Declared Dividend • 8h
Final dividend increased to UK£0.15 Dividend of UK£0.15 is 10% higher than last year. Ex-date: 28th May 2026 Payment date: 10th July 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.7%, which is lower than the industry average of 3.2%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (dividend approximately 26x earnings). However, it is well covered by cash flows (36% cash payout ratio). The dividend has increased by an average of 1.3% 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 2,791% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 136% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. Announcement • May 01

New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.8% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Upcoming Dividend • Aug 03
