BACKLOG DEVELOPMENT AND MOMENTUM

  • Good order intake (all time high in NOK), combined with few orders taken to P/L, created a strong order backlog at the end of first quarter 2015 (all time high)
  • Estimated backlog conversion ratio in 2Q15: 65- 70%*

Business Outlook

OUTLOOK

Collection Solutions:

  • No new markets are expected to generate significant revenues in the coming quarters, but replacement opportunities in the German market are expected to improve performance going forward.
  • On the back of a somewhat weak first quarter 2015, activity is expected to develop positively, and 2015 in total is expected to be stronger than 2014, both in respect of revenues and EBITA.

Sorting Solutions:

• The business area ended first quarter 2015 with an all time high order backlog, and second quarter 2015 is consequently expected to be strong and materially better than second quarter 2014.

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.
