EBITA was 225 MNOK in second quarter 2022, down from 278 MNOK in the same period last year.


Europe
European markets are stable in second quarter 2022 compared to the same period last year.
Latvia introduced a deposit return scheme on February 1st, 2022, and TOMRA's business model is a through-put model where revenues consist of a handling fee per container collected. Volumes are ramping up, the effect in second quarter 2022 has been limited, but volumes in June were on a satisfactory trajectory.
Romania is set to introduce a deposit system with an implementation timeline of 2022-2023. The retailers are preparing for the system introduction and new equipment sales contributed positively to revenue growth in second quarter 2022.
During first half of 2022, Collection established subsidiaries in Türkiye, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Serbia.
North America
Volumes in North America had a positive development in second quarter 2022 compared to the same period last year, on the back of a good momentum in commodities. In addition, the USD strengthening had a positive impact on reported performance.
On June 14th, 2022, the state of Quebec approved the final regulations for the expansion and modernization of the current deposit system. The modernization is planned to go live on November 1, 2023, and will include plastic bottles, aluminum and metal cans, glass and, from 2025, cardboard beverage packaging.

Rest of the world
Volumes in Australia are negatively impacted by heavy rainfall in second quarter 2022, whereas last year they were negatively impacted by Covid-19 lockdowns towards the end of second quarter.
On April 14th, 2021, the state of Victoria announced the commencement of the deposit scheme in 2023. The scheme design is a split responsibility model where network operators are to be appointed via an open and competitive process by late 2022.

| - in % | 18 % | 21 % | 18 % | 15 % |
Gross margin was 49% in second quarter 2022, down from 53% in second quarter 2021, negatively influenced by sourcing costs and inflationary pressure that have not been fully recouped through price increases during the second quarter. In addition, the product mix is somewhat unfavorable compared to the same period last year due to a higher share of the growth stemming from the material upgrading segment and new applications.
Operating expenses amounted to 172 MNOK in second quarter 2022 compared to 140 MNOK in the same period last year, mainly due to business expansion and higher marketing and sales activities.

Food

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. Technology is a key enabler in meeting this challenge, and TOMRA is favorably positioned towards these trends.
Supply chain issues and cost inflation will continue to be a pressure point in the short-term. Pricing actions and cost measures are expected to mitigate supply chain and inflation effects in the medium term.
The direct impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions is very limited for TOMRA. However, additional complexity, and implications on a macro level could impact negatively.

Collection
With several new deposit initiatives in the pipeline, the division will continue to experience high activity related to preparation for new markets. Quarterly performance will be dependent upon timing of new initiatives.
Recycling
The positive momentum in Recycling is expected to continue. An increased demand for circular solutions, fueled by consumer awareness, regulatory requirements, and commitments from the industry, will continue to create opportunities.
Food
The outlook remains positive for medium and longterm opportunities in both the fresh and processed food segments. The demand signals are good in both segments, and higher labor costs are driving the need to automate.
Currency
Reporting in NOK and with some NOK cost base, TOMRA will in general benefit from a weaker NOK, measured particularly against EUR.
THE TOMRA SHARE
The total number of issued shares at the end of first quarter 2022 was 296,040,156 shares, including 268,568 treasury shares. The total number of shareholders increased from 11,916 at the end of first quarter 2022 to 12,220 at the end of second quarter 2022.
Share Price

TOMRA's share price decreased from NOK 225.65 to NOK 182.68 during second quarter 2022. The number of shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the period was 32 million, up from 24 million in second quarter 2021. Average daily turnover increased during the same period from 88 MNOK to 101 MNOK.

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 2021). 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 2021. 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 2021.
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations were not effective for the period ended 31 March 2022 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those that 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 17 Insurance Contracts Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors Amendments to IAS 12 Income Taxes
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, to some extent the US Reverse Vending operations as well as the TCS Australian operations are influenced by seasonality. The seasonality mirrors the beverage consumption pattern, which normally is higher during the summer than during the winter.
Financial exposures: TOMRA is exposed to currency risk, as only ~1% of its income is nominated in NOK. A strengthening/ weakening of NOK toward other currencies of 10% would normally decrease/increase operating profit by 10-15%. An increase in NIBOR and EURIBOR of 1 percentage point, would increase financial expenses by ~NOK 10 million per year.
Segment reporting: TOMRA is organized as three divisions; TOMRA Collection, TOMRA Recycling Mining and TOMRA Food. 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.
- TOMRA Collection consists of the business streams Reverse Vending (development, production, sales and service and lease 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)
- TOMRA Recycling Mining is a provider of advanced optical sorting systems to the Recycling and Mining industries.
- TOMRA Food is a provider of advanced optical sorting systems to the Food industry.
- Group Functions consists of costs related to corporate functions at TOMRA's headquarters

Assets and liabilities are distributed to the different reporting segments. Cash, tax positions, and interestbearing debt (not including IFRS 16 lease liabilities) are allocated to Group Functions. There are no material revenues from transactions with other business areas. There were no material related party transactions in 2021 or 2022.
Alternative performance measures
Alternative performance measures used in this report are defined in the following way:
- EBITDA is the calculated profit (loss) for the period before (i) income tax expenses, (ii) finance income and expenses, (iii) amortizations and (iv) depreciations.
- EBITA is the calculated profit (loss) for the period before (i) income tax expenses, (ii) finance income and expenses and (iii) amortizations.
- EBIT is the calculated profit (loss) for the period before (i) income tax expenses and (ii) finance income and expenses.
- Depreciations is the allocated cost of tangible assets over its useful life + write downs related to the same assets
- Amortizations is the allocated cost of intangible assets over its useful life + impairment losses related to the same assets
- Net interest-bearing debt is calculated as the difference between interest-bearing debt and cash. Interest-bearing debt includes loans from financial institutions (current and non-current loans) and lease liabilities (current and non-current). Cash includes cash equivalents as short-term deposits, cash funds and bank accounts.
- Currency adjusted revenues/gross contribution/operating expenses/EBITA is the revised revenues/gross contribution/operating expenses/EBITA after adjusting for estimated currency effect.
- Order backlog is defined as the value of firm orders received within TOMRA Recycling Mining and TOMRA Food that has not yet been delivered (and consequently not yet taken to P/L).
- Order intake is defined as Order backlog at the end of a period minus Order backlog at the beginning of a period plus revenues for the relevant period
- Cost of goods sold refers to the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold.
- Gross contribution is defined as Revenues minus Cost of goods sold
- Gross margin is defined as Gross contribution divided by Revenues in percent.
- Operating expenses is defined as Revenues minus Gross contribution minus EBITA
- EBITA margin is defined as EBITA divided by Revenues in percent.
- Gearing ratio is Net interest-bearing debt / EBITDA
TOMRA has been influenced by the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, but in general more limited than other industries, as most of TOMRA's customers have been classified as "essential businesses" that have continued to operate during the crises. Food retail, Food producers and Waste management represents the most important customer segments, which all have been operating with only limited interference.
The direct impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions is very limited for TOMRA. Measures have been put in place to apply by the imposed sanctions and the situation is being monitored closely.
TOMRAs revenues and profit have therefore only been moderately impacted by the crises. There have not been identified any new impairment triggers. There are no material B/S items that are viewed as further exposed due to the crises. There is significant headroom towards the loan covenants. The liquidity reserves are good, and access the eventual additional funding is satisfactory. Tomra has only received limited government grants and support during the crises. There have not been identified any going concern topics.
