The operating revenues amounted to DKK 677.5 million in Q3 2015 (DKK 584.1 million). The increase in revenue is mainly due to higher volumes in the Farming segment. For the first nine months of 2015, the operating revenues amounted to DKK 2,090.6 million (DKK 1,926.0 million).
Operational EBIT in Q3 2015 was DKK 205.8 million (DKK 208.7 million). Although higher volumes in the Farming segment, the operational EBIT decreased due to all segments had lower operational EBIT margin in Q3 2015, compared with Q3 2014. For the first nine months of 2015, the operational EBIT was DKK 744.1 million (DKK 606.3 million).
The fair value adjustment of the Group's biological assets amounted to DKK -17.6 million in Q3 2015 (DKK 60.4 million). The negative adjustment is due to lower salmon spot prices in DKK at the end of Q3 2015, compared with the beginning of the quarter. For the first nine months of 2015, the fair value adjustment amounted to DKK -110.6 million (DKK -63.2 million).
No changes were made to the provisions of onerous contracts in Q3 2015, similar to Q3 2014, as no contracts were onerous at the beginning and at the end of the quarter. For the first nine months of
2015, no changes were made to the provisions of onerous contracts (DKK 70.9 million).

Bakkafrost has three operating segments: Farming, VAP (value added products) and FOF (fishmeal, fish oil and fish feed). The fresh/frozen salmon is sold in the spot market, while VAP products are sold on long-term contracts.
| Distribution of harvested | Q3 | Q3 | YTD | YTD |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| volumes (tgw) | 2015 | 2014 | 2015 | 2014 |
| Harvested volume used in VAP production | 29% | 39% | 34% | 48% |
| Harvested volume sold fresh/frozen | 71% | 61% | 66% | 52% |
| Harvested and purchased volumes (tgw) | 100% | 100% | 100% | 100% |
Of the total harvested volumes in Q3 2015, 29% (39%) went for the production of VAP products, and 71% (61%) were sold as whole gutted salmon. For the first nine months of 2015, 34% (48%) went to production of VAP products, and 66% (52%) were sold as whole gutted salmon. In addition to the harvested volumes that went for the VAP production, Bakkafrost also sourced some salmon from a third party, as in previous quarters.
In Q3 2015, the operating revenue for Bakkafrost's farming segment was DKK 558.4 million (DKK 435.4 million). The operating revenue for the farming segment for the first nine months of 2015 was DKK 1,638.7 million (DKK 1,469.1 million).
Operational EBIT, which is EBIT before fair value adjustments on biological assets, provisions for onerous contracts and income from associates, amounted to DKK 182.8 million in Q3 2015 (DKK 166.9 million). For the first nine months of 2015, operational EBIT was DKK 626.2 million (DKK 512.6 million).
Operational EBIT/kg for the farming segment was DKK 14.08 (NOK 17.25) in Q3 2015, compared with DKK 15.34 (NOK 17.02) in Q3 2014. The lower margin is mainly due to higher costs of harvested fish in Q3 2015, than Q3 2014. Prices achieved by Bakkafrost, however, have been higher in Q3 2015, than in Q3 2014. Operational EBIT/kg for the first nine months of 2015 was DKK 16.98 (NOK 20.03), compared with DKK 16.34 (NOK 18.15) for the first nine months of 2014.
The operating revenue for the VAP segment amounted to DKK 166.8 million (DKK 155.2 million) in Q3 2015. The increase in revenue is because of higher volumes sold in Q3 2015, compared with Q3 2014. For the first nine months of 2015, operating revenue was DKK 546.6 million (DKK 654.4 million).
Operational EBIT amounted to DKK 9.0 million (DKK 26.5 million) in Q3 2015, corresponding to an operational EBIT of DKK 2.41 (NOK 2.95) per kg gutted weight in Q3 2015, compared with DKK 6.10 (NOK 6.77) per kg gutted weight in Q3 2014. The decrease in the operational EBIT margins is due to higher prices on raw material. The VAP segment purchases its raw material (fresh salmon) at spot prices each week. For the first nine months of 2015, operational EBIT amounted to DKK 62.4 million (DKK 37.5 million), corresponding to an operational EBIT of DKK 4.68 (NOK 5.52) per kg gutted weight for the first nine months of 2015, compared with an operational EBIT of DKK 2.33 (NOK 2.58) per kg gutted weight for the first nine months of 2014.
