Mowi ended 2025 by once again setting a number of new records, both for the
fourth quarter and for the full year. Norway’s largest food producer and the
world’s largest salmon farmer has never had better revenues or harvest volumes
than in 2025, with turnover of EUR 5.73 billion and harvest volumes of 559,000
tonnes, equivalent to annual growth of 11.4%. At 152,000 tonnes, volumes in the
fourth quarter were also seasonally record-high.
“I am delighted that we are delivering on our strategy and am impressed yet
again by the way this whole organisation constantly strives for both record
volumes and record revenues throughout the value chain. It is also pleasing to
see that costs in Farming are down by EUR 197 million and are expected to fall
even more in 2026,” Mowi CEO Ivan Vindheim said.
Salmon prices increased as expected in the fourth quarter, rounding off a year
marked by low prices resulting from extremely high supply growth of 12%. Despite
this, Mowi delivered relatively solid results both for the quarter at EUR 213
million and for the full year at EUR 727 million, corresponding to a return on
capital employed of 13.3%.
Volume growth is one of Mowi’s strategic pillars and the farming business has
seen impressive growth in recent years. In just a few years, Mowi has grown from
a 400,000-tonne farmer to a 600,000-tonne farmer.
“2025 marked yet another record harvest year for Mowi and we expect to continue
down this path by harvesting 605,000 tonnes in 2026. This represents annual
growth of 8.3%, compared with 1% expected industry growth. We have never had so
much fish in the sea at this time of year, with 8.7% more than at the same time
last year. All of which positions us well for further growth,” said Vindheim.
Mowi Consumer Products, the group’s downstream processing business, delivered
another solid quarter and an impressive 2025 overall, setting both operational
and financial records. The division ended the year with operational EBIT of EUR
197 million and record-high volumes of 265,000 tonnes product weight.
Global demand for salmon continued to develop positively in 2025, and growth is
particularly strong in Asia and America. With its global sales, logistics and
processing footprint Mowi is uniquely positioned to take advantage of growth
trends around the world. In 2025, Mowi strengthened its global brand presence
and the MOWI brand is now present in 23 countries.
“Our strategy is to redefine the salmon category and change the way salmon is
sold. In 2025 we continued to expand the MOWI product range and increased
branded volumes by 30%,” said Vindheim.
2025 was a year with abnormally high supply growth coming in the wake of several
years of challenging biology for the industry. Supply growth is now normalised
and is expected to be around 1% in 2026. In the years to come, the regulatory
environment and technological barriers all indicate limited growth of around
1-2% per year. This, combined with good market prospects, means Mowi expects a
tighter market balance going forward.
Mowi’s feed division, Mowi Feed, also delivered another strong quarter with high
volumes and record revenues. The same applied to the full year with earnings of
EUR 67 million on 585,000 tonnes of feed.
Mowi entered into a strategic and industrial partnership agreement with Nutreco-
owned feed producer Skretting during the fourth quarter, which will secure Mowi
the best performing feed at the lowest cost in the industry. This partnership is
expected to deliver at least EUR 55 million in annualised net cost savings.
The board of Mowi has decided to pay a quarterly dividend of NOK 1.50 per share.
