The second quarter of 2023 continued in the momentum of the first with general European consumer sentiment remaining weak. The challenging economic conditions resulted in reduced household consumption. By the end of May, the EU4 market for elderly phones (France, Germany, Great Britain, and Sweden) had experienced a -12.5% year-on-year value decline.
The technology shift with phasing out of older telecom networks (2G and 3G) and moving to 4G further accelerated in the quarter. All French operators communicated their end-of-life schedule for their 2G and 3G networks and the main operator in France is now also planning to incentivize the shift to 4G products, which Doro is capitalizing on due to our strong positioning in the 4G category. However, in certain markets, especially in the DACH region, 2G products are still in demand. As result hereof, Doro managed to retain good sales of 2G products in these markets during the quarter.
Despite a declining senior phone market, both Doro feature and smart phones sales increased compared to same quarter last year. Overall sales ended up at SEK 203 million, a slight increase of 2% compared to the previous year as fixed line and non-Doro products declined. Our gross margin however improved significantly, reaching 40% due to a favourable product mix, stable USD, and positive freight cost development.
Inventory management remained a priority also this quarter and ended up 35M lower than same quarter last year. This is especially important considering the technology shift, as we need to closely manage the 2G and 3G transition to 4G in the best way while continuing the portfolio optimisation.
In line with our strategy to broaden our offering while maintaining the leadership in senior phones, we continued our investments in developing for the future by further staff hirings within the product management and product development teams. At the same time, we continued working on finding the right channels and marketing for our new innovation products. In terms of marketing we also attended a number of major customer events and fairs across our regions, and we were very pleased to receive an award in France for our Doro Smart watch, from the major senior magazine of the country.
During the quarter we continued the implementation of our new sales activities, for example the rolling out of our end-cap solutions which continued in the Nordics and UK & Ireland, with Germany being next in line. In addition we invested in training sessions and workshop with external sales force and merchandising teams, which are now to visit our key customers' stores during the second half of the year, as seniors still are highly committed to physical store shopping.
Direct-to-consumer business remained a top strategic priority, and with our strengthened e-commerce team we are rapidly increasing our use of digital marketing and sales, as this provides a quicker and more direct way of communicating with consumers. On the digital side we have also during the quarter further invested in a deep dive external analysis of our present capabilities, tools, and platforms, bringing more clarity on how we can grow faster in the online channels going forward.
Our focus on our end-users, the seniors, also continued in the quarter with consumer research and prototyping, as well as improving processes and feedback to ensure that we fully understand the needs and challenges of the seniors.
All these investments in the future are reflected in increased operational costs, which results in a modest EBIT of SEK 1.0 million for the quarter.
Finally, we have increased our focus on our core values, Trust, Ease and Care, and started working across the entire organisation to ensure that these values are behind everything we do, internally as well as externally towards our customers, users, partners etc. We believe that these values are the fundament to developing the right products for our seniors.

Net sales for the second quarter amounted to SEK 203.0 million (198.4), an increase of 2.3 percent compared to the same period in 2022. The phone market for elderly, both feature and smart device, continues declining by double digits in most of our markets¹. Some of the biggest consumer electronics chains in Sweden and Germany faced financial difficulties, with consequences on their ordering. The quarter was more positive for other channels, such as operators in France, B2B business in Sweden, but also retail in Great Britain. Doro consolidated its position in the 4G category ahead of further expanding the portfolio during the fall.
In the countries and channels where the technology switch has not yet been announced, such as e.g. Germany, we were still very much present with our 2G feature phones. Our latest launched smartphone, the Doro 8200-series, shows a good trend, delivering better sales than earlier devices.

