Of the financial results for Bakkafrost in the Q1 of 2022... 2023. My name is Høgni Jakobsen, CFO of Bakkafrost, and I'll be presenting this morning together with Regin Jacobsen, our CEO. We have prepared a short agenda as usual, starting with a short summary of the quarter, following up by a glimpse at the market and sales in the quarter. Then we take a closer look at the financials for the group. Then Regin will take over and give us a deeper look into the segment performance, before closing off with a glimpse of the outlook. Some highlights. This quarter we have had all-time high revenues of 2 billion, more than 2 billion DKK. It is our second highest quarter in terms of operational EBIT. We made an EBIT of DKK 565 million in this quarter. In the Faroes, we have had quite low volumes, harvest volumes, eighteen, 11,000 tons compared to 7,500 tons in the Q1 last year. That, of course, has affected the results in the Faroes. In Scotland, on the other hand, we have doubled the harvest volumes to more than 8,000 tons in the quarter. Feed sales have been slightly lower, 22,287 tons compared to more than 26,000 tons in the same quarter last year. Raw material intake has more than doubled, we have had more than 156,000 ton of marine raw material intake in this, in this quarter. All our segments have had positive margins. We had positive cash flow from operations of DKK 573 million. On the AGM, that was on 28th of February, it was decided to pay out a dividend of DKK 10 per share, that will be paid out around the 22nd of May. Market have been good in terms of price in this quarter. We have had all-time high prices, especially in the H2 of the quarter. The H1 was significantly weaker, but on average NOK 104.83 per kilo, which is an increase of 31% year-on-year and 42% compared to the Q4. The weak Norwegian kroner has helped on on the salmon price, to increase the salmon price, but even measured in EUR, we have a price increase of around 16%. Last year, at this time of the year, the contract share was very high in the industry, which in combination with shortage of supply increased prices significantly. In this quarter, we have not had the same level of contract share for the industry. It has been much, much lower. If we look at the market, at the flows to the different markets, according to the latest data from Kontali, global sales to all markets were down by 4.9% in this quarter. EU was down 11%, and the retail market in EU has been softer than previously. Russia is down 5% due to sanctions. Russia is primarily supplied from Chile, but also from own production. China has come back after COVID and are now at levels close to or around the peak levels in 2019. Had a 25% increase in this quarter. Volumes to the U.S. have been stable, especially strong in the beginning of the quarter, January and February, and weaker in March, and helped by a relatively strong U.S. dollar. The sales to Japan dropped 21%. The problem there is high air freight costs. If we look at global harvest, it dropped by 4.1% in the quarter. Taking into account inventory movements, the drop was 4.9%. European harvest is down 6%. 7% reduction in Norway, where we also saw a 5% reduction in average harvest weights. In the Faroes, harvest dropped 18%, 22% drop in Iceland. In these areas, Faroes and Iceland, we also had slightly lower harvest weights than in the same quarter last year. In UK, harvest increased by 15.5%. In the Americas as a whole, harvest was down 1%. 28% reduction in Canada, especially on the West Coast and the phasing out of the Discovery Island is playing a role in this regard. Chile had good biological performance in this quarter. Harvest was up 3.3%. 1% higher average weights on harvest, averaging out around 4.37. However, a drop in March to 4.2, where the volumes also increased in Chile. If we look across the regions, Norway, Chile, Faroes, and Iceland, there were strong feed sales in the quarter. Feed sales were up around 8%-11% in these regions, whereas in Scotland, we had a reduction in feed sales. If we then move into the group profit and loss, our revenue had an increase of 25% to just in excess of DKK 2 billion, and operational EBIT increased by 35% to DKK 565 million. Revenue tax was down in the Faroes from DKK 58 million in the Q1 last year to DKK 38 million in this quarter. That is linked to the lower harvest volumes in the Faroes. Fair value adjustments down from DKK 177 million to DKK 54 million due to a change in the profile of the biomass, production cost, and forward prices. Profit after tax was DKK 467 million in this quarter. As mentioned, all our segments had positive margins. We had an increase in the Faroes from 36.03 to 42.14 NOK. Scotland had a significantly higher increase by almost 46 NOK and came out positive with a margin of 28.30 23 NOK in the quarter, which is the best ever in Scotland. Our VAP segment was also positive, had positive margins in despite of having relatively high raw material prices in the quarter and came out with a EBIT margin of 1.95%. The EBITDA margin in