Looking back on 2021, it was a year of great changes to our organization and to our fleet. The integration of Frøy and the former NTS wellboat and sea transport companies brought together two of the global leading competence hubs within aqua services. It also gave Frøy a broad footprint all along the Norwegian coastline. With the capital raised in the IPO we have a sound financial platform that gives us flexibility to continue building towards our mission – to be the leading and preferred provider of sustainable aqua services.
Going into 2022 we will continue to grow our fleet based on long term contracts with fish farmers. 10 newbuilds are scheduled to be delivered in the next two years, substantially increasing our earnings capacity, strengthening our efficiency and competitiveness.
A critical pillar for maintaining a sustained position as a leading and preferred provider to fish farmers is to continuously reduce our carbon footprint. All Frøy wellboat newbuilds ordered after 2019 have been equipped with either diesel electric, hybrid electric propulsion systems and/or battery packages. Frøy will continue working on reducing our carbon footprint in the years to come.
Frøy will also accelerate its use and focus on digital solutions and data to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Leveraging digital solutions to efficiently share best practice across vessels, teams and segments is a significant opportunity. Frøy has a unique competence platform with 733 dedicated aqua service professionals that specialize in fish welfare and efficient operations. Collecting and making use of data to support our teams on site may further enhance our service offering. Our people are our greatest strength, our systems shall support and strengthen our solutions to clients and our collective know-how.
On a final note, I want to thank all stakeholders for the trust you have placed in Frøy.
We will continue to seek ways to cement that trust. We remain optimistic about the outlook for the industry and are confident that Frøy is well positioned to deliver value for all stakeholders in the years to come.

We are pleased to present Frøy 's first annual report as a listed company and our first report that address our material economic, environmental, and social impacts. Delivering solutions that improve fish welfare, reduce the risk of escapes and improves efficiency in operations for the aquaculture industry has been at the core for Frøy for more than 20 years. Taking good care of the fish and our people are our key priorities. Both are prerequisites to operate and key drivers for our growth. This annual report marks the first step towards a structured reporting on how we integrate sustainability into our business strategy.

Frøy shall be a leading and preferred provider of sustainable aquaculture services. Through our expertise we shall create added value for our customers.
Frøy 's vision "solutions for the ocean space" forms the basis for our business idea. Our ambition is to grow through delivering best in class solutions for fish farmers' day to day needs at sea. A key pillar to achieve this ambition is to continuously develop our service offering through efficient utilization of in house competence and innovation.
Frøy 's business and service offering has gradually developed together with the industrialization of the Norwegian fish farming industry. Today, Frøy assist fish farmers throughout the full production cycle at sea. Our service offering range from installation of new farming sites, transport of live fish from smolt facilities to fish farming sites at sea, inspection and maintenance, biological treatments, transport of live fish from the farming sites to the processing facilities and disinfection of the farming site after the production cycle is finished.

Frøy develop and deliver solutions that have significant impact on fish farmers' performance and results with operations in harsh environments and with advanced heavy machinery.

Performing competitively and sustainably in the evolving aqua service landscape requires competent and empowered people working safely together. It also requires a team with complementary strengths
ranging from fish welfare to risk management, technical and maritime competence. Our employees strive every day to make a difference to our customers. Close collaboration and specialist know-how is key to

make that difference. We call it "teamwork at sea".
Solveig Gaasø Director Fish Welfare 26 years experience
"Frøy assist fish farmers with planning and executing complex farming operations every day. I'm impressed by all the dedicated and experienced people we have on our vessels. Their hands-on experience from farming sites all along the Norwegian coastline is unique. I work to support our local expert teams with analytics and fish health competence, making sure that we learn from our experiences and that we uniformly deliver high quality fish welfare solutions across the organization."

Linn Holmen Director Quality & HSE 14 years experience
"Frøy operates under a range of regulatory frameworks, we are regulated by the Norwegian Maritime Authority, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority, the Directory of Fisheries, and we follow fish farmers internal operating requirements and certifications. We also comply with important industry standard such as Global G.A.P. and NS 9415:2021. Documentation of procedures, compliance and learning from deviations is key to ensure best practice, a safe workplace and to minimize the impact on our surroundings."

Kristin Sugustad Director Maritime Staffing 2 years experience
"Frøy shall be the leading competence hub for aqua services globally. Recruitment of young talent and internal training is the backbone of Frøy 's recruitment strategy.
Putting together teams with complementary strengths and experience is the best guarantee for efficient delivery of sustained high-quality services to our clients and to ensure continuation of a strong Frøy culture."


Ronny Helland Grønnli Captain on diving vessel MS Tamina Experience: 11 years
"When I came to Frøy, the first thing I noticed was how incredibly good working environment it was among colleagues. Everyone gets along very well. This leads to the work being carried out in a more efficient way. There is also a pride in being able to deliver at least as good work as the person next to you. Diving safety has always been of utmost importance. You feel well taken care of when working underwater with competent people around."
Reidar Antonsen
Captain on small service vessel 13 years experience
"In an industry in great development in many areas, it is important for us as a service team to find solutions to new challenges that arise. We hope that our experience in the field, and the sharing of knowhow with our customers, helps to develop new standards and contribute to sustainable operations. Even though the aquaculture industry is experiencing major changes, precise work in line with the customer's requests and needs never goes out of style. Satisfied customers are and always will be a driving force for us."

Ronny Solem Captain on MS Rubin 11 years experience
"Back in 2011, when I started on MS Safir, we transported feed in bigbags and we used pallet lifts and trucks to load and unload the feed. Today, at MS Rubin we load/unload feed with the use of cranes to silos on board the vessel, significantly increasing speed and efficiency. MS Rubin carries approx. 80.000 tons of fish feed every year. With the DP (dynamic positioning) system on the vessel we can unload directly at the salmon farms' feed station at sea increasing efficiency and reducing costs for our clients."
Tauri Tensing Captain on MS Frøygutt 13 years experience Cleaned +10.000 nets
"During the thirteen years I have been in Frøy I have witnessed many innovations in net cleaning technology. With new technology and tuning of our operational model we have reduced the cost of cleaning nets with more than 50% per m2. We are now facing a new revolution in the form of digitalization and automation. In this industry you are never fully taught, we strive to make new improvements every day."
Håvard Olsen Captain on MS Gåsø Høvding 12 years experience
"Wellboats are technologically advanced vessels where as much as 2/3 of the construction costs relates to the treatment and fish transportation systems. New technology enables us to monitor all fish coming in and out of the vessel, and to control the water quality when the fish is on board. On board Gåsø Høvding we have advanced desalination technology that allows us to produce fresh water on board the vessel. This substantially improve efficiency and reduce the costs on removal of sea lice with the use of fresh water. Handling and treatment of fish are complicated operations that requires biological, technological, and operational knowhow. The crew on board are crucial to secure good fish welfare and to reduce the risk of biological complications."

ity which facilitates efficient operations combined with gentle fish handling. In 2019 Frøy made a strategic decision to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its fleet by
investing in more climate friendly vessels. Since 2019 all wellboat new builds have been ordered with either diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery. At the end
of 2021, 21 % of our wellboats and cargo vessels have diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery installed, 80 % of our larger service vessels have diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery, and 3 % of our smaller service vessels have diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery. The goal is to increase the percentage of vessels with
technology contributing to lower carbon emissions.

During 2021 Frøy has taken its first steps towards a structured reporting on how to integrate sustainability into the overall business strategy.
treatments such as scrubbing, thermal wash and freshwater bath. The fish is pumped into the wellboat and treated in a closed and controlled environment which minimize risk of emissions to sea and cross contamination of sea lice from one pen to another. After biological treatments the sea lice is contained and disposed in accordance with regulatory requirements.
The wellboat activity has generally been good throughout 2021, and as a result of the majority of the fleet being employed on long-term contracts, a positive development is expected as new wellboats are taken into use.
The wellboat segment generated total revenues of NOK 876.0 million (2020: NOK 628.0 million) and an operating profit of NOK 244.7 million (2020: NOK 135.4 million).
Frøy has 49 service vessels of different sizes. Frøy service segment offers diving, inspection, biological risk mitigation services and infrastructure integrity services to salmon farmers. With specialized aqua service professionals and modern service vessels, Frøy assist salmon farmers with maintenance of the salmon farming site infrastructure and assistance with removal of sea lice and other biological challenges.
During 2021, the Frøy has signed several large framework agreements in the service segment that make a positive contribution in terms of visibility of operations. A large part of the fleet is working on long-term contracts.
During the year 2021, Frøy put three newbuilds into operation and sold six vessels in line with a strategy of renewal and change in fleet composition. In 2022, Frøy will include six new vessels in the service segment.
The Service segment generated total revenues of NOK 774.6 million (2020: NOK 591.1 million) and an operating profit of NOK 132.5 million (2020: NOK 143.4 million).
There are no employees in part-time positions in Frøy. About 10% of all employees per 31.12.2021 are temporary employees. These are substitutes related to sick leave, or apprentices/ cadets, who are on a time-limited training agreement.
The average number of weeks of parental leave in 2021 was 9.4 weeks for men and 28 weeks for women.
Frøy 's principles, procedures and standards for equality are rooted in Frøy 's various strategies, tools and guidelines. In 2021, Frøy has prepared a separate guide for dealing with discrimination and developed a routine for dealing with sexual harassment. There is also a routine for internal notification of matters worthy of criticism in place.
Considerations of equality and non-discrimination are also included in the personnel policy.
A separate report has been prepared, Equality Statement, which describes Frøy 's work on gender equality and diversity in more detail. The report is provided in a separate section of the Annual Report.
Frøy intends to communicate actively and openly with investors, customers, government institutions and other stakeholders regarding our sustainability focus and strategy. During 2021, Frøy has taken its first steps towards a structured reporting on how we integrate sustainability into the overall business strategy. This reporting will be further refined during 2022.
In 2019 Frøy made a strategic decision to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its fleet by investing in more climate friendly vessels. Since 2019 all wellboat newbuilds have been ordered with either diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery. At the end of 2021, 21 % of the wellboats and cargo vessels have diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery installed, 80 % of the larger service vessels have diesel electric or hybrid
Frøy 's business and service offering has gradually developed together with the industrialization of the Norwegian fish farming industry. Today, Frøy assist fish farmers throughout the full production cycle at sea. The service offering is reported through three operating segments :
At the end of 2021, Frøy owned a total of 16 wellboats, and leased one wellboat on a bareboat agreement. In addition, Frøy has two wellboats under construction, of which one will be delivered in 2022 and one in 2023.
In 2021, Frøy has received four new wellboats, Reisa (January), Kristiansund (June), Åsværfjord (November) and Gåsø Høvding (November). The wellboat Veidnes was sold in December. The new vessels have entered into long-term TC agreements. Key services offered in Frøy 's wellboat segment are transportation and biological services. The Group's wellboats are used for gentle and safe transportation of smolts (juvenile salmon) from smolt facilities on shore to farming sites in sea, and of live harvest ready salmon from production sites to harvesting facilities. Furthermore, wellboats are used as supportive infrastructure for salmon farmers under biological operations during the production phase at sea. Wellboats can perform a wide range of different sea lice
Frøy operates three vessels in the sea transport segment, one of which is on a TC agreement. MS Rubin transports fish feed mainly in the northern regions Troms and Finnmark. MS Rotsund mainly transports frozen cargo between Norway and the Baltics / Poland and fish feed on a TC agreement.
At the turn of the year 2020/2021, Frøy entered into an agreement for the purchase of the cooling and freezing vessel Silver Lake. Upon takeover in February 2021, the ship was flagged in the Norwegian Ship Register, and renamed MS Folla. The ship has mainly transported freezer loads between Norway and the Baltics. Northbound loads have been fish feed from Aberdeen to Norway.
Increasing bunker prices throughout 2021 has been a significant challenge for the vessels that operate in the spot market. MS Safir was sold in 2021.
The Sea transport segment generated total revenues of NOK 134.1 million (2020: NOK 110.4 million) and an operating profit of NOK 19.2 million (2020: NOK 6.6 million).
As of 31.12.2021, there were a total of 814 employees (including temporary employees) in Frøy. These are divided into 285 employees in the wellboat segment, 426 employees in the service segment, 58 employees in the maritime transport segment and 45 employees in Frøy ASA. The proportion of women per 31.12.2021 was 5%.
At the end of 2021, Frøy 's management group consisted of 14 % women, while the expanded management group consisted of 40 % women. The group has a continuous focus on equality and providing equal opportunities for all employees regardless of gender, pregnancy, maternity leave or adoption, care tasks, ethnicity, religion, outlook on life, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression.
propulsion machinery, and 3 % of the smaller service vessels have diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery. The goal is to increase the percentage of vessels with technology contributing to lower carbon emissions.
A separate Sustainability Report has been prepared which describes Frøy 's work and priorities on sustainability in more detail. The report has been prepared in line with the World Economic Forums reporting framework for Measuring Stakeholder Capital; WEF IBC Common Metrics.
The report is provided in a separate section of the Annual Report.
The average sickness absence for the group was 5.21% in 2021, compared to 5.39% in 2020. 4.61% of the absence is long-term absence.
Follow-up of sick leave and facilitation for people on sick leave has been a focus area in 2021. In 2021, there have been 20 minor injuries and one serious personal injury in the group that has resulted in sick leave beyond the employer period. Routines and procedures are reviewed in connection with each individual injury case. The working environment in the group is considered satisfactory.
Frøy 's business largely consists of service deliveries to the aquaculture industry. The demand for the services provided by the group will therefore to a large extent be linked to the level of activity in the aquaculture industry. Furthermore, demand may be affected by natural variations in weather, sea temperature and fish health in the aquaculture industry.
The operations in Frøy are capital-intensive, and the focus on employment of each individual vessel in the group's fleet is crucial for achieving a satisfactory return on invested capital.
Variable operating costs mainly consist of personnel costs, fuel costs and costs for repair and maintenance of the fleet.
Frøy 's credit risk represents the risk for counterparties not being able to fulfil their obligations to the group as they fall due. The credit risk is considered low and stable in the markets in which the group operates. Losses on receivables were insignificant in both 2021 and the year before.
No set-off agreements or other financial instruments have been entered into to reduce the credit risk in the group.
Frøy 's income and operating expenses are mainly denominated in Norwegian kroner and are therefore to a small extent directly exposed to currency risk. The Sea Transport segment has a significant part of its revenues in EUR and USD. This currency exposure is partially offset by bunker costs nominated in USD.
When contracting new vessels at shipyards abroad, the contract price will be denominated in a foreign currency. Frøy 's cost price for newbuilds - and subsequent depreciation costs after the vessel has been delivered will therefore be exposed to currency risk. Currency risk associated with new buildings is continuously monitored and currency derivatives can be applied to reduce the risk.
The company is exposed to changes in interest rates, as parts of the group's debt have floating interest rates. Furthermore, changes in interest rates may affect investment opportunities in future periods.
Long-term interest rate hedging agreements have been entered into for parts of the debt in order to reduce interest rate risk.
Frøy has received notification of a change in the tax assessment for 2019 and 2020 concerning the tonnage tax scheme and reim2021 of NOK 738 million (2020: NOK 149 million) and available credit facilities of NOK 39 million (2020: NOK 43 million).
The group's liquidity on the balance sheet date is considered satisfactory.
The company 's largest shareholder is NTS ASA, which as of 31.12.2021 owns 72.1% in Frøy ASA.
The 20 largest shareholders at the end of 2021 were as follows:
The number of shareholders as of 31.12.2021 was 4,398 compared to 1 shareholder as of 31.12.2020 (NTS ASA).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), which have been adopted by the EU.
In the parent company, the operating profit was NOK -21.6 million compared to NOK -13.6 in 2020. Profit before tax ended at NOK -0.3 million compared to NOK 29.2 million in 2020. Other operating expenses in 2021 are significantly affected by professional fees in connection with the IPO of the company.
The comparable financial figures for the parent company represents the company 's first year of operation. The ramp-up of the organization in the merged Frøy ASA took place during this period. For this reason, the parent company 's accounting figures for 2020 are to a limited extent relevant as comparative figures for 2021. The parent company accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Accounting Act of 1998 and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.
Investments are mainly related to the group's newbuild program. In 2021, NOK 1,705 million has been invested in the wellboat segment, NOK 230 million in the service segment, NOK 123 million in the maritime transport segment and NOK 33 million in other investments.
At the end of 2021, remaining investments under the current investment program amounts to approx. NOK 940 million. These investments are expected to accrue with NOK 770 million in 2022 and NOK 170 million in 2023. Newbuild contracts are fixed price agreements.
The annual accounts have been prepared under the going concern assumption. There are no circumstances that indicate that this assumption is not present. The board therefore confirms that the precondition for going concern is present.
bursements through the net salary scheme for one of the group's subsidiaries. Frøy disputes the tax authorities' views and the case is unresolved on the date of publication of this report. Refer to note 5.1 in the consolidated financial statement for further details.
Liquidity risk is a risk that Frøy will not be able to service its financial obligations as they fall due. In 2021, Frøy had a positive cash flow from operating activities of NOK million 499 (2020: NOK million 622). The group's investments in newbuilds are financed with equity and long-term loan facilities from credit institutions before newbuilds are committed. Furthermore, Frøy has a portfolio of cash and cash equivalents at the end of
The board consists of five board members including the chairperson – two women and three men.
Frøy complies in all material respects with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance (NUES). The only deviation is the chairperson of the board also being the chair of the general meeting.
A separate Corporate Governance Report has been prepared which describes Frøy 's priorities on corporate governance in more detail. The report is provided in a separate section of the Annual Report.
The group's operating revenues amounted to NOK 1,787 million in 2021 compared to NOK 1,332 million in 2020. In 2021, the group had an operating profit of NOK 378 million compared to NOK 290 million in 2020. Growth in both revenues and operating profit is primarily attributable to the increase in Frøy 's fleet of vessels during 2021. In addition, Frøy sold vessels in all segments with a total gain of NOK 91 million. These sales were carried out as part of the group's strategy for continuous renewal of the fleet.
Ordinary profit before tax ended at NOK 300 million compared to NOK 251 million in 2020. Annual profit for continuing operations ended at NOK 284 million compared to NOK 230 million in 2020.
Total assets increased from NOK 5,241 million at the end of 2020 to NOK 7,657 million at the end of 2021. The equity ratio of the group as of 31.12.2021 was 41.6% compared to 37.6% the previous year. The equity ratio increased despite a significant increase in total assets. This increased solvency comes as a result of capital issue and retained earnings in 2021.
Frøy is a leading integrated service provider to the Norwegian aquaculture industry. The group has adopted an investment program to build additional capacity, primarily within the wellboat and service segments.
The wellboat segment has two new vessels under construction. MS Gåsø Odin is expected to be delivered in the third quarter of 2022 and MS Veidnes is expected to be delivered during the summer of 2023.
The service segment took delivery of MS Frøy Challenger in February 2022. MS Frøy Challenger is a specialised vessel for delousing operations. During 2022, the Service segment will put another six vessels into operation. Furthermore, the segment has two large service vessels under construction with planned delivery in 2023.
The sea transport segment will carry out a rebuild of MS Folla in the second quarter of 2022. The rebuild is expected to take approx. six weeks.
The global corona virus pandemic has had an impact on the group's operations in 2021, especially related to delays in the delivery of newbuilds, and this situation has led to high workload on personnel at some shipyards. The group has also incurred additional expenses to mitigate the effect of work schedules that have been negatively affected by the pandemic.
The war in Ukraine has created considerable unrest in several commodity markets. For Frøy, it is primarily the price increase on bunkers that affects the ongoing operations. However, a significant proportion of the group's contract portfolio has provisions that to a large extent give us the right to re-invoice the fuel costs to our customers.
The price of steel has also risen significantly since the conflict broke out, and if this price picture persists, it will imply that the cost price of new buildings will increase. Existing newbuild contracts are fixed price agree-

