Record-high volumes for Mowi in Q3
Mowi reported revenues of EUR 1.39 billion and an operational EBIT of EUR 112 million in the third quarter.
In a quarter marked by low salmon prices due to high supply growth, Mowi delivered a solid result on record-high volumes.
“Despite the quarter’s challenging prices it is pleasing to see that we continue to deliver well on both operations and growth. We have never produced more salmon than we did this quarter and we have never had more fish in the sea at this time of year. All of which positions us well for further growth,” said Mowi CEO Ivan Vindheim.
Mowi harvested a record-high 166,000 tonnes in the third quarter and is raising its volume guidance for 2025 once again, this time from 545,000 tonnes to 554,000 tonnes, mainly as a result of consolidating Nova Sea from the fourth quarter. This corresponds to a growth of 10.5% from 2024. Furthermore, Mowi expects to harvest 605,000 tonnes in 2026, up 9.2% from the current year. Of this, 380,000 tonnes will be harvested in Norway.
In just a few years, Mowi has grown from a 400,000-tonne farmer to a 600,000-tonne farmer, while simultaneously developing into one of the most profitable aquaculture companies through a strong focus on costs and operations.
“It is positive to see that we have reduced our farming costs by a full EUR 50 million in the third quarter this year compared with the same quarter last year, and by EUR 126 million in the year to date. Furthermore, our standing biomass cost continues to develop positively on lower feed prices and other cost measures, which bodes well for next year’s realised production costs,” said Vindheim.
Mowi Consumer Products, the group’s processing business, delivered its best quarter ever with very good operations, record-high volumes, and lower raw material prices.
“Results in Mowi Consumer Products have improved significantly in recent years, not only due to better underlying operations, but also because Mowi benefits from being a fully integrated seafood company. Additionally, in the downstream segment, we can buy cheaper raw materials and exploit market opportunities in periods of falling salmon prices, as in 2025,” said Vindheim.
Mowi’s feed division, Mowi Feed, also delivered a strong quarter with record-high earnings and its second-highest sales volumes ever.
2025 has been a year with abnormally high supply growth coming in the wake of several years of challenging biology for the industry. Supply growth is now normalised and is expected to be around 1% next year. This, combined with good market prospects, means Mowi expects a tighter market balance going forward.
The board of Mowi has decided to pay a quarterly dividend of NOK 1.50 per share.
