Kaldvik AS: Harvest guidance update 2025

In Q3 2024, Kaldvik AS (the "Company") reported a harvest guidance of approximately 15,000 tonnes for 2024 and 25,000 tonnes for 2025. The Company harvested 6,668 tonnes in Q4 and a total of 14,965 tonnes for the financial year 2024.

Due to higher mortality caused by winter-wounds in the 2023 generation and less growth than expected due to temperatures lower than expected and normal for the period, the Company reduces the harvest guidance for 2025 with 3,500 tonnes to 21,500 tonnes.  The 2023 generation is the last generation without both the new winter-wound vaccine developed for Kaldvik AS and the standard ISA vaccine.

Furthermore, in the recent months the Company has experienced higher mortality than expected in connection with the release of smolts to the site Einstigi, which as of 21 January 2025 is estimated to 721,000 smolts. The main reasons identified so far are supersaturation during smolt transportation and temperatures lower than expected for the period.

The Q4 2024 report will be released on 26 February 2025.