While the SDGs remain our guiding principles, going forward we will increase our focus on the aspects we have identified as most material for our operation. We have identified important topics and paths for improvement within the areas Governance, People, Planet and Prosperity, and will build on this as these targets can be more specialized for Frøy 's needs and opportunities.
The report has been prepared in line with the World Economic Forums reporting framework for Measuring Stakeholder Capital; WEF IBC Common Metrics. The reporting period is from January 1st 2021 to December 31st 2021.
The WEF-framework includes 21 indicators divided into four sustainability aspects: governance, people, planet, and prosperity. Each aspect is covered by a separate chapter in the report. The WEF-indicators are in line with key indicators from leading reporting standards within sustainability, the GRI and SASB standards.
Frøy ' s vision is solutions for the ocean space. Our ambition is to be the leading and preferred provider of sustainable aquaculture services. Delivering solutions that improve fish welfare and reduce the risk of escapes has been at the core for Frøy for more than 20 years. Taking good care of the fish and our people are our key priorities. Both are prerequisites to operate and key drivers for our growth.
Safe – The safety of our people, and the integrity of our operations, are our top priorities
Natural forces, harsh weather conditions and operation of complex equipment are key risks to the safety of our staff. Safe and healthy working conditions that is adapted to the physical environment in which we operate are fundamental requirements in all our operations.
Flexible – We strive to be agile in everything we do for the benefit of Frøy and our stakeholders
Through our activities, we shall contribute to sustainable food production. Key focus areas for sustainable production of farmed fish are fish welfare, avoidance of fish escapes and continuous reduction of the carbon footprint. As an integrated provider of solutions to fish farmers, Frøy is in close contact with all these factors and thus has the potential to make a significant impact on the sustainability of the final product.
Committed – We are committed to provide continuous improvements.
For Frøy, sustainability means to always improve and work to become better at what we do. We seek to develop our strategies and operations to ensure that our financial success does not come at the expense of the wellbeing of people, marine life and the environment.
Responsible – We act responsibly in the environment and the communities we are a part of
Frøy acknowledges that we have a responsibility to reduce our environmental footprint and climate gas emissions, and we continually invest in new vessels and equipment that are more energy efficient.
An important aspect of our sustainability work is to improve our routines to collect and communicate our non-financial data to our stakeholders and the general public. This is why we have completed our first sustainability report for 2021. Through the reporting process, we are both challenged and stimulated for achieving a better understanding of how we want to work with social and environmental challenges going forward.
In shaping our sustainability commitment, we have selected the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we consider to be of particular relevance both to us in Frøy and to the maritime and aquaculture industry on a general level. These are the goals where we can have the most positive impact and where our operations are at risk of having negative impact on both the environment, marine life and people. In Frøy, "The Frøy Culture" is described through a number of statements, which clearly point in the

Frøy intends to communicate actively and openly with investors, customers, government bodies and other stakeholders regarding our sustainability focus and strategy. Good corporate governance is important to ensure stakeholder confidence, and it is a prerequisite for growth and longterm value creation for Frøy.
The CEO is ultimately responsible for Frøy 's work for sustainability and the environmental footprint of our operations. The responsibility for sustainability work is delegated down to the operations directors for each operational area with support from the QA-department and other necessary staff resources. We recognize that ensuring and promoting sustainability is a considerable investment where more dedicated resources will be necessary to reach our goals.

in the annual report.
In 2021 we carried out a materiality analysis with the aim of identifying material aspects within the areas of Planet, People, Governance and Prosperity. Some of the aspects are operational, while other are more strategic. Further, some of the aspects were identified as especially important and labeled "leading" to establish that these will make up Frøy 's key sustainability focus. The material aspects are listed in the table below and the color codes show within which category and chapter the individual aspects will be discussed in more detail later in the report:
GHG emission Minimize our own environmental impact Security at work Responsible value chain Strategic Gender equality and diversity Local Contributor Sustainability in management Transparency in reporting and communication Leading Fish welfare and biodiversity Technological development
Attractive employer
As an integrated service and solutions provider to the aquaculture industry, Frøy engage with both fish farmers, equipment manufacturers and government bodies
throughout the year as a part of how we conduct our business so that we understand their priorities and how our business impact them. Other important stakeholder groups include our employees, shareholders and the communities in which we operate.
Among all the material aspects, we consider fish welfare and biodiversity, technological development and being an attractive employer, to be the leading aspects for our business.
Fish welfare and biodiversity are fundamentally important aspects for all stakeholders in the aquaculture value chain. Reducing the risk of escapes and maintaining good fish welfare is vital also for all of Frøy ' s services. Frøy regard taking good care of the fish and the surrounding environment as prerequisites to operate and key growth drivers for our business.
Stringent focus on innovation, development of equipment, digitalization and making use of data is key to improve sustainability in the aqua service industry. Reducing the carbon footprint require investments in new vessels with lower carbon emissions and eventually zero carbon vessels. Delivering new solutions that reduce the risk of escapes and improve fish welfare require efficient sharing of best practice and technological development.
Frøy ' s most important stakeholders are our employees. The competence and experience of our employees are fundamental to deliver continuous improvements and to maintain the position as the leading and preferred provider of aquaculture services.
Frøy is in a process of integrating our sustainability strategy into the overall business strategy. In 2021, Frøy started the initial structuring of the Groups sustainability work. Frøy has established and are in the
process of implementing KPIs with a focus on sustainability and HSE for each operational area for 2022.
Our ESG KPIs are:
Our HSE KPIs are:
The key figures will be systematically followed up in regular operational and department meetings throughout the organization and measures will be taken when necessary to adjust the course to achieve our goals.
An important aspect of our sustainability management will also be to establish clear guidelines and policies for how to convey strategies and measures decided by the BoD and management team to all employees.
It is essential for Frøy to promote ethical business conduct across all levels of our organization. This will both ensure good working conditions and cooperation internally, as well as a good reputation amongst our stakeholders. We have established several policies and guidelines for ethical conduct and continuously adapt and take active steps to make sure our operations follow national and international regulations and standards.
For us, the Frøy culture is a guideline for quality, safety, and well-being. For our customers, the Frøy culture is the noticeable difference in a collaboration with us.


