CONTENTS KEY FIGURES
TOMRA has thus far received three awards in this year's European Business Awards, an independent awards program designed to recognize and promote excellence, best practice and innovation. For more information visit www. businessawardseurope.com.
In the next 35 years the world population is expected to grow to nine billion people, and more and more people will be living in metropolitan areas. By 2050 the number of people living in cities could expand from today's 50 percent to 70 percent, meaning an additional 1.5 million people every week would require urban living and working spaces. The resources needed to support this development will be massive, placing large demands on commodities like concrete, steel and food, and in turn on energy requirements, production processes and acquisition of raw materials. It will take collaborative, bold and innovative leadership to find ways to support this development without worsening the ecological situation of the planet.
TOMRA's mission statement, "to create sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity," describes how TOMRA seeks to respond to some of the challenges resulting from the above development trends. TOMRA offers solutions to critical industries such as food processing, mining and recycling that provide new pathways for increasing yields and productivity, while at the same time reducing costs and carbon footprint.
TOMRA Collection Solutions
TOMRA Collection Solutions is the clear world market leader in offering reverse vending systems. Our products contribute to developing a cyclical economy and generating green jobs, efficiently reusing valuable materials such as aluminum and PET, reducing littering and encouraging a path to a lower carbon economy.
In 2014, the market for TOMRA Collection Solutions remained robust in Europe. In Germany, large retail chains started executing on plans to replace RVMs installed when deposit legislation was implemented there in 2006. TOMRA is well positioned to serve the German customers with economical and technically versatile RVM systems.
The North American market remained affected by a continued decline in beverage container return volume, following a trend of reduced consumption of soft drinks and bottled water that
has been noted for several years. This negatively affects the volumes passing through TOMRA RVMs installed in North America, particularly machines which are installed under a "through-put lease" program. To counter the negative effects on TOMRA's results, a strategic volume builder initiative was launched early 2014. With this program TOMRA aims to increase the quality, attractiveness and availability of options for consumers to return beverage containers and also addresses new market segments such as return depots.
The past year was particularly important for TOMRA Collection Solutions as a result of the introduction of our new generation RVM solution, the T-9 with TOMRA Flow TechnologyTM. This technology has provided a new level of speed and user experience, and has been well received by our customers. The core modules, such as the 360-degree recognition module, infeed system and user interface, are being deployed into additional machines according to our plan for upgrading the entire product offering. A cost reduction program was executed during 2014 following the ambition to improve product cost structures and the cost targets were met.
To stay fully focused on the core portfolio built on sensorbased solutions, TOMRA decided to divest the activities in TOMRA Compaction. The divestment was announced during the fourth quarter 2014 and was completed during the first quarter 2015.
TOMRA Sorting Solutions
TOMRA Sorting Solutions offers significant economic and environmental benefits for major industries such as food processing, mining and recycling for increasing their productivity, yield, access to resources and reducing their costs. The product offering is well positioned to respond to short and long-term increases in demand for resources required to construct living and working spaces for an ever growing and increasingly urbanized global population. Demands on more convenient and higher quality food products and requirements for a less carbon-intense society are trends characterizing the industry development. TOMRA is positioned as a worldwide leader in
TOMRA offers solutions to critical industries such as food processing, mining and recycling that provide new pathways for increasing yields and productivity, while at the same time reducing costs and carbon footprint.
PARTNERSHIP FOR PRODUCTIVITY
all the segments we serve. The projected short and long-term business outlook is positive.
The overall market situation remained favourable for TOMRA Sorting Solutions and our order intake grew by 16 percent in 2014. All sectors showed increases and the strongest growth was recorded in mining, which despite the generally pressed investment climate showed positive development thanks to the new high-volume sorter platform which enables miners to reduce operating costs significantly. The market situation in recycling remained positive in the areas of plastics recycling and municipal household waste, while metals recycling (including e-waste) continued to be slow and pressed by lower commodity prices. The food processing business remained strong and behaved more linear as result of increases in capacity needs and more stringent food safety and quality requirements.
The integration of Odenberg and BEST is now completed. Leveraging technology synergies, increasing adaptability and shortening the time to market are core elements of TOMRA's strategy to merge our sensor-based sorting activities under one brand. This will enable TOMRA to better serve global

markets and develop new cutting-edge solutions and sorting capabilities. A key component supporting this strategy is the development of a common sorting platform (CSP) for the Food, Recycling and Mining business segments.
The development phase of the CSP has been completed and all new products are being built utilizing this platform. As the basic sorting principles are conceptually the same across the segments, the TOMRA CSP will provide a set of building blocks that can be utilized in applications within multiple segments. Benefits include increased productivity and speed in product development, reduced development and after-market costs and more efficient use of human resources.
We are now initiating a substantial launch program of new products based on our CSP to bolster continued growth. An example of this is the new NIMBUS BSI sorter – our latest technological breakthrough that enables chemical identification capabilities for nuts and raisins. We have also launched a high-speed sorting system for mining that quadruples performance and opens up the possibility for new sorting applications in the Mining segment.
We are also highly focused on our production capabilities, and in October 2014 we opened a new custom-built assembly and test plant in Senec, Slovakia for worldwide supply of sorting products for food, recycling and mining. The new plant replaces previous operations in Slovakia, Belgium and Germany. The objectives with the consolidation of operations into one location include ensuring high quality, short cycle times, high productivity and competitive cost structures.
Doing business responsibly
TOMRA is a member of the UN Global Compact, a strategic platform for advancing our commitment to sustainability and corporate citizenship. The 2014 Annual Report is our fifth Communication on Progress to the UN Global Compact, which includes a review of the activities we are focused on as part of our Corporate Responsibility Program. Doing business responsibly is a fundamental concept that frames all our activities, and we will continue to support and promote this and the Global Compact during 2015.
Looking to the future
TOMRA Sorting Solutions recently invested significant efforts into integrating key processes such as supply chain management and product development. With the addition of our common production concept and CSP modular technology, core processes are now scalable and better positioned to rapidly respond to market changes and contribute to improved return on investments. We anticipate further robust market demand but cannot exclude the possibility of short-term fluctuations driven by macro-economic changes. Continued focus on expanding the presence in emerging markets will be high on the agenda in order for TOMRA to respond to the fast growing demands in Asia, Middle East, Africa and Latin America.
Within TOMRA Collection Solutions we anticipate in the near and mid-term a positive market situation driven by increased RVM replacement activities and the expansion into new markets such as Lithuania, Croatia and the depot segment. Further opportunities may also arise in other areas that are evaluating the implementation of deposit systems to increase recycling both on national and provincial levels, such as Scotland, Spain and Australia.
I believe our efforts to integrate and strengthen our core business have placed the organization on a solid footing to execute our growth strategies, and I am confident we will continue to develop positively in 2015. In my view we have never been in a stronger position to meet or exceed our customers' expectations in providing innovative solutions to help them be more successful. We look forward to building on this and what we can achieve in pursuing our vision of leading the resource revolution together with our business partners.
LEADING THE RESOURCE REVOLUTION
For TOMRA leading the resource revolution is about creating partnerships for transforming how we obtain, use and reuse resources for sustainable economic growth and improved quality of life for all.
35 billion used beverage containers are every year captured by our reverse vending machines.
The avoided greenhouse gas emission equals the annual emissions of 2 million cars - each driving 10,000 kilometers.
Our metal recycling solutions recover 715,000 tons of metal every year.
That's the equivalent of 4,035 Boeing 747 airplanes.
The mining industry consumes 2%-3% of the world's energy. Our sensor-based sorters can reduce that consumption by 15%.
A 15% reduction in the mining industry's energy use is equivalent to turning off 52.8 billion CFL lightbulbs.
Our food sorting solutions inspect millions of individual produce pieces per hour, helping to divert 5-10% of this material from going to waste.
That's approximately 25,000 trucks per year in potatoes alone.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY TARGETS AND CURRENT STATUS
In 2015 TOMRA will continue its existing activities while developing a new program for the next five years.
activities. It will also be necessary to assess the risks and opportunities that TOMRA could encounter to ensure that TOMRA is prepared for future challenges. Lastly, it will be important to consider the needs and expectations of the different stakeholders.
In 2014 TOMRA also started a review of its culture and values. A company's values provide the foundation for the way a company operates and are central in ensuring that TOMRA and its employees do business responsibly. TOMRA's values are reflected in its CR Statement and Codes of Conduct for employees and other business partners.
At TOMRA, it is the role of the Board of Directors to ensure that the Group's corporate governance, environmental, social and ethical practices are sufficient. The Corporate Responsibility Committee assists the Board by monitoring and reviewing TOMRA's practices and policies in this area.
TOMRA was one of the first to recognize that a better environment is better for business and has been a leader in creating solutions for resource productivity for four decades. TOMRA is still constantly striving to improve its own practices and optimize its own resources - led by the spirit of innovation. TOMRA signed the UN Global Compact at the end of 2009 as it prepared to expand its environmental program to include other topics. It was, therefore, natural that the Corporate Responsibility (CR) Program should be linked to the ten principles of the United Nations Global Compact. The topics covered by the CR Program and the relevant area of the UN Global Compact are shown in the table below.
As a member of the UN Global Compact, TOMRA aims to consistently promote doing business responsibly and implement the principles of the UN Global Compact. The following pages form part of TOMRA's annual Communication on Progress.
TOMRA's current CR Program runs until the end of 2015 and its objectives have either already been met or are on target (see table). As a result, in 2015 TOMRA will continue its existing activities while developing a new program for the next five years. The starting point for the new program will be TOMRA's Statement of Corporate Responsibility and the Group's strategic plan for its operations as it is important that TOMRA's objectives are aligned and that corporate responsibility continues to be integrated into TOMRA's ongoing
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY

TOMRA's mission is to create sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity so that its products and services contribute to better use of the world's limited resources.
Over the past few years, TOMRA has implemented a number of initiatives to reduce its direct emissions as part of meeting its objective of reducing eco-intensity by 25% by the end of 2015. As previously reported and shown in the graphs (below), TOMRA has already achieved the target for energy consump tion and greenhouse gas emissions. This was achieved partly through specific investments to reduce fuel consumption in TOMRA's vehicle fleet, and partly from a move out of carbonintensive activities.
TOMRA's environmental targets are part of its Corporate Responsibility programme. As mentioned earlier in the report, targets for the new programme that will start in 2016 will be developed and agreed by the management team and Board of Directors during 2015.
In recent years TOMRA has invested significantly in new facilities in a number of locations.
In 2014 the new customer centre for TOMRA Sorting – Recycling in Germany was officially opened. The centre represents best practice in recycling management as it is built from sustainable materials and is extremely energy efficient, which is also a reflection of TOMRA's values. As a result, TOMRA is proud that the new facility has been officially designated a 'green building'. Qualifying criteria for this

accreditation in Rhineland-Palatinate include energy use at least 25 percent lower than the already strict German standard along with requirements covering water efficiency, use of materials and resources, and ecological standards inside the building.
TOMRA's new production and distribution facility in Slovakia, which also opened in 2014, is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and incorporates sustainable solutions such as LED lighting. This facility will become the main production centre for TOMRA Sorting Solutions and it also meets strict environ mental standards, which again is in line with TOMRA's mis sion to lead the resource revolution.
This year's climate change account shows a slight reduction in direct emissions (scope 1 + 2) from TOMRA's operations. This is mainly due to lower diesel consumption, a result of initiatives in the United States started in 2012. The complete environ mental report is available on the following pages.

