This was due to the good order intake in the quarter, combined with a positive currency effect (most orders are in EUR and USD, but are presented in NOK for reporting purposes). The order backlog at the end of fourth quarter 2014 was 657 MNOK, up 38% from 475 MNOK at the end of fourth quarter 2013.

Full year

In 2014 revenues within the business area amounted to 1,926 MNOK, up from 1,784 MNOK in 2013. Adjusted for currency changes, revenues were up 3%. Gross margin was stable at 45% (up 1% point currency adjusted). Operating expenses were up 2%, after adjusting for currency and one-time costs. EBITA was 204 MNOK, up from 199 MNOK last year.

Businessstreams

Food

Revenues in the Food business stream were significantly up fourth quarter 2014 compared to fourth quarter 2013. The order intake was slightly down, compared to a strong fourth quarter in 2013.

Recycling

Revenues in Recycling in fourth quarter 2014 were significantly up, compared to same quarter last year. Order intake was slightly up, both measured against previous quarters in 2014, as well as fourth quarter 2013.

Activity within metal recycling has for a longer period of time been low, negatively influenced by commodity prices and uncertain business environment.

Mining

Revenues in Mining in fourth quarter 2014 were up compared to same quarter last year. As a result of a strategic focus on industrial minerals, gem stones and standard products, Mining has experienced a significant increase in order intake in 2014, and ended 2014 with a significantly higher order backlog than one year ago.

MARKET OUTLOOK

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.

TOMRA 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.

TOMRA Sorting Solutions

Improved backlog at the end of 2014, compared to end 2013, indicates better momentum in TOMRA Sorting Solutions, but due to timing of installations, the conversion ratio (order taken to PL/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.

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.

THE TOMRA SHARE

The total number of issued shares at the end of fourth quarter 2014 was 148,020,078 shares, including 244,685 treasury shares. The total number of shareholders decreased from 5,843 at the end of third quarter 2014 to 5,763 at the end of fourth quarter 2014. Norwegian residents held 27% of the shares at the end of fourth quarter 2014.

TOMRA's share price increased from NOK 49.00 to NOK 57.50 during fourth quarter 2014. The number of shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the period was 16 million compared to 9 million in the same period in 2013. The Board has proposed a dividend of NOK 1.45, up from NOK 1.35 last year

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 DISCLOSURE

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS34, and in accordance with the principles used in the annual accounts for 2014. The quarterly reports do not however include all information required for a full annual financial statement of the Group and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statement for 2014. The quarterly reports have not been audited. The quarterly reports require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgments made by management in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2014.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not effective for the company for the period ending 31 December 2014, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 14 Regulatory Deferral Accounts 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

The new standards are not expected to have any material effects on the financial statements.

Revenue recognition: Revenues from sales and sales-type leases of the company's products are generally recognized at the time of installation. Revenues from service contracts and operating leases of the company's products are recognized over the duration of the related agreements. Other service revenues are recognized when services are provided.

Seasonality: The Material Recovery operations, and to some extent the US Reverse Vending operations, are influenced by seasonality. The seasonality mirrors the beverage consumption pattern in the US, which normally is higher during the summer (2Q and 3Q) than during the winter (1Q and 4Q). Also the Food business stream within Sorting Solutions is influenced by seasonality, with somewhat higher activity during the harvest season in the northern hemisphere.

Financial exposures: TOMRA is exposed to currency risk, as only ~3% of its income is nominated in NOK. A strengthening/ weakening of NOK toward other currencies of 10% would normally decrease/increase operating profit by 10-12%. An increase in NIBOR and EURIBOR of 1 percentage point, would increase financial expenses by ~NOK 14 million per year.

Segment reporting: TOMRA has divided its primary reporting format into two business areas: Collection Solutions and Sorting Solutions. In addition, the corporate overhead costs are reported in a separate column. 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.

  • Collection Solutions consists of the business streams 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
  • Sorting Solutions consists of the business streams Food, Recycling and Mining, all providing advanced optical sorting systems
  • Group Functions consists of costs related to corporate functions at TOMRA's headquarters

Assets and liabilities are distributed to the different business streams, except for cash, interest-bearing debt and tax-positions, which are allocated to Group Functions. There are no material revenues from transactions with other business streams. There are no material related party transactions in 2014.

The divested Compaction business is classified as discontinued operations in the profit and loss statement and as assets/liabilities held for sale in the balance sheet, and classifies under Group Functions in the segment reporting.

NOTE 2 DIVIDEND PAID

Paid out May 2013: 1.25 NOK x 147.9 million shares = NOK 184.9 million Paid out May 2014: 1.35 NOK x 147.9 million shares = NOK 199.6 million

NOTE 3 Discontinued operations

Tomra signed 12th December 2014 an agreement with San Sac Nordic AB to sell 100% of the shares in Tomra Compaction Group AB for a consideration of SEK 110 million (free of cash and interest bearing debt) . Closing took place 30 January 2015. Tomra has given representations and warranties in line with what's is considered normal in such transactions. Tomra Compaction has been a separate business stream within the Tomra Collection business area. The profit and loss figures are reported as discontinued operations in 2014 and the 2013 figures has been restated accordingly. In the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities related to the Collection business has been classified as "held for sale".
