Message from the CEO

The first quarter has been affected by the covid-19 situation. In the beginning of the first quarter, supply chain was affected by the current situation. The business segment Phones was affected by a declining market and the order intake was negatively affected by covid-19 at end of the quarter. The situation brings home the importance of the essential social roles we provide through our service business. We have implemented the measures needed to ensure that we can continue to maintain a high level of service and quality in our service delivery and we have worked continuously with crisis management. We are taking the necessary steps to ensure that we can handle the situation in both the short term and the long term. I believe that all of us together, employees and partners will be able to position ourselves where we need to be once the market begins to recover.

In order to provide greater transparency and a clearer picture of Doro, as of this quarter the reporting for the group will be divided into two business segments: Care and Phones. Sales continued to rise in Care this quarter, by 10.8 percent, but the gross margin was not at the level we would like. The main reasons for the lower margin are our recent acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect and increased costs as a result of covid-19. The aim of extracting synergies from the acquisition has not progressed according to plan, which is disappointing. We have enhanced our efforts to achieve the profitability and to ensure our competitiveness in the future. Our innovation work continues and the upcoming launch of our new welfare hub, Doro Eliza, represents the very latest in technology enabled care. The product has won the iF Design Award for its basic and attractive design.

In the business segment Phones, total sales decreased by 15.7 percent compared with the same quarter last year, mainly caused by a general declining market and in the end of the quarter order intake was negatively affected by covid-19. We are working to improve profitability by adapting our cost structure with the aim of maintain our market position. We have therefore introduced short term leave for our employees on most of our markets, reduced the number of consultants and employees, investments have been withdrawn and postponed. The forecast indicates that sales will fall further during the second quarter. We are monitoring market developments closely and we will implement further substantial cost savings if necessary. During the quarter, we launched one of our anticipated hero products, our new Doro 8050 smartphone.

The current covid-19 situation is bringing many things to a head and in particular it highlights the importance of Doro's ongoing work to develop the digital technology of tomorrow that provides independence to elderly people. The need for a safe, active and meaningful everyday life for seniors has never been more relevant.

OPERATING PROFIT

Highlights during the first quarter

The gross margin increased compared with the first quarter of 2019 and amounted to 33.7 percent (31.1). This improvement compared with the previous year is mainly the result of product mix effects and lower freight costs.

EBITDA for the first quarter increased by 0.2 percent to SEK 43.7 million (43.6), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 10.3 percent (9.4).

EBITA for the first quarter decreased to SEK 18.3 million (24.0). Planned depreciation of intangible assets from company acquisitions was SEK 3.1 million (-2.8) during the quarter, resulting in an EBIT of SEK 15.2 million (21.2) and an EBIT margin of 3.6 percent (4.5). The decline in profitability is the result of higher depreciation costs relating to increased investments in product development for new telephones and alarm products that were launched over the past year.

Net financial items for the first quarter totalled SEK 4.7 million (-0.9) including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currency.

Group tax for the quarter was SEK -5.4 million (-4.9). Profit after tax for the period was SEK 14.5 million (15.4).

HIGHLIGHTS BY BUSINESS SEGMENT

CARE

First quarter

Net sales in the business segment Care for the first quarter amounted to SEK 130.3 million (117.6), an increase of 10.8 percent compared with the first quarter of 2019. Sales of services increased by 21.2 percent to SEK 103.6 million (SEK 85.5 million), while product sales were weaker than last year.

The gross margin for the first quarter was 40.8 percent (42.8).

EBIT amounted to SEK 7.2 million (11.8) during the first quarter, which is equivalent to an EBIT margin of 5.5 percent (10.0). The lower margin and operating profit are mainly the result of integration costs related to the acquisition of Centra Pulse & Connect and increased costs due to covid-19. The process of obtaining synergies from the acquisition has not gone according to plan, which is disappointing. We have intensified our efforts to achieve the right level of profitability to secure our future competitiveness.

The number of subscriptions at the end of the period was 316,000 (203,000).

Sales in the Nordics increased by 4.6 percent compared with the first quarter of 2019. This increase in sales can be attributed mainly to more subscribers and slightly higher revenue per subscription in the Nordics compared with the previous year.

Sales in the UK and Ireland increased by 30.4 percent compared with the first quarter of 2019. This increase in sales is mainly the result of the acquisition of Centra Pulse & Connect, which was incorporated in the group in September 2019.

