Trading and Financial performance
Following the listing on 23 March 2017 Sea Harvest successfully placed 106 333 334 ordinary shares at a
price of R12.50 per share, raising R1.2 billion of capital.
Sea Harvest Group delivered earnings before interest and tax of R383 million and profit after tax of
R267 million for the year ended 31 December 2017, an increase of 53% and 103% respectively on the same
period last year, benefiting from the improved performance of its South African operations as a result of
strong market demand and exceptional performance of the Saldanha Bay factories.
Group revenue for the year increased by 10% to R2.1 billion (2016: R1.9 billion). Continued strong global
demand for high value, sustainably certified, wild caught seafood with limited supply is driving strong
pricing across all channels and markets, partially offsetting the impact of the stronger Rand.
The Group delivered gross profit for the year of R717 million (2016: R605 million) and the gross profit margin
improved to 34% (2016: 31%). The expansion in the gross profit margin was driven by efficiency gains as a
result of investments in factory freezer vessel capacity and land-based efficiency improvements, increased
export volumes mix and price increases which partially offset the impact of the stronger Rand.
Other operating income increased to R75 million (2016: R32 million) mainly due to foreign exchange gains.
Operating expenses for the year increased by 4% to R458 million (2016: R440 million). Included in
2017 operating expenses were R21 million of costs relating to the restructure of the Group and listing
on the JSE. The 2016 operating expenses included foreign exchange losses and only six months
of Mareterram Limited's expenses. Adjusting for these, on a like-for-like basis, there were no
significant increases in operating expenses due to a continued focus on cost containment.
Earnings per share ("EPS") increased by 38% to 119 cents per ordinary share (2016: 86 cents) and
headline earnings per share ("HEPS") increased by 91% to 108 cents per ordinary share (2016:
56 cents). The improvements in both EPS and HEPS were driven by the improved performance
of the South African operations. The increase in earnings more than offset the dilutive impact of
the 54% increase in the weighted average number of shares.
South African Operations: South African operations include fishing of deep-sea Cape
Hake and related by-catch, the processing of the catch into fresh and frozen products and
sales into various channels both locally and internationally. South African sales volumes for
the year were 1% lower than 2016. The Total Allowed Catch reduced by 5% which directly
affected catch volumes. This reduction was largely offset by the Company's global sourcing
strategy. Export volumes increased by 4% resulting in exports accounting for 53% of sales
in value terms. The Rand strengthened by 8% across the currencies in which Sea Harvest trades
and export prices increased by 6% in real terms, largely offsetting the impact of the stronger Rand.
Revenue from the local South African market, which includes retail and foodservice, was 5%
higher than the prior year, driven by price inflation on fish of 9%. The continued challenging local
retail environment impacted local volumes which were 4% lower compared to last year.
South African operations have benefited from the significant capital investments in the fleet and
factories over the past few years which has driven considerable growth in the higher margin export
business. Demand for Cape Hake remains firm, particularly in the EU and Australia.
Australian Operations: Mareterram Limited operations include fishing in the Shark Bay Prawn
Managed Fishery (SBPMF) for prawns, scallops, crabs and by-catch and the distribution of its own
product and other food products from domestic and international suppliers (including Sea Harvest)
to customers in Australia and abroad.
Revenue for the year increased by 5% to R487 million (2016: R463 million). This growth was
driven by higher landings of prawns (up 11%) and scallops (up 51%). Prices on prawns, scallops and
crabs were well up on prior year and demand remained strong although the smaller size mix
negatively impacted average realisations.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation ("EBITDA") was R30.9 million for the
year ended 31 December 2017, with profit after tax ("PAT") from operations of R15.3 million. This
compares to an EBITDA of R21 million and PAT of R3.2 million in the prior year.
Cash flow and Financial Position
The Group generated R430 million cash from its operations and invested R89 million in working
capital during the year, impacted by increased sales levels and VAT receivables.
During the year, the Group generated R345 million from financing activities. A portion of the capital
raised at listing of R1.2 billion was utilised to repay preference share capital and accrued
dividends, third party debt and shareholder loans. A R550 million revolving credit facility was
put in place post-listing, of which R180 million was drawn down to fund the acquisition of an
additional factory freezer vessel.
The Group utilised R369 million in investing activities during the year, most notably the strategic
investments in an additional factory freezer vessel and the fish processing factory in Saldanha Bay.
The Group ended the year with R383 million of cash on hand.
Driving transformation
As a c.80% black-owned business, driving transformation within the fishing industry and
uplifting the communities in which the Company operates is a non-negotiable for the Group.
The Group devotes considerable resources to employee skills development and employment
equity, as well as projects that drive supplier and enterprise development, youth empowerment,
job creation and rural development. Sea Harvest is a level 2 BBBEE contributor with a score of 98.9
making it one of the most transformed businesses in the fishing sector.
Outlook
In South Africa, the Group expects to see a continued increase in the global demand for high
value, wild caught, MSC certified species such as Cape Hake, which will drive continued export
growth and price inflation, which, together with a consistent hedging policy, will seek to partially
limit the impact of continued Rand strength. Local volumes will continue to be under pressure as a
result of the challenging economic environment, but the impact of this on revenue is expected to
be partially offset by continued price inflation in the category.
On the supply side, export growth will be supported by the introduction of an additional
factory freezer vessel into the fleet, whose frozen-at-sea products are targeted towards
export markets. Strategic investments within the fish processing factory in Saldanha Bay during the
third quarter of 2018 will drive further production efficiencies.
In Australia, the Fishing Division continues to make significant headway in its vessel improvement
programme, designed to continually increase vessel reliability and efficiency. On 3 November
2017, Mareterram announced that it had acquired two mackerel packages, with fishing licences and
vessels successfully transferred in early 2018. The diversification into mackerel
fishing provides scale and a complementary revenue stream to the existing prawn, scallop and
crab fishing business and a further extension of the basket of high-value offerings from Mareterram's
Food Services Division.
The Group has a clear strategy and is focused on driving earnings growth through investments
within its existing operations, as well as through strategic acquisitions in both South Africa and
Australia. Good progress has been made on both fronts. The Group has announced it is in advanced
negotiations to acquire 51% of the shares of Viking Aquaculture and, as part of a BBBEE Consortium,
acquire 100% of the assets of Viking Fishing which would be transformational for the Group.

