SalMar - Low volume in Q1 25, but good growth in the sea paves the way for increased volume for the rest of the year
The first quarter was characterized by a low harvest volume where majority of the volume was harvested late in the quarter. The focus in the quarter has been to build biomass so that increased volume is facilitated later in 2025.Operational EBIT for Norway was NOK 852 million in the first quarter of 2025. The harvest volume was 40,400 tonnes and operational EBIT per kg was NOK 21.1. Operational EBIT for the Group was NOK 798 million in the first quarter of 2025. The harvest volume was 42,700 ton
