CEO statement

The Group reported a strong growth and improved result for the first quarter of 2019. We generated a top line growth of 16 percent to MSEK 2,458 and our adjusted EBIT increased by MSEK 28 to MSEK 110 compared to the same quarter last year, of which MSEK 9 was attributed to reduced depreciation.

The demand for our products continued to flourish in the first quarter. The exceptionally strong top line growth was partly due to a large contingency order within Ready-to-eat and the consolidation of Rokkedahl Food ApS which was acquired in the third quarter last year. The underlying growth was, however, well above the 7 percent average we have demonstrated over the last five years.

Poultry products are becoming increasingly attractive to consumers due to taste, health attributes, environmental profile and not least a very favourable pricing compared to the alternatives. During the last years we have gained market share in our home markets through the introduction of new innovative products, improved communication of our sustainability work and a strengthened position of our main brands. I am convinced that these drivers will continue to work in our favour and enable us to sustain significant growth over the longer term.

The strongest growth was generated in the Readyto-cook Chilled category (15 percent) and, as mentioned, in the Ready-to-eat category (36 percent). We continue to observe a decline in the less profitable Ready-to-cook Frozen category (-1 percent) and export decreased to below 8 percent of net sales in the first quarter.

As previously known, our margins have been under pressure during the last couple of years due to several of our most significant risk factors providing headwind simultaneously. Coming out of this challenging period, I am proud to report that the overall margin impact was limited to about 1.5 percentage points. This demonstrates our ability to generate stable results through application of a skilled organisation, a robust structural setup, ability to pass through raw material price changes and geographic diversification. Now that we have entered a more favourable environment, I am looking forward to demonstrating the earnings power inherent in our business model.

Scandi Standard is uniquely positioned among our competitors in our home markets. We are geographically well diversified and increasingly reaping the benefits of best practice across the individual markets.

As previously communicated, we have identified several capital projects in Ireland post acquisition aimed at increased efficiency, animal welfare, food safety differentiation and debottlenecking. We have decided to phase in a number of these investments this year. For the group, we expect to invest around MSEK 380 in 2019. During the first half of 2019 we will pay the first tranche for the earn out linked to the Manor Farm acquisition in the amount of MSEK 125.

By the end of the first quarter 2019, our net interestbearing debt was MSEK 2,411 compared to MSEK 2,391 at the end of the first quarter 2018, an increase with MSEK 20. We remain committed to reinvest a large proportion of our cashflow in the business to fuel profitable growth. Over time, increased earnings will enable us to maintain a competitive direct yield to our shareholders whilst allocating sufficient funds to take advantage of our strong growth opportunities. The Board has proposed a dividend of SEK 2.00 per share for 2019 corresponding to MSEK 131.

We are carefully following the structural changes in our sector and believe that we are ideally positioned to take part of the consolidation of the European market. We believe the acquisition of Manor Farm is a good illustration of how we can create value and stability for our shareholders. The acquisition has contributed to further geographic diversification and we are happy with our cross-country teams' ability to deliver benefits through exchanging best practice within the group.

I am pleased with the way the Scandi Standard is currently positioned with a robust business model of sustainably produced, healthy products. Based on the current market outlook, I see good opportunities for incrementally improving returns to the shareholders in the coming periods.

The Group's sustainability work

The sustainability work of the Group has been coordinated under the heading "The Scandi Way" with the work streams People, Chicken and Planet. There will be cases presented in the interim reports showing the work taking place in the Group.

For a comprehensive description of the sustainability work in the group, please see the Scandi Standard Annual Report 2018, which is available at www.scandistandard.com.

We say no to antibiotics!

Increasing bacterial resistance to antibiotics is a serious threat for global human and animal health. The preventive use of antibiotics when raising animals is an important factor, and we are committed to do our part to halt this trend. In Scandi Standard supply chains antibiotics are never used as a preventive measure.

Antibiotic treatment on our contract farms is only done when necessary because of illness. We have set a target to keep the share of treated flocks under one percent and have been able to keep the number below 0,5 percent in the Nordic countries

Risks and uncertainties

the latest years. This is a decent indicator of good animal welfare and husbandry. This can be compared to approximately 40–80 percent treated flocks in some European countries.

Antibiotics policy for the Group

Nordic animal welfare and protection legislation are among the strictest in the world. As our business is becoming more international, we see a greater need and value in clarifying Scandi Standard's own policy and quality requirements for animal husbandry. We have therefore developed an Antibiotics Policy for the whole Group.

The principles are simple: healthy animals don't need antibiotic treatment, but at times animals may need to be treated. Our view is to focus on practices and systems which ensure and enhance the wellbeing of the chickens thereby making and keeping them healthy, so that there is no need for antibiotics.

