DIVISION REPORTING

Collection

TOMRA Collection provides reverse vending machines (RVMs) that ensure efficient collection of beverage containers for Clean Loop Recycling and reuse. With over 82,000 installations across more than 60 markets, TOMRA's RVMs capture over 46 billion used bottles and cans each year.

Revenues in Collection were record high and equaled 1,952 MNOK in the second quarter 2023, up from 1,519 MNOK in second quarter last year. Adjusted for currency, revenues were up 15% driven by new sales in Hungary, increased sales in Romania and continued sales into the expanded DRS market in the Netherlands.

Europe

Romania is set to implement a deposit system as of 30 November 2023. Retailers are preparing for the system introduction and continued to make investments into RVMs in the quarter at an increasing pace.

Hungary will implement a deposit refund system for glass and plastic bottles as well as metal cans from 1 January 2024 which has contributed to new sales in the second quarter 2023. Last year TOMRA was appointed as a supplier of high volume systems to MOL Group which will operate the Hungarian deposit refund system.

The Netherlands extended its deposit system to include cans from 1 April 2023 which has more than doubled the volume of collected beverage containers. New equipment sales in The Netherlands have contributed positively to revenue growth in the first half year 2023 as retailers have upgraded their systems.

Scotland was set to implement its deposit return scheme in August 2023, but has delayed the implementation to when the rest of UK is planning on implementing DRS, which is earliest October 2025. As a result of the delay, TOMRA is downsizing its Scottish operations.

North America

Volumes in North America increased 3% in the second quarter 2023 compared to the same period last year. The USD strengthening had a positive impact on reported performance.

The province of Quebec will gradually roll out its expansion and modernization of the current deposit system from 1 November 2023. To begin, all aluminum beverage containers will be included, and deposit value will increase from 5 to 10 cents on existing containers. Further expansion is set to come in 2025 to include all beverage sold in plastic and glass bottles, and cartons.

Rest of the world

The introduction of the state of Victoria's (Australia) container deposit scheme, which will commence on 1 November 2023, is progressing according to plan. TOMRA will install over 400 reverse vending machines at automated collection points.

Tasmania (Australia) is also in the process of implementing a deposit scheme, set to commence mid 2024, but has not yet announced its network operator.

In Uruguay, a deposit return scheme for beverage containers is also in process of implementation, planned to commence by the end of 2024.

Recycling

TOMRA Recycling provides advanced sensor-based sorting technologies for the global recycling and waste management industry to transform resource recovery and create value from waste and keep materials in a closed loop recycling. More than 9,000 systems have been installed in 100 countries worldwide.

Revenues equaled 789 MNOK in the second quarter 2023 compared to 552 MNOK in the same period last year, up 26% currency adjusted.

The positive momentum continued in all geographies and sorting segments. Growth has been particularly strong in North America and Asia and in the waste sorting segment, contributing to the increase in order intake.

P&L from operations

Gross margin was 51% in the second quarter 2023, up from 49% in second quarter 2022.

Operating expenses amounted to 239 MNOK in the second quarter 2023. This is in line with the previous quarter on a currency adjusted basis, but an increase from 172 MNOK compared to the same period last year. The increase is mainly a result of business expansion and currency effects.

EBITA was 161 MNOK in the second quarter 2023, compared to 100 MNOK in the same period last year.

Order intake was 900 MNOK in the second quarter 2023, up 16% currency adjusted from the same quarter last year.

Food

TOMRA Food provides advanced sensor-based sorting and grading machines enabling global food production to maximize food safety and minimize food loss, by making sure Every Resource Counts™. The company has more than 13,800 units installed at food growers, packers and processors around the world.

Revenue in Food amounted to 1,139 MNOK in the second quarter 2023 compared to 983 MNOK in the same period last year, up 4% currency adjusted. Growth in sales continued within processed food but declined within fresh food as customers have delayed investments due to a challenging macroeconomic environment.

P&L from operations

Gross margin was 43% in the second quarter 2023, down from 44% in the same period last year due to a less favorable product and project mix.

Operating expenses amounted to 369 MNOK in the period, which is in line with the previous quarter adjusted for currency. Compared to the second quarter last year, it is an increase from 283 MNOK corresponding to 19% currency adjusted. The increase is a result of normalization of business activity post covid and build up of the organization for higher growth than currently expected due to recent weakness in fresh food. Steps are being taken to adjust the cost base.

EBITA was 121 MNOK in the second quarter 2023, compared to 151 MNOK in the same period last year.

Order intake was 1,024 MNOK in the first quarter 2023, down 18% compared to the same quarter last year adjusted for currency. The quarterly decline is primarily within fresh food, but also some in processed food.

The order backlog was 1,128 MNOK at the end of first quarter 2023, down 28% compared to the second quarter 2022 adjusted for currency as a result of lower order intakes.

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. Technology is a key enabler in meeting this challenge, and TOMRA is favorably positioned towards these trends.

Continued pricing actions and cost measures are expected to mitigate supply chain and continued inflation effects.

Collection

With several new deposit initiatives in the pipeline, the division will continue to experience high activity related to preparation for new markets. Quarterly performance will be dependent upon timing of new initiatives.

Recycling

The positive momentum in Recycling is expected to normalize from the high growth level in the last 24 months. The demand for circular solutions, driven by consumer expectations, regulatory requirements, and sustainability commitments from the industry, will continue to create opportunities.

Food

A challenging macroeconomic environment is delaying customer investments, particularly in fresh food, which is expected to impact the growth in the short term. The long term outlook remains positive as access to labor, higher labor costs and increased quality and safety requirements are driving the need to automate food processing.

Currency

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

THE TOMRA SHARE

The total number of issued shares at the end of the first quarter 2023 was 296,040,156 shares, including 513,815 treasury shares. The total number of shareholders amounted to 12,173 at second quarter 2023 (12,175 at the end of the first quarter 2023).

Share price development (NOK)

TOMRA's share price decreased to 172.5 NOK from 176.0 NOK during the second quarter 2023. The number of shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the period was 20 million, down from 32 million the second quarter 2022. Average daily turnover decreased to 60 MNOK in the second quarter 2023 from 101 MNOK in the second quarter 2022.

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 2022.

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 Collection 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 ~1% 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 10 million per year.

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

Assets and liabilities are distributed to the different reporting segments. Cash, tax positions, and interest-bearing 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 2022 or 2023.

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) and lease liabilities (current and noncurrent). 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 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.

The direct impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and subsequent sanctions is very limited for TOMRA. Measures have been put in place to apply by the imposed sanctions and the situation is being monitored closely.

TOMRAs 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 is 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.
