Outlook and Operational Performance
Market
Substantially increased supply in Q4 2025
The supply of salmon increased 7.5% in Q4 2025 compared to Q4 2024, incl. inventory movements. Without inventory movements, the supply increase was 9.0%, according to the latest estimate from Kontali Analyse.
Higher salmon prices in Q4 2025
Salmon reference prices (in NOK) for 4-5kg superior salmon were 29% higher this quarter compared to Q4 2024. The price increase was driven by good demand and supply easing off towards the end of the quarter.
2% growth in 2026
The global supply is expected to increase around 4% in H1 2026. In H2 2026, the global supply is expected to reduce around 1%, compared to H2 2025. For the full year 2026, the global supply is expected grow around 2%, excluding inventory movements.
Bakkafrost has a strong focus on ensuring a well-balanced flow to the different markets to increase diversification and mitigate market risk. Bakkafrost operates in the main salmon markets, Europe, the USA, and the Far East. Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, Bakkafrost has stopped all trading with Russia.
Operations
Farming Faroe Islands
The Faroese farming operations delivered continued strong growth and biological performance during the quarter. Sea lice levels remained well controlled by the very efficient dual-freshwater treatment strategy. Mortality rates were very low in the quarter, reflecting robust fish health and favourable farming conditions. As a result of increasing stocking of large high-quality smolt, strong growth and high survivability, the biomass at sea reached the highest level recorded at year-end, providing a solid foundation for future harvest volumes.
Freshwater Faroe Islands
Q4 2025 concluded a record-breaking year for the Faroese freshwater operations across all key parameters, including smolt numbers, biomass in hatcheries, average smolt size and mortality levels. Performance in the hatcheries remained strong throughout the year, with low mortality both during production but also following transfer to the marine phase, which is a strong indicator of high quality and robust smolt. The high biomass currently in the freshwater pipeline provides a strong biological foundation for 2026 and supports continued stability and growth in the marine operations.
Construction of the new hatchery in Skálavík is progressing according to plan. The facility is expected to commence operations with first egg intake in Q2 2026, followed by initial smolt output towards the end of 2027. Upon completion, total smolt production capacity in the Faroe Islands is expected to increase to approximately 24.4 million smolt at 500g, up from the current level of around 18 million. The new hatchery will strengthen long-term smolt supply, enhance biological control, and support continued operational robustness in the Faroese value chain.
Farming Scotland
The Scottish farming operations delivered generally stable biological performance during the quarter, with large fish harvested across most sites. Performance was impacted in October following the Pasteurella outbreak at the Portree farming site in September, as previously reported in the Q3 interim report. The site was subsequently harvested and emptied during October, resulting in elevated mortality and lower average harvest weights in that month.
Excluding the Portree site, biological performance across the remaining Scottish farming sites continued to improve through the quarter. Mortality rates in November and December were below the average levels observed over the past five years, while harvest weights remained strong. Overall, the quarter reflects continued progress in strengthening and stabilising the Scottish marine operations.
During 2026, the biomass at sea will gradually change character, transitioning to be based on large and highquality smolt. This strategic shift is expected to enhance overall fish health and growth rates, leading to a more robust and sustainable aquaculture environment.
Freshwater Scotland
The Scottish freshwater operation continues its ramp-up, with Applecross established as the cornerstone of Bakkafrost's strategy to produce large, high-quality smolt in Scotland, with a production capacity of approximately 3,500 tonnes. Since August, operational stability at Applecross has improved, enabling a gradual increase in the output of larger, high-quality smolt. The continued ramp-up at Applecross remains a central element in strengthening biological performance and reducing operational risk in the Scottish farming operations over time.
Applecross will produce smolt with an average weight between 200g to 400g. This allows for good flexibility in production planning, better utilisation of capacity, and improved biological outcomes.
In Q4 2025, the average weight of transferred smolt from Applecross in Scotland was 173g, which is 4% higher than in Q4 2024. The average smolt weight for all Bakkafrost's smolt release in Scotland in the quarter was 142g, which is -7% lower than in Q4 2024.
Services
The smolt transfer system supporting the Scottish operations has undergone a significant upgrade. The farming service vessel Bakkanes has been rebuilt to handle smolt transfers and now operates in line with the proven solution implemented on its sister vessel Martin in the Faroe Islands. The upgraded system represents a clear step forward in ensuring safe and efficient smolt transfers, reducing stress and mortality during transfer operations and
{5}------------------------------------------------
strengthening overall operational reliability across the Scottish farming sites. These improvements further support the development of a robust, efficient and sustainable Scottish farming platform going forward.
Smolt transfer
Bakkafrost's expected smolt transfer in 2026 in the Faroe Islands is around 20.0 million smolts with an average weight of around 440g. In Scotland, the smolt transfer in 2026 is expected to be around 10.0 million smolt with an average weight of 179g. This includes internally produced smolt as well as externally sourced. The number and average weight of smolts transferred are key elements of predicting Bakkafrost's future production.
| Million smolt transferred |
'26e | '25 | '24 | '23 | '22 | '21 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FO | 20.0 | 18.7 | 17.1 | 14.2 | 14.4 | 14.4 |
| SCT | 10.0 | 7.3 | 6.0 | 9.0 | 11.0 | 11.1 |