NOTES
Reported data for continuing operations only; 2013 has been adjusted to exclude TOMRA Compaction.
Emissions have been calculated using the GHGProtocol calculation tools (www.ghgprotocol.org), and 'Waste Management Options and Climate Change' (ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/studies/pdf/climate_change.pdf).
1. Beverage container collection through RVMs, TOMRA Collection (Reverse Vending)
Calculated carbon dioxide savings based on the total number of beverage containers collected through TOMRA's over 70.000 RVM installations; more than 35 billion units annually. All glass beverage containers are assumed to be non-refillable, giving significantly lower assumed weight. Split between packaging types is based on beverage consumption data and TOMRA estimates. The full benefit of collecting and recycling the beverage containers into new material, versus landfill, is included in the calculation.
2. Packaging material transport and handling, TOMRA Collection (Material Handling)
Carbon dioxide saving based on the tonnage of beverage container material transported and handled by TOMRA in USA. The full benefit of collecting and recycling beverage containers into new material, as opposed to landfill, is included in the calculation, meaning that some of the saving is also included under 'Beverage container collection through RVMs.

RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS
TOMRA is committed to doing business ethically and operates with zero tolerance for corruption. TOMRA respects internationally recognized human rights principles and does not accept any form of discrimination or harassment. TOMRA has developed a Corporate Responsibility Statement and Code of Conduct along with other policies and guidelines that apply to TOMRA's employees and business practices worldwide. Policies that apply to TOMRA Group have been published on the company intranet and local versions of selected policies are also available.
Information on company policies is also regularly included in internal company presentations. In addition, further information sessions and/or in-depth workshops are held throughout the year.
Awareness of and compliance with TOMRA's policies is monitored as part of internal audit and the non-financial reporting process. This is part of ensuring that the TOMRA team promotes the core values by acting responsibly at all times.
FOCUS ON EMPLOYEES
TOMRA aims to be an attractive employer and promotes equal employment opportunity.
The Group Talent Program was initiated in 2012 to support TOMRA's strategic goal of developing and retaining key employees in the organization, and preparing them for leadership/next-generation positions. In June 2014 the first participants completed the final module on leadership and presented the results of their projects to Group Management and the Board of Directors. The results demonstrated the value of the program for both the individuals involved and TOMRA. The participants in the second program took part in the first module in December.
TOMRA also recognizes the importance of attracting the best people and being an employer of choice. TOMRA's policies ensure that TOMRA recruits and promotes individuals on the basis of their qualifications and performance. When recruiting, TOMRA shall prioritize attracting and recruiting women and ethnic minorities to positions in which they may be historically underrepresented to achieve a better workplace balance over time.
ECONOMIC IMPACT
TOMRA reports the value distributed to different stakeholder groups as a means of measuring the impact of its activities. These stakeholders include employees, shareholders and society in general.
In 2014 TOMRA created added value of over 1,600 MNOK, a slight increase compared to 2013 (continuing operations). This was distributed to stakeholders as shown in the chart below.
TOMRA measures employee satisfaction through a regular online survey. The survey was initially done annually as a new global survey was rolled out throughout the company. Now that a base has been established, the survey will be done every other year to allow time for the results to be analyzed and any identified actions to be implemented. The next survey will be taken in fourth quarter 2015.
The survey has been a useful management tool and a number of actions have already been implemented in different parts of the company to address identified employee concerns. As a result, TOMRA was listed among the top ten in the category of medium-sized companies in Norway following the 2013 survey.
VALUE DISTRIBUTED 2014

SOCIAL AND ETHICAL REVIEW
the right to acquire and dispose of up to 0.5 million treasury shares, for the purpose of fulfilling the employee share purchase program. In addition, the Board was granted the right to issue up to 14.8 million shares in connection with any mergers and acquisitions.
EQUAL TREATMENT OF SHAREHOLDERS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH CLOSE ASSOCIATES
TOMRA has only one class of shares and each share entitles the holder to one vote.
All transactions in own shares are performed on the market at market price, in accordance with good stock exchange practice in Norway.
Related party transactions are covered by TOMRA's Code of Conduct, which also applies to Board members. Any member of the Board or Group management should immediately notify the relevant person, if a potential conflict of interest occurs. There were no material transactions between the company and related parties that required a third party evaluation during 2014.
FREELY TRADED SHARES
The shares of TOMRA Systems ASA are listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange and are freely negotiable.
GENERAL MEETINGS
In accordance with TOMRA's Articles of Association, the AGM shall be held no later than the end of June each year, with at least 21 days written notice given to each shareholder. The 2014 AGM was held on 29th April.
The Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance also recommends that appropriate arrangements are made for the annual general meeting to vote separately on each candidate nominated for election to the company's corporate bodies. The Nomination Committee and the Board have decided (in line with most Norwegian companies) not to follow this recommendation, as the composition of these bodies is meant to cover an appropriate range of skills and backgrounds, and a separate election of each member could interfere with this intention. In addition, according to Norwegian law, the Board has to comprise of at least 40% female directors.
NOMINATION COMMITTEE
The Nomination Committee consists of three members elected for one year at a time by the General Meeting, as required by the Articles of Association. The charter for the Nomination Committee was last approved by the General Meeting in April 2011. The membership of the committee and details of how to submit proposals for new board members are available on TOMRA.com under "TOMRA Leadership."
BOARD OF DIRECTORS
The TOMRA Board is composed of five shareholder elected directors and two employee representatives (who are not part of senior management). The shareholder elected directors are proposed by the Nomination Committee based on a number of criteria to ensure a broad range of abilities and experience. The shareholder elected directors are ultimately selected by the shareholders.
Four of the five shareholder elected directors are independent. The fifth is Jan Svensson, CEO of Latour, TOMRA's largest shareholder. The Board Committees consist of members of TOMRA's Board, chosen by the Board to reflect a balance of abilities and interests.
The Board held seven board meetings in 2014 and the attendance at the meetings was 94 percent. In addition, the Audit Committee held four meetings and the Compensation and Organizational Development Committee and the Corporate Responsibility committee both met twice during the year.
BOARD ACTIVITIES
The Board meets at least four times a year. In 2014 seven board meetings were held, of which two were by phone. Instructions for the Board and charters for each of the Board committees have been prepared and duly approved by the relevant body. An Audit Committee, a Compensation and Organizational Development Committee and a Corporate Responsibility Committee have been established to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities.
RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL Internal Control Environment and Risk Management Systems
The Board is ultimately responsible for TOMRA's systems of internal control and for reviewing their effectiveness. Responsibility for individual areas of control has been allocated through the CEO down to the respective member of Group Management. The system is designed to manage, rather than eliminate, the risk of failing to achieve business and financial reporting objectives. The system can therefore only provide a reasonable, but never absolute, assurance against material errors, flaws or losses.
Processes exist for identifying, evaluating and managing material risks. Methods used by the Board and the Audit Committee to evaluate the quality of the corporation's internal control include:
- Review of the auditing plans for both the external and internal audit
- Review of reports from management as well as internal and external auditors on the systems of internal control and any weaknesses identified
- Discussions with management concerning the actions to be taken to address problem areas
IMPLEMENTATION AND REPORTING OF CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
At TOMRA, corporate governance is defined as the processes and control features that have been established to protect the interests of TOMRA's shareholders and other stakeholders such as employees, suppliers and customers.
TOMRA's Corporate Governance Policy has been approved by the Board of Directors and is available on TOMRA's corporate website (www.tomra.com).
The Board of Directors has decided that TOMRA will comply with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance. As a result, this section is structured in the same way as the Code of Practice (which is available on www.nues. no.) The only known deviation from the Code is described under "General Meetings" below.
TOMRA's values are described in its corporate vision, mission, core values and policies – which can be found on the TOMRA website.
TOMRA aims to lead the resource revolution, enabling better utilization of the world's natural resources, and is committed to doing business ethically and with zero tolerance for corruption. To support these aims, TOMRA has developed and implemented a Code of Conduct and Corporate Responsibility Statement. These and further information on TOMRA's CR program can be found under "ABOUT US / Corporate Responsibility" on the TOMRA website.
BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
TOMRA is a leading global creator of sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity within the business streams of reverse vending, material recovery, recycling, mining, and food. The directors' report describes the Group's activities in more detail, including goals and main strategies, and the market is kept informed through investor presentations in connection with the quarterly reports and other events.
EQUITY AND DIVIDENDS
As of 31 December 2014, Group equity totaled NOK 3,359 million, an increase of 19 percent from last year. The equity percent was 51 percent. TOMRA's policy is to distribute 40 to 60 percent of the Group's earnings per share as dividend. When deciding the annual dividend level, the Board takes into consideration expected cash flows, capital expenditure plans, financing requirements and the need for appropriate financial flexibility. For 2013, a dividend of NOK 1.35 was paid out per share (53 percent of EPS). For 2014, the Board has proposed a dividend of NOK 1.45 per share.
The Board's authorizations to increase share capital and to buy back shares are limited to specific purposes and are granted for a period no longer than the next general meeting. The authorization is given by the Annual General Meeting. At the 2014 Annual General Meeting, the Board was granted
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

