· Gross margin was 40%, in line with the margin in the first quarter 2022

· Operating expenses amounted to 1,027 MNOK, in line with the previous quarter

when adjusted for currency

· EBITA was 277 MNOK, down 8% compared to last year, mainly as a result of

business expansion

· Strong cash flow from operations of 509 MNOK, compared to 166 MNOK in the

first quarter 2022

· Significant increase in Recycling's order backlog of 30%

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

"I am very pleased with the progress we are making on our strategic ambitions in

TOMRA in the first quarter. We have a plan to accelerate growth and continue to

see strong revenue growth materializing across all our divisions: Collection,

Recycling, and Food. Our efforts to mitigate the effects of inflation and supply

chain disruptions in order to improve gross margins are paying off. We have

recuperated margins in Recycling and Food and see continued improvement in

Collection."

"We deliver an EBITA of 277 MNOK, up 17% from the first quarter 2022. However,

as we have been scaling up our business over the past year to capture growth

opportunities that lie ahead of us, EBITA has fallen 8% compared to the first

quarter 2022 when adjusting for currency movements. Profitability is a priority

for us, and we are confident that the organization we now have built will

deliver on our profitability target as the business continues to grow."

"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 help society meet the challenges that

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