Bodø, Norway, 18 May 2026

The Company has over time communicated biological challenges related to the 2025
generation.
The Company refers to its previously communicated target of 10,600 tonnes
harvest volume for 2027 and expected EBIT cost of NOK 58/kg HOG.
Based on the current status of the 2025 generation, the Company now expects
total harvest volumes in 2027 to be in the range of 8,000-8,500 tonnes. In
addition, the Company now expects EBIT cost for 2027 to be approximately NOK
60-65/kg HOG.
The revised expectations are primarily driven by higher-than-anticipated
mortality in the 2025 generation. A contributing factor to the elevated
mortality is that approximately 1.0 million fish were stocked as late as
November 2024, which has led to significant challenges related to winter ulcers.
The elevated mortality has reduced the biomass available for harvest in 2027 and
negatively impacted cost efficiency.
The elevated mortality represents a permanent loss of biomass and is the primary
driver behind the reduced harvest volume expectations for 2027.
The Company has implemented operational and biological measures aimed at
improving performance in subsequent generations and continues to closely monitor
the development.
The lower harvest volume and higher cost level are expected to have a negative
impact on the Company's financial performance in 2027 compared to previous
expectations. The estimates remain subject to biological development and normal
operational uncertainty. The Company will provide further updates as visibility
improves.