Sales in the Nordics amounted to SEK 56.1 million (44.0), an increase of 27.5 percent. This quarter was significantly better than previous year when we were faced with trying to implement price increases while our customers had large overstocks. The new smartphone device generated higher sales than its predecessor and the increasing part of 4G sales among feature phones contributed to the high turnover, as it increased the share of high-value products. B2B sales were also very good again in this quarter, boosted by Sweden's largest operator switching from copper to digital networks, and proposing Doro's 4G fixed phone for the updating of the devices.
Sales in Western and Southern Europe reached SEK 72.9 million (78.6), a decrease of 7.3 percent. Overall, sales were once again satisfying this quarter given that this is the market decreasing most sharply. Our latest smartphone was launched at the biggest operator with good volume and re-order. The 4G products, especially the clamshell devices, are continuing to increase in feature phone volumes, but we also continued delivering good volume of 2G. We are however actively preparing the phasing out of 2G products in the region, even towards retailers, as the announcement from all the region's operators will obviously impact retail sales as well. Sales in Belgium resumed their regular level this quarter after some time of uncertainty, with a different product mix which is much more favourable for our margin.
Sales in Central and Eastern Europe amounted to SEK 32.9 million (44.0), a decrease of 25.2 percent. The drop in sales compared to last year is mainly explained by a turbulent start for our biggest customer in Germany facing temporary financial challenges. Situation was restored later on with better level of orders during the following months, but the initial hick-up affected the overall sales in the region and also left a dent in the overall Doro sales result. The distribution channel had a good quarter while ecommerce went down somewhat versus previous year, which is in line with the overall e-commerce trend in the DACH region at the moment.
Sales in UK and Ireland amounted to SEK 41.1 million (32.5), an increase of 26.5 percent. There was good momentum in the region, being the only region where the market for elderly phones grew during the quarter. The transition from 2G to 4G at our biggest retail customer was flawlessly executed by our sales and product teams, thus generating high volume for the category during the quarter. Non-direct retails came back quite strong and online sales continued to grow compared to same quarter last year. Some new customers also came on board in Ireland, listing a wide spread of our products. In addition,
we continued to develop our own website during the quarter, with increased range and delivery options, while increasing our investment in online marketing.

Order backlog at the end of the second quarter was SEK 104.5 million, an increase of 20.9 percent compared to the same quarter last year. This is somewhat of a change in the trend as order backlog has been rather low in the past quarters, with customers being cautious in their re-ordering.
The gross margin during the second quarter was 40.3 percent compared to 35.6 percent last year. A large part of this improvement came from the margin on purchased products. Thanks to the US dollar being more stable compared to the Swedish Krona than previous periods, as well as to the fact that our Purchasing Department managed to negotiate better prices, we saw a higher value portfolio which, as a whole, improved our margin on products by five percentage points.
In addition, freight costs were lower this quarter than same quarter last year. Likewise, transport by air – by far the most expensive – remained at a low level during the quarter. The stock depreciation also contributed positively to the margin compared to same quarter previous year and warranty costs remained stable.
EBIT amounted to SEK 1.0 million (5.3) during the second quarter, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 0.5 percent (2.7). The lower EBIT is explained by the gross margin continuously being invested in building for the future, both within product management and development, and sales and marketing. Our R&D team is working on creating our one-platform strategy and, together with the product team, exploring new grounds. These development costs increase our operating expenses for now, as they occur in the early stages of the product development process and thus cannot be capitalized.

Doro's share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap, in the segment Telecom/IT. On 30 June 2023, the number of issued shares was 24.532.500, of which Doro AB holds 206.286 Doro shares. Total equity amounted to SEK 494.8 million (441.3).
On 30 June 2023, Doro had 113 (113) employees, corresponding to 105 (107) full-time equivalents. Of these employees, 60 (57) were based in the Nordic region, 22 (24) in Central and Eastern Europe, 12 (13) in Western and Southern Europe and Africa, 8 (8) in the United Kingdom and Ireland and 11 (11) in the rest of the world.
Currently, the global economic situation and the uncertainty surrounding its evolution still pose a risk, especially in our home market where the weak Swedish krona contributes to high inflation and reduced consumer purchasing power. The technology shift with the upcoming closure of 2G and 3G networks as well as the increased technical requirements in connection with the focus on sustainability is a risk, but can also prove to be an opportunity and our development team works continuously to adapt our products and our technology. Cyber security is also a tangible risk that our IT department counteracts through customized security measures.
Other risks are described on pages 32–33 of the Annual Report 2022.
The parent company's net sales during the second quarter totalled SEK 187.9 million (187.0). Profit after tax amounted to SEK ‑3.2 million (3.5).

Reference is made in the interim report to a number of non-IFRS performance measures that are used to help investors as well as management analyse the company's operations. Described below are the non-IFRS performance measures that are used as a complement to the financial information that is reported in accordance with IFRS.