The Audit Committee includes three board members and all Board members receive minutes from each Audit Committee meeting. The main features of the risk and control framework are outlined below:
Risk Management
The Board is responsible for approving the Group's strategy, its principal markets and the level of acceptable risk. It has ensured that appropriate risk management processes to identify the key risks facing the business have been implemented and that those risks are managed effectively.
Control Environment
An organizational structure with defined levels of responsibility and delegation of authority to appropriately qualified management has been established. A chart of authority documents each level of authority throughout the organization.
Matters reserved for the Board are clearly defined and appropriate authorization limits and reporting procedures have been implemented.
TOMRA's quality and environmental management systems are based on the international ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 management systems standards. TOMRA's primary R&D and production units have been certified according to these standards. This ensures that its internal systems and procedures are aligned with international "best practice" and that responsibility and authority for all important tasks are appropriately allocated.
Control Activities
Internal control procedures have been tailored to the requirements of individual business activities.
Controls for areas possessing particularly high inherent risk include clear guidelines for delegation of authority, segregation of duties, and requirements for regular reporting and reviews.
The Audit Committee assists the Board in monitoring the process for identifying, evaluating and managing risks, considering internal and external audit reports, and reviewing the Group's financial statements.
Monitoring Systems
Line management is responsible for the operation of internal control routines and these routines are subject to independent review by internal audit and, where appropriate, by the corporation's external auditor and external regulators. The reports of all these bodies on internal control are reviewed by the Audit committee on behalf of the Board. The Audit Committee ensures that, where necessary, appropriate corrective action is taken.
Internal audits are performed by the Group Controller and the Group Accounting Manager. In their roles as internal auditors they report directly to the Audit Committee. The internal audit team carries out independent assessments of risk and the adequacy of related internal controls within the corporation. Findings and recommendations for strengthening the control framework are agreed with local management and the implementation of agreed changes is monitored by the internal audit team. The Audit Committee reviews the internal audit findings and proposals concerning improvements to material areas, coverage and performance and considers significant findings and recommendations.
The internal audit team has unrestricted access to all records, personnel and property of the corporation to collect such information as is necessary for the performance of its work. The Audit Committee, on behalf of the Board, has reviewed the effectiveness of the corporation's systems of internal control for 2014 and the period leading up to the presentation of the 2014 financial statements. As might be expected in a corporation of TOMRA's size and complexity, a small number of deviations were identified during the period under review. Actions to rectify identified inconsistencies have been taken.
FINANCIAL REPORTING
TOMRA Group prepares and presents its financial statements in accordance with current standards and interpretations under IFRS as adopted by the EU. Each company prepares monthly accounts and the financial data is consolidated and checked at several levels before being presented for review by Group Management. Additional reporting is required for the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements. Information and training on accounting issues and TOMRA's reporting process is provided through TOMRA's Finance seminar and local events.
REMUNERATION TO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
The General Meeting sets the Board's annual remuneration based on a proposal from the Nomination Committee. Note 14 of the Financial Statements discloses all remuneration to board members and senior executives.
PRINCIPLES FOR REMUNERATION OF SENIOR EXECUTIVES 2014-2015
The term "senior executives" applies to the CEO and other members of Group management.
Salary and other employment terms for senior executives shall be competitive to ensure that TOMRA can attract and retain skilled leaders. Salary should include both fixed and variable elements. The fixed salary should reflect the individual's area of responsibility and performance over time. Principles for remuneration shall be allowed to vary in accordance with local conditions. The remuneration structure shall be based on such factors as position, expertise, experience, conduct and performance. The variable salary shall not exceed 50% of the fixed annual salary and be based on the achievement of specific performance targets by TOMRA Group and/or the respective manager's unit.
The Board has appointed a Compensation and Organizational Development Committee, headed by the Chairman of the Board, to monitor decisions on matters regarding remuneration and terms and conditions for senior executives. The performance goals for the CEO are proposed by the Chairman of the Board and approved by the Board. Goals for the other senior executives are determined by the CEO and reviewed by the Compensation Committee. The goals are operational and related to financial targets, such as profit from operating activities, return on capital employed and market related performance objectives.
The CEO's remuneration package, and any adjustments thereof, are agreed between the CEO and the Chairman and approved by the Board. The remuneration packages for the other senior executives, including adjustments of these, are agreed between the CEO and the respective manager. The terms of these agreements are reviewed first by the Compensation Committee and finally by the Board of TOMRA.
In addition to regular fixed and variable salary, TOMRA has had a cash-based Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) since 2010, where managers could receive a bonus based upon the return the company generates for its shareholders measured against NASDAQ. For 2014, the dividend adjusted performance of the TOMRA share needed to exceed NASDAQ by at least 2.5 percent in the period 31 December 2011 to 31 December 2014 to generate earnings under the plan. Full earnings would have been achieved if the over-performance exceeded 20 percent. The TOMRA share increased by 52% in the period, dividend adjusted, while NASDAQ increased 82% during the same period. Consequently no earnings were generated under this plan during 2014.
As communicated in last year's annual report, the Board has decided to establish a new LTIP-plan, replacing the prior. The new plan is based upon improvements in the Group's reported EPS. The rationale for changing the plan has been to make the performance metric more relevant for management by measuring success based upon improvements in profit (which management can influence), instead of share price development (which is less influenced by individual performance, particularly when measured against NASDAQ).
Under the new system, the Board has established EPS targets for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The targets are established as intervals, where the participants can earn from 30% (if the minimum target is met) up to 100% (if the maximum target is met) of one year's salary.
The plan is consequently capped at one year's salary. Fifty percent of earnings after tax has to be invested in TOMRA shares and must be kept for at least three years. If sold earlier, all proceeds from the sale belong to TOMRA.
The first measurement day will be in February 2016, when actual performance for 2015 is measured against the targets. A detailed calculation of the 2015 performance will be included in the 2015 annual report.
In addition to fixed and variable salary, other benefits such as company car, health insurance, interest- and installment free loans, newspaper and telephone might be provided. The total value of these benefits should be modest and only account for a limited part of the total remuneration package.
Senior Executives participate in the same pension plans as other employees within the unit in which they are employed. No special pension plans have been established for senior executives. The notification period for senior executives shall be three to six months, with the exception of members employed in the US, where fixed length contracts may be utilized.
The CEO is entitled to 12 months' severance pay due to termination by the company. No agreements shall be established that provide members of senior executives any automatic right to more than 24 months of severance pay. A detailed account of the remuneration of each senior executive, including the LTIP, is available in note 14 in the financial statements.
Except for the launch of the new LTIP-plan, the principles and guidelines for management remuneration for 2015 have not changed materially from those approved in 2014, which were presented to the general assembly in April 2014. The policies concerning remuneration of senior executives and the setting of salaries have been in line with the established guidelines throughout 2014.
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TOMRA provides investors with financial and other information in the quarterly reports and other presentations. This information is freely available to interested parties in the "Investor Relations" section of the TOMRA website along with the financial calendar for 2015.
TAKEOVERS
TOMRA's guidelines and practices are in line with the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance.
AUDITOR
The independent auditor is elected by the general meeting and is responsible for auditing the Group accounts. The independent auditor attends the meetings of the Audit Committee and also presents a plan for each year's audit. The independent auditor also meets with the Board of Directors at least once each year without the presence of TOMRA Group Management.

When deciding the annual dividend level, the Board has taken into consideration expected cash flows, capital expenditure plans, financing requirements and the need for appropriate financial flexibility. The Board of Directors has recommended consequently a dividend distribution of NOK 1.45 per share (59 percent of EPS), up from NOK 1.35 in 2013 (53 percent of EPS).
EPS was NOK 2.44 in 2014, down from NOK 2.55 in 2013, negatively influenced by loss from discontinued operations at NOK 0.41 per share. EPS from continuing business increased by 10 percent.

Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs) are developed in Norway and mainly produced by third parties in Poland and at the wholly owned subsidiary TOMRA Production AS in Norway, utilizing parts sourced from low cost countries (China). The machines are sold via the parent company to subsidiaries and distributors, primarily in Europe and North America. Activity within the parent company reflects therefore the level of sales of machines and parts to end-customers within the RVM segment. The number of RVMs sold in 2014 was stable, compared to 2013.

Ordinary EPS Adjustment for discontinued operations and EU penalty In April 2014 TOMRA Systems ASA entered into a EUR 120 million multicurrency revolving credit facility with DNB and SEB as mandated lead arrangers, each providing 50 percent of the facility amount. The facility was split into two tranches of EUR 60 million each, with a tenor of 3+1+1 years and 5+1+1 years respectively.
DIVIDEND
TOMRA SYSTEMS ASA
Net financial items was minus NOK 220 million, negatively influenced by write-down of shares in TOMRA Compaction AB of NOK 45 million and exchange rate loss of NOK 137 million. The exchange loss was mainly related to loss on bank loans nominated in EUR. At Group level this loans works as a hedge against investments in foreign (EUR-nominated) subsidiaries, and has consequently no profit and loss impact in the consolidated accounts.
DISPOSITION OF 2014 PROFIT
The 2014 net loss should be allocated as follows:
| Loss after tax: | NOK | -54.6 million |
|---|---|---|
| From retained earnings: | NOK | 268.9 million |
| Dividend: | NOK | 214.3 million |
The Board of Directors believes that there is no reasonable cause to question the ability of TOMRA Group and the parent company to continue its operations in the foreseeable future and hence confirms that the accounts have been prepared on a going concern basis and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU for TOMRA Group and Norwegian accounting principles (NGAAP) for TOMRA Systems ASA, and that the Group, after the dividend payment, has sufficient equity and liquidity to fulfill both its short term and long term obligations.

THE FRAMEWORK GOVERNING TOMRA'S OPERATIONS
TOMRA's reverse vending technology provides an efficient collection and handling system for deposit of beverage containers in retail locations. Correct recognition as well as automated sorting and storage of empty containers reduces retailers' handling costs to a minimum. This idea formed the basis for the establishment of TOMRA in 1972. The company's growth since its inception has mainly been driven by the implementation of beverage container deposit systems in new markets, either through voluntary or legislatively enforced arrangements.
Early in the 1990s TOMRA expanded its activities with the addition of integrated solutions for covering a greater part of the beverage container recycling value chain. Automated compaction of used non-refillable containers contributes to the reduction of transport costs and subsequent handling. Electronic collection and processing of transaction data from the reverse vending machines also assures secure and cost effective administration of the deposit funds and materials.
This expansion of the business model has been instrumental to TOMRA's growth in the North American market. Despite all the documented advantages of a deposit system, few markets have implemented deposit schemes in recent years. The recognition that it could take time before new markets accepted deposit as an effective system for recycling, led in 2004 to the decision that TOMRA would expand its operations by moving into other areas within the value chain for collecting and processing waste. As a result, TOMRA acquired Titech, which provided efficient industrial solutions for recognizing and sorting of waste.
After first mainly operating in the market of plastic and paper recycling, TOMRA expanded in 2006 into metal recycling,
and in 2008 into mining (ore-sorting), where TOMRA technology now increases the efficiency and lifetime of mines. In 2011 and 2012, in line with this strategy, TOMRA took a new step forward with its entry into the food sorting industry, where it's proven recognition technology is now utilized to sort food based on quality, size and other characteristics. TOMRA has therefore gone through several stages of transformation; where the recycling industry is now only one out of several industries where TOMRA will have a presence going forward.
In order to maximize synergies among the acquired entities and meet its customers' and the world's challenges and opportunities, TOMRA has merged the existing brands under one strong and unified brand – One TOMRA, under the mission to create sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity, focused on the optimization of customers' resource use. With increasing world population and higher consumption levels, it is clear that resource productivity must increase on a global scale to ensure sustainable development. Society is at the dawn of a resource revolution, and TOMRA's vision statement, "Leading the resource revolution," is what the company is doing by extending its reach to include business streams that create solutions within food sorting, mining, recycling and material recovery. Focusing on resource optimization, process efficiency, and interconnectivity of systems that help customers improve financial results and reduce environmental impact.
TOMRA's path forward is to improve the world's understanding of the benefits of creating and investing in solutions that can move us past the false choice between earth and economy (change mindsets to act and move), producing new work opportunities to ensure competitiveness, growth and work with purpose while fostering a culture that both inspires and motivates its people and customers.
In 2014, TOMRA has operated with two business areas and six business streams:
TOMRA COLLECTION SOLUTIONS (TCS):

-
- Reverse Vending (development, production, sales and service of reverse vending machines and related data management systems)
-
- Material Recovery (pick-up, transportation and processing of empty beverage containers on behalf of beverage producers/fillers on the US East Coast and in Canada)
-
- Compaction (small and mid-sized compaction machines)
TOMRA SORTING SOLUTIONS (TSS):
-
- Food (sorting and processing technology for the fresh and processed food industries)
-
- Recycling (sorting systems for waste and metal material streams)
-
- Mining (ore sorting systems for the mining industry)
The Compaction business was divested at the end of 2014, see further explanation under TOMRA Collection Solutions below.
In 2014, the TSS business area accounted for 41 percent of the Group's total operating revenues, up from 40 percent in 2013 and 36 percent in 2012. This percentage is expected to increase in the years to come, as TOMRA pursues a strategy of expanding its sorting technology and competence into new areas.
TOMRA COLLECTION SOLUTIONS TCS - Revenues
TOMRA's activities within this business area include primarily the development, production, sale, lease and service of automated recycling systems in Europe and North America, including data administration systems which monitor the volume of collected materials and associated deposit transactions. In 2014 revenues within this business area amounted to NOK 2,823 million, up from NOK 2,637 million in 2013. Adjusted for currency changes, revenues increased by 1 percent. 1 900 2 100 2 300 2 500 2 700 2 900
EUROPE
Gross contribution was stable at 42 percent. EBITA increased from NOK 526 million to NOK 561 million. Adjusted for currencies and one-time costs, profit was up 1 percent. 1 500 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
The market development was stable in most European markets in 2014 and TOMRA has maintained its market share. In Germany, which introduced deposit legislation in 2006, retail chains have launched and started executing plans to replace RVMs installed during the first years after the deposit introduction. TOMRA is well positioned to serve the German customers with economical and technically versatile RVM solutions.
TOMRA's customers within this segment are primarily in the food retail industry in Europe and USA, an industry that is relatively unaffected by financial downturns since the consumption of food and beverages remains fairly stable through economic cycles. Food retail chains in general consider a well-functioning container return system to be an important competitive advantage, as consumers tend to choose which store they go to based upon the convenience and reliability of a store's return facilities. This applies both in times of economic upturn and downturn. With approximately 50 percent of the segment's revenues originating from service, and a significant part of the new machine sales being replacement, the year over year change in activities will normally be limited.

