Averøy, Norway, 16.10.2024
Nordic Halibut AS ("NOHAL" or "the Company") has observed a continuation of the
upward trend in sales prices in Q3 2024. The increase was consistent across size
categories compared to the same quarter last year and demonstrates the strong
demand for halibut and willingness to pay for quality farmed halibut. In Q3
2024, the company achieved an average sales price of 163 NOK/kg HOG,
representing an 11% increase YoY.
The Company also experienced an increase in harvest weights, averaging 4.8 kg
HOG, compared to Q3 2023's average harvest weight of 4.3 kg HOG. Nordic Halibut
is still prioritizing harvest of smaller individuals to optimize the size
distribution of the outstanding biomass with the ambition to increase average
harvest weight over time, which is expected to lead to further improvements in
price achievement. Total revenue for Q3 2024 amounted to NOK 17 million, with
harvest volumes
reaching 107 tonnes HOG.
The strategy to harvest smaller individuals to prioritize the growth and
flexibility of the biomass at sea is yielding strong results. This is
demonstrated by a 14% biomass growth during the quarter, net of harvest compared
to Q2 2024. Including the harvested amount this represents total production at
sea of 21% of outstanding biomass during the quarter.
This focus aligns with the commercial strategy aimed at increasing harvest
weights in future periods to respond to market signals. The overarching
objective remains to optimize the utilization of available biomass, even if it
entails potential impacts on short-term harvest volumes.
