what happened
According to a press release distributed by GlobeNewswire, SalMar's group operating EBIT for the third quarter of 2026 came in at NOK 1.6 billion. The company harvested a record 105,100 tonnes of salmon, and operating EBIT per kilogram reached NOK 15.3. The release does not give a prior-year figure, so a direct year-on-year comparison is not possible.
Net interest-bearing debt fell by NOK 1.2 billion during the quarter, to NOK 17.9 billion at period end. Harvest guidance for 2027 is 348,000 tonnes, in line with 2026, when the company's forecast was 347,000 tonnes, up 15% from 2025. The company also reduced its forecasts for its Iceland and Scottish Sea Farms operations.
The deal to acquire about 70% of Måsøval for roughly NOK 3.4 billion is still awaiting regulatory approvals.
why it matters
For investors, the key points are steady volume expected in 2027, lower debt, and the outcome of the Måsøval deal, which depends on regulators. The cut to forecasts for two operations alongside a record quarter is worth weighing when judging how sustainable growth is.
