Market leader in the UK through the acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect
Successful launch of five new senior mobile phones
Services income increased by 16.8%
Unchanged forecast for the full year 2019
The transformation to a services based technology enabled care company continues at a fast pace. With Doro's strategic acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect in September, the services business now accounts for 20 percent of Doro's sales on a full-year basis. Doro is now the market leader in telecare in three markets: Sweden, Norway and Europe's largest market the United Kingdom. This is in line with our strategy and our objective that the services business should account for at least 30 percent of sales.
In the Services category, Norway continues to develop strongly and now accounts for a large part of the group's organic growth. However, the strong growth has driven increased costs to cope with implementation and alarm receiving for the new connections, which decreased the margin. In other markets, we have not achieved the growth we wanted but we have seen a positive trend in Sweden where we won a number of new contracts during the quarter. Strengthening our services offering and our market position remains a priority. We have therefore appointed a new manager for Sweden with extensive experience from sales and marketing in health and social care.
In the Products category, sales are in line with the third quarter last year. In order to best meet the needs and wishes of seniors, in September we launched five new mobile phones: a new flagship smartphone, Doro 8080, and four new feature phones. Seniors value both design and performance that take into account their needs and nobody, regardless of age, should have to limit their lives because of technology. We have received positive feedback from our customers, both retailers and operators, on our new products and sales have so far been successful. As we have mentioned previously, sales in Products are burdened by the UK's certificate problems, which significantly affected developments in the UK market during the quarter. The problems are now resolved, but unfortunately we see that they will still slow down sales into part of the fourth quarter. Apart from the United Kingdom, during the period we increased our market share in senior mobile phones in all major markets.
During the quarter, a new brand platform has been launched that better reflects the Doro of today. We are now building a strong organisation and culture that reinforces innovative thinking and commitment to making life better for our elderly. I look forward to our continued journey together to make Doro a appreciated company and brand that generates value at all stages.



Net sales increased by 2.5%
Continued doubledigit growth in North America
Operating profit increased to SEK 33.8 million
Operating margin was 6.5%, on par with last year
Doro's net sales for the third quarter were SEK 521.4 million (508.5), an increase of 2.5 percent compared with the third quarter of 2018. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 0.3 percent.
New orders during the third quarter increased by 2.2 percent to SEK 589.1 million (576.2). At the end of the quarter, the value of the order book was SEK 517.6 million (410.0).
Sales in the Products category decreased by 0.2 percent, while sales in the Services category increased by 16.8 percent compared with the third quarter of 2018. Organic sales growth in Services was 11.1 percent.
In Central and Eastern Europe, sales increased by 7.8 percent and in the Nordics, sales increased by 5.7 percent. In the Western and Southern Europe and Africa region, sales decreased by 2.5 percent. Sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland decreased by 20.2 percent compared with the third quarter of 2018. Sales in North America increased by 35.8 percent.
The gross margin decreased somewhat compared with the third quarter of 2018 and totalled 31.1 percent (31.5).
EBITDA for the third quarter increased by 5.5 percent to SEK 57.3 million (54.3), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 11.0 percent (10.7). The increase in EBITDA is mainly explained by the new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leasing being applied from 1 January 2019, which increased EBITDA in the quarter by SEK 4.7 m.
EBITA decreased to SEK 36.6 million (37.1). Planned depreciation of intangible assets from company acquisition was SEK -2.8 million (-3.9) during the quarter, which resulted in an operating profit (EBIT) of SEK 33.8 million (33.3) and an EBIT margin of 6.5 percent (6.5). The costs of the acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect had an effect on the financial results of SEK 2.7 million.
Net financial items for the third quarter totalled SEK -1.8 million (-0.1), including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currency.
Group tax for the quarter was SEK -9.0 million (-6.7).
Profit after tax for the period was SEK 23.0 million (26.5).



Cash flow from operating activities during the third quarter was SEK 73.0 million (57.1). The increase was mainly due to a positive change in working capital compared to the corresponding period last year. Free cash flow, after investments but before operating acquisitions, amounted to SEK 40.8 million (31.4). Investments during the period amounted to SEK 32.2 million (25.7).
Cash and cash equivalents totalled SEK 167.9 million at the end of the third quarter (98.8). On the same date, the equity ratio was 44.4 percent (46.7).
Net debt amounted to SEK 142.4 million at the end of the third quarter, compared with SEK 154.6 million at the end of the previous quarter and SEK 141.2 million at the end of the third quarter of 2018. Compared with the third quarter of 2018, net liabilities are affected by Doro applying IFRS 16 Leasing with effect from 1 January 2019. This means that an additional financial leasing liability of SEK 70.3 million was reported compared with the previous year.
In September, Doro acquired the British telecare company Centra Pulse and Connect. Together with existing operations, Doro manages close to 200,000 connected security alarms in the United Kingdom. The acquisition has been consolidated as of September and is expected to have a negligible effect on earnings per share for 2019 including transaction costs.
No significant events have occurred after the end of the quarter.