– Antibiotic resistance is a growing concern in the world. Scandi Standard is a leader in the area of growing chickens without antibiotic treatment. We want to continue

on this path of growing healthy chickens with no need of antibiotics and thereby prevent the proliferation of resistance. I am very proud of our work, says Tommi Saksala, Group Live Operations Director.

Scandi Standards' risks and uncertainties are described on pages 51 – 55 and pages 81 – 84 in the Annual Report 2018, which is available at www.scandistandard.com.

Notes to the condensed consolidated financial information

Note 1. Accounting policies

Scandi Standard applies International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the European Union. This report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 1, Supplementary accounting principles for Group, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board. The Parent Company's accounts have been prepared in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and recommendation RFR 2, Accounting for legal entities, issued by the Swedish Financial Reporting Board.

IFRS 16, Leases, that supersedes IAS 17, Leases, is in effect as of 1 January 2019. It will result in that almost all leases being recognized on the balance sheet, as the distinction between operating and financial leases is removed. For Scandi Standard, this means that rental agreements for production facilities, offices, production equipment and for cars and other vehicles are reported in the statement of financial position, mainly classified as right of use assets and leasing liabilities.

The standard allows for several transition methods, and Scandi Standard has elected to use the full retrospective method where the accumulated effect of the transition is reported in the opening balance for 1 January 2018.

Consequences of the new standard are that the accounting, valuation and presentation of certain amounts in the financial statements are affected. The new accounting principles are disclosed in the Annual report for 2018, Note 31, which also shows the effects of the transition and the restatement of the comparison figures for the quarter and the full year 2018 that are applied in this interim report.

IFRIC 23, Uncertainty over income tax treatments, is in effect as of 1 January 2019. It clarifies the reporting and measurement requirements in accounting for uncertainties in income taxes. The interpretation has had no impact on the financial statements of the Group.

Long-term incentive programs

The Annual General Meeting 2018 decided on a long-term incentive programme (LTIP 2018) for key employees. The programme is intended to contribute to long-term value growth and is of the same type as the outstanding, LTIP 2016 and LTIP 2017. The programmes are equity-settled, share based compensation plans accounted for in accordance with IFRS 2, Share based payments. The programmes are expensed over the vesting period (3 years). At the end of each reporting period, the Group considers changes in the anticipated number of vested shares. Social charges related to the programme are recognized

as a cash-settled instrument. For more information about the Group's long-term incentive programmes, see Note 1 and 5 in the Annual Report 2018.

Sometimes, the total amount in tables and statements do not add up due to rounding differences. The purpose is that each sub-line equals its source of origin and therefore rounding differences may occur.

Note 2. Segment information

Scandi Standard's business is operationally divided into the countries of Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Ireland and Finland.

Internal reporting to Group Management and the Board of Directors corresponds with the Group's operational structure. The division is based on the Group's operations from a geographical perspective.

1) The valuation of the Groups financial assets and liabilities is performed in accordance with the fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1. Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical instruments

Level 2. Data other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly as prices or indirectly as derived from prices.

Level 3. Non-observable data for the asset or liability.

As of 31 March 2019, and at the end of the comparison period the Group had financial derivatives (level 2) and biological assets (level 3) measured at fair value on the balance sheet. The fair value of forward exchange contracts is estimated based on current forward rates at the reporting date, while interest rate swaps are valued using estimates of future discounted cash flows. As of 31 March 2019, the derivatives amounted to MSEK -19 (- 8). The biological assets (parent animals in the rearing of day-old chicks, as well as broilers) are measured in accordance with IAS 41 at fair value less selling costs and as of 31 March 2019 those amounted to MSEK 104 (75). For the Group's long-term borrowing, which as of 31 March 2019 amounted to MSEK 1,984 (1,961), fair value is considered to be equal to the amortized cost as the borrowings are held at floating market rates and hence the booked value will be approximated as the fair value. For other financial instruments, fair value is estimated at cost adjusted for any impairment. Other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities (level 3) refers to the additional purchase price related to the acquisition of Carton Bros ULC. The liability is valued at estimated fair value based on historic and future expected EBITDA.

Note 4. Other liabilities

Other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities for the Group as per 31 March 2019 amounting to MSEK 130 (-) and MSEK 223 (333) respectively refers to the additional purchase price related to performed acquisitions. The current liabilities to Group entities in the Parent Company as per 31 March 2019 amounted to MSEK 125 (12).

Note 5. Alternative KPIs

The Scandi Standard Group uses the below alternative KPIs. The Group believes that the presented alternative KPIs are useful when reading the financial statements in order to understand the Group's ability to generate results before investments, assess the Group's opportunities to dividends and strategic investments and to assess the Group's ability to fulfill its financial obligations.
