 TOMRA: 5% revenue growth and continued profitability improvement driven by strong performance in Food

# TOMRA: 5% revenue growth and continued profitability improvement driven by strong performance in Food

TOMRA, the global technology leader in sensor-based solutions for optimal  

resource productivity, announces its financial results for the first quarter  

2025.  

  

Tove Andersen, President and CEO of TOMRA Systems ASA comments:  

  

"TOMRA delivers a good first quarter. I'm proud of the turnaround Food is  

demonstrating, achieving a record strong first-quarter EBITA and double-digit  

growth in both revenues and new orders. Collection revenues were down a modest  

two percent. Lower activity in new markets is as expected, but Romania delivers  

a record quarter and we see good growth in existing markets. Recycling delivers  

a quarter with revenues in line with last year's first quarter and with a low  

order intake. Trade tensions are leading to increased market uncertainty which  

impacts our Recycling customers. Looking forward we expect a year with high  

activity for TOMRA, with a solid order backlog in Recycling, a reinvigorated  

Food division, and new market activity gradually picking up in Collection as  

Poland and Portugal prepare for DRS implementation."  

  

Revenues in TOMRA Group amounted to 306 MEUR in the quarter (1Q24: 291 MEUR), an  

increase of 5% from last year. Collection revenues were down 2% from a strong  

first quarter last year to 185 MEUR (1Q24: 189 MEUR). In Recycling, revenues  

were down 1% to 46 MEUR (1Q24: 46 MEUR), marginally lower than the estimated  

backlog conversion ratio for the quarter. In Food, revenues grew 16% to 70 MEUR  

(1Q24: 60 MEUR), in line with the estimated backlog conversion ratio.  

  

The order backlog in Recycling was down 2% to 122 MEUR (1Q24: 125 MEUR) after a  

soft order intake which was down 16% to 61 MEUR in the quarter (1Q24: 73 MEUR).  

In Food, the order intake was up 13% to 87 MEUR (1Q24: 76 MEUR), which was the  

highest first quarter order intake in three years. The Food order backlog grew  

6% to 125 MEUR (1Q24: 118 MEUR).  

  

Gross margin for TOMRA Group increased to 43% in the quarter (1Q24: 40%). The  

Collection gross margin improved to 41% (1Q24: 40%). Low volumes and product mix  

effects in Recycling translated into a lower gross margin of 45% (1Q24: 48%).  

The gross margin in Food increased to 44% (1Q24: 37%) as a result of last year's  

cost savings program and strong first quarter volumes.  

  

Operating expenses increased 3% to 104 MEUR in the quarter (1Q24: 101 MEUR adj.  

for special items). No special items were booked in the quarter (1Q24: -1.6  

MEUR).  

  

EBITA increased 69% to 26 MEUR in the quarter (1Q24: 15 MEUR, adj.) with a  

corresponding EBITA margin of 8% (1Q24: 5%, adj.). Higher volumes and lower  

costs yielded an EBITA margin of 5% in Food (1Q24: -10%, adj.). The lower  

activity in Recycling resulted in an EBITA margin of -1% (1Q24: 1%) while in  

Collection the EBITA margin was in line with last year's at 16% (1Q24: 16%).  

  

Earnings per share increased to 0.03 EUR in the quarter (1Q24: 0.01 EUR, adj.).
