Message from the CEO

During the quarter we have seen a positive development and increased activity in some of our main markets, although the situation is still uncertain. For business area Doro Phones, France delivered a strong quarter and for business area Doro Care we see an increased tender activity in the Swedish market.

Sales during the first quarter amounted to SEK 336.7 million (424.2), a decrease of 20.6 percent compared to the first quarter of 2020. During the quarter we have experienced increased problems in the supply chain with constraints in components, increased lead times and continued high freight costs. So far, we have succeeded in meeting the demand from our customers, but with increased problems, there is a risk that this will have a negative effect in the coming quarters. Despite all challenges, we have delivered an improved gross margin of 37.7 percent (33.7) and a strong operating profit of SEK 17.4 million (15.2). The positive development is proof that we effectively managed to adapt the business to the current situation, while at the same time focusing on the future.

We have during the first quarter seen a positive development within business area Doro Care, despite the continued impact of the pandemic, mainly on the Swedish market where procurements once again gained momentum. The increased tender activity is mainly an effect of Addas (former SKL Kommentus) temporary framework agreement. We are experiencing an increased confidence in us as a supplier as we won several new agreements in Sweden and the UK during the quarter. We expect to see a positive impact on sales from the new contracts in the coming quarters. Gross margin amounted 41.5 percent (40.8), an improvement compared to the first quarter of 2020. During the quarter we carried out a number of activities, mainly in the UK, where we reduced the number of platforms in our alarm receiving centres in order to streamline our service delivery. To achieve the margins we aim for, we need to continue the efficiency work in the future as well.

During the quarter, as part of our growth strategy, we carried out one acquisition and a product launch within business area Doro Care. At the beginning of February, we acquired FirstCall 24/7, which together with our other operations in the UK creates a strong position in the market. At the end of the quarter, we launched the Doro 450, our new mobile social alarm, which increases safety in the home and on the go. The launch is a step forward in our ambition to create a safer and more independent life for the senior.

Business area Doro Phones has continued to suffer from lockdowns, restrictions and decrease in sales as a result of the pandemic. Although the business area as a whole has been negatively affected by the pandemic, France has shown a positive development and delivered a strong quarter. On the other hand, we see a continued negative trend in Germany where we performed below our target. As a result of this and as a final part of the restructuring program, we have initiated a restructuring of the region. With continued strong cost control, we have been able to balance the effects of weaker sales, delivering an improved gross margin of 35.1 percent (30.6) and a strong operating profit.

At the beginning of the quarter, we communicated that the board intends to separately list business area Doro Care and the preparations are in full swing. The purpose of the separate listing is to create the best conditions for both businesses to develop more favorably. We are convinced that a separation creates better opportunities for the business areas to fulfill their strategies. The work of separating the business areas is proceeding according to plan with the aim of listing Doro Care on the stock exchange during the fourth quarter of 2021. We have an incredibly exciting and intense journey ahead of us and I look forward to working with the organisation to create a better foundation for the business areas to reach their full potential.

Carl-Johan Zetterberg Boudrie, President and CEO

"Despite the challenges we faced, we delivered an improved gross margin and a strong operating profit during the quarter"

"We are convinced that a separate listing improves the conditions for both business areas to reach their full potential"

OPERATING PROFIT

Highlights during the first quarter

The gross margin increased compared with the first quarter of 2020 and amounted to 37.7. percent (33.7).

EBITDA for the first quarter increased by 9.6 percent to SEK 47.9 million (43.7), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 14.2 percent (10.3).

EBITA for the first quarter increased to SEK 19.9 million (18.3). Planned depreciation of intangible assets from company acquisitions was SEK -2.5 million (-3.1) during the quarter, resulting in an EBIT of SEK 18.4 million excluding project costs for the separation and listing of business area Doro Care of SEK 1.0 million and an EBIT margin of 5.5 percent. Including project costs EBIT amounted SEK 17.4 million (15.2) with an EBIT margin of 5.2 percent (3.6). The improved operating margin is mainly explained by the earlier implemented saving initiatives and the improved gross margin.

Net financial items for the first quarter totalled SEK 8.3 million (4.7) including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currency. The increase is mainly due to the weakening of SEK against the EUR, GBP and USD currencies. Group tax for the quarter was SEK -6.9 million (-5.4). Profit after tax for the period was SEK 18.8 million (14.5).

HIGHLIGHTS BY BUSINESS AREA

DORO CARE

First quarter

Net sales in business area Doro Care for the first quarter amounted to SEK 138.0 million (130.3), an increase of 5.9 percent compared with the first quarter of 2020. Sales of services increased by 7.6 percent to SEK 111.5 million (SEK 103.6 million) and product sales decreased by 0.4 percent to SEK 26.5 million (26.6).

