Message from the CEO

2020 has undoubtedly been a different year, strongly affected by the pandemic. The challenges that exist in social and elderly care has become increasingly clear and our offering in technology enabled care is and will be a part of the solution. Despite all the challenges that COVID-19 has brought us, we have managed to maintain our service delivery and continued to deliver the same quality in both our alarm receiving centres and in our field service throughout the year. This shows the flexibility that exists in the organisation and that, regardless of circumstances, we continue to deliver what we do best - safety and independence for seniors.

During the fourth quarter we were hit by the second wave of COVID-19 and some of our main markets were once again completely or partially in lockdown. The consequence of this was that the recovery that was noted during the third quarter slowed down. Sales during the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 489.6 million (615.8), a decrease of 20.5 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. With good cost control and support from our saving initiatives that were implemented during the year, we successfully managed to fend off the sales drop and deliver an improved adjusted EBIT-margin of 9.6 percent (6.7) in the quarter.

The markets within business area Doro Care remained quiet during the fourth quarter. Municipalities and social care commissioners had their focus on handling the effects of the pandemic and therefore important procurements have been postponed. Although sales development is slow due to delayed procurements, we increased our sales during the fourth quarter compared to the third quarter and had organic growth, adjusted for currency effects, compared to the same quarter last year. With a strengthened team and more experience, we hope to continue the trend and create organic growth.

Earlier in the year, we took several steps forward in our growth strategy, which we also continued to do during the fourth quarter. In October we completed our third acquisition of the year and acquired the assets of the Careline services from Connexus Housing Group and further expanded our presence in the UK market. With several strategically important events behind us and a strengthened team, we are ready to enter 2021 with focus on expanding and strengthening our offer, continuing to drive an organic growth, and increasing the efficiency of our service delivery.

Business area Doro Phones had a tough quarter in terms of sales with a decrease of 28.9 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. Sales were negatively affected by closed markets due to the second wave of the pandemic, but also by the decision to phase out less profitable markets, such as North America. Despite lower sales, business area Doro Phones managed to deliver a high operating profit with a very strong EBIT-margin of 11.7 percent in the quarter. The strengthened EBIT-margin is an effect of the cost savings that were implemented during the year combined with an improved gross margin. The work to reduce operating expenses continues to progress and focus for the coming year will be to maintain a good cost control whilst we actively try to find new solutions for the seniors of today and tomorrow.

To create the best conditions for each business area to develop more favorably on their own and reach its full potential, preparation will be initiated to separately list business area Doro Care. I believe that Doro Care independently can create the best conditions for utilizing interesting opportunities and prospects we see in technology enabled care. I also believe that a refinement creates better opportunities for Doro Phones to further strengthen its market position. Preparation for a separate listing of business area Doro Care will be initiated with the aim to complete a stock exchange listing during the year. We will continue to create safety for seniors, capturing the growth opportunities that lie ahead of us and prioritise the health and safety of our employees, while we continue our journey forward.

HIGHLIGHTS BY BUSINESS AREA

DORO CARE

Fourth quarter

Net sales in business area Doro Care for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 144.7 million (130.4), an increase of 10.8 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. Sales of services increased by 2.9 percent to SEK 109.7 million (SEK 106.6 million) and product sales increased by 45.8 percent to SEK 35.0 million (24.0). The increase in product sales is mainly related to other regions.

The gross margin for the fourth quarter was 39.5 percent (42.8). The lower margin is partly explained by non-recurring costs of approximately SEK 5 million and partly by higher costs incurred to maintain our service delivery during COVID-19. Non-recurring costs mainly consists of stock write-down and bad debt.

EBIT amounted to SEK 6.9 million (10.2) during the fourth quarter, which is equivalent to an EBIT margin of 4.8 percent (7.8). The lower EBIT is mainly explained by the lower gross margin.

The number of subscriptions at the end of the period was 372,000 (312,000).

