|---|---|
| Recycling | • The market activity is normalizing after extraordinary high growth in 2022 and 2023 • Demand for recycled materials continues to drive demand for high quality sorting |
| Food | • Challenging macroeconomic environment and weak harvests are delaying customer investments • Benefits of 30 MEUR (~350 MNOK) cost reduction program expected by end of 2024 • Need for automation and increased quality and safety requirements create opportunities mid and long term |
| Other | • Pricing actions and cost measures are expected to mitigate continued inflation • Lower risk of sourcing shortages and logistical bottlenecks |
| Currency | • Reporting in NOK and with some NOK cost base, TOMRA will in general benefit from a weak NOK, particularly against EUR and USD |
