New Risk • Apr 26
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: 1.8% Last year net profit margin: 3.0% 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: Major Risk Interest payments are not well covered by earnings (2.6x net interest cover). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.7% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.8% net profit margin). Market cap is less than US$100m (€43.4m market cap, or US$50.9m). New Risk • Apr 10
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 French stocks, typically moving 6.6% 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: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (17% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.6% average weekly change). Large one-off items impacting financial results. Market cap is less than US$100m (€34.1m market cap, or US$40.0m). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Apr 10

Ex-date: 30th June 2026 Payment date: 2nd July 2026 Dividend yield will be 2.1%, which is lower than the industry average of 2.4%. Sustainability & Growth Dividend is well covered by both earnings (18% earnings payout ratio) and cash flows (16% cash payout ratio). The dividend has decreased over the past 36 years, indicating a lack of growth and stability in payments. EPS is expected to grow by 150% over the next 3 years, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. New Risk • Mar 30
New minor risk - Earnings quality The company has large one-off items impacting its financial results. One-off items were 57% 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. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (17% operating cash flow to total debt). Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Large one-off items impacting financial results.

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has an unstable dividend paying track record. The dividend has had an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Dividend yield: 2.0% This is considered a minor risk. If the company has cut or reduced its dividend in the past, it may be a sign that the underlying business is too cyclical to consistently maintain or grow the dividend over the long-term.
