New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of German stocks, typically moving 9.0% a week.

Schaeffler Expands its OPTIME Ecosystem Portfolio: Smart FAG OPTIME C4 Lubricator Now Available Schaeffler Group USA Inc. announced that Rolling bearings depend on optimal lubrication to ensure long-term, reliable operation. In practice, however, manual rel lubrication is still part of the daily routine for many maintenance teams, and errors in this process remain one of the leading causes of bearing failures. This is precisely where Schaeffler, the Motion Technology Company, provides solutions with its lubricators. The latest development in the portfolio, the FAG OPTIME C4, is capable of simultaneously supplying several lubrication points while storing a greater quantity of lubricant. For maintenance teams, this opens up broader application possibilities in servicing their machinery fleet. As a multi-point lubricator, the FAG OPTime C4 features four outlets that can be programmed independently of one another. This allows a single lubricator to supply up to four lubrication points individually. As a result, only one device needs to be purchased, configured, and maintained to cover several points. In addition, both the outlet pressure and the fill volume of the lubricant cartridges are significantly higher. The FAG OPTIME C4 delivers an outlet pressure of 70 bar (1,015 psi), allowing lubricant to be transported over longer distances and reaching lubrication points that cannot be fitted with a lubricator nearby. In combination with Schaeffler's OPTIME app (available in the Apple App Store and on Google Play), the FAG OPTIME C 4 ensures that incorrect lubrication can be safely avoided, whether caused by too much or too little lubricant, the wrong lubricant, contamination, clogged lubricant lines, or empty cartridges. Schaeffler's OPTime Ecosystem comprises a range of solutions for condition monitoring and smart lubrication. In late 2021, the portfolio was expanded with the introduction of the OPTIME C1 lubricator, enabling smart lubrication management for the first time. The new FAG OPTIME C4 now adds an even more flexible and powerful option to the lineup. Solutions within the OPTIME Ecosystem are cost-efficient, wireless, app-controlled, scalable, and suitable for a wide variety of drive systems. The FAG OPTIMEC4 will be available to order starting September 25, 2025, in most countries across Europe, North and South America, and the Asia-Pacific region. Annonce • Aug 16

New Risk • Jul 03
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 1.4% 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 Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.4x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 1.4% per year over the past 5 years. Shareholders have been substantially diluted in the past year (42% increase in shares outstanding).
