Net sales

Strengthening of service business and geographical presence with the acquisition of Welbeing

Stronger offering with the launch of a smart 4G feature phone

Increasing percentage of sales from Services and currency effects contributed to stronger profits and margins

Message from the CEO

During the second quarter, Doro continued to work towards its objective of being the leading technology enabled care solutions company in Europe. Step by step, we are transforming the business to offer the market complete, service-related solutions.

During the quarter, we acquired the British telecare company Welbeing. The United Kingdom is the largest telecare market in Europe with about 1.7 million safety alarms connected. With Welbeing's attractive market position, we now have a platform for expanding Doro's service offering in the British market. In the first stage, we are helping to drive the transformation from analogue to digital alarms and in the second stage we now have the prerequisites to capitalise on our mobile business with sales of services.

Doro's sales for the period decreased by 4.9 percent compared with the same period last year. Organically, sales decreased by 6.6 percent. Obviously we are not happy with this and we see it as evidence of the great need to further accelerate our transformation. The loss of sales can mainly be attributed to the greater competition we are facing in markets outside the senior segment in Central and Eastern Europe and the Nordic Region. Sales for our Product category decreased by 10.1 percent for the same reason. At the same time, we can see a more stable senior market where we are maintaining our market share. Services increased its sales by 41.5 percent. Sales for Services include the acquisition of Welbeing, which has been included in our books since 1 June 2018. Organically, Services grew by 25.5 percent during the quarter.

Although we are making significant strides in the services segment, the greater part of our sales is still in the Products category. We have therefore now launched new feature phones with smart functions that are adapted for 4G. The first launch was Doro 7070 in the Nordic region at the end of the period. Further models will be rolled out in the rest of Europe and in the USA during the third and fourth quarters respectively.

We are continuing to develop our services offering and the first stage of this, Response by Doro, will be launched in October this year. Response and SmartCare by Doro are examples of integrated, smart solutions that make it possible for relatives and connected alarm centres to receive alarms that are activated automatically or manually by the user. With this concept, we bring our service and telephone offerings together to create an effective ecosystem that we can build on.

Doro's move towards selling technology enabled care solutions involves a change in competences, which means that the business will be reinforced with new competences in selected areas. In order to ensure this transformation, we are now launching a transformation program that also aims to reduce costs by an estimated SEK 30 million on a yearly basis.

Robert Puskaric, President and CEO

Net sales decreased 4.9%

Positive sales development in Services

Weak sales in Central and Eastern Europe

Favourable currency effects in Products

Gross margin increased to 36.5% and operating margin to 6.2%

Financial summary group, second quarter 2018

Sales

Doro's net sales for the first quarter were SEK 424.2 million (446.0), a decrease of 4.9 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017. Excluding the acquisition of Welbeing the decrease was 6.6 percent. Adjusted for currency effects, the decrease was 9.0 percent, including the acquisition of Welbeing.

New orders during the second quarter increased by 5.0 percent to SEK 464.1 million (442.2). At the end of the quarter, the value of the order book was SEK 342.3 million (278.7).

Sales in the Products category decreased by 10.1 percent, while sales in the Services category increased by 41.5 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017.

Sales of smartphones were weak and a disappointment during the quarter, accounting for around 17 percent of our total sales of mobile phones. Delays to acceptance tests of our new Doro 8035 smartphone among some operators had a negative effect on sales during the quarter.

Sales in the Nordic region decreased by 0.9 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017. In the West and South Europe and Africa region, sales decreased by 2.8 percent. In Central and Eastern Europe, sales decreased by 16.0 percent. Sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland increased by 7.0 percent, while sales in North America increased by 23.9 percent.

Earnings

The gross margin increased compared with the second quarter of 2017 and amounted to 36.5 percent (31.1). The stronger gross margin is mainly the result of an increasing percentage of sales coming from Services, as well as positive currency effects from USD weakening against EUR and GBP.

EBITDA for the second quarter increased by 30.5 percent to SEK 44.1 million (33.8), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 10.4 percent (7.6). The increase in EBITDA was mainly due to the improved gross margin.

EBITA improved to SEK 27.7 million (20.4). Planned depreciation of intangible assets from company acquisition was SEK -1.6 million (-1.3) during the quarter, which resulted in an operating profit (EBIT) of SEK 26.1 million (19.1) and an EBIT margin of 6.2 percent (4.3).

Net financial items for the second quarter amounted to SEK 3.4 million (0.2) including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currency.

Group tax for the quarter was SEK -8.7 million (-4.0).

Profit after tax for the period was SEK 20.8 million (15.3).

Operating profit and operating margin per quarter, SEK million and %

Cash flow from operating activities, SEK million

Cash flow, investments and financial position

Cash flow from current activities during the second quarter was SEK 47.3 million (14.0). The increase was mainly due to a higher operating profit and a decrease in capital tied up in stock in the quarter compared with the previous year. Free cash flow, after investments but before operating acquisitions, amounted to SEK 22.8 million (-1.4). During the quarter, the cash portion of the acquisition price of the British telecare company Welbeing was paid. The effect of the acquisition on group cash flow amounted to SEK -110.7 million.

