Doro: Eyeing further recovery for Phones - ABG

Q3e sales and adj. EBIT of SEK 496m and SEK 45m
We raise our ’22-’23 forecasts due to M&A
Doro’s share is trading at 11x 2021e EV/EBIT

Doro’s Q3 report is due 22 October at 08.00 CET. We expect sales of SEK 496m, up 8% y-o-y organically, driven by further recovery in Phone sales and solid Care performance. We forecast Phone sales of SEK 342m (7% organic y-o-y) and Care sales of SEK 154m (+10% organic and 13% M&A). After two quarters with strong gross margins for Phones (~35%), driven by a favourable product mix and FX, we forecast a Q3 figure of 32% amid increased freight costs (freight rates +77% q-o-q, according to Freightos) and less FX tailwinds. Even so, we see Q3e adj. EBIT of 45m for 43% growth y-o-y and a margin of 9.1%. This is also supported by Doro’s costs savings programme.

Doro’s share is up 35% YTD and is currently trading at 11x-9x EV/EBIT on our new ’21-‘23 forecasts. With a ‘21e NIBD/EBITDA of 0.4x, we estimate that Doro still has plenty of M&A firepower, which we argue that the fragmented telecare market should give it ample opportunity to use.
