Other Highlights Q2:
- The Company continues to build for the future, focusing on new market development in Europe and expanding our manufacturing capabilities. Key developments this quarter include:
- o Scotland/UK/Republic of Ireland we continue to make strong efforts in these markets. In Scotland, no official conclusion of the cross-party review has been announced regarding any potential delay. Retailers are continuing to execute RFI/RFP processes which are on-going and which we are fully engaged in. This is expected to result in further large-scale tests in Q3. In the wider UK, discussions and engagement are ongoing with the industry, government and all stakeholders. In the Republic of Ireland, DRS is a focus and we are engaged, led and supported by our experienced UK team.
- o Romania we are very active in this important market and have implemented now several municipal solutions which were presented during the 'Smart Village' showcase in June and widely communicated through national media and television. Several further retail pilots are now operational, and we expect a positive conclusion concerning the DRS law over the next months. In terms of building our footprint in the country we have secured new facilities and will be opening our expanded European Manufacturing plant in Romania in 2022.
- o Germany the company is also reviewing plans to expand production at its German plant for Quantum product.
- o Portugal We continue to execute on very positive pilots, demonstrations, and discussions with stakeholders in Portugal. Recently the business has added a dedicated local Business Development Manager in the country to accelerate our progress in this exciting market and start the process with RFI/RFP that are commencing.
- o Other Europe We are building the organization to cover the emerging European opportunities and have opened Central European regional team based in Bratislava. We are active with several interesting opportunities in Southern Europe/Mediterranean.
- In addition to Europe, North America is experiencing new business opportunities tied to positive legislation developments. Legislation modernizing the Connecticut Bottle Bill was passed, which included increased handling fees, increased deposit values and added retail requirements to install RVMs.
- The General Meeting of Shareholders was held 23, June 2021 at the company's office in Amersfoort. The GMS agenda proposed changes to the Board of Directors and a 1:10 share split, which were approved and have been subsequently implemented.
Outlook
We expect North America container throughput business to perform to at least 95% of the pre-COVID levels during the second half 2021. Our RVM machine sales are expected to perform particularly well in the second half of 2021 based on confirmed orders. The company has seen considerable pick up in legislative activity in both establishing new deposit markets and strengthening existing deposit legislation. As we move into 2022 we expect the North American business to enter a new growth mode which the company is well positioned to take benefit of.
Outlook for Europe in 2021 includes continued strong performance for our Swedish business along with orders in support of launch of the Scottish DRS. We also expect revenue potential from a number of our expanding business development markets in addition to our existing non-deposit markets.
We are confident in our strategy, our investments and our ability to execute in delivering strong growth and financial performance in the future. We have adequate financial resources to execute on our growth and development plans.
