Director recently sold €4.4m worth of stock On the 4th of June, Ellen Alemany sold around 3k shares on-market at roughly €1,761 per share. This transaction amounted to 15% of their direct individual holding at the time of the trade. In the last 3 months, there was an even bigger sale from another insider worth €8.7m. Insiders have been net sellers, collectively disposing of €13m more than they bought in the last 12 months. New Risk • May 22
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: €8.7m 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Declared Dividend • May 20

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 7.0% a week.

It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 7.9% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.0% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (27% net profit margin).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 2.9% per year for the foreseeable future. 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 expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. 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 are forecast to decline by an average of 2.9% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (28% net profit margin). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (€1.6m sold). Reported Earnings • Jul 29
