Grieg Seafood ASA: GSF Q1 2015 - Still good and stabilized production

Highlights - First Quarter 2015

* EBIT before fair value adjustment of biomass was MNOK 70 in Q1 (MNOK 143 in

2014).

* Production has been good throughout the period, with volume indication for

2015 maintained at 72 000 tons. Some of the expected Q1 volume has been

moved to Q2.

* High costs on harvested fish in the company's European regions.

* Higher production and lower costs in BC.

* Strong underlying market in Europe, but price pressure as a consequence of

increased offer and a closed Russian market. Considerable falling/descending

prices in the American market.

* With the establishment of Ocean Quality in North America, sales from all GSF

regions are now handled through this organisation. OQ is now a subsidiary of

GSF.

First Quarter Results

EBIT for the Group in Q1 before fair value adjustment of biomass was MNOK 70,

against MNOK 87 in 2013. The harvested volume in Q1 was 13 081 tons, against

13 095 in the same period last year, reflecting a decrease of 0.1%.

EBIT per kilo stood at NOK 4.9, after including most of Ocean Quality's sales.

For GSF as a whole, including all of OQ, EBIT per kilo was NOK 5.4.

Salmon prices fell slightly in the first quarter, reflecting the continued

closure of the Russian market and a general increase in the supply of salmon

compared with Q1 2014. This is not a significant decline, and the European

market is characterised by strong demand. In the American market the trend has

been significantly weaker.

The level of business based on fixed price contracts was low in Q1 and will

remain so in the second quarter, while some increase can be expected in Q3.

PD among fish in Rogaland and harvesting from inefficient locations in Finnmark,

including North Cape, resulted in a high cost level in Norway in Q1. The cost of

harvested fish was also high in Shetland due to de-licing treatment. In BC the

cost of harvested fish is falling thanks to a good biological situation over the

last year.

Sea production was stable throughout Q1 in all regions.

The accounts show a profit of MNOK 46 before tax and fair value adjustment of

biomass, against MNOK 123 in Q1 2014.

Group sales revenues in Q1 totalled MNOK 990, reflecting a decline of 2.5% on

the corresponding period in 2014. Volumes were 0.1% lower.

Outlook

Limited supply-side growth is expected to result in a strong market in the

period ahead, but with the possibility of regional variations in the short term.

GSF expects to harvest 72 000 tons in 2015, which includes a harvested volume of

around 13 000 tons from BC. In Finnmark and Shetland the harvested volumes will

fall slightly. This must be seen in the light of harmonization with the zoning

and location structure in these regions and which will also result in slightly

higher costs in 2015. These volumes are expected to increase again in 2016. The

harvested volume in Q2 2015 is expected to be 16 700 tons.

It is expected high costs for the fish which will be harvested in the company's

European regions in Q2.

Ocean Quality has expanded its activities to include the sale of GSF's fish in

BC. All of the fish produced by GSF is therefore sold through Ocean Quality, and

this expected to provide global synergies on the sales side.

Andreas Kvame has been appointed CEO of the company and will take up his

position on 1 June 2015. It is expected that he will continue the process of

stabilising the biological situation in each of the regions. GSF's main goals

are better licence utilisation and lower costs through continuous improvement of

biological performance.
