B/S

• TOMRA only hedges B/S items where exchange rate fluctuations could have P/L impact. Gains and losses on B/S hedging are recorded in accordance with IAS 21 and will normally not have P/L impact

Outlook

Collection
High activity related to preparation for new markets

Quarterly performance will be dependent upon timing of new initiatives
Recycling
Positive momentum assumed to continue but normalize from high 2022-2023 levels

Demand for recycled materials is expected to create opportunities
Food
Challenging macroeconomic environment is delaying customer investments

Need for automation and increased quality and safety requirements create
opportunities mid and long term
Other
Pricing actions and cost measures are expected to mitigate continued inflation

Lower risk of sourcing shortages and logistical bottlenecks
Currency
Reporting in NOK and with some NOK cost base, TOMRA will in general benefit
from a weak NOK, particularly against EUR and USD
