CEO's comment

Doro's sales were stable in the quarter, despite sales in the US falling, and an import embargo in Algeria that had a negative impact on the EMEA region. Simultaneously we increased our earnings. Net sales in the third quarter were down by 1.7 percent to SEK 465.3m (473.2), while growth excluding the US and Canada increased by 1.2 percent. Order intake was up 0.6 percent to SEK 561.4m (557.9), and the order book expanded by 5.9 percent. Our earnings improvement continued in the third quarter. Despite gross margin contracting to 37.5 percent (39.3), our operating margin increased to 4.6 percent (2.9). After three consecutive quarters of earnings improvement, we can conclude that actions to increase the operating efficiency are paying off.

Doro Care increased sales by 30 percent in like-for-like terms, supported by progress in Germany, and a higher level for our subscription-based operation in the Nordics, where the subscriber base was larger than in the corresponding period of last year.

Sales in the US/Canada region were down year-on-year also in the third quarter. However, the downturn was lower than in the second quarter of this year. The increase in mobile phone sales throughout 2016 by Doro's operator customers in the region was due to a shift in technology from 2G to 3G throughout 2016. We think the sales downturn has levelled out. We are planning for the next technology generation on the North American market, with the ambition of launching a 4G phone in the second half of 2018.

Our impression is that the general mobile phone market was weak in the third quarter, but that Doro thanks to its orientation towards the senior segment successfully defended or increased market shares in its regions. The UK was our best-performing region in the quarter, achieving a sales growth of 20 percent.

As part of our overall process of streamlining our operations, we focused on a number of actions in the aftermarket and supply chain in the period. With our strong earnings performance this year to date, we can see we are heading in the right direction, and I'm looking forward to our ongoing work on continuous improvement.

We launched several new products in the quarter, mostly at the IFA trade show in Berlin - all received positive initial reactions. The launch of our new smartphone, the Doro 8040, attracted heavy media attention, and sales have started on most of our markets.

We're currently formulating our strategy for developing Doro over the coming years, and will present this at a capital markets day in November in Stockholm.

Results for January-September support an unchanged outlook for 2017: our expectation for 2017 is that both sales and EBIT will increase compared to 2016.

Robert Puskaric, President & CEO

Sales growth excluding US/Canada 1.2%

High sales in the UK, and for Care, weaker for other regions

Smartphone sales increased as planned

Doro Care's sales up by 30% on the previous year

Financial overview group, third quarter 2017

Sales

Doro's net sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 465.3m (473.2), a 1.7 percent decrease on the third quarter 2016. Adjusted for currency effects, the downturn was 0.8 percent. Excluding the US/Canada region, sales were up by 1.2 percent.

Third-quarter order intake was up 0.6 percent in like-for-like terms year-on-year (including Trygghetssentralen), to SEK 561.4m (557.9). The value of the order book was SEK 374.7m (353.9) at the end of the quarter.

Sales in the Nordics were down 5.7 percent year-on-year. However, this downturn was less than for the general Nordic mobile phone market, suggesting that we increased our market share in a weak market in the period.

Sales in the DACH region decreased 6.5 percent after robust progress in the first half-year. Considering that performance was better than the overall German market, our view is that we defended our market share successfully in this region.

Sales in the EMEA region declined 12.5 percent, largely due to an embargo on mobile phone imports to Algeria, which restricted our sales in the quarter, as well as a strong comparative quarter.

Negative sales growth continued in the US/Canada region, with a 40 percent decrease on the third quarter 2016. The increase in mobile phone sales throughout 2016 by Doro's operator customers in the region was due to a shift in technology from 2G to 3G. The downturn was lower than in the second quarter of this year, indicating that the sales downturn levelled off in the third quarter.

Sales in the UK increased by 20 percent in the third quarter, supported by increased marketing efforts and relatively healthy retail growth.

Sales of smartphones increased as planned in the quarter, representing some 19 percent of Doro's total mobile phone sales. Our offering in this category is in continuous focus and regeneration, with the launch of our new smartphone, the Doro 8040, in September being a good example.

Doro Care's progress continued in the third quarter. Sales increased 30 percent, supported by healthy growth in Germany, and higher subscription income in the Nordics in year-on-year terms. Sales were SEK 66.0m for the third quarter (50.6), of which SEK 45.6m (35.4), was subscription income.

Earnings

Doro's gross margin decreased on the third quarter 2016, and was 37.5 percent in the third quarter (39.3). Most of the year-on-year decline is attributable to a negative currency effect from the revaluation of forward contracts. All else equal, depreciation of the USD against the EUR has a positive impact on Doro's operating profit.

Third-quarter EBITDA increased 15.5 percent to SEK 38.0m (32.9), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 8.2 percent (7.0). The increased EBITDA was mainly due to lower overhead expenses compared to the third quarter 2016, which more than offset lower gross profit.

EBIT and EBIT margin per quarter, SEKm and %

EBITA also improved significantly, to SEK 22.6m (15.9). Amortization of intangible assets from business combinations according to plan was SEK -1.1 m (- 2.0) in the quarter, corresponding to an EBIT of SEK 21.5m (13.9) and an EBIT margin of 4.6 percent (2.9). EBIT includes restructuring expenses of SEK 1.3m (4.3). 10 2016 2017

Group tax for the quarter was SEK -5.7m (-1.2). 2,5

Profit after tax for the period was SEK 15.7m (12.6). 0 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q1 Q2 Q3

Cash flow, investments and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities in the third quarter was SEK 24.7m (36.5), with the decrease mainly due to an increase in working capital due to inventory build-up. Cash flow before changes in working capital increased to SEK 36.1m (21.8). Free cash flow, after investments but before business combinations, decreased to SEK 6.4m (18.7).

