NOTE: Estimated and rounded figures
Currency sensitivity
A strengthening/ weakening of EUR towards other currencies of 10% would normally decrease/increase EBITA by ~5%.
Hedging policy
CASHFLOW AND P/L
• TOMRA can hedge up to one year of future predicted cash flows. Gains and losses on these hedges are recorded as net financial items, not influencing EBITA
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 new and expanding markets. • Quarterly performance will be dependent upon timing of new initiatives. |
|---|---|
| Recycling | • Currently softer market sentiment leading to slower short-term growth. • Demand for recycled materials is expected to create attractive growth opportunities. • Based on the order backlog at the end of the third quarter, a 75% conversion ratio is estimated to be recognized as revenues in the fourth quarter. |
| Food | • Challenging macroeconomic environment is delaying customer investments. • Need for automation and increased quality and safety requirements create opportunities mid and long term. • Full savings effect of 30 MEUR cost reduction program expected by end of 2024. • Based on the order backlog at the end of the third quarter, a 80% conversion ratio is estimated to be recognized as revenues in the fourth quarter. |
| Other | • Capital expenditures from Horizon activities of approx. 50 MEUR are expected in 2024, primarily related to the two Feedstock sorting plants. |
| Currency | • TOMRA's global operations exposes the financial results to currency fluctuations. TOMRA will generally benefit from a stronger USD due to the revenue exposure. |
