Salmon Evolution ASA (OSE: SALME) generated 51.3 NOKm in revenues in the third quarter which translated into a group EBITDA of -7.3 NOKm and a Farming EBITDA of 2.2 NOKm. The company continues to see stable operations and strong biological KPIs.
During the quarter Salmon Evolution used available flexibility to push harvest volumes into the fourth quarter to maximize price realization on back of higher expected prices, and is on track to meet its 5,000 tonnes HOG harvest volume guidance for 2024 with a standing biomass near record levels at the end of the quarter.
“We have used the third quarter well, restocking Indre Harøy and ensuring that we are in a strong position going into 2025, where we expect to increase production by about 40%”, CEO of Salmon Evolution, Trond Håkon Schaug-Pettersen said. “Given our continued stable operations and strong operational KPIs, we have the answers we need and are very confident going into 2025”.
Following the final investment decision in June, activity in the phase 2 expansion project ramped up significantly during the quarter. The realization of phase 2 will ensure critical scale, taking total output to 18,000 tonnes HOG and facilitating a substantial organic growth capacity for the years to come.
“The project is on track for first harvest during 2026, and we have gotten off to a very good start at the building site.” Schaug-Pettersen said. “With phase 2 online we will have an operational strength few in the industry can rival”.
