  • The company achieved a reduction in fish mortality rates, which are now lower than traditional farming methods, indicating improved farming conditions.
  • There has been a systematic improvement in feeding capacity, which is crucial for production capabilities in a RAS (Recirculating Aquaculture System) facility.
  • Atlantic Sapphire ASA (AASZF) has successfully increased its average harvest weights, allowing access to premium pricing and improving filleting yields.
  • The company is implementing a cost-cutting program and system overhauling to enhance efficiency and stability, aiming for profitability in the medium term.
Negative
  • Atlantic Sapphire ASA (AASZF) recorded an impairment write-down of fixed assets amounting to $73 million in 2024, primarily due to increased costs for completing phase two of their project.
  • The company faced low sales prices earlier in the year due to low average harvest weights, impacting revenue.
  • SG&A costs increased year over year, driven by management transitions and higher insurance costs.
