Måsøval is a Norwegian fish farming pioneer. Ever since the company was founded in 1973, our dedicated employees have worked in close harmony with nature.
On the coast of central Norway, the Atlantic provides strong currents and high tidal range, ensuring an abundance of fresh, clean seawater. It's here, in one of the most beautiful coastal landscapes in the world, that we make one of the best ingredients in the world – Salmon: Made by nature, pioneered by Måsøval.
Led by the third generation of the Måsøval family, we now produce more than 16 000 t of salmon a year, serving 1.6 million people –every single week, year round.

2.FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
(Figures in brackets refer to Q3 2020, unless specified otherwise)
2.1. REVENUES AND RESULTS
The Group achieved operating revenues of MNOK 483 in the third quarter of 2021, the best third quarter in the Group's history. The Group's operational EBIT in Q3 2021 was MNOK 114, an improvement of MNOK 66 compared to the same period last year. The increase in revenues and EBIT is mainly attributable to larger harvested volumes in Q3 2021 (+2 330 t) and higher achieved prices for the farming segment (+NOK 10.2) compared to the corresponding quarter last year. In addition, total revenues and EBIT was positively influenced by acquisitions made in Q2.
Måsøval harvested 7 265 t gutted weight in this quarter. This represents an increase in harvested volumes of 47 percent compared to the corresponding quarter in 2020. The increase in harvested volumes comes as a consequence of the new MTB acquired in 2020 and 2021.
2.2. BALANCE SHEET
At the end of Q3 2021, total assets were MNOK 2 145, a decrease in total assets of MNOK 81 since the previous quarter. This is mainly caused by a decline of MNOK 67 in biological assets. Total property, plant and equipment decreased by MNOK 2 and ended at MNOK 442 (MNOK 444 in Q2 2021). Total non-current assets decreased slightly by MNOK 5. Further, total current assets decreased by MNOK 78 from the end of Q2 2021. The Group's receivables increased by MNOK 2 and cash and cash equivalents decreased by MNOK 19.
The Group's net interest-bearing debt increased by MNOK 25 compared to the end of Q2 2021, as remaining payments from Q2 acquisitions were made.
At the end of the reporting quarter, the Group's total equity was MNOK 712, an increase of MNOK 70 in comparison with the end of Q2 2021. Equity ratio at the end of Q3 2021 was 33.2%, up from 28.8% after Q2 2021.
2.3. STATEMENT OF CASH FLOW
The Group achieved a positive cash flow from operating activities of MNOK 106 during the third quarter of this year. Net cash flow generated by investing and financial activities had, on the other hand, a negative impact on the cash flow. Cash outflows from investment activities are primarily related to payments for property, plant, equipment and amounted to MNOK 14 (MNOK 512). Net cash generated by financing activities in Q3 2021 reached MNOK -110 (MNOK 314). In Q3 2021 the Group raised new non-current borrowings totalling MNOK 10 and spent MNOK 95 on repayment of non-current and current borrowings.
Further, the Group increased the outstanding balance on it´s overdraft credit facility by MNOK 11. The negative cash flow is mainly related to final payments related to Q2 acquisitions and the listing process.
3.OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE
The management monitors and allocates resources to the Group's business activities as two operating segments. In addition, overhead costs, related HQ costs and intra-segment transactions are reported as Other/Eliminations.
3.1. SEGMENT INFORMATION - FARMING
(Figures in brackets refer to Q3 2020, unless specified otherwise)
The farming segment achieved sales revenues of MNOK 441 in Q3 2021, of which MNOK 410 were related to the sale of salmon. The increase of MNOK 193 compared to the corresponding period last year is attributable to a larger harvested volume and better prices. Operational EBIT amounted to MNOK 121 (MNOK 57). Operational EBIT per kg harvested salmon arrived at NOK 16.6.
7 265t (4 935t) were harvested in the third quarter of 2021. The sales price per kg was NOK 10.2 higher than the sales price achieved in Q3 2020. The proportion of superior quality was at a similar level as in Q3 2020.

4.MARKET OUTLOOK
4.1. PRICE (NASDAQ)
The salmon price in Q3 has decreased slightly in comparison with Q2 2021. However, the salmon price per kg was significantly higher in this quarter compared to the corresponding quarter in 2020.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect the world, including the salmon market, but this does not seem to affect prices negatively. The salmon price is expected to remain strong for the rest of the year. The Fishpool forward price for Q4 this year is NOK 61 and the average forward price in the period of Q1 2022 - Q2 2O22 is NOK 66.
5.OTHER MATTERS
5.1. COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The COVID-19 pandemic has not significantly affected the Group's operations during Q3. We have a strong focus on complying with the national and local authorities' infection control rules.
The organization is updated on changes in infection control rules and continuously reminded of current rules. The situation is followed up carefully and in line with the authorities' recommendations and we have mainly kept the measures at a stable level in Q3.
5.2. OTHER PROJECTS
5.2.1 AQUA SEMI
In 2019 Måsøval received 4 development licenses to develop the concept Aqua Semi. Aqua Semi is designed to open up new areas for salmon farming, reduce lice and disease contagion, improve fish health and lower operational costs. The project is still in a development phase. The next milestone of this project is to negotiate and conclude the contract for building the unit. We expect to conclude negotiations during 1H-2022 (for more detailed information see Annual report 2020 pages 16-19).
5.2.2 POST-SMOLT
The Group's post-smolt project is still in a development phase. In 2020, Måsøval acquired a land-based facility and started design work to develop production facilities that can produce up to 900 000 post-smolts of 550 grams in phase 1. In addition, there are development opportunities to double the production capacity. The project is considered to be an important strategic move to increase the flexibility of the Group's smolt strategy and production plans. The main ambition of this project is to develop a production unit that can produce 2 million post-smolts at average weight of 500 grams per year. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority (Mattilsynet) has given approval and we are waiting for approval from the County Governor (Statsforvalteren) in Trøndelag. Our plan is to release the first fish from this project in 2024 (for more detailed information see Annual report 2020 pages 20-23).

