Operational EBIT/kg for H1 2021 was DKK 7.84 (DKK 3.27), which corresponds to NOK 10.72 (NOK 4.69) for H1 2020.
The FOF (fishmeal, oil and feed) segment produces fishmeal, fish oil and fish feed. Most of the production is used for fish feed, used internally. The quality of the fish feed is important to the quality of the salmon from Bakkafrost. Fishmeal, fish oil and fish feed are also sold externally.
'
Havsbrún received 59,290 tonnes (122,512 tonnes) of raw material to produce fishmeal and fish oil in Q2 2021. The raw material intake depends on the fishery in the North Atlantic and available species of fish. In H1 2021, Havsbrún received 107,837 tonnes (187,319 tonnes) of raw material.
The production of fishmeal in Q2 2021 was 12,780 tonnes (24,939 tonnes). For H1 2021, Havsbrún produced 23,278 tonnes (39,074 tonnes) of fishmeal.
The production of fish oil in Q2 2021 was 562 tonnes (946 tonnes). The production of fish oil varies, depending on the species of fish sourced for production and the timing of catch. For H1 2021, Havsbrún produced 2,203 tonnes (2,479 tonnes) of fish oil.
Sales of fish feed amounted to 27,272 tonnes (22,121 tonnes) in Q2 2021. The FO farming segment internally used 18,658 tonnes (15,709 tonnes) or 68.4% (71.0%).

Total revenue for the FOF segment in Q2 2021 was higher, compared to the same quarter last year. The internal revenue is higher in Q2 2021, compared to Q2 2020. The decrease in external revenue is due to higher share of feed sales are used internally in Q2 2021, compared to Q2 2020.
EBITDA was DKK 57.4 million (DKK 49.9 million) in Q2 2021, and the EBITDA margin was 16.5% (18.6%). Havsbrún sources raw pelagic fish for the fishmeal and fish oil production, which are part of the recipe to produce salmon feed. For H1 2021, the EBITDA was DKK 105.7 million (DKK 90.1 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 15.8% (15.6%).
The global harvest of Atlantic salmon was 1.0% higher in Q2 2021, compared to Q2 2020, according to the latest estimate from Kontali Analyse. Combined with released inventories of salmon, that have been built up during the Covid-19 pandemic, the supply to the market increased 8.9% in Q2 2021, compared to Q2 2020. Despite increased supply, there was a strong development in salmon prices during the quarter, in part driven by reopening of the food service industry in main salmon markets. Hence, the overall market conditions have continued to improve during this quarter, and further improvement is expected as Covid-19 mass-vaccination progresses in key markets.
Supply is shrinking short term. In Q3 2021, the global harvest growth of Atlantic salmon is expected to be negative with around 4%, compared to Q3 2020. Overall, the market supply of salmon in 2021 is expected to increase around 5-6%, compared to 2020, when including expected inventory movements.
Bakkafrost operates in the main salmon markets, Europe, USA, the Far East and Russia. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused global market disruptions and a shift from foodservice to retail. The market is still affected by these changes but is gradually normalising. Due to our highly flexible value chain, Bakkafrost is well positioned to adapt to these changes and maintains a strong focus on ensuring a well-balanced flow to the different markets to increase diversification and mitigate the market risk.
Overall, the biological performance of the harvested fish in the Faroe Islands has been strong during Q2 2021. The growth has been strong with very low feed conversion ratio and the quality of the harvested fish has been good. Our mechanical delousing capacity has been strengthened even more with the introduction of new mechanical delousing technology. This will improve fish welfare even more and reduce mortality.
The average size of transferred smolt continues to increase in the Faroe Islands, and Bakkafrost is well on track in pursuing the large-smolt strategy. In Q2 2021, the average weight of the transferred smolt was 422g (286g in Q2 2020). In 2022 the average smolt size is expected to be 500g. To enable this and add further capacity, the existing hatcheries at Norðtoftir and Glyvradalur are being expanded. This work is well under way and the increased production output will be available already in 2022, enabling Bakkafrost to produce 20 million smolts of 500g in the Faroe Islands.
