OPERATIONAL REVIEW

GSF Rogaland

Quarterly performance

Strong freshwater performance during the quarter

  • 1.2 million smolt released with an average input weight of 1,290 grams
  • All freshwater facilities, incl. jointly-owned, have had good production during the quarter
  • First fish from Årdal Aqua successfully transferred to sea

Strong seawater operations, supported by favorable biological conditions

  • Continued low mortality with a 12-month rolling survival rate of 92%
  • Superior share increased from 59% in Q2 2024 to 86% in Q2 2025

Realized price of NOK 74.8/kg, down 12% year-over-year due to lower spot prices

• Impact was partly offset by the higher share of superior-quality fish and fixed price contracts. Market prices are expected to increase towards end of this year.

Farming cost at NOK 58.3/kg, still below long-term target of NOK 60/kg

• Operational performance continues to improve, farming cost increased Q-O-Q as we have started harvesting at more cost-intensive sites.

Regional outlook

Farming cost is expected to increase slightly in Q3 from low H1 2025 level; however, full-year farming cost per kg is projected at NOK 60 (NOK 3 below previous Q4

2024 guidance) driven by improved biology and operational efficiency from post-smolt

Estimated Q3 2025 harvest: 8,000 tonnes. Estimated FY 2025 harvest: 30,000 tonnes

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Profit & loss

Sales revenues negatively impacted by lower prices

• Partly off-set by higher superior share and fixed price contracts

Farming cost in the quarter is NOK 58.3 per kg, modest increase of NOK 3.7 per kg from Q1 2025

• Increased farming cost as expected, and still below long-term target of NOK 60 per kg

Operational EBIT of NOK 91 million (NOK 10.3 per kg)

• Not adjusted for future normalized HQ cost and cost adapted to continued business

Net financial items carry full financial cost in ASA

• Revised financial structure following divestment will result in notably reduced net financial cost

Preliminary estimate of tax included

Capital allocation strategy will favor dividends

Balance sheet reviewed for optimization...

  • Current financial structure is not sustainable
  • Balance sheet to be optimized, ensuring a resilient foundation
  • Financial instruments to be reviewed – objective to replace Hybrid Bond shortly after closing of transaction

Liquidity buffer normalized for Rogaland operation …

  • Operational liquidity buffer estimated to NOK 250 million
  • Sufficient liquidity reduce current dependence on factoring, leading to significant cost reduction
  • Additional liquidity buffer to partly cover potential future legal claims

dividend distribution...1

While still ensuring

• In general, we aim to prioritize the dividend to shareholders within the boundaries set by required liquidity and balance sheet optimization
