BUSINESS AREA REPORTING

TOMRA Collection Solutions First quarter 2016

The business area reported a revenue increase of 24% in first quarter 2016, compared to same period last year. After adjustment for currency changes, revenues were up 14%.

Europe

Currency adjusted revenues in first quarter were up 26% in Europe, compared to first quarter 2015. The increased activity was mainly fueled by replacement demand in Germany and Sweden.

Lithuania introduced deposit 1 February 2016. The ramp up and implementation has gone according to plan.

Order intake during first quarter 2016 totaled 661 MNOK, up from 573 MNOK during the same quarter last year (up 7% currency adjusted).

Due to a good order intake during first quarter (all time high), and fewer orders taken to P/L, the business area ended the quarter with a backlog of 829 MNOK, up from 659 MNOK at the end of fourth quarter 2015.

Business streams

Food

Revenues in the Food business stream were up in first quarter 2016 compared to first quarter 2015. The order intake was significantly up quarter over quarter, leading to an all time high order backlog at the end of first quarter 2016.

Recycling

Revenues in Recycling in first quarter 2016 were slightly up compared to same quarter last year. The order intake and order backlog were stable. Challenging commodity markets are currently limiting growth opportunities.

Mining

Revenues in Mining in first quarter 2016 were stable compared to same quarter last year, but remain low. The depressed market in all commodities is continuing to limit investments among the world's mining companies, negatively influencing activity in the Mining business stream. The exception is within gem stones (Diamonds), where there is increased interest from the industry.

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 in 2016, but second half of 2016 is expected to be stronger than first half.

TOMRA Sorting Solutions

Currently good momentum in Food sorting, but low commodity prices negatively impact Mining.

Currency

Reporting in NOK and with some NOK cost base, TOMRA will in general benefit from a weak NOK, measured particularly against EUR. TOMRA will consequently continue to gain from a weak NOK, provided current exchange rate levels are maintained.

TOMRA SHARE PRICE

The total number of issued shares at the end of first quarter 2016 was 148,020,078 shares, including 163,139 treasury shares. The total number of shareholders decreased from 5,875 at the end of fourth quarter 2015 to 5,869 at the end of first quarter 2016. Norwegian residents held 29% of the shares at the end of first quarter 2016.

TOMRA's share price decreased from NOK 95.50 to NOK 86.25 during first quarter 2016. The number of shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the period was 19 million compared to 11 million in the same period in 2015.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Annual General Meeting took place 25 April 2016 in Asker. All agenda points were approved, including a dividend of NOK 1.75 per share

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 31 March 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 tax-positions, 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 2015.

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 classifies under Group Functions in the segment reporting.
