The key messages at the CMU
- Aker BioMarine’s ambition is to nearly double revenues towards 2025, with targeted annual growth rate of between 14% and 18%.
- Targeted adjusted EBITDA margin for the group in 2025 of +/- 30%.
- The company plans for average annual krill harvesting volumes of 55,000-60,000 metric tons (MT), although there will be seasonal and operational variations from year to year.
- To deliver on these targets, the company has established new growth- and improvement plans for all operational segments; Offshore, Animal Health & Nutrition, Human Health & Nutrition and for Brands.
- For 2022, the company targets revenue growth of 20%-25% with targeted adj. EBITDA margin of 20%-25%.

“Aker BioMarine has built a strong position in the attractive markets for human and animal nutrition for krill. As a fully integrated producer, we target significant sales growth in all our main segments towards 2025 and we seek improved results and cash flow. Krill harvesting is crucial for the company and with recent investments and measures for improved fisheries, we will lift the average annual harvesting volumes. We have set ambitious targets for the coming years, and it now comes down to execution”, said CEO Matts Johansen.


Operational update and 2021 full-year comments
The new harvesting season has started. Antarctic Endurance started fishing 26 November and has per 30 November produced 500 MT. The other harvesting vessels are on their way to the harvesting grounds, and we expect Saga Sea to start fishing this week and Antarctic Sea to start mid-December. Per 30 November the fleet has produced 41,900 MT so far this year.

Aker BioMarine reiterates the guiding for 2021 with expected annual sales to be somewhat below last year’s revenue of USD 289 million with an expected adjusted EBITDA margin of 15-17%. The company expects harvesting volume for the year to be in the upper part of the communicated range of 40,000-45,000 MT.

The turnaround in sales for Superba is progressing, and in the two first months of this quarter, Aker BioMarine has already sold volumes in line with the full third quarter.

The R&D team in Aker BioMarine has recently finalized three studies on Superba, all with positive results. The studies have been performed in the fields of arthritis, on strength & muscles and on anti-aging. All studies may result in new health claims for Superba. The studies are expected to be published within six months.