NORTH AMERICA
The number of drinking containers going through TOMRA's Material Recovery infrastructure was slightly up in 2014, but the through-put volumes in the reverse vending machines were slightly down. The lower volumes in the RVMs are explained by more containers being redeemed at conventional sites that do not utilize standard reverse vending technology. The North American organization has launched a volume builder project to offset these effects. TOMRA is also planning to capture a higher share of conventional volumes by leveraging the recently developed depot solution.
NEW MARKETS
The existence of deposit systems is a crucial driver for most of the activities within TOMRA Collection Solutions. The creation of new systems, and changes to established systems, will consequently impact TOMRA's performance significantly. In 2014, Lithuania and Croatia showed a positive development, and now represent an opportunity for TOMRA in the years to come:
TECHNOLOGY
In fourth quarter 2013, TOMRA launched the T-9, the first of a new generation of reverse vending machines (RVM) based
TOMRA COMPACTION
Within Reverse Vending, TOMRA operates with two different business models in North America. One is a sales model, where machines are sold to the food retail stores in the same way as in Europe; the other is a through-put lease model, where TOMRA maintains ownership of the installed machines and receives payment according to the number of containers handled by the machines. The installed base for the two models at the end of 2014 was close to 9,000 machines on operational lease and a somewhat lower number for machines sold. Dividend 0,40 0,60 0,80 1,00 1,20 1,40 1,60
In addition to the Reverse Vending business, TOMRA picks up, transports, processes, and sells used beverage containers on behalf of beverage producers in the eastern United States and in Canada (Material recovery). In 2014 this business segment contributed total revenues of USD 110 million. 0,00 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 on TOMRA Flow Technology. T-9 features the first ever 360 degree recognition system applied inside an RVM and enables faster and cleaner collection of beverage containers, including containers that until now could not be collected in RVMs. The machine is improving consumer experience due to its increased capacity and leads consequently to shorter queues during peak hours in the stores.

The machine has been well received by customers, and more than 1,000 T-9 machines were installed in 2014. The co re modules, such as the ring, infeed system and the user-interface, are being deployed into additional machines as part of upgrading the entire product offering. A cost reduction program was executed during 2014 as part of improving product cost structures (high initial costs) and the cost targets were met. 0% 40% 50% 20% 10% 30% 60% 2014 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
In Lithuania, a national deposit system is assumed to be operational from February 2016. The market is expected to need up to 1,000 reverse vending machines over time and most of the machines will be on operational lease contracts. Business area revenue split Order intake As part of a strategy to become a leading global provider of recycling technology equipment and solutions, TOMRA acquired Orwak Group in 2005. Orwak Group, a provider of compaction solutions for recyclables such as cardboard, paper and plastics, sold large horizontal balers under the brand name Presona and smaller vertical balers under the brand name Orwak. Orwak Group would, together with TiTech (a provider of sensor based sorting systems for the recycling industry acquired in 2004), form the basis for the newly established business area "Industrial Processing Technology."

In Croatia, a deposit system for one-way beverage containers was established back in 2006. The system has however so far been unsuitable for automation as barcodes cannot be used for identification of containers and compaction has not been permitted. These hurdles are expected to be removed in 2015, thus opening up for more extensive use of reverse vending machines. TOMRA has formed a joint venture with a local distributor in the Croatian market to capture a share of what is believed to be a 1,000 machine opportunity over time.

The synergies between TiTech and Orwak Group were, however, limited and TiTech became instead the first building block of what is today known as TOMRA Sorting Solutions. After divesting Presona in 2010, the remaining parts of Orwak Group were integrated with TOMRA Collection Solutions. The main reason was to integrate sale and service of vertical balers with sale and service of reverse vending systems, hence leveraging potential front-end synergies based on overlapping customer segments. 0,00 0,20 0,40 0,60 0,80 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013
TOMRA Sorting Solutions offers significant economic and environmental benefits for major industries such as food processing, mining and recycling by increasing their productivity, yield, access to resources and reducing their costs. It is well positioned to respond to short and long term increases in resource demands required to construct living and working spaces for an ever growing and increasingly urbanized global population, demand for more and higher quality food products and requirements for a less carbon intensive society. TOMRA is positioned as world-wide leader in all the segments it serves. The projected short and long term business outlook is positive. Order intake 100 200 300 400 500 600
As a result of robust revenue generation but lower order intake in 2013, the order backlog was low at the beginning of 2014. Despite a good order intake throughout 2014, the revenue generation became more loaded towards year end, with a peak in the 4th quarter. Revenues within the business area amounted to NOK 1,926 million, up from NOK 1,784 million in 2013. Adjusted for currency changes, revenues increased by 3 percent. Gross contribution was stable at 45 percent. EBITA increased from NOK 199 million to NOK 204 million. Adjusted for currencies and one-time costs related to moving production and merging R&D/back office functions (NOK 25 million in 2014), profit was up 11 percent.
In retrospect the actual synergies between compaction and reverse vending have proven to be insignificant. Moreover, TOMRA's former strategy of providing recycling technology equipment has changed into creating sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity. Selling compaction equipment does not fill a natural role in this strategy. As a consequence of TOMRA's strategic shift and the lack of tangible synergies between compaction solutions and reverse vending solutions, TOMRA divested TOMRA Compaction (Orwak) in December 2014. The transaction was closed in January 2015, and TOMRA received a total consideration of SEK 110 million, free of cash and interest bearing debt. The transaction generated a loss of NOK 64 million, and the activities from TOMRA Compaction have been classified as discontinued operations in the profit and loss statement. The 2013 figures have been restated accordingly, and the assets and liabilities following the transaction were classified as held for sale in the balance sheet as of 31 December 2014. 1Q,10 2Q,10 3Q,10 4Q,10 1Q,11 2Q,11 3Q,11 4Q,11 1Q,12 2Q,12 3Q,12 4Q,12 1Q,13 2Q,13 3Q,13 4Q,13 1Q,14 2Q,14 3Q,14 4Q,14 Order backlog - 100 200 300 400 500 600 m
The overall market situation remained favorable for sorting solutions and as a result, the 2014 order intake grew by 22 percent. (16 percent measured in EUR). All sectors were growing and the strongest growth was recorded in mining, which despite the generally pressed investment climate improved thanks to the new high volume sorter platform which enables miners to reduce operating costs significantly. The market situation in recycling remained positive in the areas plastics recycling and municipal household waste, whilst metals recycling (including E-waste) continued to be slow and pressed by lower commodity prices. The food processing business remained robust. The potato sector has been affected by new plant investments resulting in fewer but larger orders (e.g. potato processing plants), and hence the order intake can vary from year to year. For most other products, the market remained robust and behaved more linear as a result of increases in capacity needs, more stringent food safety and quality requirements and needs driven by consumption of more packaged and processed food products as well as more healthy food such as nuts and dried fruits. 1Q.09 2Q.09 3Q,09 4Q,09 1Q,10 2Q,10 3Q,10 4Q,10 1Q,11 2Q,11 3Q,11 4Q,11 1Q,12 2Q,12 3Q,12 4Q,12 1Q,13 2Q,13 3Q,13 4Q,13 1Q,14 2Q,14 3Q,14 4Q,14 Sorting Collection Business area revenue split 0% 40% 50% 20% 10% 30% 60% 80% 90% 90% 70% 100% 2014 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014

LEVERAGING TECHNOLOGY LEADERSHIP
Leveraging technology synergies, increasing adaptability and shortening time-to-market are core elements of TOMRA's strategy to merge several sensor-based sorting activities under one brand. This shall enable TOMRA to better serve global markets and respond to the variations in needs and cross-breed sensor technologies allowing for new cuttingedge solutions and sorting capabilities. The common sorting platform (CSP) is the strategy TOMRA applies to leverage synergies between the business segments food, recycling and mining. The basic sorting principles are conceptually the same across the segments, enabling TOMRA to create a set of building blocks that are developed once and used again and again. Benefits include increased productivity and speed in product development, reduced development and after-market costs and more efficient use of human resources. The development phase of the CSP has been completed and all new products are being launched on this platform.
The latest cutting-edge examples include NIMBUS BSI, the latest technological breakthrough for nut and raisin processors allowing for unique chemical material identification, and the high speed sorting system for mining that quadrupled the sorting performance and opened up sorting applications to a new sector in the mining segment.
As the food business expands into new geographic domains we encounter new requirements. This to a large extent can be explained by differences in market structure and customer requirements. The North-American market, for example, is driven by large scale farming, distribution and processing
channels. Many Asian markets, on the contrary, are structured with smaller farms and processors.
The substantial launch program of new products based on CSP will bolster continued growth – including the first series of cost-effective and strategic mid-market product ranges that are designed to meet emerging requirements and broader markets including emerging markets:
-
- The ZEA is a sensor-based seed corn sorter to sort/grade by husk, defect, disease and size
-
- The Sentinel II (pre-grade' food sorter for whole and partial fruits and vegetables)
-
- The Falcon (cost-effective pre-sorter for the fresh cut industry)
-
- The Blizzard free-fall pulsed LED camera sorter is the most ideal and cost effective optical sorting solution for IQF vegetable
-
- The FPS, Field Potato sorter, is a new sensor-based food sorter for unwashed potatoes, removing soil clods, stones and foreign material
-
- The MODUS a new sensor-based technology for sizing of whole potatoes.
WORLD CLASS FACTORY IN SLOVAKIA
At the end of October 2014, TOMRA opened a new custombuilt assembly & test plant in Senec, Slovakia, for world-wide supply of sorting products for food, recycling and mining. The new plant replaces previous operations in Slovakia, Belgium and Germany, which cease production. The objectives for the consolidation of operations into one location include quality, short cycle time, better productivity and competitive cost structures.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES
Research and development activities are a high priority at TOMRA. R&D has a central role in the development of the individual technology units, and is closely connected to the local markets to ensure that TOMRA maintains its technological advantage. Research and development activities, including other future oriented projects, were expensed at NOK 198 million in 2014. The comparative figure for 2013 was NOK 187 million. In addition NOK 43 million was capitalized (2013: NOK 44 million). These activities were directed primarily toward the development of automated return systems (TOMRA Collection Solutions) in addition to further development of recognition and sorting technology in TOMRA Sorting Solutions.
FINANCIAL RISK
The Board of Directors is focused on ensuring that there is a systematic and considered approach to managing risk within all segments of the corporation, and views this as a prerequisite for long-term value creation for the company's shareholders, employees, and other stakeholders. Opportunities for growth shall always be considered against the associated risks. TOMRA faces normal business risks related to contractual agreements with, for example, customers and suppliers. In addition there are several macro trends that can affect the industry in which TOMRA operates. A reduction in recycling targets and ambitions, as well as falling material commodity prices would negatively influence TOMRA as the need for advanced recycling technology would become less obvious. TSS - Revenues 1 000 1 200 1 400 1 600 1 800 2 000
TOMRA's operations are also influenced by political decisions, specifically with regard to deposit legislation. If a country or state decides to remove its existing deposit system there will be limited incentives for TOMRA's customers to maintain current or invest in new TOMRA equipment. In some markets, like for example in the United States, an elimination of the deposit legislation would immediately dissolve the foundation for TOMRA's daily operations. On the other hand, the implementation or expansion of deposit systems in a country or state would create new growth opportunities for TOMRA. 0 400 200 600

Responsibility for financing, cash management and financial risk management is handled by the Finance Department within TOMRA Systems ASA. Historically, TOMRA has seldom experienced losses on accounts receivable, and the corporation's routines concerning credit approval are considered satisfactory. TOMRA's surplus cash is placed primarily in NOK with duration of less than six months. Interest-bearing debt is normally denominated in NOK or EUR, at interest rates fixed for a period of less than six months.

