Marine Harvest ASA, the world’s biggest salmon farmer, reported fourth-quarter fish harvest volumes that were 6 percent higher than its own guidance.
Volumes were 105,000 metric tons compared with a 99,000-ton guidance from the third quarter, the Oslo-based company said today in a statement. Operational earnings before interest and taxes were 390 million kroner ($65 million), helped by an asset sales gain, while EBIT per kilogram in Norway was 4.1 kroner. An analyst survey by TDN Finans expected Ebit of 343 million kroner.
