BIOLOGICAL CONTROL – CRITERIA 1 A GOOD REGULATORY FARMING ENVIRONMENT

Biological meltdown paved way for robust regulatory regime

During the period 2001-2004 the Faroe Islands were severely struck by ISA outbreaks

New legislation and regulation was introduced in 2003 known as "The Faroese Veterinary Model":

  • One generation based farming model
  • Fallowing periods between each generation
  • Immunisation and vaccination programs
  • Restricting movement of equipment and fish
  • Density limits introduced
  • Brood stock facilities allowed on land only
  • Fish for harvest not allowed in open waiting cages at harvest station
  • Minimum distances between farms and hatcheries
  • Rules to fight and control sea-lice introduced

The Model has resulted in one of the most predictable fish production environments in the world with good KPI for salmon farming, such as FCR, Mortality and Growth rate

The mortality rate with the Faroese Veterinary Model has been between 5 and 10% compared to 20 to 25% before – despite the annual production has never been higher than now

  • A tight regulatory regime is not enough
  • A large number of decisions will always be left to the operators
  • As opposed to most other industries, operators are directly exposed to each others behaviour
  • Efficient production requires a high degree of cooperation in the waters, e.g.
  • Coordinated fallowing periods
  • Coordinated lice treatment in direction of current
  • Hard to get «all the ducks in a row» as coordination will always carry a cost to some operator, e.g.
  • Requirement to await next generation to join new fallowing regime
  • Self reporting of disease in order to protect surrounding farms

Highly fragmented industry, except Faroes

The "tragedy of the commons" is challenging to avoid in a fragmented industry

Source: Kontali

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL – CRITERIA 3 MINIMISE EXPOSURE TO OTHER COMPANIES IN EACH PRODUCTION AREA

  • Strong regulatory framework
  • Few players to agree on coordination of unregulated matters – avoids "tragedy of the commons"
  • Limited overlap of players within production zones
  • Swaps have enforced each players "independence"
  • Existing licenses are operated on a 12-year rolling lifespan system
  • Automatic renewal unless
  • Failure to fulfill the veterinary conditions
  • Conflict with governmental or municipalities' planning areas
  • Conflict with animal welfare
  • Conflict with environmental protection
  • License give right to utilise given area of fjords for farming fish
  • No MAB, but strict regulative measures on farming activity maintaining environmentally sustainability

Margin diverged since 2010

  • Compared to a large selection of production in Norway, EBIT per kg has diverged significantly since 2010
  • The absolute improvement for Bakkafrost is a function of
  • Robust farming framework with ability to maintain biological control
  • Market recognition of high end product (price achievement)
  • Efficiency in the value chain

SIZE AND SURVIVAL MATTERS

SIZE AND SURVIVAL MATTERS!

Average price diff. vs. 4/5 kg (2014-2016) Illustration of cost dynamics

Significant benefits of yield per smolt performance

  • Larger fish generally catches a price premium, early/accelerated harvest is punisher with discount
  • Healthy fish keeps costs down
  • Low mortality
  • Less treatments, better feed conversion and faster growth
  • Fixed cost dilution with larger size 1,30

THE MARKET IS WILLING TO PAY UP FOR PREMIUM PRODUCTS

  • Consistent large sized fish forms baseline for price premium
  • Bakkafrost has further tailored its product for the premium market through
  • Investing in very high inclusion rates of marine raw materials
  • Development of a demand driven value added processing franchise
    • Including capability of "upgrading" parts of ~10% of fish normally sold at discount as "downgraded" due to skin scars, deformities etc.
  • Superior market access as the Faroe Islands is rarely part of recurring trade sanctions/embargos/dumping duties etc.