TOMRA is exposed to fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

advantage of forward exchange contracts to hedge future cash flows in foreign currencies.
With 90 percent of the balance sheet denominated in foreign currencies, TOMRA's equity will also be exposed to changes in currency exchange rates (most importantly EUR). To partly offset this effect, TOMRA aims to place external bank debt in the same currencies. In addition TOMRA has implemented the financial risk management systems one would expect given the size and complexity of the company's operations. A more extensive description of TOMRA's internal control pro cedures and systems for evaluating financial risk are provided on pages 21-22 in this report.
CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY AND GOVERNANCE - OUR SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL ENGAGEMENT
TOMRA makes a significant contribution to a cleaner and more sustainable world through its products and services. As a result, TOMRA has always had a significant focus on the environment, measuring and reporting its environmental per formance since 1998. As TOMRA expands its focus to address the other corporate responsibility (CR) areas, the Board sup ports TOMRA's membership of the UN Global Compact, which provides a recognized framework for integrating CR principles into operations and strategies. This annual report forms the basis of TOMRA's Communication on Progress, required annually by the UN Global Compact.
TOMRA Systems ASA is also certified according to the ISO 14001 standard for environmental leadership. TOMRA's fiveyear environmental program has been expanded to include other CR topics, with particular focus on corruption and other risk areas. Further details of TOMRA's corporate responsibil ity targets and impact on the environment are presented in TOMRA's Corporate Responsibility report on pages 12-19 of this report.
ORGANIZATION, HEALTH AND SAFETY
The number of employees in the TOMRA Group was 2,448 at the end of 2014, up from 2,406 at the end of 2013. In Norway the number of employees decreased from 270 at year-end 2013 to 268 at the end of 2014.
TOMRA facilitates equal opportunity for professional and personal development for all employees and does not discrim inate on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, natural origin, age, disability, sexual orientation or veteran status. These are important principles that are firmly anchored in the company's Corporate Responsibility Statement and the Code of Conduct and communicated to all employees.
TOMRA uses an international survey coordinated by the organization "Great Place to Work" that also rates how well employees consider the company lives up to its principles. The participation rate has been above 80% and the feedback from employees is in general encouraging. In 2014, TOMRA was
named one of the top 10 employers in Norway.
The Board of Directors considers the principles and guidelines the company has in place for discrimination and equal access to be sufficient, and that no further actions are necessary to satisfy legal requirements.
Female employees made up 18 percent of TOMRA's work force and held 18 percent of its management positions at the end of 2014, a change from 18 and 16 percent respectively in 2013. Three of TOMRA's seven board directors are women.
The number of job-related injuries in TOMRA requiring med ical attention beyond basic first aid was 74, down from 107 in 2013. Most of these instances occurred within TOMRA's material recovery activities in the USA, which involve han dling crushed glass and heavy lifting, although the higher number in 2013 can be attributed to adverse winter weather and other temporary factors. TOMRA continuously strives to reduce the injury rate and has implemented further preventa tive measures after identifying more contributing factors. The absence rate due to illness in Tomra Systems ASA increased from 2.4 percent in 2013 to 3.2 percent in 2014.
Tomra Systems ASA is certified according to ISO 9001 and this standard is used to guide the company's quality assur ance procedures. TOMRA also applies an internal manage ment system that incorporates goal- and result-orientation throughout the entire organization, including performance and leadership evaluation.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE - BOARD DEVELOPMENTS
TOMRA defines corporate governance as those processes and control structures which are established to protect the interests of the company's shareholders and other stakeholder groups. TOMRA's guidelines for corporate governance, core values and leadership principles are aligned to ensure sustain able development of the company. These guidelines include the role of the Board and its various committees, requirements concerning the impartiality of its board members, and board compensation. TOMRA's corporate governance report can be found on pages 20 to 23 in this report. TOMRA's corporate governance policy can be found on www.tomra.com.
At the ordinary general meeting on 29 April 2014 Bernd Bothe resigned after four years' service and was replaced by Pierre Couderc. The other Board members were re-elected. No other changes have been made to the composition of the Board during 2014.
The Board held seven board meetings in 2014 and the attendance at the meetings was 94 percent. In addition, the audit committee held four meetings and the compensation and organizational development committee and the corporate responsibility committee both met twice during the year.
PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE
Due to the recent expansion, the Group's operations today are more robust and less dependent on individual markets than previously. Even if short-run fluctuations in the demand for TOMRA's solutions may occur, the company will in the long run be able to capitalize on strong favorable macro trends both in the food processing and the recycling industry as well as other "machine vision" related industries. These trends include increased population, higher food prices, increased focus on food safety, limited resources, increasing per capita waste levels, higher energy prices, stricter waste recycling regulations, greater environmental awareness, and rising demand for commodities.
TOMRA COLLECTION SOLUTIONS
CURRENCY
A weaker NOK is positive for TOMRA, both because the Group has significant activities abroad that are denominated in foreign currencies and appear therefore more profitable measured in NOK, and because TOMRA has a certain cost base in NOK tied to development activities and headquarter functions. For a broader review of currency sensitivities, refer to note 19.

THE TOMRA SHARE
The number of TOMRA shareholders decreased from 6,041 at the end of 2013 to 5,763 at the end of 2014. The amount of shares held by Norwegian residents at the end of 2014 was 27 percent, up from 23 percent at the end of 2013. The TOMRA share price rose from NOK 56.50 at the end of 2013 to NOK 57.50 at the end of 2014. Taking into account the dividend of NOK 1.35 paid out in May 2014, the total return on the TOMRA share was 4 percent in 2014. The return on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 2014 amounted to 5 percent.
A total of 39 million TOMRA shares were traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in 2014, up from 37 million shares the year before. In December 2011, the Swedish company Investment AB Latour acquired Orkla's 15.5 percent stake in TOMRA, becoming TOMRA's largest shareholder. Latour has continued to acquire shares during 2012, 2013 and 2014, and at the end of the year Latour held 24.7 percent of the shares.
TOMRA values having a good dialogue with the investor market and has in recent years, including 2014, been named the best Nordic and/or Norwegian IR-company in its class several times in the annual awards presented by REGI/ Burson-Marsteller (which are based on interviews of analysts and investors).
Almost all supermarkets in the established deposit markets have automated their return of bottles and cans. These markets therefore represent mainly replacement opportunities and after-markets with regard to service. The global installed base of more than 70,000 machines generates a steady income stream with a high percentage of recurring revenues. In addition to this, new markets will from time to time materialize. Timing is however not possible to predict, as they are heavily dependent upon the outcome of political processes. The Board is currently not aware of any new process that has the potential to generate significant new revenues in 2015, although the ongoing initiatives in Lithuania and Croatia might contribute somewhat. In addition machine replacement in Germany represents an opportunity, as the first machines installed back in 2006 when deposit was introduced are due for renewal. The 2015 activity is consequently assumed to be slightly higher than in 2014 in this business area. Group - EBITA and margin 20%
The nominal value of each share is NOK 1. The total number of outstanding shares at year-end 2014 was 148,020,078, including 244,685 treasury shares held by TOMRA. The Board wishes to encourage the company's employees to invest in the company's shares. A share purchase program was therefore established in 2008 that offers employees the opportunity to buy shares at current market rates, and for every five shares held for at least one year, one share is given free of charge. The Board will recommend at the general assembly that the program should be continued, limited to a total of 500,000 shares per year.
TOMRA SORTING SOLUTIONS 700 600
This segment sells sorting and processing solutions. Important customer groups include food processing companies, waste management companies and various types of industries (including mining). With food sorting being the most important business stream, the volatility in the segment is expected to be somewhat less cyclical than historically, before TOMRA was present in food sorting. The demand for food will in general be fairly stable through the cycles, consequently not significantly influencing our customers, even though margins can fluctuate between the markets and product lines within this business stream. As long as the regions TOMRA operates in do not experience significant recessions, it is assumed that Sorting Solutions will continue to grow in the years to come, though with both quarterly and yearly fluctuations. 0 100 200 300 400 500 0% 2% 4% 6% 8% 10% 12% 14%
FINANCING
At year end TOMRA had committed credit lines of NOK 1,725 million, of which NOK 1,649 million was utilized. The first loan to expire is a EUR 10 million loan, which is due in June 2015. At the end of 2014 TOMRA had a gearing ratio equal to 1.4 (Net interest-bearing debt/EBITDA, measured on 2014 performance).
Taking the company's relatively stable cash flow, solid balance sheet and unrealized credit facility into consideration, the Board of Directors is of the opinion that the company has the necessary financial flexibility to take advantage of possible growth opportunities.

CONSOLIDATION AND ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES
Group - IFRS
GENERAL
Business concept and customers
Tomra Systems ASA (the "Company") is a company domiciled in Norway. The registered office is Drengsrudhagen 2, Asker.
TOMRA's goal is to create sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity, making sustainability profitable – with increased relevance and meaning. In parallel, TOMRA fosters a culture that inspires and motivates its people and customers.
Added value is created for each customer through excellence in service and innovation.
TOMRA's customers are mainly located in Europe and North America.
Significant accounting policies
The consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2014 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries and joint ventures (together referred to as the "Group") and the Group's interest in associates. The financial statements consist of the income statement, other comprehensive income, balance sheet, cash flow statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and notes to the accounts.
The financial statements were authorized for issue by the Directors on 17 February 2015, and will be presented for final approval at the general meeting on 23 April 2015. Until the final approval by the general meeting, the board can authorize changes to the financial statements.
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by EU, and the additional disclosure requirements of the Norwegian accounting act as at 31 December 2014.
(b) Basis of preparation
The financial statements are presented in NOK, rounded to the nearest one hundred thousand.
The financial statements are prepared based on historical cost, except for the following material items:
- Derivative financial instruments recognized at fair value through profit and loss.
- Defined benefit obligation recognized as the net total of the plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The financial statements are prepared on a going concern basis.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of determining carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
The accounting policies have been applied consistently by each Group entity.
CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES
(a) Consolidated companies
The consolidated accounts include the parent company Tomra Systems ASA and companies in which the parent company has control. The Group controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
Subsidiaries acquired or sold during the course of the year are included in the income statement as of the date that control commenced until the date that control ceased.
(b) Elimination of shares in subsidiaries Shares in subsidiaries are eliminated on the basis of the past equity method. The difference
between the book value of shares in subsidiaries and book value of the subsidiaries' equity at the time such shares were acquired is analyzed and posted to the balance sheet items to which the excess amounts relate. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price paid for acquisitions above net assets acquired and is tested for impairment at least annually.
(c) Currency translation for foreign subsidiaries
The profit and loss statements for foreign subsidiaries prepared in foreign currencies are translated on the basis of average exchange rates for the year. The balance sheet is converted on the basis of the exchange rates on December 31. Translation differences are shown as a separate item and charged to other comprehensive income (OCI).
When foreign subsidiaries are sold, completely or partially, the associated translation difference is recognized in the profit and loss.
(d) Non-controlling interest
The non-controlling interest's share of the net profit and equity are classified as separate items in the income statement and balance sheet.
Acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognized as a result of such transactions. The adjustments to non-controlling
(f) Internal transactions/intercompany
items
All purchases and sales between Group companies, intra Group expenses, as well as receivables and liabilities have been eliminated in the consolidated statements.
(g) Joint Ventures
Joint Ventures are those entities over whose activities the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic financial and operating decisions. Jointly controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method,
see note 16.
(h) Associates Associates, in which TOMRA has an ownership interest of 20-50% and significant influence over operational and financial decisions, are included in the consolidated accounts based

| interests are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary. Previously, goodwill was recognized on the acquisition of non-controlling interests in a subsidiary, which represented the excess of the cost of the additional investment over the carrying amount of the interest in the net assets acquired at the date of the transaction. (e) Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date when control is trans ferred to the Group. |
on the equity method. The Group's share of the profit from associates is reported under financial items in the income statement and as operating activities in the statement of cash flow. VALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION PRINCIPLES Estimations The preparation of the annual accounts of TOMRA involves the use of estimates. The esti mates are based on a number of assumptions and forecasts that, by their nature, involve un certainty. Various factors could cause TOMRA's actual results to differ materially from those |
| Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred. |
projected in the estimates. This includes, but is not limited to, 1) cash flow forecast from busi ness units supporting the carrying amount of goodwill and deferred tax assets, 2) provisions for warranty and 3) assumptions for calcula tion of pension obligation. |
| Any contingent consideration payable is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognized in profit and loss. For accounting of goodwill see Valuation and Classification principles (f) Goodwill. |
In performing the impairment test of goodwill, the recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in use calculations. These calculations require the use of estimates including, but not limited to estimates of future performance of the CGU's, assumptions of the future market conditions, and discount rate. Changes in circumstances and in management's evaluations and assump tions may give rise to changes in the outcome of impairment testing. |
(a) Revenue recognition
Revenue on product sales and sales-type leases of the company's products is generally recognized at the time of installation. Revenue on service contracts and operating leases of the company's products is recognized over the terms of the related agreements. Other service revenue is recognized when services are provided.
Construction contract revenue has been determined based on the percentage of completion method. The amount of revenue recognized results from the development of sorters for two of the Group's customers in the Sorting Solution segment. These sorters are constructed based on specifically negotiated contracts with each customer.

