Having joined Doro towards in the middle of June, I am delighted to report the business is delivering good profits and generating a strong cash flow. EBIT for the quarter was SEK 12,6 million giving us an operating margin of 6,1%. Cash flow for operating activities was SEK 44.2 million with free cash flow after investments of SEK 31.7 million. These results provide us with a strong platform from which we can invest in growing our business both within telecoms and into new categories.
Sales for the second quarter were SEK 206.7 million, an increase of 1,8% compared to the same quarter of 2023, and step in the right direction after a relatively slow first quarter. Sales performance was uneven across our main markets. Strong mobile phone sales in France, aided slightly by customers pulling forward orders from early July into June ahead of an increase in WEEE* fees in France from July 1, 2024, were somewhat offset by a less favourable result in Sweden as a result of fewer B2B sales.
Gross margin for the quarter was 44.6%, up 4,3pts versus the same period last year thanks to a focus upon trading customers up to 4G technology. We have also benefited from the work done over the past twelve months to improve operational efficiency through, for example, reducing in in-bound freight costs. Operating expenses remain well in control.
During the quarter our product office worked hard to finalise our newest product, the video doorbell. This is fantastic addition to the Doro range enabling seniors to preview who is at the door via their phone and, uniquely, if they are not comfortable answering then they can pass the call to a relative or trusted friend. We will launch the product through a few selected retailers and via our D2C business during Q3 as we gear up for greater distribution later in the year.
Our technical teams have been engaged in developing the next generation of feature phones and smartphones. The new models being developed will be another step forward in functionality and design and will be compliant with both the USB-C and Eco design directives. We are finalising plans for the introduction of the new feature phone models during Q4 as the first step in this re-stage of our full mobile phone business.
In the middle of June, we announced the signing of a Share Purchase Agreement for the divestment of our German subsidiary IVS. Once complete this will align our approach with our other regions and allow us to focus completely on driving sales and upon increasing our share of the German market.
During the course of my first month with Doro, I have spent time in our Malmö HQ and with our teams in France and the UK. I have been astounded by the immense engagement everyone has towards our goal of enriching the lives of seniors. This engagement combined with excellent products and an efficient supply chain provides a strong foundation from which to build. As such, I am excited for the many opportunities that lie ahead and to unlocking the full potential of the business.
*Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is an EU scheme under which a fee is paid by the eventual seller (retailer) of electronic goods to the end user. Fees in France were increased for certain electronic goods from July 1, 2024. The fee for mobile phones and smartphones increased by €1,67 per unit.
Net sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 206.7 million (203.0), an increase of 1.8 percent compared to the same period in 2023. Sales of Doro Feature phones and Smartphones were stable while the sales of non-Doro products in Germany decreased. In some markets, we experienced customers, mostly distributors, placing fewer orders than expected as they focus upon reducing their own inventory. Retail customers, mostly in France and the UK, on the other hand had a strong quarter.
Sales in the Nordics amounted to SEK 48.7 million (56.1), a decrease of 13.2 percent compared to previous year. The main driver behind this drop is a combination of exceptionally strong B2B sales in Q2, 2023 and weaker than normal B2B sales in the current quarter. Furthermore, the decision of the operators to postpone the shutdown of the 2G network from 2025 to 2027 has momentarily reduced pressure for customers to upgrade to 4G technology.

Sales per region

Sales in Western and Southern Europe reached SEK 87.1 million (72.9), an increase of 19.5 percent. This was a very good quarter for the region, even though partly boosted by some orders been shifted from next quarter by customers anticipating the increase of regulatory fee (due to happen July 1st). Both Feature phones and Smartphones grew compared to last year, in revenue but even more so in margin resulting in the best ever quarter for the region in terms of margin.
Sales in Central and Eastern Europe amounted to SEK 29.8 million (32.9), a decrease of 9.4 percent. We are in the final stages of divesting IVS and the restructuring of our German business. The decline in sales come from fewer sales of non-Doro products as we focus our business completely on products under the Doro brand. We experience positive signals from key customers in relation to this strategy and growth in our D2C business.
Sales in UK and Ireland were equal to the Q2 2023 at SEK 41.1 million. Maintaining sales versus the same quarter last year can be considered as a good performance considering aggressive price campaigns from competitors and the continued shrinking of the featurephone market. Sales of 2G and 4G products remain strong with both contributing to higher margins than last year due to a strong product mix. During the quarter, we introduced our 8200 Smartphone model to complement the 8100 that has now been in market for over 2 years. The new model contributed to improving the margin of this category. Our on-line D2C business continues to be grow strongly.