Sales for other regions during the first quarter totalled SEK 6.8 million (9.7).

PHONES

First quarter

Net sales in the business segment Phones for the first quarter amounted to SEK 293.9 million (348.6), a decrease of 15.7 percent compared with the first quarter of 2019. Sales at the end of the quarter were negatively affected by covid-19, as a result of closes markets, and by a weak market generally. Doro has defended its market shares and we are working hard to become more competitive within Phones so that we can serve the market when it recovers again.

The gross margin for the first quarter was 30.6 percent (27.1).

EBIT amounted to SEK 9.9 million (12.3) during the first quarter, which is equivalent to an EBIT margin of 3.4 percent (3.5). This decline in profitability is mainly the result of higher depreciation costs relating to the new products that have been launched in recent months.

Sales in the Nordics decreased by 14.0 percent compared with the first quarter of 2019. This decline is the result of lower activity because of covid-19, but also of a slight fall in demand following a strong fourth quarter. Our new Doro 8050 smartphone was launched during the quarter and has been listed by the majority of customers in the region.

Sales in Western and Southern Europe and Africa decreased by 15.1 percent compared with the first quarter of 2019. Covid-19 has had a negative impact on sales in Italy and Spain in the end of the quarter, with the markets there closed down completely. Sales have also decreased in France, but we have managed to increase sales to some of our key customers in spite of the situation.

Sales in Central and Eastern Europe decreased by 13.8 percent compared with the first quarter of 2019 and sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland decreased by 16.4 percent. Sales on both markets are being negatively affected by product mix, and the closure of stores in the region in the end of the quarter, and the main focus is now on online trading. Despite the current situation, the Doro brand is not being affected as heavily as others, thanks to our focus on seniors, which in these times is more relevant than ever.

Sales in North America decreased by 21.2 percent compared with the first quarter of 2019. This decline is mainly the result of a very strong first quarter in 2019, thanks to major demand for our then recently launched smart 4G feature phone, Doro 7050.

Income and income adjustments for other regions during the first quarter totalled SEK -5.3 million (-6.3).

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Cash flow, investments and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter was SEK -2.5 million (40.8). This decrease is mainly the result of a worse change in working capital compared with the first quarter of 2019 due to increased inventories, higher tax payments and lower trade payables. The capital tied up in inventories and trade receivables, however, is significantly lower as at 31 March 2020 than at the corresponding time last year. Free cash flow, after investments but before acquisitions, amounted to SEK -22.0 million (19.2). Investments during the period amounted to SEK 19.5 million (21.6).

Cash and cash equivalents totalled SEK 172.4 million (150.8) at the end of the first quarter. At the same time, the equity ratio was 50.2 percent (46.1).

Net debt amounted to SEK 129.6 million at the end of the first quarter, compared with SEK 84.1 million at the end of the previous quarter and SEK 156.7 million at the end of the first quarter of 2019.

FREE CASH FLOW

Significant events during the period

  • Doro AB appoints new CFO.
  • Doro expects to see a negative impact on profits in 2020 as a result of uncertainty in the macroeconomic outlook.

Significant events after the period

Beginning of the second quarter was strongly impacted by covid-19. We have 174 employees on short-term leave in most of our markets. The future is uncertain and its unsure how to predict the covid-19 development. The measures we have taken in our service delivery have so far worked well, we continue to deliver high quality and service in our alarm receiving centres.

OTHER INFORMATION

Equity and the Doro share

Doro's share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap, in the segment Telecom/IT. On 31 March 2020, the number of issued shares was 24,204,568, of which Doro AB holds 439,030 Doro shares. Total equity amounted to SEK 809.3 million (718.1).

Employees

On 31 March 2020, Doro had 978 (688) employees, corresponding to 673 (566) full-time equivalents.

Risks

In the present situation, the most significant risks are those relating to the covid-19 pandemic. Stores remaining closed and a general downturn in the economy may have a major impact on sales of telephones. Within Care, the pandemic may result in problems meeting demand for service if more of our alarm centre staff are absent from work while at the same time there is an increase in the number of alarms. The risks relating to information security, with regard to sensitive personal data for example, increase as we work from home. Procurements and product launches are in danger of being postponed as a result of the pandemic.

Other risks are described on pages 28–29 of the Annual Report.
