Tove Andersen, President and CEO of TOMRA Systems ASA comments:

"I am very pleased that we continue to deliver on our strategic growth

ambitions, delivering all-time high revenues in all three divisions -

Collection, Recycling and Food. At the same time, we have lifted gross margins

in both Collection and Recycling while scaling up the organization for further

growth and continuing to innovate. We are also taking further actions to improve

performance in our Food division where we have been seeing weaker market

sentiment in the current macroeconomic environment."

"TOMRA is well positioned to develop adjacent opportunities to our core

business, and I am very excited about the progress we are making in these new

ventures. There is a legislative push to advance the circularity of plastic

packaging through recycled content targets and reusable takeaway packaging. In

TOMRA, we innovate new circular business models based on our technology. This

quarter, we announced together with Plastretur that we will create Norway's

first dedicated sorting plant to enable circular plastic packaging. We also

entered into collaboration with Aarhus Municipality in Denmark to create the

country's first deposit system for takeaway packaging. All these ventures have

the potential to become additional profitable business divisions in TOMRA."

"Looking ahead, we are optimistic about the long-term demand for better resource

productivity, which is driven by megatrends such as population increase, a

growing middle-class consumer base, greater urbanization, and hence the need for

increased focus on sustainability and climate change. With the technology we

provide, TOMRA is well-positioned to enable society meet the challenges that

follow by transforming how we obtain, use and reuse our world's resources."
