New Risk • May 07
New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 55% 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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 238% Dividend per share is over 6x cash flows per share. Minor Risks Large one-off items impacting financial results.

Leifheit Aktiengesellschaft Launches the Superduster for Dusting Surfaces and Floors Leifheit AG has launched the SUPERDUSTER for dusting surfaces and floors. With this new product, the company is entering the dust market segment and consistently pressing ahead with the expansion of its innovation pipeline as part of its corporate strategy. With an estimated market volume of over EUR 200 million in Europe alone, the dust segment constitutes a very attractive market for Leifheit within the strategic core category of mechanical cleaning. A survey conducted by Leifheit also emphasises its economic importance: 73% of households surveyed dust at least once a week. This revealed growing environmental awareness among consumers and a clear trend towards reusable products for household cleaning. By launching the SUPERDUSTER, Leifheit is showcasing three key strengths: high cleaning performance, versatile application options and a sustainable concept. The SUPERDUSTER features a distinctive handle made from 96% recycled plastic. The easily removable and machine-washable microfibre covers also contribute to resource-efficient dusting. Consumers are impressed, too: over 90% of users would recommend the SUPERDUSTER to other people, as shown by a survey conducted by Leifheit together with the ipi Institute. The new SUPERDUSTER-ass assortment from the Leifheit brand features three versions to meet different consumer needs: as a handy standard version for smaller areas or narrow spaces, in an XL version for higher places or larger areas, and as a floor version for dry cleaning floors. Thanks to its compatibility with the Leifheit Click system, it is an ideal addition to the existing Leifheit product range. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Jun 03
