2015 outlook reiterated

CEO comment

In the first quarter we saw a remarkable increase in demand for a broad range of our products, as well as in our acquisition Caretech. Our expanded smartphone range for seniors has been well established with the larger operators and partners across most of our markets. This is visible in both sales and order intake.

I am perhaps most positively surprised about the swift return of high growth in our high margin Nordic region where sales increased by 2.4 times compared to the same quarter last year. This growth was triggered by our smart phones ramp-up.

Sales in EMEA also increased sharply or by 78.1 percent, and sales in the UK increased by 35.5 percent – growth rates that confirm the solid demand for our products and our new design, strengthening the growth trend of our niche senior phones market. Sales in US & Canada declined compared to the same quarter last year, but the order intake was up 60.5 percent compared to previous year. Sales have been negatively affected by phasing between different phone models.

I am sorry to report a currency loss due to insufficient hedging during a period of sharp and rapid appreciation of the USD, which of course reduces our short term earnings. The total negative currency impact on the first quarter result was SEK 27.1m, as explained in the "Currency impact" section on page 3. We have reviewed our currency hedging routines and consider the main part of the loss as of nonrecurring character.

Going forward, and in view of the continued strong USD, we do continue to take measures for reviewed pricing and product costs as well as operating expenses. Our organization has achieved a critical size for continued growth. Consequent positive effects on our profit margins will be seen primarily in the second half of 2015.

Our accelerated expansion with larger operators and partners in Europe means that also our working capital grows. This has affected cash flow in the quarter. We expect cash flow generation to improve gradually.

Caretech, which was consolidated in February, has developed according to plan and is a key part of our strategy for the coming years. A synergy program is in place and our next focus will be on developing the care service offering in order to expand our recurring subscription based revenues.

The transition from analogue to digital social alarm technology is of high priority among our customers and creates business opportunities for us through the development and launch of new services. Caretech can benefit from the Doro organization and we see that synergies can be extracted in several markets. It is a unique combination addressing the international telecare market – a market which we see as an important platform for growth for the coming years.

We reiterate our previously communicated outlook for the year: 2015 sales and profit for the group are expected to increase with the main part generated in the second half of the year.

Financial overview, Group first quarter 2015

Sales

Doro's net sales for the first quarter amounted to SEK 340.1m (233.0), an increase of 46.0 percent compared with the first quarter 2014. The increase in net sales was a result of good progress in the ramp-up of smartphone volumes for several large customers in the Nordics and EMEA, good demand for more mature products and the consolidation of Caretech, which took place end of January. Growth was also positively affected by some customer pre-orders in view of our announced price adjustments for the second quarter. Adjusted for Caretech, net sales growth was 34.5 percent (25.5 percent including currency effects), as compared to the same quarter last year.

Order intake for the first quarter increased by 77.9 percent during the first quarter, with the Nordic region and EMEA as the strongest regions. Excluding Caretech, the order intake increased by 66.4 percent.

Currency impact

The total impact of currency in the first quarter was SEK -27.1m, whereof SEK -22.9m affected operating costs, and SEK -4.2m affected gross margin. This is higher than the SEK -20m communicated March 17 as extra cost for insufficient currency hedging. The reasons for this deviation are: i) sales growth has been stronger-than-anticipated, ii) actual figures are now based on finally consolidated balance sheet, and iii) hedging would not cover 100 percent of flows.

Hedging of currency for second quarter trade is at a level which reflects our current trade volumes inside the limit of Doro's policy.

Result

The gross margin decreased to 36.3 percent (40.4) as an effect of higher direct cost related to technologies, and the currency effect described above. EBITDA for the quarter decreased to SEK -11.7m (14.9), resulting in a negative EBITDA margin of 3.4 percent (positive 11.8). The result also includes non-recurring costs related to the acquisition of Caretech of SEK 0.2m.

EBIT in the first quarter was SEK -22.5m (3.6), with a negative EBIT margin of 6.6 percent (positive 8.8). EBIT adjusted for total impact of currency, of which insufficient hedging is the main part, was SEK 4.6m.

