New Risk • Oct 30
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 14% 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 Risk Earnings have declined by 14% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings (98% payout ratio). Reported Earnings • Jul 31

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 15% per year but the company’s share price has fallen by 10% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings.

Dividend of ر.س0.65 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of ر.س0.65. Ex-date: 5th August 2025 Payment date: 25th August 2025 Dividend yield will be 3.9%, which is lower than the industry average of 4.6%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not adequately covered by earnings (98% earnings payout ratio). However, it is well covered by cash flows (48% cash payout ratio). The dividend has decreased over the past 10 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 8.8% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 54% over the next 3 years, which is sufficient to bring the dividend into a sustainable range. Buy Or Sell Opportunity • Jun 03
