Salmon Evolution ASA: Record biomass production

13 May 2025 06:30 CEST

Salmon Evolution ASA (OSE: SALME) generated 49.7 NOKm in revenues in the first
quarter after harvesting of 581 tonnes HOG including post smolt, with a group
EBITDA of -4.1 NOKm and a Farming EBITDA of 5.7 NOKm.

Salmon Evolution set a new production record during the quarter and increased
the standing biomass from the preceding quarter by 45 % to 2,939 tonnes LW,
reaching targeted run-rate levels.

"Achieving our targeted run-rate biomass is essential for unlocking the full
potential at Indre Harøy," CEO of Salmon Evolution, Trond Håkon
Schaug-Pettersen said. "With this in place, alongside strong biological
performance, we are well-positioned to continue to scale up both production
volumes, harvest and harvest weights moving forward."

During the quarter progress in the phase 2 expansion project at Indre Harøy
remained strong, and the project is on track for targeted first smolt release
in Q1-26 and first harvest in Q4-26.

"We maintained strong momentum at the construction site throughout the quarter
and successfully achieved all key milestones," said Schaug-Pettersen. "With
Phase 2 we are creating a unique operational platform and preparations for the
first smolt release in about 10 months are already well underway."

Highlights in the quarter:

* New production record with net biomass growth of 1,624 tonnes LW, up 7 %
from Q4 2024.
* Ending Q1 2025 with a new all-time high standing biomass of 2,939 tonnes LW,
a 45% increase from Q4 2024, reaching targeted run-rate levels in both
volume and number of individuals, a prerequisite for taking out the full
growth potential.
* Revenues of 49.7 NOKm after harvesting 581 tonnes HOG including post smolt,
group EBITDA of -4.1 NOKm and farming EBITDA of 5.7 NOKm.
* Indre Harøy phase 2 construction well underway -- on track for first smolt
release in Q1-26 as planned.
* 418 NOKm in available liquidity including committed undrawn credit
facilities at the end of the quarter. Additionally, the Company has 1,450
NOKm in earmarked construction financing.
