TOMRA COMPACTION

  • TOMRA acquired Orwak Group in 2005.
  • Orwak (later named TOMRA Compaction) has been a business stream within TOMRA Collection Solutions, leveraging potential front-end synergies (sales and service) based on overlapping customer segments
  • Actual synergies between compaction and reverse vending have proven to be insignificant.
  • TOMRA's former strategy of providing recycling technology equipment has changed into creating sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity
  • As a consequence of TOMRA's strategic shift and the lack of tangible synergies between Compaction and reverse vending solutions, TOMRA has divested TOMRA Compaction (Orwak).
  • Agreement signed 12 December 2014, Transaction closed 30 January 2015
  • Buyer: San Sac Nordic AB, owned by investment fund Accent Equity 2012
  • TOMRA to continue as distributor in five markets in a period of up to two years

BACKLOG DEVELOPMENT AND MOMENTUM

Comments

  • The order backlog declined in the period 1Q13- 3Q13, explained by
  • Large US order signed in 2012 and delivered in 2013
  • Generally lower order intake in the first three quarters of 2013
  • Resulting in a low order backlog end 3Q13
  • Good order intake the last five quarters combined fewer orders taken to P/L during the first 9 months of 2014, lead to
  • all time high order backlog at the end of 3Q14
  • Strong financial performance in 4Q14
  • Continued high order order intake in 4Q14 leads to good momentum into 2015
  • Seasonality in Food will lead to somewhat fewer order taken to P/L in 1Q15. Estimated backlog conversion ratio in 1Q15: 55-60%*

Outlook and shareholder structure

OUTLOOK

Long term trends:

  • The long term demand for better resource productivity is a result of megatrends such as population increase, a growing middle class consumer base and greater urbanization.
  • TOMRA, as a leader in sensor based solutions, is favorably positioned to capitalize on these trends

Collection Solutions:

  • Activity in Collection Solutions is assumed to be higher in 2015 than in 2014.
  • However, due to timing of orders, first quarter 2015 is expected to be somewhat weaker than first quarter 2014 whereas second half is expected to be stronger than prior year..

Sorting Solutions:

  • Improved backlog by the end of 2014 compared to end of 2013, indicates better momentum in TOMRA Sorting.
  • Due to timing of installations, the conversion rate (order taken to P/L compared to order backlog) is expected to be low in first quarter 2015. Revenues is consequently expected to be in line with first quarter 2014.
