Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 10.0% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks High level of debt (69% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by earnings (107% payout ratio). Reported Earnings • Mar 13

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 Chilean stocks, typically moving 3.9% 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: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 12% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks High level of debt (68% net debt to equity). Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (3.9% average weekly change).

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 41% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 12% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results.

Ex-date: 12th May 2025 Payment date: 16th May 2025 Dividend yield will be 5.2%, which is higher than the industry average of 3.6%.

The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 65% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 17% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.