Our culture is summarized in seven statements ensuring uniform quality in everything from HSE work to the standard of vessels and equipment:
Further information on the seven statements of the Frøy Culture can be found on our website.
For Frøy to be recognized as an ethical company we depend on sound and responsible actions from all our employees. Therefore, we have established ethical guidelines that we expect everyone associated with Frøy to follow. The ethical guidelines for Frøy ASA are based on requirements set out in SA8000:2014 and describe how Frøy as an employer and how our employees should act. The guidelines cover several topics connected to work environment, health and safety, discrimination, child labor, environmental impact, use of social media, animal welfare, and confidentiality and information processing. The guidelines are available to all employees through our management systems.
In the event of breaches of our ethical principles or deviation from our security routines all our employees are encouraged to file a complaint. We have established routines for collecting and dealing with notifications of breaches, in which our
will be an integral part of this strategy work. Another important area of the strategy process is that the company will be more data driven and digitized during 2022 and a pre-project has already been initiated to map what data the company holds and how we can better utilize this data for optimization, market development, innovation or other strategic or operational measures. This is also important in the context of sustainability and implementing transparency as a key principle in our corporate governance policy, as this work is entirely dependent on a high-quality data base.
Especially important is our shareholders, to whom we seek to provide comprehensive and fully updated information. Completing this sustainability report is an important step for making non-financial disclosures more accessible and transparent. We acknowledge that there still are many challenges finding and disclosing data on all aspects of our operations concerning social and environmental impact, and we will invest in establishing new procedures for data collection for the coming years.
Frøy is part of a comprehensive value chain, and we depend on a wide set of suppliers. To ensure that our products and services are truly responsibly created, both considering social and environmental impact, we are gradually increasing our supply chain engagement focusing on transparency and more active cooperation and management. The wellboat segment have partly implemented purchase order systems that impose requirements to our subcontractors related to social responsibility.
Both nationally and internationally, new regulations and requirements for transparency of the supply chain are developed and established that will affect how we work with risk management and due diligence going forward. Most importantly we will update our procedures to comply with the Transparency Act developed by the Norwegian government, which will enter into force on July 1st 2022. The new law requires due diligence of decent work conditions in the supply chain, risk of breaches of human and labor rights, and further reporting and transparency on measures taken. We will implement new routines to ensure compliance and continue to work to further strengthen our sustainability commitment.
The preparation of an overall strategy for the Frøy Group has a high focus in 2022 and is well anchored in both the board and the company 's management. The establishment of a corporate strategy for sustainability
employees may remain anonymous, and they have, if desired, the opportunity to have the complaint handled through an independent third party. In the event of adverse events our management team take action to prevent similar events to recurring. In 2021 zero complaints were filed through our whistleblower channel.
Frøy opposes all forms of corruption, and we will work actively to ensure that corruption does not occur in our business activities. All personnel are prohibited from planning, performing, or facilitating any corrupt activity, in the public or private sector, also in cases where Frøy or its personnel do not benefit directly. In line with the listing of the company 's shares on Oslo Børs in March 2021, there were prepared guidelines for anti-corruption, "Frøy Group: Policy for anti-corruption and sanctions compliance". The Policy provides key principles and requirements to reflect and implement Frøy 's zero tolerance against corruption and breach of sanctions requirements. All permanent and temporary employees of Frøy, members of Frøy 's Board of Directors, as well as hired personnel, consultants and any other party who have authority to act on Frøy 's behalf, are responsible for complying with this policy. This applies regardless of geographical location. Frøy 's top management members are responsible for ensuring implementation of this policy in each group company. All members of the Board of Directors have been trained in these guidelines.
No incidents related to corruption were registered in Frøy in 2021.
Transparency in reporting and communication is identified as an important aspect in our sustainability work. This relates both to areas where we have room for improvements and to incidents that occur in connection with our operations. We intend to make information of interest accessible and communicate it to all stakeholders.
At the end of 2021 there were established Key Performance Indicator Areas for both Sustainability and HSE, se chapter 'Sustainability Strategy ' for details. Target values were set for some of the areas, but not all, due to the lack of experience data which is crucial to determine reasonable target values. Going forward this work will continue through 2022 and target values will be determined for all KPI's.
Going forward we will also develop mandatory training for all employees in our anti-corruption regulations.
During 2022 we are gradually increasing our supply chain engagement focusing on transparency and more active cooperation and management, and when entering new supplier agreements, we will prefer suppliers which holds ISO 9001:2015 and 14001:2015 certificates, as well as requesting a statement of their social responsibilities.
As part of the aquaculture industry, Frøy faces many of the same challenges as fish farming companies regarding the climate and environmental footprint our business leaves behind. Our operations are carried out at sea and our vessels emit greenhouse gases in connection with the movement, transport, processing, and execution of various service assignments for our customers. We perform services that ensure the production of farmed fish, and it is important to us that our contribution moves this production in a sustainable direction.
Based on the relatively low CO2 emissions, low water consumption and limited extent of land use, farmed fish is one of the most energy efficient and environmentally friendly ways to produce healthy animal protein. However, the fact still remains that food production overall is estimated to account for almost 40 % of the world's greenhouse gas emissions (i). Frøy is therefore committed to contributing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions associated with fish farming through adapting to and investing in new vessels and equipment that contribute to lower carbon footprint.
Fish welfare is on top of the agenda in all fish farming activities. Research shows that during their life cycle, farmed fish are exposed to the most stress and negative influence in connection with handling of the fish in connection with transport, delousing and other treatments, and various activities in the farming cages. As an integrated service provider in all these areas, Frøy wants to actively contribute to continuously improve the fish welfare in connection with these activities.
Frøy contributes to ensuring biodiversity in the ocean through delivering services to fish farmers that reduce the risk of escapes. Frøy deliver both inspection services and documentation that are key to maintain the integrity of the farming site and to reduce risk if an incident occurs. Escaped farmed salmon and trout have a negative impact on Norwegian wild salmon populations through genetic crossing, and due to this, measures to prevent escapes have a high focus in Frøy and in the industry.
Frøy is also aware of the importance to minimize any other environmental impact on marine life from our activities.
Despite a high awareness to ensure that our operations are executed in a manner that ensures good fish welfare and do not lead to escapes, incidents may still happen. In 2021, we experienced the following incidents in regard to poor fish welfare and escapes.
| Category | Incidents 2021 | |
|---|---|---|
| Reportable incidents of | ||
| poor fish welfare (ii) | 5 | |
| Incidents of fish escaping | 2 | |
| Biosafety incidents with | ||
| serious consequence | 0 |
When undetermined increased mortality occurs on farmed fish or conditions that have led to serious welfare consequences for the farmed fish, the fish farmer is required to notify the Norwegian Food Safety Authority immediately. If the elevated mortality rate or welfare consequences may be due to conditions on board one of our wellboats, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority will request documentation from Frøy to clarify possible causalities. In 2021, documentation was requested from us in
connection with 5 cases of elevated mortality subsequent transports or treatments carried out by one of Frøy 's wellboats. None of the incidents have resulted in any formal sanctions being made against Frøy from the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
There has been one case of possible escape of fish from our vessels in 2021. The possible escape occurred in connection with the unloading of fish to harvesting facility where the coupling between vessel and the harvesting facility was ejected by mistake. Large amounts of water and fish came out on deck before pumping was interrupted, and fish could potentially have come through safety nets along the ship's side since weaknesses were uncovered in the aftermath of the incident. The incident was notified to the Directorate of Fisheries and had no consequences for Frøy. An experience transfer report was sent out to all wellboats and delousing vessels to ensure that all barriers used in connection with escape protection were checked to be in order.
In addition, we had one case where inadequate inspection of nets as well as inadequate documentation of the inspection carried out by one of Frøy 's service vessels may have been instrumental in a major escape incident from a fish farm. The escape incident has been reported to the Directorate of Fisheries by the fish farmer and the Directorate of Fisheries has requested the necessary documentation from Frøy related to the incident. The Directorate of Fisheries' handling of the case is currently ongoing and any conclusion of misconduct by Frøy in connection with the incident have been taken.
Frøy has a dedicated Director of fish welfare with veterinary background that support our local crews with analytics and fish health competence. The Director works across the organization to share best practice and to ensure experience transfer and training throughout the organization. Effective sharing of best practice and veterinary support
is key to uniformly deliver high quality fish welfare solutions and to build fish health competence across the organization.
Frøy 's goal is for all employees on board our vessels to have theoretical and practical training in fish welfare through attending "Fish welfare courses" according to Norwegian Food Safety Authority requirements. The training will ensure that our understands which factors is important in their line of work to execute the activities ensuring good fish welfare. The training is to be repeated every five years.
Wellboat and delousing vessel Frøy provides services within a number of delousing methods, both medicinal and non-medicinal. Delivering solutions that ensure that the delousing is carried out efficiently and with good fish welfare is key for the client and business critical for Frøy. Fish welfare competence and efficient tools (equipment and vessels) are prerequisites to operate efficiently and sustainability. More information about the delousing methods Frøy provides can be found on our website.
Frøy work closely with equipment suppliers to develop new equipment that support Frøy with improving fish welfare. Gentle handling of fish from the farming pens through Frøy 's vessels and efficient monitoring and control of the water chemistry are key focus areas.
In November 2021 Frøy took delivery of the worlds largest wellboat Gåsø Høvding. The vessel is equipped with a range of new equipment and technology that may contribute to improved fish welfare. As an example, the vessel is equipped with a fresh water production unit on board which enables the reuse of fresh water up to 10 times. Reusing the water multiple times without compromising on fish welfare requires the right equipment and skilled crew with fish welfare competence and knowhow how to optimize the equipment. Removal of sea lice with the use of fresh water is time consuming and entails repeated handling of the fish. The
onboard production of fresh water on Gåsø Høvding may significantly reduce cost and time spent on the delousing operation, as well as contributing to better fish welfare. The large size of the vessel also contributes to quicker delousing which reduce the risk of cross contamination across the farming pens.
Frøy also contribute with keeping the population of sea lice down by reducing the release of residual material after delousing which can contain live sea lice. Residual material and sea lice are collected on all wellboats and delousing vessels. In this way, we reduce the spread of live sea lice to other nearby fish farms or wild salmon.
Our vessels contribute to good fish welfare while the fish are in the pens. Our net washing vessels flush the nets clean of growth since a clean net is crucial to ensure optimal flow through of water in the pens. Net cleaning is carried out in a gentle manner by using double systems (iii) extensively to reduce the time the net cleaner stays in nets and hence disturb the fish. Where possible, we equip our net washing vessels with battery-driven aggregates to reduce noise in and near the cages, which again leads to less disturbance of the fish.
Our procedures also describe measures to ensure good fish welfare for cleaner fish in connection with operations in cages.
Frøy 's Director of fish welfare is available for consultation by the vessels in case of doubt regarding applicable regulations for biosecurity, or if there is need of fish health personnel to confirm that the cleaning carried out on board is in accordance with the requirements. The in-house veterinarian also regulates the vessels cleaning plans which describe how to clean and disinfect the vessel and its equipment to comply by the regulations and provide necessary training to the crew in how to perform cleaning and

Frøy also works closely with suppliers of net cleaning robots to reduce net line wear which could lead to holes in connection with washing. In addition, Frøy also works closely with subcontractors to develop better camera technology to better uncover any deviations for all types of inspection (ROV/ diver/net cleaner).
If holes are uncovered in connection with inspection carried out by divers, all holes will be immediately rectified by divers with expertise in net repair in accordance with the net user manual.
Another important part of Frøy 's core business is the installation of moorings for floating aquaculture facilities. Our employees' expertise in this area helps to ensure that facilities are moored correctly according to the plant certificate and thus helps prevent the escape of fish.
Frøy is certified by the accredited certification company Aquastructures AS as an organization that performs the following services in accordance with requirements of the NYTEK Regulations and NS 9415:2009:
In connection with all contact with fish that are part of food production, Frøy is concerned that our business should not contribute to deteriorating the quality of the product and thus ensure good food safety. Cleaning chemicals are stored in accordance with government and customer requirements, and cleaning of vessels is carried out at a reassuring distance from aquaculture sites where there are fish.
Frøy has in 2021 started work on transitioning to food-approved hydraulic oils on our
vessels where any leakage of the hydraulic oil may come into contact with fish. Any spillage of hydraulic oil that is not food-approved which come in contact with the fish could contaminate the entire batch and the end product would not be approved for human consumption. This is an extensive work and will be carried out successively by scheduled replacement of hydraulic oil according to the vessels maintenance programs.
Our routines are intended to ensure that there will be no emissions of diesel fuel, or oil when operating in and around aquaculture sites.
Frøy is a verified supplier according to the Global G.A.P. Aquaculture standard and holds a DoC (Declaration of Compliance) issued by DNV. This means that our entire business is audited annually by a third party (DNV) to ensure that we comply with the elements of the standard relevant to our business, thereby ensuring that our Global G.A.P certified customers that by using our services they will be in accordance with the requirements of the standard. Global G.A.P is an internationally recognized standard for farm production and have a sub-standard aimed at aquaculture, the GLOBAL G.A.P. Aquaculture Standard. The standard sets strict criteria for:
GLOBAL G.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social
Environmental and ecological care
Frøy is also regularly audited by a selection of customers according to relevant elements within the Aquaculture Stewardship Council
(ASC) standard. The ASC standards focus on both the environmental and social impact of farming:
disinfection when needed. Through these measures Frøy reduce the risk of spreading infectious fish diseases. Frøy operate both under the Norwegian Food Safety Authority regulations and the customers' internal biosecurity regulations.
All vessels in Frøy use disinfectants approved by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority as primary disinfection of vessels and equipment between assignments and for disinfecting aquaculture equipment (for example rings and fleets for the fish farmers). Disinfectants approved by the Norwegian Food Safety Authority have documented sufficient efficacy to kill bacteria and viruses that can cause disease in fish.
In some cases, we carry out so-called cross-disinfection at the requirements of our customers. In case of cross-disinfection, a primary disinfectant is used in combination with a secondary disinfectant. In those cases, it is not a requirement that the secondary disinfectant should be on the Norwegian Food Safety Authority 's list of approved disinfectants since the primary disinfectant are approved.
Through measures to prevent the escape of fish in connection with their own operations or from our customers' fish farms through the services we provide to them, Frøy contributes to ensuring biodiversity in the ocean. Escaped farmed salmon and trout have a negative impact on Norwegian wild salmon populations through genetic crossing, and due to this, measures to prevent escapes have a high focus in Frøy and in the industry.
Frøy is represented in the authorities' escape forum, established in 2019 by the then Minister of Trade, Industry and Fisheries, "Forum for Escape Safety in the Aquaculture Industry". The forum consists of representatives from relevant trade associations affiliated with the aquaculture industry. The forum has received clear orders from the Ministry:
Frøy has also provided input in connection with the revision of the standard for floating aquaculture facilities NS 9415:2009 and has improvised changes after the revised standard NS 9415:2021 came into force in the autumn of 2021. Together with the NYTEK Regulations, NS 9415:202, regulates the construction, installation, operation and maintenance of floating aquaculture facilities to prevent the escape of farmed fish.
According to the FHF-funded (Norwegian Seafood Research Fund) SINTEF project "Knowledge and methods for preventing escapes", the escape of fish from wellboats or delousing vessels is mainly by:
Through risk analyses, risk-reducing measures and barriers have been identified to prevent escapes caused by or from any of our vessels. Examples include:
According to the same project referred to at the last paragraph, the escape of fish from fish farms mainly is caused by:
An important part of Frøy 's core business is the inspection of nets to find and locate any holes in the net and other defects in the cage components or mooring system. Inspections are carried out either by divers or by using ROV or net cleaning robot (when inspection are carried out as an integrated part of the net cleaning). In this work Frøy is investing in new technology in the form of machine learning to support our operators who carry out inspections in the work on detecting holes.

