HIGH LINER FOODS 2021 High Liner Foods Incorporated 8#9Financial Review & 2022 Outlook VEL 20 HIGH LINER FOODS 2021 High Liner Foods Incorporated 9#10Q4 2021 Performance ◉ ■ ■ • Q4 2021 net sales increased year-over-year reflecting pricing actions related to inflationary increases on input costs and favorable changes in sales mix, partially offset by lower sales volumes. In Foodservice, sales volume was lower due to the impact of global supply chain challenges on raw material supply to North America. In Retail, demand was lower than the same period in 2020 as a result of evolving consumer behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic. Gross profit increased as compared to the prior year by $5.1 million to $48.6 million as the Company continued to execute against its branded value-added leadership strategy. Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of sales decreased compared to the prior year by 170 basis points to 9.0% and Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $0.6 million to $20.6 million. The leverage ratio was 3.0x at the end of Fiscal 2021, compared to 3.0x at the end of Fiscal 2020. Global supply chain challenges, including competitive labour marker, material supply issues, port congestion / shutdowns, and inflationary costs pressures, impacted operations and related sales in both foodservice and retail business during the quarter. Specifically, shipping container shortages and raw material supply impacted the Company's ability to maximize volume sales during the quarter. • The Company took all available steps to attempt to mitigate the impact of supply challenges and also took appropriate pricing actions to offset additional costs incurred. HIGH LINER FOODS 2021 High Liner Foods Incorporated 10#112022 Outlook ■ Demand for the Company's products remains strong, however, like others in the retail and foodservice space, the Company continues to navigate global supply challenges, inflationary pressures on raw material and ongoing uncertainty related to the COVID-19 pandemic. High Liner Foods is taking all necessary steps to mitigate ongoing supply challenges by drawing on the scale of its global supply chain and the diversification of species, product, procurement and strong customer and supplier relationships to support its position. The Company's performance may be impacted by ongoing global supply chain challenges, inflationary pressures on raw material and other inputs and its ability to successfully implement related pricing actions. With a strong balance sheet and cash flow, the Company is well equipped to navigate current market conditions and invest in the business, with anticipated capital expenditures of approximately $25.0 million in Fiscal 2022, as we modernize our asset base, explore automation opportunities and maintain and upgrade our facilities. The Company does not have any impending debt maturities and will continue to utilize its $150.0 million working capital credit facility, if required, and remains confident in its liquidity position. High Liner Foods expects its Net Debt to Rolling Twelve-Month Adjusted EBITDA ratio to be below the Company's long- term target of 3.0x at the end of Fiscal 2022.

Retail: sales volume was lower primarily due to lapping the significant surge in demand at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic that did not repeat during 2021 and evolving consumer behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic. Sales volume 2021 was also negatively impacted by the supply challenges being experienced globally. The decline in sales volume in 2021 was partially offset by new business and new product sales. Net sales increased $47.9M (5.8%) to $875.4M Lower sales volumes mentioned above were more than offset by favorable changes in sales mix, lower promotional activity and pricing actions related to inflationary increases on input costs.
