6. Favourable outlook • Continuing strong projected revenue growth of 12% per annum for the next two years, in line with growth over the last two years, but this time around increasingly driven by higher prices; • As a result, profitability is expected to improve strongly, with EBIT margins almost doubling from 6.9% last year to 13.4% this year, and further increasing to 14.7% next year; • Return on invested capital is projected to recover from 5.4% last year, to 9.9% this year, broadly in line with the cost of capital, and to 11.3% next year.

8. Valuation • The valuation of the seafood sector has increased by 14% so far this year, mainly driven by the salmon farmers, and by 56% since the start of 2010, mainly driven by fish feed producers; • The seafood sector is now trading at 7.0x EBIT and 10.3x EPS projected for FY14E, which is relatively low compared to the consumer sector at 16.5x EPS projected for FY14E. • The seafood sector is still relatively small and less well known with financial institutions; • There is a relatively high cyclicality of earnings, outweighing favourable long-term demographic trends; • The sector is trading at 10.3x EPS projected for FY14E, but at 14.8x based on mid-cycle EPS. • ‘Investing in Seafood’ covers the top-50 publicly listed global seafood companies, with full financial models, detailed company profiles and investment cases.

10. Risk factors • High share price volatility • Volatility is caused by commodity price cycles, with salmon prices moving up or down by over 50% in less than a year. • Low earnings predictability • Earnings are highly sensitive to salmon prices, which have proven difficult to forecast. A change of NOK 1/kg in the salmon price changes operational EBIT by NOK350m, corresponding to more than 50% of operational EBIT in 2012. • Relatively high financial leverage • Farmers tend to overinvest in the upturn of the cycle, resulting in high financial leverage when the cycle turns. For example, balance sheets of seafood stocks looked stretched with net debt at 4.8x EBITDA at the end of 2012. • Currency transaction risk • Marine Harvest farms the majority of its salmon in Norway, whereas the majority of revenues are generated in the Eurozone, causing substantial NOK/EUR transaction exposure. • Fish diseases and other biological issues • Fish diseases and other biological issues are likely to continue to negatively impact operating costs and investor sentiment towards seafood stocks. • Environmental and food safety concerns • Fish farming sometimes is criticized from an environmental or food safety perspective, which may negatively affect consumption and investor sentiment. • Economic factors • Demand for salmon as a relatively more expensive protein source maybe negatively affected in a weaker economic environment.