We recognize the impact our operations have on the climate and aim to reduce our carbon footprint. As a first step in this process, we have started mapping out climate emissions as inspired by the GHG Accounting Protocol.
The climate account presents a general overview of the company 's greenhouse gas emissions in the form of the greenhouse gas CO2 in relation to Scope 1 and 2, i.e., the parts of the business where Frøy has operational control.
The larger contributor to Frøy 's carbon footprint is the emission of greenhouse gases from our fleet. In 2019 Frøy therefore made a strategic decision to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the fleet by investing in more climate friendly vessels, and from then on, all wellboat newbuilds have been ordered with either diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery. At the end of 2021, 21 % of our wellboats and cargo vessels, 80 % of our larger service vessels, and 3 % of our smaller service vessels have diesel electric or hybrid propulsion machinery installed.
Greater operational utilization leads to reduced energy consumption which further leads to reduced fuel consumption and then again to reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
One example of operational utilization to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is that our logistics managers focus on achieving as good a level of coverage as possible for any transport assignment for our sea transport vessels. If goods are transported from A to B, goods must also be transported from B to A. This leads to a reduction of fuel consumption per ton freight transported.
Another example is that in connection with freshwater delousing, the need for the number of transport stages for the replacement
remote inspections where it can be used and aims to use it to a greater extent in the future, as the regulations allow for it.
As reflected in our ethical guidelines Frøy 's goal is that the environmental impact from our activities is to be kept to a minimum and we have a zero tolerance for spillage of oil at sea.
Pollution from ships is regulated by the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL 73/76). The MARPOL regulations consist of six annexes that regulate various forms of pollution from ships.
All our vessels are equipped with oil collection equipment in accordance with MARPOL - Annex I. Several of our vessels participate in the oil spill preparedness drills along the entire Norwegian coast, either under the direction of the Norwegian Coastal Administration or the Norwegian Clean Seas Association for Operating Companies (NOFO), in order to ensure good handling of potential major oil spills that could threaten our coastline.
| Oil spillage to sea [number of incidents] | |
|---|---|
| Air pollution | |
| NOX emissions [tonnes] | 845 929 |
| Percentage of vessels with SCR (x) | 20 % |
In 2021 Frøy had one major incident of overfilling of diesel fuel which led to spillage of 200 liters of diesel to sea. Cause analysis showed that the overfilling was due to violations of internal procedures and the incident was reported to the NMA. Immediate measures were taken to collect the diesel waste using oil booms, in addition to a number of preventive measures were taken related to the review of internal procedures
as well as experience transfer to prevent
of fresh water will be reduced by building well boats with larger well volumes. Fewer transport stages lead to reduced fuel consumption per delousing operation. In addition, a larger proportion of the fish in cages can be processed per assignment which again reduces the total energy consumption for the delousing operation. When producing fresh water on board the wellboat, this need will be further reduced. Frøy 's newest well boat and the largest well boat in the world, Gåsø Høvding, is an example of Frøy 's advances in this area.
In the case of remote inspections, we reduce transport, which will contribute to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions
the reoccurrence of similar incidents. Frøy was fined for negligence by the Norwegian Maritime Authority after the incident.
In addition, Frøy had two minor incidents of leakage of hydraulic oil on deck which led to some of the hydraulic oil running overboard and creating a minor oil film at sea. Both these spillages were during maintenance at dock and was quickly contained with oil absorbing mats on deck to minimize the amount of overboard oil spills.
Pollution to air is regulated by MARPOL – annex VI which sets limits on sulphur oxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from ship exhausts and prohibits deliberate emissions of ozone depleting substances; designated emission control areas set more stringent standards for SOx, NOx and particulate matter. A chapter adopted in 2011 covers mandatory technical and operational energy efficiency measures aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions from ships. As a measure to accommodate these regulations and contribute to reducing the environmental impact from exhaust gases Frøy has installed SCR equipment on several of our vessels.
None of Frøy 's operations in 2021 were subject to any emission permit requirements.
All our vessels have prepared their own Waste Management Plan describing procedures for handling different types of waste. Handling of waste from our ships at operation is mainly regulated by Annex V of the MARPOL regulations which deals with different types of garbage and specifies the distances from land and the manner in which they may be disposed of; the most important feature of the Annex is the complete ban imposed on the disposal into the sea of all forms of plastics.
As mentioned over the MARPOL – annex V regulates a complete ban on the disposal of all forms of plastic to the sea. All forms of
in connection with transport to and from land. There are clearly defined requirements for cleaning, washing and disinfection of vessels and equipment used at aquaculture sites. The requirements have different levels depending on the status of the fish and are defined in the Aquaculture Operations Regulations and the various disease regulations. Where there are requirements for control of the object before further operation, it is authorized fish health personnel (veterinarians and fish health biologists) who carry out such inspections. Cleaning inspection can be carried out either "on site" or by "remote" inspections. Remote inspections are carried out by crew performing the physical part of the inspection while being monitored by an inspector in real time. As well as transport, remote inspections reduce time for the object and for the inspector. Frøy uses
plastic must therefore be sorted on board and disposed of at approved waste disposal facilities ashore. In addition are packaging and used plant parts such as rings, nets and moorings from the aquaculture industry which may contain of plastic materials supplied to the fish farmer whom in turn disposes of it to enterprises that reuse the materials if possible.
A large part of Frøy Shipping's transport assignments are based on the transport of fish feed. Fish feed is delivered in large plastic bags, and these are delivered for recycling when they are empty. In addition, all plastic barrels and IBC plastic containers are delivered for recycling from all parts of our business.
To reduce the amount of microplastics and other waste in the sea Frøy acts as a sponsor for beach and shoreline cleanup operations in the local communities we operate.
For 2021 it has not been possible to retrieve data for total water consumption for Frøy 's operations, but Frøy is not a major consumer of fresh water in connection with our operations.

Overall Water Risk - cutouts from Water Risk Atlas, www.wri.org
We need access to fresh water in connection with freshwater treatment on our wellboats in addition to access to drinking water on board our vessels and at our office locations. Drinking water is mainly bunkered from approved drinking water facilities in our areas of operation. Frøy only uses fresh water from areas with a low or low-medium risk of water shortages or poor water quality.
A reverse osmosis plant has been installed on board the wellboat Gåsø Høvding for the production of fresh water from seawater, which will reduce the freshwater consumption in connection with freshwater delousing operations. This initiative will be implemented on other new builds in the future if appropriate.
As mentioned, gentle flushing of nets is an important focus area for Frøy regarding fish welfare, but gentle flushing is also important in terms of reducing the discharge of Cu-holding impregnation to sea. Our washing robots meet the maximum permissible flushing pressure requirements for ASC certified locations.
All vessels in Frøy that fall under the ballast water treatment regulations have facilities for treatment of ballast water that meet the requirements of the IMO's Ballast Water Management Convention. Treatment of ballast water is an important measure to prevent the undesirable spread of marine organisms because the transferred species
may survive to establish a reproductive population in the host environment, becoming invasive, out-competing native species and multiplying into pest proportions.
All wellboats in Frøy except one comply with the regulations on disinfection of transport water in accordance with Section 22 of the Transport Regulations. The vessel that has not approved facilities for disinfection of transport water has a limited transport permit in Norway and has mainly carried out assignments outside Norway in 2021. Disinfection of transport water is a measure to prevent the spread of infectious fish diseases between plants and production zones along the Norwegian coast. The wellboats in Frøy use UV illumination as a method for disinfecting the transport water.
When using medicines for the treatment of fish against sea lice on board our wellboats, we comply with the requirements of the Transport Regulations that the treatment water consisting of medicine residue should not be emptied closer than 500 meters from shrimp fields or spawning grounds specified in the Directorate of Fisheries' online mapping tool.
Going forward, we aim to expand our GHG reporting as we are able to collect more data from our operations and our value chain. We also will take necessary measures to collect data for water consumption of our operations.
As mentioned in the report an important measure to reduce the climate footprint and specifically the GHG emissions from our operations is to shift to more environmentally friendly vessels. The goal is to increase this percentage of vessels with either diesel electric or hybrid power over the coming year as a result of fleet renewal.
Frøy also aims to use remote biosecurity inspections to a greater extent moving forward, as the regulations allow for it.
Another important measure to reduce the environmental impact of our operations is to continue the modifications of the vessel' engines by installing SCR units to reduce the NOX emissions from the engine exhaust. In 2022 Frøy has taken the necessary measures to modify 2 vessels by SCR-installation which one of the modifications will be commissioned in 2022 and the other modification may prolong in to 2023. All new-builds must comply with the regulations for NOX reducing measures described in the MARPOL – annex VI from day one.
Frøy will also in the coming years sustain supporting initiatives for beach and shoreline clean-up operations in addition to other initiatives which will contribute to reducing plastic waste in the ocean.
Skilled employees are Frøy 's most important resource. Their hard work and competence are crucial for delivering good services and for the overall development of our company. Employee motivation and engagement are important for achieving our strategic goals and implementing sustainability in our daily operations. For Frøy it is particularly important to ensure the safety of all our staff. There are considerable risks connected to many of the services our team execute every day.
Prosperity relates to Frøy 's role in local communities and other societal contributions. For Frøy, prosperity involves securing the best people, local value creation through job creation and activities in coastal communities, payment of taxes to local governments and fair payment of dividends to shareholders. Furthermore, to ensure we stay up to date and ahead of the curve, we actively engage in projects relating to technological development.
Please find the complete overview of financial figures in the annual accounts section in the annual report.
At Frøy, the safety of our employees is our main priority, and all our vessels have a Safety Management System to ensure safe operations at sea. All vessels in Frøy covered by certification requirements have valid SMC/MLC/ISPS certificates and underlie a shipping company with a valid DoC (Document of Compliance) in accordance with the ISM code. Vessels that are not covered by certification requirements meet the Safety Management System requirements issued by the Norwegian Maritime Authority (NMA).
Research conducted by both SINTEF and the NMA show that workers at sea and in the aquaculture industry is one of the most at-risk occupational groups in Norway. The aquaculture industry is one of the
riskiest industries in the Norway in terms of personal injuries and accidents, while at the same time it is an industry with a high proportion of work-related sickness absence as a result of musculoskeletal disorders.
In 2021, we had 3 serious incidents that resulted in damage to either vessels or critical equipment. One incident involved the cargo falling from the crane during the lifting of a 200 kg heavy module from dock to boat.
The load shifted and fell 15-20 cm down on the deck due to miscalculation with regard to the strap method. The second incident involved the rudder locking up at speed due to technical failure and the vessel having to emergency maneuverer to dock. The third incident involved major damage to the pump due to accidental seawater intrusion into the pump room during maintenance work. The seawater intrusion is due to inadequate compliance with procedures for insulation of

equipment in connection with maintenance. All three incidents resulted in only material damage and no injuries, but all incidents had a high potential for a more serious outcome both materially and with regard to injuries to personnel. Experience reports have been sent out to all vessels to ensure learning from the events across the organisation in addition to corrective measures being taken to rectify technical errors and deficiencies where applicable.
We also had one grounding with serious potential in 2021. The grounding itself did not cause any serious damage beyond water penetration through a hole in the hull, but due to the grounding, serious safety deficiencies were uncovered in relation to non-compliance with safety procedures and requirements for safety equipment on board. The accident was reported to the NMA and Frøy was fined as a result of the safety concerns. Measures have been taken to ensure that similar safety deficiencies do not occur again.
All near miss incidents with potential are analyzed to uncover causalities and necessary measures are taken to avoid similar incidents.
Frøy observes that the number of personal injuries increase in correlation with the activity level and especially the number of minor injuries that do not lead to absence, such as crush injuries, fall injuries and cut injuries. These are injuries that with small margins could lead to more severe injuries in our line of work, so we work systematically with improvement and experience transfer across the organization to prevent similar incidents to happen again.
Review of nonconformities last period is a fixed agenda item in all meetings in the operational line, from safety and security meetings on board the vessels to reviews in board and management meetings. In addition, all incidents are reviewed weekly by the QA-department, to identify if immediate or preventive measures are to be taken
throughout the organization to prevent similar incidents down the line. Based on cause analysis and preventive measures identified, experience transfer is sent out to all relevant vessels either via monthly HSE newsletter or by using the internal form Experience Report. By these measures, we ensure the learning of incidents at all stages of the company. In the event of high-consequence vi incidents, investigations are carried out.
Our observations are confirmed by the Norwegian Maritime Authorities. The NMA chose to have "Safety culture and risk understanding" as the focus area in 2021 and has chosen to continue this focus area also in 2022 as it takes time to build a good safety culture. As described above, Frøy has taken several measures to accommodate the findings from both the NMA and internal statistics.
An important instrument the NMA has for experience transfer and dialogue with the industry is the Maritime Safety Conference. At the Maritime Safety Conference 2021, a representative from Frøy 's QA-department was asked to contribute to a panel to shed light on how we have handled the challenges of safety and risk understanding among crew members of the smaller service vessels in the aquaculture industry.
Among other things were the importance of the introduction of requirements for competence requirements for masters on smaller vessels that will come into force on 1st of January 2024 addressed. Frøy observes that the understanding of the need for safety routines, and not least documentation of compliance with safety procedures, is more prevalent among certified crew members than among crew members who have no qualification requirements related to the master role. This is not unnatural as training in safety and risk understanding at sea is provided in accordance with international rules for good seamanship in connection with the issuance of the new certificate of competence. Frøy therefore welcomes the new competence certificate for masters on cargo ships of 8 meters in overall length or more, and is already well underway with the training of crew on our smaller vessels to meet the new requirements.
The importance of having good routines for on-boarding of new crew members and introducing them to the company 's safety routines were also addressed by Frøy 's representative. In high season, the activity level is high on the vessels and it is easy that efficiency and deliveries become the focus both in the land administration and among the crew on the vessels. It is therefore very important that it is communicated at all levels that safety comes first and shortcuts should not be taken.
In connection with on-boarding, all new crew members must review the safety checklists for familiarization before they can start work. The familiarization checklist consists of checkpoints for, among other things, the placement of emergency and rescue equipment, muster point, the alarm instructions, and the general review of the company 's safety management system. They will also have a review by one of their senior crew members of HSE procedures including procedures for use and handling of chemicals, in addition to risk assessments for relevant job operations they are to carry out in their job. The HSE training also includes training in the use of equipment which may entail a risk of injury.
In 2021, work was started to digitalize documentation of all training for all employees as this has previously been done on different platforms in the different subsidiaries.
All employees, with the exception of a segment of smaller service boats, have Safety Insurance in accordance with NHO Shipping. As a result of mergers, there are differences between the companies. Treatment
insurance currently applies only to parts of the organization. In connection with sickness absence follow-up, various private services are used to get employees back to work faster.
The Frøy Group has announced clear attitudes towards safeguarding diversity and gender equality in our ethical guidelines. We want all our employees to feel included and respected for who they are and Frøy has a zero-discrimination policy. The policy established clear guidelines for limiting discrimination in our company and is based on The Equality and Anti-Discrimination Act.
If incidents occur, it can be reported through our whistleblower channel. No discrimination cases were received in 2021.
Our employees consist of 12 different nationalities. Our management systems are mainly available in Norwegian as it is a requirement from our customers that our employees should be able to communicate in Norwegian. Measures have therefore been taken to offer Norwegian language courses to employees which do not have Norwegian as their first language.
At the end of 2021 Frøy had a total of 814 employees, including temporary employees. 776 were men and 38 were women. Relatively speaking, the female employees are mainly employed in the onshore administration, 38 % of the total onshore employees are female. There are relatively few women employed as crew members on our vessels. Only 3 % of the employees on our vessels are female. Of these, no one is employed in officer positions on board. The aquaculture and shipping industry has traditionally been seen as a male dominated occupation and there have been few female applicants when positions are advertised.
The proportion of women employed at the middle management level in the onshore administration are also low (6 %), but the
proportion of women is higher at the top management level. At the end of 2021, Frøy 's management group consisted of 14 % women, while the expanded management group (xvi) consisted of 40 % women. In the transition to 2022, the share of women increased to 29 % and 47 % respectively following the employment of a new female CEO.
The Board of Directors of Frøy consists of representatives with broad experience and competence and has a female share of 43 %.
Up until now we have not implemented systematic measures designed to increase the proportion of women on board our vessels or at the middle management level. However, going into 2022 we will be exploring ways to improve the share of females in the organization. Attracting a higher share
of women increase the addressable talent pool for Frøy. Attracting the best talents and creating a innovative environment requires a diverse set of talents which is needed to create a sustainable position as a leading competence hub within aqua services.
In line with the duty of activity and reporting, an "ARP: Gender Equality Statement for Frøy ASA" has been issued. We refer to this for a more detailed description of how Frøy works for gender equality and against discrimination related to gender, pregnancy, maternity leave or adoption, care taking tasks, ethnicity, religion, beliefs, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression and combinations of these foundations.
In 2021 Frøy had 814 employees, and all our employees have full-time positions. During

