CEO comment

It is with great satisfaction that I look back on a strong 2015. Doro delivered more than 43% sales growth in the fourth quarter and for the full year, with a gross margin that gradually has recovered from the rapid US dollar increase one year ago. In the fourth quarter, EBITDA increased 58 percent to 72 MSEK compared to the same quarter last year. Further, the cash flow from current activities improved to 32 MSEK for the fourth quarter compared to negative in same quarter last year. We are entering 2016 as a growth company, now with revenues approaching 2 BSEK and close to 300 employees.

We successfully launched our 4G smartphone in Europe in the fourth quarter and we are looking forward to launching it in the US and Canada during the first quarter 2016. In 2015 we sold about 2.8 million mobile phones (2.5 million in 2014). In terms of specific markets, we experienced particularly strong growth in among others the Baltics, Spain and Italy. In 2015, we invested significantly to develop an improved user interface for our smartphones and cloud connections for relatives of our users.

The Caretech acquisition, now called Doro Care, has during 2015 materialized synergies within sales, marketing, R&D, HR and finance. The integration has been successful and given us a platform for service offerings. Our ambition is to grow our B2B offerings within mobile telecare, increasing average revenue per user and expanding geographically via acquisitions. In 2015 Caretech sales grew 38%, we entered the Norwegian market and achieved good sales in Germany, UK and the Netherlands. To further strengthen our international presence, we are continuously evaluating complementary acquisitions.

In Sweden, the trend toward conversion of analogue personal alarms to digital puts Doro Care at a distinct technical advantage in the market. We now serve over 65% of Swedish municipalities. The number of subscribers has increased by 26,000 to more than 80,000 in 2015, (compared to an increase of 11,000 in 2014), generating SEK 71m in recurring revenues entering 2016. To drive this expansion and offer a 100% redundant service, we have decided to open an additional alarm receiving center in Kalix, Sweden.

The next step of our strategy is to develop a B2C service platform by combining the Doro Care infrastructure with the marketing channels and skills of our consumer device business. Reflecting this ambition, we will in February at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona present the Doro Connect and Care application - a private social network service enabling social connections between Seniors and Carers.

The order book almost doubled to SEK 194m in Q4 2015, which makes me confident in our ability to continue to deliver profitable growth in 2016. I am convinced that our strategy across all our businesses will continue to bear fruit. Particularly within Doro Care, we see high-potential opportunities ahead. The solid platform we established in 2015 provides us with the assurance and ability we need to seize these opportunities.

Jérôme Arnaud, President & CEO

Financial overview group, fourth quarter 2015

Sales

Doro's net sales in the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 625.6m (437.1), an increase of 43.1 percent compared with the fourth quarter 2014. Adjusted for Caretech net sales grew by 31.6 percent (14.7). Currency adjusted growth for the fourth quarter amounted to 29.0 percent.

The Christmas season contributed strongly to sales growth. Particularly smartphones and the 4G smartphone that was launched in Europe during the quarter boosted sales, but feature phones and accessories generated solid sales as well. Well-received campaigns and strong partnerships also contributed to the success.

The service offerings within Caretech performed well and supported the sales growth. The number of subscribers reached above 80,000 in the fourth quarter and are now generating recurring revenues of SEK 71m on a yearly basis by year-end.

Order intake increased by 43.8 percent for the fourth quarter to SEK 527.5m (366.9). Excluding Caretech, order intake increased by 30.0 percent to SEK 476.9 (366.9). Sales in all regions were strong, and Nordics which is the main market for the service offerings within Caretech, contributed the most with sales growth of almost 60 percent.

Result

The gross margin decreased to 38.5 percent compared to 40.6 percent the corresponding quarter last year as an effect of changed product mix, variation in regional sales volumes and a stronger US dollar. The gross margin improved compared to the third quarter (36.6 percent) as an effect of higher sales in Caretech, lower technology costs and that the company has been able to compensate the higher dollar level in pricing and currency hedging.

EBITDA for the quarter increased compared to last year, to SEK 71.8m (45.5), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 11.5 percent (10.4).

EBITA for the fourth quarter increased to SEK 61.2m (36.8). Amortization of intangible assets generated in conjunction with company acquisitions, amounted to SEK -2.5m (-1.6), resulting in an EBIT of SEK 58.7m (35.2). The EBIT margin improved to 9.4 percent (8.1).

Net financial items in the fourth quarter were SEK -2.1m (-1.9), including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currencies.

Group tax in the quarter amounted to SEK -14.2m (-10.9).

Net profit for the period amounted to SEK 42.4m (22.4).

Cash flow, investments and financial position

Cash flow from current activities in the fourth quarter improved to SEK 32.1m (-9.8), mainly as an effect of improved results and lower paid taxes. Investments in the fourth quarter were higher than in the corresponding quarter 2014, the main reason being product launches, particularly smartphones.

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the fourth quarter amounted to SEK 43.9m (78.2).

The equity/asset ratio was 40.4 percent (39.3) at the end of the period. Net debt was SEK 116.6m, compared with SEK 122.9m at the end of the previous quarter and with a net cash position of SEK 36.5m at the end of the corresponding period last year.

To improve our financial flexibility, we have during the fourth quarter signed a new bank agreement that is an extension of our current. The new agreement includes an increased facility that may be used for acquisitions as well as to finance working capital.

Dividend

The board of directors will announce its proposal for dividend for 2015 in the notice of the Annual General Meeting 2016, which will be published in late March.

Significant events after the period

A new call center in Kalix

Doro announced on January 7 that it has decided to establish a new call center in Kalix, Sweden. As the number of municipalities switching to digital social alarms keep increasing, this is a necessary investment in order to be able to offer a 100% redundancy service. Doro will be the only digital social alarm provider operating two call centers in the Nordic region. The two call centres, including the previous one in Malmö, will offer services in all Nordic languages as well as another 15 more. The call-center in Kalix will open in March 2016.

Caretech rebranded Doro Care

Announced January 20th, all offerings related to digital and mobile care solutions are now rebranded and organized under one name, Doro Care. At the same time as the rebranding was communicated, Doro Care also launched the alarm device Doro Secure 480. This watch is the result of a joint R&D project with participants from Doro's hardware development team and Doro Care's development team. The watch is an alarm device and mobile phone that offers features such as GPS tracking and Geofencing. (Geofencing uses GPS to send notifications when a person leaves or enters an area preset to personal preferences and as such increasing the security for the elderly.)
