Business streams

Food

Revenues in the Food business stream were slightly down in fourth quarter 2015 compared to fourth quarter 2014. The order intake was up quarter over quarter, leading to a higher order backlog at the end of fourth quarter 2015.

Recycling

Revenues in Recycling in fourth quarter 2015 were significantly up compared to same quarter last year. Order intake was down, both measured against previous quarters in 2015, as well as fourth quarter 2014. The high number of orders delivered combined with lower order intake, resulted in a significant reduction in the order backlog.

Mining

Revenues in Mining in fourth quarter 2015 were slightly up compared to same quarter last year.

The significant reduction in investments among the world's mining companies has had a negative influence on the order intake. The lack of new orders led to a low order backlog at the end of fourth quarter 2015.

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

The replacement demand in Germany is assumed to continue in 2016, but first quarter 2016 is expected to be slower than the last quarters in 2015, and more in line with first quarter 2015.

TOMRA Sorting Solutions

Due to a reduced backlog during fourth quarter 2015, first quarter 2016 revenue is expected to be lower than the last quarters in 2015, and more in line with first quarter 2015

Currency

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

THE TOMRA SHARE

The total number of issued shares at the end of fourth quarter 2015 was 148,020,078 shares, including 391,082 treasury shares. The total number of shareholders increased from 5,671 at the end of third quarter 2015 to 5,875 at the end of fourth quarter 2015. Norwegian residents held 27% of the shares at the end of fourth quarter 2015.

TOMRA's share price increased from NOK 80.00 to NOK 95.50 during fourth quarter 2015. The number of shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the period was 13 million compared to 16 million in the same period in 2014. The Board has proposed a dividend of NOK 1.75, up from NOK 1.45 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 period ending 31 December 2015 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. These will be adopted in the period that they become mandatory unless otherwise indicated:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments 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

TOMRA is considering the effects of the future adoption of these standards. The current assessment is that TOMRA does not expect any material effects in the financial statements from the new standards.

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 8-12%. An increase in NIBOR and EURIBOR of 1 percentage point, would increase financial expenses by ~NOK 10 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 areas. There are no material related party transactions in 2015.

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 2014: 1.35 NOK x 147.9 million shares = NOK 199.6 million Paid out May 2015: 1.45 NOK x 147.8 million shares = NOK 214.3 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 will continue to operate as a distributor in some markets in a period of up to two years. The P/L impact from the Compaction business is reported as discontinued operations in both 2014 and 2015. TOMRA has given representations and warranties in line with what is considered normal in such transactions. In the balance sheet, the assets and liabilities related to the Compaction business were classified as "held for sale" at the end of 2014.
