Grieg Seafood ASA: Q4 2023 trading update
Grieg Seafoods harvest volume for the fourth quarter of 2023 was approximately 21 800 tonnes GWT.
Harvest volume (tonnes GWT) by region for the quarter:
Rogaland: 2 200
Finnmark: 10 400
British Columbia: 6 000
Newfoundland: 3 200
Average regional farming costs per kg for the quarter were approximately:
Rogaland: NOK 67.2
Finnmark: NOK 64.7
British Columbia: CAD 11.0
Newfoundland: CAD 12.2
The harvested volume and farming cost in Finnmark were impacted by Spironucleus Salmonicida, winter ulcers, and string jellyfish. In Rogaland, low harvest volume influenced farming cost. In Newfoundland, parts of the 2023 planned harvest volume have been deferred to 2024 due to challenging weather conditions and market expectations. As Newfoundland is still in a development phase, the region has, in addition to the farming cost, cost allocated directly to the income statement at the same level as last quarter.
The complete Q4 2023 report will be released on Thursday 22 February 2024 at 06:00 CET.