REPORTING STRUCTURE The Group's consolidated amounts comprise the following units:
Contract revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments, to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. When the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized in profit and loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract. The stage of completion is assessed by reference to surveys of work performed and cost incurred. When the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue is recognized only to the extent of contract costs incurred that are likely to be recoverable.
Contract expenses are recognized as incurred unless they create an asset related to future contract activity. An expected loss on a contract is recognized immediately in profit and loss.
(b) Cost recognition
Costs are expensed in the period that the income to which they relate is recognized. Costs that can not be directly related to income are expensed as incurred.
(c) Expenses
Operating lease payments Payments made under operating leases are recognized in the income statement on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognized in the income statement as an integral part of the total lease expense.
Finance lease payments
Minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is allocated to each period during the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability.
Net financing costs
Net financing costs comprise interest payable on borrowings calculated using the effective interest rate method, interest receivable on funds invested, dividend income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and gains and losses on hedging instruments that are recognized in the income statement.
Interest income is recognized in the income statement as it accrues, using the effective interest method. Dividend income is recognized in the income statement on the date the entity's right to receive payments is established. The interest expense component of finance lease payments is recognized in the income statement using the effective interest rate method.
Hedge of a net Investment in foreign operation
The Group applies hedge accounting to foreign currency differences arising between the functional currency of the foreign operation and the Group's currency (NOK).
Foreign currency differences arising on the retranslation of a financial liability designated as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation are recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that the hedge is effective, and are presented in the translation reserve within equity. The tax effect is charged to equity. To the extent that the hedge is ineffective, such differences are recognized in profit and loss. When the hedged net investment is disposed of, the relevant amount in the translation reserve is transferred to profit and loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal.
(d) Derivative financial instruments
Financial instruments are recognized initially at cost and are subsequently stated at fair value. The gain or loss on remeasurement to fair value is recognized immediately in profit and loss.
(e) Property, plant and equipment Owned assets
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
Depreciation is based on the cost of an asset less its residual value. Significant components of individual assets are assessed and if a component has a useful life that is different from the remainder of that asset, that component is depreciated separately.
Depreciation is recognized in profit and loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. Land is not depreciated.
If the recoverable amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is lower than carrying amount the asset will be written down to fair value.
Leased assets
Leases where the Group assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The owner-occupied property acquired by way of finance lease is stated at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at inception of the lease, less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Subsequent costs
The Group recognizes in the carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment the cost of replacing part of such an item when that cost is incurred if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other costs are recognized in the income statement as an expense as incurred.
(f) Intangible assets
Intangibles consist of goodwill, development cost, entitlement to trademarks and non-competition agreements.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents amounts arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.
For acquisitions, the Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as the fair value of the consideration transferred plus the recognized amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquisition less the net recognized amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognized immediately in profit and loss.
Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units and is tested annually at 31 December for impairment. With respect to associates, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate.
Adjustments to estimated contingent consideration are included in the income statement.
Research and development
Expenditure on research activities, undertaken with the prospect of gaining new scientific or technical knowledge and understanding, is recognized in the income statement as an expense as incurred.
Expenditure on development activities, whereby research findings are applied to a plan or design for the production of new or substantially improved products and processes, is capitalized if the product or process is technically and commercially feasible and the Group has sufficient resources to complete development. The expenditure capitalized includes
the cost of materials, direct labour and overhead costs directly attributable to preparing the asset for use. Other development expenditure is recognized in the income statement as an expense as incurred. Capitalized development expenditure is stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Straight-line depreciation is applied over the economic life of the asset.
The company has not received any material government grants.
Other intangibles
Other intangible assets that are acquired by the Group are stated at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Other intangibles are amortized over the term of the contract. Impairment-testing was performed at year end where there were indications of impairment, see note 10.
Expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands is recognized in profit and loss as an expense as incurred.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure on capitalized intangible assets is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is expensed as incurred.
(g) Shares
Shares intended for long-term ownership are recorded in the balance sheet under long-term investments. These are valued at acquisition cost, unless circumstances, which cannot be regarded as of a temporary nature, exist which necessitate a lower valuation.
(h) Inventory
Inventories of raw materials are valued at the lower of the cost of acquisition and the fair value. Work in progress and finished products are valued at the lower of the cost to manufacture or net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses. Spare parts and parts held by service agents are valued at cost. A deduction is made for obsolescence where necessary.
The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average cost principle and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories and bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of overheads based on normal operating capacity.
(i) Transactions, receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies
Receivables and liabilities are booked at the exchange rate at the date of the balance sheet. Transactions in profit and loss are booked at monthly average exchange rates.
Material single transactions are booked at the transaction date exchange rate.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank deposits, money market funds, and other short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less. The parent company presents total bank deposits in the international cash pool, while the subsidiaries present their share of the international cash pool as intra-group balances.
(k) Pension obligations Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as employee benefits expenses in profit and loss as the related service is provided.
TOMRA's defined contribution plan also includes the right to a paid up policy, an element of which is a defined benefit. This part of the defined contribution plan is accounted for as a defined benefit plan as described below.
Defined benefit plans
The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprises actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in OCI. The Group determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit and loss and presented as a financial item.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit and loss. TOMRA Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(l) Warranty allocations
A general provision has been made for future warranty costs based on the previous year's turnover in all Group companies.
(m) Taxes
The tax charge in the income statement includes both taxes payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes. The change in deferred taxes reflects future taxes payable resulting from the year's activities. Deferred taxes are determined based on the accumulated result, which falls due for payment in future periods. Deferred taxes are calculated on net positive timing differences between accounting and tax balance sheet values, after offsetting negative timing differences and losses carried forward under the liability method. See Note 11.
A deferred tax asset is recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
(n) Earnings per share
Earnings per share has been computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares and share equivalents outstanding during each period. Common share equivalent recognizes the potential dilutive effects of future exercises of common share warrants and employee incentive programs payable in company shares.
(o) Cash flow statement
The cash flow statement is compiled using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other short-term investments with terms not exceeding three months that can immediately, and with no material exchange rate exposure, be exchanged for cash.
(p) Impairment
The carrying amounts of the Group's assets, other than inventory and deferred tax assets (see separate accounting policies), are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is estimated.
For goodwill, assets that have an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that are not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated on an annual basis, see note 10.
An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in the profit and loss.
Impairment losses recognized in respect of cashgenerating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to cashgenerating units (group of units) and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units), on a pro rata basis.
Calculation of recoverable amount
The recoverable amount of assets is the greater of their net selling price and value in use. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For an asset that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cashgenerating unit to which the asset belongs.
Reversals of impairment An impairment loss relating to goodwill can not be reversed.
With respect to other assets, an impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.
An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
(q) Dividends
Dividends are recognized as a liability in the period in which they are declared.
(r) Interest-bearing borrowings
Interest-bearing borrowings are recognized initially at fair value less attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, interest-bearing borrowings are stated at amortized cost with any difference between cost and redemption value being recognized in the profit and loss over the period
of the borrowings on an effective interest basis.
(s) Provisions
A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation. If the effect is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability.
Expected incremental legal costs where there is a past obligation event with respect to the underlying claim are accrued for as provisions.
(t) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are stated at cost.
(u) Segment reporting A segment is a distinguishable component of the
Group that is engaged in providing products or services that is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
Segment information is presented in the same format that TOMRA Group's management uses to manage the business.
(v) Discontinued operations
A discontinued operation is a component of the Group's business that represents a separate major line of business or geographical area of operations that has been disposed of or is held for sale or distribution, or is a subsidiary acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Classification as a discontinued operation occurs upon disposal or when the operation meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, if earlier. A disposal group that is to be abandoned may also qualify.
On initial classification as discontinued operations, non-current assets are classified as held for sale and recognized at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
Impairment losses on initial classification as held for sale are included in profit and loss, even when there is a revaluation. The same applies to gains and losses on subsequent remeasurement.
(w) Share Capital
Ordinary shares Incremental costs directly attributable to issue of ordinary shares and share options are recognized as a deduction from equity.
Repurchase of share capital
When share capital recognized as equity is repurchased, the amount of the consideration paid, including directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. Repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares and are presented as a deduction from total equity.
(x) New standards and interpretations not yet adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not effective for the year ended 31 December 2014 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those that may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. These will be adopted in the period that they become mandatory unless otherwise indicated:
IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers Amendments to IFRS 11 – Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations Amendments to IFRS 16 and 38 – Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortisation Amendments to IAS 19 – Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions
TOMRA is considering the effects of the future adoption of these standards. The current assessment is that Tomra does not expect any material effects in the financial statements from the new standards.

GENERAL
BASIC PRINCIPLES
The financial statements, which have been presented in compliance with the Norwegian Companies Act, the Norwegian Accounting Act and Norwegian generally accepted accounting principles, consist of the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement and notes to the accounts.
The financial statements have been prepared based on the fundamental principles governing historical cost accounting, comparability, continued operations and congruence. Transactions are recorded at their value at the time of the transaction. Income is recognized at the time of delivery of goods or services sold. Costs are expensed in the period that the income to which they relate is recognized.
Estimates and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period, are prepared by management based upon their best knowledge at reporting date. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
VALUATION AND CLASSIFICATION PRINCIPLES
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues for machines and parts are recognized when risk is transferred to the customer. Other service revenue is recognized when services are provided.
Dividend income is recognized in profit and loss when the entity's right to receive payments is established.
COST RECOGNITION
Costs are expensed in the period that the income to which they relate is recognized. Costs that can not be directly related to income are expensed as incurred.
START-UP AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Start-up and research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred.
TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets are entered in the accounts at original cost, with deductions for accumulated depreciation and write-down. If the fair value of a fixed asset is lower than book value, and the decline in value is not temporary, the fixed asset will be written down to fair value.
Based on the acquisition cost, straight-line depreciation is applied over the economic life of the fixed assets.
SHARES
Shares intended for long-term ownership are recorded in the balance sheet under long-term investments. These are valued at acquisition cost unless circumstances, which cannot be regarded as of a temporary nature, exist which necessitate a lower valuation.
RECEIVABLES AND LIABILITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES
Receivables and liabilities are booked at the exchange rate at the date of the balance sheet.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, bank deposits, money market funds, and other short-term investments with original maturity of three months or less.
Tomra Systems ASA presents total bank deposits in the international cash pool, while subsidiaries present their share of the international cash pool as intra-group balances.
PENSION OBLIGATIONS Defined contribution plans Obligations for contributions to defined con-
tribution plans are recognized as employee benefits expenses in profit and loss as the related service is provided.
Tomra Systems ASA's defined contribution plan also includes the right to a paid up policy, an element of which is a defined benefit. This part of the defined contribution plan is accounted for as a defined benefit plan as described below.
Defined benefit plans
Tomra Systems ASA's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a benefit to Tomra Systems ASA, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
Remeasurement of the net defined benefit liability, which comprises actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in Equity. Tomra Systems ASA determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit
liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset), taking into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit and loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit and loss. Tomra Systems ASA recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
TAXES
The tax charge in the profit and loss account includes both taxes payable for the period and the change in deferred taxes. The change in deferred taxes reflects future taxes payable resulting from the year's activities. Deferred taxes are determined based on the accumulated result, which falls due for payment in future periods. Deferred taxes are calculated on net positive timing differences between accounting and tax balance sheet values, after offsetting negative timing differences and losses carried forward under the liability method in accordance with the rules set out in the Norwegian Accounting Standard.
CASH FLOW STATEMENT
The cash flow statement is compiled using the indirect method. Cash and cash equivalents include cash, bank deposits and other short-term investments with terms not exceeding three months that immediately, and with no material exchange rate exposure, can be exchanged for cash.
TOMRA is organized as two business areas, TOMRA Collection and TOMRA Sorting. The split is based upon the risk and return profile of the Group's different activities, also taking into consideration TOMRA's internal reporting structure to the Board and Management Group.
Collection Solutions - three business streams:
Reverse Vending - development, production, sale and service of Reverse Vending Machines and related data management systems.
Material Recovery - pick-up, transportation and processing of empty beverage containers on behalf of beverage producers/fillers on the US East Coast and in Canada.
Compaction - production and sale of small and mid size compaction machines. The business stream, which was part of the Collection segment, was held for sale in 2014, and all figures are presented excluding discontinued operations. See also disclsoure note 23.
Sorting Solutions is a provider of advanced optical sorting systems with three business streams; Food, Recycling and Mining.
Group Functions consists of corporate functions at TOMRA's head office.
Assets and liabilities are distributed to the different reporting segments. Cash, interestbearing debt and tax positions are allocated to Group Functions.
There is no material segment revenue from transactions between the business areas.
Revenue from service activities was NOK 1,495 million (2013: NOK 1,382 million) out of total revenue of NOK 4,749 million (2013: NOK 4,421 million).
1) Includes revenues from Germany of NOK 1,342 million in 2014 (NOK 1,042 million in 2013) 2) Includes revenues from USA of NOK 1,467 million in 2014 (NOK 1,277 million in 2013)