Cash and cash equivalents were SEK 64.4m at the end of the third quarter (22.9). At the same time, the equity/assets ratio was 46.1 percent (42.5).

Net debt declined in the period, amounting to SEK 120.6m at the end of the third quarter, which can be compared to SEK 127.2m at the end of the previous, second, quarter, and SEK 178.6m at the end of the third quarter 2016.

Significant events in the period

At the beginning of July, Susanne von Wowern voluntarily resigned from her position as Human Resources Director of Doro and left the company at the beginning of August. Åsa Lindé Tornee was appointed Interim Human Resources Director at the beginning of September.

Malin Lindgärde was appointed VP of Marketing and Communications, and took up her position at the beginning of August.

* Notes 1, 2 United Kingdom

Nordic

Sales in the Nordics decreased 5.7 percent in the third quarter. Growth for the nine-month period was 7.3 percent. Based on market data from resellers, our view is that Doro increased market share somewhat on a weak general mobile phone market, partly thanks to a positive product mix. Market share progress for the nine-month period is similar, largely due to a strong first quarter. Other regions

DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Central Europe)

Sales decreased 6.5 percent in DACH in the third quarter, mainly due to lower sales in Germany. Growth for the nine-month period was 12.2 percent. Considering performance was better than the general market for smartphones and feature phones in Germany, our view is that Doro successfully defended its market share in the region.

EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa)

Sales in the third quarter 2017 decreased 12.5 percent, mainly because of an embargo on mobile phone imports in Algeria, which stopped Doro's sales in the country. The comparative quarter also included a large-scale one-off order in the country. Progress in France was also slow, while growth in countries such as Belgium and Italy was positive.

UK

Sales increased 20 percent in the third quarter 2017, supported by increased marketing efforts and healthy retail sales growth, combined with stable demand for mobile phones. Sales performance by teleoperators contributed to this strong growth, as did product mix with a high share of advanced feature phones and smartphones.

US/Canada

Poor sales performance continued, with a downturn of nearly 40 percent yearon-year. However, the downturn was lower than in the previous, second, quarter. The increase in mobile phone sales throughout 2016 by Doro's operator customers in the region was due to a shift in technology from 2G to 3G throughout 2016. We think the sales downturn has levelled out. We are planning for the next technology generation on the North American market, with the ambition of launching a 4G phone in the second half of 2018.

Care

Care's sales increased by just over 30 percent in the third quarter, and growth for the nine-month period was 37.5 percent. The combination of continued positive sales in Germany and an increase in subscription income in the Nordics were the main contributors to growth in the quarter.

Of Care's total SEK 66.0m income for the quarter, SEK 45.6m was subscription income. This is an increase compared to the third quarter 2016, when subscription income amounted to 35.4m.

At the end of the quarter, the total subscriber base was 125,000, an increase compared to the third quarter 2016, when the subscriber base was nearly 113,000.

Other regions

Net sales in other regions were SEK 4.1m (4.5).

Central overhead

Income and income adjustments not related to a specific region were SEK 4.4m (-3.1) in the third quarter.

Doro's shares are listed on the Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap – Telecom/IT list. As of September 30, 2017, the total amount of shares outstanding was 23 755 255. Shareholders' equity amounted to SEK 557.0m (511.2).

Transactions with related parties

No transactions took place between Doro and related parties that had a material impact on the Company's financial position or results during the period.

Employees

Risks

Risks and uncertainty factors primarily relate to Doro's ability to continuously develop competitive products, supply disruptions, customer relationships, exchange rate fluctuations, loan finance and the public tendering processes within Doro Care. Apart from these risks and uncertainty factors, which are described in more detail on pages 23 and 24 of the Annual Report, no other material risks were identified in the period.

Parent Company

The Parent Company's net sales for the third quarter amounted to SEK 368.2m (341.3). The profit after tax amounted to SEK 8.4m (16.1).

Accounting principles

This Interim Report has been prepared on behalf of the Group according to IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting, and for the Parent Company in accordance with the Annual Accounts Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2 Accounting of legal entities.

The evaluation of the potential accounting effect of the new accounting standards IFRS 9 Financial instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from customer contracts, to be implemented on 1 January 2018, is on-going.

Seasonality

Doro's sales are subject to seasonal changes. Sales in the first quarter are normally the weakest in the year. Sales in the second and third quarter are normally sequentially higher than in the first quarter. Sales in the fourth quarter are normally the strongest in the year.

Outlook

Notes

Note 1 – Sales per market

Effective 1 January 2017, Doro altered the definition of its markets, so reporting is consistent with how sales are organised. This means sales are divided into geographical regions, with Doro Care as a separate region. The comparative figures for 2016 have been restated to comply with this new reporting method.

Use of non-IFRS performance measures

Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within the European Union have been issued by ESMA (the European Securities and Markets Authority). These guidelines apply to APMs disclosed when publishing regulated information on or after July 3, 2016. Reference is made in the interim report to a number of non-IFRS performance measures that are used to help investors as well as management analyse the company's operations. Described below are the non-IFRS performance measures that are used as a complement to the financial information that is reported in accordance with IFRS.

Description of financial measures that are not used in IFRS

Non-IFRS performance measure Description Reason for use of the measure

connection to restructuring.
This measure shows the specific costs that have arisen in
connection to restructuring of a specific operation, which
contributes to a better understanding of the underlying
cost level in the continuing operations.
Gross margin % Net Sales minus Merchandise costs in percentage of Net

Report of Review of Interim Financial Information

Doro AB (publ) company identity no 556161-9429

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Doro AB (publ) as of 30 September 2017 and the nine-month period then ended. The board of directors and the CEO are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on our review.

Scope of Review

We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements ISRE 2410, Review of Interim Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, ISA, and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim report is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the Parent Company.
