Please find enclosed the Q1 report for Måsøval.
This morning Måsøval announced it's Q1 results. In accordance with a trading
update the Group reports a harvest volume of 5 226 GWT, this includes 621 GWT
harvested on co-location agreements. Yielding revenues of mNOK 681.
Financially the quarter was characterized by lower margins compared to Q1
2024. Margins in region Mid fell as a result of lower market prices and
harvest of expensive biomass due to high sea lice pressure in 2H 2024. Margins
in region West was affected by Pasteurellosis at one site while other sites in
the region performed well.
Looking forward our CEO Helge Kvalvik comments "We ended a though quarter with
a weaker financial performance than expected. Looking forward I see lower
expected cost and improved superior share. We are excited to start VAP
production at TL52 from Q2 and in the quarter we were chosen as partner to
Møre and Romsdal County Council to operate an educational licence for 10
years."
