The performance related to the Faroe Islands and Scotland as a region can be found in the Appendix.
The long-term goal of the Board of Directors is that 30-50% of earnings per share shall be paid out as a dividend. Bakkafrost's financial position is strong, with a solid balance sheet, a competitive operation, and available credit facilities. The Annual General Meeting convened on April 30 2025, decided to pay out a dividend of DKK 8.44 (NOK 13.37) per share. The total dividend of DKK 501 million (NOK 781 million) was paid in May 2025.
The supply of salmon increased 16.6% in Q2 2025 compared to Q2 2024, incl. inventory movements. Without inventory movements, the supply increase was 18.1%, according to the latest estimate from Kontali Analyse.
Salmon reference prices (in NOK) for 4-5kg superior salmon were 33.3% lower this quarter compared to Q2 2024. The price reduction was driven by substantial increase in supply from several regions, most dominantly from Norway following improved biology and strong growth due to higher seawater temperature.
The global supply is expected to increase around 5% in H2 2025, compared to H2 2024. For the full year 2025, the global supply is expected grow around 9%.
In Q2 2025, the salmon market has been strongly affected by the massive supply increase in the quarter, especially from Norway but also from Chile, the Faroe Islands and Iceland. The improved biology in Norway has also increased the share of superior fish sold to the market, consequently leading to a unexpected oversupply to the spot market.
Bakkafrost has a strong focus on ensuring a well-balanced flow to the different markets to increase diversification and mitigate market risk. Bakkafrost operates in the main salmon markets, Europe, the USA, and the Far East. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Bakkafrost has stopped all trading with Russia.
In Q2 2025, the biological performance in the Faroese farming operation continued to strengthen and reached one of the best positions ever. Sea lice levels were well controlled, and harvest weights have been high, despite one farming site deliberately being harvested early to fit with the production plan and smolt restocking schedule. Feeding volumes have been record-breaking, while growth and survivability rates have increased significantly. Total farming costs continue to trend down from the peek-levels in 2023- 2024, driven by the strong biological performance and lower feed costs. Due to strong biological performance, Bakkafrost is increasing it's Faroese harvest target for 2025 to 82,000 tonnes.
Continuous improvements also characterise the Faroese freshwater operation with increased the production volume of large high-quality smolt. The capacity utilization is growing with increased production volume and downward-trending production costs. The volume is projected to rise in 2025, with smolt weights a bit higher than in 2024. The current hatchery capacity in the Faroes allows for an annual smolt production of 9,000 tonnes, equalling 18 million smolt of 500g. This will increase to 24.4 million smolt of 500g when the ongoing construction of the new hatchery in Skálavík will be finished late 2026. The construction of the hatchery progresses according to plan and the operation is expected to start in Q2 2026. In Q2 2025, the average weight of transferred smolt in the Faroe Islands was 464g, which is 19% higher than in 2024.
In Q2 2025, some Scottish marine farming sites faced disease issues, resulting in higher mortality costs and writedowns until mid-July. However, strong biological performance at other sites led to good harvest weights and growth. As a result, Bakkafrost has raised Scotland's 2025 harvest target to 22,000 tonnes.
The fish affected by disease in the quarter were "legacyfish", representing the reduced smolt quality from the past. During 2025 and into 2026, the biomass at sea will gradually change character, transitioning to be based on large and high-quality smolt. This strategic shift is expected to enhance overall fish health and growth rates, leading to a more robust and sustainable aquaculture environment.
In the Scottish freshwater operation the main focus is to continue the ramp-up of the production of large high-quality smolt from Applecross. This is not a straight-line development, but a delicate and gradual process involving some level of risk which reduces as the operation is finetuned, and all procedures executed at least once. While some of the production modules at Applecross display good performance with strong growth and low mortality, diseasedriven exceptional mortality was experienced in one of the Applecross modules in this quarter, as reported on 15th July 2025.
Since the previous quarter, the new Applecross 6 module has been commissioned and started operation. The Applecross hatchery now has a production capacity of around 3,500 tonnes of smolt annually, planned to be transferred at weights above 200g.
In Q2 2025, the average weight of transferred smolt from Applecross in Scotland was 232g, which is 80% higher than in Q1 2024. The average smolt weight for all Bakkafrost's smolt release in Scotland in the quarter was 170g, which is 79% higher than in Q2 2024.
A secure and steady ramp-up of the Scottish freshwater operation is essential to strengthen overall performance in Scotland. Until now, the Scottish freshwater department has worked closely with its Faroese peer to ensure effective knowledge transfer and alignment on best practices.
To further consolidate this, the two freshwater departments have now been merged under the leadership of the Group Freshwater Director, based in the Faroe Islands. This step ensures a unified approach across geographies and leverages the Group's extensive experience in freshwater management. At the same time, the local team in Scotland continues to play a central role in daily operations, with site management at Applecross further reinforced through the relocation of experienced colleagues from the Faroes to support and complement the Scottish workforce.
Bakkafrost's expected smolt transfer in 2025 in the Faroe Islands is around 18.5 million smolts with an average weight of around 430g. In Scotland, the smolt transfer plan and smolt production strategy is currently under review by the new Group Freshwater Management. Depending on the conclusions from this review on optimal capacity utilisation and smolt sizes, the smolt transfer for 2025 is expected to be 6-7 million smolt. The number and average weight of smolts transferred are key elements of predicting Bakkafrost's future production.

