Unchanged outlook for full-year 2019

Message from the CEO

Net sales during the period amounted to SEK 466.2 million (419.6), an increase of 11.1%, thanks to positive development in both Products and Services. The operating margin for the quarter was 4.5 percent (5.9).

During the first quarter we have continued to develop the service business, which now accounts for more than 18% of our total sales. The new organisation that was launched last year, which now targets private and public customers, is having positive effects. Business in the public sector is based on winning public procurements, something we are now addressing with a better structure and offer.

Organic growth for Services is 10.4 percent for the quarter, with the increase in sales in Norway prominent. Our subsidiary Welbeing, which we acquired in June 2018, continues to drive sales growth in the United Kingdom. During the period we have appointed a new country manager with extensive industry experience, which we hope will give even better results on the contract side. We continue to promote technology enabled care services for private individuals, such as Response by Doro. During the quarter the service was launched with one of Scandinavia's largest electronic retail chains, Elkjöp/Elgiganten.

The development of our Products business category has been positive compared to the same period last year, despite a continued weak general market for mobile phones and consumer electronics. This is a sign that we have a strong brand that stands up in competition. It is primarily in feature phones that we have taken up a position and in total product sales grew by 3.8 percent during the period.

Our sales development in the USA continues to show good growth figures, as in recent quarters. Our feature phone adapted for 4G, 7050, is a product that shows good traction also after its launch period. At the same time, challenges continue in Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in Germany. The German market had had a negative development for eleven consecutive quarters which has pushed forward structural changes at one of the largest electronics chains, affecting the quarter negatively.

The quarter's sales increase and results show that we have the ability to generate a solid cash flow despite the fact that we are going through a transition phase to become a more service-based company. We are now continuing to optimise operations and we are further reviewing our organisation in order to adapt to prevailing market conditions.

More acquisitions in technology enabled care services are also on the agenda, and we are constantly evaluating companies that could match for our strategy. My assessment is that we have both the knowledge and the ability to drive consolidation on the European market. The acquisition of Welbeing almost a year ago is one such example. Now we would like to see more.

Robert Puskaric, President and CEO

Double-digit sales growth in the United Kingdom and North America

Gross margin decreased to 31.1% and operating margin to 4.5%

Group financial summary, First quarter 2019

Sales

Doro's net sales for the first quarter were SEK 466.2 million (419.6), an increase of 11.1 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018. Adjusted for currency effects, the increase was 5.7 percent.

Order intake in the first quarter increased by 21.7 percent, to SEK 486.0 (399.2). At the end of the quarter, the value of the order book was SEK 416.0 million (294.6).

Sales in the Products category increased by 3.8 percent, while sales in the Services category increased by 62.2 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018.

Sales increased by 3.5 percent in the Western and Southern Europe and Africa region. Sales in the Nordic countries remained largely unchanged compared with the first quarter of 2018. In Central and Eastern Europe, sales decreased by 13.5 percent. Sales in the United Kingdom and Ireland increased by 72.4 percent including the acquisition of Welbeing, while sales in North America increased by 63.8 percent.

Financial results

The gross margin decreased compared to the first quarter of 2018 and amounted to 31.1 percent (33.8). The weakening against the previous year is mainly explained by the strengthening of the USD against EUR and GBP.

EBITDA for the first quarter increased by 13.2 percent to SEK 43.6 million (38.5), which corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 9.4 percent (9.2). The increase in EBITDA was mainly due to the new accounting standard IFRS 16 Leasing being applied from 1 January 2019, which increased EBITDA in the quarter by SEK 4.2 million.

EBITA decreased to SEK 24.0 million (26.0). Planned depreciation of intangible assets from company acquisition was SEK -2.8 million (-1.1) during the quarter, which resulted in an operating profit (EBIT) of SEK 21.2 million (24.9) and an EBIT margin of 4.5 percent (5.9).

Net financial items for the first quarter totalled SEK -0.9 million (0.2), including revaluation of financial instruments in foreign currency.

Group tax for the quarter was SEK -4.9 million (-6.5).

Profit after tax for the period was SEK 15.4 million (18.6).

Cash flow from operating activities, SEK million

Cash flow, investments and financial position

Cash flow from operating activities during the first quarter was SEK 40.8 million (54.5). The decrease was mainly due to a lower working capital improvement than in the corresponding period last year. Free cash flow, after investments but before operating acquisitions, amounted to SEK 19.2 million (32.2). Investments during the period amounted to SEK 21.6 (22.3) million.