the FOF segment dropped from 19.6% to 17.6%. As mentioned, best second-best operational EBIT in the quarter was only surpassed or beaten by the results that we had in the Q2 last year. If we look at adjusted earnings per share, this is our highest ever at DKK 7.19 per share. Looking at the balance sheet, there are smaller changes to the balance sheet this quarter. Cash and cash equivalents reduced DKK 150 million to DKK 570 million. Equity increased by DKK 488 million to DKK 10.9 billion. Our equity ratio increased by 2% from 62% to 64% in the quarter. Cash flow from operations improved by DKK 421 million, amounted to DKK 573 million in the quarter. As we usually have a lot of ongoing investments, of course, that's also the case in this, in this quarter. Cash flow from investments was minus DKK 203 million, and we had capital commitments of DKK 812 million by the end of the Q1. Primarily the expansion of our feed capacity at Havsbrún, but also the ongoing expansions of our hatcheries in Scotland at Applecross and a cargo plane is also on our commitments this quarter. Cash flow from financing was minus DKK 590 million, and cash at the end of the period was DKK 570 million. Our net interest-bearing debt has decreased by DKK 307 million in the quarter and was DKK 2.4 billion at the end of the quarter. Our bank facilities are unchanged. We still have EUR 700 million and EUR 150 million accordion option available. Undrawn credit facilities amounted to just short of DKK 2.9 billion. A short ESG update. We have recently released our sixth Healthy Living Sustainability Report. I also introduced an ESG index to make it easier for everyone to find all the facts and numbers. Alongside, for those who don't want to read the thick volume, we also have a shorter summary report, which is available on our website. In regards to TCFD, we have also made some progress in this quarter. We have been working for a number of years now to align and get consistency with the TCFD reporting recommendations. One of the last steps was to perform the climate-related scenario analysis, and that has been done. Is also documented now in our sustainability report. Finally, on SBTI, we submitted our targets last June, in this quarter, the validation process has started with the SBTI. Hopefully we can conclude that process shortly. I will hand it over to Regin Jacobsen, who will go through the segments. Good morning, everyone. Let me go through the segments. First, the farming segment. The volumes in the Faroes dropped 37% from 17.5 to 11,000 tons. The harvest weight dropped 7% from 4.8 to 4.4 kilos in this quarter. Half of all the volumes in Faroes was actually harvested in January. The breakdown from the Faroes was 37% from the north, 35% from the west, and 28% from the south area. The small transfer in Faroes was 2.1 million smolt, and size was 20% up from 353 grams last year to 424 this year. In Scotland, the harvest was 5.3 versus 3.7 last year. Sorry, it was 8,000 tons this year versus 3,900 last year, doubled. The harvest weight was 45% up, 5.3 versus 3.7 last year. All areas in Scotland were consistent from 4.8 to 5.5 kilos on average. Good development in all areas in Scotland in this quarter. The small transfer in Scotland was also in the right direction. The size was 111 grams versus 102 grams, 1.7 million versus 2.3 last year. The new hatchery in Applecross will gradually start operation over the summer, however, slightly delayed around 2 months. The AP4 will be started up in two phases. One phase will start up now in May, and one phase will start up in August. We believe that shorter marine cycles in Scotland will also be a game-changing difference versus today's operation. The operational EBIT from the farming division in Faroes was DKK 314 million versus DKK 471 million last year. The margin dropped to 29% versus 39% last year. In Scotland, the operational EBIT was DKK 155 million versus minus DKK 53 million in the Q1 last year. Through this quarter and so far this year, we have maintained strong operations in Scotland with premium quality salmon, our One Company strategy has materialized, and our sales and branding have created extra value. Our customers have recognized the high quality of the fish, whether it's farmed in Scotland or in Faroes. On the cost side, I just mentioned some numbers. We have seen over the last years that there is an increase in cost, especially with larger smolts. In the old days, a smolt used to be around 3 DKK per kilo. Now, smolt cost is for 2023 so far, it is 5.73. It is, it's up. We expect in the future that larger smolt cost because the fish is longer on shore will gradually be reducing the cost in the marine phase as shorter cycles will be less costly. However, we also see an impact of the feed inflation of raw materials, which has over especially the last 12 months had an impact. So far this year, the feed cost is around 3 DKK higher on per kilo of fish compared with last year. There is an impact both on smolt and on feed. If you look at the Faroes again, we had expected