Cash and cash equivalents amounted to SEK 90.7 million at the end of the second quarter (57.8). At the same time, the equity ratio was 46.9 percent (44.6).

Net debt amounted to SEK 174.6 million at the end of the second quarter, compared with SEK 81.1 million at the end of the previous quarter and SEK 127.2 million at the end of the second quarter of 2017. During the quarter, the company entered into an agreement with SEB on a new financing structure. The new bank facility amounts to SEK 450 million. At the end of the second quarter, the company had utilised SEK 265 million of this bank facility, partly to close existing financing agreements and partly to adjust the purchase price for the acquisition of Welbeing.

Significant events during the period

On 16 February 2018, Doro initiated a programme for buying back own shares. The programme was concluded during the quarter and in all shares were repurchased to a value of SEK 18.9 million. The company now owns 439,030 shares.

Doro has entered into a new financing structure with SEB. The new bank facility of SEK 450 million will be used to close existing financing agreements, to drive the geographical expansion of telecare and to create a strong basis for the rollout of new services, such as Response and SmartCare by Doro.

Welbeing, headquartered in Eastbourne, UK was acquired on 31 May. This is part of the strategy of extending and expanding telecare business, strengthening our offerings and increasing service income. The UK is the largest telecare market in Europe with an estimated 1.7 million connected safety alarms, and Welbeing is one of the leading suppliers. The company has approximately 75,000 connections, 21,000 of which are private. Sales in the financial year 2016/2017, ended September 2017, amounted to GBP 7.6 million (about SEK 90 million), most of which was service related. Welbeing became part of Doro with effect from 1 June 2018. The acquisition is expected to have a limited effect on profit per share, including transaction costs, in 2018. See note 4 for more information.

* ) Note 1

Nordics

Sales in the Nordics decreased by 0.9 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017. As in the previous quarter, the mobile telephone market has been challenging. Sales of services continue to show good growth, which compensates for sales decrease of products.

West and South Europe and Africa

In the West and South Europe and Africa region, sales decreased by 2.8 percent. France and Benelux have sales figures on a par with the same period the previous year, while South Europe shows growth. The situation in Algeria continues to be a challenge because of import restrictions and Doro has now decided not to prioritise this market in future.

Central and Eastern Europe

This has been a difficult region for some time and sales during the second quarter fell by 16.0 percent. The market for mobile telephones shows no growth, which has led to a weak development for our customers in the important German market. We also see increasing competition in the segment outside the senior market.

United Kingdom and Ireland

Sales during the second quarter increased by 7.0 percent. The acquisition of the British telecare company Welbeing, which has been consolidated with effect from 1 June 2018, compensated for decreasing mobile phone sales during the period.

North America

The region showed continuing growth during the second quarter. Sales increased by 23.9 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017. As planned, our launch of 4G feature phone will occur during the second half of 2018.

Rest of the world

Net sales in the rest of the world amounted to SEK 2.3 million (4.7).

Other

During the second quarter, income and income adjustments that were not connected to any specific region amounted to SEK -6.1 million (-1.1).

Products

Sales in the Product category decreased by 10.1 percent compared with the second quarter of 2017, mainly due to continuing weak market development for mobile phones. This was especially true in Central and Eastern Europe, where the weak market development had a negative effect on a number of key customers and competition outside the senior market increased. The gross margin for the category increased to 34.7 percent (30.2), which was very largely due to positive currency effects, especially from a weaker USD against EUR and GBP.

Services

Sales in the Services category increased by 41.5 percent, partly due to the acquisition of the British telecare company Welbeing, which was consolidated with effect from 1 June 2018, and also the positive development of sales in the Nordic region. Including Welbeing, the number of subscriptions in Doro Care amounted to approximately 200,000 (123,000), of which Welbeing contributed with approximately 75,000 subscriptions. The gross margin for the category increased to 46.8 percent (38.0), mainly due to streamlining service deliveries in Doro Care.

Equity and the Doro share

Doro's share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap, in the segment Telecom/IT. On 30 June 2018 the number of issued shares was 24,204,568. Total equity amounted to SEK 643.0 million (540.8).

Related party transactions

During the period there were no transactions between Doro and related parties that had any significant effect on the company's position and financial results.

Personnel

On 30 June 2018, Doro had 613 (483) employees, corresponding to 501 (377) full-time equivalents. Of these, 318 (373) are based in the Nordics, 57 (57) in Central and Eastern Europe, 27 (29) in West and South Europe and Africa, 202 (15) in the United Kingdom and Ireland and 9 (9) in the rest of the world.

