Net sales
Good sales and profit which exceeds previous year
Stable growth in the Services category
Focus our expansion and growth within our Care offering
The fourth quarter continued in a positive fashion in many areas, just as in previous quarters. We have experienced good sales growth, during both the quarter and the year as a whole, and we have achieved a profit which exceeds that of the previous year, adjusted for non-recurring items.
There was stable growth in the Services category, mainly as a result of the acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect. Centra has a slightly lower level of profitability, which had a negative impact on the gross margin in the Service business. We are working to develop a more efficient organisation in the long term to strengthen the gross margin. We are already seeing some improvement compared with the third quarter and I can generally report a good quarter for Services.
Products developed well, both during the quarter and over the year as a whole, with growth on most markets, despite competition remaining tough. As a result, we have increased our market share and consolidated our position as market leader in mobile phones for seniors. I believe we have a strong offering and a great understanding of the needs of our customers and consumers.
The gross margin decreased during the quarter primarily as a result of currency effects and increased logistics costs. To meet customer demand for our products, we have had to use a higher proportion of air freight than anticipated, which has driven costs.
Our own experience and research both show that technology enabled care helps to strengthen the independence of those receiving care, while at the same time improving the work environment and resource-efficiency of service providers. Technology enabled care meets the need to provide a safe, active and meaningful everyday life for more seniors, while also overcoming the challenges facing society in terms of increased costs and a shortage of healthcare professionals. The national guidelines for Sweden's municipalities, where personal night-time monitoring has been replaced with digital services such as Doro Visit, are a good example.
This development provides the focus for our expansion and growth within our Care offering, with the aim of becoming Europe's leading provider of technology enabled care. Together with the municipalities and regions, we will drive forward digitalisation and development.
Focusing more strongly on developing products and services for the public sector means writing off parts of the Smartcare project linked to a specific consumer offering.
To help us build an even stronger Doro, we will utilise the strength of the entire group in order to maintain a good level of income, make maximum use of our innovative strength, keep a continued focus on efficiency and, not least, ensure that we exercise leadership at all times that enables a high rate of change. 2020 will be an exciting year, as we continue to strengthen in technology enabled care to take Doro to the next level.
Net sales increased by 11.1%
Strong increase in sales on most markets
Operating profit was SEK 415 million, excl. restructuring costs and writedowns of SEK 10.6 million
Doro's net sales for the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 615.8 million (554.1), an increase of 11.1 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 7.4 percent.
New orders during the fourth quarter decreased by 5.0 per cent to SEK 513.3 million (540.2). The value of the order book was SEK 415.1 million (396.1) at the end of the quarter.
Sales in the Products category increased by 8.8 percent and sales in the Services category increased by 23.9 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Organic sales growth in Services was 3.9 percent.
Sales increased in the Nordics by 17.0 percent and in the Western and Southern Europe and Africa region by 6.7 percent. Sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland increased by 39.6 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018, partly as a result of the acquisition of Centra Pulse & Connect. Sales in North America increased by 31.0 percent. In the Central and Eastern Europe region, sales decreased by 9.6 percent.
The gross margin decreased compared with the fourth quarter of 2018 and totalled 29.5 percent (32.6).
EBITDA for the fourth quarter increased by 6.4 percent to SEK 61.1 million (57.4), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 9.9 percent (10.4). The increase in EBITDA is explained by the new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leasing being applied from 1 January 2019, which increased EBITDA in the quarter by SEK 5.3 million.
EBITA decreased to SEK 33.3 million (40.0). Planned depreciation of intangible assets from company acquisitions was SEK -2.4 million (-2.0) during the quarter, resulting in an operating profit (EBIT) of SEK 30.9 million (38.0) and an EBIT margin of 5.0 percent (6.9). Operating profit excluding restructuring costs and write-downs totalled SEK 41.5 million.
Profit is reduced by write-downs of SEK 8.2 million, the majority of which are linked to development costs for the consumer element of Smartcare which is not relevant for Doro's offering within Care.
Net financial items for the fourth quarter totalled SEK -0.5 million (-2.8) including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currency.
Group tax for the quarter was SEK -9.6 million (-9.6).
Profit after tax for the period was SEK 20.8 million (25.6).

2018 2019
Cash flow from operating activities during the fourth quarter was SEK 99.8 million (62.9). The increase was mainly due to a positive change in working capital compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Free cash flow, after investments but before operating acquisitions, amounted to SEK 58.7 million (36.1). Investments during the period amounted to SEK 43.2 million (26.8).
Cash and cash equivalents totalled SEK 198.5 million (134.2) at the end of the fourth quarter. At the same time, the equity ratio was 46.6 percent (46.7).
Net debt amounted to SEK 84.1 million at the end of the fourth quarter, compared with SEK 142.4 million at the end of the previous quarter and SEK 105.8 million at the end of the fourth quarter of 2018. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2018, net debt is affected by Doro applying IFRS 16 Leasing with effect from 1 January 2019. This means that an additional financial leasing liability of SEK 62.6 million was reported compared with the previous year.
No significant events have occurred during the quarter.
New CFO
Linda Nilsson was appointed CFO and member of the group management team at the beginning of January. She will take up her position on 23 March.

