Selected notes to the quarterly financial statements
Note 1 Summary of significant accounting policies
General information
Salmon Evolution ASA and its subsidiaries, Salmon Evolution Norway AS, Salmon Evolution International AS, Salmon Evolution Dale AS, Salmon Evolution Sales AS and Salmon Evolution Technology AS (the “Company”, "SE" or "the Company") is a Norwegian land-based salmon farmer headquartered in Hustadvika kommune in Møre og Romsdal.
Salmon Evolution operates a hybrid flow-through (HFS) system, utilizing fresh seawater from the Norwegian coast. The Company is building a land-based salmon farming facility at Indre Harøy and is about to complete the phase 2 expansion taking installed capacity to 15,800 tonnes HOG. At the site the Company has highly accretive growth options with a planned annual production of 36,000 tons HOG fully built.
These interim financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on 27 October 2026.
These interim financial statements have not been audited.
Consolidation
These condensed consolidated statements for the period ended 30 September 2026 include Salmon Evolution ASA together with its subsidiaries Salmon Evolution Norway AS, Salmon Evolution International AS, Salmon Evolution Dale AS, Salmon Evolution Sales AS and Salmon Evolution Technology AS.
Basis of preparation
These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim financial reporting". These interim financial statements do not provide the same scope of information as the annual financial statement and should therefore be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS® Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU.
Going concern
The Company has adopted the going concern basis in preparing its consolidated financial statements. When assessing this assumption, management has assessed all available information about the future. After making such assessments, management has a reasonable expectation that the Company has adequate resources to continue its operational existence for the foreseeable future.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except that income tax expense is recognized in each interim period using the expected weighted average annual income tax rate for the full financial year. Taxes on income in the interim periods are accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual profit or loss. The Company does not include net deferred tax benefits in its balance that exceeds the tax effect of group contributions in order to equalize tax payable in its subsidiaries.
Revenue
Revenue from contracts with customers as defined in IFRS 15 is recognised when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the group expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods.
Revenue for the Company derives from sale of whole and processed salmon in the spot market. The Company recognised revenue at the point in time when control of the goods is transferred to the customer at an amount that reflects the expected amount that the group is entitled to have for the goods. The sales price is based on available market price where the price will vary with quality and size.
Normal credit term of the sales transactions is 30 days. If the delivered products have discrepancies compared to the agreed sales contract, cash refunds are given to the customer. Up until now, refunds are not material.
Property, plant & equipment
Property, plant, and equipment is measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and costs include expenditures that are directly attributable to the acquisition and placement of fixed assets in service. Costs of major replacements and renewals that substantially extend the economic life and functionality of fixed asset are capitalized. Costs associated with normal maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Assets are normally considered property, plant, and equipment if the useful economic life exceeds one year. Straight-line depreciation is applied over the useful life of property, plant, and equipment based on the asset’s historical cost. If a substantial part of an asset has an individual and different useful life, that portion is depreciated separately. The asset’s residual value and useful life are evaluated annually. Gains or losses arising from the disposal or retirement of an asset are determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and recognized as part of other income in the accompanying statements of other comprehensive income.
Depreciation is charged to expense when the property, plant or equipment is ready for intended use. For the second phase build out, which is expected to be ready for intended use during 2026, assets under construction is not depreciated.
Biological assets
Biological assets are, in accordance with IAS 41, measured at fair value unless the fair value cannot be measured reliably. For salmon in the grow-out facility, a present value model is applied to estimate the fair value. For roe, fry and smolt, historical cost is deemed to provide the best estimate of fair value, and hence applied.
Cost of production is adjusted for unutilized production capacity. The Company has started to take some costs related to the preparation and testing of phase 2.
For further information, please refer to note 3.
Borrowing costs
In accordance with IAS 23, the Company’s loan agreements are subject to the following principles relating to borrowing costs:
General and specific borrowing costs that are attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized during the period of time that is required to complete and prepare the asset for its intended use or sale. Qualifying assets are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Application of IAS 23 has been taken into consideration where the Group has general borrowings which has partly been financing qualifying assets but not been directly allocated to the construction of a qualifying asset. See note 5 for more information.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred.
Note 2 Segment
The Group has implemented segment reporting which consists of production of farmed salmon in Norway (Farming Norway), other activities (Other), and eliminations. The segment performance is monitored to assess performance and profitability at a strategic level.
Farming Norway consists of Salmon Evolution Norway AS (grow-out facility), Salmon Evolution Dale AS (smolt facility) and Salmon Evolution Sales AS. Additionally a portion of the Group overhead costs is allocated to the segment. Other consists of both revenue and costs not attributable to the farming segment.
Sales revenue from contracts with customers comes from Europe, UK, Asia, US and other markets.

Note 3 Biological assets and inventory
Biological assets are, in accordance with IAS 41, measured at fair value. For salmon in the grow-out facility, a present value model is applied to estimate the fair value. For roe, fry and smolt, historical cost is deemed to provide the best estimate of fair value, and hence applied.
The fair value of fish in the grow-out facility is calculated by multiplying the estimated biomass at the time of harvest with the estimated sales price at the same time and deducted for estimated costs to sell. For fish not ready for harvest, remaining production costs to grow the fish to harvest weight are deducted. The cash flow is further discounted by a discount rate considering both risk adjustment and time value.
The Company considers that fish greater than 4.6 kg is ready for harvest (about 3.8 kg gutted weight), and such fish is thus classified as harvestable fish. Fish that have not achieved this weight are classified as non-harvestable.
In the event of incident-based mortality, all costs allocated to fish affected by incident-based mortality will be deducted from the book value of the inventory.

The estimated biomass volume is based on the actual number of individuals in the grow-out departments on the balance sheet date, adjusted for projected mortality up to harvest time and multiplied with the estimated harvest weight per individual at harvest time.
The estimated sales price for the fish in the grow-out facility is based on forward prices from Sisalmoni with relevant adjustments. The net sales value is adjusted for expected quality differences and harvesting, logistics and sales expenses.