The gradual improvement of the farming operation in Scotland is continuing. Many investments are made in the marine farming operation, however the main priority is on the planned expansion of freshwater capacity. This will be achieved with the construction of 3 large hatcheries, based on the same template used in the Faroe Islands. This will enable implementation of the same large-smolt strategy as pursued in the Faroe Islands. The effect on the farming operation in Scotland will be gradual over the next years. Once fully implemented, the large-smolt strategy will be a game changer for the farming operation. The Applecross hatchery is the first of the 3 future hatcheries and is currently being expanded. So far, additional capacity and improved RAS capability has been secured with the expansion and we expect to see some improvements from this later this year. The Applecross hatchery expansion is expected to be finalised by the end of 2022.
Bakkafrost focuses on reducing biological risk continuously and has over the past years made significant investments to diminish this risk, but also to improve efficiency and ensures sustainable growth. The largesmolt strategy occupies a central role in this in the Faroe Islands as well as in Scotland.
Bakkafrost expects to release around 14.5 million smolts in 2021 in the Faroe Islands, compared to 14.3 million smolts in 2020, 12.7 million smolts in 2019 and 12.6 million smolts in 2018. The smolt release in Scotland is expected to be 11.0 million smolts in 2021, compared to 10.4 million smolts in 2020, 12.4 million smolts in 2019 and 8.6 million smolts in 2018. The number and average weight of smolts released are key elements of predicting Bakkafrost's future production.
Bakkafrost's harvest volumes for 2021 in the Faroe Islands are expected to be 66,000 tonnes gutted weight and 40,000 tonnes gutted weight in Scotland. Hence the total harvest volume is expected to be 106,000 tonnes gutted weight, compared with 85,686 tonnes harvested in 2020.
The estimates for harvest volumes and smolt releases in both geographies are dependent on the biological development.
Bakkafrost has made large investments in building a highly flexible value chain which includes a state-ofthe-art VAP factory with high capacity. This enables Bakkafrost to adapt well to the rapidly changing market situations, which is a great advantage during market disruptions as the one seen during the Covid-19 pandemic. Due to the flexibility and large capacity of the VAP factory, Bakkafrost has been able to meet the significantly increased demand from the retail segment by redirecting volumes into the VAP segment.
For 2021 Bakkafrost has signed contracts covering around 31% of the expected harvest volumes in the Faroe Islands and Scotland combined. Bakkafrost's long-term strategy is to sell around 40% of the harvested volumes of salmon as VAP products at contracts.
The contracts are at fixed prices, based on the salmon forward prices at the time they are agreed and the expectations for the salmon spot price for the contract period. The contracts last for 6 to 12 months.
The outlook for production of fishmeal and fish oil is dependent on the availability of raw material.
The ICES 2021 recommendation for blue whiting is 929 thousand tonnes, which is a 20% reduction from the recommendation for 2020.
Bakkafrost expects a decrease in production volumes of fishmeal and fish oil in 2021, compared to 2020.
Havsbrún's sales of fish feed for 2021 is expected to be 120,000 tonnes, depending on external sales.
The major market for Havsbrún´s fish feed is the local Faroese market, including Bakkafrost FO's internal use of fish feed, and the feed used in the Scottish farming operation.
Bakkafrost's investment programme for the period from 2020 to 2022 in the Faroe Islands, will amount to around DKK 1.8 billion, including maintenance capex, and will reinforce Bakkafrost's integrated business model and ensure a capacity across the value chain to be able to produce 100,000 tonnes gutted weight of salmon in the Faroe Islands. The aim of the investment programme is to minimize the biological risk, increase efficiency and create sustainable organic growth. Bakkafrost's focus on producing larger smolts plays a key role in achieving this goal.