Sales in the Nordics increased by 17.0 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in sales comes mainly from the sale of our updated mobile phone offering to retailers and operators. Despite extremely difficult conditions on the Nordic mobile phone market, Doro is increasing its market share. More subscriptions and new contracts in Sweden and Norway also contributed to increased sales during the quarter. At the same time, we are seeing increased price competition, particularly on the Norwegian market.
Sales increased by 6.7 percent in the Western and Southern Europe and Africa region. The mobile phone market in the region is subject to fierce competition, with traditional mobile phone operators also now entering the senior segment. Despite the current market situation, Doro has grown its sales very well, gaining market share in France, which is our largest market in the region.
Sales during the fourth quarter decreased by 9.6 per cent. Sales have increased in Eastern Europe, while retail sales have decreased in Germany in particular, due to a weak electronics market within several product segment. A new organisation has been established in Eastern Europe during the year, which has contributed to the positive sales growth.
Sales recovered strongly in the fourth quarter following a very weak third quarter and increased by 39.6 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Earlier certificate problems have now been resolved and the company's new phones have been well received by operators and retailers. Sales also increased in Services, partly due to the acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect, which was consolidated in September, but also through organic growth.
The strong growth in North America continued, with sales increasing by 31.0 percent during the quarter. Sales are being driven by demand for the Doro 7050, a smart 4G feature phone.
Net sales in the rest of the world were SEK 0.0 million (2.0).
During the fourth quarter, income and income adjustments that were not connected to any specific region totalled SEK 1.0 million (4.5).

Sales of products increased by 8.8 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. Sales were driven primarily by high levels of sales to operators, retailers and distributors of the new mobile phones that were launched during the third quarter. Within the senior telephone segment, Doro grew faster than the market and gained market share on most markets, despite competition remaining tough. Gross margin weakened to 26.3 percent (29.4). Logistics costs have remained high, primarily as a result of demand being greater than expected, which has driven a higher proportion of air freight than anticipated. There is a risk that the high cost pressure within logistics will continue into future quarters, although the main focus is on reaching a point in the long term where the cost curve for logistics is declining. Gross margin has also been negatively impacted by currency effects as a result of USD strengthening against EUR and GBP.
Sales of services increased by 23.9 percent compared with the fourth quarter of 2018. This increase is mainly related to the acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect, which was completed in the third quarter. Organic growth during the quarter totalled 3.9 percent. This upturn is the result of a number of new public contracts for security alarm services in Norway and Sweden in particular. The number of subscriptions was 312,000 (200,000) at the end of the quarter. Gross margin decreased to 44.8 percent (49.8), primarily because of lower profitability at Centra Pulse and Connect than in Doro's other operations. In order to strengthen margins and also exploit synergies from the acquisitions completed, work is under way to review working methods at the emergency call centres and to make the organisation more efficient in the long term. We saw an improved gross margin during the fourth quarter compared to third quarter 2019.
Doro's share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap, in the segment Telecom/IT. On 31 December 2019, the number of issued shares was 24,204,568, of which Doro AB holds 439,030 Doro shares. Total equity amounted to SEK 781.8 million (683.7).

Risks and uncertainties are primarily related to the ability to continuous develop competitive products, disruptions to deliveries, customer relations, exchange rate fluctuations, loan financing and the public procurement process.

Doro's sales in the Products category are affected by seasonal variations. Normally, sales are lowest during the first quarter. Sales during the second and third quarters are usually higher than in the first quarter. Sales are generally strongest during the fourth quarter.

The group leases office premises. vehicles. furniture and office equipment. Leasing contracts are normally written for fixed periods. but there may be opportunities for extension. The terms are negotiated separately for each agreement and contain a large number of contractual conditions. The leasing agreements are reported as rights of use and an equivalent liability on the date on which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each leasing payment is divided between amortisation of the liability and the financial cost. The financial cost shall be distributed over the term of the lease so that each accounting period is charged with an amount corresponding to a fixed interest rate for the liability recognised in each period. The right of use is depreciated on a straight line basis over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the duration of the leasing contract. Assets and liabilities arising from leasing contracts are initially reported at present value. Leasing payments are discounted by the implied interest rate of the lease if this interest rate can be easily determined. otherwise the company's marginal borrowing rate is used. Payments for short-term contracts and leasing contracts of lesser
value are expensed on a straight line basis in the income statement. Short-term contracts are contracts with a leasing period of 12 months or less.