Sales in the Nordics decreased by 3.3 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in sales is partly due to lost contracts in Norway and less product sales. Planned projects and launches have been postponed as a result of COVID-19 and the sales increase that was expected to come with these. During the end of the quarter, we saw an increased tendering activity in Sweden, that is expected to increase during the first half of 2021, as a result of SKL Kommentus' temporary framework agreement*.

Sales in the UK and Ireland increased by 10.2 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. This increase in sales is partly a result of the acquisition of Eldercare, which was incorporated in the group in August 2020 and partly a result of the acquisition of Connexus Careline which was incorporated in the group in October 2020.

Sales for Other regions during the fourth quarter totalled SEK 16.1 million (5.4), the increase is mainly due to increased product sale.

*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

Fourth quarter

Net sales in business area Doro Phones for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 344.9 million (485.2), a decrease of 28.9 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. The recovery that was noted during previous quarters slowed down during the fourth quarter, when sales once again were negatively affected by COVID-19. With a second wave of COVID-19, some of the main markets were in lockdown during the quarter. Sales were also negatively affected by the decision to phase out less profitable markets.

The order book decreased by 28.0 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease is mainly explained by the phase out of less profitable markets like North America, and the lower sales due to COVID-19.

The gross margin for the fourth quarter was 32.0 percent (25.9). EBIT amounted to SEK 40.4 million (33.6) during the fourth quarter, which is equivalent to an EBIT margin of 11.7 percent (6.9). The improved profitability is explained by the saving initiatives initiated earlier this year, the fact that less profitable markets have been phased out, and by a strong gross margin. Overall, business area Doro Phones managed to effectively offset the decrease in sales during the fourth quarter.

Sales in the Nordics decreased by 28.2 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2019 and sales in Central and Eastern Europe decreased by 38.8 percent. The decline is a result of lower activity due to COVID-19. Sales in Western and Southern Europe and Africa decreased by 11.7 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in sales is mainly a consequence of lockdowns in the markets during November, that usually is one of the bestselling months of the year. Sales of smartphones increased during the quarter and is mainly due to the Doro 8050 that was launched during the first quarter.

Sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland decreased by 9.5 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2019. The decrease in sales is a direct consequence of the lockdown during the fourth quarter, due to the second wave of COVID-19. The loss of sales was partly mitigated by the preparations for Brexit as many customers secured their inventory. As previously communicated, less profitable markets are being phased out as part of the restructuring of business area Doro Phones. North America, which is one of these markets, decreased by 71.9 percent during the quarter compared to the fourth quarter of 2019.

Adjustments for Other regions during the fourth quarter totalled SEK 5.1 million.

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Cash flow, investments, and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities during the fourth quarter was SEK 42.9 million (99.8). The decrease is mainly due to a negative change in working capital compared with the fourth quarter of 2019, mainly as a result of a planned inventory build-up after low inventory levels in the third quarter of 2020. Free cash flow, after investments but before acquisitions, amounted to SEK 27.9 million (58.7). Investments during the period amounted to SEK 15.0 million (41.1).

Cash and cash equivalents totalled SEK 170.6 million (198.5) at the end of the fourth quarter. At the same time, the equity ratio was 50.9 percent (46.6).

Net cash amounted to SEK 12.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter, compared with a net cash of SEK 6.2 million at the end of the previous quarter and a net debt of SEK 84.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2019.

FREE CASH FLOW

Significant events during the period

  • COVID-19 affected sales negatively in the quarter. A small part of Doro's employees were on short term leave during the quarter.
  • In October Doro acquired Connexus Careline. To further expand its presence and strengthen its position in the UK market, Doro acquired the assets of the Careline services from Connexus Housing Group.

Significant events after the period

  • In January Doro acquired the assets of FirstCall 24/7 from Trent and Dove Housing.
  • In February 2021, it was announced that Doro intends to separately list business area Doro Care.

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.

Other risks are described on pages 28–29 of the Annual Report 2019.