3. RESTATEMENT OF THE FINANCIAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2016
In the prior year, the Group acquired a 55.89% interest in Mareterram Limited, a fishing, fish processing
and trading business situated on the Australian West Coast and listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
The initial accounting for the business combination in the prior year was prepared using provisional
values as permitted in terms of paragraph 45 of IFRS 3 Business Combinations. Subsequent to the
end of the prior reporting period the purchase price allocation was finalised within the measurement
period, being a period not exceeding 12 months from the acquisition date in July 2016, and the
provisional values adjusted in terms of paragraph 45 of IFRS 3.
The audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2016 have been restated for the
finalisation of the purchase price allocation of the Mareterram Limited business combination.

FINANCIAL DERIVATIVE ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
The current portion of financial assets and liabilities arises from hedging contracts entered into by
the Group for the purpose of minimising the Group's exposure to foreign currency volatility. Hedging
contracts are regarded as level 2 financial instruments for fair value measurement purposes. Level
2 fair value measurements are those derived from inputs that are observable for the asset or liability,
either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
CALL OPTION DERIVATIVE
The non-current portion of financial assets is a call option, entered into on 1 January 2017, to acquire
100% of the shareholding in Vuna Fishing Company Proprietary Limited (joint venture of Brimstone
Investment Corporation Limited) from Vuna Fishing Group Proprietary Limited (subsidiary of Brimstone
Investment Corporation Limited). The fair value was independently determined by an expert using the
Black-Scholes option pricing model. The 10 year call option financial asset which can be exercised
at any time has been classified as a non-current asset at year-end due to the expected exercise date
thereof exceeding 12 months from the reporting date. The call option is regarded as a level 3 financial
instrument for fair value measurement purposes. Level 3 fair value measurements are those derived
from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable
market data (unobservable inputs).
Assumption sensitivity analysis
The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to a change in the assumptions
used in the valuation. The sensitivity analysis demonstrates the increase/(decrease) on the asset held
at fair value through profit or loss which could result from a change in these assumptions.

The Group holds 10% of the ordinary share capital of Desert Diamond Fishing Proprietary Limited,
a company involved in the fishing and fishing processing industries. The directors of the Group do
not consider that the Group is able to exercise significant influence over Desert Diamond Fishing
Proprietary Limited.
The Group reassesses the valuation of the available-for-sale investment annually, by using an asset
valuation method performed by an independent valuator.
The available-for-sale investment is regarded as a level 3 financial instrument. Level 3 fair value
measurements are those derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability
that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
Assumption sensitivity analysis
The Group has performed a sensitivity analysis relating to its exposure to a change in the assumptions
used in the valuation. This sensitivity analysis demonstrates the increase/(decrease) on the available
for sale investment which could result from a change in these assumptions.

9. SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
The Group has two wholly-owned trusts which have been established as vehicles through which certain
executives, senior management and employees have made an investment in or acquired an economic
exposure to an investment in shares in the company. In March 2017 when the company listed it adopted
a forfeitable share plan to attract, retain, incentivise and reward the right calibre of employees.
SEA HARVEST MANAGEMENT INVESTMENT TRUST NO.2
The Sea Harvest Management Investment Trust No. 2 was established as an investment vehicle for
senior executives of Sea Harvest Corporation Proprietary Limited (subsidiary) to acquire shares in
the Company.
The fair value of the shares is estimated at the grant date using a finite difference pricing model,
taking into account the terms and conditions on which the shares were granted.
On 17 February 2017, prior to listing and as part of the Group restructure, the scheme was modified
and 75% of the shares vested. 15% of the remaining shares will vest in 2019 and 10% in 2020. Following
the vesting being settled in cash, the share scheme was also reclassified from equity-settled
to cash-settled.
SEA HARVEST EMPLOYEE SHARE TRUST
The Sea Harvest Employee Share Trust, was established as an investment vehicle for employees of
Sea Harvest Corporation Proprietary Limited (subsidiary) to acquire an economic exposure to an
investment in shares in the Company.
The fair value of the share incentives is estimated at the grant date using a finite difference pricing
model, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the share incentives were granted.
On 23 March 2017, on listing and as part of the Group restructure the scheme was modified and 50%
of the shares vested. The remaining 50% of the shares will vest in 2022. Following the vesting being
settled in cash, the share scheme was also reclassified from equity-settled to cash-settled.
FORFEITABLE SHARE PLAN
On 23 March 2017, the Group established a forfeitable share plan. In terms of the forfeitable share plan,
executive directors and senior managers may be awarded performance, bonus and retention shares
in the Group. The performance shares are linked to a requirement of continued employment over the
prescribed period, the Group's performance and strategic, individual performance conditions which
have to be met. Shares are granted to participants for no consideration. These shares participate in
dividends and shareholder rights from grant date. The scheme is accounted for as an equity-settled
share based payment scheme.