a lower volume in the H1 of 2023 due to the transfer of smolt, one and a half years ago. We have much lower in the H1 of the year and higher in the H2 of the year. The biological performance in Faroes have performed good, strong growth rates, low mortalities and good feed conversion ratio has been exceptionally strong also in this quarter. We had lower average weight in the quarter, and this is due to the very strong focus on low mortality, so we have prioritized some harvest early in the quarter versus treatments. With the new Bakkafrost, we have good capabilities to have good fish welfare also with treatments. In Scotland, we saw early signs of improvements in the Q4 last year, where application of best practices have significantly improved the operations. Through this quarter and so far, also in the Q2, we have maintained strong operations in Scotland. Our customers have recognized the high quality of fish and also of course the large size of fish have enabled us to access good value. This is an overview of the development in the Faroe Islands, where we see the growth rate all-time good growth rate in the Faroes, also all-time low feed conversion ratio in the Faroes. On the survival area, we also see that it is all-time high, which is of course very important. Sea lice numbers are all-time low, and with our capabilities with Bakkafrost, with the dual treatment system on freshwater, we will have even more sustainable solutions in our toolbox to combat sea lice with a high fish welfare. The average smolt size has increased in Scotland. Now we are back in Scotland, and we expect that the start-up of Applecross during the summer will give us a further increase during the H2 of this year. However, the full start-up of Applecross will be during the next 12 months, so therefore this will be a gradual improvement. As said, the start-up is delayed 2 months. We had expected the fish to be in the system a month ago or 2. The first fish will go in around the 20s, 20th of May, sometime next week. Hopefully we can see some fish when we will come there on our Capital Markets Day in a few weeks. The average weight is the biggest change, as you see on this graph, where the harvest in this quarter has been driven by good growth and healthy fish and not as many earlier quarters biologically driven. The strategy is to hold fish for growth while health is good and mortality is low, which gives us much better value. We also see in Scotland that the farming KPIs have improved with good TGC, good growth and also better feed conversion than last year. Still somewhere to go or some improvements to achieve, but things goes in the right direction. Also, on the mortality, we see reduced mortality, which is the biggest change and most important change in Scotland. The mortality for Bakkafrost versus the industry is significantly lower in this quarter compared with last years. We actually have the lowest mortality the last 4 years in our operation in Scotland. This overview shows the mortality ratio. The sea lice control is excellent now with the addition of dual freshwater systems last year, which works very, very well. Lowest Q1 mortality, as said, the recent 4-5 years. Now good capacity to handle gill health and general health, which has improved our KPIs over the last 6 months, and good growth and low mortality and with good feed conversion ratio. Moving to the VAP segment. The value-added products have performed well in this quarter with positive margins despite high salmon prices. For many years, Bakkafrost has had the strategy to use around 40% of the harvest volume for value-added products in the VAP segment. We started this operation in the mid-nineties, around 30 years ago, and it has been a good strategy and has been good for us over these years. This strategy, however, will be revised depending on the outcome of the Faroese government's proposal to adjust the revenue tax, which probably will be concluded within the next few weeks. This also applies to our announced 5 years investment plan, which will be revised depending on this outcome and hopefully can be communicated on our Capital Markets Day in a few weeks. The numbers for our VAP segment in the Q1 are actually around DKK 80 million improved compared with the Q1 last year. If you look at the 5,000 tons that we have produced in the quarter and look at the increased value compared with the increased raw material prices, we have actually increased the value DKK 80 million. That is the strongest change from one quarter ever in this area. We had to admire the market change over this difficult period that it has been possible to increase the prices this much and that the demand is still very high. Moving to the FOF segment, fish meal, oil, and feed. The EBITA increased 47% from DKK 86 million last year to DKK 126 million this year. The EBITA margin was 18% versus 20% last year. The external fish meal sold increased 41% from 9,797 tons Q1 last year to 13,775 tons this year. Total feed sales, however, dropped 15% from 26,000 to 22,300 tons. The raw