TOM - Tomra expectations for the first quarter 2004
Based on many questions regarding the short-term opportunities for TOMRA related to technology needs for non-refillable containers in Germany, TOMRA wishes to communicate its expectations for the first quarter 2004.
TOMRA emphasizes that it does not anticipate orders in the first quarter 2004 connected to deposit on non-refillable containers in Germany, which could have an impact on revenue and profit in the quarter. TOMRA therefore anticipates a flat development in both revenue and operating profit in the first quarter 2004 versus the first quarter 2003. The company expects revenue in the first quarter 2004 to equal approximately 550 MNOK (versus 530 MNOK in the first quarter 2003) and an operating profit in line with first quarter 2003, which was 30 MNOK.
