Farming costs

Increase in H1; improvement expected in H2

Total farming costs Energy costs 1

  • Feed costs decreasing in line with declining fish meal and fish oil prices

FCR above target due to growth limiting measures in H2 '24 and Q1 '25 resulting in underperforming batches

1Farming costs include feed, energy, labor and maintenance costs, but excludes depreciation

Profitability

Path to profitability intact as scale improves

Gross margin has been affected by lower market prices and elevated farming costs

Cost structure is evenly split between fixed and variable costs (50/50)

Reduced SG&A expenses by 6% in absolute terms and 33% per kg sold

Scaling up to full production capacity significantly reduces cost per kg by spreading fixed costs over a larger volume

  • Scaling benefit directly enhances EBITDA margin per kg, improving overall profitability
  • EBITDA improvement expected in H2 from:
  • Higher volumes & price increases
  • Continued cost discipline
  • Better biological performance

Cash flow and working capital

Cash generation remains a key priority alongside profitability

  • Operating cash flow €-3.6M; farm capex €-0.9M; financing cash flow €11.3M:
  • €14M equity raise
  • Q1 PCP loan interest capitalized
  • Q2 PCP loan interest €1.7M cash payment
  • Capex kept at minimal level in H1
  • Working capital increased mainly due to:
  • Higher receivables (+€0.9M) from increased sales
  • Inventory and biomass down €1M
  • Payables down €0.6M

Management agenda 2025

Fundamentals showing continuous improvement

We expect results in H2 2025 to benefit from:

  • Strong sales momentum
  • Brand and product recognition
  • Price recovery
  • Biological and cost improvements
