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 Israeli stocks, typically moving 6.7% 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: Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.7% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (7.1% net profit margin). New Risk • Mar 18
New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 7.1% Last year net profit margin: 14% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (7.1% net profit margin). Declared Dividend • Mar 18
Dividend reduced to ₪0.17 Dividend of ₪0.17 is 0.1% lower than last year.

Sustainability & Growth Dividend is covered by earnings (54% earnings payout ratio) but the company has no free cash flows available, indicating it may be using cash reserves or debt to pay the dividend. The dividend has increased by an average of 19% per year over the past 4 years and payments have been stable during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 40% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is more than the 1.4% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 108% Dividend yield: 2.6% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (108% cash payout ratio). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Declared Dividend • Mar 15

Unless this trend reverses, it should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. Reported Earnings • Mar 14

New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 40% 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Dec 02
