Decile Expands Ai Analyst Capabilities to Include Instant Audience Generation Decile, an AI-powered ecommerce analytics platform, announced the expansion of its AI analyst, Luma by Decile, introducing instant audience generation. The release launches the ability to create audience segments directly from Luma conversations, allowing ecommerce teams to turn natural language requests into ready-to-use customer segments within seconds. Each segment includes a name, description, size and underlying logic, for immediate campaign activation. With the new capability, users can ask Luma to define a customer group, such as recent purchasers or high-LTV customers, and receive a ready-to-use audience immediately. Luma generates a structured segment card within the chat interface, complete with a suggested name, description, audience size and the underlying logic. Users can choose whether the audience is static, or auto-refreshed for dynamic segments. Ecommerce teams can then review the segment, make edits if needed, and choose to save or dismiss it on the spot. Once saved, the new audience appears immediately in the user's audience library. It can be sent to marketing and advertising platforms directly from Decile for one-click activation. In addition to automatic generation, Luma gives operators full control to refine segments before saving: Edit audience names and descriptions directly within the chat; See character limits and inline validation in real time; Reset edits back to Luma's original suggestions with a single click. This balance of automation and control ensures teams can move quickly without sacrificing precision or governance. Building audiences has often required coordination across analytics, engineering, and marketing teams, along with manual queries and delays between insight and action. Luma by Decile removes that friction by generating segments from the same data model used for analysis, maintaining consistency from discovery through execution. The result is a faster, more intuitive workflow where ecommerce teams can: Identify marketing opportunities; Instantly build target audiences; Activate campaigns without delay. This launch represents a significant step forward in Decile's vision for Luma as a true AI analyst that doesn't just answer questions, but enables business outcomes. As brands face increasing pressure to act on data in real time, the ability to move seamlessly from analysis to execution is becoming a competitive necessity. With instant audience generation, Luma seamlessly connects powerful CDP capabilities with advanced analytics and pulls it all together into a single, unified experience. Declared Dividend • May 11

New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: US$359k This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 12% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (US$359k sold). Recent Insider Transactions • Nov 15

New Risk • Feb 26
New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 24% 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 Earnings have declined by 12% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Large one-off items impacting financial results. Reported Earnings • Feb 25
