Tove Andersen, President and CEO of TOMRA Systems ASA comments:
"Over the last months, activity in TOMRA has been high with four new markets - Romania, the state of Victoria (AUS), Hungary, and Ireland - introducing a deposit return scheme (DRS), leading to strong revenue growth in the quarter. DRS is a proven system to boost recycling rates, and it is encouraging to see that seven existing DRS systems around the world have been expanded and modernized in the same period. Building on our reverse vending technology, we are now also piloting the world's first open managed deposit system for reusable takeaway packaging in Aarhus, Denmark. In Recycling, we continue to deliver on a strong order backlog, recognizing all-time high revenues in the quarter and a currency adjusted order intake growth of 11%. In Food, we are making firm progress on our cost reduction program and are on track to deliver 10-11% EBITA margin run-rate at the end of 2024."
"Overall, Collection and Recycling delivered growth and EBITA margin improvements in 2023 well in line with our strategic ambitions of an average annual growth rate of 15% and EBITA margin improvement to 18% by 2027. In Food, we are taking firm actions to improve profitability and refocus the organization to be ready when growth in the market returns. While it is a softer market sentiment momentarily, looking ahead we are confident in the long-term demand for increased circularity and better resource productivity. TOMRA is well-positioned to enable a world without waste - transforming how we obtain, use and reuse our world's resources."

Den norske virksomhed Tomra, som blandt andet laver flaskeautomater, stiger på børsen i Oslo torsdag morgen med 24 pct. efter et noget stærkere regnskab for fjerde kvartal end ventet.
Imponerende resultat fra Tomra i fjerde kvartal, hvor salget imponerer markant på tværs af alle tre divisioner. Stærk ordreindgang i Recycling og Food, som kommer ind markant bedre, end vi havde forventet, kan få markedet til at genvinde lidt af troen på fremtiden, skriver Jyske Bank i en kommentar.
Tomra omsatte i fjerde kvartal for 4,12 mia. norske kr., hvilket var langt over analytikerforventningerne ifølge Bloomberg News på 3,62 mia. norske kr.
Driftsresultatet, EBITA, på 252 mio. norske kr. var også markant over konsensusforventningerne på 216,2 mio. kr.

Ultimo 2023 var Tomras kurs 123,45
I starten af denne uge var kursen under 100
Og her til formiddag er kursen tilbage i 125.
En industri- og servicevirksomhed burde ikke hoppe og danse på den måde. De er utålmodige, de nordmænd.

Tak for analysen.
Jeg savner en lidt grundigere vurdering af mulighederne for at udvide Tomras marked. De har erobret markedet for flasker og dåser. Men de har også ambitioner inden for andet affald, fødevarer og mineraler. Nogle af de markeder kunne måske blive større end drikkeemballagen.
