  • Kaldvik AS (FRA:4YYA) achieved strong revenue growth, with revenues increasing to approximately EUR48 million, up from EUR31 million in the same quarter last year.
  • The company maintained a healthy EBIT per kilo of EUR1.54, supported by solid operational performance and price achievements.
  • Kaldvik AS successfully launched a new grow-out facility in Land North, Rifos, which became operational in the first quarter, enhancing production capabilities.
  • The acquisition of a box factory is expected to provide approximately EUR3 million in annual cost savings, directly increasing margins and improving profitability.

Negative
  • The company faced production challenges, including a lower share of superior grade products, impacting overall product quality.

  • The book value of biological assets decreased by approximately EUR20 million, reflecting reduced fair value and low biological growth.
