UNDERLINES HEALTHY POOL CONDITIONS

HIGH GROWTH

  • "Fish growth…has been higher throughout the period than that indicated for fish in this weight and temperature range (4-14 degrees Celsius) by reference growth tables."
  • "It is also in the upper range of values reported in several previous studies, overall."
  • "The growth in the Andfjord Salmon system is high also when compared with studies utilising semi-closed containment systems."

PATENTED LAMINAR WATER FLOW: Overview of the sampling points for horizontal and vertical water and velocity profiling of the system prior and during salmon production at Andfjord Salmon

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS

  • "Water current speeds, whilst low, did not manifest in poor water quality and may have been increased by the presence of fish in the system."
  • "The water temperature was somewhat more stable than what would be expected at corresponding depths in open cages and followed seasonal patterns in ambient temperatures."
  • "The low natural water temperatures the fish were subjected to over the autumn through spring did not manifest in any welfare or performance risks, or risks for e.g. winter ulcers."
  • "There is presently little to indicate that increasing the biomass density in the Andfjord system beyond 25 kg/m3 will increase the risk of fish welfare states, if good water quality and rearing practices are otherwise maintained."

FISH WELFARE / HEALTH

  • "External gill health services have reported good gill health during the production cycle. This correlates with the low number of gill health risks the fish have been exposed to. Various gill health risks can include mechanical delousing, high turbidity and poor water quality."
  • "Overall, the injury status of the fish has generally been good with the majority of injury based OWIs being scored as absent or mild according to the Laksvel scoring system."
  • "Mortalities…were very low in the rearing system (ca. 2.5% for the entire documentation period)"

FISH BEHAVIOUR

SECOND NOFIMA REPORT EMPHASIZES STRONG FISH WELFARE/HEALTH

  • "Appetite as an OWI was scored according to Laksvel and has been generally been good throughout the documentation period."
  • "The grouping structure of the fish in the pool was relatively consistent at both low and high water throughout the production cycle."
  • "No erratic swimming was noted during any of the low and highwater observation points."
  • "No dense clumping behaviour or fleeing/panic behaviour was noted during any of the daily observation periods from mid-July 2022 until slaughter in late June/July 2023."
  • "The vertical distribution of the majority of the fish became stable two months after smolt transfer, at both low and high water."

Q3 Q1 20234

THIS IS HOW WE WILL DO IT NOTE: SIMPLIFIED ILLUSTRATIVE EXAMPLE OF PRODUCTION CYCLE

SMOLT RELEASE Smolt weight: 100-150 grams

AFTER 3 MONTHS Smolt weight: 500 grams

AFTER 6 MONTHS Post-smolt weight: ~ 1,000 grams

AFTER 12-15 MONTHS Salmon harwest weight: 4-6 kg

Q3 Q1 20234

MULTIPLE BENEFICIARIES

  • More robust fish released to sea, less susceptible to diseases
  • Shorter production cycle in sea: e.g. a reduction from 17-19 to 10 months
  • Reduced exposure time to salmon lice
  • Improved utilisation of MAB license
  • Financial benefits of potentially higher survival rates

OCEAN-BASED FISH FARMERS

  • More robust fish released to sea, less susceptible to diseases = enhanced fish welfare
  • Reduced exposure to salmon lice and other biological risks in the sea such as winter ulcers and jellyfish
  • Farmed for longer period in a controlled, closed cage environment, benefiting from natural advantages of combining land and ocean-based farming

THE SALMON LOCAL MARINE ENVIRONMENT

  • Longer production time in facilities with collection of biological waste (faeces and feed) - circular economy in practice
  • Longer production time in facilities with no escape risk
  • Possibility to strengthen overall conditions for regional aquaculture clusters

SUPPLEMENTARY POST-SMOLT STRATEGY INCREASES PRODUCTION VOLUME, EBIT AND SUSTAINABILITY

ADDITIONAL REVENUE STREAM

Significant surplus pool capacity at the start of each production cycle enables post-smolt production

10% increase in biomass turnover

Shorter runway to revenue, positive cash flow effects

APPROVED BY AUTHORITIES

Initial production plan approved by the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries

PARTNERSHIP IN PLACE

Agreement in place with Eidsfjord Sjøfarm/Holmøy Havbruk to farm post-smolt for locations near Kvalnes for upcoming production cycles

INCREASES EBIT

Strong fundamentals for post-smolts drives an estimated 15-25% increase in EBIT by utilising this combined production strategy

STRENGHTENS SUSTAINABILITY

More robust fish released in combination with shortened production time in sea bring multiple biological and environmental benefits

Appendix

Q4 2023

DEFINITION: WHAT IS POST-SMOLT?

