COVID-19 BUSINESS UPDATE

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have some impact on the business, though to a lesser extent than in the previous four quarters. Social distancing measures have limited TOMRA's ability to meet new customers, participate in trade events and utilize resources across countries.

Although uncertainty remains, technology continues to be a success factor for our customers and the demand for TOMRA's solutions is strong across all business segments.

The essential nature of the markets that TOMRA serves continues to be a strength. Despite temporary challenges, the business has fared well due to a competitive offering, close customer proximity and the trust inherent in long term business relationships. As governments are increasingly advancing a green agenda, TOMRA is well positioned to supply solutions for a circular economy and sustainable food production.

DIVISION REPORTING

TOMRA Collection Solutions

Revenues in the business area equaled 1,379 MNOK in the second quarter, up from 1,055 MNOK in second quarter last year. After adjustment for currency changes, revenues were up 43%, driven by good momentum in Europe, but also a due to a slow second quarter 2020, which was negatively influenced by COVID-related lockdowns.

- in % 20 % 11 % 19 % 12 %

Gross margin increased to 44% in the second quarter, from 39% in the same period last year, a result of both operating leverage, product/customer mix and a weak margin in second quarter 2020.

Operating expenses equaled 325 MNOK, compared to 290 MNOK last year, due to business expansion. EBITA was 278 MNOK, up from 118 MNOK last year.

Europe

The strong momentum in Europe continued in second quarter 2021. Northern European and German markets have been growing in the second quarter 2022 compared to the same period last year, which was mostly unaffected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Netherlands expanded July 1 st , 2021, the current deposit system on large plastic bottles to include small bottles. The deposit expansion in The Netherlands has been an important contributor to revenue growth in the first two quarters of 2021.

A further expansion of the Dutch deposit system, including cans, has been announced as taking place December 31st , 2022.

In September 2020, Slovakia announced the implementation of a deposit system as of January 1 st , 2022.

On April 9 th , 2021, it was announced that TOMRA has been selected as reverse vending technology provider for the new Latvia deposit return system. TOMRA will supply approximately 800 automated collection points, combining around 625 indoor reverse vending solutions and 175 outdoor kiosks.

4

The final agreement has been signed on July 15, 2021, with 1 st February 2022 as commencement date.

Scotland approved DRS regulations in May 2020 and the commencement date of July 1 st , 2022, was passed into law. On March 24th , 2021, Scotland appointed a scheme administrator representing drinks producers, trade associations and retailers.

On February 22nd , 2021, UK has launched a public consultation regarding DRS for England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The consultation document states that the scheme is currently anticipated to start in late 2024. The consultation was open until June 4 th , 2021.

North America

The North American business is running at similar levels as before the Covid-19 pandemic, but is significantly up compared to second quarter 2020, when redemption centers and bottle rooms were closed due to lockdown measures.

Australia (Rest of the World)

Volumes in Australia were somewhat down in June due to new COVID outbreaks.

On April 14th , 2021, the state of Victoria announced the commencement of the deposit scheme in 2023. The scheme design is a split responsibility model where an open tender will take place after the legislation is approved by the parliament.

TOMRA Recycling Mining

Revenues equaled 439 MNOK in second quarter 2021 compared to 354 MNOK in the same period last year, up 33% in local currencies. There are still some negative effects from the Covid-19 pandemic, but the underlying momentum is good.

The Metal sorting and Mining segments has also improved as a result of increased industrial demand and better commodity prices.

Gross margin was 53% in second quarter 2021, down from 55% in second quarter 2020.

Operating expenses amounted to 140 MNOK in second quarter 2021 compared to 129 MNOK in second quarter 2020, driven by further investments into circular economy initiatives.

Home consumption has boosted the grocery business and sustained the good momentum in fresh food throughout the Covid-19 pandemic.

The momentum in the food service sector has turned to an increasingly positive one and the order intake so far in 2021 has been well above 2020 levels.

Travel restrictions and social distancing measures continue to be a challenge when meeting new customers.

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, the emergence of e-commerce and greater urbanization. TOMRA, as a leader in sensorbased solutions, is favorably positioned to capitalize on these trends.

The current COVID-19 pandemic is not materially stalling our business, and apart from some local lockdowns, there is generally higher optimism, increased willingness to invest and an overall improved business sentiment.

At the same time, there is uncertainty created by different factors partly out of TOMRA's control, like the risk of potential new outbreaks of new virus variants that could impact negatively.

Component shortages (e.g. semi-conductors), travel restrictions and logistical bottlenecks will continue to create challenges, in particular on larger and complex projects, which require delivery, installation and commissioning of systems from various vendors.

Travel restrictions will sometimes also limit our ability to perform on-site service and installations.

Higher commodity process will impact our business, both in respect of increased demand for TOMRA's solutions, but also negatively influencing the production cost of our own products.

Most of TOMRA's main customers, being Food Retail, Food Producers, and the Waste Management industry, are all defined as critical services that to a large extent continue to operate at levels similar to before the crisis with a sound financial position.

Due to a combination of TOMRA's customer centricity, its robust service network and production operations as well as a sound financial position, TOMRA will continue to weather the storm by handling upcoming challenges and aiming to capitalize on emerging opportunities. TOMRA's business fundamentals remain intact, and the core strategy is unchanged. TOMRA will continue to invest in future growth. The pandemic has contributed to acceleration of digital solutions, which TOMRA views as an opportunity for improved employee working conditions, productivity improvements and customer service. Hence, TOMRA continues to invest in developing a robust and leading digital platform.

TOMRA Collection Solutions

The divisions will experience high activity related to preparation for new markets. The quarterly performance will be dependent upon timing of new initiatives.