2021, Frøy welcomed 200 new employees to our team and there was a turnover rate of 15 %.
| Number of employees | 814 |

The job market in 2021 was categorized by significant changes in working patterns as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, and this also affected our business. Several of our divers are homebound outside of Norway and Covid-19 regulation caused at times difficulties for them to maintain their employment in Frøy despite the fact that we implemented several measures to retain our foreign employees. Frøy also competes with several stakeholders for competent labor in the aquaculture industry, including our competitors and our customers. Concerning candidates with aquaculture expertise, the labor market is very tight, which sometimes makes it challenging to recruit new employees. All these factors resulted, as previously mentioned, in a turnover rate of 15 % in 2021. While we hired 200 new employees, 120 people chose to leave our company. As described in the chapter 'People', our people are our greatest assets and we will continue to do what we can to attract and retain the best people in the industry. In Frøy, all permanent employees are employed full time and we choose not to hire people in parttime positions unless explicitly requested by the employee.
For Frøy, it is very important to be an attractive employer for our employees. Our employees should feel that Frøy is a safe and responsible employer who cares about them and their mental and physical health. We offer competitive wages and facilitate to provide good working conditions for all our employees, where they are allowed to thrive and develop professionally.
An important part of our wellbeing work
is the implementation of a "Mental Health Strategy". This initiative was developed in 2021 to facilitate an inclusive and safeguarding culture, thereby contributing to wellbeing and community. In addition, a "Policy for drug and alcohol use and gambling" was also drawn up in 2021 to maintain a drug and alcohol free and good working environment. In this work we cooperate with the local "Follow-up Service", which is a service under the direction of the municipal Health and Care Services for people who, for mental reasons and or because of drug or alcohol problems, need assistance in everyday life.
We want all employees to be proud to wear the Frøy logo on their chest and feel that they are part of The Frøy Culture. Following the merger with NTS ASA the companies Norsk Fisketransport AS, NTS Shipping AS and NTS Management AS, a workgroup was established to work actively on measures to ensure a common corporate culture and a sense of unity among all employees of the new combined company.
To ensure a good flow of information across your organization, newsletters are sent out from the administration to all employees every two months with updates in large and small matters since the last time. In addition, separate letters of information are sent out in special news stories. Frøy also has a closed internal Facebook group which is used as a more informal information channel to our employees, as well as a channel for community building and communication between crew on the different vessels.
We have competence matrices for all positions at sea in Frøy. These matrices describe both legal requirements in relation to qualifications expected for each position, as well as Frøy 's standard for desired qualifications for the position beyond regulatory requirements. In connection with harmonization of competence requirements for the individual position and implementation of joint HR
systems, we initiated the work to further develop these matrices in the late 2021.
In connection with on boarding of new employees, they receive, among other things, a review of the company 's quality systems incl. safety management systems. In connection with this review, they will be introduced to Frøy 's "Ethical Guidelines" as well as the shipping company 's "Policy for Safety and Environmental protection". When the work of developing its own sustainability practices for Frøy has been completed, it will become an integral part of the company 's management systems and employees will be introduced into this in the same way as other management documents and procedures.
Historically, there have been few formal competence requirements for crew members on our service vessels related to the tasks they perform, but this is constantly being sharpened both from the authorities and from our customers. For example, with the revision of the NYTEK-Regulations and the associated standard NS 9415:2021, the competence requirements regarding inspections of nets, repair of net when in sea and installation of mooring for aquaculture facilities, etc. are now more formalized. One challenge in this context is that there is no specialized educational program that meets these competence requirements. Frøy has therefore taken measures to ensure on-the-job training consisting of both theoretical and practical training on board. The preparation of e-learning courses has been initiated for the most important tasks as part of a training plan for the given work task.
The expertise and experience of our employees is one of most important assets. It is therefore important for Frøy to give our employees good opportunities for professional development and advancement internally in Frøy. In 2021, we established Frøy 's internal education program. The goal is to ensure that all employees at all levels, through a tailor-made program, have good
basic knowledge of Frøy 's operations, management, and culture. The program is built around the following structure:
Work in the management team was initiated through a strategy process in the spring of 2021. A collaboration was later entered into with the Centre for Management for the implementation of the middle management program.
Frøy actively contributes to educating skilled workers and hires several apprentices every year. In 2021 we welcomed 35 new apprentices in Frøy which resulted in a total of 70 apprentices distributed on our vessels. We cooperate with the "blue" educations at both upper secondary and university college level, with Ungt Entrepenørskap (Young Entrepreneurship), Blått Kompetansesenter (Center for Blue Competence), NTNU and SINTEF. These initiatives are further described in the chapter about 'Technological Development and R&D'.
As an active industry player in Norwegian coastal areas, Frøy is a major contributor in local communities through job creation that contributes to upholding sustainable coastal communities in areas that are generally seeing a population decline.
| Economic contribution | [NOK] |
|---|---|
| Community investment | 393 617 |
Frøy employs more than 800 people who reside in communities along the entire Norwegian coast. We create important jobs for these communities, and we contribute significant tax revenues to local governments.
In Seafood Norway 's report "Aquaculture 2030", they have, among other things, looked at the aquaculture industry 's impact on local value creation in coastal communities along the Norwegian coast. In the report, they conclude that Norwegian value creation related to aquaculture will double by 2030. This will contribute to increased tax revenues and more jobs, and that the aquaculture industry will have dialogue at the local level to ensure that the needs and concerns of the communities are taken care of as much as possible. As a leading supplier to the aquaculture industry along the Norwegian coast, these factors will also apply extensively to Frøy 's activities.
In addition, we contribute by supporting local initiatives in the form of children's sports and cultural activities in the communities in which we operate. We also work with local upper secondary schools to maintain and grant local vocational education programs, in addition to supporting initiatives that ensure higher education in aquaculture-related education.
Frøy wants to be a leader in the development of technology and services that contribute to more sustainable development. As part of this work, we collaborate in R&D projects with suppliers, customers, universities and research communities that stimulate to
the creation of more sustainable solutions to the industry 's challenges.

Frøy field trials with fish were approved in August 2020. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority states that: "Farmed fish are entitled to good welfare. Therefore, the consequences and suitability of methods and equipment must be documented before they can be used". There is a great need for laboratory animal enterprises that have expertise in the use of equipment for non-drug delousing and other similar operations that involve handling live fish in the Norwegian aquaculture industry. With the laboratory animal activities, Frøy, together with our customers, have the tools to further develop and initiate new methods for fish welfare-prudent handling (delousing, sorting, displacement) of live fish, in line with the Norwegian regulations.
In close cooperation with our customers, we have applied for and carried out several trials and experiments where we have documented better efficacy and improved fish welfare in the development of new methods in 2021. It is required by law to uncover and document welfare consequences before new equipment is marketed and put into commercial use. Currently, we still have several trials in process, and we strongly believe that this work is necessary to quality assure and systematize the improvement work for the benefit of the fish's welfare and health.
In connection with rebuilding the former supply ship Frøy Challenger to a delousing vessel, Frøy together with one of our customers decided to install and test out a new type of fish pump in connection with the delousing unit. Frøy`s field trial department, the pump owner, and the customer applied the Food Safety Authority for tests to ensure fish welfare. To document fish welfare, we used both individual and group welfare indicators. The intention of the project is to improve
fish welfare by reducing wounds and injuries inflicted on the fish by the fish pumps, and preliminary results look promising.
The project "Coastal Preparedness" is an innovation project for the business sector part-funded by the Research Council of Norway which extends from 2020 to 2022. The project's vision is "Increased safety in coastal waters through strengthened operational preparedness" and is a collaborative project between various actors in the business sector and the research institution SINTEF Ocean, where Frøy have the role as project owner on behalf of its primary owner NTS ASA. The background for the project is that aquaculture at sea requires significantly greater focus on emergency preparedness and has the following themes:
Frøy primary contribute in connection with the development of an emergency vessel and operational emergency response support.
findings in connection with inspections of nets In 2021, Frøy has initiated two collaborative projects aimed at improving the detection and positioning of holes and other findings in connection with net inspections. Together with ABB we looked at the possibility of using machine learning for improving detection of holes in the net during net inspections, and together with Posicom we looked at the possibilities of automatic uploading of video recordings from inspections, both mooring and net inspections, to a cloud solution as well as tagging point of interest (POI), for example holes, in order to better position any findings in video and thus in nets.
The goal is also to determine a start-up date for Frøy 's talent development program during 2022.
In 2022 Frøy plan to take delivery of the wellboat MS Gåsø Odin and continue to invest in the vessel MS Veidnes that is scheduled for delivery during 2023. Both vessels will be built with battery packages and diesel electric propulsion. MS Veidnes will be built with a DC plant that may reduce the total energy consumption with up to 8% and a heat recovery system from cooling water and exhaust.
In the service segment Frøy will plan to delivery of 6 new vessels in 2022. 4 of the vessels will be installed with diesel electric or diesel hybrid propulsion systems. In addition, the company will invest in 2 large service vessels that are scheduled for delivery in 2023. The vessels will be equipped with diesel-electric propulsion systems and extra-large battery packages of 1,000 kilowatts which will greatly reduce emissions and diesel consumption compared to conventional diesel systems.
In 2022 Frøy will continue all our initiatives where we are contributing to local growth and development. We will participate at both the "Blue innovation Camp" and the "Bridgehead Conference" in 2022 to stimulate pupils to take an interest to the blue industry and help us solve our future problems with sustainability at mind, and to seek opportunities to cooperate with higher level students in future student assignments.
As a part of the ongoing development of an overall sustainability strategy Frøy will also strengthen and bring together the company 's innovation processes to ensure that necessary means are taken to find good sustainable solutions to the issues we meet in our day-to-day line of work.
Both these project will contribute to better quality in our inspections and supply the fish farmer with better overview of their plant integrity, and thus lead to fewer incidents of fish escapes.
We also had two students from NTNU and the Faculty for information engineering and electrical engineering, Department of Technical Cybertechnology writing their Master thesises (xviii) regarding the same theme.
Frøy also participates in innovation projects aimed at both lower secondary school, upper secondary school, universities and research institutions. In Trøndelag, we work closely with The Blue Competence Centre at Frøya in relation to both "Blue Innovation Camp" and the "Bridgehead Conference".
"Blue Innovation Camp" is an aquaculture-oriented innovation camp focusing on the blue industry that is part of the Trøndelag UE (Young Entrepreneurship) initiative where pupils in 10th grade at junior high schools come up with proposals for solutions to some of the industry 's issues, and in 2021 Frøy was one of three companies from the blue industry that contributed with an issue from our every-day work.
"The Bridgehead Conference" is a meeting place for businesses, students, researchers, pupils, teachers and comitted social actors that are held twice a year. Frøy participated in the conference during the fall of 2021 to make contacts with researchers and students which could be potential future collaboration partners.
Both these initiatives are important to ensure sustainable research and innovation in an ever-evolving industry.
An important goal for 2022 is to ensure a greater degree of gender diversity in those areas of our organization were this is required, such as among crew members on the vessels and especially among officers, or END NOTES in the middle management level on shore. We are therefore in the process of improving our focus on female recruitment and the goal is to recruit at least one female master on our service vessels.
Training and educating our employees are an essential strategic area to uphold our position as a competent and reliable provider of services to the aquaculture industry. To succeed in this area, it is essential to have control over our employee's competence and experience, and ensure that the crew members have the sufficient qualifications for the job they are executing. Therefore, the work of further developing and harmonizing the company competence matrixes will continue in 2022, as well as harmonizing the digitization of the competence documentation.
We will continue the work with ensuring a common corporate culture in 2022 hoping that the easing in Covid-19 regulations will allow the planned physical gatherings for all employees during the fall to proceed as planned. The wellbeing of our employees is important to us, and we will continue the preventive initiatives we started in 2021 regarding drug and alcohol abuse, gaming and mental health issues.
The collaboration with the Centre for Management for the implementation of the middle management program will be carried out with gatherings throughout 2022, and the work on content and digitalization of the Frøy internal education program will be started in 2022 and is planned to be completed in 2023. We will ensure that the middle management program will incorporate the training in the following areas:

