Additional information

Operational EBIT for the Group was approximately NOK 850 million in Q4 2015 (NOK
1,032 million in Q4 2014). Start-up costs at the Rosyth processing plant in
Scotland have been higher than previously expected and have as such impacted
results negatively by approximately NOK 70 million in Q4 2015. This effect is
included in the figures below for Scotland.

Total operational EBIT per kg through the value chain were approximately as
follows for the main sources of origin:

* Norway NOK 12.1

* Scotland  NOK  -0.9

* Canada NOK 3.3

* Chile NOK -12.3


Reported net interest bearing debt (NIBD) was approximately NOK 9.6 billion at
the end of the quarter.

A separate press release will be disclosed later today regarding a restructuring
plan of Marine Harvest Scotland Farming. Following a recent review of the
business up to 100 jobs will be reduced to make the business more efficient and
sustainable. Harvesting volumes for 2016 will not be impacted by the
restructuring plan.

The complete Q4 2015 report will be released on 17 February at 06:30 CET.