material sourcing has been the key for the good development, where we saw a doubling of our sourcing of raw materials. Actually, to date, we have sourced 235,000 tons, so the good trend has continued into the Q2. If you look at the market development, it is quite interesting to see that, as you see the red graph compared with the Q1s, earlier years, this is the strongest Q1 for our feed segment ever. This is in a time where as you see on the graph below, the dotted lines, the blue dotted line is the marine oil. The green dotted line is... Rapeseed. Rapeseed. Rapeseed. Yeah. which is, Vege-vegetables. Vegetables. Yeah. Vegetable sources compared with marine sources, huh? We see that the prices are going different directions. We know that Bakkafrost competitive advantage is actually in the availability of marine raw materials. This is a very interesting development where our sourcing and availability in Bakkafrost is quite good in a difficult time where marine oils are scarce. Going to the outlook. We, as Høgni mentioned, we expect a low single-digit global growth in 2023 on the supply side. However, 23 is as 22, us 22, a year of two halves. The H1 of the year where there is negative supply growth, and the H2 of the year where there is low one-digit number supply growth. growth is driven from Americas in this Q4, especially. In Europe, it is quite stable, quite flat, which also has an impact. But we see also the dotted line indicates that the supply growth has been taken a bit down from last quarter. We expect a tight market over the next couple of months and also generally over the next few years. Of our own operation, we expect 98,000 tons to be harvested this year, 68,000 from Faroes and 30,000 from Scotland. We expect that the market in generally will be tight, and that the low supply will have still a strong price development for salmon We have lower contracts here. As said before, depending on the result from the government tax proposal in parliament in Faroes, we will have to revise our strategy both on contracts and on investments. On feed sales, we expect around 130,000 tons of feed this year. Fish meal and oil, as said, the volume has been strong so far. We expect at least to achieve the same sourcing as last year. Now we look forward to welcome you to our Capital Markets Day in Scotland on the 6th of June, where we'll talk more about these numbers and these investment plans for the next 5 years, for the period from 2024 to 2028. How we can develop the company further. I think we will have a good message there, and I believe that we have a great company and no matter what, we will have a good message in Scotland. Thank you very much. If there are any questions, please feel free. Christian Nordby, Kepler Cheuvreux. You have 12% lower biomass year-on-year. Can you give some indications on the split between Faroes and Scotland and how that has for implications for harvest profile for this year? As correctly as you have realized that we have lower biomass, and that is also affecting the share between the H1 of the year and the H2 of the year. We have higher harvest especially in Faroe Islands in the H2 of the year, whereas Scotland is more even for the first and the H2 of the year. That is the main takeaway from that probably 60%-65% of the harvest this year, unfortunately in Faroes is for H2 of the year. Martin Kaland, ABG Sundal Collier. You show that the KPIs in Faroe Islands looks very good, except from that harvest weights are somewhat lower. Do you expect that to increase into the Q2, or do we have to wait until the H2 and also volumes start to increase in total? We will be a bit soft on average weight also in the Q2 because We started very aggressively in January with harvesting this some fish. Unfortunately when you come out into the cold period with smaller fish, we need to harvest every week and it takes some time to get the size back, especially in this period where we had we're a bit lower on volumes. We will stay at the lower average weights around 4.5 kilos also in the Q2. In the Q3 onwards we will be stronger again, also with good capabilities with the new JUEL freshwater treatment system. Also, if you have a comment on the harvest weight for Scotland, did you comment that it will, was expected to then stay strong into the Q2 and then it's more uncertain on the H2, I guess? Yeah. Of course, we are now much better prepared in Scotland for the biology. I guess that we should expect some more soft operation in the Q3 especially where we normally see more challenges in the environment. We are better prepared and we of course hope that we will manage good. We still have not the large smolt where we can only have them one summer in the sea. It will take 1 or 2 years more before we are really good positioned. The Q1 and so far in the Q2 is apparently making a big difference where we are now compared with earlier years. We hope for the best also for the Q3. I think you shall expect somewhat more soft operation. Thank you. Good. If nothing else, then thank you very much.