Sales in the Nordics increased by 5.7 percent compared with the third quarter of 2018. The Nordic mobile phone market remains weak, but Doro is defending its market share. The launch of the flagship smartphone Doro 8080 has been successful and gave a strong increase in the sales of smartphones. In the services area, new agreements and more connections, in particular in Norway, contributed to good organic growth.
In the Western and Southern Europe and Africa region, sales decreased by 2.5 percent. Despite the decline, Doro is taking market shares, particularly at the retail. The market position for feature phones in the senior segment remains very strong.
Sales during the third quarter increased by 7.8 percent. The increase is mainly within retail in a market that remains challenging. Doro's new products have been well received and give reason to be optimistic about the fourth quarter.
Sales during the third quarter decreased by 20.2 percent. The decrease is mainly explained by earlier certificate problems, which impacted sales to one of the key customers. In services, sales increased, partly due to the acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect, which has been consolidated as of the first of September this year.
Strong demand for Doro 7050, a smart 4G feature phone, meant that sales increased by 35.8 percent in the quarter. Continued deliveries to the company's new customer in the region contributed to growth.
Net sales in the rest of the world amounted to SEK 2.9 million (1.1).
During the third quarter, income and income adjustments that were not connected to any specific region totalled SEK -0.7 million (-2.2).

Sales of products decreased by 0.2 percent compared with the third quarter of 2018. The challenges in the United Kingdom as a result of certificate problems, primarily in the second quarter, also affected sales in the third quarter. This is to some extent offset by increased sales in Products in Central and Eastern Europe, the Nordic region and North America. With the launch of five new products at the IFA trade fair in Berlin in September, Doro further strengthening its range. The introduction has been successful and the new products have already contributed to sales in this quarter. Gross margin increased to 28.6 percent (28.4). Doro's gross margin has been negatively impacted by USD strengthening against EUR and GBP and also as a result of high logistical costs during the quarter.
Sales of services increased by 16.8 percent, partly due to organic growth and partly due to the acquisition of Centra Pulse and Connect, which was completed during the quarter. The new company is part of the group with effect from 1 September 2019. Organic growth in the quarter amounted to 11.1 percent. Norway continues to develop very strongly and accounts for a large part of organic growth, through both new connections and a broader service offering to new customers. Sweden also shows a positive trend with a number of new contracts won in the quarter. The number of subscriptions amounted to 304,000 (199,000). Gross margin decreased to 42.4 percent (47.3). This year's strong growth in Norway has driven increased personnel costs, in particular linked to overtime pay and temporary resources, which negatively impacted the margin.

Doro's share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap, in the segment Telecom/IT. On 30 September 2019, the number of issued shares was 24,204,568 of which Doro AB holds 439,030 Doro shares. Total equity amounted to SEK 760.9 million (665.9).
During the period there were no transactions between Doro and related parties that had any significant effect on the company's position and financial results.
On 30 September 2019, Doro had 980 (670) employees, corresponding to 700 (544) full-time equivalents. Of these, 369 (360) are based in the Nordic region, 49 (55) in Central and Eastern Europe, 25 (25) in Western and Southern Europe and Africa, 528 (221) in the United Kingdom and Ireland and 9 (9) in the rest of the world.
Risks and uncertainty factors are primarily related to the challenge of continuously developing competitive products, disturbances to deliveries, customer relations, exchange rate fluctuations, loan financing and the public procurement process. Other than these risks, which are described in more detail on pages 34 and 35 of the annual report, no other significant risks have been identified during the period.
The parent company's net sales during the third quarter amounted to SEK 386.2 million (384.6). Profit after tax was SEK 16.0 million (-7.5).
This interim report has been created for the group in accordance with IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" and for the parent company in accordance with Annual Reports Act and the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 2, "Accounting for legal entities". The accounting principles and calculation methods used correspond with those that were used to create the latest annual report, except that the group applies IFRS 16 Leasing with effect from 1 January 2019, see note 1.
Doro's sales in the Products category are affected by seasonal variations. Normally, sales are lowest during the first quarter. Sales during the second and third quarters are normally higher than in the first quarter. Sales are normally strongest during the fourth quarter.
The overall market for mobile phones is expected to remain challenging. Doro has maintained and is expected to maintain or increase its market share in the senior segment. Services is growing organically and we are active in multiple acquisition discussions and we expect continued double-digit growth for Services in 2019. The profitability is expected to remain at a healthy level.

The group leases office premises, vehicles, furniture and office equipment. Leasing contracts are normally written for fixed periods, but there may be opportunities for extension. The terms are negotiated separately for each agreement and contain a large number of contractual conditions. The leasing agreements are reported as rights of use and an equivalent liability on the date on which the leased asset is available for use by the group. Each leasing payment is divided between amortisation of the liability and the financial cost. The financial cost shall be distributed over the term of the lease so that each accounting period is charged with an amount

corresponding to a fixed interest rate for the liability recognised in each period. The right of use is depreciated on a straight line basis over the shorter of the asset's useful life and the duration of the leasing contract. Assets and liabilities arising from leasing contracts are initially reported at present value. Leasing payments are discounted by the implied interest rate of the lease if this interest rate can be easily determined, otherwise the company's marginal borrowing rate is used. Payments for short-term contracts and leasing contracts of lesser value are expensed on a straight line basis in the income statement. Short-term contracts are contracts with a leasing period of 12 months or less.

On 2 September 2019, Doro acquired all shares in the British telecare company Centra Pulse and Connect. Acquisition expenses had a negative effect on annual profit of SEK 2.7 million. The purchase price was paid in cash, SEK 35.9 m, of which SEK 16.4 million was related to payment of liability to the previous owner. Goodwill is linked to the strengthened position in the Care area in the United Kingdom, which Centra Pulse and Connect's sales channels provide. At the time of acquisition, the company had about 266 employees. Centra Pulse and Connect had annual sales in 2018 of GBP 6.3 million.

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 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. |
||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Restructuring costs | Costs of impairment and personnel costs in connection with restructuring. |
|||
| 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. |
| Calculation of financial result measurements that are not found in the IFRS rules |

We have reviewed the condensed interim financial information (interim report) of DORO AB as of 30 September 2019 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.