Impairment tests for cash-generating units containing goodwill
The following units have significant carrying amounts of goodwill:
| TOMRA COLLECTION SOLUTIONS | ||
|---|---|---|
| Amounts in NOK million | 2014 | 2013 |
|---|---|---|
| TOMRA COLLECTION SOLUTIONS | ||
| - Reverse vending | 168.4 | 156.4 |
| - Material recovery | 96.4 | 78.9 |
| - Compaction | 0.0 | 71.3 |
| TOMRA SORTING SOLUTIONS | 1,786.2 | 1,658.7 |
| Total | 2,051.0 | 1,965.3 |
TOMRA tests goodwill and other intangible assets with infinite useful life annually or more frequently if there are impairment indicators. As of 31 December 2014 and 2013 the Group had no intangible assets with infinite useful life, other than goodwill. Property, plant and equipment and other tangible assets with finite useful life are tested if there are indicators that assets might be impaired.
The recoverable amount of the cash-generating units is based on value in use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on actual operating results (EBITA) and a five-year business plan including a residual value.
Significant assumptions
Based on an overall assessment, TOMRA has identified the following assumptions as most sensitive to the value in use calculations.
Growth rate
TOMRA has experienced significant growth for several years. The Sorting segment has grown organically ~17 percent per year for the last 10 years on average, excluding acquisitions. The growth used in the impairment tests is consequently significantly lower than those experienced historically. In prediction of cash flows, management has utilized a conservative approach, and the predicted development is in general lower then what's utilized in the strategic plan, approved by the Board in 2014. Its also lower than the financial targets (more than 4 percent yearly revenue growth in TOMRA Collection and more than 10 percent yearly revenue growth in TOMRA Sorting). The growth in the terminal year is set to 1.0 percent - 1.5 percent in the analysis.
Operating profit (EBITA)
The future operating profit is dependent on a number of factors, but primarily volumes/ market growth, and operating expenses/cost of production. In the impairment tests, TOMRA has estimated EBITA based on management's experience, expectations of future market development and the already implemented cost saving initiatives.
Discount rates
The discount rates are based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) formula derived from the CAPM model. When calculating the WACC (which has been done individually for each CGU) a conservative approach has been taken, using from 6.5 percent to 7.5 percent for the different CGUs. The tax rate is on average 24 percent.
Capital expenditure and capital employed
Capital employed is generally assumed to develop in line with revenues, and sales prices are in general assumed to be stable, following inflation. Capital expenditure is generally equaled to depreciation in the calculation of terminal value as it is assumed depreciation equals capital expenditure in the long run.
Below follows a further description of the different cash generating units and consideration around the impairment tests.
Reverse Vending
Material Recovery
The business stream comprises the pick-up, transportation and processing of empty
beverage containers on behalf of beverage producers/fillers on the US East Coast and in Canada. The activity in the business stream mirrors the drinking consumption in the US deposit states, which normally grows by only a few percent anually. TOMRA is the market leader in this business stream in regions where we are present, and has been so for more than 20 years. Terminal growth rate is assumed to be 1.0 percent, and a WACC of 6.5 percent has been utilized.
Tomra Sorting
The business area comprises the development, production, sale and service of sorting and processing technology for different customer segments.
The business stream comprises the development, production, sale and service of reverse vending machines and related data management systems in the deposit markets in Europe and USA, in total 20 markets. The main customer group is food retail chains. With a high market share and significant service business, the business stream represents a steady recurring cashflow, with limited risk, as TOMRA has been the global market leader in this business stream for more than 40 years. Terminal growth rate is assumed to be 1.5 percent, and a WACC of 6.5 percent has been utilized. Neither an interest rate increase of 2 percentage points, nor a reduction in forecasted cashflow of 10 percent would trigger a write-down of goodwill. Exchange rates as of 31 December 2014 were used in calculating carrying values (see note 19). In calculating the predicted cash flows, the following exchange rates were used EUR/NOK: 8.25 - USD/NOK: 6.50.
- In the Food business stream, the customers are the fresh and processed food industries. TOMRA is the global market leader in sorting mid-sized and large objects. With main customers being the food producing companies, the cyclicality in the business stream is low, due to the world dependency upon a steady stream of food. Recurring revenue is however (as for all sorting entities) low, as the installed base is rather new (less replacements sales) and service only accounts for a smaller fraction of revenues. The business has however been growing for many years, and has still a significant untapped potential, as many sorting tasks still are performed manually and new technology enables sorting of fragments / sorting with a quality that previously was not possible.
- In the recycling business stream, the customers are waste management companies or plant builders operating on behalf of them, where TOMRA provides sorting systems for waste and metal material streams. TOMRA is the global market leader in the business stream and has been so for more than 10 years. The business stream experiences some cyclicality due to fluctuations in material prices.
- In the mining business stream, the customers are mining companies, where TOMRA provides ore sorting systems. Current penetration in the mining industry is more limited, but with significant potential, as the acceptance of optical sorting solutions is increasing within the industry.
- Due to reorganizations, where synergies are taken out by merging units and technology is cross utilized between previously separate business streams and companies, the allocation of assets and cash flow within TOMRA Sorting has been difficult and in many cases arbitrary. The impairment test in 2013 was the last year performed as a bottom up exercise per business stream, where the allocated goodwill was tested. Further integration and restructuring in 2014 has added to this complexity and it is no longer possible to follow the cashflow from each of the initial acquisitions within TOMRA Sorting. Consequently TOMRA Sorting from 2014 is treated as one CGU. TOMRA Collection has not been influenced by the restructuring and cross utilization of technologies, and the number of cash generating units has consequently not been changed within this business area.
Sensitivity analysis
In connection with the impairment testing of CGU's containing goodwill, a sensitivity analysis has been performed. A reasonably likely change in key assumptions on which management has based its determination of the unit's recoverable amount would not cause the unit's carrying amount to exceed its recoverable amount.
Research and development expense
Research and development expense of NOK 197.5 million has been recognized as an expense (2013: NOK 186.7 million) and NOK 42.8 million has been capitalized (2013: NOK 43.5 million).

Negative and positive timing differences, which reverse or may reverse in the same period, are offset. Deferred taxes are calculated on the basis of timing differences and losses carried forward that are offset. Timing differences between different subsidiaries have not been offset. During the period that these differences reverse, the companies will have a taxable net income that is sufficient to realize the deferred tax allowance. The losses carried forward are all in countries where future taxable profits are expected.
There have not been any material effects in either deferred tax or tax expenses for the year, related to changes in tax rates in the jurisdictions where TOMRA operates.

Extract from principles for remuneration of Group Management
Salary and other employment terms for senior executives shall be competitive to ensure that TOMRA can attract and retain skilled leaders. Salary should include both fixed and variable elements. The fixed salary should reflect the individual's area of responsibility and performance over time. Principles for remuneration shall be allowed to vary in accordance with local conditions. The remuneration structure shall be based on such factors as position, expertise, experience, conduct and performance. The variable salary shall not exceed 50 percent of the fixed annual salary and be based on the achievement of specific performance targets by TOMRA Group and/or the respective manager's unit.
Long Term Incentive Plans (LTIP)
In addition to regular fixed and variable salary, TOMRA has since 2010 had a cash-based Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP), where managers could receive a bonus based upon the return the company generated for its shareholders measured against NASDAQ. For 2014, the dividend adjusted performance of the TOMRA share needed to exceed NASDAQ by at least 2.5 percent in the period 31 December 2011 to 31 December 2014 to generate earnings under the plan. Full earnings would have been achieved if the over-performance exceeded 20 percent. The TOMRA share increased in the period 52 percent, dividend adjusted. NASDAQ increased during the same period 82 percent. No earnings under this plan were consequently made during 2014.
As communicated in last year's annual report, the Board has decided to establish a new LTIP-plan, replacing the old plan. The new plan is based upon improvements in the Group's reported EPS. The rational for changing the plan has been to make the performance metric more relevant for management, measuring success based upon improvements in profit (which management can influence), instead of share price development (which is less influenced by own performance, particularly when measured against NASDAQ).
Under the new system, the Board has established EPS targets for 2015, 2016 and 2017. The targets are established as intervals, where the participants can earn from 30 percent (if the minimum target is met) and up to 100 percent (if the maximum target is met) of one year's salary. The plan is consequently capped at one year's salary. 50 percent of the earnings after tax has to be invested in TOMRA shares, and has to be kept for at least three years. If sold before, all proceeds from the sale belong to TOMRA.
First measurement day will be in February 2016, when actual performance for 2015 is measured against the targets.
The collective compensation for key management personnel was as follows (20 managers in 2014 and 23 in 2013):
| Amounts in NOK million | 2014 | 2013 |
|---|---|---|
| Short-term employee benefits | 32.3 | 62.0 |

From 2014, the equity method has been applied. When making the assessment, the structure of the arrangement, the legal form, the contractual terms of the arrangement and other relevant facts and circumstances have been taken into consideration.
TOMRA's share of the joint venture accounts for less than 1 percent of total capital of the Group. Therefore last year's figures have not been restated, since this is considered immaterial.

