Revenues amounted to 22.8 MNOK in the second quarter of 2023, a decrease of 74% from the corresponding prior-year period which can be traced to substantially lower volumes.

The positive fair value adjustment in the quarter can largely be attributed to higher forward price indications and more fish in the sea.

Net interest-bearing debt has increased as a result
of increased Capital Expenditures.

Very low harvest volumes affect the cash flow from operations in the quarter.

Continued weakening of the NOK against the EUR in the quarter resulted in currency losses.

Capital Expenditures

• We are committing to our growth plan and have been focusing on the harvesting capacity and increased smolt production.
• Both investments are aimed at securing larger parts of our value chain, improving operational scale, less biological risk and ultimately decreasing our production cost.
• The fire at our smolt production facility earlier in the year has slowed down the investment profile and now there is ongoing planning on the rebuilding of the facility, that is in the planned CAPEX.
• The harvesting facility design has been upgraded with investment additions in water treatment, water intake and waste handling. Combined with inflation the cost of the facility will end around 400 MNOK.

Financing Overview

Refinancing

• A Term Sheet has been signed to refinance its existing bank facilities and support planned growth with a EUR 170 million three-year senior secured term loan and revolving credit facility with Danske Bank, DNB, Nordea and Rabobank.
• The committed facility comprises a term loan of EUR 120 million and a revolving credit of EUR 50 million, and two one-year extension options will provide flexibility for the parties to agree to extend the maturity of the facility.

Volume Guidance

• In Q2 2023, the Company harvested 100 tonnes (HOG) and YTD 5.0 thousand tonnes compared to 5.3 thousand tonnes the year before.
• All processing of the Group's salmon from Q3 2023 and onwards will take place in its brand-new state of the art harvesting facility in Bolungarvík. The facility has been designed to fulfil the short and long term needs of Arctic Fish
