POTENTIAL NEW DEPOSIT MARKETS / CHANGE DEPOSIT LEGISLATION

LITHUANIA

  • Introduction of national deposit system in Lithuania from February 2016
  • Through-put model, where machine provider gets paid based upon units collected thru the machines
  • TOMRA in negotiations with system operator to provide equipment
  • Potential of up to 1000 machines

CROATIA

  • Current deposit system expected to be changed from 2015, allowing bar code recognition and compaction of bottles and cans
  • J/V with local distributor established
  • Potential of up to 1000 machines

MASSACHUSETTS

  • Ballot initiatives in November 2014 to include water and sport drinks in the current deposit system
  • Potential for including an additional 1.4 billion bottles per year

TOMRA COMPACTION

  • TOMRA acquired Orwak Group in 2005.
  • Orwak (later named TOMRA Compaction) is a business stream within TOMRA Collection Solutions, leveraging potential front-end synergies (sales and service) based on overlapping customer segments
  • Actual synergies between compaction and reverse vending have proven to be insignificant.
  • TOMRA's former strategy of providing recycling technology equipment has changed into creating sensor-based solutions for optimal resource productivity
  • As a consequence of TOMRA's strategic shift and the lack of tangible synergies between Compaction and reverse vending solutions, TOMRA will start a process to divest TOMRA Compaction (Orwak).

BACKLOG DEVELOPMENT AND MOMENTUM

Comments

  • The order backlog declined in the period 1Q13- 3Q13, explained by
  • Large US order signed in 2012 and delivered in 2013
  • Generally lower order intake in the first three quarters of 2013
  • Resulting in a low order backlog end 3Q13
  • Good order intake the last four quarters combined fewer orders taken to P/L during the first 9 months of 2014, leading to
  • all time high order backlog at the end of 3Q14
  • Expect strong financial performance in 4Q14

15

  • Good momentum into 2015
  • Estimated backlog conversion ratio in 4Q14: 80- 85%*

Outlook and shareholder structure

OUTLOOK

Long term trends:

• The long term demand for better resource productivity is a result of megatrends such as population increase, a growing middle class consumer base and greater urbanization. TOMRA, as a leader in sensor based solutions, is favorably positioned to capitalize on these trends

Collection Solutions:

No new markets are expected to generate significant revenues in the coming quarters and activity is consequently assumed to be stable and in line with previous quarters

Sorting Solutions:

  • The combination of a stronger order intake four consecutive quarters combined with a limited number of orders taken to P/L, has led to an all time high order backlog at the end of third quarter 2014
  • Revenues and profit in TOMRA Sorting are consequently expected to improve in fourth quarter 2014, compared to previous three quarters