| SCT | 179 | 154 | 109 | 117 | 107 | 95 |
In 2026, Bakkafrost expects to harvest around 92,000 tonnes gutted weight in the Faroe Islands and around 20,000 tonnes in Scotland, giving at total of around 112,000 tonnes gutted weight. The quarterly harvest profile is outlined in in the table below. Biological, environmental and market conditions can affect the expected harvest profile.
Expected harvest profile in 2026 as a % of total harvest pr. region:
| Region | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FO | 23% | 25% | 26% | 26% |
| SCT | 30% | 14% | 18% | 38% |
The estimates for harvest volumes and smolt transfers in both geographies are dependent on biological development.
Sales & VAP (Value added products)
Bakkafrost's highly flexible value chain includes state-ofthe-art VAP processing capacity, which enables the company to adapt effectively to rapidly changing market situations.
As a result of changes in the Faroese revenue tax, Bakkafrost has adjusted the strategy for contracted VAP (Value-Added Products) to reduce contract exposure.
For 2026, Bakkafrost intends to sign contracts covering around 15-20% of the expected harvest volumes in the Faroe Islands and Scotland combined.
FOF (Fishmeal, oil and feed)
The outlook of fishmeal and fish oil production is dependent on the availability of raw materials.
The ICES 2026 recommendation for blue whiting is 851 thousand tonnes, which represents a 41.2% decrease from the recommendation for 2025.
In 2026 Bakkafrost expects lower production volumes of fishmeal and fish oil as in 2025.
Bakkafrost expects the feed production at Havsbrún to be around 165,000 tonnes in 2026. Close to all of this will be sold internally to Bakkafrost's Faroese and Scottish Farming segments.
Investments
On the Capital Markets Day on 17-18 June 2025, Bakkafrost announced a 5.0bn DKK investment plan for 2026-2030. The main purpose is to improve efficiency, reduce biological risk and enable continued sustainable growth in the Faroe Islands and Scotland.
The investments in the Faroe Islands will increase the annual smolt production capacity to 24.4 million smolt of 500g. The feed production capacity and flexibility are also increased to further improve R&D capabilities and meet the growing demand for feed as harvest volumes increase in the Faroe Islands and Scotland. Also, investments in new farming sites and new farming technology are included, as well as investments to improve harvest capacity and flexibility with Live Fish Holding Tanks.
In Scotland, planned investments include site expansions and optimisation as well as building a new harvest and processing facility to accommodate the growing harvest volume.
As a shared service to the Group, the investment plan includes building 2 new dual-freshwater treatment vessels in the FSV segment.
2026-2030 Investment programme per category (DKK 1,000)

Incorporated into the investment plan is also 245mDKK earmarked to energy transition, spread across the value chain.
{6}------------------------------------------------
With the investment plan, Bakkafrost expects to sustainably grow the total annual harvest volumes to 162,000 tonnes in 2030.

Since the announcement of the 2026-2030 investment plan on the CMD in 2025, Bakkafrost has decided to let some of the investments planned for 2025 rollover into 2026 due to the weak market outlook for 2025. Consequently, the timing of other investments in the announced 2026-2030 plan have been adjusted.

Financial
The global salmon product market's long-term balance is likely to favour Bakkafrost. Bakkafrost has a long value chain and a cost-efficient production of high-quality salmon products and will likely maintain financial flexibility going forward.
In March 2022, Bakkafrost secured a 700 mEUR sustainability-linked credit facility (expandable by 150 mEUR) with a 5-year term and 2-year extension options which have been executed. This facility, along with Bakkafrost's strong equity ratio, bolsters the Group's financial strength for organic growth and cost reduction in Scotland, while also facilitating M&A and future organic growth opportunities, and upholding an unchanged dividend policy.

