CEO comment

Fundamentals have improved since we issued a profit warning and lowered our full-year outlook in early July, though we show a modest growth rate this quarter. As sales since end of last year have been negatively affected by the situation in Doro Care, it is satisfying to see that our phone business continues to perform. This quarter we saw particularly good sales in the DACH region and in our feature phone offering. We continue developing and harvesting the senior phone market, a niche that has been resilient when the mobile device market globally has been under pressure during the year.

The production and logistics issues hampering our higher-end feature phones and smart phones have been solved during the quarter. Our simple 4G mobile Doro 8030, a follow up to our more advanced 4G mobile Doro 825, is now getting further listings after the initial hardware supply delays we experienced in the second quarter. The delayed launch of Doro 8030 has negatively affected our smartphone sales in the quarter, which by the end of the third quarter represented 18.5 percent of our total mobile sales (down from 21 percent by the end of the second quarter). The IFA fair in Berlin generated many interesting new contracts and projects.

Doro Care has not met our expectations this year and as explained previously the standstill due to the appealed framework agreement with SKL (Sveriges Kommuner och Landsting) continued to affect the third quarter. However, since mid-October, the situation has improved as the judgment by the Administrative Court (Förvaltningsrätten) was in our favour. As one of three approved suppliers Doro Care has now signed a new contract with the procurement office of SKL (SKI Kommentus Inköpscentral AB).

We now expect sales for social alarm devices and services to start materializing during the fourth quarter and mainly during 2017. Our own estimate is that, in a normal market environment, the overall market for digital care phone subscriptions in Sweden during the stand-still period would have been in the range of 20,000 – 30,000. In the period January-September 2015 Doro Care added 20,000 subscribers, while during the same period this year, the number of new subscribers was 5,000. Forward looking 12 months recurring revenues by the end of the third quarter reached SEK 132m, which can be compared to SEK 71m reported at year-end 2015 (SEK 89m excluding Trygghetssentralen).

In the past quarter we decided to integrate Doro Care under the Doro Group management and we are already seeing that it is working better.

We continue to address profitability. Rationalizations in our product portfolio have had a negative impact of SEK 6.5m on EBIT in the quarter due to accelerated depreciation mainly. Organizational changes have resulted in restructuring costs in the third quarter of SEK 4.3m. Better sales mix, improved production efficiency and incorporation of Trygghetssentralen have contributed to the improved gross margin compared to last quarter and last year, however operating costs have increased and need close monitoring and further actions going forward.

We are now in the important fourth quarter, Christmas sales have a significant effect on our full-year sales and profitability. The situation has started to brighten, but most improvements have impact on a longer term, therefore 2016 will be a lost year for Doro Care in terms of profitability. We reiterate our amended full-year outlook that we presented in July. We expect profit for the group to be somewhat below 2015 while sales can still be expected to be higher than previous year.

Financial overview group, third quarter 2016

Sales

Doro's net sales in the third quarter amounted to SEK 473.2m (444.9), an increase of 6.4 percent compared to the third quarter 2015, or an increase of 2.8 percent excluding Trygghetssentralen. Currency adjusted growth for the third quarter amounted to 7.5 percent including Trygghetssentralen.

The many challenges that Doro struggled with in the second quarter have now been solved. Shipments of high-end feature phones and smartphones are back on track. The roll-out of the new 4G smartphone Doro 8030 that was expected for the second quarter was mainly realized in the third quarter. Sales are though still suffering from the delisting with a major customer in the second quarter. No new major contracts are compensating.

Particularly strong sales in the quarter are noted in our region DACH, sales have increased by 26.2% and the region's share of total sales is growing. Sales in USA and Canada on the other hand have slowed down significantly compared to the beginning of the year and UK due lower conversion rate of £ to Swedish currency after Brexit announcement.

Sales in Doro Care are gradually coming back. Although there was a significant standstill in new contracts while the new framework agreement was under appeal, existing customers continued ordering. By the end of the third quarter, the number of subscribers within Doro Care reached nearly 113,000 (85,000 excluding Trygghetssentralen). Recurring revenues by the end of the third quarter reached SEK 132.3m, which can be compared to SEK 71m reported at year-end 2015 (SEK 89m excluding Trygghetssentralen).

