time this year

Salmon prices in the quarter impact the operational EBIT positively pr. kg, but the larger increase in production costs reduces the EBIT development compared to Q3' 21.

Farming Operational EBIT YoY (NOK pr. kg) Operational EBIT (NOK pr. kg)

Operational Farming EBIT of 9.8 NOK pr. kg has developed negatively YoY due to the following factors

Price achievement increased by 3.9 NOK pr. kg.

Production cost increased by 4.6 NOK pr. kg.

Stable and strong cost performance over time

NOK pr. kg (HOG) Arctic Fish expects to stabilize and decrease production cost through: Biological performance ▪ Increased size of smolt is expected to improve survival rate and decrease production time. ▪ Expansions and improvements in the RAS facility will lead to better license utilization and fish health. 1 Operational efficiency ▪ Constant improvements and economies of increased knowledge. ▪ Full control of harvesting capacity will optimize timing both with regards to the market and the production in sea. 2 Primary processing ▪ A new facility will decrease cost and secure sufficient capacity. ▪ Increased and stable volumes with full control on harvesting capacity. 3 Harvesting, packing & Wellboat COGS 29,9 36,1 34,5 34,6 33,7 35,2 36,4 8,9 9,0 10,0 12,0 12,7 12,5 12,7 38,8 45,1 44,5 46,5 46,5 47,7 49,1 Q1'21 Q2'21 Q3'21 Q4'21 Q1'22 Q2'22 Q3'22

5 Outlook and summary

A robust and strong sustainability profile

First of its kind hi-tech smolt facility with 100% green energy1

All Icelandic attributes preserved; low sea temperature and density

No antibiotics have ever been used on Arctic Fish sites

  • All fish sold and all sites in use have been ASC certified or accepted certified since 2016
  • The company was the first salmon farmer from Iceland to receive an ASC certification

Licenses enabling growth and production potential

Current license applications

  • Handed in an application for the expansion of the land based smolt production license from 1.000 tonnes to 2.400 tonnes.
  • Enlarged area and updated licenses in Patreksfjörður finalized. Enables 1 additional site and better licences utilization.

Markets and sales

  • The markets for salmon saw a substantial decline in strength from the previous quarter, this can be traced back to increased supply, large global harvesting quantities and general stabilization on markets.
  • Despite the solid market conditions the price achievement was not optimal as the volume harvested was at lower average weight than preferred due to limitations with harvesting capacity.
  • Price achievement was also affected due to fixed price contracts, logistics and sales commissions.
  • Despite uncertainty, the forward prices for salmon are at high levels compared to 2021 and should remain at strong levels on average throughout Q4'22.
  • Fixed price contracts will affect the price achievement in a less negative manner as their proportionate value in the sales is becoming less.
