Europe

Austria launched its deposit return system for single-use beverage containers on 1 January 2025, contributing to strong sales in 2024.

Romania launched its deposit return system on 30 November 2023. Sales of equipment have continued at a steady pace after the launch.

Poland has approved an amending act for its planned deposit return system, which includes an updated commencement date set for 1 October 2025. The legislation mandates deposits on single-use plastic bottles of up to 3 liters, reusable glass bottles of up to 1.5 liters and metal cans of up to 1 liter.

Greece's parliament approved amendments to its waste management law in October 2024, setting 1 December 2025 as the new launch date for its upcoming deposit return system. In February 2025, additional secondary DRS legislation was signed into law by the Minister of Environment and the Minister of Economy. A system operator is yet to be assigned.

Portugal originally planned to introduce a deposit system in 2022. Following a delay, Portugal published its final DRS regulations in March 2024 and licensed its system operator in November. The system is planned to commence early 2026.

Spain introduced a packaging and packaging waste law in 2022, transposing the Single Use Plastic Directive (SUPD) into national law. A condition in the regulation states that if 70% of plastic bottles were not collected in the existing waste management system in 2023, the country will introduce DRS. In November 2024 it was concluded that the collection rate achieved was 41%, triggering the required implementation of deposit return system within two years.

In the United Kingdom, parliament passed regulation in January 2025 for England and Northern Ireland's upcoming deposit return system. 1 October 2027 is the planned commencement date and Scotland is in the process of aligning its legislation accordingly. The scheme will include single-use plastic, steel and aluminum drinks containers.

North America

The province of Quebec in Canada modernized and expanded its deposit return system on 1 November 2023, increasing deposit values and adding more beverage and container types into the system. The plan is to include all types of beverage containers between 100 mL and 2 L by 2025. TOMRA has entered into an agreement with Quebec Beverage Container Recycling Association (QBCRA) to equip recycling depots with approximately 1,350 machines over the next two-to-three years. Smaller, urban depots will be equipped on a sales and service basis, and larger depots will operate on a throughput revenue model.

Rest of the world

Tasmania is planning to launch its deposit return system in 1 May 2025, making Australia the first continent fully covered by deposit return systems. TOMRA has been appointed the sole reverse vending solutions provider through its joint venture with Cleanaway and will operate in the market with a throughput model.

In Singapore, the parliament passed legislation for a deposit return scheme in March 2023. The scheme operator has been licensed with an updated launch date set for 1 April 2026.

In Uruguay, a deposit return system for beverage containers was integrated in the Waste Management Law in September 2019. The implementation was originally planned for December 2024 but has been delayed.

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 10,200 systems have been installed in 100 countries worldwide.

4th quarter 2024

Revenues in Recycling increased 37% to 103 MEUR in the fourth quarter, compared to 75 MEUR last year. The record high revenues in the quarter were anticipated based on the order backlog at the beginning of the quarter.

OUTLOOK

The long-term demand for circular solutions and better resource productivity is a result of megatrends such as climate change and decarbonization efforts, 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.

Collection

High activity related to new and expanding markets. With several new deposit initiatives in the pipeline over the coming years, 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 demand for recycled materials, driven by consumer expectations, regulatory requirements, and sustainability commitments from the industry, will continue to create attractive growth opportunities across all segments. The market sentiment is currently softer in the plastics recycling segment leading to slower expected growth in the short term. Based on the order backlog at the end of the fourth quarter, a 45% conversion ratio is estimated to be recognized as revenues in the first quarter.

Food

A challenging macroeconomic environment and poor harvests are delaying customer investments, particularly in fresh food, which is expected to impact the growth and profitability in the short term. The full benefits of the cost reduction program of approximately 30 MEUR annually are expected going forward. The medium to long term outlook remains positive as customers face challenges with access to labor, higher labor costs and increased quality and safety requirements – driving the need to automate food processing. Based on the order backlog at the end of the fourth quarter, a 65% conversion ratio is estimated to be recognized as revenues in the first quarter.

Other

As a part of TOMRA Horizon, TOMRA has announced two investments into advanced Feedstock sorting plants for post-consumer plastics. The plants are expected to be operational in 2025/2026. Capital expenditures from Horizon activities of 40 MEUR are expected in 2025, primarily related to the Feedstock plants.

Currency

TOMRA's global operations exposes the financial results to currency fluctuations. With EUR as presentation currency, TOMRA will generally benefit from a stronger USD due to the revenue exposure.

THE TOMRA SHARE

The total number of issued shares at the end of the fourth quarter 2024 was 296,040,156 shares, including 251,167 treasury shares. The total number of shareholders decreased to 12,871 from 13,205 at the end of the previous quarter.

Share price development (NOK)

TOMRA's share price decreased to 146.6 NOK from 155.5 NOK during the fourth quarter 2024. The number of shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the period was 18 million compared to 42 million in the fourth quarter 2023. Average daily turnover decreased to 45 MNOK in the fourth quarter 2024 from 69 MNOK in the fourth quarter 2023.

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 2024. No significant changes have been made to the accounting principles in 2024. The quarterly reports do not 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 2024. 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 2024, which will be published 21 March 2025.

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 Australian Collection 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 ~50% of its income is nominated in EUR while the rest is in foreign currencies. Other major currency exposures include USD, AUD, and NZD. A strengthening/ weakening of EUR toward other currencies of 10% would normally decrease/increase EBITA by ~5%. An increase in NIBOR and EURIBOR of 1 percentage point, would increase financial expenses by ~4 MEUR per year.

Segment reporting: TOMRA is organized as three divisions; TOMRA Collection, TOMRA Recycling and TOMRA Food. In addition, new business activities included in TOMRA Horizon as well as the corporate overhead costs are reported in separate columns. 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.
  • TOMRA Horizon leverages our technology to develop new business opportunities and includes TOMRA Feedstock, TOMRA Reuse, TOMRA Textiles, and c-trace.
  • Group Functions consists of costs related to corporate functions at TOMRA.

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. TOMRA Recycling had 9 MEUR in revenues from transactions with TOMRA Feedstock in 2024, which is eliminated in Group Functions. 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.
  • EBITA, adjusted is the calculated profit (loss) for the period before (i) income tax expenses, (ii) finance income and expenses and (iii) amortizations, and (iv) special items.
  • Special items are result elements that are considered to be of one-off nature which do not reflect the performance in the underlying business.
  • 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 non-current). 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.
  • EPS is net profit after minority interest divided by number of shares issued less treasury shares held.
  • EPS, adjusted is net profit after minority interest before special items after tax, divided by number of shares issued less treasury shares held.
