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.

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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 286% Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (9.0% average weekly change).

Ex-date: 19th February 2026 Payment date: 31st March 2026 Dividend yield will be 9.2%, which is higher than the industry average of 1.8%.

The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 218% to bring the payout ratio under control.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.7% 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 0.7% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (159% cash payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (8.1% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (5.3% increase in shares outstanding).

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: €206k 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (157% cash payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%.
