Andfjord Salmon Group AS: Solid progress at Kvalnes build-out | Third quarter 2024 financial results

Progress remains strong at Andfjord Salmon Group AS' (Andfjord Salmon) build-out
at Kvalnes, Andøya, Norway. All workstreams are on or ahead of schedule, and the
waterways are close to completion.
A total of 4.4 kilometres of tunnel infrastructure is being developed at
Kvalnes, including inlet waterway, tunnel infrastructure below each pool, and
outlet waterway. Only 20 metres of the outlet waterway and approximately 450
metres of the inlet waterway are left to be completed.
The waterways workstream also includes tunnel infrastructure below the excavated
pool pits. The completed infrastructure includes eight vertical inlet shafts
that will supply all the pools with fresh seawater, and six vertical outlet
points - with adjacent pools sharing the same outlet. The horizontal sections
from the pools to the outlet tunnel have also been completed. With so much work
already finished, the number of machines and equipment being used for tunnel
production has been scaled down.
The waterways workstream has reached 90 percent completion as of 27 November
2024.
"Although our key focus is now on the first four pools, it is worth reminding
our shareholders that the inlet and outlet waterways, which are close to
completion, are designed to support a future production of 40,000 tonnes of
salmon at Kvalnes. Although this has required a sizeable upfront investment, it
will make the subsequent build-out stages much less costly and with
substantially lower risk," says Martin Rasmussen, CEO of Andfjord Salmon.
In this stage of the Kvalnes build-out, Andfjord Salmon is completing four new
pools, increasing total production capacity to 8,000 tonnes HOG by 2025, and
developing a new harbour area.
The pool construction workstream is also progressing well. Columns, supports and
preparations for wall elements have been completed for pool K1 and is in
progress for K3. The workstream is currently at 51 percent completion.
The harbour area workstream has reached 61 percent completion, on schedule.
Large boulders are currently being put in place as foundation for the breakwater
that will protect the harbour against strong winds and waves. Excavated masses
from the waterways and pool pit will later be utilized to complete the
breakwater, as part of Andfjord Salmon's mass balance approach for the
build-out.
"I am very pleased with the progress we are making. The high level of activity
in the pool pit is impressive, with notable progress being made every single
day. I look forward to reporting on the progress we are making during the coming
months," adds Martin Rasmussen.
THIRD QUARTER 2024 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Andfjord Salmon is currently expanding its Kvalnes facility and had no salmon
production and therefore close to zero revenue in this year's third quarter (Q3
2023: NOK 27.7 million). The company reported a loss of NOK 15.3 million in this
year's third quarter, compared to a loss of NOK 28.3 million in the
corresponding period last year.