Cash and cash equivalents totalled SEK 150.8 million at the end of the first quarter (28.9). At the same time, the equity ratio was 46.1 percent (54.8).

Net debt amounted to SEK 156.7 million at the end of the first quarter, compared with SEK 105.8 million at the end of the previous quarter and SEK 81.1 million at the end of the first quarter of 2018. The increase in net debt was due to Doro applying IFRS 16 Leasing with effect from 1 January 2019, which meant that an additional financial leasing liability of SEK 67.6 million was reported compared with the previous year.

Significant events during the period

With effect from 1 January 2019, Doro applies the financial reporting standard IFRS 16 Leasing, which affects the reporting of EBITDA and the value of tangible fixed assets and liabilities. For further information, refer to the section on accounting principles and note 1.

Jörgen Alsing, vice president and member of group management with responsibility for SmartCare & Services, left the company during the first quarter.

Significant events after the period

Doro published its annual report for 2018 on 5 April 2019.

Nordics

Sales in the Nordic region decreased by 0.5 percent compared with the first quarter of 2018. The Nordic mobile phone market remains weak, but Doro is defending its market share. During the first quarter, the technology enabled care service Response by Doro was launched in all Elgiganten/Elkjöp retail outlets in Sweden and Norway. In the services area, Doro maintained its strong market position in both Sweden and Norway.

Western and Southern Europe and Africa

In Western and Southern Europe and Africa, sales increased by 3.5 percent, with sales of feature phones on the French market developing especially positively. Sales in Italy and Spain remained stable compared to the previous year.

Central and Eastern Europe

Sales in the first quarter decreased by 13.5 percent. The weak development is mainly explained by the decline in sales at our most important customers in the German retail sector. Restructuring of customers' businesses as a result of the weak market has contributed to the weak quarter.

United Kingdom and Ireland

Sales during the first quarter increased by 72.4 percent, thanks to the acquisition of Welbeing in the second quarter of 2018. The UK market remained fragmented, but we could see that price pressure increased somewhat in procurements. Doro's sales of both mobile phones and alarm devices also showed good growth figures in the first quarter of 2019.

North America

Sales increased by 63.8 percent thanks to continuing strong demand, including after the launch of our smart 4G feature phone, Doro 7050.

Rest of the world

Net sales in the rest of the world amounted to SEK 0.4 million (2.1).

Other

During the first quarter, income and income adjustments that were not connected to any specific region totalled SEK -6.3 million (-6.0).

Products

Sales of products increased by 3.8 percent compared to the first quarter of 2018. Weak development in Central and Eastern Europe was offset by growth in the UK and Ireland and North America respectively. Our assessment is that Doro is maintaining or increasing its market share in a market that continues to be weak, especially for feature phones. The gross margin fell to 27.4 percent (32.2) mainly due to the strengthening of the USD against EUR and GBP, but also as a result of a changed product and market mix.

Services

Sales of services increased by 62.2 percent, partly due to organic growth in Sweden and Norway, but mainly due to the acquisition of Welbeing in the second quarter of 2018. In the public procurement that was carried out, there was a greater demand for broader technology enabled care solutions, including, for example, automatic locks and remote supervision. The number of subscriptions amounted to 203,000 (126,000). The gross margin increased to 47.8 percent (44.5). The increased margin was primarily the result of a changed market mix with the acquisition of Welbeing.

Equity and the Doro share

Doro's share is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm, Small Cap, in the segment Telecom/IT. On 31 March 2019 the number of issued shares was 24,204,568, of which Doro AB holds 439,030 Doro shares. Total equity amounted to SEK 718.1 million (601.7).

Related party transactions

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.

Personnel

On 31 March 2019, Doro had 688 (431) employees, corresponding to 566 (360) full-time equivalents. Of these, 354 (319) are based in the Nordic region, 52 (59) in Central and Eastern Europe, 25 (28) in Western and Southern Europe and Africa, 248 (16) in the United Kingdom and Ireland and 9 (9) in the rest of the world.

Risks

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.

Parent company

The parent company's net sales during the first quarter totalled SEK 360.6 million (332.7). Profit after tax was SEK 3.1 million (15.6).

Accounting principles

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.

Seasonal variations

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.

Outlook

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 are growing organically and we are actively working on different acquisition opportunities, for which reason we expect continued doubledigit percentage growth in services in 2019. Profitability is expected to remain at a healthy level.

Notes

Note 1 – IFRS 16 Leasing

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.

Use of non-IFRS results measurement

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.

Description of financial result measurements that are not found in the IFRS rules

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.
