New Risk • May 07
New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 35% 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: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 207% Cash payout ratio: 154% Earnings have declined by 15% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (2.8% net profit margin). Reported Earnings • May 07

Fourth quarter dividend of US$0.14 announced Dividend of US$0.14 is the same as last year. Ex-date: 8th May 2026 Payment date: 14th May 2026 Dividend yield will be 7.0%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.2%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (172% earnings payout ratio) nor is it covered by cash flows (132% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 11% 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 91% to bring the payout ratio under control. However, EPS has declined by 11% over the last 5 years so the company would need to reverse this trend. Aankondiging • Apr 29

A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business.

Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows.

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years. 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 declining over an extended period, then in most cases the share price will decline over time unless the company can turn around its fortunes. A trend of falling earnings can be very difficult to turn around. If the company is well already established it may also be a sign the company has matured and is in decline. 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 Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 139% Cash payout ratio: 126% Earnings have declined by 0.5% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (6.3% net profit margin).