This chapter provides an overview of the manner in which Frøy ASA ("Frøy" or the "Company") complies the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance of 2021 ("NUES"), as well as the information which Frøy is required to provide under the Norwegian Accounting Act Section 3.3b.
In the assessment of the board of directors (the "Board"), Frøy has the following deviations from NUES:
The general meeting is chaired by the chairperson of the Board, which constitutes a deviation from NUES section 6, last bullet point. It is the opinion of Frøy that the chairperson of the Board is deemed to be most well informed of the Company 's activities and is therefore best suited to chair the general meeting.
In the opinion of the Board, Frøy 's equity capital is appropriate to the Company 's objectives, strategy and risk profile.
The Board's ambition is that the Company shareholders will achieve a competitive return on their investment over time through a combination of dividends and an appreciation of the value of the company 's shares. The Board has defined the following long-term dividend policy:
The Company has an intention to pay out minimum 50% of net profit as dividend, provided that the Company 's financial gearing, at a fully-invested basis, is at or below the targeted debt level of NIBD/EBITDA 3.5x. In calculating the NIBD/EBITDA on a fully invested basis, the Company will take into account any debt and full year earnings from potential new builds. In its dividend proposal, the Board will also take into account future liquidity requirements.
The Board may obtain authorisation from the general meeting of shareholders to buy back Frøy shares in the market. In such cases, the Board will normally request that the shares are acquired in the open market, and that the authority lasts no longer than until the next general meeting.
When the general meeting of shareholders considers whether or not to authorise the Board to carry out share capital increases for different purposes, the specific purpose must be considered separately by the meeting. Such authorisation will be limited in time and will last no longer than until the date of the next general meeting. Authorisation granted to the Board is restricted to specific purposes.
See also item 4.
The Company has implemented guidelines to ensure that the members of the Board and executive personnel shall notify the Board if they have any material direct or indirect interest in any transaction entered into by the Company.
Sales of shares to employees in Norway may be conducted at a discount to market prices. See also item 6.
Contact between the Board and the investors is normally conducted via the management. Under special circumstances the Board, represented by the chairperson, may conduct dialogue directly with investors.
The shares of Frøy are in the process of being listed on the Oslo Børs and are freely tradable. There is no form of restriction on negotiability included in the Company 's articles of association. The Board is not aware of any agreements which may secure any shareholder beneficial rights to own or trade shares at the expense of other shareholders.
The shares of Frøy are registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS).
Notice of a general meeting of shareholders with supporting information is normally published on www.froygruppen.no more than 21 days in advance, and is sent to the shareholders at least 21 days before the meeting is held. Up to the next annual general meeting, the Company can call for an extraordinary general meeting with two weeks' notice, provided that the shareholders can participate electronically.
Notice of a general meeting of shareholders provides information on the procedures which shareholders must observe in order to participate in and vote at the meetings. Such notice also details:
Frøy complies with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance for the financial year 2021 with such deviations as set out herein.
Frøy is a Norwegian provider of business-critical aquaculture services.
Frøy assists fish farmers with maintaining efficient day-to-day farming operations at sea. The service of Frøy includes transportation of fish, sorting, counting, cleaning, treatment, inspection, installation and maintenance of sites. Frøy 's team includes 733 specialised aqua service professionals and 13 local offices along the Norwegian coast. The fleet is modern and well invested and consists of wellboats, service and transport vessels. Frøy has a management and organisation with seafood sector background and proven aqua service track record. Frøy is positioned as the largest fully integrated provider of competence and infrastructure services to the Norwegian aquaculture industry.
The key services provided by Frøy are: a) Installation and maintenance of fish farming sites b) Safe and efficient transportation of smolt and feed c) Sorting, counting and biological treatment of salmon, and d) Harvest and transport of fish.
The Company 's objectives, as stated in its articles of association, [is to own shares in companies within fisheries and aquaculture services, as well as anything related to the foregoing, including business and development assistance activities. The Company may also participate in other companies through share ownership or in other ways.]. The Board evaluates the Company 's objectives, strategies and risk profile at least annually and reports on these matter in the Board report.
Frøy has one share class. Each share in the Company carries one vote, and all shares carry equal rights, including the right to participate in general meetings. The Company emphasises that the interests of the shareholders is advanced and that all shareholders, in accordance with the requirements of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, is treated on an equal basis, unless there is a factual and legal basis for discrimination. Should it be necessary to waive the pre-emption rights of existing shareholders when increasing the share capital, such waiver must be justified by the common interest of the Company and the shareholders and explained by the Board in a separate stock exchange notice. Transactions involving own shares are normally executed on Oslo Børs. Buybacks of own shares will ordinarily be carried out at prevailing market prices.
Shareholders who are registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) may vote in person or by proxy at the general meeting of shareholders. Invitations are sent to the shareholders or to the bank/ broker where the shareholder's securities account is held.
Any transaction which is not immaterial between the Company and any shareholder, Board member, leading employees or any closely related party of such persons should be examined by an external third party before they are entered into. This does not apply for any agreement approved by the Board according to the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act. Independent valuations should also be arranged in respect of transactions between companies in the same Group where any of the companies involved have minority shareholders.
The following information is available at www.froygruppen.no:
Our aim is that proposals for resolutions and supporting information that are distributed are sufficiently detailed and comprehensive to enable shareholders to reach decisions on the matters to be considered at the meeting.
The notification deadline for shareholders wishing to attend the general meeting of shareholders is maximum five days prior to the meeting. The notification deadline may be extended or shortened, and will in all cases be evident from the notice of the general meeting. In accordance with the Company 's articles of association, shareholders that do not provide a notification of attendance to the general meeting within the deadline are not entitled to vote over matters raised in the general meeting.
In general, only shareholders registered in the VPS are entitled to voting rights. Beneficial owners of shares that are registered in the name of a nominee, are generally not entitled to vote under Norwegian law, nor is any person who is designated in the VPS register as the holder of such Shares as nominees. Although there are varying opinions as to the interpretation of the right to vote on nominee registered shares, the Company maintains that if shares are registered in the VPS through a nominee on a nominee account, cf. Section 4-10 of the Norwegian Public Limited Companies Act, and the beneficial owner wishes to attend and vote at a general meeting, in person or by proxy, the beneficial owner must provide written confirmation from the nominee that he or she is the real shareholder, as well as declaration from the beneficial owner themselves, that they are the rightful owner of such shares.
If such documentation cannot be provided, shares registered in a nominee account must be re-registered in the Norwegian Central Securities Depository (VPS) and be registered in the VPS on the fifth working day before the general meeting of shareholders in order to obtain voting rights.
Shareholders who are unable to attend in person may vote by proxy. Frøy will nominate a person who will be available to vote on behalf of shareholders as their proxy or facilitate that each shareholder can nominate a person to vote on behalf of the shareholder as their personal proxy.
The Company shall facilitate that the general meeting of shareholders votes for each candidate nominated for election to the Company 's Board and nomination committee.
The Nomination Committee shall prepare for the general meeting of the shareholders appointment of shareholder-elected Board members. The recommendations of the Nomination Committee shall include details on the candidates' background and independence.
The Nomination Committee ensures that due attention is paid to the interests of the shareholder community and the Company 's requirements for competence, capacity and diversity. The Nomination Committee also takes account of relevant statutory requirements regarding the composition of the Company 's governing bodies.
According to its mandate, the Nomination Committee shall be receptive to external views and shall ensure that any deadlines for proposals regarding members of the Nomination Committee and the Board are published well in advance on the Company 's website. In carrying out its duties the Nomination Committee should actively maintain contact with the shareholder community and should ensure that its recommendations are anchored with major shareholders.
The Company aims to appoint members to the Nomination Committee who are independent of Frøy 's Board, chief executive officer and other executive management staff.
Ivar Sigmund Williksen is a significant shareholder in NTS ASA, and is not independent from the Company 's main shareholder.
The remaining board members are considered as independent.
of importance to the Company; and
The Board has established procedures for its own work and that of the Company 's management, with particular emphasis on clear internal division of responsibilities whereby the board has responsibility for supervising and administrating the Company, and the Company 's management has responsibility for the general operation of the group.
Frøy 's Board of directors' instruction contains guidelines for, among other things, how conflicts of interests that may arise should be dealt with. The instruction applies to all Board members of Frøy.
If the chairperson of the Board is or has been actively involved in a given case, for example in negotiations on mergers, acquisitions etc. and another board director will normally lead discussions concerning that particular case.
The Board conducts an annual self-assessment of its work, competence and cooperation with management and a separate assessment of the chairperson of the Board. In addition, the Audit Committee performs a self-assessment. The assessment results are submitted to the Nomination Committee, which in turn assesses the Board's composition and competence.
To the extent possible, the form of proxy will facilitate separate voting instructions for each matter to be considered by the meeting and for each of the candidates nominated for election. It is possible to vote electronically in advance.
The general meeting of shareholders is chaired by the chairperson of the Board. This is a deviation from the NUES, but it is in the opinion of Frøy that the chairperson of the Board is deemed to be most well informed of the Company 's activities and is therefore best suited to chair the general meeting. The chairperson of the Board, minimum one nomination committee representative, and the CEO, and the auditor shall attend the general meeting.
In accordance with Frøy 's articles of association, the Company has appointed a Nomination Committee. This Nomination Committee is comprised of minimum two members, maximum four who are either shareholders or shareholder representatives. The Nomination Committee's chairperson and members are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders. If the chairperson resigns as member of the Nomination Committee during the electoral period, the Nomination Committee shall elect among its members a new chairperson for the remainder of the new chairperson's electoral period.
The guidelines for the Nomination Committee have been approved by the general meeting of shareholders, which also determines the remuneration of the Nomination Committee. All shareholders may propose candidates for the Nomination Committee at any time. In order to be considered at the next ordinary election, proposals must be submitted by the end of November in the year before the election year.
The majority of the members of the Board and members of the Board committees are independent of the Company 's executive management and material business relationships.
The nomination committee aims to achieve a board composition whereby the members complement each other professionally and the Board is able to function as a corporate body.
The Board endeavours to schedule in advance a number of regular [physical] meetings to be held during the calendar year, minimum four meetings per year, depending on the level of activity of the Company. Interim meetings may be convened if a director, or the administration, so requires. The Board meetings are chaired by the Chairman unless otherwise agreed by a majority of the directors attending. If the Chairman is not present or cannot lead the meeting, the meeting will be chaired by a board member elected by and among the directors present.
The work of the Board includes, without limitation:
In connection with the IPO in 2021, Frøy established an Audit Committee. The Audit Committee had 3 members, Dagfinn Elisassen, Anne-Sofie Utne and Hege Veiseth. Eliassen and Utne were not considered independent of the main shareholder of the Company and Utne were not independent from the executive management either cf. section 8. Veiseth was considered independent and had together with Utne the required accounting competence. On March 23 2022 an extraordinary general meeting of the Company elected a new Board of Directors, where Utne and Eliassen were no longer Board members. Frøy will elect new members of the audit committee to replace Utne and Eliassen.
In the opinion of the Board, the Audit Committee met the Norwegian requirements regarding independence and competence. The Board will also seek to meet the requirements regarding independence and competence for the new amended Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee shall function as an advisory and preparatory working committee to the Board. The Audit Committee shall (a) inform the Board of the results of the audit, and explain how the audit process impacted upon the Company 's accounting reports and their integrity, as well as inform on the Audit Committee's role in terms of preparation of the accounting reports; (b) prepare the Board's follow-up of the process with accounting reporting; (c) monitor and supervise the Company 's systems for internal control and risk management; (d) regularly be in contact with the Company 's auditor regarding audit of the annual accounts; (e) supervise and review the auditor's independence and (f) prepare for the Company 's election of its auditor, and provide a recommendation in this respect.
The Board ensures that the Company has sound internal controls and appropriate risk management systems through, for example, an annual review of the key risk areas and the Company 's internal controls. Internal audit corporate reports directly to the Board, but is for administrative purposes placed under the purview of the chief financial officer.
Frøy 's internal control system includes all parts of our corporate directives, HSE and corporate social responsibility requirements.
The board directors elected by the shareholders perform no duties for the Company other than their board duties.
Remuneration is determined by the general meeting of the shareholders, based on the recommendation of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee recommends compensation with the intention that it should reflect the board's responsibility, competence and time commitment as well as the Company 's complexity and global activities compared with the general level of directors' fees in Norway. Remuneration of the Board is based neither on performance nor on shares or share options.
The remuneration of the directors are disclosed in the notes to the annual accounts. If directors receive other compensation from the Company on an exceptional basis, detailed information will be provided in the financial statement.
Frøy has established guidelines for the Company 's reporting of financial and extra-financial information based on transparency and with regard to the requirement of equal treatment of all parties in the securities market. This also pertains to contact with shareholders outside of the general meeting of shareholders.
Shareholder information is available at www. froygruppen.no. The financial statements and annual report are sent free of charge to shareholders on request. Notice of general meeting of shareholders is sent directly to shareholders with known addresses unless they have consented to receive these documents electronically. All information sent to the shareholders is made available at [www. froygruppen.no] when distributed. Presentation of the quarterly reports as well as the annual shareholder meeting are simultaneously broadcasted through web casts. All relevant information is sent to Oslo Børs electronically for public storage.
In the event of a take-over bid being made for the Company, the Board will follow the overriding principle of equal treatment for all shareholders, and will seek to ensure that the Company 's business activities are not disrupted unnecessarily. The Board will strive to ensure that shareholders are given sufficient information and time to form a view of the offer.
The Corporate Governance Policy provides that the Board shall not seek to prevent or obstruct takeover bids for the Company 's activities or shares, unless there are particular reasons for such actions. In the event of a takeover bid for the shares in the Company, the Board shall not exercise mandates In the event of a take-over bid, the Board will obtain a valuation from an independent expert. The valuation should include an explanation, and should be made public no later than at the time of the public disclosure of the board statement, or the independent statement mentioned above. If any member of the Board or the management, or close associates of such persons, or anyone who has recently held such a position, is either the bidder or has a similar particular interest in the bid, the Board shall in any case arrange an independent valuation. This shall also apply if the bidder is a major shareholder in the Company. Any such valuation should be either attached to the Board's statement, be reproduced in the statement or be referred to in the statement.
Any agreement with the bidder that acts to limit the Company 's ability to arrange other bids for the Company 's shares should only be entered into where it is self-evident that such an agreement is in the common interest of the Company and the shareholders. The same applies to any agreement on payment of financial compensation to the bidder if the bid does not proceed. Any financial compensation should be limited to the costs the bidder has incurred in making the bid.
The auditor participates in Board meetings for approval of the annual accounts.
The Company 's auditor shall present an annual plan for its audit work to the audit committee. The external auditor shall participate in relevant agenda points at all meetings of the audit committee.
In addition, the auditor shall present a review of the Company 's internal control procedures, with identification of weaknesses and proposals for improvement. The Board shall at least yearly have a meeting with the auditor without presence of corporate management.
The Board has established guidelines for remuneration of members of the executive management, including the CEO, other members of the management and employees who are members of the Board.
The guidelines are binding for the Board. The Board can only deviate from the guidelines under special circumstances.
The guidelines shall be approved by the ordinary general meeting of the shareholders at least every fourth year and in any event if a significant change to the guidelines. The current guidelines were approved by the extraordinary general meeting in 2021.
The guidelines for determining remuneration of the executive management are based on the main principles for Frøy 's remuneration policy, which is that Frøy shall pay its employees a total compensation package that is competitive, but not among the highest, and in line with good industry standards locally. Where appropriate, compensation packages should also include a performance-based component, and the basic salary should reflect individual performance.
The guidelines are also intended to contribute to long-term value creation for the Company 's shareholders. A ceiling has been set on performance-based compensation. The Company is in the process of establishing a share-based long-term incentive program.
In addition, the Company shall prepare a report on salaries and remuneration to the management. This report shall be presented at the ordinary general meeting of the shareholders for an advisory vote. The report shall contain a comprehensive overview of paid and outstanding salaries and remuneration to the management. The report shall be published on the webpages of Frøy. The Board has established a remuneration committee.
or pass any resolutions with the intention of obstructing the takeover bid unless this it believes that the interests of the Company and the shareholders justify such actions. The Board will not execute mandates or pass any resolutions with the intention of obstructing any take-over bid unless this is approved by the general meeting following the announcement of the bid. Any transaction that is in effect a disposal of the Company 's activities will be submitted to the general meeting for its approval. During the course of a takeover process, the Board will use their best efforts to ensure that all the shareholders of the Company are treated equally. The Board shall also use its best efforts to ensure that sufficient information to assess the takeover bid is provided to the shareholders.
Pursuant to the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, any person who through acquisition becomes the holder of shares representing more than one-third of the voting rights in the capital of the Company is obliged to make an unconditional offer at a fair price for the purchase of the balance of the issued shares in the capital of the Company. The mandatory offer must be made within four weeks after the threshold was passed. If an offer is made for the shares in the Company, the Board shall issue a statement evaluating the offer and make a recommendation as to whether the shareholders should accept the offer. If the Board finds itself unable to provide such a recommendation, it shall explain the background. The Board's statement on a bid shall make clear whether the views expressed are unanimous, and if this is not the case, it shall explain the basis on which members of the Board have excluded themselves from the Board's statement.
Compensation of the auditor for auditing and other services is presented to the ordinary general meeting of the shareholders and is included in the notes to the annual accounts note 5.
The Board continuously evaluates the need for written guidelines concerning the executive management use of the auditor for other services than the audit. The Board finds that the auditor's independence of the Company 's executive management is ensured. The auditor shall give a yearly written confirmation stating the auditor's independence.
The Board shall establish guidelines in respect of the use of the auditor by the Company 's Executive Management for services other than the audit.
Frøy places importance on independence and has clear guidelines regarding the use of services from external auditors. All use of services from an external auditor, including non-audit services, is subject to prior approval as defined by the audit committee. We work for gender equality and against discrimination related to gender, pregnancy, parental leave at birth or adoption, caretaking tasks, ethnicity, religion, beliefs, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, and combinations of these foundations
This report includes all the companies in the Frøy ASA group. The Group has a line/ staff organization, where the staff functions in Frøy ASA serve all Frøy 's companies. The work we describe below apply to all Frøy 's companies.
including culture/tradition, working hours and shift work. In Frøy ASA, the share of female employees is 38%.
Frøy ASA's board of directors consists of 5 members, of whom 2 board members are women. The Board of Directors is aware of the company 's gender equality obligations In Frøy 's management team, which consists of 14 employees, there are 7 women. Frøy ASA has a female CEO.
There are few employees in part-time positions in Frøy 's companies. About 10% of all employees as of 31.12.21 are temporary employees. These are substitutes as a result of absence, or apprentices/cadets, who are on a time-limited training agreement.
The average number of weeks of parental leave in 2021 is 9.4 weeks for men and 28 weeks for women.
Frøy 's considerations with regards to equality and non-discrimination are further reflected in Frøy 's general personnel policy.
In the calculation of wage differences, we have assessed fixed pay and various additions, bonuses and benefits for the 2021 financial year. We have also considered equal work and work of equal value in the design of the position levels. The design of the position levels is based on existing job categories in the company and an assessment of which positions are included in the different levels.
There are very few part-time employees in our companies. As such the potential issue with number of involuntary part-time employees is regarded to be very limited.
Of Frøy 's 9 companies, it is only the parent company, Frøy ASA, that has a proportion of women large enough to highlight wage

