Cherry SE Launches Cherry XTRFY Launches K5 Pro TMR Compact Keyboard Cherry SE announced that Cherry XTRFY’s popular K5 keyboard was taken to a new level. This gaming keyboard, featuring CHERRY MK Crystal Magnetic switches and TMR sensing technology, combines precise input and ultra-fast response times with a compact, stylish design. The key component of CHERRY XTRFY‘s new gaming keyboard is Tunnel Magnetoresistance (TMR) technology, considered the next evolutionary step in magnetic switches. Compared to Hall Effect sensing, TMR delivers even greater precision by capturing extremely small changes in the magnetic field, enabling accuracy down to 0.01 mm. For gamers, this technology translates to noticeably higher sensitivity and shorter response times. Paired with CHERRY MagCrate software, it also enables complete control over every keystroke, including fine-tuning actuation points and assigning multiple functions to a single key based on how far or how long it’s pressed. The K5 Pro TMR Compact boasts an 8000 Hz polling rate, transmitting signals to the computer up to eight times per millisecond. Combined with TMR, which detects keystrokes without mechanical contact, the keyboard delivers maximum sensitivity, stable signals, and minimal latency. ARGB LED strip lighting elevates the setup with a dynamic spectrum of colors, enhancing the K5 Pro TMR’s sleek design. Advanced features further refine the experience: with hot-swap support, switches can be easily replaced with other magnetic options, while the keyboard's construction ensures a premium typing experience. A high-quality metal plate construction, combined with multi-layer damping and pre-lubricated, PCB-mounted stabilizers, guarantees smooth, vibration-free, and acoustically clear feedback. The compact 65% layout also provides the necessary freedom for wide mouse movements and ensures a clean, ergonomic setup. High-quality materials and a stylish design complete the package. Combined with ultra-fast TMR performance, the K5 Pro TMR is the ultimate tool for ambitious gamers who demand uncompromising precision, speed, and comfort. The CHERRY XTRFY K5 Pro TMR Compact is available now at a recommended retail price of EUR 149.99. Price Target Changed • Feb 13

New Risk • Aug 05
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings have declined by 62% 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 62% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Less than 1 year of cash runway based on current free cash flow (-€11m). Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable next year (€22m net loss next year). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.8% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (€18.6m market cap, or US$21.4m). Duyuru • Jul 25

CHERRY XTRFY Launches New Series of Wireless Gaming Mice CHERRY XTRFY announced it is now launching its new series of wireless gaming mice. The ergonomic M64 and the symmetrical M68 offer better grip and control, lower weight and higher performance. Both models are available in Pro versions with an 8000 Hz polling rate. Evving from previous models - XTRFY's best-selling M4 as well as the innovative M8 mouse - CHERRY XTRFY made the M64 and M68 based on input received from professional players, reviewers and the gaming community over the past years. The result is two brand new mouse shapes and new, leading technology. With the 8K wireless technology featured in the Pro models, the mice report to the computer every 0.125 latency and send up to eight times more data than a standard 1000 Hz gaming mouse, making cursor movements smoother and enabling the computer to respond faster to every click. According to external testing carried out in May, the M64 Pro Wireless has "the lowest click latency of any wireless mouse on the market, and also the most consistent." As an evolution of the popular XTRFY M4, the M64 is the option for gamers who prefer an ergonomic form factor. The new design is reinvented for an even better grip, with adjusted side curvature, button grooves and an ultra-low front, which allows the user to move their fingers closer to the mousepad for enhanced control in every swipe. Gamers can choose between the standard M64 Wireless with a 1000 Hz polling rate or the M64 Pro Wireless with ultra-fast 8000 Hz technology. Shaped by feedback from players, the M68 has a new size, redesigned curvature, and the low button height is enhanced further by added comfort grooves, improving grip and accuracy. In terms of technology, the M64 Wireless and M68 Wireless share the same components and specifications, and both are available in standard 1000 Hz as well as 8000 Hz Pro models.

The easy-to-wipe and disinfect keyboard complete with abrasion-resistant writing and a flat profile so that no liquid residue remains from disinfection, whilst the two computer mice with a 3-button scroll and scroll sensor are waterproof and easy to clean with their crevice-free design. The blue light sensor, they can also be used on any shiny surface. The new hygiene desktop is ideal for extensive entry in hospitals, doctors' surgeries, laboratories, other healthcare facilities, where disinfecting devices is mandatory. When cleaning standard office keyboards, (even when internally sealed) contaminated cleaning fluids can potentially leak out of the gaps. It is also possible the functionality could be impaired if liquids seep into the keyboard housing. Conventional hygiene keyboards also tend to have the key profile raised in such a way that contaminated cleaning fluid collects in the gaps between the keys. Any germs that survive in the fluid can in turn be spread by staff on their hands. In addition to the new hygiene desktop, Cherry has also expanded its existing protected peripheral line to offer a wider range of layouts and configurations to meet the diverse needs of its customers. This expansion includes color options and layouts including Spanish, French Canadian and French. Available at authorized distributors with prices starting from $64.99. Product details: The Hygiene Desktop 2 is an individually configurable set consisting of the AK-C8112 hygiene keyboard and the AK-PMH3 3-Button Scroll and AK-PMH3 Scroll Sensor hygienic mice. The AK-C8112 hygienic keypad: The AK-C8112 is the optimized version of its predecessor, the AK-C8100, and has significantly better cleanability due to its flat key profile. The AK-C8112 has a replaceable silicone membrane or a fully sealed IP68 protection class and is waterproof in both versions. It has a particularly flat button profile, which makes it easy to disinfect with a wipe. The keypad can also be switched off for cleaning. It is a standard office PC layout keyboard with 104/105 keys. It features a light keystroke and excellent sensory feedback. Keystroke/actuating force: approx. 2.5+/-0.5mm /60g - comparable to notebook keyboards. The keyboard can be connected flexibly, either wired (approx. 1.80 m cable length) or as a wireless keyboard.

Without profits, the company is under pressure to grow significantly while potentially having to reduce costs and possibly needing to take on debt or raise capital to remain afloat. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (14% average weekly change). Minor Risks Currently unprofitable and not forecast to become profitable over next 2 years (€1.2m net loss in 2 years). Market cap is less than US$100m (€43.2m market cap, or US$47.0m).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: €87.2m (US$93.0m) 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 Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (8.9% average weekly change). Minor Risk Market cap is less than US$100m (€87.2m market cap, or US$93.0m). New Risk • Oct 13
New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of German stocks, typically moving 8.3% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility 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. It may also indicate 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. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Reported Earnings • Aug 20
