TOMRA, the global technology leader in sensor-based solutions for optimal
resource productivity, announces its financial results for the third quarter
2025.
Tove Andersen, President and CEO of TOMRA Systems ASA comments:
"It's really exciting days in TOMRA. Results are muted in the quarter, largely
due to a weak market sentiment that continues in Recycling, but Collection and
Food deliver a solid quarter. We congratulate Poland on having launched their
deposit return system on 1 October, which will be the second biggest deposit
market to date. We have seen high commercial activity in the market for some
time and now we are moving into a phase where a large number of machines are to
be installed in the coming months. We look forward to supporting Poland realize
its recycling ambitions, and to the launch of more markets - such as Portugal -
next year."
Revenues in TOMRA Group amounted to 306 MEUR in the quarter (3Q24: 326 MEUR), a
decrease of 6% from last year. Collection revenues were down 5% to 179 MEUR from
a strong third quarter last year (3Q24: 189 MEUR). In Recycling, revenues were
40 MEUR (3Q24: 59 MEUR) which is 3 MEUR lower than estimated by the conversion
ratio for the quarter. In Food, revenues were down 2% to 76 MEUR (3Q24: 78
MEUR), marginally higher than estimated by the conversion ratio.
The order intake in Recycling was 42 MEUR in the quarter (3Q24: 61 MEUR), in
line with the order intake in the second quarter. Low customer investment
sentiment continued in North America and Europe within plastics and waste
sorting. The Recycling order backlog ended at 109 MEUR (3Q24: 134 MEUR). In
Food, the order intake was up 6% to 77 MEUR (3Q24: 73 MEUR). The Food order
backlog grew 21% to a record high 138 MEUR (3Q24: 114 MEUR) with many large
orders to be delivered in 2026.
Gross margin for TOMRA Group increased to 44% in the quarter (3Q24: 43%). The
Collection gross margin improved to 42% (3Q24: 41%) on business mix effects. Low
volumes and product mix effects in Recycling, where a higher-than-normal share
of sales were into the metals recycling segment, led to a gross margin of 44%
(3Q24: 51%). The gross margin in Food increased to 45% (3Q24: 43%), enabled by
last year's cost savings.
Operating expenses, adjusted for special items, increased to 104 MEUR in the
quarter (3Q24: 97 MEUR) due to the inclusion of c-trace, ramp up of Feedstock
operations, and transaction costs related to the acquisition of CLYNK.
EBITA, adjusted for special items, was 30 MEUR in the quarter (3Q24: 44 MEUR)
with a corresponding EBITA margin (adj.) of 10% (3Q24: 13%). Collection's EBITA
margin was 16% (3Q24: 18%), while low volumes and product mix effects in
Recycling resulted in a negative EBITA margin in the quarter (3Q24: 17%). In
Food, the EBITA margin (adj.) increased to 10% (3Q24: 8%), in line with the
targeted EBITA margin this year.
Earnings per share, adjusted for special items, were 0.05 EUR (3Q24: 0.07 EUR).