Order intake during the third quarter decreased by 3.3 percent to SEK 547.8 m (566.3), mainly due to lower order activity in USA and Canada.

Result

The gross margin for the quarter improved to 39.3 percent (36.6), due to better mix of regional sales as well as incorporation of Trygghetssentralen. Higher operating costs are mainly attributable to higher expenses in general as well as adding Trygghetssentralen to the group. EBITDA for the third quarter decreased compared to last year, to SEK 32.9m (39.4), corresponding to an EBITDA-margin of 7.0 percent (8.9).

EBITA for the third quarter decreased to SEK 15.9m (32.1). Depreciation has increased due to increased investments and review of certain products' lifecycles.

Depreciation according to plan of intangible assets related to company acquisitions amounted to SEK -2.0m (-2.4) in the third quarter, resulting in an EBIT of SEK 13.9m (29.7), which corresponds to an EBIT-margin of 2.9 percent (6.7). The temporarily lower share of new Doro Care contracts had a significant impact on EBIT just as in previous quarters in 2016. Restructuring costs in the quarter amounted to SEK 4.3m.

Net financial items in the third quarter were SEK -0.1m (-0.8), including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currencies.

Group tax in the quarter amounted to SEK -1.2m (-6.9).

Profit after tax or the period amounted to SEK 12.6m (22.0).

Cash flow, investments and financial position

Cash flow from current activities in the third quarter was SEK 36.5m (32.9).

Cash and cash equivalents at the end of the third quarter amounted to SEK 22.9m (42.6).

The equity/asset ratio was 42.5 percent (39.7) at the end of the period.

Net debt was SEK 178.6m, compared to SEK 198.8m at the end of the second quarter.

Significant events during the period

New organization and CEO in Doro Care, announced September 8 After evaluating how to build the Doro Care business further and realize additional synergies, the conclusion was that Doro Care would benefit from an even more intense co-operation with the rest of the Doro group. As Group CEO Jérôme Arnaud therefore assumed the position as CEO of Doro Care and Trygghetssentralen.

The administrative court issued its judgement on the appeal regarding a new framework agreement with SKL, announced September 30 A new framework agreement with the procurement office of the Swedish municipalities (SKL) had been appealed by a competitor. The administrative court (Förvaltningsrätten) rejected the appeal.

Significant events after the period

Changes in Group Management

Further changes has been made to the Group Management Team. Caroline Noublanche, Vice President Portfolio & Marketing, is leaving the company. As mentioned in our interim report for the second quarter 2016, Henric Ungh has been recruited as new Vice President Sales & Marketing with effect November 1.

Doro Care has signed a new framework agreement with SKL

Doro Care was by the end of 2015 chosen as one of three parties that SKL Kommentus Inköpscentral AB (SKI) would sign a new framework agreement with, regarding social alarm devices and services. The procurement process was appealed and the new framework agreement could never come into effect. The Administrative court (Förvaltningsrätten) has now delivered their judgement. The appeal was rejected. SKI has thereby been able to proceed and on October 17 signed the new framework agreement with Doro Care and two other suppliers.

New Chairman of the Board

Doro's Chairman Magnus Mandersson resigned due to time constraints as of October 17. Johan Andsjö was appointed acting Chairman and Henri Österlund was appointed acting Vice-Chairman.

The Nordic region

Sales in the Nordic region increased by 10.1 percent in the third quarter. Excluding Trygghetssentralen sales have decreased by 3.0 percent. Sales in Doro Care are still lower than in the same period 2015, but as a new framework agreement now is in place and municipalities have started to place new orders, we anticipate that sales will improve from current levels. Device sales continue to be strong in both consumer and B2B channels, although we are suffering from customers keeping low stocks.

DACH (Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Central Europe)

Sales in the DACH region havebeen strong, up 26.2 percent during the third quarter. Feature phones have sold well with both retailers and operators. The 4G smartphone Doro 8030 was launched in a promising joint offer with Telekom Deutschland. In Switzerland, sales have been especially strong due to new listings and a better product mix. The launch of Doro in Croatia has been well received but volumes are still limited.

EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa)

Most significant in the past quarter was a large order from Algeria Telecom in July. Sales in the EMEA region increased by 5.3 percent in the third quarter. Sales of feature phones in the region are decreasing, nevertheless a successful launch of a new feature phone was made with Orange in France during the quarter. Smartphone sales are stable and were supported by listings with two new operators during the quarter.

United Kingdom

Sales in the region decreased by 11.0 percent in the third quarter. Sales are hampered during the transition from some successful 2G feature phones with 3G feature phones and smartphones with many customers. However, sales of the new products have started well. Currency effects following Brexit has a significant impact on consumer demand and will continue, as local prices are progressively increased.

Notes

Note 1 – Revenue

As from 2016, Net sales and Own work capitalized and Other income are reported separately, as in the Annual report. Previously, these items were reported together.

Note 2 – Sales per region

At the acquisition of Doro Care it was decided to report all sales of the acquired business as Nordic. As from 2016 Doro Care reports sales per region in the same way as the rest of Doro Group. Comparable figures for 2015 have been recalculated in accordance with the 2016 principle.

Note 3 – Aquisitions 2016

Acquisition of Trygghetssentralen AS 2016

On April 15, 2016, DORO AB acquired all shares of Trygghetssentralen AS in Norway. Costs for the acquisition of SEK 1.2m were charged to the operating result. The purchase price was paid in cash of SEK 29.4m, of which SEK 8.8m referred to settlement of Trygghetssentralen's loans from its previous owner. Goodwill is linked to the enhanced position in the Care area in Norway that Trygghetssentralen's sales channel provides, as well as increased expertise in the Care area. On the acquisition date, the headcount was 68 permanent employees and approximately 60 temporary employees. In 2015, Trygghetssentralen had annual sales of NOK 68m.

The preliminary figures for the acquired net assets and goodwill are presented below:

Use of non-IFRS performance measures

Guidelines on Alternative Performance Measures (APMs) for companies with securities listed on a regulated market within the European Union have been issued by ESMA (the European Securities and Markets Authority). These guidelines apply to APMs disclosed when publishing regulated information on or after July 3, 2016. 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.

Description of financial performance measures that are not used in IFRS

Non-IFRS performance measure Description Reason for use of the measure
Restructuring costs Costs for impairment together with personnel costs in
connection with restructuring.
This measure shows the specific costs that have arisen in
connection with restructuring of a specific operation, which
contributes to a better understanding of the underlying
cost level in the continuing operations.
Gross Margin % Net Sales minus Merchandise costs in percentage of Net
Sales.
Gross Margin is an important measure for showing the
margin before Personnel expenses and Other external
expenses.
Sales growth comparable entities
%
Net Sales for the period minus Net Sales for entities
acquired during the year minus Net Sales for the
corresponding period last year in percentage of Net Sales for
the corresponding period last year.

organic growth excluding acquired businesses.
Currency adjusted Sales growth % Net Sales for the period recalculated using last year's
currency exchange rates minus Net Sales for the
corresponding period last year in percentage of Net Sales for
the corresponding period last year.
The measure shows the Sales growth excluding the effect
of changes in currency exchange rates between the
years.
Equity/assets ratio Equity expressed as a percentage of total assets. A traditional measure for showing financial risk,
expressing the amount of restricted equity that is financed
by the owners.

generated on the owners' capital that is invested in the
company.

cash and bank balances.
This measure shows the amount of total capital that is
used in the operations and is thus one component for
measuring the return from operations.
Return on average capital
employed
Operating profit/loss rolling twelve months, divided by the
quarterly average capital employed excluding cash and bank
balances.
This is the central ratio for measuring the return on the
capital tied up in operations.

THIS IS A TRANSLATION FROM THE SWEDISH ORIGINAL

Review report

Doro AB (publ), corporate identity number 556161-9429

To the Board of Directors of Doro AB (publ)

Introduction

We have reviewed the condensed interim report for Doro AB (publ) as at September 30, 2016 and for the nine months period then ended. The Board of Directors and the Managing Director are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim report 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 Financial Statements 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 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 aspects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the Parent Company.
