Message from the CEO

Despite declining sales in most of the consumer electronics categories, Doro increased its sales in the first quarter by 3%.

The first quarter of 2022 has been challenging for the consumer business as a whole, with a general slow-down hitting home electronics and much lower activities in stores. At the same time as we were expecting post pandemic life to return to more normal conditions, the overall economic situation took a difficult turn with the Russian war against Ukraine, and with high inflation, increasing costs of living, and an overall feeling of increased insecurity.

Increased costs of living, especially for basic products such as food, fuel, and energy, together with the insecurity arising from the Ukraine war, has resulted in lower discretionary spending.

The war in Ukraine has not only impacted consumer behaviour but has also had a significant impact on components, supply chains, and transportation. With the current geopolitical situation and a new development of the Covid pandemic in China, production and freight have become even more challenging and costly during the quarter. Some of our products now have exceptionally long lead times which puts a further strain on our logistics, and alas, forces us to use more air transportation than planned, with increased freight costs as a consequence.

At Doro we do not have any business relations with Russia or Ukraine, and although we naturally see the impact both in logistics and supply and experience the negative effect on the consumer electronics business, in this situation our thoughts still first and foremost go out to the Ukrainian people.

Doro and all of its staff have during the quarter tried to help the millions of people who are forced to experience the horrors of war. We began by donated 1 000 000 SEK to the National Bank of Ukraine's Humanitarian Fund, in addition to donating easy to use mobile phones to Ukrainian refugees. Moreover, Doro has provided our warehouse facilities in Amberg (Germany) to assist and help the local Ukrainian Relief Organisations with storing, shipping and distribution efforts to Ukraine. There has also been several local help initiatives at our various offices across Europe where our staff are donating money and basic necessities.

Despite all the horrors of the war, the macro-economic and supply chain challenges, Doro managed to increase its sales by 2.9 percent compared to the same quarter last year. At the same time, our COGS and OPEX increased due to the aforementioned component and logistics challenges as well as higher marketing and sales spending in anticipation of the markets opening. Consequently, our gross margin and operating profit decreased compared to the previous year and reached an EBITDA of SEK 14.8 million in the quarter, with EBIT at SEK 3.0 million and a profit after tax of SEK 3.5 million.

Sell-through in the stores was, as mentioned, not at the level expected. Sales for Frabel and Nordic, two regions where our customers had high stock levels at the start of the new year, were lower than the same quarter during the previous year. In the Nordic region however, we are pleased with the good level of 2G feature phone sales to Finland and the Baltics. Likewise, our UK region took a step forward and performed better than last year, especially towards the end of the quarter, with a boost from our strongest retail customer in England. In addition, our DACH region improved compared to last year, with good tractions in both distribution and retail channels.

Despite the supply and logistics challenges, our Operations Team has continued to successfully manage our inventory efficiently. As a result, we have been able to maintain a good level of delivery to our customers. The continuous strong efforts of our logistics team have really paid off and we have during the quarter received very positive feedback from several of our important customers with regards to our delivery capacity and quality.

On the portfolio side, we are now launching our new smartphone and feature phone ranges across all regions. The quality and cost-controlled production of the new products will help us regain better margins, which were negatively affected during the quarter by the price increase of components and higher transport costs. In parallel, our product management team is working hard on the new innovative products, which will further broaden our offering and help us fulfil our mission of making technology available to all seniors.

Jörgen Nilsson, President and CEO

HIGHLIGHTS FIRST QUARTER

Doro's net sales for the first quarter amounted to SEK 204.6 million (198.7), an increase of 2.9 percent compared with the first quarter of 2021. The quarter was characterised by low activities in stores and a slow-down of the business in general. Increased costs of living, most of all for basic products such as food and energy, together with the insecurity arising from the war in Ukraine, has resulted in consumers turning away from small electronics for the time being.

Net Sales in Nordic amounted to SEK 47.3 million (49.0), a decrease of 3.4 percent. Traffic in shops in the Nordic countries was very low and most of our customers had good level of stock going into the new year. We can however see a very good trend in higher sales to Baltic countries through our 2G featurephones.

Net sales in Western and Southern Europe amounted to SEK 66.9 million (83.4), a decrease of 19.8 percent. This quarter was quite challenging for the region, partly a consequence of a strong Q4 2021. With high inflation, recent events in Ukraine and the presidential elections, the focus of the consumers has been elsewhere than in electronics.

Net sales in UK amounted to SEK 36.3 million (21,9), an increase of 65.9 percent. This strong increase must be seen in the light of a rather poor quarter one last year, as it was a quarter of lock-down and restrictions. This quarter has also seen some large intake ahead of on UK's largest retailer's promotion, which will secure that the Doro senior products are visible in all their stores througout UK.

Net sales in DACH amounted to SEK 54.0 million (45.8), an increase of 17.9 percent. The region benefitted from strong export business and both retail group and distribution channels showed positive trends this quarter.

North America was phased out in 2020 and the last sales were recorded during the first quarter in 2021.

The order book decreased by 1.8 percent compared to the first quarter of 2021 but increased with 16.7 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2021. We expect the market for consumer electronics to remain rather slow at least in the beginning of the second quarter.

The gross margin for the first quarter was 32.0 percent (35.1). The lower gross margin is partly explained by less profitable margin of products as a consequence of the increased component prices. The logistic situation, with long lead time and difficult transport conditions also contributed to the deterioration of our margin. Mitigating measures such as a price increase starting in Q2 have been taken and we expect to see the results in the next months, even though logistics conditions will remain difficult for many months ahead.

EBIT amounted to SEK 3.0 million (12.2) during the first quarter which is equivalent to an EBIT margin of 1.5 percent (6.1). The lower profitability is explained by the decrease in margin and higher operating costs this quarter as we need to invest in new product categories as well as develop our organisation to conduct our strategy post Careium-separation.

Risks

In the present situation, the most significant risks are those relating to components and the freight situation following a renewal of the Covid19 pandemic in China and the general insecurity after the invasion of Ukraine. The economic situation with severe increase of prices, particularly energy and food. and loss of purchasing power as a consequence, represents another major risk as it causes a hopefully temporary change of priority in consuming pattern. Risks relating to information security are also very actual with an increase of fraud attempts, mainly mail based.

Other risks are described on pages 32-33 of the Annual Report 2021.