The operating revenue for the FOF segment amounted to DKK 320.3 million (DKK 287.4 million) in Q3 2015, of which DKK 241.7 million (DKK 200.6 million) represents sales to Bakkafrost's farming segment, corresponding to 75.5% (69.8%). For the first nine months of 2015, the revenue amounted to DKK 808.7 million (DKK 745.5), of which DKK 522.4 million (DKK 440.3 million) represents sales to Bakkafrost's farming segment and corresponds to 64.6% (59.1%).
Operational EBITDA was DKK 41.7 million (DKK 61.7 million) in Q3 2015, and the operational EBITDA margin was 13.0% (21.5%). Havsbrún sources raw pelagic fish for the fishmeal and fish oil production, which are part of the recipe for the
production of salmon feed. The prices on fishmeal and fish oil increased rapidly at the end of 2014, peaked in Q1 2015, and have decreased afterwards in 2015. The high margins in the FOF segment during the first half of 2015 were mainly related to favourable prices on raw material purchased in 2014. This diminishing effect on margins seen in Q2 2015, continued in Q3 2015. For the first nine months of 2015, the operational EBITDA was DKK 157.3 million (DKK 140.8 million), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 19.5% (18.9%).
Sales of feed amounted to 27,011 tonnes (29,808 tonnes) in Q3 2015, of which the farming segment internally used 24,071 tonnes (23,587 tonnes) or 89.1% (79.1%). For the first nine months of 2015, the feed sale was 59,068 tonnes (62,591 tonnes). The internal sale to the farming segment was 52,032 tonnes (48,969 tonnes) the first nine months of 2015, corresponding to 88.1% (78.2%).

The production of fish oil in Q3 2015 was 1,045 tonnes (3,011 tonnes). For the first nine months of 2015, Havsbrún produced 3,682 tonnes (4,671 tonnes) of fish oil. The production of fish oil varies, depending on the species of fish sourced for production and timing of catch. The species of fish sourced and the timing of catch in 2015 is similar to 2014.
justment amounting to DKK 174.2 million, compared with DKK 284.9 million at the end of 2014. The decrease is due to lower salmon prices at the end of Q3 2015, compared to end 2014, but also due to seasonal lower biomass at sea.
The Group's total inventories amounted to DKK 297.1 million as at end Q3 2015, compared with DKK 267.0 million at year-end 2014. The inventory primarily represents Havsbrún's inventory of fishmeal, fish oil and fish feed in addition to feed at the feed stations, finished products, packing materials and other raw materials.
The Group's total receivables amounted to DKK 128.1 million as at end Q3 2015, compared with DKK 172.4 million at the end of 2014.
The Group's equity at the end of Q3 2015 amounted to DKK 2,260.3 million, compared with DKK 2,063.7 million at the end of 2014. The change in equity consists primarily of the positive result for the nine months of 2015 and the dividend paid out in April 2015.
The Group's total non-current liabilities amounted to DKK 1,046.5 million at the end of Q3 2015, compared with DKK 1,036.3 million at the end of 2014.

Condensed Consolidated Interim Report for Q3 2015 and First Nine Months 2015 Issued November 3rd 2015
Long-term debt was DKK 389.4 million at the end of Q3 2015, compared with DKK 505.4 million at the end of 2014. Derivatives amounted to DKK 127.3 million at the end of Q3 2015, compared with DKK 116.9 million at the end of 2014.
Bakkafrost's interests bearing debt consists of a bank loan and a bond loan. Bakkafrost's bank loan is an overdraft facility, payable in 2016 with the full amount of DKK 553 million. The overdraft facility is nearly undrawn at 30 September 2015. The bond loan of NOK 500 million has a five-year maturity and is payable 14 February 2018. The interest rate of the bonds is NIBOR 3m + 4.15%. Following the issuance of the bonds, Bakkafrost has entered into a currency/-interest rate swap, hedging the exchange rate, and has switched the interest rate from NIBOR 3m to CIBOR 3m. Bakkafrost has entered the swap due to its exposure to DKK, as a large part of the income and costs are in DKK and EUR.
At the end of Q3 2015, the Group's total current liabilities are DKK 263.1 million, compared with DKK 362.9 million at the end of 2014. Accounts payable amount to DKK 263.1 million, compared with DKK 262.9 million at the end of 2014.
