New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 2.2% 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 2.2% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (3.7% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Sep 14
First half 2023 earnings released: EPS: €0.29 (vs €0.17 in 1H 2022) First half 2023 results: EPS: €0.29 (up from €0.17 in 1H 2022). Revenue: €232.4m (up 9.2% from 1H 2022). Net income: €19.2m (up 66% from 1H 2022). Profit margin: 8.3% (up from 5.4% in 1H 2022). The increase in margin was driven by higher revenue. Revenue is forecast to grow 13% p.a. on average during the next 2 years, compared to a 5.1% growth forecast for the Personal Products industry in Europe. Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has fallen by 12% per year but the company’s share price has only fallen by 4% per year, which means it has not declined as severely as earnings.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.4% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (4.4% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Mar 29
