Revenues and profits for the Group

(Figures in brackets = 2015 unless other is specified)

Operations and profit

AKVA group delivered its best second quarter and first half ever revenues and EBITDA wise, and is ending the quarter with the highest order backlog ever.

The cage based segment in the Nordic region continues strongly with a good performance in Q2. A broad range of products continue to contribute to the margins. Cage based Export also delivers decent numbers in Q2. There is low activity in Chile for the fourth quarter in a row. This is due to challenging market conditions for our customers. Also Canada had a relatively weaker Q2 compared to last year. The reduced performance in Americas in Q2 gives a reduced EBITDA of 8 MNOK year on year in Q2 for the region.

Software continues with good performance and improved margins year on year.

The land based segment continues to improve its performance with good margins and the highest order backlog ever in Q2. Land based is becoming a significant part of AKVA group.

Continued strong market activity during Q2 has materialized in the highest order backlog ever for AKVA group for the fourth quarter in a row.

A half yearly dividend of 0.75 NOK will be paid in Q3 2016 due to good underlying operational performance.

Balance sheet continues to be strong.

Total revenue in Q2 was 408.2 MNOK (401.5) with an EBITDA of 42.6 MNOK (40.9). EBIT was 25.9 MNOK (30.1).

Net financial items in Q2 was -5.8 MNOK (-3.0), resulting in a profit before tax of 20.2 MNOK (27.0). The increase in net financial items year on year in Q2 is mostly explained by currency movements and acquisition costs.

Net profit was 12.4 MNOK (19.5) after allowing for taxes of 7.8 MNOK (7.5).

YTD revenues for the first half of 2016 was 800.7 MNOK (726.5) with an EBITDA of 82.2 MNOK (67.5). YTD EBIT for the first half of 2016 was 50.9 MNOK (46.2).

Business segments

AKVA group has organized its business into three technology segments;

  • Cage based technologies (CBT): Includes cages, barges, feed systems and other operational technologies and systems for cage based aquaculture,
  • Land based technologies (LBT): Includes recirculation systems and technologies for land based aquaculture, and
  • Software (SW): Includes software solutions and professional services.

Revenue by segments (Q2 2016)

AKVA group also has organized its business into three geographical segments;

  • Nordic: Includes the Nordic countries,
  • Americas: Includes Americas and Oceania, and
  • Export: Includes the rest of the world.

Nordic 77 % Americas 9 % Export 14 %

Revenue by region (Q2 2016)

AKVA group also divides its business between CAPEX and OPEX based

revenue (formerly called recurring and non-recurring business);

  • CAPEX based: Revenue classified as CAPEX in our customers' accounts
  • OPEX based: Revenue classified as OPEX in our customers' accounts

Revenue CAPEX or OPEX based (Q2 2016)

AKVA group business may also be divided between revenue from technology and services to salmon, other species and non-seafood;

  • Salmon: Revenue from technology and services sold to production of salmon
  • Other species: Revenue from technology and services sold to production of other species than salmon
  • Non Seafood: Revenue from technology and services sold to non seafood customers

Revenue by species (Q2 2016)

The following information is divided into the three technology segments. Comments on the geographical segments are included where relevant.

Cage based technologies (CBT)

CBT revenue in Q2 was 280.3 MNOK (315.3). Revenue in the Nordic region was 192.5 MNOK (195.5), in the Americas region 30.3 MNOK (65.8) and in the Export region 57.5 MNOK (54.1).

EBITDA for CBT in Q2 was 28.8 MNOK (32.7) resulting in an EBITDA margin of 10.3% (10.4%). EBIT in Q2 was 17.1 MNOK (24.8) representing an EBIT margin of 6.1% (7.9%).

Nordic

Nordic CBT had a good performance in Q2. A wide range of products continues to contribute to the good financial performance. Main drivers were the AKVAsmart products (sensors and feed systems), barges, Polarcirkel cages, service and rental.

Americas

We have experienced reduced activity in Americas this quarter compared to same quarter last year resulting in a reduction to EBITDA year on year of 8 MNOK.

There has been low activity in Chile in Q2 and we have also experienced reduced service sales in the quarter.

Canada had an unusually slow quarter with some shift of deliveries and revenue to next quarters.

Australia continues to be a small, but profitable operation.

Export

UK had a decent first half of the year and continues to have a high level of OPEX based revenue.

Turkey had a very good first half of the year and we are experiencing increased activity in the Sea Bass and Sea Bream industry in the Mediterranean.

Export to emerging markets experienced a decent quarter with increased activity in some markets, especially in Iran. Emerging markets are dominated by a few but large contracts and this gives variations in the P&L quarter by quarter.