At the end of the second quarter, order backlog stood at SEK 72.8 million, a decrease by 30.3 % compared to the same quarter last year.
Gross margin for the second quarter reached 44.6 percent compared to 40.3 percent last year. This was driven by a higher volume of 4G and Smartphones in the product mix, combined with lower purchase prices for several products. The planned switch to sea-freight as our predominant mode of transport has enabled Doro to maintain stable transport costs, compared to previous quarter, despite an overall increase of rates, both for air shipment and shipment by sea. We retain the option of using combined sea-air freight to accelerate deliveries whilst being sure to keep transport costs under control.
EBIT amounted to SEK 12.6 million (1.0) during the second quarter, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 6.1 percent (0.5). The improvement in EBIT is a direct consequence of higher margins and tight control of operating expenses. There was a slight increase of marketing investments during the period linked to the preparation of activities and campaigns to come for the launch of new products during the fall.
The net financial items for the period amounted to SEK 2.5 million (0.1). The effective tax rate for the period was 21.5 percent (22.9) excluding one off items, mainly dividends from subsidiaries. The result amounted to SEK 14.3 million (1.1) during the second quarter.

The geopolitical situation with trade tensions between major economies like the US and China is a significant source of risk for telecom business. Regional unrest around the Red sea is still very tangible with disruptions in the supply chain for freight from Asia as a main consequence. Technology challenges, partly in connection with increased sustainability requirements, is an ongoing risk but well attended to by our technical teams. Variability in exchange. rates, particularly the value of the Swedish krona against other major currencies, remains a factor of uncertainty for the Doro business, highly exposed to foreign currencies. IT risks have increased slightly during the period in connection with the change of CEO, but our IT department keeps a close monitoring and all employees have been informed and educated.
Other risks are described on pages 34–35 of the Annual Report 2023.

Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within the European Union have been issued by ESMA (the European Securities and Markets Authority). These guidelines apply to APMs disclosed when publishing regulated information on or after July 3, 2016. Reference is made in the interim report to a number of non-IFRS performance measures that are used to help investors as well as management analyse the company's operations. Described below are the non-IFRS performance measures that are used as a complement to the financial information that is reported in accordance with IFRS.
| Non-IFRS performance measure |
Description | Reason for use of the measure |
|---|---|---|
| Gross Margin % | Net Sales minus Cost of goods and services sold in percentage of Net Sales. |
Gross Margin is an important measure for showing the margin before Other operating expenses. |
| Sales growth comparable entities % |
Net Sales for the period minus Net Sales for entities acquired during the year minus Net Sales for the corresponding period last year in percentage of Net Sales for the corresponding period last year. |
Sales growth for comparable entities shows the Group's organic growth excluding acquired businesses. |
| Currency adjusted Sales growth % |
Net Sales for the period minus Net Sales for the corresponding period last year recalculated using this year's currency exchange rates in percentage of Net Sales for the corresponding period last year recalculated using this year's currency exchange rates. |
The measure shows the Sales growth excluding the effect of changes in currency exchange rates between the years. |
|---|---|---|
| Equity/assets ratio | Equity expressed as a percentage of total assets. |
A traditional measure for showing financial risk, expressing the amount of restricted equity which is financed by the owners. |
| Return on average shareholders' equity |
Profit/Loss rolling twelve months after financial items and tax divided by average shareholders' equity. |
Shows from a shareholder perspective the return that is generated on the owners' capital that is invested in the company. |
| Capital employed | Total assets reduced with non interest-bearing debt and cash and bank balances. |
This measure shows the amount of total capital that is used in the operations and is thus one component for measuring the return from operations. |
| Return on average capital employed |
Operating profit/loss rolling twelve months, divided by the quarterly average capital employed excluding cash and bank balances. |
This is the central ratio for measuring the return on the capital tied up in operations. |
