Cashflow from operations

  • Cash flow from operations of 1,316 MNOK in 4Q 2023 (350 MNOK in 4Q 2022)

Hedging policy

CASHFLOW AND P/L

• TOMRA can hedge up to one year of future predicted cash flows. Gains and losses on these hedges are recorded at the finance line, not influencing EBITA

B/S

• TOMRA only hedges B/S items where exchange rate fluctuations could have P/L impact. Gains and losses on B/S hedging are recorded in accordance with IAS 21 and will normally not have P/L impact

Outlook

e

Collection
High activity related to new and expanding markets

Quarterly performance will be dependent upon timing of new initiatives
Recycling
Currently softer market sentiment leading to slower short-term growth

Demand for recycled materials is expected to create attractive growth opportunities
Food
Challenging macroeconomic environment is delaying customer investments

Full savings effect 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
Heightened sourcing and logistical risk is being monitored and is currently not
expected to be material
Currency
Reporting in NOK and with some NOK cost base, TOMRA will in general benefit
from a weak NOK, particularly against EUR and USD