YTD revenues for CBT for the first half of 2016 was 556.8 MNOK (574.2) with an EBITDA of 58.9 MNOK (55.7). EBIT was 37.2 MNOK (40.1) after depreciations of 21.7 MNOK (15.6).

Software (SW)

Revenue for SW in Q2 2016 was 31.6 MNOK (31.0). The EBITDA was 5.4 MNOK (4.8) resulting in an EBITDA margin of 16.9% (15.4%) and an EBIT of 2.5 MNOK (2.5) representing an EBIT margin of 7.8% (8.2%).

Software has ended another good quarter.

Both AKVA group Software AS and Wise lausnir ehf experienced improved performance year on year in Q2.

Wise Blue AS, a Norwegian subsidiary of Wise lausnir ehf, is a small but profitable business.

Software continues to invest in new product modules, which is expected to strengthen the financial performance of the software segment further.

YTD operating revenues for SW was 68.0 MNOK (61.8) with an EBITDA of 11.2 MNOK (9.1). EBIT was 5.6 MNOK (4.5) after depreciation of 5.7 MNOK (4.5).

Land based technologies (LBT)

LBT Q2 2016 revenue was 96.3 MNOK (55.3) with an EBITDA of 8.4 MNOK (3.4) resulting in an EBITDA margin of 8.7% (6.1%) and an EBIT of 6.4 MNOK (2.7) representing an EBIT margin of 6.7% (5.0%).

LBT have had a significant improved performance year on year in Q2.

Both Plastsveis AS and Aquatec Solutions A/S had a good first half of 2016. AKVA group Denmark A/S had another decent quarter, but there is still potential for further improvements financially.

The land based segment ended the quarter with a record high order backlog and represents 53% of the total order backlog in the Group at the end of Q2 2016. Land based increased its revenues year on year with 74% and was 23% of total revenues in Q2 2016, hence land based is becoming a significant part of AKVA group.

YTD operating revenues were 175.9 MNOK (90.6) and YTD EBITDA was 12.1 MNOK (2.7). The YTD EBIT was 8.2 MNOK (1.5).

Balance sheet and cash flow

The balance sheet remains strong.

The working capital in the Group balance sheet, defined as non-interest bearing current assets less noninterest bearing current liabilities was 109 MNOK at the end of Q2 2016, compared to 145 MNOK at the end of Q2 2015. Working capital as a percentage of 12 months rolling revenue has improved YoY from 10.6% to 7.5%. We are able to maintain a very low working capital despite record high activity.

Cash and unused credit facilities amounted to 203 MNOK at the end of Q2 2016 versus 157 MNOK at the end of Q2 2015. The total credit facility at Danske Bank is 90 MNOK.

Net interest-bearing debt was 172 MNOK at the end of Q2 2016 compared to 76 MNOK at the end of Q2 2015. The increase is mainly due to a bank loan financing the acquisition of AD Offshore AS in Q2 2016. Gross interest-bearing debt was 323.8 MNOK at the end of Q2 2016 versus 142.9 MNOK at the end of Q2 2015. The short term interest bearing debt in our balance sheet includes the next 12 months installments of the long term debt. This is in accordance to current IFRS requirements.

CAPEX in Q2 2016 amounted to 17.1 MNOK of which 4.5 MNOK was capitalized R&D expenses in accordance to IFRS and 1.9 MNOK was related to rental. Total 2015 investments were 75.8 MNOK whereof 19.0 MNOK was capitalized R&D expenses in accordance to IFRS and 29.7 MNOK was related to rental. Annualized CAPEX as percentage of revenue was 4% in Q2 and annualized CAPEX as percentage of revenue in 2015 was 5%.

Return on capital employed (ROCE) in Q2 2016 ended at 14.0% (15.2%).

Total assets and total equity amounted to 1,180 MNOK and 460 MNOK respectively, resulting in an equity ratio of 38.9% (41.5%) at the end of Q2 2016.

Other shareholder issues

Earnings per share in Q2 2016 was 0.55 NOK (0.74). Earnings per share in 2015 was 2.20 NOK. The calculations are based on 25,834,303 (25,834,303) shares average.

The 20 largest shareholders are presented in note 4 in this report.

AKVA Marine Services AS – our new Farming Services vehicle

The merger process of AKVA group's farming services entities (YesMaritime AS, Rogaland Sjøtjenester AS and AD Offshore AS) was completed in June 2016.

AKVA group ASA owns 65% of AKVA Marine Services AS.

