New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 16% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (7.2% operating cash flow to total debt). Shares are highly illiquid. Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 93% Cash payout ratio: 286% Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (16% increase in shares outstanding). Anuncio • Feb 27

Ex-date: 27th February 2026 Payment date: 26th March 2026 Dividend yield will be 4.7%, which is higher than the industry average of 2.5%.

EQT and Bain Reportedly Compete for a Major Stake in Whirlpool India Amid Market Shifts Buyout groups EQT AB (publ) (OM:EQT) and Bain Capital (Bain Capital, LP) are in a two horse race for 31% controlling interest in Whirlpool of India Limited (BSE:500238), listed local arm of the US appliances giant, three senior industry executives said. Private equity peers TPG and KKR, as well as potential rival contenders Havells and Reliance Industries, have fallen back, they said. EQT and Bain Capital are conducting detailed due diligence ahead of the deadline for a binding offer, said to be in August. Whirlpool didn’t respond to queries sent to its US and India offices. EQT and Bain declined to comment. US parent Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) has been looking to sell a 31% stake in the India unit, which generates the bulk of its Asia revenue, while retaining 20%. The equity in India is held through Whirlpool Mauritius. ET was the first to report June 20 on the interest of Reliance and Havells in the stake. The India business monetisation exercise is part of a global reorganisation initiated at the end of 2022, when the company, known in the US for the Whirlpool, KitchenAid and Maytag brands, posted a $1.5 billion loss. The company has said it’s keen to raise net cash proceeds of $550 million - $600 million from the 31% stake sale transaction by this calendar year. A formal stake sale process was launched in April by advisor Goldman Sachs. A transaction will also trigger an open offer for an additional 26% stake in the company. As with several deal negotiations, Whirlpool’s punchy valuations have been a deal spoiler for most potential suitors. Another bone of contention is said to be the royalty payout to the parent in future. At the end of January, the stock plunged an exchange-allowed maximum of 20% to a near 10-month low when the company first announced its intent to pare ownership in India. It has rebounded since then. In April alone, the stock soared 33% after the sale process was launched. Anuncio • Jul 22

These two companies are competing with financial sponsors EQT AB (publ) (OM:EQT) and Bain Capital, LP, who have also been shortlisted after the initial round of screening. TPG Capital (TPG Capital, L.P.) is also among those initiating the due diligence, said the people mentioned above. Whirlpool Corporation (NYSE:WHR) is looking to sell 31% stake in Whirlpool of India, which generates 85% of its Asia revenue, while retaining a 20% equity stake in the company. The equity in India is held through Whirlpool Mauritius Ltd. The monetisation exercise is part of a global reorganisation initiated at the end of 2022 when the company, synonymous in the US with its namesake brand as well as KitchenAid and Maytag products, posted a $1.5 billion loss. It has already reshaped its global portfolio pruning operations in key Asian markets and in pockets of Europe. Whirlpool Corp. has also heightened efforts to cut costs and its workforce. The company is simultaneously focusing on selling smaller home appliances like blenders and coffee makers — to overhaul its more than century-old business—as consumers pull back on large purchases. The company said it is keen to raise net cash proceeds of $550 million-$600 million (INR 46,840 million-INR 51,100 million) from the transaction. A formal stake-sale process was launched in April by the company’s advisor Goldman Sachs. The change of control transaction will also trigger an open offer for an additional 26% stake from public shareholders of the company. If fully subscribed to, the incoming investor could end up owning 57% of the company. Public shareholders own 49% of the company. ET in its edition dated April 29 had reported PE funds like Bain, Carlyle, KKR among others were evaluating the opportunity. The high valuations have seen some interest taper, added people in the know. Emails sent to Whirlpool Corp, Reliance Retail and Havells remained unanswered until the publication of this report.

