Operational EBIT for the Group was approximately NOK 850 million in Q4 2015 (NOK 1,032 million in Q4 2014).

| Norway | NOK | 12.1 |

| Chile | NOK | -12.3 |
Reported net interest bearing debt (NIBD) was approximately NOK 9.6 billion at the end of the quarter.
A separate press release will be disclosed later today regarding a restructuring plan of Marine Harvest Scotland Farming. Following a recent review of the business up to 100 jobs will be reduced to make the business more efficient and sustainable.