For 2025, Bakkafrost increases the expected harvest in the Faroe Islands from 77,000 tonnes to around 82,000 tonnes gutted weight. The expected harvest in Scotland is also increased from 20,000 tonnes to around 22,000 tonnes gutted weight. This gives an increased total harvest in 2025 of around 104,000 tonnes gutted weight. The quarterly harvest profile is outlined in in the table below. Biological, environmental and market conditions can affect the expected harvest profile.
Expected harvest profile in 2025 as a % of total harvest pr. region:
| Region | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FO | 23% | 20% | 29% | 29% |
| SCT | 29% | 32% | 19% | 20% |
The estimates for harvest volumes and smolt transfers in both geographies are dependent on biological development.
Bakkafrost's highly flexible value chain includes state-of-theart VAP processing capacity, which enables the company to adapt effectively to rapidly changing market situations.
As a result of changes in the Faroese revenue tax, Bakkafrost has adjusted the strategy for contracted VAP (Value-Added Products) to reduce contract exposure.
For 2025, Bakkafrost intends to sign contracts covering around 15-20% of the expected harvest volumes in the Faroe Islands and Scotland combined.
The outlook of fishmeal and fish oil production is dependent on the availability of raw materials.
The ICES 2025 recommendation for blue whiting is 1,447 thousand tonnes, which represents a 5.4% decrease from the recommendation for 2024.
In 2025 Bakkafrost expects similar production volumes of fishmeal and fish oil as in 2025.
Bakkafrost expects the feed production at Havsbrún to be around 150,000 tonnes in 2025. Close to all of this will be sold internally to Bakkafrost's Faroese and Scottish Farming segments.
On the Capital Markets Day on 17-18 June 2025, Bakkafrost announced a 5.0bn DKK investment plan for 2026-2030. The main purpose is to improve efficiency, reduce biological risk and enable continued sustainable growth in the Faroe Islands and Scotland.
The investments in the Faroe Islands will increase the annual smolt production capacity to 24.4 million smolt of 500g. The feed production capacity and flexibility are also increased to further improve R&D capabilities and meet the growing demand for feed as harvest volumes increase in the Faroe Islands and Scotland. Also, investments in new farming sites and new farming technology are included, as well as investments to improve harvest capacity and flexibility with Live Fish Holding Tanks.
In Scotland, planned investments include site expansions and optimisation as well as building a new harvest and processing facility to accommodate the growing harvest volume.
As a shared service to the Group, the investment plan includes building 2 new dual-freshwater treatment vessels in the FSV segment.
2026-2030 Investment programme per category (DKK 1,000)

Incorporated into the investment plan is also 245mDKK earmarked to energy transition, spread across the value chain.
With the investment plan, Bakkafrost expects to sustainably grow the total annual harvest volumes to 162,000 tonnes in 2030.

The global salmon product market's long-term balance is likely to favour Bakkafrost. Bakkafrost has a long value chain and a cost-efficient production of high-quality salmon products and will likely maintain financial flexibility going forward.
In March 2022, Bakkafrost secured a 700 mEUR sustainability-linked credit facility (expandable by 150 mEUR) with a 5-year term and 2-year extension options which have been executed. This facility, along with Bakkafrost's strong equity ratio, bolsters the Group's financial strength for organic growth and cost reduction in Scotland, while also facilitating M&A and future organic growth opportunities, and upholding an unchanged dividend policy.
Since the announcement of the 2026-2030 investment plan on the CMD in 2025, Bakkafrost has decided to let some of the investments planned for 2025 rollover into 2026 due to the weak market outlook for 2025. Consequently, the timing of other investments in the announced 2026-2030 plan have been adjusted.

In Q2 2025, Havsbrún received 159,951 tonnes (90,575 tonnes) of raw material for fishmeal and fish oil production. The raw material intake depends on the North Atlantic fisheries and available species of fish. The ratio of fishmeal to fish-oil output therefore varies with both the mix of species landed and the timing of the fishery. In H1 2025, Havsbrún received 269,453 tonnes (227,449 tonnes) of raw material.
The fishmeal production in Q2 2025 was 33,942 tonnes (19,104 tonnes). Fish oil production in Q2 2025 was 2,196 tonnes (1,241 tonnes). In H1 2025, Havsbrún produced 56,806 tonnes (48,306 tonnes) of fishmeal.
Fish feed sales amounted to 37,533 tonnes (32,949 tonnes) in Q2 2025. The FO farming segment internally used 30,241 tonnes (22,739 tonnes). The SCT farming segment internally used 6,807 tonnes (9,885 tonnes). In H1 2025, Havsbrún sold 68,871 tonnes (59,995 tonnes) of fish feed.
The operating revenue for the FOF segment amounted to DKK 665 million (DKK 687 million) in Q2 2025. Total revenue for the FOF segment in Q2 2025 was lower than the same quarter last year. The decrease in revenue is due to reduced sold volumes of both fish oil and fishmeal. In H1 2025, the revenue amounted to DKK 1,152 million (DKK 1,425 million).
Operational EBIT was DKK 89 million (DKK 112 million) in Q2 2025, and the operational EBIT margin was 13% (16%). In H1 2025, the operational EBIT was DKK 153 million (DKK 289 million), and the operational EBIT margin was 13% (20%).
The two Freshwater segments both include broodstock and smolt production in hatcheries on land. In the broodstock operation, eggs are produced from breeding self-owned salmon strains. Eggs are sold to the hatcheries who in turn produce from egg to smolt, which are sold to the Farming operations in the Faroe Islands and Scotland. There are two similar Freshwater segments – one in the Faroe Islands and one in Scotland. The Freshwater segments rely on certain services provided by the Services segment, such as waste handling for biogas production.

