Iceland Seafood International hf. — Cyborg Score 6/10
Solid
Seafood Processing & Export
Strategic Profile
The company combines Icelandic tradition with cutting-edge logistics, delivering seafood with unmatched expertise and rigorous traceability. Q1 2025 showed continued operational recovery with normalized profit before tax of €2.3m and 12-month EBITDA reaching €18.5 million, positioning the firm for margin expansion as refinancing initiatives reduce interest costs.
Cyborg Score Rationale
The company demonstrated improving profitability with equity ratio improving to 29.9% in Q1 2025 from 26.8% in Q1 2024. However, the company faces commodity price volatility in salmon and white fish markets, and operates in a capital-intensive industry with refinancing obligations.
