2021 Update

US cost breakdown

  • The US Phase 1 underlying cost base highlights cost/kg potential in steady state production
  • Simplified, the feed is the main variable cost
    • Feed cost = biomass gain (t RLW) x eFCR x feed price
  • Significant economies of scale with Phase 2
    • Overhead costs (Other Operating Expenses) should only increase marginally
    • Shared services and infrastructure
    • Design of phase 2 ensures "easier to operate" farm
  • Operational cost reductions are expected under stable conditions
    • Numerous cost saving opportunities identified
  • Lower processing costs, better yields and more consistent quality grading expected with new in-house filleting line

Summary: Operational and Risk Improvements in 2021 2021 Update

Key operational focus in 2021

Risk of mortality events reduced both in size and frequency:

  • All growout systems split in two, limiting individual incidents from six to three tanks
  • Center drains modified throughout the facility, reducing the risk of initial smaller mortality disrupting the flow of new water into the tanks
  • Key water quality parameters adjusted after a thorough vetting process, significantly reducing H2S toxicity and CO2 levels in the water
  • Organizational restructuring with higher amount of staffing outside regular working hours
  • The Facilities Operation Advisory Board (the "FOAB") vetting activities outside standard operating procedures
  • Additions and fine tuning of automation systems, including operational dashboards

Significant Operational Improvements Have Dramatically Reduced Risk
