100 tonnes MAB license for smolt production and has an annual production capacity of 1.3 million smolts. The smolts are transferred from Fjallalax to Ísþór and Laxabraut 5 for further production of large smolt and post-smolt.

Eldisstöðin Ísþór ehf. Fjallalax ehf. Icelandic Salmon ehf. Arnarlax Europe ApS

A subsidiary of Arnarlax with no current operations. The company was originally intended as a sales arm, but these plans were never realised. The Group retains ownership of the company primarily to preserve rights to the name.

Established in November 2024 to comply with new EU Customs rules, effective from 4 December 2024. These regulations require a confirmed buyer for shipments to Europe. Arnarlax Europe ApS ensures flexibility for in-transit sales, allowing sales opportunities during transport and preventing fresh fish from being stranded in Iceland.

Comprehensive Income

The Group's consolidated operating revenues for the first half of 2025 were EUR 35.5 million, down from EUR 37.2 million in the same period last year. The decline was driven by low market prices, with SISALMON 3–6 kg prices averaging EUR 9.73 in the first half of 2024 and EUR 7.18 in the same period of 2025, representing a year-overyear decrease of EUR 2.55 per kg.

Operational EBIT for the period was negative EUR 11.3 million, compared to negative EUR 4.3 million in the first half of 2024. This corresponds to a negative EBIT of EUR 2.23 per kilo, down from EUR 1.24 per kilo in the same period last year. A high cost base from biologically challenged harvested sites, significantly impacted results for first half 2025.

Production tax for the period amounted to EUR 1.7 million, compared to EUR 0.9 million in the first half of 2024. The increase was driven by higher harvested volumes and a higher fixed production fee set by the government.

Operational loss was EUR 26.2 million where of fair value adjustment corresponded to a negative EUR 13.0 million due to lower expected market prices, compared to a loss of EUR 2.5 million in the first half of 2024, which included a positive fair value adjustment of EUR 7.0 million.

Net financial items amounted to negative EUR 4.2 million, compared with negative EUR 1.6 million in the same period last year. Where the financial expenses increased from EUR 1.7 million to EUR 4.1 million, while the net currency result shifted from a gain of EUR 47 thousand to a loss of EUR 201 thousand.

Balance sheet

The Group's balance sheet on 30 June 2025 was at EUR 264.4 million, representing an increase of EUR 1.2 million from year-end 2024. Total equity was EUR 125.326 million at the end of the period. The equity ratio decreased from 57 per cent at the end of 2024 to 47 per cent. Non-current assets increased from EUR 146.8 million at year end of 2024 to EUR 154 million in the period, mainly due to increase in lease assets following the Group's new lease agreement for a Stingray laser for lice control, as well as ongoing investments supporting the

Group's growth strategy. Current assets decreased from EUR 116.5 million at end of 2024 to EUR 110.5 million at the end of June 2025, mainly due to decrease in biological assets.

Non-current liabilities increased from EUR 91.1 million at year-end 2024 to EUR 110.461 million at the end of June 2025. The increase was largely driven by drawdowns on the Group's facility agreement. At the same time, current liabilities increased from EUR 22.4 million from end of year 2024 to EUR 28.637 million at end of June 2025.

Cash Flow

In the first six months of 2025, net cash flow from operating activities was negative EUR 10.8 million, compared to a positive EUR 3.4 million in the same period in 2024. The decrease was mainly driven by low market prices and biological challenges, which led to elevated production costs for the 2023 generation in both the first and second quarter. In addition, working capital increased due to biomass build-up during the period.

Net cash flow from investing activities was EUR 5.7 million, slightly down from EUR 5.9 million in the first half of 2024. Investments were primarily directed toward expanding production capacity in both freshwater and seawater operations. This included preparations at the Hringsdalur site, where smolts now have been stocked, and the near-completion of the Laxabraut post-smolt facility, which is expected to receive fish later this year.

Net cash flow from financing activities was positive EUR 14.8 million in the first half of 2025, mainly reflecting proceeds from new interestbearing debt under the Group's facility agreement. This compares to a negative cash flow of EUR 6.2 million in the same period of 2024.

OUTLOOK

Since Icelandic Salmon's foundation, it has established a significant presence in Iceland's aquaculture industry. The industry is currently in its early stages but have over the last years experienced considerable growth, contributing significantly to the country's export revenues.

Leveraging optimal conditions for salmon farming in the fjords, the Group commits to responsible resource management for the benefit of its shareholders, employees, customers, local communities and the environment. With sustainability at the forefront, the Group aims to establish itself as leader of Iceland's aquaculture industry.

