Vessels 12 (Image: Akva product manual) Financing fish farming • Phase 1: a single generation (G1) of salmon are growing, cost base develops slowly. • Phase 2: next generation of fish (G2) must begin while the cost base of maintaining G1 is accelerating. • Phase 3: third generation is started, cost base accelerates further; at end phase 3 G1 is harvested and revenue realised. • In this scenario, production is increased linearly. In steady state, the green line will be horizontal when Phase three is reached. • Phases 1-4 = X-axis • Fish farming is very capital intensive. • G1-3 = Generations 1-3 (dashed orange) • Vertical lines represent harvest of generation • Green line = operating capital 13 Vessels and marine operations Day-to-day workboats (RHIBs also used) Well-boat (land-based harvest) Medium workboat feeds/medications Harvest vessel (slaughter at sea) Feed storage barge Crowding (treatments/grading) Larger workboat (treatments/moorings) 14 Examples of cutting-edge technology Sea lice detection and counting Counting and biomass determination Subsea feeding IoT, AI and Machine vision – Feeding and pellet mainly found application in detection feeding i-farm – individualistic farming Net-cleaning ROV Akva; BioSort; GaelForce Fusion; InnovaSea; Aquabyte 15 Future fish farming • Recirculating Aquaculture Systems? • Offshore? • Semi-closed Containment Systems? 16 Shellfish aquaculture Scotland: prawns, mussels, oysters, scallops – many more species worldwide 17 Bivalve production Scotland 2019 MSS, 2020 18 Scottish Shellfish Marketing Group 19 Seaweeds A carbon-negative business supplying food, medicines, chemicals and packaging? 20 Seaweeds • Mostly farmed in Asia, China, Japan and Korea • Farming of seaweed in Europe and Scotland is limited • Farmed or harvested for food or chemicals (mostly hydrocolloids, e.g. alginate or carrageenan) • Many (~11,000) species: • Kelps: konbu, ma konbu, wakame – Umami taste to food (natural MSG) • Red seaweeds: Porphyra – Laverbread; Porphyra – Nori (Kathleen Mary Drew-Baker – ‘Mother of the sea’); Chondrus crispus – Carageenan/finings 21 Seaweed (kelp) – life/cultivation cycle Microscopic stages conducted on land in hatchery Ongrowing in the open sea Parent release ♂ / ♀ spores which settle and grow into gametophytes ♂ Gametophytes release gametes (sperm), which fertilises the ♀ gametophyte Gametophytes – some species can be Ongrowing / maintained under red light marine phase 22 Hatchery Gametophyte cultures can be stored for long periods and activated to produce gametes Some growth in hatchery (egg/sperm) Twine wound on spools is seeded Ready to deploy 23 Lines Grid Grow-out systems 24 Driving innovation in aquaculture 25 26 27 SAIC connects and collaborates with commercial businesses and academic partners 28 29.

The thesis primarily seeks to evaluate whether a multiple factor forecast model or a forecast combination model incorporating additional explanatory variables have the ability to outperform a five common factor (FCF) benchmark forecast model containing common factors for the Norwegian stock market. The in-sample and out-of- sample forecasting results indicate that a multiple factor forecast model fails to outperform the FCF benchmark model. Interestingly, a forecast combination model with additional explanatory variables for the Norwegian market is expected to outperform the FCF benchmark forecast model. GRA 19703 0981324 0983760 Acknowledgements This thesis was written as the final piece of assessment after five years at BI Norwegian Business School and marks the completion of the Master of Science in Business program. We would like to thank our supervisor Ignacio Garcia de Olalla Lopez for his help and guidance through this process.

  • Arctic Norwegian Value Creation Monthly Report August 2019
    Arctic Norwegian Value Creation Monthly Report August 2019 FUND COMMENTS Arcc Norwegian Value Creaon (Class B) fell by 0.3% in August bringing return year to date to 9.9%. Since incepon in August 2014, the fund has returned 69.9% compared to a return of 42.0% for the Norwegian OSEFX benchmark. The largest posive contribuons to fund performance in August came from Schibsted, Veidekke and Lerøy Seafood Group. Schibsted connued to perform well supported by strong share price development for its main asset, Adevinta. Adevinta comprises more than 2/3 of Schibsted’s market value. Schibsted started its buy-back program for up to 2% of the shares in August. The Tinius Trust, its main shareholder, increased its holdings during last month. Veidekke reported Q2 figures ahead of expectaons on both topline and margin. Previously taken measures to improve margins, especially within the Civil Engineering Norway and Industrial segments, are starng to show results, while the order book of NOK 35 billion is at all-me high. With an improving balance sheet, the NOK 5 dividend per share should be intact, offering an aracve yield. The share price of Lerøy benefied from a generally strong senment for the aquaculture sector. Having said that, Lerøy reported a somewhat disappoinng second quarter while salmon prices retreated during the month. The most negave contribuons to performance last month came from XXL, Storebrand and B2 Holding. XXL’s Q2 in July showed weak like-for-like growth in Norway and uncertainty about sales connued last month. Moreover, XXL has manipulated the number of items sold at pre-discount sales prices at some stores in order to jusfy large percentwise campaign discounts.

We estimate ~500kt of new planned production capacity in the land-based sector, Note: Unless otherwise stated, the share prices in this section are the last closing price more than double the figure of just two years ago. While some of that is delayed projects, generally developments have grown in number and scale. The number of new projects has more than doubled from the ~150kt planned production volume we identified in 2016, fuelled by ongoing challenges in traditional fish farming and expectations of high salmon prices. Developments totalling ~500kt in annual production by 2026. Comparing current developments we identified with the numbers two years ago, we note volumes have been pushed out in time, and projects have increased in number and scale. We believe several of the new and revised projects are also likely to fail due to a lack of financing or other challenges; of more interest to us is the backlog growth trajectory. If the backlog has more than doubled in two years, where could it be in another two years? Another doubling in another two years would imply ~800kt of planned land- based capacity by 2021, equating to 35% of 2017 global production of 2,300kt.
