OSLO, Norway, May 23, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --

Highlights in the quarter            

  • Continued production ramp up at Indre Harøy. Batch 5 stocked in February and all-time high biomass production in March.
  • Focus on international expansion plans, both in South Korea and North America.           
  • Indre Harøy phase 2 preparations ongoing – clear signs of normalization in the construction market           
  • Signed agreement with DNB and Nordea for a new green debt financing package totaling NOK 1,550 million relating to phase 1 and 2 at Indre Harøy.           
  • Available liquidity of NOK 454 million per 31 March 2023 including committed undrawn credit facilities.

Subsequent events           

  • Completed takeover of the last two remaining tanks in phase 1 at Indre Harøy on the 17th of April 2023.          
  • Carried out NOK 525 million private placement on 18th April 2023 as part of the Indre Harøy phase 2 financing.           
  • On 29th April 2023 the Company reported that it was experiencing increased mortality in selected fish groups at Indre Harøy. The Company has taken swift and appropriate actions to remedy the situation and the situation is now stabilizing with daily mortality back to normal levels post freshwater treatment.

The increase in biomass production continued in the first quarter with the Group having a net biomass production of around 740 tonnes and all-time high biomass production of around 320 tonnes in March alone. As per 31 March 2023 the Company had a total standing biomass of almost 1,500 tonnes.

Phase 1 of Indre Harøy was finalized in April 2023. With all the 12 tanks completed, this will allow for a streamlining of the production process with both production lines fully operational. The preparatory activities for phase 2 continued in the quarter. The Company has made no contractual commitments but is in advanced negotiations with contractors for phase 2 construction. The plan is to commence construction during the second half of 2023.

Work on the international expansion plans in South Korea through K Smart Farming and in North America continued in the quarter. 90 % design review for the smolt site in South Korea was completed as planned and work on the grow-out site has been intensified. In parallel, the permitting processes continued with important clarifications received with regards to key permits. In North America the Company continues to evaluate identified potential production sites as well as maintaining dialogue with various stakeholders, both public and private.

Summary and outlook

Since initiating operations at the Indre Harøy facility about 14 months ago, the Company has gradually ramped up production and a total of five batches have been stocked. Two smolt releases are scheduled for the second quarter, and three more are planned in the second half of 2023.

The increased mortality reported ultimo April was triggered by AGD, causing problems with gill health and is an important reminder of the biological aspect of the operation. Salmon farming is a complex operation and unexpected things can and will happen, stressing the importance of having a strong and capable organization. The event demonstrated the value of being located in the heart of the aquaculture cluster with solid access to competent people and suppliers and relevant infrastructure.

The Company has taken swift and appropriate actions to remedy the situation, including reduced temperatures and feeding, increased UV dosage on intake water, fast tracking harvest of batch 2 in a historically strong market and completed freshwater treatment of all remaining fish groups.

The freshwater treatment appears to have had a good effect, and the situation is now stabilizing with daily mortality back to normal levels post freshwater treatment. The Company has also recommenced feeding across the farm and is closely monitoring the situation.

Furthermore, the Company has implemented a number of actions to minimize the risk of such event happening in the future. This includes inter alia on-site freshwater production capabilities to be installed over the next couple of weeks, reducing response time to a minimum going forward and also enabling precautionary freshwater treatments, for example in connection with fish transfers.

-We are pleased to see that the decisive actions taken over the last weeks is now stabilizing the situation and enabling the Company to transition back to production modus, says CEO in Salmon Evolution Trond Håkon Schaug-Pettersen.

-The successfully completed freshwater treatment also gives invaluable operational experience that will enhance our capabilities to tackle challenges going forward, says Schaug-Pettersen.

Salmon Evolution continues to see a significant demand growth potential for salmon and the Company believes that land-based farming will need to play an important role alongside conventional farming for the industry to be able utilize the demand potential. With phase 1 at Indre Harøy now completed and having a strong financial platform, Salmon Evolution is in a unique position to continue to lead and shape the development of this industry.
