In light of the Covid-19 pandemic the Board of Mowi has decided to postpone the decision on first quarter dividend until second quarter. The Board considers it essential to maintain a strong financial position amid the heightened uncertainty caused by Covid-19. The situation is challenging for all and Mowi is no exception. While our operations have continued to run more or less normally so far, we are incurring more costs than usual due to extensive measures implemented internally and externally. We are monitoring the situation closely and are ready to take further measures if needed.

The complete Q1 2020 report will be released on 13 May at 06:30 CET.

Please refer to the Annual Report for detailed descriptions and reconciliations of non-IFRS measures such as Operational EBIT and NIBD.
