challenging market environment

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

"Q1 confirms that we are on the right track. The rollout in Poland is

accelerating, we are actively positioning ourselves in upcoming markets

including the UK, while underlying growth in existing markets was 5%. Food

delivered good growth and strong commercial activity continues. Recycling is

still facing a challenging market, but we are executing on our 16 MEUR cost

reduction program which will gradually improve profitability. The quarter was

impacted by short-term product mix effects, but the underlying development in

all segments gives us confidence going forward."

Revenues in TOMRA Group grew 9% (12% CC) to 334 MEUR in the quarter (1Q25: 306

MEUR). Collection revenues grew 12% (15% CC) to 208 MEUR (1Q25: 185 MEUR) with

steady growth in existing markets and new markets contributing 49 MEUR - mainly

driven by the installed base in Poland surpassing 4,000 RVMs. In Recycling,

revenues fell 19% (19% CC) to 37 MEUR (1Q25: 46 MEUR) following decline in

orders last year given the weak market sentiment. In Food, revenues grew 13%

(17% CC) to 79 MEUR (1Q25: 70 MEUR) as citrus continued to grow and diversify

revenue streams.

The order intake in Recycling was 41 MEUR in the quarter (1Q25: 61 MEUR),

reflecting a continued challenging market environment with sentiment in line

with the past three quarters. In Food the order intake was down 8% to 80 MEUR

(1Q25: 87 MEUR) due to strong comparables with the positive market sentiment

continuing.

Gross margin for TOMRA Group was 40.2% in the quarter (1Q25: 42.6%), driven by

negative mix effects across the divisions. Collection at 39.5% (1Q25: 41.0%) had

a higher share of RVM sales to services combined with lower product margin in

Poland. Recycling at 40.5% (1Q25: 44.7%) had low volumes (scale effect) and a

continued high share of metals. Food at 40.8% (1Q25: 43.8%) had a larger-than

-normal share of third-party peripheral equipment sales related to large

packhouse projects.

Operating expenses, adjusted for special items, increased 4% to 108 MEUR in the

quarter (1Q25: 104 MEUR), driven by inflation, ramp-up in UK and Poland and

Clynk.

This left EBITA adj. at EUR 26M, same as last year, with an EBITA adj. margin of

7.7% (1Q25: 8.4%).
