Message from the CEO

During the third quarter, the market has started to return to a more normal position and our sales have increased compared to the previous quarter. Doro Care have continued to deliver growth and gained new market shares in Europe. During the quarter, Doro Phones defended its market leading position and we also see a positive recovery in Germany, after the recent restructuring we carried out in the region.

We have during the quarter delivered an improved operating profit of SEK 38.4 million (25.0) adjusted for restructuring costs and costs for the listing of business area Doro Care. This is an improvement of 54 percent compared to the same quarter last year and an improvement to the previous quarter. The improved operating profit is mainly an effect of lower operating costs, due to the previously implemented restructuring program within Doro Phones. During the quarter, Doro Care performed below expectations with lower profitability, which can partly be explained by non-recurring costs in Norway of approximately SEK 5 million and partly by higher costs in our alarm receiving centres and continued high component costs. We are expected to see improved profitability in the coming quarters, and we work continuously to improve the efficiency in our service delivery.

During the quarter, we made two new acquisitions that further strengthened our Doro Care business. In line with our strategy, we have expanded and extended our geographical presence through the acquisition of Dutch Innocom. The Dutch market is an attractive market that we believe has great potential. Innocom is one of three leading companies in technology enabled care in the Netherlands and will be a perfect addition to our current business. At the end of the quarter, we also made a small acquisition in the United Kingdom when we acquired the assets of Helpline from Bromford Housing. Through the acquisition of Helpline, we are involved in driving the digital shift forward, as it becomes increasingly difficult for smaller players like Helpline to implement the shift themselves. Both acquisitions are fully in line with our strategy of becoming the European market leader in technology enabled care, which we want to pursue through both organic and acquisition growth.

Doro Phones delivered strong margins and a strong operating profit during this quarter. The strong gross margin is mainly driven by an improved product and customer mix as well as a positive currency effect. It is with great satisfaction that we see that, unlike many others, we have been able to continue to supply and sell products despite the great challenges that currently exist in component availability and logistics.

The strategy for the business area going forward will be to continue to consolidate its position as the market leader for senior phones in Europe, but also to broaden the offering to new product areas. Doro intends to continue to make new technology available to seniors, by constantly working closely and developing new products for the senior market. We also want to initiate new strategic collaborations and implement smart acquisitions. Thereby continuing to facilitate the use of new technology and stimulate the senior's interest and curiosity for technology going forward.

The implementation of our long-term strategies for each business area is fully in progress, at the same time we work daily to deliver excellent quality in the entire service delivery, as well as in our products. The work aims to create the best possible conditions for both business areas, ahead of the planned separate listing. The ambition to complete the listing at the end of the quarter remains and we look forward to developing both businesses and reach their full potential as independent companies.

Carl-Johan Zetterberg Boudrie, President and CEO

" During the quarter, we expanded our geographical presence within Doro Care and acquired Innocom, a leading player in technology enabled care in the Dutch market."

"Doro Phones goal is to broaden its product offering and make new technology available for seniors while consolidating its position as a market leader."

OPERATING PROFIT

Highlights during the third quarter

The gross margin increased compared with the third quarter of 2020 and amounted to 37.4 percent (32.4).

EBITDA for the third quarter increased by 25.8 percent to SEK 66.9 million (53.2), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 16.3 percent (12.0).

EBITA for the third quarter increased to SEK 40.3 million (26.2). Planned depreciation of intangible assets from company acquisitions was SEK -1.9 million (-1.2) during the quarter, resulting in an EBIT of SEK 38.4 million and an EBIT margin of 9.4 percent. The improved operating margin is mainly explained by the effects of the cost saving program and the improved gross margin.

Net financial items for the third quarter totalled SEK -1.8 million (0.2) including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currency. The decrease is mainly due to the strengthening of SEK against the EUR and USD currencies. Group tax for the quarter was SEK -9.4 million (- 6.5). Profit after tax for the period was SEK 27.2 million (18.7).

HIGHLIGHTS BY BUSINESS AREA

DORO CARE

Third quarter

Net sales in business area Doro Care for the third quarter amounted to SEK 140.5 million (124.2), an increase of 13.1 percent compared with the third quarter of 2020. Sales of services increased by 7.6 percent to SEK 111.2 million (SEK 103.3 million) and product sales increased by 40.2 percent to SEK 29.3 million (20.9). Organic growth in the quarter amounted to 4.8 percent, adjusted for currency effects it amounted to 6.0 percent, which is a step in the right direction for the business area.

