Financial results

Operational EBIT for Grieg Seafood was negative NOK 35 million in the second quarter of 2024, compared to NOK 547 million in the corresponding period in 2023. Harvest volume was 15,272 tonnes during the period (22,645), which gives an operational EBIT per kg of NOK -2.3 (24.2).

In Rogaland, harvest volume for the quarter was 2,771 tonnes. This is significantly below the 11,536 tonnes harvested in the second quarter 2023, but according to plan as building of biomass has been a priority for the Rogaland operation during the quarter. Underlying operational performance has been good with the post-smolt strategy contributing to good biology and fish welfare. Operating EBIT/kg ended at NOK 19.9 (36.7).

In Finnmark, harvest volume for the quarter ended at 3,886 tonnes (5,573). Results were impacted by low average harvest weight which carried high costs from prior period's challenges caused by Spiro and string jellyfish. Operational EBIT/kg ended at NOK -3.3 (25.4). Seawater production improved during the quarter and costs are expected to decrease.

Operations in British Columbia were severely impacted by events of low dissolved oxygen (DO) during the quarter, causing increased mortality rates, loss of feeding days and reduced growth. Operational EBIT/kg ended at NOK -4.9 (-2.5) on a harvest volume of 8,615 tonnes (5,537).

According to previously communicated production plans, the Newfoundland operations had no harvest during the second quarter. However, seawater production was good, with solid growth and high survival rates.

Commenting on the quarter, Andreas Kvame, CEO of Grieg Seafood ASA said:

"The second quarter of 2024 was a challenging period for Grieg Seafood and our performance and results reflect continued biological challenges.

In Canada, our operations in British Columbia were impacted by events of extraordinary low dissolved oxygen levels, resulting in significant reduced survival rates. In addition, uncertainty remains in BC, awaiting the Government decision on transition plan for Atlantic salmon aquaculture. In the meantime, Grieg Seafood has suspended all strategic investments in the region.

In Finnmark, harvest volumes remained impacted by the Spiro parasite, combined with biological challenges caused by string jellyfish. However, by the end of July, harvesting of fish previously exposed to Spiro was completed. Furthermore, combined with measures taken to improve fish-health overall, biological performance in the region is improving and costs are expected to decrease. Hence, I believe we are heading towards better times in the Finnmark region.

Earnings and farming cost in Rogaland were impacted by planned low harvest volumes. However, the underlying performance was good. Rogaland was the first region to implement our post-smolt strategy. Since implementation, we have proved that the strategy contributes to good biology and high average weight, underscoring our strong conviction that this is a key element to securing good fish health and welfare.

Looking forward, investments in operational assets and biomass are developing according to plan, I am also pleased to say the construction of our new post-smolt facilities in Rogaland, Finnmark and Newfoundland, in addition to the VAP facility at Gardermoen, are progressing well."

Operational and financial update for Q3 2024

Grieg Seafood BC has experienced challenging environmental conditions so far in Q3 which are still ongoing. Low DO levels in Q2 2024 and following algae bloom have increased mortality, impacting growth into Q3. Combined with a market under pressure in North America, and low average harvest weight, a negative Operational EBIT in Q3 (harvest volume of 3 200 tonnes) in the range of NOK 230-250 million is expected for BC.

Outlook

The global supply of Atlantic salmon in 2024 is expected to slightly increase compared to 2023. With expectations of limited supply growth in 2024, combined with an outlook for continuing strong demand fueled by an increased focus on healthy food and sustainably produced proteins, we expect a sustained robust market.

Estimated contract share for the Norwegian operations is 9% for Q3 2024 and 8% for the full year 2024.

In the third quarter of 2024, expected harvest volume is 16,700 tonnes, distributed as follows:
- Rogaland: 8,500 tonnes
- Finnmark: 5,000 tonnes
- BC: 3,200 tonnes
- NL: 0 tonnes

The company guides for a harvest volume of 78,500 tonnes in 2024, distributed as follows:
- Rogaland: 28,000 tonnes
- Finnmark: 27,000 tonnes
- BC: 12,500 tonnes
- NL: 11,000 tonnes
