Financial Report – Second Quarter 2021 Oslo, 20. August 2021
«Day by day, I experience that we are getting closer to what, in my opinion, will be a new, sustainable, large and profitable industry for Norway.»

CEO

These are not boring days! At least not in cod farming.
Establishing cod farming as a new industry includes innumerable steps. Individually, they may not be very special or visible. But they all make a difference between no industry and a new industry. Day by day, I experience that we are getting closer to what, in my opinion, will be a new, sustainable, large and profitable industry for Norway.
We have experienced both good and bad days through spring and summer, something we must live with. One of the most important news is that during summer we have implemented our first site on a full scale, and will, as planned, deliver 3,000 tonnes of WFE from Rekvika in Q4 2022.
The loss of 48.000 fish at Stokkeneset in July was a bad experience. It reminds us that everything can happen. That we were able to cope with it, and at the same time have become more experienced is good to know. Shortly after clean-up, we were able to resume normal operations, and the fish both eat well and thrive. We expect that by Q3, together with the insurance company, the financial losses will be calculated and settled. Our assessment is that the incident will have no significance for either the execution of plans or the timeline for financing the company's operations.
For the time being, it seems that the biggest impact of the corona pandemic on Statt Torsk is increased delivery time and higher prices for materials and equipment. In particular, equipment for new sites has given us challenges and we have placed orders earlier than expected at "yesterday`s prices". At the same time food prices are rising. Whether this will have an impact on our sales prices this year, is however not possible to say yet. Without the existence of a separate market for farmed cod, I do not know if it has changed, but we can assume that it is similar to other farming.
With the experiences we have made so far in 2021, there is no change in either goals or our schedule for sites and operations. We will deliver as planned.
Over the summer, we have recruited a number of excellent new employees, both at sites and in office. In the management, we have significantly increased our expertise in Fish Health, Sustainability and Health, Safety and Environment. We have a very motivated organization that works towards common goals. A fantastic team!
I am looking forward to the coming period with great excitement and will keep you duly informed.
Happy autumn to all!

cod fisheries may result in a different perception of quality of Norwegian wild cod. offered. At the same time the quotas for wild cod will be significantly reduced in the coming years. This indicates that the potential for farmed cod will be significant.
• We have not made any sales agreements yet, but are in good business discussions with buyers both abroad and in Norway.
• We are continuously working on expanding our production capacity with new production locations. We have currently applied for 1 additional location, 2 are ready and will be submitted this fall, in addition to expansion of Stokkeneset. We are ahead of the company's expansion plans.
• We have a strong focus on sustainability and will monitor and report on important KPI´s such as feed conversation ratio, CO2 emission, mortality rate and other measurable impact on environment, starting from Q1 2022. We have staffed up the organization in this respect; developing tools and routines.