Bakkafrost's equity ratio is 63% at the end of Q3 2015, compared with 60% at the end of 2014.
(Figures in parenthesis refer to the same period last year)
The cash flow from operations in Q3 2015 was DKK 366.8 million (DKK 280.4 million). The changes in the working capital had a positive effect on the cash flow from operations in Q3 2015. For the first nine months of 2015, the cash flow from operations was DKK 773.4 million (DKK 696.5 million).
The cash flow from investment activities in Q3 2015 amounted to DKK -204.0 million (DKK -47.4 million). The amount relates mainly to investments in property, plant and equipment, among them the live fish carrier "Hans á Bakka", which was delivered in Q3 2015. For the first nine months of 2015, the cash flow from investments amounted to DKK - 382.3 million (DKK -153.1 million).
Cash flow from financing activities totalled DKK -208.4 million in Q3 2015 (DKK -127.4 million). The interest bearing debt decreased by DKK 153.1 million and had a negative effect on cash flow from financing. Likewise, financing of an associated company contributed negatively with DKK 50.0 million. For the first nine months of 2015, cash flow from financing amounted to DKK -546.0 million (DKK -357.1 million).
Net change in cash flow in Q3 2015 amounted to DKK -45.6 million (DKK 105.6 million) and for the first nine months of 2015, DKK -154.9 million (DKK 186.3 million).
At the end of Q3 2015, Bakkafrost had unused credit facilities of approximately DKK 802.3 million of which DKK 18.1 million are restricted.
The global demand in the salmon market continues with strong growth rates. The markets are affected differently by the currency development during the year. Expected global supply growth in 2015 is around 4% and 0% in 2016. Production capacity is close to full utilization and further expansion relates to high investments.
The Russian ban on EU- and Norwegian salmon implemented in August 2014 gave temporary challenges to move volumes between markets. The markets have adapted to the new market balance.
The market place is one of Bakkafrost's most significant risk areas. Bakkafrost has a geographical and a market price approach. These approaches reduce the exposure to the market risk. To diversify the geographical market risk, Bakkafrost sells its products to some of the largest salmon markets in the world, the US, the Far East, Europe and Russia.
The outlook for the farming segment is good. Biology and veterinary situation is the most important risk area for Bakkafrost. The company is focusing on this risk with new investments and procedures to minimise the risk. The biological situation is good, and the price outlook in the spot market continues to be positive.
Bakkafrost's expected harvest is 50,000 tonnes gutted weight in 2015. Bakkafrost expects to harvest 48,000 tonnes gutted weight in 2016.
The number of smolts released is one key element of predicting the future production for the Group. Bakkafrost forecasts a release of 10.4 million smolts in 2015, compared with the 9.5 million smolts released in 2013, as the same sites are available for smolt release. The forecast for smolt release for 2016 is 10.5 million.
The estimates for harvesting volumes and smolt releases are as always dependent on the biological situation.
The currency development during 2015 has had a negative effect on the competitive position in some markets. Bakkafrost has signed contracts covering around 78% of the VAP capacity for the rest of 2015. This corresponds to around 30% of the ex
pected harvested volumes for the rest of 2015. The remaining 22% of the VAP capacity is expected to be committed during the period. The VAP 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 longterm strategy is to sell around 40-50% of the harvested volumes of salmon as VAP products on fixed price contracts. Selling the products at fixed prices reduces the financial risk with fluctuating salmon prices. The market price for contracted VAP products follows a more stable pattern with trends instead of short-term fluctuations as in the spot market.
The outlook for the production of fishmeal and fish oil is dependent on the availability of raw material. The quotas for catching blue whiting in the North Atlantic are expected to be reduced and therefore, the production of fishmeal and fish oil are most likely to reduce in volume in 2016 from relatively high volumes in 2015.
The major market for Havsbrún´s fish feed is the local Faroese market, including Bakkafrost's internal use of fish feed.
Havsbrún's sales of fish feed in 2015 is expected to be at 79,000 tonnes. Depending on the purchase from external customers, the sales of fish feed in 2016 is expected to be 80,000 tonnes.
Bakkafrost has announced an investment plan for the period until 2017, latest updated in August 2014. The purpose of the investment plan is to continue to have one of the most cost efficient value chains in the farming industry, carry out organic growth, increase flexibility and reduce the biological risk to meet the future consumers' trends and to be more end-customer orientated.