Volumes
In Q4 2025, Havsbrún received 39,826 tonnes (41,919 tonnes) of raw material for fishmeal and fish oil production. The raw material intake depends on the North Atlantic fisheries and available species of fish. The ratio of fishmeal to fish-oil output therefore varies with both the mix of species landed and the timing of the fishery. In the full year 2025, Havsbrún received 349,219 tonnes (309,502 tonnes) of raw material.
The fishmeal production in Q4 2025 was 9,151 tonnes (9,160 tonnes). Fish oil production in Q4 2025 was 2,365 tonnes (3,208 tonnes). In the full year 2025, Havsbrún produced 74,770 tonnes (66,414 tonnes) of fishmeal.
Fish oil production in Q4 2025 was 2,365 tonnes (3,208 tonnes). The production of fish oil varies depending on the species of fish sourced for production and the timing of the catch. In the full year of 2025 Havsbrún produced 11,473 tonnes (10,919 tonnes) of fish oil.
Fish feed sales amounted to 47,216 tonnes (38,853 tonnes) in Q4 2025. The FO farming segment internally used 39,566 tonnes (27,118 tonnes). The SCT farming segment internally used 7,410 tonnes (11,141 tonnes). For the full year of 2025, Havsbrún sold 165,174 tonnes (140,361 tonnes) of fish feed.
Financial Performance
The operating revenue for the FOF segment amounted to DKK 694 million (DKK 565 million) in Q4 2025. Total revenue for the FOF segment in Q4 2025 was higher than the same quarter last year. For the full year 2025, the revenue amounted to DKK 2,604 million (DKK 2,731 million). The decrease in revenue YTD is due to reduced sold volumes of both fish oil and fishmeal.
Operational EBIT was DKK 73 million (DKK 66 million) in Q4 2025, and the operational EBIT margin was 10% (12%). For the full year 2025, the operational EBIT was DKK 317 million (DKK 502 million), and the operational EBIT margin was 12% (18%).
{10}------------------------------------------------
Freshwater Segments
The two Freshwater segments both include broodstock and smolt production in hatcheries on land. In the broodstock operation, eggs are produced from breeding self-owned salmon strains. Eggs are sold to the hatcheries who in turn produce from egg to smolt, which are sold to the Farming operations in the Faroe Islands and Scotland. There are two similar Freshwater segments – one in the Faroe Islands and one in Scotland. The Freshwater segments rely on certain services provided by the Services segment, such as waste handling for biogas production.

Note 1. Statement of Compliance
This Condensed Consolidated Interim Report is 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 of 31 December 2024.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting policies applied by the Group in this Condensed Consolidated Interim Report are the same as those used in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2024.
Note 3. Estimates and Risk Exposures
The preparation of financial statements is 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 the fair value of biological assets. 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.
Bakkafrost has made no significant changes in the estimates for these interim financial statements compared with the annual financial statements.
Bakkafrost has changed the internal invoicing between the Farming and Sales and other segments to better align with industry peers and comply with applicable tax regulations. The change is that freight is no longer included in the salmon price between the segments, ensuring a more transparent and comparable pricing structure. The change is made from 1 Jan 2025, and no adjustments are made for 2024 as the intercompany invoicing is unchanged for 2024. The change affects the segments revenue and costs figures with the same amount and has no impact on operational EBIT. Nor has the change any effect on consolidated revenue, operational EBIT, profit, or equity. Freight restated numbers for 2024 are found in appendix B.
Descriptions of the accounting estimates are in the notes to the financial statements in the Annual Report 2024.

Note 7. Transactions with Related Parties
Note 5.2 in Bakkafrost's Annual Report for 2024 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.
Note 8. Fair Value Measurements
As of ended 31 December 2025, the Group held the following classes of assets/liabilities measured at fair value:
DKK 1,000
| Cost | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assets and liabilities measured at fair value | Fair value | amount | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
| Biological assets (biomass) | 3,422,053 | 2,921,448 | 0 | 0 | 3,422,053 |
| Assets measured at fair value 31/12-2025 | 3,422,053 | 2,921,448 | 0 | 0 | 3,422,053 |
| Liabilities measured at fair value 31/12-2025 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Biological assets (biomass) | 3,138,657 | 2,766,132 | 0 | 0 | 3,138,657 |
| Assets measured at fair value 31/12-2024 | 3,138,657 | 2,766,132 | 0 | 0 | 3,138,657 |
| Liabilities measured at fair value 31/12-2024 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
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 uses 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 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.
Note 9. Business Combinations
There have not been any new business combinations in 2025, nor in 2024.
Note 10 Alternative Performance Measures
NIBD
Net interest-bearing debt consists of both current and non-current interest-bearing liabilities, less related current and non-current hedging instruments, 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.
| 31 Dec | 31 Dec | |
|---|---|---|
| DKK 1,000 | 2025 | 2024 |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 299,749 | 480,506 |
| Long- and short term interest bearing debt | -4,196,642 | -3,480,527 |
| Net interest-bearing debt | -3,896,893 | -3,000,021 |

Operational EBIT
Operational EBIT is EBIT aligned for fair value adjustments, onerous contracts provisions, income from associates and revenue tax.

EBITDA
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, 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 depreciation 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 is defined as EBITDA before other income and other expenses divided by total revenues.
ROCE
Return on average capital employed (ROCE) is the period's operational EBIT divided by the average capital employed, which is total assets adjusted for total current liabilities. The performance measure is expressed as a percentage and is useful for evaluating Bakkafrost's profitability.

| ROCE | 1.7% | 1.7% | 5.1% | 9.1% |
Adjusted EPS
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.