Salmon farming is recognised as one of the most sustainable animal protein production methods, offering advantages including efficient space use, minimal freshwater consumption, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Given the increasing global demand for nutritious, protein-rich food, aquaculture play a crucial role. The Group remains dedicated to pursuing sustainable growth in alignment with the salmon's natural environment.

New aquaculture legislation is expected to be introduced in Alþingi in September 2025. The Group is concerned that the uncertainty in the process of implementing a new aquaculture law could hinder Iceland's economic growth in the industry where global competitiveness is crucial.

The Group remains committed to working with policymakers and stakeholders to establish a balanced, competitive and predictable legal and fiscal framework and believes that it is important to pursue efficiency and economies of scale to remain competitive globally. Additionally, stable and predictable regulatory conditions are essential for the sustained growth of the aquaculture sector.

The Group continues to anticipate a limited increase in the global supply of harvested salmon, while at the same time expecting strong demand. This positive market outlook suggests continued growth in the years to come.

The Group has incorporated a strong corporate culture defined by values that include strong commitment to leadership in salmon farming, dedication to high quality, teamwork , and care for colleagues, customers, and the environment. These values are the foundation of the Group's continued success.

Ongoing organisational and cultural development remains key focus areas for the Group going forward. The Board of Directors extends gratitude to all employees for their commitment and dedication, which has fuelled the Group's remarkable journey year after year and will be key for continued growth going forward.

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost bases excepted for biological assets, which is measured at fair value with gain and losses recognized in the Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The same accounting policies and classification have been followed in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group´s Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2024. A full description of all material accounting principles used in the most recent Consolidated Financial Statements is given in the Group's 2024 annual report, which is available on the Company's website www.arnarlax.is. The Group has not early adopted any standards, interpretation or amendment with effective date after 1 January 2025. There are no new standards or amendments in short term perspective which have been issued, but are not yet effective, that are considered to have an impact on the Group. The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are unaudited.

2 Operating revenue and segmentation

The Group owns and operates fish farming sites in the Icelandic fjords along with hatchery operations. The main purpose of the Group is the production, processing and sale of seafood and seafood-based products, as well as conducting other business in connection with this purpose, including through investments and ownership in other companies with the same purpose. The Group operates and manages its business as one operating segment based on the manner in which the Chief Executive Officer, the Group's chief operating decision maker, assesses performance and allocates resources across the Group. The segment reporting is therefore identical to the Group Consolidated Financial Statements presented in the Group's Consolidated Annual Report of 2024.

The Group recognizes revenue from the sale of salmon at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer. The transfer of control to the customer depends on shipping terms, but will normally occur when the goods are delivered to the customer. Revenue from contracts with customers is recognized when control of the goods and the service has been transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and/or service.

Revenues from contracts with customers are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income net of discounts. Transaction prices are fixed upfront without any variable consideration. There is no right of return and refunds are only given if delivered goods are damaged or if there is a discrepancy in delivered goods compared to agreements. The normal credit term is 21 days upon delivery to the customers. Refunded amounts have historically been immaterial.

Revenue recognized at point in time (sale of goods) and revenue recognized over time (other revenue) is as follows:

Specifications of revenue: H1 2025 H1 2024 FY 2024
Sales of goods 35,178 37,122 101,106
Other revenues 273 113 349
Revenue from contracts with customers 35,451 37,235 101,455

Other revenues primarily include income from the sale of harvesting services, as well as lease revenues from employee accommodations, sales of sludge to processing companies and other services.

Disaggregated revenue from contracts with customers

The Group's revenue based on geographical markets from contracts with customers in which the revenue is earned are presented below:

Group revenues by geographic market: H1 2025 % H1 2024 % FY 2024 %
Europe 27,160 77% 29,477 79% 68,683 68%
North America 4,780 13% 3,498 9% 16,887 17%
Asia 3,510 10% 4,261 11% 15,884 16%
Other 0 0 0 0% 0 0%
Revenue from contracts with customers 35,451 100% 37,235 100% 101,455 100%

The operational income for the Group is denominated in EUR. In the first half of 2025, 73,2 per cent of the Group's operational income was generated in EUR (FY 2024: 63 per cent), while 23,7 per cent was generated in USD (FY 2024: 33,2 per cent). Since exchange rate volatility can impact the profitability of salmon sales, the Group has taken steps to mitigate currency risk by hedging all fixed price contracts denominated in currencies other than the operational currency.

3 Biological assets and inventories

Inventories

Inventories is comprised of feed, packaging materials and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the expected sales price less completion costs and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling, and distributing the inventory. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.

Finished products includes direct material cost, direct personnel expenses, and indirect processing cost (full production cost). Interest costs are not included in the inventory value. If cost value of finished product is estimated higher than realised sales value, based on judgement of the management, the finished products is revaluated based on best estimate on product valuation. Finished product is never valued over cost value. Value is based on the principle of first-in-first-out.