The total investments for the period 2014-2017 were announced to be DKK 1,370 million including maintenance CAPEX. The future investments over the next three years will be DKK 1,120 million. Included in the investment plan is a new harvest/- VAP factory estimated to DKK 450 million, resulting in operational savings of DKK 70-90 million per
year from 2017. The plant will be up running in 2016.
Bakkafrost plans to increase the smolt capacity, making Bakkafrost self-supplied with smolts at a size of 200-300g each before end 2017. The benefits are shorter production time at sea as well as reduced biological risk. As part of this plan, the expansion of one existing hatchery started early 2015. The expansion will fourfold the capacity of this hatchery, which will be finished within one year.
Free cash flow from operations, existing financing facilities and partly new financing if advantageous will finance the investments. In addition, Bakkafrost has the possibility to postpone investments in case
Risks
Bakkafrost has not identified any additional risk exposure beyond the risks described in the 2014 Annual Report.
The 2014 Annual Report is available on request from Bakkafrost and on Bakkafrost's website, www.bakkafrost.com.
of adverse events. The dividend policy will be unchanged.
Improved market balances in the world market for salmon products and costs effective production will likely improve the financial flexibility going forward. A high equity ratio together with the Group's bank financing and the issuance of bonds makes Bakkafrost's financial situation strong. This enables Bakkafrost to carry out its investment plans to further focus on strengthening the Group, M&A's, organic growth opportunities and fulfil its dividend policy in the future.
Bakkafrost is, as explained in the 2014 Annual Report, exposed to the salmon price. A limited increase in supply is expected in 2015 and therefore a balanced salmon market.
References are made to the Outlook section of this report for other comments to Bakkafrost's risk exposure and to Note 3.
From the date of the statement of financial position until today, no events have occurred which materially influence the information provided by this report.

Intangible assets, that are purchased individually, are capitalised at acquisition cost. Intangible assets acquired in connection with the purchase of a business entity are capitalised at acquisition cost when the criteria for separate recognition are met.
Intangible assets with a limited economic lifespan are depreciated systematically. Intangible assets are written down to the recoverable amount if the expected financial benefits do not cover their carrying amount.
Costs relating to research and development are charged as expenses as they accrue. R&D costs are capitalised in the statement of financial position, when it can be demonstrated that the relevant R&D projects carry economic benefits, that they can be technically finalised, and that the company intends to and is financially able to reap the economic benefits.
Capitalised R&D costs are recognised at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and writedowns. Capitalised R&D costs are depreciated in a straight line over the asset's estimated period of use.
Sea farming licences, which are purchased either as part of an acquisition or business combination according to IFRS 3, are capitalised at cost less accumulated write-downs. Sea farming licences in the Faroe Islands are considered perpetual, given that certain preconditions regarding environmental protection and animal welfare are met. Consequently, sea farming licences are not depreciated systematically, but are subject to an annual impairment test. If the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount, licences are considered impaired, and write-downs are entered and charged to the Income Statement.
The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be appropriate. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.
Bakkafrost operates its sea farming activity in 13 identifiable CGUs based on single or groups of sea farming licenses.
Seven out of these licenses are issued by the government without consideration, and hence are not capitalised. These belong to the North region.
The other six CGUs are acquired as part of business combinations. Respectively, when acquiring the Vestlax Group and the Havsbrún Group, hence two groups of CGUs. These are belonging to the West region. Bakkafrost considers these as significant in comparison to Bakkafrost's total carrying amount of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives. Bakkafrost has decided to disclose specific information concerning these two groups of CGUs.
The sea farming licenses in the Faroe Islands are defined as the right to utilise a given area of fjords for farming fish. There are no provisions as to the maximum allowed biomass at the given site, but the legislation has imposed strict measures to regulate the farming activity in order to be environmentally sustainable.
The sea farming licenses are issued with a nominal lifespan of 12 years. Licenses are renewed, unless there is a specific reason against renewal, based on failure to fulfil the veterinary conditions set by the authorities. In connection with renewal of licenses, authorities may only decline renewal if specific legislation on area planning, animal welfare or environmental protection is in conflict with renewal of the licenses. Special emphasis is to be placed on the fact, that it is renewals of existing licenses.