Måsøval will consider an uplisting to Oslo Stock Exchange in 2022.

7.EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE
7.1. ACQUISITION OF VARTDAL GRUPPEN
7.1.1 TRANSACTION OVERVIEW
Måsøval has entered into an agreement with Vartdal Invest AS to acquire 100% of the shares in its salmon farming operations ("Vartdal Gruppen") for a total enterprise value of MNOK 1 521. Vartdal Gruppen is a fully integrated salmon farmer operating four licenses for production of Atlantic salmon in production area 5 with 3 120t MAB1 . In addition, Vartdal Gruppen owns and operates two modern post-smolt facilities with approximately 15 000 m3 tank capacity, a MAB of 670 t and annual production capacity of 1 200 t. A processing and freezing facility is also part of the transaction.
The salmon farming unit of Vartdal Gruppen is valued at MNOK 1 441 and the processing and freezing units are valued at MNOK 80.
The transaction is fully financed through debt facilities from DNB Bank ASA and a share settlement to the seller of MNOK 200 through issuance of 4 761 904 Måsøval shares priced at NOK 42 per share. The seller has agreed to a 6 months lock-up period in relation to the consideration shares.
The transaction has been approved by the Board of Måsøval, but is subject to approval from competition authorities, due diligence, as well as necessary resolutions passed by the extraordinary general meeting of Måsøval in order to increase the share capital and issue the consideration shares. As such the closing of the transaction is expected to occur by end of Q4 2021.
7.1.2 TRANSACTION RATIONAL AND POTENTIAL
Through establishing a robust production unit in production area 5, Måsøval strengthens its market position and operational diversification. Måsøval increases its license portfolio by 6 fully operational licenses with a total MAB of 4 680 t. Måsøval gains access to 670 t MAB in seawater flowthrough post-smolt facility translating to 0.86 licenses, providing full access to 1 200 t high-quality post-smolt. This will further increase production capacity and optimize flexibility with ability to move capacity between production areas. The expected run rate production of Måsøval in production area 5 is 9 800 t by 2023. In addition the production potential of PO6 is 19,600 t.
| Licenses | MAB | Harvest Cap. | Smolt facilities | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Måsøval is | 2,0 | 1 560 t | 2 900 t HOG | |
| Vartdal gruppen | 4,8 | 3 790 t | 6 900 t HOG | 2 units |
| Total production area 5 capacity | 6,8 | 5 350t | 9 800t HOG | 2 units |
- Downwards adjusted by 6% to 2 932t due to general biological performance in the area
SUBSTANTIAL PRODUCTION CAPACITY: (T HOG)
The current operations of Måsøval in PO6 has a production potential of 19,600 t, and the production potential of Aqua Semi is 6,000 t. This gives a total, firm potential for Måsøval of 35 400 t HOG when capacity is fully utilized.
Måsøval expects to bring the Vartdal Gruppen unit to a run rate production capacity of 6 900t by 2023 and align cost levels to the general performance of Måsøvals current operations. This is achievable through utilizing the improved post-smolt access on the back of Vartdal Gruppens extensive investments into a top modern and proven facility. Moreover, Måsøval will gain improved biological flexibility between production sites across Måsøval as a whole. Furthermore, Måsøval will adapt best practice biological planning and control procedures to Vartdal Gruppens facilities with support from, and integration with, Måsøvals operational team.
7.2.2 POST-SMOLT BENEFITS
In particular, utilization of the post-smolt facilities can unlock substantial capacity going forward. Firstly, stable temperature and oxygen levels give opportunities to predictable growth and optimization of capacity at the land-based production facility. The use of filtrated saline groundwater also acts like a natural biosecurity barrier to sea lice and pathogens, which in turn promotes healthy growth. Moreover, the use of post-smolt gives a higher flexibility in deciding when to transfer the fish to open cages, year round. When the post-smolt is transferred to the open cage, the time at sea can be reduced by 30 %.
Furthermore, as the land based production is disconnected from the sea-based MABsystem, Måsøval can utilize this capacity for the larger fish at sea based locations while the post-smolt remains at the land-based facility.

The Company cannot give assurance to the correctness of such information and statements. These forward-looking information and statements can generally be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. Forward-looking statements sometimes use terminology such as "targets", "believes", "expects", "aims", "assumes", "intends", "plans", "seeks", "will", "may", "anticipates", "would", "could", "continues", "estimate", "milestone" or other words of similar meaning and similar expressions or the negatives thereof.

Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, the Company's actual financial condition or results of operations could differ materially from that or those described herein as anticipated, believed, estimated or expected.
There are a number of factors that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including market prices of farmed Atlantic salmon, trade obstacles towards its export markets, regulatory changes and numerous biological, operational and natural risks related to fish farming operations at sea. For the recent acquisition of the Vartdal Group in production area 5 ("PA 5") there are several specific risks, such as; a dependency on a successful integration and implementation of operating standards and procedures applicable for the Måsøval Group, including most importantly planning and biological control, the ability to maintain key personnel after acquisition, and unknown risk elements in the acquired entities as may not be uncovered in the due diligence or fully coverable under the agreed warranties. The acquired operations are located in PA 5, which is currently subject to a downwards capacity adjustment of 6% due to the general biological risk profile in the area, the timing of a reversal is unknown, and no assurance can be given that such downward adjustment will be reversed, and subject to future biological risk profile, PA 5 can also be downwards adjusted further (an additional 6%).