Net financial items for the quarter were SEK -5.5m (-0.5), which includes approximately SEK -1.3m related to revaluation of deferred consideration in conjunction with final payment for our acquisition of IVS. Revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currencies is included in the financial net in the amount of SEK -2.7m.

Group tax for the quarter amounted to SEK 6.3m (-1.1). Loss for the period amounted to SEK -21.7m (2.0).

Cash flow, investments and financial position

Cash flow from current activities in the quarter was SEK -44.6m (-28.8), mainly as an effect of increased working capital, where stock and accounts receivables continued to expand as a result of strategic listings with new operators, higher sales volumes and value increases for inventory in foreign currency. Cash flow related to change in working capital amounted to SEK -34.0m (-38.0). Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the quarter amounted to SEK 52.2m (70.2).

The equity/asset ratio was 38.2 percent (48.4) at the end of the period. Net debt was SEK 194.0m compared with a net cash position of SEK 24.8m at the end of the corresponding period last year. During the quarter, Doro completed the acquisition of Caretech AB for a total consideration, net of cash and cash equivalents in Caretech AB, of SEK 229.1m, financed by a combination of existing cash, bank loans and a non-cash share issue directed towards the sellers of Caretech AB.

Dividend

As announced March 19 this year, the Board proposes no payment of dividend for 2014. The proposal is based on the company's intention to retain a strong equity base in order to exploit further expansion opportunities in the Care area, and maintain continued good organic growth in the company's segment for senior mobile phones.

Significant events during the period

Completion of the acquisition of Caretech AB

January 30, Doro completed the closing of the previously announced acquisition of Caretech AB whereby 63.7 percent of shares in Caretech AB were transferred to Doro against cash payment.

February 18, Doro completed the acquisition of Caretech AB with a non-cash issue of 2,033,772 shares as payment to the sellers of Caretech AB for the remaining 36.3 percent of Caretech AB. The value of the non-cash consideration amounted to SEK 84.4m. As a result of the new share issue, the total number of outstanding shares and votes in Doro AB (publ) increased to 23,238,255, resulting in dilution of approximately 8.7 percent for existing shareholders.

Product launches at the GSMA Mobile World Congress in Barcelona in March

Doro participated at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. The company received a Global Mobile Award for "Best Mobile Device for Accessibility & Inclusion" and released two new mobile phones and a new service:

Doro Liberto® 820 Mini

A pocket version of the Doro Liberto® 820.

Doro 820 Claria

The Doro 820 Claria is an adaptation of the Doro smartphone to make it suitable for the blind user.

Doro Connect & Care®

The service facilitates the delivery of help and assistance – whether in an emergency situation such as a fall accident, or for a basic everyday household task, such as closing a window. The service allows family members to create their own network of people willing to help provide daily care and offer assistance to their senior relative.

Divestment of Service & Sales GmbH

During the first quarter IVS GmbH divested its small subsidiary Service & Sales Gmbh. The divestment has not had any cash flow impact and it will not have any impact on future results.

The Nordic region

Net sales in the Nordic region continued to develop favorably based on continued progress for Doro Liberto® 820, continued sales growth for feature phones and as a result of customer restocking after solid Christmas holiday sales. Doro Liberto® 820 Mini started to get listings at both operators and retailers.

DACH (Germany, Austria and Switzerland)

Marketing activities for Doro Liberto® 820 continued in the quarter. Doro Liberto® 820 Mini was introduced in several markets towards the end of the quarter, also in important Eastern European markets.

EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa)

Growth in EMEA was based on continued ramp-up of smartphone sales with several large customers, primarily in France. Agreements with several new customers, both distributors and operators, were signed in Spain and Italy. We saw a good start for Doro Liberto® 820 Mini in terms of listings.

United Kingdom

UK reported double digit growth driven by positive mix effects with demand shifting from entry-level to mid-/ and high-end devices.

While the sell-through remains unchanged in US, sales in Canada have been reduced due to lower demand for feature phones. However, our order intake in the quarter was 60.5 percent higher than previous year.