This actually means that sea farming licenses are operated in a 12-year rolling lifespan system, where the licenses are renewed every 12th year. In the very rare cases, where the authorities have declined to renew licenses in order the use locations for other purposes, the farmers have obtained licenses from the authorities at other locations.
Bakkafrost has therefore decided to account for sea farming licenses, which are capitalised, following the provisions for intangible rights with indefinite useful lives.
When the company assumes control over a separate business entity for a consideration that exceeds the fair value of the individual assets, the difference is entered as goodwill in the statement of financial position.
Condensed Consolidated Interim Report for Q3 2015 and First Nine Months 2015 Issued November 3rd 2015
Goodwill deriving from purchases of subsidiaries and associates is presented under intangible assets.
Goodwill is not depreciated, but is tested for impairment annually or more often if there are indications that its value is lower than the carrying amount. When assessing the need to write-down goodwill, this is assigned to relevant cash flow generating units or groups, which are expected to benefit from the acquisition.
Write-downs are performed in accordance with an assessment of the recoverable value of each of the cash-flow generating units to which the goodwill is assigned. To identify the Group's cash-flow generating units, the assets are grouped according to the lowest level to which separate and independent cash flows may be ascribed. Recoverable value is calculated on the basis of value in use. This is arrived at by estimating future cash flows. Please refer to Note 9 for further description.
If the calculated value in use is less than the carrying amount of the cash-flow generating unit, goodwill is written down first, and then other assets as required.

The Group tests intangible assets annually for impairment or more frequently if there are indications that the assets are impaired. The annual impairment test is performed at year-end. Bakkafrost has substantial assets with indefinite lives in the form of licenses. The licenses are subject to impairment testing in combination with goodwill in the annual test. Bakkafrost identifies each farming zone, which may contain one or a number of licences or farming sites as one cash-generating unit.
Impairment testing is carried out by calculating the net present value of estimated future cash flows (value in use) for the cash-generating unit, in line with IAS 36, and comparing the net present value of the cash flow towards the carrying amount of net assets held by the cash-generating unit (CGU). The cash flow used in the calculations represents the management's best estimate at the time of reporting. If the carrying amount is higher than the calculated value in use, the assets are considered impaired. The estimated cash flow is based on the assumption of continued operation. The basis for the estimated cash flow is the strategic plan for the following years. The strategic plans have been reviewed and the targets approved by the Group management.
All CGUs have the same operating assumptions since the operating conditions are predominantly the same all over the Faroe Islands. The considered operating conditions are costs of feed, smolt, harvest, packaging, transport and other costs. Other operating conditions considered the same are mortality, production time, fallowing and harvest weight. CAPEX is also assumed to be the same for all
CGUs over the calculated period. All CGUs are calculated with the same WACC. If there will be variances between the assumptions for the different CGUs in the future, this will be incorporated into the impairment test.
The impairment testing at year-end did not result in identification of impairment losses. Intangible assets were tested for impairment to evaluate if the cash flow from a conservative estimate was sufficient to support the carrying amount of net assets. The test confirmed the asset values.
The key assumptions in the calculations of value in use are harvest volume, prices and costs, hence EBIDTA and WACC. Amongst other assumptions are inflation, CAPEX and terminal growth.
In general, the value in use has been determined based on future strategic plans considering the expected development in both macroeconomic and company-related conditions.
The assumptions used rest on uncertainty with regard to product prices, input prices, biological performance and future regulatory frameworks. Costs can normally be estimated with a higher degree of accuracy than income. As profitability in the salmon farming industry historically has been very volatile, depending on developments in the prices of salmon. Bakkafrost uses budgets and long-term plans for the first five years of the analysis, but returns to longterm historic averages for profitability in the sixth year and terminal period.
The key assumptions used in determining the value in use are:
data for the model is updated every year for the annual impairment test. The choice of input data for the model significantly influences the outcome of the model, and to ensure that there is as little uncertainty as possible with regards to the calculation of the WACC, third-party sources are used where available (interest, inflation, beta). The discount rate is based on a five-year average for ten-year bonds issued by the Danish government, with an adjustment margin for the food industry in the EU.
In connection with the impairment testing of intangible assets, a sensitivity analysis has been carried out. Sensitivity analysis has been performed for each of the defined cash generating units. With the assumptions used, the headroom is DKK 511 million.