The acquisition process with Techno Dive announced in May 2016 has been terminated, however we are actively seeking other strategic opportunities. We expect the farming services market to grow in the coming years and we expect a consolidation of the players. AKVA group is well positioned to participate in this development and will pursue several opportunities.

Atlantis Subsea Farming AS

Atlantis Subsea Farming AS is in dialogue with the Directorate of Fisheries and we are waiting for a final decision.

In partnership with the companies Sinkaberg-Hansen AS and Egersund Net AS, AKVA group ASA established the company Atlantis Subsea Farming AS on February 1st, 2016 with the purpose of developing submersible fish-farming facilities for salmon on an industrial scale. Atlantis Subsea Farming AS has applied for six development licences to enable largescale development and testing of the new technology and operational concept.

The work on Atlantis started in summer 2014, and experts from all three companies have been and will continue to be involved in the work with the ATLANTIS concept.

Through its innovative development work, ATLANTIS aims both to contribute to better and more sustainable use of current farming sites, as well as to enable use of more exposed sites than is currently possible. The goal is to achieve production gains and improve fish welfare by submerging the facilities, as they will be far less exposed to the environmental and physical conditions than in a surface position.

Large-scale testing will focus on thirdparty documentation of fish welfare and production performance, the technological capabilities of the system, and safeguarding the occupational health and safety of employees.

There are many risks associated with the project, and the testing of the technological and operational solutions requires large-scale testing beyond what can be done in today's fish farms based on traditional operating methods. The further progress of the project and our ability to ensure a methodical approach thus depends on us being granted development licences.

Although ATLANTIS represents a significant leap forward in terms of innovation, it is also an objective for the concept to keep costs at a level that helps strengthen the industry's competitive position. The aim is also that the technology and operating methods developed through ATLANTIS can be made available and adopted by the industry relatively quickly.

Half yearly dividend pay out

The Company's main objective is to maximize the return on the investment made by its shareholders through both increased share prices and dividend payments. Based on the financial performance and outlook for the company the Board launched a dynamic half yearly dividend policy for AKVA group ASA in 2014. The dividend policy is also made available on http://ir.akvagroup.com/investorrelations/the-share/dividend.

The board of directors was authorised in the AGM in May 2016, pursuant to the Public Limited Companies Act § 8- 2(2), to approve the distribution of dividends based on the Company annual accounts for 2015. The authorisation also includes distribution in the form of repayment of paid-incapital. The authorisation may be used to approve the distribution of dividends up to an aggregated amount of NOK 75.000.000.

AKVA group ASA aims to pay out dividends twice every year, after the first half and the second half of the year.

AKVA group has a two step dividend policy:

The dividend level shall reflect the present and expected future cash generating potential of AKVA group. AKVA group will target a net interest-bearing debt/equity ratio of less than 0.5x

When the target debt vs. equity level is met, at least 60% of the annual free cash flow after operational and financial commitments is intended to be distributed as dividend

Applicable statutory restrictions shall be observed.

Step one above: NIBD/equity - ratio = 0.38, hence this criteria is fulfilled.

Step two: A good underlying performance gives good operational cash flow in the first half of 2016.

A dividend of 0.75 NOK per share will be paid out in Q3 2016. Total dividend pay out in Q3 2016 will be 19.4 MNOK.

The shares in the company will be traded "ex dividend" as from August 26th, 2016 and payment of the dividend shall be made no later than September 5th, 2016.

Market and future outlook

The order inflow in Q2 was 533 MNOK (348). The order backlog at the end of Q2 was 822 MNOK (493). This is the highest order backlog ever for AKVA group.

MNOK 437 of total order backlog at end of Q2 is related to Land based technology (LBT).

We have a good mid term outlook due to high market activity and the large order backlog. The activity level is particularly high in the Nordic market segment.

The good demand in the Nordic cage based segment continues, with a shift towards sale of technology for more efficient production.

The land based segment has experienced increased activity and improved margins. This trend is expected to continue and the land based segment is becoming a larger part of AKVA group.

UK and Europe is expected to perform well going forward with a growing order backlog.

Canada experienced slightly less project sales so far compared to last year and we have moderate expectations in this market going forward.

We still have low expectations in Chile, but there are some positive signs towards the end of the year. Our exposure in Chile is reduced compared to prior years.

Our Turkey and Australian operations are expected to continue to perform well in the next quarters with a good order backlog.

Exports to emerging markets have seen a more optimistic start of the year than last year. The activity is still expected to fluctuate due to the nature of the business.

AKVA group is actively seeking strategic M&A opportunities within relevant segments.

We continue our effort to build service and after sales as a key business element in all our markets and segments.
