The equity ratio decreased from 54% at year end 2015 to 52% at the end of June 2015, due to dividend of 259 MNOK paid out in May 2016.

Net interest bearing debt decreased by 34 MNOK during the same period, as the free cash flow more than offset the dividend payment. At the end of second quarter 2016 NIBD/EBITDA on a rolling 12 month basis was equal to 0.64.

Reporting in NOK and with some NOK cost base, TOMRA will in general benefit from a weak NOK, measured particularly against the EUR and somewhat against the USD. First half 2016 vs first half 2015, EUR and USD both strengthened 9% versus NOK, positively influencing revenues by approximately 9% points and EBITA by approximately 12% points.

The overall momentum in TOMRA Sorting has been satisfactory in second quarter 2016, where strong Food performance has compensated for a somewhat slower Recycling performance.

With both all time high order intake and all time high revenues (measured in NOK), the quarter ended with a healthy order backlog of NOK 816 MNOK, almost unchanged from end 1Q16.

Business streams

Food

Revenues in the Food business stream were up in second quarter 2016 compared to second quarter 2015. The order intake was also up in the same period.

Recycling

Continuing low prices on several commodities had a somewhat negative effect on the performance of the Recycling business stream. Both revenues and order intake was consequently down in second quarter 2016 compared to second quarter 2015.

Mining

Revenues in Mining were unchanged in second quarter 2016 compared to same quarter last year. The order intake has been stable at a low level.

MARKET OUTLOOK

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.

TOMRA Collection Solutions

The replacement demand in Germany is assumed to continue into 2017, but the replacement in Sweden is expected to come to an end during second half of 2016

TOMRA Sorting Solutions

Currently good momentum in Food, but low commodity prices are negatively influencing Recycling and Mining

Currency

Reporting in NOK and with some NOK cost base, TOMRA will in general benefit from a weak NOK, measured particularly against EUR.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 Disclosure

This interim report has been prepared in accordance with IAS34, and in accordance with the principles used in the annual accounts for 2015. The quarterly reports do not however include all information required for a full annual financial statement of the Group and should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statement for 2015. The quarterly reports have not been audited. The quarterly reports require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The significant judgments made by management in preparing these condensed consolidated interim financial statements in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2015.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are not effective for the period ending 30 June 2016 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those which may be relevant to the Group are set out below. The Group does not plan to adopt these standards early. These will be adopted in the period that they become mandatory unless otherwise indicated:

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers IFRS 19 Leases Amendments to IAS 12 – Recognition of Deferred Tax Assets for Unrealized Losses Amendment to IAS 7 – Disclosure Initiative

TOMRA is considering the effects of the future adoption of these standards. The current assessment is that TOMRA does not expect any material effects in the financial statements from the new standards.

Revenue recognition: Revenues from sales and sales-type leases of the company's products are generally recognized at the time of installation. Revenues from service contracts and operating leases of the company's products are recognized over the duration of the related agreements. Other service revenues are recognized when services are provided.

Seasonality: The Material Recovery operations, and to some extent the US Reverse Vending operations, are influenced by seasonality. The seasonality mirrors the beverage consumption pattern in the US, which normally is higher during the summer (2Q and 3Q) than during the winter (1Q and 4Q). Also the Food business stream within Sorting Solutions is influenced by seasonality, with somewhat higher activity during the harvest season in the northern hemisphere.

Financial exposures: TOMRA is exposed to currency risk, as only ~4% of its income is nominated in NOK. A strengthening/ weakening of NOK toward other currencies of 10% would normally decrease/increase operating profit by 8-12%. An increase in NIBOR and EURIBOR of 1 percentage point, would increase financial expenses by ~NOK 8 million per year.

Segment reporting: TOMRA has divided its primary reporting format into two business areas: Collection Solutions and Sorting Solutions. In addition, the corporate overhead costs are reported in a separate column. The split is based upon the risk- and return profile of the Group's different activities; also taking into consideration TOMRA's internal reporting structure.

  • Collection Solutions consists of the business streams Reverse Vending (development, production, sales and service of Reverse Vending Machines and related data management systems) + Material Recovery (pick-up, transportation and processing of empty beverage containers on behalf of beverage producers/fillers on the US East Coast and in Canada)
  • Sorting Solutions consists of the business streams Food, Recycling and Mining, all providing advanced optical sorting systems
  • Group Functions consists of costs related to corporate functions at TOMRA's headquarters

Assets and liabilities are distributed to the different business streams, except for cash, interest-bearing debt and taxpositions, which are allocated to Group Functions. There are no material revenues from transactions with other business areas. There are no material related party transactions in 2016.

NOTE 1 Disclosure (cont.)

Alternative performance measures:

Alternative performance measures used in this report are defined in the following way:

  • EBITA is the calculated profit (loss) for the period before (i) income tax expenses, (ii) finance income and expenses and (iii) amortization.

  • Net interest bearing debt is calculated as the difference between interest-bearing debts and cash and cash equivalents. Interest-bearing debts include loans from financial institutions (current and non-current loans) and cash and cash equivalents include short-term deposits, cash funds and bank accounts.

  • Currency adjusted revenues is the change in revenues, after adjusting for estimated currency effect.

The divested Compaction business is classified as discontinued operations in the profit and loss statement and as assets/liabilities held for sale in the balance sheet, and classified under Group Functions in the segment reporting.

NOTE 2 Dividend paid

Paid out May 2015: 1.45 NOK x 147.8 million shares = NOK 214.3 million
Paid out May 2016: 1.75 NOK x 147.9 million shares = NOK 258.8 million
