New Risk • Apr 14
New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 23% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.5x net interest cover). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Large one-off items impacting financial results. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Mar 30

The Consideration is payable in full and in cash on the date of Completion. Following the agreed terms, the Currys board of directors ("Board") believes the proposed Disposal has strong strategic rationale and represents an attractive outcome for the Company's shareholders ("Shareholders"). Following Completion, the Continuing Group intends to pursue its strategy of delivering value for all stakeholders centred around its four strategic priorities: (i) Capable & Committed Colleagues; (ii) Easy to Shop; (iii) Customers for Life; and (iv) Grow Profits.

Reducing indebtedness may also provide, at the appropriate time, the Group with greater flexibility to invest to grow the business, after which Currys will also explore the potential to return any surplus capital to Shareholders. This will initially involve using proceeds to reduce net debt, and then at the appropriate time entering into discussions with the pension trustees regarding the funding for the pension scheme. As on March 5, 2024, Hellenic Competition Commission approved the deal. As on March 8, 2024, the transaction is expected to complete in first half of April.
