The entire facility will be fully integrated with Innova software to optimize performance and enhance productivity at every stage of the process. Outlook is improving on the back of lower input costs and improved profitability for poultry processors, market environment expected to normalize in coming quarters.

North America continues to drive orders, beef is outperforming pork, and there is more activity within consumer-ready products in secondary processing than primary processing. Challenging market conditions continue, though there are bright spots of opportunities on the horizon. High input costs for our customers are showing signs of moderating. Capacity rationalization expected to continue, which with wage inflation and labor scarcity, leads to opportunities for automation investments with focus on key value-added solutions in secondary processing. Supply and demand in pork is rebalancing after a period of oversupply, leading to rising prices of pork and improving profitability of processors from historically low levels. Beef volume expected to be stable or decline leading to investments in consumer-ready products, fresh and prepared. Revenues in 3Q23 were soft for Marel Meat at EUR 103.9m (2Q23: 108.4m, 3Q22: 131.1), due to lower volumes across projects, standard equipment and aftermarket. EBIT1 margin in 3Q23 of 1.3% (2Q23: 0.3%, 3Q22: 2.8%), due to a soft order book and low project revenues, though partly offset by improving project margins and strong cost management. 8.2% 2.8% 1.3% 0.7% 0.3% Management continues to target EBIT margin expansion for Marel Meat.

Demand for salmon- related solutions across Norway continued to be impacted by resource taxes, clarity expected in the coming period. Demand in the value chain for whitefish is impacted by inflation and consumers' shift to cheaper proteins in the current market environment. Outlook for orders received and pipeline is improving and expected to pick up, although timing of pipeline conversion to orders remains uncertain. Global harvested salmon volume is on a growth path in 2024 creating a need for more processing capacity. Salmon is still the most sought-after fresh fish in retail, both in the US and Europe and processors are shifting investments towards more value-added products. Expectation for harvested volume in whitefish to decrease in 2024 due to potential lower quota. Whitefish processors to focus on operational excellence, further automation and value-added products. Revenues in 3Q23 for Marel Fish were EUR 43.9m, down 12.9% QoQ and flat YoY (2Q23: 50.4m, 3Q22: 43.6m). EBIT margin in 3Q23 improved to 0.9% in the quarter on a EUR 6.5m lower revenue base compared to 2Q23. Profitability positively impacted by actions enacted resulting in lower operational costs. Operational performance continues to be impacted by low margin projects from acquisitions progressing towards final stages with associated one-off expenses. Management continues to target EBIT margin expansion for the Fish segment, based on right sizing actions already enacted, continued focus on operational efficiency and optimization of manufacturing footprint.

Outlook and pipeline remains solid in pet food while softer in plant-based solutions and aqua feed. Wenger has a strong foothold in the North and Latin American market and strong recurring revenues from aftermarket services. Management is focusing on proactive aftermarket services and the further cross- and upselling of Marel's complementary product offering into plant, pet and feed. Revenues in 3Q23 were EUR 47.8m (2Q23: 54.9m, 3Q22: 55.9m) lower than expectation due to timing of shipments and a parts availability issue expected to resolve in 4Q23.

Each individual product can therefore be accurately tracked and traced through both primary and secondary processes which is not the case with off-line water chilling systems Uptime: As processing plants strive to get as close to 100% uptime as possible, all components of an air chilling system must be ultra-reliable. Should one of the chiller's drive motors fail during production, its work is automatically taken over by its neighbor and can even pinpoint the exact position of any broken shackle marel Marel is proud to partner with the key poultry processors in N-America, more than 100% growth in air-chilling solutions sold in past 5 years, and sales have doubled following shifts in consumer behavior since the pandemic 24 24#25marel Beypilic to transform Turkish poultry market Marel to design and deliver a brand-new, cutting-edge greenfield facility spanning 60,000 square meters, equipped with two production lines, each capable of processing 15,000 birds per hour Beypilic, an integrated poultry processor in Turkey, is expanding its footprint, processing capabilities and presence in the Middle East The new facility will be a significant step forward for the growing poultry industry in Turkey where chicken serves as the predominant source of protein in the country's diet Beypilic will meet the increased consumer demand for prepared foods, with two lines dedicated to prepared food products such as nuggets and schnitzel The entire facility will be integrated with Marel's comprehensive Innova software, allowing Beypilic to improve performance and enhance productivity at every stage of its process Beypilic currently runs two 12,000 bph production lines with Marel equipment, which enable Beypilic to produce over 150 chicken products, all produced with the highest food safety standards.
