Dr. Martens plc, Annual General Meeting, Jul 15, 2026 Dr. Martens plc, Annual General Meeting, Jul 15, 2026. Declared Dividend • May 21
Final dividend of UK£0.017 announced Dividend of UK£0.017 is the same as last year. Ex-date: 27th August 2026 Payment date: 7th October 2026 Dividend yield will be 3.8%, which is lower than the industry average of 4.7%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (103% earnings payout ratio). However, it is well covered by cash flows (19% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 1.1% per year over the past 4 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 15% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 138% over the next 3 years, which is sufficient to bring the dividend into a sustainable range. Board Change • May 20

Gen Phoenix and Dr. Martens Celebrate Four Seasons of Waste Reduction with the Launch of the Solar Flare Collection Gen Phoenixand heritage footwear brand Dr. Martens are marking a major milestone in sustainable design: four consecutive seasons of partnership. In celebration of this continued collaboration, which began with the launch of the Genix Nappa collection in 2024, and just in time for the holidays, Dr. Martens is introducing the Solar Flare collection made with Genix Nappa to underscore both brands' shared commitment to long-term impact over one-off pilots and capsules. According to one report, more than 380 brand-innovator collaborations launched in 2023, though many exist as exploratory, pilot or capsule partnerships in nature rather than multi-year programs. Against that backdrop, Gen Phoenix and Dr. Martens stand out as a rare example of a long-term strategic partnership. From its first collection of Genix Nappa reclaimed leather boots in 2024 to the Solar Flare line - which for the very first time includes kids' footwear and bags - the brands have steadily expanded the use of Gen Phoenix's material made from recycled leather fibres across categories while maintaining Dr. Martens' signature durability and comfort. Each season has pushed the boundaries of what heritage design can look like when paired with next-generation materials, furthering a trend Gen Phoenix has pioneered called "luxcycling" turning waste into premium recycled materials without compromising style or quality. Introducing the Next Generation: Solar Flare Kids' Boot: With the launch of the Solar Flare kids' boot, Dr. Martens brings its reclaimed leather innovation to a new audience. The Solar Flare kids boot is crafted from Gen Phoenix's soft and lightweight yet durable Genix Nappa material, with a silver sun, moon and star print across the upper, delivering the same comfort of the original adult Genix Nappa styles. Perfect for growing feet that don't keep still, while aligning with the values of climate conscious shoppers and wearers. Expanding the Circular Revolution: From Boots to Bags: The Solar Flare collection also introduces Dr. Martens' first bag crafted from Gen Phoenix's reclaimed leather material, a category expansion that demonstrates the scalability of Gen Phoenix's circular technology platform. Together, the brands continue to advance their shared goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, showing how material innovation can be woven into iconic design without compromising identity or integrity. To date, Gen Phoenix has helped Dr. Martens: Divert 15 tonnes of leather offcuts from going to waste, roughly the weight of 15 compact cars; Save 693 tCO2e compared to conventional leather, approximately 1.7 million air miles, or 300 round-trip flights from London to New York. These joint efforts from Gen Phoenix and Dr. Martened to transform landfill-destined leather into high-performance Genix Nappa material have resulted in four seasons of durable, comfortable, waste-reducing footwear and accessories. The partnership embodies a simple philosophy: reclaimed leather, remade to last. Aankondiging • Jun 18

Dr. Martens plc Proposes Final Dividend for Fiscal Year Ended 31 March 2024, Payable on 1 October 2024 The board of Dr. Martens plc has proposed, subject to shareholder approval, a final dividend of 0.99 pence (fiscal year 2023: 4.28 pence), taking the total dividend for fiscal year ended 31 March 2024, including the interim dividend of 1.56 pence, to 2.55 pence, a 35% payout ratio.

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 British stocks, typically moving 9.9% 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 22% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (74% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (200% cash payout ratio).

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.1% 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 0.1% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks High level of debt (74% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (200% cash payout ratio).

New minor risk - Financial position The company has a high level of debt. Net debt to equity ratio: 74% This is considered a minor risk.

It can also increase the risk of bankruptcy if business conditions deteriorate enough that the company can no longer meet its debt obligations. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (74% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (202% cash payout ratio).
