Serge Ferrari Group Discontinues Pet Spinning Operations At Tersuisse Site and Reduces 62 Jobs Serge Ferrari Group announced a new phase in the rollout of its plan to streamline its industrial operations, with plans to cease operations at the Tersuisse site, its high-tenacity PET (polyethylene terephthalate) yarn production plant located in Emmenbrücke, Switzerland, which employs 62 people. Industrial continuity would be fully ensured through external supplies of PET yarn. The Group would, however, retain the intellectual property and technological expertise related to its specialty yarns. Warping operations would be transferred to the La Tour du Pin site to secure the value chain and keep key expertise at the heart of the industrial infrastructure. In line with its strategic plan, this project aims to strengthen the Group’s competitiveness and industrial flexibility to better address the accelerating pace of change in its business segments. It would result in exceptional expenses in the first half of 2026, with a limited cash impact, but would have a positive effect on operating profitability while reducing capital employed starting in 2027.

New Risk • Mar 27
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 45% 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 Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.2x net interest cover). Earnings have declined by 45% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (€80.0m market cap, or US$92.1m). Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Mar 12

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €82.5m (US$95.8m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.2x net interest cover).