differences. For Frøy ASA the survey shows that women have a fixed salary that on average accounts for about 83% of men's fixed salary. The difference is partly due to the fact that there is a relatively large proportion of women in accounting functions where the salary on average is lower than in other
positions in Frøy ASA.
In the other companies in the Group, the proportion of women is so low that it is not possible to publish findings from the survey in an anonymized manner. At least 5 of each gender is required at the position/group level. As wages are regulated by collective agreements in these companies, there is little room for discrimination between women
and men.
The proportion of women in Frøy overall is 5 % as of 31.12.2021. In the operating companies that have employees at sea the number is 2-4%. The low number of female employees at sea is considered to be a result of a combination of several factors,
In Frøy, the vast majority of our employees work shift work at sea. This means that work is being performed at the vessels for 2, 3 or 4 weeks continuously (some variations on shifts), with corresponding free periods. This makes it possible to combine working life and family life in the form of longer free periods. On the other hand, it is difficult to facilitate shorter days, or reduced work week, as a result of the shift work. Nevertheless, there are good opportunities to take parental leave in line with regulations.
To commence service on board Frøy 's vessels, you need to have a valid medical certificate. This means that there is little room for facilitation for disabled people in our sea-related jobs.
No survey of ethnicity, religion and beliefs has been carried out among our employees.
In the wage survey, we found some difference between women's and men's wages. This shows a risk of discrimination in our wage policy.
For employees at sea, wages are regulated by collective agreements, minimizing the risk of discrimination between women and men. Shipping supplements, which are negotiated in local negotiations, are based on positions and are not individual.
For employees of Frøy ASA, there are no collective agreements regulating wages. As Frøy currently consists of several merged companies, there is some difference in pay in equal positions. Efforts are being made to put in place a more detailed wage policy for administrative positions, to smooth differences in positions with equal work, and prevent future discrimination

1.1 General information and significant accounting policies
Frøy ASA and its subsidiaries (collectively "the Group", or "the Frøy Group") is a Euronext listed company at the Oslo Stock Exchange, and one of the leading providers of services to the Norwegian fish-farming industry. The Group operates a fleet of vessels which it uses to serve its clients, primarely along the Norwegian coastline.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group for 2021 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors on 7 April 2022.
Frøy ASA is incorporated in Norway with headquarters in Sistranda, Frøya. The address of its registered office is Siholmveien 34, 7260 Sistranda, Norway.
Frøy ASA was renamed from Frøygruppen AS. The name change was registered in the Company Register on 3 March 2021.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of financial position, consolidated statement of cash flows, consolidated statement of changes in equity, and related notes. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by The European Union ("EU").
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value through P&L or OCI (note 4.1). Further, the financial statements are prepared based on the going concern assumption. All figures are presented in NOK thousands (000), except when otherwise indicated.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in Norwegian Kroner (NOK), which is also the functional currency of the parent company. For each entity, the Group determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.
As the Group was established at 6 December 2019, the Group prepared its first set of financial statements covering the period 6 December 2019 to 31 December 2020 as allowed by Norwegian Accounting Act §1-7. This set of financial statements represents the comparative period for the 2021 financial statements.

1.1 General information and significant accounting policies (Continued)
Other accounting policies: Current versus non-current classification
The Group presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification.
Expected to be realised or intended to be sold or consumed in the normal operating cycle, Held primarily for the purpose of trading, Expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period, or Cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
All other assets are classified as non-current.
A liability is current when: It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle, It is held primarily for the purpose of trading, It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or There is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period
The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS and applying the chosen accounting policies requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The estimates and the underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
The accounting policies applied by management which includes a significant degree of estimates and assumptions or judgements that may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements, are summarised below:
Estimates and assumptions:
Useful lives and methods of depreciation considerations of property, vessels and equipment (note 3.1) Impairment considerations of property, vessels and equipment and goodwill (note 3.4)
The Group based its assumptions and estimates on parameters available when the financial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising that are beyond the control of the Group. Such changes are reflected in the assumptions when they occur. A detailed description of the significant estimates and assumptions are included in the individual note where applicable.
A detailed description of the significant accounting judgements are included in the individual note where applicable.
The group's loan agreements contain financial and non-financial covenant clauses, including cross default clauses. The assessment of whether the Group meets the requirements for classifying its borrowings as non-current requires signficant judgement by management. See note 4.2 for further information.
The Frøy Group is a part of the seafood industry and has carefully monitored the development of Covid-19, and how the pandemic has affected the industry throughout the year. It is challenging to determine the actual effects from Covid-19. The Group notes that there may be a certain impact on factors like changes in demand, access to workforce and credit risk.
The main risks related to Covid-19 for the Group are linked to operations of vessels and safety procedures for the employees. Th is could potentially lead to increased costs related to testing, increased personnel expenses related to overtime, and delays in the deliveries of equipment and spare parts. More specifically, a Covid-19 outbreak on one vessel could result in lost revenues if the vessel was to be isolated and is unable to operate for a certain period of time.
By the end of 2021, virtually all covid-related restrictions have been lifted in the areas in which the Group operates, so hence pandemic now has very small impact on day-to-day operations. However, the Group is continuously evaluating the situation, and clear procedures related to Covid-19 has been implemented following instructions as provided by the central and local government agencies.
Furthermore, the Group constantly assesses the counterpart risk of its customers and subcontractors. The Group's customers for the most part comprise of large and well-established companies where the credit risk is assessed to be low. During 2021 the Group has noted no material Covid-19 effects and no provisions or impairments have been recorded.

Property, vessels and equipment ("PV&E") is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the PV&E and borrowing costs for similar construction projects if they meet the recognition criteria. The gain or loss arising from the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset. When significant parts of PV&E are required to be replaced at intervals, the Group depreciates them separately based on their specific useful lives. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

3.4 Impairment considerations
Property, vessels and equipment (and intangible assets that are subject to depreciation) and right-of-use assets are tested for impairment when there are indications that the recoverable amount does not exceed the carrying amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is defined as the higher of fair value less costs to sell and the value in use.
Goodwill is not amortized, but subject to impairment testing. The testing is performed annually as at 31 December and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Impairment is determined by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which goodwill relates. When the recoverable amount of the CGU is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.
An asset's recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's or CGU's fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.
The CGUs' recoverable amounts have been determined based on their value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. The cash flows are derived from budgets for each individual vessel for 2022, with assumption for increase in sales price linked to CPI and an estimate of wage increase for the following 24 years, in line with a historic performance. There is also an element for capex for periodic maintenance of the vessel every 5 years. Restructuring activities and significant future investments are excluded from the budgets. For the last year, a terminal value is calculated, using a terminal rate of 2%.
The calculation of value in use for the service vessels and wellboat CGU is most sensitive to the following assumptions:
The discount rate reflects the current market assessment of the risks specific to the CGU. The discount rate for the Group is estimated based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC). The main components of the WACC are the risk-free rate, the market equity premium, the CGU's Beta, interest cost of debt, expected debt/enterprise value ratio and the corporate tax rate. The pre-tax discount rate is determined by an iterative computation so that value in use determined using pre-tax cash flows and a pre-tax discount rate equals value in use determined using post-tax cash flows and a post-tax discount rate (WACC).
The market for aquaservices, including service vessels and wellboats, is a quite young market. Future price development is therefore hard to assess with high accuracy. For the forecast period, there is a mix of firm contracts and expected income, mostly for the service vessel fleet. The future contract price is an uncertain factor when predicting revenues. Management assumes that the price will be adjusted following a normal consumer-price index, and therefore a factor of 1.02 has been added to the 2021 prices.

4.1 Overview of financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equityinstrument of another entity.
The Group's financial instruments are grouped in the following categories:
All the Group's financial assets are part of the Group's business model with the sole objective to collect contractual cash flows. Additionally, the contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, thereby passing the "SPPI test", constituting debt instruments measured at amortized cost.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at amortized cost: Represent the Group's interest-bearing liabilities as well as non-interest bearing liabilities such as trade payables.
Financial liabilities measured subsequently at fair value through OCI: Represents the Group's derivative financial instruments, see separate disclosures in note 4.10.
The Group's financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized at fair value plus directly attributable transaction expenses. Subsequently, these instruments are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method (EIR). Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss upon impairment, when the instruments are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost are considered for impairment by recognizing an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs). The Group applies a simplified approach in calculating ECLs for trade receivables and lease receivables, where the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognizes a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group bases its ECLs on its historical losses, adjusted forforward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. See note 4.7 for further information related to management of credit risk.
A financial asset is derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired, the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or the Group has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full under a "pass-through" arrangement.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

The fair values of the Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings are determined by using the DCF method using a discount rate that reflects the issuer's borrowing rate as at the end of the reporting period. The fair values of the Group's interest-bearing loans and borrowings are in most cases similar to carrying amount, as the interest rates are floating and the non-performance risk as at 31.12.21 was assessed to be insignificant.

4.7 Capital management and financial risk
The primary objective of the Group's capital management is to maximize value creation over time. The Group seeks to optimize the capital structure by balancing risk and return on equity against collateral for lenders, requirements for liquidity and investment capacity.
The Group manages its capital structure and adjusts in light of changes in economic conditions and the requirements of the financial covenants. The Group considers a solid equity ratio to be important to achieve its strategic goals in the future. Management regularly uses the ratio between net interest-bearing debt / earnings before interest, tax and depreciation and amortization (NIBD / EBITDA) to assess the Group's financial flexibility, as well as the ability to assume new debt. This key ratio and the equity ratio also constitute the Group's financial covenants to the banks. See note 4.2 for further information on the Group's covenant requirements.
Net interest-bearing debt (NIBD) corresponds to the sum of "Non-current interest bearing liabilities", "Current interest bearing liabilities" and "Cash and cash equivalents" in the statement of financial position. The equity ratio corresponds to the carrying amount of "Total equity" divided by the "total equity and liabilities" in in the consolidated statement of financial position.
The Group's equity ratio was 41.6% as of 31.12.2021 (2020: 37.6%). The NIBD / EBITDA ratio was 5.02 as of 31.12.2021 (2020: 5 .46).
The Group is not in breach with any covenants.
The Group's principal financial liabilities comprise interest-bearing liabilities, and trade and other current liabilities. The main purpose of these financial liabilities is to finance the Group's operations and investments. The Group's principal financial assets include trade and other receivables, other financial assets (mainly lease receivables) and cash and short-term deposits that derive directly from its operations.
The Group is exposed to a range of risks affecting its financial performance, including market risk, financial risk and credit risk. The Group seeks to minimize potential adverse effects of such risks through sound business practice, risk management and hedging. At the current time the liquidity risk of the Group is assessed to be low based on the operating cash flows, scheduled repayments of debt and the availability of credit facilities.
Risk management is carried out by Group management under policies approved by the Board. The Board reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks, which are summarized below.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily trade receivables). As the counterparty to cash and cash equivalents is reputable banks the credit risk associated is considered to be small.
The Group manages its credit risks by trading with creditworthy third parties only. It is the Group's policy that customers that want to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures, which include an assessment of credit rating and review of prior payment issues. The Group obtains sufficient collateral (where appropriate) from customers and ensures that the outstanding amounts do not exceed the set credit limits as means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis. As a result, the risk that counterparties do not have the financial ability to meet their obligations is considered low in the markets in which the Group operates.
The Group does not have significant credit risk related to a single counterparty or several counterparties with similar credit risk. Further, the Group did not provide any guarantees to or on behalf of third-parties liabilities.
The maximum exposure to credit risk at the reporting date is the carrying value of each class of financial assets disclosed in note 4.1
No agreements have been entered into for set-off/netting of financial instruments.
An impairment analysis is performed at each reporting date using a provision matrix to measure expected credit losses. The provision rates are based on days past due for groupings of various customer segments with similar loss patterns (i.e., by geographical region, product type, customer type and rating, and coverage by letters of credit or other forms of credit insurance). The calculation reflects the probability-weighted outcome, the time value of money and reasonable and supportable information that is available at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Generally, trade receivables are written-off if past due for more than one year and are not subject to enforcement activity.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per share (EPS) Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the profit attributable to ordinary equity by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

ACCOUNTING
There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the terms of the interest rate swap match the terms of the loan (i.e., notional amount, maturity, payment and reset dates). The Group has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationships as the underlying risk of the interest rate swap is identical to the hedged risk component. To test the hedge effectiveness, the Group uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument against the changes in fair value of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk.