POST-SMOLT: 400 GRAMS – 1,000 GRAMS

Post-smolt is salmon that has become accustomed to seawater for a long period and weighs up to approx. 1 kg.

SMOLT: 100 – 150 GRAMS

Smolt is salmon that weighs approx. 100 grams and has recently been introduced to seawater.

Post-smolt is a more robust fish, considered to be a key to further growth in the Norwegian salmon farming industry, since it provides improved sustainability and fish health.

A SUPPLEMENT TO PRODUCTION OF HUMAN GRADE SALMON

POOL DENSITY PROFILE (KG/M3) – ILLUSTRATIVE

  • Estimated 15-25% increase in EBIT through combined production strategy, strategic collaboration agreed with Eidsfjord Sjøfarm/Holmøy Havbruk to realise plans
  • Andfjord Salmon will release smolt of approximately 100-150 grams at the start of each production cycle, which is planned to grow to harvest weights of 4 – 6 kg
  • Towards the end of each production cycle and with increased salmon weights, pools will have maximum density level targets of ~35-40 kg/m3 after splitting
  • This implies significant unused pool capacity at the start of each production cycle, allowing for an increased number of smolt to be released in order to grow to weights of approx. ~1,000 grams
  • The plan: Utilise surplus pool capacity for post-smolt production for ocean-based fish farmers

POOL DENSITY PROFILE (KG/M3) – ILLUSTRATIVE PRODUCTION CYCLE

ADDITIONAL "POST-SMOLT" PRODUCTION

ADDITIONAL POST-SMOLT PRODUCTION HUMAN GRADE SALMON PRODUCTION

Harwest weight: 4-6 kg

Enhanced cooperation between ocean-based and land-based farmers = positive for regional economic development

Salmon farming licenses surrounding Andfjord Salmon

  • Andfjord Salmon benefits from the extensive expertise of fish farming and aquaculture supply companies in the Vesterålen region
  • Our location at Andøya is optimally situated to supply nearby conventional salmon farmers with post-smolt

STRATEGIC POST-SMOLT PARTNERSHIP AGREED

BENEFICIAL FOR LOCAL AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY Q4 2023 Q1 2024

  • Agreement reached with Eidsfjord Sjøfarm/Holmøy Havbruk (part of Holmøy Group) whereby Andfjord Salmon will farm post-smolt for a select number of nearby ocean-based farming locations as part of upcoming production cycles
  • Initial production plan approved by relevant authorities
  • Ongoing discussions with additional local conventional farmers regarding partnering with Andfjord Salmon as off-take partners for post-smolt

BENEFITS FOR ANDFJORD SALMON

FINANCIAL BENEFITS

  • Strong fundamentals for post-smolt drives an estimated 15-25% increase in EBIT by utilizing this combined production strategy
  • Shorter runway to revenue, with positive cash flow effects
  • Further de-risking of the revenue stream

-

INDUSTRIAL BENEFITS

• Enables a closer working relationship with conventional farming partners in the region, and enhances smolt supply access

• Andfjord Salmon becomes a strategic partner to conventional farmers with added competence and infrastructure sharing

OPTIMISING INFRASTRUCTURE AND REVENUE POTENTIAL

  • Inclusion of post-smolt production in pools
  • No additional infrastructure capex required
  • Enabling 10% higher biomass turnover

Q3 Q1 20234

KEY DRIVERS: THE POST-SMOLT* OPPORTUNITY

STRONG DEMAND

Substantial demand for post-smolt due to the major benefits of shortening the ocean-based grow-out phase

BIOLOGICAL BENEFITS

Ocean-based fish farmers keen on releasing larger, more robust fish into net pens as this offers multiple biological and environmental benefits

AVAILABLE POOL SPACE

Surplus space in land-based pools following release of smolt can be used for further growth

SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION

Norwegian aquaculture industry is dedicated to achieving even more sustainable salmon production

The combination of land and ocean-based farming is a unique opportunity for Norway and the Norwegian salmon farming industry

*Post-smolt are salmon that have grown accustomed to seawater over a long time and are approximately 1 kg in size.
