Tonje Foss, CEO of Frøy ASA (“Frøy” or the “Company”) commented:
“In Q1 22 Frøy report double digit growth in revenue and EBITDA vs. Q1 21. We experienced a normal seasonal winter slowdown in the quarter, while demand for new capacity and contracts have remained high. During Q1 we delivered several important operational milestones facilitating for continued growth in the years to come.
Key milestones during Q1 22 were:
- Gained approval to roll out new method for removal of sea lice with documented positive results on fish welfare and efficiency.
- Delivery of 3 new high-capacity service vessels.
- Negotiated and structured 5 multi-year time charter contracts with combined value estimated to approx. NOK 340 million in the service segment.
- Negotiated shipbuilding contract for construction of a 4500 m3 wellboat at an attractive newbuild price.
We see the positive underlying market trends continue driven by farming in more exposed locations, larger farming sites, new regulations and ESG requirements. Our focus is to grow profitably based on our minimum return on equity requirement of 10-18% and to continue developing sustainable and efficient solutions to fish farmers.”
