We are now ready to launch capacity for phase 2, which is nearing completion. We are pleased to report another quarter with strong sales growth, significant sales price increases, particularly for large fish, while achieving robust steady production and consistently high productivity\u201d, <\/span><\/em><span style=\"color: #1c3e56;\">said Ohad Maiman, CEO of The Kingfish Company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #1c3e56;\">Driven by continued strong demand for high-value kingfish in Europe and the US, sales grew by 90 percent to \u20ac5.4 million in Q3\u201922 and 69 percent in whole fish equivalent (WFE) tonnage to 392 tons. Sales prices have significantly increased in Q3\u201922, particularly for large fish (+25% YoY) reaching an average price per kg WFE of \u20ac17.1, and for small fish (+14% YoY) at \u20ac12.1 per kg WFE. Demand continues to outpace our production capacity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #1c3e56;\">The Kingfish Company produced 374 tons of net growth of high-value Yellowtail Kingfish in Q3 \u201922, compared to 334 tons of net growth in the same quarter of last year (first quarter at full run-rate of current installed capacity). This has resulted in a robust productivity index performance of 0.73 (net biomass growth per cubic meter capacity per day), representing an improvement of 11% compared to Q3 \u201921. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #d7ae09;\"><strong>Phase 2 expansion fully financed<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #1b3f57;\">Despite difficult market conditions, The Kingfish Company is raising \u20ac35 million through an equity raise, which is fully subscribed and guaranteed for all three tranches. The equity raise together with the remaining net amount on the PCP facility, a new revolving credit facility of EUR 5 million, a new lease facility with an EUR 3.5 million framework, and available cash is estimated to fully finance the Phase 2 capex with a buffer. The additional funds would also be available for biomass build up and general corporate purposes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #1b3f57;\">While The Kingfish Company has reached full capacity run-rate in phase 1, it has started the production of fingerlings for the pre-stocking of Phase 2. Phase 2 production is set to commence in early Q1\u201923. The significant volume increase is expected to result in material improvements to unit economics, building on an already strong basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">n<span style=\"color: #1b3f57;\">Development of the Company\u2019s US operation in Maine has secured all State and Federal permits, with only local town planning board permit remaining and in advanced stages, paving the way toward an 8,500 ton Phase 1 construction. In the third quarter, the company\u2019s site in Jonesport received the community support to proceed with its application as town residents overwhelmingly voted down a proposed moratorium on aquaculture projects. In parallel, the Company has shipped 3rd generation fingerlings to its US hatchery, to serve as future brood stock for the US operation. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #d7ae09;\"><strong>For more information<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #1c3e56;\">Please see the attached Q3 2022 business update presentation.
