Q3 has been an encouraging quarter for Doro business. For the first time since the Covid pandemic, we returned as exhibitors to the IFA trade show in Berlin during early September. It was inspiring to once again be able to meet so many of our customers and consumers at the same time. We enjoyed positive feedback regarding our newly launched products, especially on the Doro Watch, which fulfils an overlooked need for simplicity and easy-to-use features in the world of connected watches.
Although the economic challenges continued with fluctuating sell-out and though we saw an overall decline by 10.5% compared to the previous year, our third quarter was still a step forward as net sales reached 241.2 million SEK, making Q3 as expected the best quarter this year. We also had a decent rebound in major operator and retailer channels, especially in France and the UK, with both regions consequently generating sales on par with the previous year. The situation in DACH and Nordic, however, was more complicated with lower demand coming mainly from the distribution side.
The ever-increasing US dollar rate continued to drive up costs. However, our coming price adjustment effective from the next quarter, should at least partially mitigate the negative cost development. That said, moderation will have to be exercised since the market in general, and retailers in particular, are increasingly reluctant to accept further price increases. Despite the cost increase, Doro margin wise benefited from its hedging of the US Dollar and consequently the gross margin came in at 37.7% compared to 35.9% during the same quarter of the previous year. As the USD continues to strengthen, we do foresee some challenges in maintaining this margin level but are taking mitigating actions. EBIT in the quarter amounted to SEK 26.9 million, which although a decrease by 33.6 percent compared to the previous year, still is a reasonably satisfying result considering the current challenges.
As it stands now, the economic situation is foreseen to remain challenging in the coming quarter, with sales at lower levels than the previous year. However, the positive feedback on our new non-phone products, and the success of our latest 4G feature phones gives us confidence for the future. In addition, a number of exciting partnerships were announced at IFA, such as the German Golf Association, which will help us further promote our brand, our products and more importantly our mission of creating a better life for seniors. Last but not least, we were also proud to announce our new cooperation with the German rock-star Doro Pesch, as a nod to our brand name which we happen to share with the artist, who has warmly embraced our passion and dedication to making seniors' lives easier.

Net sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 241.2 million (269.4), a decrease of 10.5 percent compared with the same period in 2021. The quarter offered a mixed picture; sustained demand from operators and a positive rebound in retail channels but meanwhile a sharp decline in the demand from distributors. Nevertheless, the quarter overall was the strongest in 2022 and a clear step forward from previous quarters.
Sales in the Nordics came in at SEK 47.0 million (65.5), a decline of 28.2 percent, but the comparison with last year is somewhat unwarranted due to the one-off major operator deal in 2021. Like for like, Nordic sales in the quarter were only down by 5%. Markets in the Nordics are still grappling with low sell-out and customers wanting to keep stock levels to a minimum during these uncertain times. On a more positive note, Doro is still maintaining its leading market share and enjoy 98 percent of the volume and 99 percent of the value of senior phones in Sweden.1

Sales in West and South Europe reached SEK 95.8 million (94.0) a growth of 1.9 percent, mainly thanks to a good rebound in the retail market during the quarter but also due to increasing demand from major operators. Although parts of the increased operator sales were likely made in anticipation of the coming quarter's price increase. Doro is still growing its market share in the region, despite new competitors entering the 4G feature phone game, but is also benefitting from the withdrawal by one of the major competitors from the feature phone market. Doro now accounts for 83 percent of the volume and 90 percent of the value of senior phones in France.1
Sales in Central and Eastern Europe landed at SEK 54.8 million (66.2), a decrease of 17.2 percent compared to last year, as the region once again faced lower demand from distributors. On the upside, retail customers came back quite strong. The region is still the biggest growth opportunity for Doro as the market share is 25 percent of sales volume and 22 percent of the value of senior phones excluding Doro's sub brand.1
Sales in the UK and Ireland at SEK 43.6 million (43.8), basically flat compared to last year (-0.5 percent). The economic situation in the UK is even more strained than in other European countries, with financial markets noticeably anxious following the change of government and the swing in economic policy, resulting in an all-time low level of the UK currency. A boost in the demand for Doro's low-end feature phones still made it possible to reach sales in the UK on par with the previous year's quarter, and Doro's market share is 85 percent of the sales volume and 86 percent of the volumes value of senior phones in Great Britain.1

3 DORO | INTERIM REPORT JAN–SEP 2022
The order book level at the end of the third quarter was the highest of the year, although down by 17.7 percent compared to the same quarter in 2021. The drop was mainly because of the Nordic and UK regions, where Doro as of late has seen a trend in customers deferring their orders due to having implemented more restrictive stock level strategies.
The gross margin in the third quarter increased to 37.7 percent as compared to 35.9 percent last year. The costs of goods sold continued to increase as the US Dollar kept strengthening, but a favourable hedging effect gave a significant margin boost in the quarter. Another positive contribution to the margin this quarter came from royalty costs, where significant work with the many royalty contracts was started months ago and is starting to pay off, thus improving the margin for the quarter.
EBIT amounted to SEK 26.9 million (40.5) during the third quarter, equivalent to an EBIT margin of 11.2% percent (15.0). Profitability in Q3 decreased compared to last year, partly explained by lower sales, but more importantly by the low operating expenses during the comparative period last year.

Currently, the most significant risks are those related to the international economic situation, and maybe primarily to the ever-increasing rate of the USD which is generating uncertainty around the level of margin we can sustain in the future. The increasing food and energy bills are a threat to the sell-out of our products as households downprioritise purchase of non-essential goods. Looking more specifically on Doro phones business, risks are coming from the changes within the market (migration from 2G to 4G for featurephones and focus on 5G for smartphones) and from more complex technical requirements for the devices coming up in connection with an increased sustainability focus.
Other risks are described on pages 32–33 of the Annual Report 2021.
The parent company's net sales during the third quarter totalled SEK 207.9 million (244.1). Profit after tax amounted to SEK 12.0 million (-13.1).
This interim report has been prepared for the group in accordance with IAS 34. "Interim Financial Reporting." and for the parent company in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2. "Accounting for legal entities." Government assistance received is reported as other income.

Doro sales is traditionally seasonally variated. Normally, sales are lowest during the first quarter, then improves during the second and third quarters, and finally peaks during the fourth and final quarter. However, during the last two years, first with the Covid pandemic, and now with the general unfavourable economic situation, the seasonal variations are not completely valid any longer.

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Doro AB (publ) as of 30 September 2022 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
