ClearSale Unveils Retail Fraud Prevention Tools in New Product Portfolio ClearSale has announced a new portfolio of fraud prevention tools designed to meet the evolving needs of today's digital retail landscape. The newly launched suite, dubbed "Preventative Intel," introduces three powerful solutions: Instant Decision, Automatic Decision, and Complete Decision. These tools are available now, offering a comprehensive approach to fraud management that helps brands prevent, combat, and protect against fraudulent activities in an increasingly complex market. Developed to protect businesses from advancing fraud risks, ClearSale's new security tools integrate artificial intelligence with the world's largest in-house team to provide three tiers of decision-making, ranging from instant notifications to comprehensive analysis.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 33% per year over the past 5 years. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (10% average weekly change). Earnings have declined by 33% per year over the past 5 years. Reported Earnings • Mar 27

ClearSale Launches Brand Protection to Stop Phishing, Fake Accounts, and Counterfeit Products ClearSale announced the launch of its new Brand Protection platform. Brand Protection by ClearSale uses AI and digital intelligence to continuously scan for and report brand impersonation attacks such as fake social profiles, ads, and websites; counterfeit products; and phishing attacks. Impersonation scams have created losses of more than $6 billion over the past five years, and in early 2022, 15% of all phishing emails impersonated brands, according to Abnormal Security. Because it’s so easy for scammers to create fake accounts on social, email, and marketplace platforms, impersonation is a vast and unending challenge for many high-profile retailers and brands. Brand impersonation attacks that go unchecked can damage a company’s reputation among good customers and drive customer churn. For example, phishing attacks that impersonate brands to steal customers’ credentials can lead to account takeover and CNP fraud against retailers. In ClearSale’s 2022 State of Consumer Attitudes on Ecommerce, Fraud & CX international survey, 83% of online consumers said they would boycott an ecommerce site after a fraud experience there. Such fraud attacks can also result in costly, reputation-damaging fines for noncompliance with data privacy regulations.Brand Protection by ClearSale scans the web and social media using brands’ names, logos, products, and other data to identify impostor websites and URLs, apps, social media profiles and pages, digital ads, marketplace profiles, and fake products. One retailer using the brand protection platform was able to detect more than 2,200 impostor social media profiles and had 99.9% of them taken down within 24 hours. Brand Protection by ClearSale sets itself apart from other brand impersonation solutions with its plug-and-play platform, unlimited user access, personalized in-platform support, and transparent pricing based on digital brand exposure, making it a solution of choice for both security and ecommerce teams.
