TOMRA, the global technology leader in sensor-based solutions for optimal
resource productivity, announces its financial results for the second quarter
2024.
Revenues for the Group amounted to 333 MEUR in the quarter, in line with the
second quarter last year. Collection revenues grew 15% to 193 MEUR compared to
the second quarter 2023, with strong sales in all regions. In Recycling,
revenues declined 15% to 57 MEUR compared to the second quarter 2023, in line
with the estimated backlog conversion ratio for the quarter. In Food, the softer
market sentiment led to a decline in revenues of 16% to 82 MEUR compared to the
second quarter 2023, which is a 4 percentage points higher backlog conversion
ratio than estimated.
The combined order backlog in Recycling and Food grew 16% to an all-time high
252 MEUR compared to the second quarter last year, despite the order intake
being down 12% and 2% to 65 MEUR and 83 MEUR in Recycling and Food respectively.
Gross margins for TOMRA Group increased from 42% to 44% in the second quarter
compared to the same period last year, with improvements in all three divisions.
Compared to the second quarter last year, Collection's gross margin increased
from 39% to 40%, Recycling's from 51% to 53% and Food's from 43% to 45%. The
increases are driven by a positive business and product mix as well as price
adjustments.
Operating expenses in the quarter were 101 MEUR (excluding 0.5 MEUR one-off
costs), which is in line with the previous two quarters.
EBITA, adjusted for one-off costs, was 44 MEUR in the quarter compared to 46
MEUR in the second quarter last year.
Earnings per share excluding one-off costs amounted to 0.08 MEUR in the second
quarter compared to 0.09 MEUR in the same quarter last year.

Tove Andersen, President and CEO of TOMRA Systems ASA comments:
"It is great to see the strong momentum continuing in our Collection division,
and it is encouraging to see a steady introduction of new deposit return schemes
(DRS). Installations of reverse vending machines have continued at a good pace
in Romania and Hungary. We are also experiencing high activity in Austria which
will introduce DRS for single use containers in January 2025. The market
sentiment is still softer in Recycling and Food, where revenues were down as
expected in the quarter. Despite this, the order intake was solid and the
combined order backlog is at a record high level - highlighting the continued
need for automation and increased circularity to enable a world without waste".