All in all, Bakkafrost is on track with the investment programme. The hatchery at Strond is finalized, and the expansion of the hatcheries at Norðtoftir and Glyvradalur in the Faroe Islands and the Applecross hatchery in Scotland are well underway. The increased production capacity in these hatcheries will be available in 2022.
In Q2 2020, Bakkafrost commissioned a new 7,000 m3 well boat with hybrid technology to reduce the carbon emission and ensure optimal energy consumption. The vessel will be delivered in H1 2022 and will play an important role in Bakkafrost's large-smolt strategy and plans to grow beyond 100,000 tonnes in the Faroe Islands with offshore farming, as well as adding freshwater treatment capacity.
Bakkafrost's recently finished Biogas plant is an important stepping-stone on Bakkafrost's sustainable growth path, as it delivers an efficient and sustainable solution to waste management. By converting the growing biological waste from the increasing operation into clean energy, the biogas plant alone is expected to save the environment from 11,000 tonnes of CO2 per year. The Biogas plant is now operational, supplying electricity into the Faroese electricity grid as well as providing heating for the residents in Tórshavn, the capital of the Faroe Islands.
Investment programme (FO) 2020-2022 - mDKK
In addition to the planned investments in the value chain in the Faroe Islands, Bakkafrost expects to make investments of around DKK 350-400 million per year for 2020-2024 in the Scottish operation. A significant part of this will be invested in building 3 large hatcheries to increase smolt capacity and become self-sufficient with large smolt.
Investments have also been made in expansion of the harvest capacity in Scotland to increase the flexibility of the operation and accommodate the increased harvest volumes expected in coming years.
Bakkafrost will have a Capital Market Day on 14-15 September 2021, where more details on the investment plan for the Faroe Islands and Scotland will be presented.
Despite the uncertainties imposed by the Covid -19 pandemic, long term market balances in the world market for salmon products will most likely remain favourable for Bakkafrost. Bakkafrost has a long val ue chain and a cost -efficient production of high -qual ity salmon products and will likely maintain the finan cial flexibility going forward.
During Q4 2019, Bakkafrost refinanced its bank facilities amounting to 352 million EUR with a further accordion option of 150 mEUR. In addition, bank facilities amounting to 100 million GBP were ensured to refinance The Scottish Salmon Company. In 2020 the two facilities were merged into one new EUR 463 million facility agreement (plus 150 million accordion option)
A high equity ratio together with Bakkafrost's bank financing, makes Bakkafrost's financial situation strong. This enables Bakkafrost to carry out its invest ment plans in the Faroe Islands as well as in Scotland, hereby strengthening the Group, enabling M&A's and organic growth opportunities as well as to fulfil its un changed dividend policy in the future.
Bakkafrost plays an important role in ensuring healthy food for the world's growing population , and this role is especially important in the difficult times the world is facing at present .
During the Covid -19 pandemic, Bakkafrost's ability to operat e in the Faroe Islands has not been affected by the pandemic , and the operation in Scotland has been only mildly affected.
As the market situation is still affected by the Covid - 19 pandemic, Bakkafrost continues taking all necessary steps to protect the busine s s and constantly adapts to the changing market conditions and shifting demands from customers.
Biological risk has been and will be a substantial risk for Bakkafrost. The Annual Report 2020 gives more explanation on the biological risk and Bakkafrost's risk management in this regard.
Reference is made to the Outlook section of this report for other comments on Bakkafrost's risk exposure and to Note 3. Please note the comments on Covid-19, which impose significant risks.
Bakkafrost is, as explained in the Annual Report 2020, exposed to the salmon price.

P/F Bakkafrost is a limited company incorporated and domiciled in the Faroe Islands.
The Group's Annual Report as at 31December 2020 is available upon request from the company's registered office at Bakkavegur 9, FO-625 Glyvrar, Faroe Islands, or at www.bakkafrost.com.
This Condensed Consolidated Interim Report is presented in DKK.
