The world’s largest salmon farmer says operational earnings before interests and taxes (EBIT) rose 28 percent, to NOK 759 million (€92.9 million/$129.7 million), thanks to high salmon prices, which helped offset lover harvesting volumes of 64,032 metric tons, down from 79,554 metric tons a year ago.
Operating revenue stayed almost flat compared to last year, at NOK 3.6 billion (€441.9 million/$616.9 million), while earnings per share improved only very slightly to NOK 0.19 (€0.02/$0.03) per share.
Welcoming the results, the board decided to issue an extraordinary dividend of NOK 0.05
