First half dividend of UK£0.029 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of UK£0.029. Ex-date: 7th May 2026 Payment date: 5th June 2026 Dividend yield will be 7.0%, which is higher than the industry average of 5.0%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not adequately covered by earnings (96% earnings payout ratio). However, it is covered by cash flows (81% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 4.8% per year over the past 10 years and has been stable with no material reductions to payments, indicating a long track record of dividend growth and stability. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 6.9% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 3.8% over the next year, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. New Risk • Mar 31
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 0.01% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Mar 16