TOMRA Recycling Mining

The positive momentum in Recycling is expected to continue. An increased demand for circular solutions, fueled by consumer awareness, legislative initiatives and commitments from the industry, will continue to create opportunities. In the short term, the COVID-19 situation could still have some negative effects on the division.

TOMRA Food

The outlook remains positive for medium and longterm opportunities in both the fresh and processed food segments. The COVID-19 situation will still create some challenges in the short-term as travel is restricted, trade fairs are cancelled, and transportation delays can result in interruptions.

Currency

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

THE TOMRA SHARE

The total number of issued shares at the end of second quarter 2021 was 148,020,078 shares, including 289,884 treasury shares. The total number of shareholders decreased from 10,833 at the end of first quarter 2021 to 10,545 at the end of second quarter 2021.

TOMRA's share price increased from NOK 370.30 to NOK 475.00 during second quarter 2021. The number of shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the period was 12 million, down from 32 million in second quarter 2020. Average daily turnover decreased during the same period from 110 MNOK to 88 MNOK.

ANNUAL GENERAL ASSEMBLY

The annual general assembly took place May 4 th in Asker. All agenda points were approved, including a dividend of NOK 3.00 per share, which was paid out May 14th .

ORGANIZATIONAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Tove Andersen will start in the role of President & CEO of TOMRA on August 16, 2021, replacing Stefan Ranstrand, who has been at the helm of the Group since August 2009. The Board would like to use this opportunity to express its appreciation of TOMRA's many achievements under his leadership.

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 2020.

A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations were not effective for the year ended 30 June 2021 and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated financial statements. Those that 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 17 Insurance Contracts Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations Amendments to IAS 16 Property, plant and Equipment Amendments to IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies Amendment to IAS 12 Income Taxes

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, to some extent the US Reverse Vending operations as well as the TCS Australian operations are influenced by seasonality. The seasonality mirrors the beverage consumption pattern, which normally is higher during the summer than during the winter.

Financial exposures: TOMRA is exposed to currency risk, as only ~2% of its income is nominated in NOK. A strengthening/ weakening of NOK toward other currencies of 10% would normally decrease/increase operating profit by 10-15%. An increase in NIBOR and EURIBOR of 1 percentage point, would increase financial expenses by ~NOK 15 million per year.

Segment reporting: TOMRA is organized as three divisions; TOMRA Collection Solutions and TOMRA Recycling Mining and TOMRA Food 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.

  • TOMRA Collection Solutions consists of the business streams Reverse Vending (development, production, sales and service and lease 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)
  • TOMRA Recycling Mining is a provider of advanced optical sorting systems to the Recycling and Mining industries.
  • TOMRA Food is a provider of advanced optical sorting systems to the Food industry.
  • Group Functions consists of costs related to corporate functions at TOMRA's headquarters

The reporting format was changed from fourth quarter 2020, as the previous segment TOMRA Sorting Solutions has been split into two reporting segments; TOMRA Food Solutions and TOMRA Recycling Mining. As part of the split, the cost related to circular economy has been moved from Group Functions to TOMRA Recycling Mining (50 MNOK in 2020). The figures for the first three quarters of 2020 has been restated accordingly.

Assets and liabilities are distributed to the different reporting segments. Cash, tax positions, and interestbearing debt (not including IFRS 16 lease liabilities) are allocated to Group Functions. There are no material revenues from transactions with other business areas. There were no material related party transactions in 2020 or 2021.

Alternative performance measures

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

  • EBITDA is the calculated profit (loss) for the period before (i) income tax expenses, (ii) finance income and expenses, (iii) amortizations and (iv) depreciations.
  • EBITA is the calculated profit (loss) for the period before (i) income tax expenses, (ii) finance income and expenses and (iii) amortizations.
  • EBIT is the calculated profit (loss) for the period before (i) income tax expenses and (ii) finance income and expenses.
  • Depreciations is the allocated cost of tangible assets over its useful life + write downs related to the same assets
  • Amortizations is the allocated cost of intangible assets over its useful life + impairment losses related to the same assets
  • Net interest-bearing debt is calculated as the difference between interest-bearing debt and cash. Interest-bearing debt includes loans from financial institutions (current and non-current loans). Cash includes cash equivalents as short-term deposits, cash funds and bank accounts.
  • Currency adjusted revenues/gross contribution/operating expenses/EBITA is the revised revenues/gross contribution/operating expenses/EBITA after adjusting for estimated currency effect.
  • Order backlog is defined as the value of firm orders received within TOMRA Recycling Mining and TOMRA Food Solutions that has not yet been delivered (and consequently not yet taken to P/L).
  • Order intake is defined as Order backlog at the end of a period minus Order backlog at the beginning of a period plus revenues for the relevant period
  • Cost of goods sold refers to the direct costs attributable to the production of the goods sold.
  • Gross contribution is defined as Revenues minus Cost of goods sold
  • Gross margin is defined as Gross contribution divided by Revenues in percent.
  • Operating expenses is defined as Revenues minus Gross contribution minus EBITA
  • EBITA margin is defined as EBITA divided by Revenues in percent.
  • Gearing ratio is Net interest-bearing debt / EBITDA

COVID-19

Tomra has been influenced by the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, but in general more limited than other industries, as most of Tomra's customers have been classified as "essential businesses" that have continued to operate during the crises. Food retail, Food producers and Waste management represents the most important customer segments, which all have been operating with only limited interference.

Tomra's revenues and profit have therefore only been moderately impacted by the crises. There have not been identified any new impairment triggers. There are no material B/S items that are viewed as further exposed due to the crises. There are significant headroom towards the loan covenants. The liquidity reserves are good, and access the eventual additional funding is satisfactory. Tomra has only received limited government grants and support during the crises. There have not been identified any going concern topics.