This Condensed Consolidated Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as adopted by the EU. It does not include all the information required for the full Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts and should be read in conjunction with the Annual and Consolidated Report and Accounts for the Group as at 31 December 2020.
This interim report has not been subject to any external audit.
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this Condensed Consolidated Interim Report are the same as those applied in the Annual Report as at and for the year ended 31 December 2020.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting principles and recognized amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The most significant estimates relate to the valuation of biological assets, which are measured at fair value. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are based on the management's best assessment at the time of reporting. All changes in estimates are reflected in the financial statements as they occur.
As a result of the outbreak of Covid-19 during the first quarter of 2020, all significant estimates are being continuously reviewed in the light of this situation, including estimates related to the expected credit loss on trade receivables, inventory valuation and impairment test on intangible assets. As at the date of these interim financial statements, no significant changes in estimates have been performed. Bakkafrost has not identified significant Covid-19 impact to the interim condensed consolidated financial statements as at 30 June 2021.
The accounting estimates are described in the notes to the financial statements in the Annual Report 2020.

Note 5.2 in Bakkafrost's Annual Report for 2020 provides detailed information on related parties' transactions.
Transactions between P/F Bakkafrost and its subsidiaries meet the definition of related party transactions. As these transactions are eliminated on consolidation, they are not disclosed as related party transactions.
All assets/liabilities, for which fair value is recognized or disclosed, are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in an active market (that are unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable).
Level 3: Valuation techniques (for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable).
For biological assets, the fair value calculation is done using a valuation model (level 3 in the valuation hierarchy) where the value is estimated based on observable market prices per period end.
For more information on these calculations, please refer to Note 4.
For assets/liabilities that are recognized at fair value on a recurring basis, the Group determines, whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by reassessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement).
There have been no transfers into or out of Level 3 fair value measurements.
As at 30 June 2021, the Group held the following classes of assets/liabilities measured at fair value:

There have been no new business combinations in 2020 or H1 2021.
Bakkafrost's financial information is prepared in accordance with international financial reporting standards (IFRS). In addition, the management's intention is to provide alternative performance measures, which are regularly reviewed by the management to enhance the understanding of the company's performance, but not replacing the financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. The alternative performance measures presented may be determined or calculated differently by other companies. Bakkafrost's experience is that these APM's are frequently used by analysts, investors, and other parties.
These APM's are adjusted IFRS measures, defined, calculated, and used in a consistent and transparent manner over the years and across the company where relevant.
Net interest-bearing debt consists of both current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities, less related current and non-current hedging instruments, lease liabilities, financial instruments, such as debt instruments and derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. The net interest-bearing debt is a measure of the Group's net indebtedness that provides an indicator of the overall balance sheet strength. It is also a single measure that can be used to assess both the Group's cash position and its indebtedness. The use of the term 'net debt' does not necessarily mean that the cash included in the net debt calculation is available to settle the liabilities included in this measure. Net debt is an alternative performance measure as it is not defined in IFRS. The most directly comparable IFRS measure is the aggregate interest-bearing liabilities (both current and non-current), derivatives and cash and cash equivalents. A reconciliation is provided below.

Earnings before interest, tax, depreciations, and amortizations (EBITDA) is a key financial parameter for Bakkafrost's FOF segment. EBITDA before other income and other expenses is defined as EBITDA less gains and losses on disposals of fixed assets and operations and is reconciled in the section Group overview. This measure is useful to users of Bakkafrost's financial information in evaluating operating profitability on a more variable cost basis as it excludes depreciations and amortization expenses related primarily to capital expenditures and acquisitions, which occurred in the past, nonrecurring items, as well as evaluating operating performance in relation to Bakkafrost's FOF segment's competitors. The EBITDA margin presented is defined as EBITDA before other income and other expenses divided by total revenues.
Adjusted EPS is based on the reversal of certain fair value adjustments shown in the table below, as it is Bakkafrost's view that this figure provides a more reliable measure of the underlying performance.
