the quarter going from 44% to 45% predominantly explained by changes in product

mix.

activity level and bonus accruals.

Collection Solutions: Strong quarter driven by replacement sales in Germany and

Sweden

Driven by stronger USD and EUR vs NOK and increased sales in Germany, the

business area reported a revenue growth of 60% third quarter 2015, compared to

same period last year.  After adjustment for currency changes, revenues were up

40%.

"The replacement demand in Germany is assumed to continue and the outlook for

fourth quarter is consequently good. However both revenues and EBITA levels will

be significantly below the exceptionally strong third quarter 2015", says Stefan

Ranstrand, TOMRA President and CEO.

Gross margin was 39%, down from 42% same period last year, negatively influenced

by product mix and more lower-margin USD nominated revenues (Material Recovery).

Currency adjusted the gross margin was down two percentage points.

Operating expenses were up 12%, currency adjusted, a result of higher activity

and bonus accruals.

EBITA was MNOK 247, up from 147 MNOK last year.

Sorting Solutions: Orders holding up despite challenging market conditions

Revenues in the quarter increased by 29%, compared to same quarter in 2014.

Adjusted for currency effects, revenues were up 16%.

Gross margin increased from 44% in third quarter 2014 to 45% in third quarter

2015, due to higher volumes and product mix.

Currency adjusted the operating expenses were up 17%. This is a result of higher

activity and bonus accruals.

EBITA increased from 66 MNOK in third quarter 2014 to 87 MNOK in third quarter

2015, driven by higher volumes, improved gross margin and positive currency

effects.

"We expect fourth quarter top line to be good as we will see execution of the

current high order backlog. However, we do expect orders taken to P/L in the

coming quarter to be higher than orders received same period. This will

consequently lead to a reduction of the order backlog by the end of fourth

quarter 2015", Ranstrand comments on the outlook for Sorting Solutions.