Risks

Risks and uncertainty factors are primarily related to the challenge of continuously developing competitive products, disturbances to deliveries, customer relations, exchange rate fluctuations, loan financing and the public procurement process in Doro Care. Other than these risks, which are described in more detail on pages 35 and 36 of the annual report, no other significant risks have been identified during the period.

Parent company

The parent company's net sales during the second quarter amounted to SEK 328.3 million (393.9). Profit after tax was SEK 15.7 million (-0.9).

Accounting principles

This interim report has been created for the group in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and for the parent company in accordance with Annual Reports Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, "Accounting for legal entities". The accounting principles and calculation methods used correspond with those that were used to create the latest annual report, except that the group applies IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers with effect from 1 January 2018. The transition has had no significant effect on the financial reports.

Seasonal variations

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

Outlook

We firm up on our outlook for 2018 and expect sales in the range SEK 1.9bn – 2.0bn and an operating profit (EBIT) in the range SEK 105m – 135m, including Welbeing, but excluding any further acquisitions or restructuring costs.

Our previous expectation was sales in the range SEK 1.9bn – 2.1bn million and an operating profit (EBIT) in the range SEK 100m - 140m, excluding acquisitions.

The report for the third quarter of 2018 will be published on 19 October 2018

Notes

Note 1 – Net sales by market

With effect from 1 January 2018, Doro has changed its reporting of sales by market so that this follows the geographical markets. This means that Doro Care is no longer reported as a separate region. Comparison figures for 2017 have been recalculated according to the new way of reporting. With effect from 1 January 2018, Doro has changed the names of several of the geographical markets so as to show more clearly which region is referred to. The region that was previously called EMEA has changed name to West and South Europe and Africa (WSEA), DACH has changed name to Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the United Kingdom has changed name to the United Kingdom and Ireland and the USA and Canada region has changed name to North America.

Note 3 – Subdivision of income statement by function

With effect from 1 January 2018, Doro is changing from subdivision of income statement by cost type to subdivision of income statement by function. The reason for the change is that Doro is governed on the basis of a functional organisation, so that a subdivision of income statement by function gives clearer information about the group's development. In connection with this change, the definition of gross profit has changed so that costs of services performed and guarantee costs etc. are now included in the cost of goods and services sold.

Note 4 – Acquisitions

On 1 June 2018, Doro acquired the British telecare company Welbeing by purchasing all shares in the parent company of the Welbeing group, Greencoat House Limited. Acquisition expenses had a negative effect on halfyear profit of SEK 4.8 million. The purchase price was paid partly in cash, SEK 128.9 million, of which SEK 15.2 million related to payment of liabilities to the previous owner, and partly through a directed placement of 449,313 shares, valued at SEK 19.2 million. Goodwill is linked to the strengthened position in the Care area in the United Kingdom, which Welbeing's sales channels provide, and increased know-how in the Care area. At the time of acquisition the company had about 180 employees. In the last full financial year, Welbeing had annual sales of GBP 7.6 million.

Use of non-IFRS results measurement

Guidelines regarding alternative key figures for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within the EU have been issued by the ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority). These guidelines shall be applied to alternative key figures that are used with effect from 3 July 2016. The interim report has references to a number of non-IFRS result measurements that are used to help both investors and management in analysing the company's activities. Below we describe the non IFRS result measurements that are used as a supplement to the financial information that is reported according to IFRS.

Description of financial result measurements that are not found in the IFRS rules

Non-IFRS result measurement Description Reason for use of measurement
Restructuring costs Costs of impairment and personnel costs in connection with
restructuring.
This measurement shows the specific costs that arise in
connection with restructuring of a specific activity, which
contributes to better understanding of the underlying cost
level in the ongoing operational activities.
Gross margin % Net sales minus cost of goods and services sold as a
percentage of net sales.
The gross margin is an important measurement for
showing the margin before other costs.
Sales growth comparable units % Net sales for the period minus net sales for companies
acquired during the period minus net sales for the
corresponding period in the previous year as a percentage of
net sales for the corresponding period in the previous year.
Sales growth comparable units shows the group's organic
growth excluding company acquisitions.
Currency adjusted sales
growth %
Net sales for the period recalculated with exchange rates for
the corresponding period the previous year minus net sales
for the corresponding period the previous year as a
percentage of net sales for the corresponding period the
previous year.
This measurement shows sales growth with currency
effects cancelled out.
Equity ratio Equity expressed as a percentage of total assets A traditional measurement for showing financial risk,
expressed as the percentage of the total capital that is
financed by the owners.
Return on average equity Rolling 12-month profit, after financial items and tax, divided
by average equity.
Shows from a shareholder perspective what the return is
on the owners' invested capital.
Capital employed Total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities and cash
and bank deposits.
The measurement shows how much total capital is used
in the operation and is thus the only component in
measuring return from the activities.
Return on average capital
employed
Rolling 12-month operating profit divided by the average
quarterly capital employed
The key measurement for measuring the return on all the
capital in the company.
Number of subscription
