Net income: CA$5.97m (up 17% from 1Q 2025). Profit margin: 5.6% (up from 5.1% in 1Q 2025). The increase in margin was driven by higher revenue. Revenue missed analyst estimates by 3.8%.

New Risk • May 06
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.7% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 1.7% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (92% payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.8% net profit margin). Declared Dividend • Apr 26

The dividend has increased by an average of 4.1% per year over the past 10 years and has been stable with no material reductions to payments, indicating a long track record of dividend growth and stability. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 2.1% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 91% over the next 2 years, which is sufficient to bring the dividend into a sustainable range. Declared Dividend • Mar 25

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings. Payout ratio: 92% Dividend yield: 4.7% This is considered a minor risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings growth slows or earnings fall, then there may not be enough earnings to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. However, this risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by cash flows. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (92% payout ratio). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.8% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • Mar 17
