Normalized farming EBITDA cost ~76 NOK/kg in Q3

Effects of higher feed factor and cost allocation Negative effect ~6 NOK/kg

  • ~8 % negative harvest deviation during the quarter resulted in temporary higher than expected feed conversion ratio and a higher feed cost per kg.
  • We follow standard accounting practices on allocation of cost; negative harvest deviations have timing effects on fixed costs allocation
  • More of costs should have been allocated to fish already harvested.
  • Underlying Q3 farming EBITDA cost ~76 NOK/kg.
  • Reported results typically reflect production increases with a ~6-month delay, meaning current figures do not yet capture the full benefit of higher output.

ILLUSTRATION

Farming cost = all about good biology and scale

Farming EBITDA cost NOK/kg

  • Backdrop: Continued stable operations across the farm with consistently minimal mortality.
  • Farming costs at current capacity utilization lower than reported figures – lag effect.
  • In a fully operational farm, nearly half of the cost base is 'f xed'; Highly scalable cost base.
  • Feed, oxygen and harvest costs are considered fully variable.
  • At current run-rate capacity utilization, the underlying Farming EBITDA cost is around 71 NOK/kg1 .
  • Meeting cost targets is all about improvements in feed factor, consistently meeting biological targets and full utilization.
  • Further scaling effects with phase 2 fully operational of 5-6 %.

OUR APPROACH ALLOWS FOR ENHANCED PRICE REALIZATION COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL FARMING METHODS

Built in price premium of 5-7 NOK/kg

Phase 2 building activity at peak

CASH FLOW OPERATIONS -40.6 NOKm

EQUITY RATIO 54 %

NET INTEREST- R ' ' 1 358 NOKm

  • Phase 2 on time and budget. Building activity at peak.
  • Cash flow from financing and increase in NIBD reflect that first drawdown of construction financing completed early July as planned.
  • Cash flow from operations reflecting weak salmon prices in the quarter.
  • Slight increase in working capital compared to last quarter.
  • Standing biomass at almost identical to end Q2-25.
  • Timing effect on receivables and payables.
  • Cash and cash equivalents of 156 NOKm excluded amounts available under the existing bank facilities.

Subject consent from lenders

Reiterate positive outlook for 2026

Global supply expected to dry up in 2026

  • Global supply expected to dry up in 2026, primarily due to regulations capping supply in Norway and lower growth in other regions.
  • Ideal conditions in Norway (~50 % of global supply) leading to record volumes in 2025.
  • Historically strong correlation between supply growth/contractions and price.
  • Price estimates being rapidly revised upwards significant price recovery in Q3.

Prices strongly correlated to supply

Appendices

  • In phase 1 we laid the foundation and established much of the operational platform needed in Phase 2 and 3 as reflected in the gradually decreasing Farming EBITDA cost/kg.
  • With Phase 2, we expect scaling effects to reduce Farming EBITDA cost/kg by approximately 5 6%. Additional economies of scale are anticipated once Phase 3 is fully operational, further enhancing cost efficiency and profitability.
  • Illustration is based on current input factors and currency rates, and a long-term average feed cost of 20 NOK/kg.