NOTE 17 PENSION AND PENSION OBLIGATIONS (cont.) NOTE 17 PENSION AND PENSION OBLIGATIONS (cont.)
GROUP - IFRS
Until the end of 2006 all employees in Norway were covered by a collective pension plan, where the insured pension plans covered employees in permanent positions of at least 50 percent of full time employment and below an age of 57 years at the employment date. The pension plan was structured as a retirement net agreement in that it guaranteed a supplement to the State benefits. There has not been any agreements for compensation of reductions in State benefits. The plan gives a right to defined future benefits (defined benefit plan). The benefit is mainly dependent upon years within the plan, salary at date of retirement and compensation from the State. The obligations are covered through Storebrand insurance company. The plan should ensure that the employees would get a pension of about 65 percent of salary, if they had full contribution time, limited upwards to 12G.
In 2007, TOMRA established a defined contribution plan, where TOMRA contributes 5% of salary between 1 and 6G and 8% of salary between 6 and 12G. The old defined benefit plan for salary up to 12G was at the same time closed for new members, so all new employees from January 2007 are members of the defined contribution plan instead.
Employees that were members of the defined benefit plan, could choose if they wanted to stay in this plan or join the new defined contribution plan. Employees that chose to change pension plan got a paid up policy for the benefit they had earned under the old plan. In total 65 employees chose to change pension plan.
In addition TOMRA had a separate pension plan for benefits over 12G, with the same coverage as the plan up to 12G. Until the end of 2006 the pension premium for such plans was not taxable for the receiver, but it
would be taxable when the pension was paid out. The pension premium was not tax deductible for the company.
Due to changes in the tax regulations the pension premium paid is taxable from 1 January 2007 for the employee, while only the return of the pension is taxable when it is paid out. The pension premium is also tax deductible for the company.
To eliminate the effect of the changes in tax regulation for employees, the pension plan was adjusted to keep the benefit after tax unchanged for the employee. This was done by adjusting the pension premium down to a level where the employee would get the same benefit after tax as under the former pension plan. In addition TOMRA compensates the employee's tax on the pension premium.
The pension plans have been treated for accounting purposes in accordance with IAS 19. The parent company's plan, which also covers employees in Tomra Butikksystemer AS, Tomra Production AS and Tomra Sorting AS included 104 employees and 37 retirees at year-end 2014.
Actual return on plan assets was NOK 6.6 million in 2013.
The table above shows total pension cost of defined benefit plans for the parent company and the Group, and total pension obligations at 31 December for the parent company and the Group's defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans. Net pension obligations at 31 December 2014 are split between net pension obligations for the defined benefit plans of NOK 49.7 million, and net pension obligations for the defined contribution plans of NOK 7.9 million.
Life expectancy
Assumptions regarding future mortality have been based on published statistics and mortality tables K2013BE. The current life expectancy underlying the values of the defined benefit obligation at the reporting date were as follows.
| Men | Women | |
|---|---|---|
| Life expectancy currently aged 65 | 20.7 | 23.9 |
| Life expectancy at 65 currently aged 40 | 23.0 | 26.3 |
1) NOK 6.5 million of total employee benefits for Tomra Systems ASA was charged to subsidiaries in 2014 (2013: NOK 9.4 million), and the interest of NOK 1.7 million is classified as financial expense. The cost of the defined benefit plan includes a premium for the right to a paid up defined contribution policy based on an actuarial valuation.
Total employee benefits expenses for the Group is split as NOK 11.0 million in the Sorting Solutions segment (2013 NOK 6.7 million) and NOK 31.2 million in the Collection Solutions segment (2013 NOK 27.5 million).
TOMRA's best estimate of contributions expected to be paid into the plan for 2015 is NOK 19.9 million.
The discount rate is in accordance with guidelines from Norsk Regnskapsstiftelse at 31 August 2014, which was the best estimate of the rate at the time the basis for the calculation was set in October 2014. The effect of the decline in the long term interest rates towards the end of this year and the new guidelines at 31 December 2014, have been considered immaterial.
Due to the financial turmoil in Europe, the 10 year state bond interest has been unnaturally low. For this reason, Norsk Regnskapsstiftelse (NRS) in their 2013 and 2014 guidelines has recommended that the interest used for pension calculations should be set based upon preference bonds with sufficient liquidity (known as OMF-bonds). Over time it's assumed that the wage increase should not exceed the discount rate. TOMRA has consequently since 2013 calculated its pension liabilities based upon the implicit interest in OMF-bond.

Tomra North America participates in two multi-employer pension plans in the US, the "Metro-plan" and the "TNYR-plan". Both plans are Defined Benefit plans (DB) under IAS 19. As there has been limited financial information available for these pension plans, TOMRA applied Defined Contribution plan (DC) accounting for both plans up until 31 December 2012.
The TNYR-plan comprises 32 TOMRA employees, out of a total of approximately 2,250 employees. Similar to prior years, there is still not sufficient financial information available in order to account for this plan as a DB plan. Consequently, TOMRA continues to account for this plan as a DC plan by direct expensing of premiums paid. Premiums paid in 2014 amounts to USD 187,663, compared to USD 145,018 in 2013. Received information from the plan indicates an underfunding of USD 2.9 million on TOMRA's part. TOMRA is jointly and severally liable for the plans underfund with other participants within the plan.
The Metro plan comprises 60 TOMRA employees. In 2013 the Metro-plan was restructured, and the fund provided TOMRA with information about TOMRA's net liabilities under the plan. TOMRA entered into an agreement with the fund to settle the underfunding in the plan though annual payments of USD 0.2 million per year over 25 years period. Consequently, a net pension liability of USD 3.5 million (net present value) was recognized in other comprehensive income as a change in estimate in 2013. The agreement with the fund also included a reentry into the restructured DB-plan based on direct attribution, where TOMRA is responsible for funding of liabilities directly attributable to TOMRA employees only. The premium paid under this plan was USD 168,551 in 2014.
TOMRA SYSTEMS ASA - NGAAP
From 1 January 2006 Tomra Systems ASA was obliged to have a pension plan for its employees, and its pension plan meets this requirement.
TOMRA has applied IAS 19 under NRS 6 since the Group's conversion to IFRS in 2004. Tomra Systems ASA changed to IAS 19R in 2013 following the same approach and consideration as described above for the Group.

NOTE 19 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
NOTE 19 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont.)
Responsibility for funding, cash management and financial risk management is handled centrally by the finance department in Tomra Systems ASA. Guidelines for the finance activities are determined by the financial strategy, which is reviewed and approved by the Board. The central treasury department acts as the corporate bank and is responsible for all external borrowing and hedging transactions in interest rates and currencies. TOMRA aims to limit its exposure to financial risk.
Interest rate risk
TOMRA's surplus cash is primarily used to reduce the loan amount on the revolving credit facilities. It may also be placed in NOK with short maturities. In accordance with the adopted financial strategy, the duration of the portfolio should not exceed six months.
Non-current interest-bearing liabilities relates to a five-year revolving credit facility of NOK 500 million or EUR equivalent (established in January 2011), a three-year revolving credit facility of EUR 60 million, or NOK/SEK/USD equivalent (established in April 2014) and a five-year revolving credit facility of EUR 60 million, or NOK/SEK/USD equivalent (established in April 2014). On the NOK 500 million revolving credit facility, interest is payable at a rate of NIBOR/EURIBOR plus 60-90 basis points, dependent on TOMRA's NIBD/EBITDA ratio. On the EUR 60 million three-year revolving credit facility, interest is payable at a rate of EURIBOR plus 35-60 basis points dependent on TOMRA's NIBD/EBITDA and leverage ratio. On the EUR 60 million five-year revolving credit facility, interest is payable at a rate of EURIBOR plus 50-75 basis points dependent on TOMRA's NIBD/EBITDA and leverage ratio. In addition TOMRA has an overdraft facility of NOK 50 million. A change in the interest rate of 100 basis points, calculated on the loan amount as per 31 December 2014, increases/decreases the annual financial costs by NOK 15.4 million. At year end cash and cash equivalents had a duration of zero (mainly bank holdings), and the duration of the three loan facilities was 2.66 years.
Capital management
TOMRA's policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the business. TOMRA monitors the return on capital as well as the level of dividends to the shareholders. TOMRA seeks to maintain a balance between the higher returns that might be possible with higher level of borrowings and the advantage and security afforded by a sound capital position. TOMRA's target is to achieve a high return on capital and an equity ratio above 30 percent.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding contracts should a counterparty default on its obligations. Historically the Group has limited bad debt on receivables. The Group has sufficient routines for credit checks on clients and credit risk is not considered to be significant on outstanding receivables as of 31 December 2014. However, TOMRA's customers include the largest retail chains in the world, as well as large scrap material processors and food producers, where outstanding receivables globally can be significant. In a situation where one of these systems collapses, TOMRA could be exposed. The maximum exposure to credit risk at year-end equalled total receivables in the balance sheet plus any unrealized gain on financial contracts.
In accordance with the Group's financial strategy, placement of surplus cash requires the counterpart to have a strong rating, with investments limited to NOK 100 million per bank. Surplus liquidity can also be placed in certificates issued by states or municipalities, as well as in short term security markets which require a safe investment structure.
TOMRA's main bank is DNB Bank, where TOMRA's NOK 500 million, or EUR equivalent, credit facility is located in addition to the international cash pool. The two EUR 60 million credit facilities are provided by DNB and SEB. In order to have a full cash management solution, TOMRA has a few additional banks in some local markets. The tables below show TOMRA's outstanding loans per 31 December and respective counterpart's credit rating.

2) or NOK/SEK/USD equivalent
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that TOMRA will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. TOMRA has a limited exposure to liquidity risk on the basis of a strong cash flow in addition to a solid balance sheet - 50.6 percent equity ratio at 31 December 2014 - that will enable a higher debt ratio if necessary. Liquidity per 31 December 2014 was NOK 534 million (including unused credit lines).
Commodity risk
The volatility of raw materials impacts both TOMRA's income and costs.
Income
TOMRA is indirectly exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices in the business area Sorting Solutions; for customers within waste-management, the value of the material that TOMRA scanners sort out is a source of income. When commodity prices increase, the income to customers in this segment is affected, which affects the willingness to invest positively.
Costs
An increase in fuel prices is negative for TOMRA due to higher transportation costs. First and foremost, this applies to material recovery operations, where an increase of USD 1 per gallon diesel decreases operating profit by USD 1.3 million a year. TOMRA uses a variety of raw materials in production, however, the volume of material components was not large enough for changes in commodity prices to significantly impact the results.
Foreign currency risk
TOMRA is exposed to changes in the value of NOK relative to other currencies. With ~97 percent of its income in foreign currencies, a strengthening of NOK will lead to reduced earnings for the Group when measured in NOK. The most significant risk is associated with fluctuations in EUR and USD. In accordance with the financial strategy, TOMRA can secure up to 12 months of expected future net cash flow. TOMRA primarily uses forward contracts as an economic instrument to hedge the cash flow. TOMRA has not applied hedge accounting in accordance with IAS39 for the cash flow.
Hedge accounting under IAS 39
In order to reduce the profit and loss volatility arising from currency fluctuations, a portion of TOMRA's EUR denominated debts amounting to EUR 170 million is designated as hedge of the net investment in European subsidiaries. The fair value of the borrowing at 31 December 2014 was EUR 170 million (NOK 1,536.2 million), which represents 83 percent of the net investment. The hedge has been highly effective for the period (100 percent). The foreign exchange loss of NOK 125.3 million on translating the borrowing to functional currency at the end of the reporting period is recognized in retained earnings, in shareholders' equity.
The split of the balance sheet as of 31 December in currencies was distributed between the balance lines as follows:

A 10 percent weaker/stronger NOK would normally lead to a 10-12 percent increase/decrease in operating profit. Currency fluctuations would in addition affect the book value of assets and liabilities in TOMRA's foreign subsidiaries. A 10 percent weakening/strengthening in the value of the NOK would have increased/decreased equity by NOK 295 million as per balance 31 December 2014. (This analysis assumes all other variables remain constant). Such changes in value would however not have a P/L impact as they are booked as translation differences against equity.

Share Purchase Program
In 2008 TOMRA established a share purchase program for permanent employees. In this program TOMRA invites employees to buy shares in TOMRA at market price and receive one bonus share per five invested shares, provided that the shares are kept for at least one year and the employee is still employed by TOMRA. The employee can buy shares up to a maximum of 30 percent of his/her gross salary. The share purchase program uses own shares acquired by TOMRA as authorized by the Annual General Meeting. The shares are purchased on the Oslo Stock Exchange.

The following summarizes the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments in the table:
Cash and cash equivalents
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents equalled the fair value due to their short maturities.
Financial derivatives
The fair value of forward currency contracts represented quoted market price, i.e. the exchange rate at 31 December 2014 and the interest points obtained from the different market institutions.
Interest-bearing loans and borrowings
The fair value of the unsecured bank loan was based on loan amounts and accrued interest per 31. December 2014. Future interest payments and repayments with a time to maturity of more than one year are discounted.
Receivables/payables
For receivables/payables with a remaining life of less than one year, the notional amount was deemed to reflect the fair value. All other receivables/ payables were discounted to determine the fair value.
There has not been any transfer of assets between the different valuation levels in 2014 compared to 2013.