P/F Bakkafrost is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in the Faroe Islands.
The Group's Annual Report 2024 is available at www.bakkafrost.com or upon request from the company's registered office at Bakkavegur 9, FO-625 Glyvrar, Faroe Islands.
This Condensed Consolidated Interim Report is presented in DKK.
This Condensed Consolidated Interim Report is prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. It does not include all the information required for the full Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts and should be read in conjunction with the Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts for the Group as of 31 December 2024.
This interim report has not been subject to any external audit.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this Condensed Consolidated Interim Report are the same as those used in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
The preparation of financial statements is in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and recognized amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. The most significant estimates relate to the valuation of the fair value of biological assets. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on the management's best assessment at the time of reporting. All changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they occur.
Bakkafrost has made no significant changes in the estimates for these interim financial statements compared with the annual financial statements.
Bakkafrost has changed the internal invoicing between the Farming and Sales and other segments to better align with industry peers and comply with applicable tax regulations. The change is that freight is no longer included in the salmon price between the segments, ensuring a more transparent and comparable pricing structure. The change is made from 1 Jan 2025, and no adjustments are made for 2024 as the intercompany invoicing is unchanged for 2024. The change affects the segments revenue and costs figures with the same amount and has no impact on operational EBIT. Nor has the change any effect on consolidated revenue, operational EBIT, profit, or equity. Freight adjusted numbers for 2024 are found in appendix B.
Descriptions of the accounting estimates are in the notes to the financial statements in the Annual Report 2024.

Note 5.2 in Bakkafrost's Annual Report for 2024 provides detailed information on related parties' transactions.
Transactions between P/F Bakkafrost and its subsidiaries meet the definition of related party transactions. As these transactions are eliminated on consolidation, they are not disclosed as related party transactions.
As of ended 30 June 2025, the Group held the following classes of assets/liabilities measured at fair value:
| DKK 1,000 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | |||||
| Assets and liabilities measured at fair value | Fair value | amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| Biological assets (biomass) | 2,588,847 | 2,781,172 | 0 | 0 | 2,588,847 |
| Assets measured at fair value 30/06-2025 | 2,588,847 | 2,781,172 | 0 | 0 | 2,588,847 |
| Liabilities measured at fair value 30/06-2025 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Biological assets (biomass) | 3,138,657 | 2,766,132 | 0 | 0 | 3,138,657 |
| Assets measured at fair value 31/12-2024 | 3,138,657 | 2,766,132 | 0 | 0 | 3,138,657 |
| Liabilities measured at fair value 31/12-2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
All assets/liabilities for which fair value is recognized or disclosed are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable).
Level 3: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable).
For biological assets, the fair value calculation uses a valuation model (level 3 in the valuation hierarchy) where the value is estimated based on observable market prices per period end.
For more information on these calculations, please refer to Note 4.
For assets/liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement).
There have been no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
There have not been any new business combinations in 2025, nor in 2024.
Net interest-bearing debt consists of both current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities, less related current and non-current hedging instruments, lease liabilities, financial instruments, such as debt instruments and derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. The net interest-bearing debt is a measure of the Group's net indebtedness that provides an indicator of the overall balance sheet strength. It is also a single measure that can be used to assess both the Group's cash position and its indebtedness. The use of the term net debt does not necessarily mean that the cash included in the net debt calculation is available to settle the liabilities included in this measure. Net debt is an alternative performance measure as it is not defined in IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is the aggregate interest-bearing liabilities (both current and non-current), derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. A reconciliation is provided below.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortizations (EBITDA) is a key financial parameter for Bakkafrost's FOF segment. EBITDA before other income and other expenses is defined as EBITDA less gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets and operations and is reconciled in the section Group overview. This measure is useful to users of Bakkafrost's financial information in evaluating operating profitability on a more variable cost basis as it excludes depreciation and amortization expenses related primarily to capital expenditures and acquisitions, which occurred in the past, nonrecurring items, as well as evaluating operating performance in relation to Bakkafrost's FOF segment's competitors. The EBITDA margin is defined as EBITDA before other income and other expenses divided by total revenues.
Return on average capital employed (ROCE) is the period's operational EBIT divided by the average capital employed, which is total assets adjusted for total current liabilities. The performance measure is expressed as a percentage and is useful for evaluating Bakkafrost's profitability.