The gross margin for the first quarter was 41.5 percent (40.8). The improved margin is partly a result of the efficiency measures that were implemented in the UK during the quarter. We have, among other things, reduced the number of platforms for our alarm receiving centres, which contributes to a more efficient service delivery.

EBIT amounted to SEK 7.7 million (7.2) during the first quarter, which is equivalent to an EBIT margin of 5.6 percent (5.5). The improved operating profit is mainly explained by the improved gross margin. The number of subscriptions at the end of the period was 371,000 (316,000).

Sales in the Nordics decreased by 3.7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2020. The decrease in sales is mainly due to lost contracts in both Norway and Sweden during last year. During the quarter tender activity continued to increase and we won a number of new contracts in Sweden. The increased activity is mainly a consequence of Addas (former SKL Kommentus) temporary framework agreement* and we expect to see a positive effect on sales in coming quarters.

Sales in the UK and Ireland increased by 14.7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2020. This increase in sales is partly a result of the acquisition of Eldercare, which was incorporated in the group in August 2020, partly a result of the acquisition of Connexus Careline which was incorporated in the group in October 2020 and partly a result of the acquisition of FirstCall 24/7 which was incorporated in the group in February 2021. In the quarter we won a few new contracts which will affect sales positively in the coming quarters.

Sales for Other regions during the first quarter totalled SEK 9.2 million (6.8), the increase is mainly due to increased product sales.

*The temporary framework agreement includes social alarms. Furthermore, alarm reception, the communication between the social alarm and the alarm reception as well as associated services and products such as alarms, installation, training, service, and support is included in the procurement.

DORO PHONES

First quarter

Net sales in business area Doro Phones for the first quarter amounted to SEK 198.7 million (293.9), a decrease of 32.4 percent compared with the first quarter of 2020. COVID-19 continues to have a negative effect on the business area with closed markets and restrictions. In addition to a strong impact by the pandemic, sales are negatively affected by the phase out of less profitable markets such as North America.

The order book decreased by 23.6 percent compared to the first quarter of 2020 but increased with 25.0 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The decrease is mainly explained by the phase out of North America, and the lower sales due to COVID-19.

The gross margin for the first quarter was 35.1 percent (30.6). The improved gross margin is partly explained by a more profitable product and customer mix and partly due to more favourable exchange rates. EBIT amounted to SEK 12.7 million (9.9) during the first quarter, which is equivalent to an EBIT margin of 6.4 percent (3.4). The improved profitability is explained by the earlier initiated cost savings and the fact that less profitable markets have been phased out, and by a strong gross margin.

Sales in the Nordics decreased by 9.3 percent compared with the first quarter of 2020 and sales in Western and Southern Europe and Africa decreased by 6.4 percent. Despite stricter restrictions and the impact of the pandemic the markets have managed to deliver a good quarter. Sales were positively affected by increased demand in smartphones and a positive development in online sales.

Sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland decreased by 48.2 percent compared with the first quarter of 2020 and sales in Central and Eastern Europe decreased by 36.2 percent. The decrease in sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland is mainly a result of COVID-19 with lockdowns and stricter restrictions. Sales were also negatively affected by Brexit as many customers secured their inventory already in the fourth quarter of 2020. We also see a continued negative trend in Germany, where sales have been below our target, which is why we have initiated a restructuring of the region as a last part of the restructuring program.

As previously communicated, less profitable markets have been phased out as part of the restructuring of business area Doro Phones. North America, which is one of these markets, decreased by 96.9 percent during the quarter compared to the first quarter of 2020.

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Cash flow, investments, and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter was SEK -36.4 million (-2.5). The decrease is mainly due to a negative change in working capital compared with the first quarter of 2020. The low cash flow is mainly explained by the fact that we have returned to normal payment terms with our suppliers. Free cash flow, after investments but before acquisitions, amounted to SEK -47.6 million (-22.0). Investments during the period amounted to SEK 11.2 million (19.5).

Cash and cash equivalents totalled SEK 123.8 million (172.4) at the end of the first quarter. At the same time, the equity ratio was 56.4 percent (50.2).

Net debt amounted to SEK 32.3 million at the end of the first quarter, compared with a net cash of SEK 12.1 million at the end of the previous quarter and a net debt of SEK 129.6 million at the end of the first quarter of 2020.

Risks

In the present situation. the most significant risks are those relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stores remaining closed and a general downturn in the economy would have a major impact on sales of telephones. Within Doro Care, the pandemic may result in problems meeting demand for services if a large number of our alarm centre staff are absent from work while at the same time there is an increase in the number of alarms being generated Risks relating to information security are slightly increased (personal data) due to a large number of staff working from home, including alarm receiving centre staff. Procurements and product launches are in danger of being postponed as a result of the pandemic.

As a consequence of the pandemic and the situation in the world, with higher shipping costs and an increased shortage of components, there is a risk of increased costs and challenges in the supply chain.

Other risks are described on pages 40–42 of the Annual Report 2020.
