Newfoundland project review

  • Fully operational hatchery, nursery and smolt units

FINANCIALS

Profit & loss

  • Increased market prices vs Q2 2020, somewhat offset by downgraded fish and fixed price contracts
  • Farming cost per kg increased vs Q2 2020 due to lower harvest volume in general, and biological challenges in Finnmark in particular
  • Cost reduction expected as biological conditions are normalizing
  • Post-smolt strategy expected to decrease disease outbreaks, sea lice treatment and fish handling, increasing the survival rates and reducing the overall operational costs
  • Net financial items impacted positively from forex (impacted negatively in Q2 2020), offsetting the increased debt service costs YTD 2021 compared with YTD 2020
  • Interests paid on loans higher in Q2 2021/YTD 2021 primarily due to bond financing, and higher margin on term loans due to temporary amended loan agreement
