Third quarter dividend of US$0.12 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of US$0.12. Ex-date: 20th March 2024 Payment date: 4th April 2024 Dividend yield will be 2.7%, which is higher than the industry average of 2.5%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (80% earnings payout ratio) but the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 24% per year over the past 4 years and payments have been stable during that time. EPS is expected to grow by 64% over the next year, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. Recent Insider Transactions • Mar 14

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 21% of the size of the rest of the company's trailing 12-month earnings before tax. This is considered a minor risk. One-off items are incomes or expenses that the company does not expect to repeat in future periods. Examples include profits from the sale of a business or expenses from a restructuring or legal settlements. If the company's reported statutory earnings include a large proportion of one-off items it means they may be an unreliable indicator of its true business performance as the earnings were skewed by these incomes or expenses. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.8% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

Newman Ferrara with Congregations of Catholic Sisters File Suit Related to Smith & Wesson’s Marketing and Sale of AR-15 Assault Rifles Newman Ferrara LLP announced that a coalition of four congregations of Catholic Sisters represented by the firm filed a stockholder derivative lawsuit naming officers and directors of Smith & Wesson Brands Inc. (“Smith & Wesson” or the “Company”) for wrongdoing related to the marketing and sale of AR-15-style assault weapons. The suit, filed in the Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, alleges that the defendants breached their fiduciary duty to the Company and its stockholders by knowingly and intentionally violating federal, state, and local laws, thereby exposing the Company to significant liability. In connection with the lawsuit, the congregations of Catholic Sisters released the following joint statement: As Catholic Sisters and women of faith who believe in the sanctity of life, the hearts ache at the exponential rise in gun deaths and mass shootings in the country that have ravaged the lives of so many children, women, men, their families, and communities. AR-15-style rifles, like those manufactured by Smith & Wesson, have been the weapon of choice for killers responsible for the deadliest mass shootings in American history. By design, they inflict the greatest number of casualties with maximum bodily harm in the shortest amount of time and are easily modified for automatic fire. These rifles have no purpose other than mass murder. They are not the sporting rifles that members of the own families and other responsible gun owners value. As Smith & Wesson stockholders – and long-time proponents of corporate responsibility in the environmental, social and governance policies of companies in which Newman Ferrara invest – Newman Ferrara have sponsored resolutions that provide shareholders with an understanding of the company’s practices and exposure to risk and liability regarding the manufacture of AR-15 rifles. The most recent is a resolution calling for a third-party Human Rights Impact Assessment of the company’s practices in light of the significant and costly human rights risks the company faces. While the board recommended voting against the proposal at the September 2023 shareholder meeting, 26.7% of shareholders supported it. Annuncio • Sep 21