Raw materials comprise mainly feed for smolt and marine-phase fish production. It also includes raw materials for use in processing, as well as packaging and production. Stocks of biological assets are associated with farming activities on land and at sea, and comprise roe, fry, smolt and fish held at sea farm. Finished goods comprises whole salmon, fresh and frozen, as well as processed salmon products.

Biological assets held at sea farm at end of period 71,894 65,425 85,606

Incident-based mortality

In the event of incidents exceeding three per cent mortality in a period based on a single incident, or if the mortality exceeds five per cent over several periods based on one and the same incident, an assessment is made as to whether there is a basis for write-down. The assessment relates to the number of fish and is carried out at site level. Incident-based mortality is recognized under cost of goods sold in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income.

The estimate relates to the number of fish and is carried out at site level. The Group had incidents at one site in its sea farm in the first half of 2025, and basis for write-down on another site that resulted in incident-based mortality as defined above. The total effect on the Group's operational profit at cost was EUR 2.6 million.

Fair value

Fair value adjustments are part of the Group's operating profit/loss, but changes in fair value are presented on a separate line to provide a greater understanding of the Group's profit/loss on sold goods.

Estimated future revenues are calculated on the basis of Fish Pool forward prices on the balance sheet date. A quarterly price average is calculated, since the fish are harvested over several periods. Forward prices are adjusted for export supplements, shipping, sales and harvesting cost. An adjustment is also made for expected variations in fish quality. In the absence of the price quotations on Fish Pool, forward prices for 2026 and 2027 have been caluculated on the basis of price expectations obtained from industry analysts.

The monthly discount factor reflects the time value of money, the risk in biological production and a hypothetical fees in relation to the farming. The discount factor is based on expectations on profitability in the industry which impact the hypothetical fees.

Roe, fry and smolt are recognised at historic cost. Historic cost is deemed to be the best estimate of fair value for these assets, due to little biological conversion.

The fair value calculation is based on following forward prices in EUR:

Expected harvesting period: 30/06/2025 30/06/2024 31/12/2024

6 Alternative performance measures

The Group prepares its Financial Statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). In addition, management has established alternative performance parameters (APMs) to provide useful and relevant information to users of its Financial Statements. Alternative performance parameters have been established to provide greater understanding of the Company's underlying performance, and do not replace the Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with international accounting standards (IFRS): The performance parameters have been reviewed and approved by the Group's management and Board of Directors. Alternative performance parameters may be defined and used in other ways by other companies.

Operational EBIT

Operational EBIT is an APM and a non-IFRS metric used by the Company to evaluate its performance, reflecting the results of underlying operations for each period. As a widely recognized industry benchmark, Operational EBIT provides valuable insights to investors and other stakeholders. The difference between Operational EBIT and operating profit/loss arises from items the Group believes may impact comparability between periods or across companies in the industry. It is important to note that Operational EBIT is not intended to replace IFRS-based income statement measurements. Operational EBIT is calculated by excluding specific items that are not related to underlying operations.

H1 2025 H1 2024 FY 2024
Operating profit (26,244) 2,485 3,093
Production tax 1,705 898 3,038
Onerous Contracts 0 (653) (653)
Restructuring cost 234 0 0
Fair value adjustments of biomass 12,977 (7,045) (11,370)
Operational EBIT (11,328) (4,316) (5,893)

Production tax

The production tax represents resource tax in Iceland. It Increased the loss by EUR 1.7 million in H1 2025 compared to EUR 0.9 million in H1 2024 and 3.0 million for the full year 2024.

Operational EBIT per kg gutted weight

Operational EBIT per kg gutted weight (GW) is defined as a key APM for the Group. The performance parameter is used to assess the profitability of the goods sold and the Group's operations. The performance parameter is expressed per kg of harvested volume.

H1 2025 H1 2024 FY 2024
Operational EBIT (11,328) (4,316) (5,893)
Harvested volume (tonnes) 5,084 3,471 11,688
Operational EBIT per kg gutted weight (2.2) (1.24) (0.50)

Net interest bearing debt (NIBD)

Net interest bearing debt is an alternative performance measure used by the Group. The performance measure Net interest bearing debt is an alternative performance measure used by the Group. The performance measure is used to express the Group's working capital, and is an important performance measure for investors and other users, because it shows net borrowed capital used to finance the Group. Net interest-bearing debt is defined as long-term and short-term debt to credit institutions, less cash and cash equivalents. Lease liabilities under IFRS 16 are not included in the calculation of Net interest-bearing debt.
