BUSINESS STREAM UPDATE

FOOD
Revenues were slightly lower in 1Q14 compared to 1Q13, due to lower order backlog
at the beginning of the quarter

Good order intake during 1Q14 has improved the order backlog

High activity in both product development and organizational development
RECYCLING
Revenues were slightly higher in 1Q14 compared to 1Q13, due to higher order
backlog at the beginning of the quarter

Order intake has developed positively in waste recycling the last quarters

Metals recycling still depressed due to low commodity prices
MINING
Good order intake in 1Q14

Distribution agreement signed with Outotec
INTEGRATION
Several ongoing integration initiatives:
Centralize Process Analytics business unit activities in Leuven

Centralize R&D activities within Mining, moving it from Australia/Canada to Germany

Intention to centralize production activities, currently in Leuven to Pezinok

Centralize Food Finance & Administration activities currently in Dublin in Leuven

Centralize Food Service Back-Office for Belgium and the Netherlands in Leuven

12 MNOK expensed in 1Q14. Additional 13 MNOK to come in 2Q14

BACKLOG DEVELOPMENT AND MOMENTUM

Comments

  • The order backlog declined in the period 1Q13- 3Q13
  • Partly explained by large US order signed in 2012 and delivered in 2013
  • Resulting in a low order backlog end 3Q13
  • Good order intake in 4Q13 and 1Q14, combined with stronger NOK and fewer orders taken to P/L in 1Q14
  • Leading to all time high order backlog at the end of 1Q14
  • Continued high order intake through 2Q14 and 3Q14 important to increase revenues in 2014 compared to 2013

Business Outlook

OUTLOOK

Collection Solutions:

No new markets are expected to generate significant revenues in the coming quarters and activity is consequently assumed to be stable

Sorting Solutions:

  • The business area ended 1Q14 with an all time high order backlog, but as part of this backlog has somewhat longer delivery times, revenues in 2Q14 are expected to be somewhat below 2Q13
  • Favorable market and product mix is expected to lead to a somewhat improved GM% in 2Q14, compared to 2Q13
  • Integration cost of 13 MNOK to be taken in 2Q14 (in addition to the 12 MNOK recorded in 1Q13). The initiatives are assumed to generate yearly savings of close to 30 MNOK per year, starting 2015

Currency:

• Reporting in NOK and with some NOK cost base, TOMRA will in general benefit from a weak NOK, measured particularly against EUR and USD. TOMRA will consequently continue to gain from a strong USD and EUR, provided current exchange rate levels are maintained