Whirlpool Brand Launches Spin&Load Rack Whirlpool announced launch of Spin&Load Rack, Whirlpool brand brings human innovation and inclusive design to the everyday kitchen with an easy-to-use, 360o spinning lower-level dishwasher rack. Designed in collaboration with United Spinal Association, Spin&Load Rack is a replacement lower rack for a traditional dishwasher and represents a significant advancement in kitchen inclusivity in a way that traditional dishwasher racks do not. As the most inclusive lower-level dishwasher rack design on the market, Spin&Load Rack features an easy- to-use, 360o spinning design to allow easy access to all areas of the lower rack of the dishwasher, reducing the need for individuals to reach or reposition themselves while loading and unloading their dishes. Spin&Load Rack is easy to install and designed to fit all 24" Whirlpool Corporation dishwashers manufactured after 2018, including Amana, JennAir, KitchenAid and Maytag brands. The accessory also features simplified and inclusive packaging, ensuring users can easily open and unbox with one hand with an accessible pull-tab design. Whirlpool Corporation's employee resource group known as AVID (Awareness of Visible and Invisible Disabilities) was involved in the initial development process for Spin&Load Rack, with the initial idea for the innovation stemming from an AVID-hosted challenge asking interns to design a more inclusive product. From there, Whirlpool engineers developed prototypes, which were brought to a consumer research study leveraging members of the United Spinal Association to interact with the prototypes and share feedback, informing how the final design eventually came to life. Whirlpool brand's design team also conducted a full usability study on Spin&Load Rack with individuals from Corewell Health to share feedback on the final design. Declared Dividend • May 08

Whirlpool Corporation and Bora Initiate Revolutionary Industrial Downdraft Technology to North America Whirlpool Corporation and BORA share the belief that the kitchen is the hub of the home and is a space that should be redesigned through a lens that pushes boundaries while merging technology and function. Founded on the mutual passion to question the ordinary, the two companies are collaborating to bring the best induction downdraft technology exclusively to JennAir and KitchenAid brand induction downdraft cooktops in North America in 2025. With the new product collaboration comes added consumer benefits ranging from aesthetics to functional power. Downdraft technology eliminates the need for a separate overhead ventilation unit — commonly known as a range hood — allowing for limitless design opportunities, without sacrificing performance. Utilizing innovation to create spaces that offer clear, unrestricted sightlines and the opportunity to create a kitchen as unique as the consumers who enjoy them each day is a longstanding priority for the JennAir and KitchenAid brands. In fact, the JennAir brand's history with downdraft technology dates back to 1965 when founder Lou Jenn invented downdraft technology, changing the kitchen forever. Since then, JennAir has continued to push the luxury appliance industry forward with appliances that break the mold through differentiated aesthetics, disruptive technology and quiet performance. Similarly, KitchenAid exists to help the world make more of the kitchen by creating a space of inspiration and connection. The KitchenAid brand remains committed to delivering major appliances that continue to expand capabilities as makers progress in their cooking skills. Upcoming Dividend • Feb 22

Whirlpool Corporation to Feature Slimtech Insulation Technology At Ces 2024 Whirlpool Corporation will feature SlimTech insulation, the first vacuum insulated structure (VIS) technology in a refrigerator in the North American market, at CES 2024. SlimTech insulation represents a significant step forward, unlocking increased capacity, better performance and future design evolutions, while paving the way for increased sustainability options when it is time to replace the appliance. SlimTech Insulation Technology starts with a proprietary, highly porous powder blend. That powder is vacuum-sealed within the door or sides of the refrigerator itself, removing the need for bulky polyurethane foam insulation and reducing the wall thickness by up to 66% - allowing for up to 25% more capacity inside the refrigerator. This technology will make its debut later this year on the doors of select JennAir luxury 30 in. SlimTech Insulation Column refrigerators, and will roll out more broadly in KitchenAid refrigerators in the future, utilizing the technology for the entire structure. In addition to design and capacity benefits, the material used in SlimTech insulation technology has the potential to be recycled, reducing the overall environmental impact of refrigerators. This would mark a significant advancement in the sustainability of refrigerators as the polyurethane foam used in many of today's refrigerators creates a significant barrier to making these appliances recyclable. Whirlpool Corporation is working to map out a path to reclaiming the material used in SlimTech insulated at a refrigerator's end of use, paving the way for a more circular future. Additional consumer benefits that SlimTech insulation technology can unlock include: The proprietary material used in SlimTech insulation can reduce the wall thickness by up to66% - allowing for up to25% more capacity inside the refrigerator; Increasing the thickness of SlimTech insulation walls can reduce thermal conductivity, allowing a refrigerator to be up to 50% more energy efficient; SlimTech insulation can keep food fresh for longer by reducing temperature swings from door openings by cooling up to 30% faster; SlimTech insulation technology will enable more interior customization via metal interiors with cleaner lengths that eliminate the need for the molded plastic interiors common in today's refrigerators. Fewer compressor cycles are needed to maintain cool temperatures, meaning refrigerators with SlimTech™? insulation deliver even quieter refrigeration. CES attendees can experience SlimTech™? insulation technology first-hand at the Whirlpool Corporation suite, located in the Venetian Expo (Bellini #2102) from January 9-12. Anuncio • Nov 14
