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."

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).

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.

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.

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. Free cash flow. after investments but before acquisitions. amounted to SEK -33.8 million (145.1). Investments during the period amounted to SEK 20.7 million (10.8).
During the quarter, we acquired the Dutch company Innocom, it is reported as acquisitions. Cash and cash equivalents totalled SEK 73.1 million (249.3) at the end of the third quarter. At the same time, the equity ratio was 53.4 percent (48.7).
Net debt amounted to SEK 172.8 million at the end of the third quarter, the increased net debt is mainly explained by the acquisition of Innocom, compared with a net debt of SEK 73.1 million at the end of the previous quarter and a net cash of SEK 6.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2020.
• No significant events after the period
Doro's share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap, in the segment Telecom/IT. On 30 September 2021, the number of issued shares was 24,204,568 of which Doro AB holds 206,286 Doro shares. Total equity amounted to SEK 885.2 million (810.4).

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.

Guidelines regarding alternative key figures for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within the EU have been issued by the ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority). These guidelines shall be applied to alternative key figures that are used with effect from 3 July 2016. The interim report has references to a number of non-IFRS result measurements that are used to help both investors and management in analysing the company's activities. Below we describe the non IFRS result measurements that are used as a supplement to the financial information that is reported according to IFRS.
| Non-IFRS result measurement | Description | Reason for use of measurement |
|---|---|---|
| Restructuring costs | Costs of impairment and personnel costs in connection with restructuring. |
This measurement shows the specific costs that arise in connection with restructuring of a specific activity. which contributes to better understanding of the underlying cost level in the ongoing operational activities. |
| Gross margin % | Net sales minus cost of goods and services sold as a percentage of net sales. |
The gross margin is an important measurement for showing the margin before other costs. |
| Sales growth comparable units % |
Net sales for the period minus net sales for companies acquired during the period minus net sales for the corresponding period in the previous year as a percentage of net sales for the corresponding period in the previous year. |
Sales growth comparable units shows the group's organic growth excluding company acquisitions. |
| Currency adjusted sales growth % |
Net sales for the period recalculated with exchange rates for the corresponding period the previous year minus net sales for the corresponding period the previous year as a percentage of net sales for the corresponding period the previous year. |
This measurement shows sales growth with currency effects cancelled out. |
| Equity ratio | Equity expressed as a percentage of total assets | A traditional measurement for showing financial risk. expressed as the percentage of the total capital that is financed by the owners. |
| Return on average equity | Rolling 12-month profit. after financial items and tax. divided by average equity. |
Shows from a shareholder perspective what the return is on the owners' invested capital. |
| Capital employed | Total assets less non-interest-bearing liabilities and cash and bank deposits. |
The measurement shows how much total capital is used in the operation and is thus the only component in measuring return from the activities. |
| Return on average capital employed |
Rolling 12-month operating profit divided by the average quarterly capital employed |
The key measurement for measuring the return on all the capital in the company. |
| Number of subscription customers |
Number of subscription customers connected to alarm reception. |
This measurement shows the volume of customers in the services activities. |
| Unallocated operating expenses | Central operating expenses not allocated to the business segments. Doro Care and Doro Phones. These expenses include acquisition costs. restructuring costs. amortisation of values identified at company acquisitions and effects of accounting of leases in accordance with IFRS 16. |
These operating expenses are not allocated to the business segments so that the EBIT of the business segments shows the profitability excluding costs related to restructuring. acquisitions and IFRS 16- effects. This agree with how the business segments are measured internally. |

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.
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.
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.
