New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Operating cash flow to total debt ratio: 18% This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (18% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (101% payout ratio). Market cap is less than US$100m (€58.1m market cap, or US$64.7m). New Risk • Sep 06
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 7.1% a week. This is considered a minor risk. Share price volatility indicates the stock is highly sensitive to market conditions or economic conditions rather than being sensitive to its own business performance, which may also be inconsistent. 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: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (92% payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.1% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (€61.0m market cap, or US$67.6m). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jul 17

Ex-date: 16th May 2024 Payment date: 20th May 2024 Dividend yield will be 4.5%, which is higher than the industry average of 1.4%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (122% earnings payout ratio). However, it is covered by cash flows (73% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 6.5% per year over the past 10 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 36% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS is expected to remain steady over the next 2 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Reported Earnings • Mar 15