The gross margin for the third quarter was 40.2 percent (40.8). The margin has been negatively affected by higher costs for components and freight. The cost for the service delivery has also been negatively affected by challenges in recruiting, as there is high competition for competent employees in the market and increased salaries. We work continuously to ensure that we become more efficient in our service delivery and in the long term counteract the negative effects while maintaining high quality.

EBIT amounted to SEK 9.4 million (9.7) in the quarter, excluding correction of historical VAT in Norway of SEK 5.0 million, which corresponds to an EBIT margin of 6.7 percent (7.8). The lower operating profit is mainly explained by the decreased gross margin. The number of subscriptions at the end of the period was 390.000 (304.000) an increase by 12.1 percent, mainly explained by the acquisition of Innocom.

Sales in the Nordics increased by 0.9 percent compared with the third quarter of 2020. We have won and defended several contracts during the period, which shows our strength in the market. Resource challenges for our customers, as a result of COVID-19, and component shortages have led to delayed implementations of new contracts and lower hardware sales, which has affected sales negatively.

Sales in the UK and Ireland increased by 15.3 percent compared with the third quarter of 2020. The increase in sales is mainly a result of the acquisitions which were incorporated into the group last year. At the end of the quarter, we communicated the acquisition of the assets from Helpline, a clear sign of how we believe the market will develop with the digital shift. Sales for Other regions during the third quarter totalled SEK 13.4 million (6.0), the increase is mainly due to increased product sales and the acquisition of the Dutch company Innocom. With the acquisition we have a strong and interesting position in the Netherlands for growth.

DORO PHONES

Third quarter

Net sales in business area Doro Phones for the third quarter amounted to SEK 269.4 million (319.0), a decrease of 15.5 percent compared with the third quarter of 2020. We have continued to see good development in our main markets with maintained or strengthened market position. Especially in Central and Eastern Europe, where we saw an improvement compared with the second quarter of this year. The strategic decision to phase out less profitable markets as part of our cost-saving program has as planned had a negative effect on sales, primarily due to the phasing out of North America

The order book decreased by 34.9 percent compared to the third quarter of 2020 but increased by 10.1 percent compared to the second quarter of 2021. The decrease is mainly explained by the phase out of North America.

The gross margin for the third quarter was 36.0 percent (29.1). The high gross margin is partly explained by a more profitable product and customer mix and partly due to more favourable exchange rates in the quarter. EBIT amounted to SEK 39.5 million (23.1) during the third quarter, which is equivalent to an EBIT margin of 14.7 percent (7.2). The improved profitability is explained by the strong gross margin and a lower cost level from the initiatives incorporated through the restructuring program.

Sales in the Nordics increased by 8.6 percent compared with the third quarter of 2020 and sales in Western and Southern Europe and Africa decreased by 20.1 percent. In both regions, we maintained our strong market position even though sales in Western and Southern Europe and Africa were negative in the quarter compared with the same period last year. This is an effect of the price increase announced during the second quarter, which influenced customers' inventory levels at the beginning of the third quarter. Furthermore, the third quarter of last year, especially in Western and Southern Europe, was positively affected by a recovery from the first wave of COVID-19.

Sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland increased by 3.5 percent compared to the third quarter of 2020 and sales in Central and Eastern Europe decreased by 16.8 percent. The restructuring that was initiated at the end of the first quarter of the Central and Eastern Europe region has resulted in an improved level of sales compared with previous quarters this year. During the quarter, North America was completely phased out as an effect of the strategic decision to focus on more profitable markets.

FINANCIAL DEVELOPMENT

Cash flow, investments, and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities during the third quarter was SEK -13.1 million (155.9). The decrease is mainly due to a negative change in working capital compared with the third quarter of 2020.

Risks

In the present situation, the most significant risks are those relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Within Doro Care, the pandemic may result in problems meeting demand for services if a large number of our alarm centre staff are absent from work while at the same time there is an increase in the number of alarms being generated. Risks relating to information security are slightly increased (personal data) due to a large number of staff working from home, including alarm receiving centre staff. Procurements and product launches are in danger of being postponed as a result of the pandemic.

As a consequence of the pandemic and the situation in the world with higher shipping costs and an increased shortage of components, there is a risk of increased costs and challenges in the supply chain.

Other risks are described on pages 40–42 of the Annual Report 2020.

AUDITOR'S REPORT

Doro AB (publ) corp. reg. no. 556161-9429

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of Doro AB (publ) as of 30 September 2021 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.