6.2 Business combinations
A business combination is as a transaction or other event in which an acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses. A business consists of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. Determining whether a particular set of assets and activities is a business should be based on whether the integrated set is capable of being conducted and managed as a business by a market participant.
Business combinations are accounted for according to IFRS 3 using the acquisition method, also called purchase price allocation (PPA). The cost of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred, which is measured at acquisition date fair value according to IFRS 13, and the amount of any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree. For each business combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred and included in other operating expenses.
When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date.
Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognised at fair value at tihe acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial instrument and within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments: Classification, is measured at fair value with the changes in fair value recognised in the statement of comprehensive income.
Goodwill arises in a business combination when the fair value of consideration transferred exceeds the fair value of identifiable assets acquired less the fair value of identifiable liabilities assumed. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units, and tested subsequently for impairment. Reference is made to note 3.2 for an overview of the Group's goodwill and note 3.4 gives an overview of the Group's CGUs and annual impairment testing of the CGU to which goodwill is allocated.

In a business combination, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are valued at fair value at the time of acquisition. The various assets and liabilities are valued on the basis of different models, requiring estimates and assumptions to be made. Goodwill is the residual in this type of purchase price allocation. Errors in estimates and assumptions can lead to an error in the split of the value between the various assets and liabilities incl. goodwill, but the sum of the total excess values will always be consistent with the purchase price paid.

The useful lives of the intangible assets acquired in a business combination are assessed as either finite or indefinite and may in some cases involve considerable judgements. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are initially measured at fair value and subsequently tested for impairment by assessing the recoverable amount of each CGU (or group of CGUs) to which the intangible assets relates. Reference to note 3.4.
Intangible assets acquired with finite useful lives are amortised over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortisation period and the amortisation method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life are reviewed at least at the end of each reporting period. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset are considered to modify the amortisation period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

Under the equity method, the investment in an associate is initially recognised at cost. The carrying amount of the investmen t is adjusted to recognise changes in the Group's share of net assets of the associate or joint venture since the acquisition date. Goodwill r elating to the associate
or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately.
The statement of comprenhensive income reflects the Group's share of the results of operations of the associate. Any change i n OCI of those investees is presented as part of the Group's OCI. In addition, when there has been a change recognised directly in the equit y of the associate, the Group recognises its share of any changes, when applicable, in the statement of changes in equity. Unrealised gains and losse s resulting from
transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the interest in the associate or joint ventu re.
The aggregate of the Group's share of profit or loss of an associate is shown on the face of the statement of comprehensive i ncome outside
operating profit and represents profit or loss after tax and non -controlling interests in the subsidiaries of the associate.
Upon loss of significant influence over the associate or joint control over the joint venture, the Group measures and recogni ses any retained investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture upon loss of signi ficant influence or joint
control and the fair value of the retained investment and proceeds from disposal is recognised in profit or loss.

8.1 Changes in IFRS and new standards
New and amended accounting standards and interpretations issued by the IASB may affect the Group's future reporting. All possible effects of the new standards have not been reviewed, but none of the published changes are assumed to have a significant effect on the group's financial statements.
Of the new standards and interpretations that are issued and, but not yet effective, the following amendmends are considered most relevant to the Group's future financial reporting:
Amendments to IAS 1: Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current In January 2020, the IASB issued amendments to paragraphs 69 to 76 of IAS 1 to specify the requirements for classifying liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments clarify:
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023 and must be applied retrospectively. The Group is currently assessing the impact the amendments will have on current practice and whether existing loan agreements may require renegotiation.
Preliminary assessment indicates that the amendments will not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use – Amendments to IAS 16 In May 2020, the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment — Proceeds before Intended Use, which prohibits entities deducting from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment, any proceeds from selling items produced while bringing that asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Instead, an entity recognises the proceeds from selling such items, and the costs of producing those items, in profit or loss.
The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022 and must be applied retrospectively to items of property, plant and equipment made available for use on or after the beginning of the earliest period presented when the entity first applies the amendment.
Preliminary assessment indicates that the amendments will not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.
Onerous Contracts – Costs of Fulfilling a Contract – Amendments to IAS 37 In May 2020, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 37 to specify which costs an entity needs to include when assessing whether a contract is onerous or loss-making.
Defined benefit pension is a pension plan that defines the amount that an employee will receive at the time of his/her retirement. The payment depends on various factors, such as age, tenure and salary. The plan is recognized at the net present value of future pension benefits that is considered to be earned at the balance sheet date. Pension funds are recognized at fair value. Earned pensions in the period and net interest expense/income is recognized in the consolidated income statement on an ongoing basis and presented under the line item Employee benefit expenses. Changes in net pension obligation related to pension premiums and payment of pensions are accounted for. Actuarial gains or losses (estimate deviations) are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to profit or loss.

Changes in net pension obligation related to pension premiums and payment of pensions are accounted for. Actuarial gains or losses (estimate deviations) are recognized in other comprehensive income and not reclassified to profit or loss.
The amendments apply a "directly related cost approach". The costs that relate directly to a contract to provide goods or services include both incremental costs and an allocation of costs directly related to contract activities. General and administrative costs do not relate directly to a contract and are excluded unless they are explicitly chargeable to the counterparty under the contract.
The employees that has been covered by the defined benefit plans until 01.03.2020 are offshore employees, working in Norway. The agreements was terminated 01.03.2020, and after that date there has been no defined benefit pension obligations in the Group.

The agreements was terminated 01.03.2020, and after that date there has been no defined benefit pension obligations in the Group.
The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2022. The Group will apply these amendments to contracts for which it has not yet fulfilled all its obligations at the beginning of the annual reporting period in which it first applies the amendments.
Preliminary assessment indicates that the amendments will not have a significant impact on the Group's consolidated financial statements.

If the Group receives information after the reporting period, but prior to the date of authorisation for issue, about conditions that existed at the end of the reporting period, the Group will assess if the information affects the amounts that it recognises in the Group's consolidated financial statements. The Group will adjust the amounts recognised in its financial statements to reflect any adjusting events after the reporting period and update the disclosures that relate to those conditions in the light of the new information. For non-adjusting events after the reporting period, the Group will not change the amounts recognised in its consolidated financial statements but will disclose the nature of the non-adjusting event and an estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made, if applicable.

The annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and generally accepted accounting principles in Norway.
The preparation of accounts in accordance with the Accounting Act requires the use of estimates. It also requires Group management to exercise judgment in applying the Group's accounting policies.
Income from sale of goods and services are recognised at fair value, net after deduction of VAT, returns and reductions.
Revenues for services are recognised when the services are performed and the company has a right to payment for performed.
Assets intended for long term ownership or use are classified as fixed assets. Assets relating to the operating cycle have been classified as current assets. Other receivables are classified as current assets if they are to be repaid within one year after the transaction date. Similar criteria apply to liabilities. First year's instalment on long term liabilities and long-term receivables are, however, not classified as short-term liabilities and current assets.
Intangible assets that have been acquired separately are carried at cost. Trademarks are not amortized, but subject to impairment testing. The testing is performed annually and when circumstances indicate that the carrying value may be impaired.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of replacing part of the asset and borrowing costs for similar construction projects if they meet the recognition criteria. The gain or loss arising from the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset.
Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The useful lives and methods of depreciation of tangible fixed are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.
Costs related to leases of fixed assets are expensed over the lease period. Prepayments are reflected in the balance sheet as a prepaid expense and are distributed over the rental period.
Impairment tests are carried out if there is indication that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the estimated recoverable amount. The test is performed on the lowest level of fixed assets at which independent ingoing cashflows can be identified. If the carrying amount is higher than both the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use (net present value of future use/ownership), the asset is written down to the highest of fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. Previous impairment charges, except write-down of goodwill, are reversed in later periods if the conditions causing the write-down are no longer present.
The cost method is applied to investments in other companies. The carrying amount is increased when funds are added through capital increases or when group contributions are made to subsidiaries. Dividends received are generally recognised as income. Dividends/group contribution from subsidiaries are booked in the same year as the subsidiary makes the provision for the amount. Dividends from other companies are reflected as financial income when the dividends are approved. Investments are written down to fair value if the fair value is lower than the carrying amount.
Accounts receivables and other receivables are recorded in the balance sheet at face value after deduction of provisions for expected loss. Provisions for losses are made on the basis of individual assessments of the individual receivables. Additionally, for accounts receivables, an unspecified provision is made to cover expected losses.
The company has a defined contribution pension plan for its employees which satisfies the statutory requirements under the Norwegian law on required occupational pension ("lov om obligatorisk tjenestepensjon").
The tax charge in the income statement includes both payable taxes for the period and changes in deferred tax. Deferred tax is calculated at 22 % on the basis of the temporary differences that exist between accounting and tax values, as well as any possible taxable loss carried forwards at the end of the accounting year. Tax enhancing or tax reducing temporary differences, which are reversed or may be reversed in the same period, have been offset and netted.
The disclosure of deferred tax benefits on net tax reducing differences which have not been eliminated, and tax losses varied forward losses, is based on estimated future earnings. Deferred tax and tax benefits which may be shown in the balance sheet are presented net.
The cash flow statement has been prepared according to the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits, and other short-term investments which immediately and with minimal exchange risk can be converted into known cash amounts, with due date less than three months from purchase date.

The tax effect from the costs charged directly against equity has also been charged directly against equity, thus explaining the deviation between change in deferred tax/deferred tax asset as per the income statement and change in deferred tax/ deferred tax asset as per the balance sheet.

To the Annual Shareholders' Meeting of Frøy ASA
We have audited the financial statements of Frøy ASA (the Company) which comprise the financial statements of the Company and the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (the Group). The financial statements of the Company comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2021 and the income statement, statement of cash flows and statement of changes in equity for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements of the Group comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of cash flows and consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion
• the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at 31
Group as at 31 December 2021 and its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Our opinion is consistent with our additional report to the audit committee.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and the Group in accordance with the requirements of the relevant laws and regulations in Norway and the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants' International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
To the best of our knowledge and belief, no prohibited non-audit services referred to in the Audit Regulation (537/2014) Article 5.1 have been provided.
We have been the auditor of the Company for 2 years from the election by the general meeting of the shareholders on 10 January 2020 for the accounting year 2020.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the

Independent auditor's report - Frøy ASA 2021
A member firm of Ernst & Young Global Limited
We have nothing to report in this regard, and in our opinion, the board of directors' report, the statement on corporate governance and the statement on corporate social responsibility are consistent with the financial statements and contain the information required by applicable legal requirements.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the Company in accordance with the Norwegian Accounting Act and accounting standards and practices generally accepted in Norway and of the consolidated financial statements of the Group in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or the Group, or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's and the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to

financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures, including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the financial statements.
The carrying amount of goodwill as 31 December 2021 was NOK 687 million, with no impairment reported in 2021. The goodwill is related to an acquisition in 2020 and is allocated to two cash generating units.
Key assumptions in the impairment assessment included the existing contracts and expected future utilization, operating cost, useful life and discount rate. Considering the degree of management's judgement in establishing the key assumptions and the potential impacts on the estimated recoverable amounts of changes in such assumptions, we considered the impairment assessment as a key audit matter.
We refer to note 3.4: Impairment considerations.
Our audit procedures included an assessment of the key assumptions and methods used by management in the impairment assessment. We performed an assessment of the discounted cash flows projected by management through review of the underlying assumptions such as revenue growth rates, EBITDA margins and operating profit. We compared the input data used by management to supporting evidence such as actual results, agreements and budgets approved by the board of directors.
Furthermore, we involved our internal valuation experts and assessed the reasonability of the weighted average cost of capital (the discount rate) used in the discounted cash flow model by comparing the estimated beta, risk -free interest rates on government bonds, market risk premium and cost for debt to peer group data, relevant external sources and the Group's specific factors. We also tested the mathematical accuracy of the valuation model and performed sensitivity analysis on the most critical assumptions.
Other information consists of the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor's report thereon. Management (the board of directors and the chief executive officer) is responsible for the other information. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information, and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information, and, in doing so, consider whether the board of directors' report, the statement on corporate governance and the statement on corporate social responsibility contain the information required by applicable legal requirements and whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information or that the information required by applicable legal requirements is not included, we are required to report that fact.

As part of our work, we performed procedures to obtain an understanding of the company's processes for preparing its annual report in XHTML format. We evaluated the completeness and accuracy of the iXBRL tagging and assessed management's use of judgement. Our work comprised reconciliation of the iXBRL tagged data with the audited financial statements in human-readable format. We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with the board of directors regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with the board of directors, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
As part of our audit of the financial statements of Frøy ASA we have performed an assurance engagement to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements included in the annual report, with the file name 549300U4W5TODHJ1RL14-2021-12-31-en.zip, has been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the requirements of the Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2019/815 on the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF Regulation) and regulation given with legal basis in Section 5-5 of the Norwegian Securities Trading Act, which includes requirements related to the preparation of the annual report in XHTML format and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements.
In our opinion, the financial statements included in the annual report have been prepared, in all material respects, in compliance with the ESEF Regulation.
Management is responsible for the preparation of an annual report and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements that complies with the ESEF Regulation. This responsibility comprises an adequate process and such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of an annual report and iXBRL tagging of the consolidated financial statements that is compliant with the ESEF Regulation.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on whether, in all material respects, the financial statements included in the annual report have been prepared in accordance with the ESEF Regulation based on the evidence we have obtained. We conducted our engagement in accordance with the International Standard for Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3000 – "Assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical financial information". The standard requires us to plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements included in the annual report have been prepared in accordance with the ESEF Regulation.
