TOMRA GROUP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIALS

2nd quarter 2024

Revenues in the second quarter 2024 amounted to 333 MEUR compared to 332 MEUR in the same quarter last year. Revenues increased 15% in Collection but declined 15% in Recycling and 16% in Food. The decline in Recycling and Food is due to a softer market sentiment and a higher share of projects with longer lead times resulting in lower backlog conversion rates.

The gross margin increased to 44% in the second quarter 2024 compared to 42% in the second quarter 2023, with margin improvements across all three divisions. The increase is driven by a positive business and product mix as well as price adjustments.

Revenues (MEUR) and gross margin (%)

Operating expenses were 101 MEUR in the second quarter 2024, adjusted for one-off costs, which is in line with the previous quarter and an increase of 6% from 96 MEUR in the same period last year. The increase is mainly related to business expansion, and cost inflation. Reported operating expenses amounted to 102 MEUR including minor one-off costs of 0.5 MEUR related to the Food restructuring program.

TOMRA Horizon activities (including Feedstock, Reuse and Textiles) are reported as a separate segment. Operating expenses for Horizon amounted to 1.8 MEUR in the second quarter 2024, compared to 1.6 MEUR in the same quarter last year.

EBITA, adjusted for one-off costs, was 44 MEUR with an EBITA margin of 13%. This is a decrease from 46 MEUR and an EBITA margin of 14% in the same period last year. The decline is a result of lower volumes in Recycling and Food. Including one-off costs, EBITA was 43 MEUR.

Earnings per share amounted to 0.08 MEUR in the second quarter 2024, compared to 0.09 MEUR in the same quarter last year.

Europe

Poland assigned its first system operator in March 2024 for its planned deposit return system. The system will allow for multiple operators. 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. The scheme is planned to commence on 1 January 2025.

Austria has an amended Waste Management Law to transpose the EU Single Use Plastic Directive and plan to introduce a deposit return system for single-use beverage containers. The commencement date is set to 1 January 2025, contributing to sales in the first half 2024.

Hungary implemented its deposit return system on 1 January 2024, contributing to strong equipment sales in 2023. Sales continued in the second quarter 2024, albeit at a slower pace than in the past quarter.

Romania launched its deposit return system on 30 November 2023. Sales of equipment to retailers have continued at a steady pace in the last quarters.

The Netherlands expanded 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 continued in the quarter at a similar pace as in the last quarter.

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

In November 2023, the state of Victoria introduced a deposit return system, setup as a throughput model. Revenues are expected to increase gradually as the volume of returned beverage containers increases.

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

Tasmania is in the process of implementing a deposit scheme, set to commence in the second half 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 10,200 systems have been installed in 100 countries worldwide.

Revenues in Recycling equaled 57 MEUR in the second quarter 2024 compared to 68 MEUR in the same period last year, down 15%. The decline is due to a softer market sentiment in European plastics recycling and a lower backlog conversion rate in the quarter, driven by a higher share of large projects with longer lead times.

P&L from operations

Gross margin was 53% in the second quarter 2024, up from 51% in the second quarter last year due to a favorable business and product mix.

Operating expenses amounted to 20 MEUR in the second quarter 2024. This is 1 MEUR lower than last quarter, but an increase from 19 MEUR in the second quarter last year due to inflation.

EBITA was 10 MEUR in the second quarter 2024, down from 15 MEUR in the same period last year due to lower volumes.

Order intake was 65 MEUR in the second quarter 2024, down 12% from the same quarter last year. The order intake development in waste sorting has remained solid, while the market sentiment continues to be soft in the segment for plastics recycling.

The order backlog increased to 133 MEUR at the end of the second quarter 2024 – the highest level on record. This is an increase of 9% from 121 MEUR in the same period 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 15,000 units installed at food growers, packers and processors around the world.

Revenues in Food amounted to 82 MEUR in the second quarter 2024, down 15% from 97 MEUR in the same quarter last year. The decline is attributed to a softer market in fresh food categories and a lower backlog conversion rate.

P&L from operations

* Food restructuring one-off costs

Gross margin was 45% in the second quarter 2024, an increase from 43% in the same period last year. Cost savings and a favorable product mix contributed to the higher margin.

Operating expenses amounted to 29 MEUR in the quarter when adjusting for one-off costs, which is a decrease of 10% from the second quarter last year. The cost reduction program which targets to save approximately 30 MEUR annually (a combination of operating expenses and cost of goods sold) is running according to plan. Restructuring costs of 0.5 MEUR related to the program have been booked in the quarter. Including restructuring costs, operational expenses amounted to 29 MEUR in the quarter.

EBITA was 8 MEUR in the second quarter 2024, adjusted for one-off costs, compared to 10 MEUR in the same period last year. The decline is attributed to lower sales volumes. Including the restructuring costs, EBITA was 8 MEUR in the quarter.

Order intake was 83 MEUR in the second quarter 2024, down 2% compared to the same quarter last year.

The order backlog was 119 MEUR at the end of the second quarter 2024, which is an increase of 23% from 96 MEUR at the end of the second quarter 2023.

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

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 market activity in Recycling is normalizing after extraordinary high growth in 2022 and 2023. While the market sentiment is currently softer leading to slower expected growth in the short term, 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. Based on the order backlog at the end of the second quarter, a 45% conversion ratio is estimated to be recognized as revenues in the third 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 30 MEUR are expected by year end 2024. 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 second quarter, a 65% conversion ratio is estimated to be recognized as revenues in the second 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 40-50 MEUR are expected in 2024, 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 second quarter 2024 was 296,040,156 shares, including 251,167 treasury shares. The total number of shareholders increased to 13,612 from 13,252 at the end of the previous quarter.

Share price development (NOK)

TOMRA's share price decreased to 127.4 NOK from 169.6 NOK during the second quarter 2024. The number of shares traded on the Oslo Stock Exchange in the period was 24 million, up from 20 million in the second quarter 2023. Average daily turnover decreased to 54 MNOK in the second quarter 2024 from 60 MNOK in the second quarter 2023.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNOTE 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. The quarterly reports do not however 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 2023.

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 ~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, and TOMRA Textiles.
  • 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 4 MEUR in revenues from transactions with TOMRA Feedstock so far in 2024, which is eliminated in Group Functions. There were no material related party transactions in 2022 or 2023.
